Highway Robbery in Memphis in
open Day!

We are called upon this morning to record
one of the most hgh-handed acts of villainy
that has occurred in the history of our city.
A gentleman was knocked down and robbed
by three ruffians, in open day, in one of the
most frequented streets of the city! The sub
ject of the outrage was gentleman named
Charles Whitehead, of DeSoto county, Miss,
who came to this city, we believe, on Monday.
He had been stopping at the Mississippi
House, on Shelby street, below Towards
Row, aud, after settling his bill, with the
view of returning home by the afternoon
train over the Mississippi and Tennessee Rail-
road, he halted few minutes in conversation
with party of lOaters, at the conner of How
ards Row and Shelby street. He then en-
tered the adjacent drinking saloon and treated
party, among whom were the identical in
dividuals who subsequently assaulted and
robbed him. After he left the coffee-house he
proceeded Immediately on foot toward the
depot of the Mississippi and Tennessee Rail-
road, pursued at short distance by three of
the ruffans who had taken a drink with him
just before. When the whole party, four in
number, reached the corner of Shelby and
Vance streets. signal was given by one of
the men, when Mr.. Whitehead was knocked
down, his pocket slit. and his pocket-bOok,
which contained about S160, was taken from
him. The three men then made their escape.
The unfortunate man sustained fracture
of the right ankle in the fall, and received
other injuries. Mr. Whitehead was taken up
very soon afterwards and conveyed to the
Mississippi House, where he now remains in
a suffering, though not critical condition. His
wounds were dressed by DR.. Keller, who has
very little doubt but that his ankle is frac-
tured.
The outrage was committed about two
o'clock yesterday afternoon and it is remark
able that, although the locality in which it
occurred is popular thoroughfare, lady
was the only witness to it. By her screams
she excited the attention of persons in the
neighborhood, but they came too late to avert
the fearful outrage.
Mr.. Whitehead is a poor man, and has
family of eleven children in DeSoto county,
Mississippi. He is therefore poorly able to
sustain the loss. The villains who perpetra-
ted the act are known to the police, and could
be identified by Mr.. Whitehead himself. We
trust they will soon be brought to Justice

We stumbled upon party of boys on their
way TO school yesterday, who had formed
themselves into line, with satchels swung
over their backs for knapsacks, and laths up
to the left shoulder for muskets, commanded
by bright eyed. manly little fellow, whose
huge tin sword, like that of the Mock Duke
in the Honeymoon, kept constantly getting
in between his legs and prevented his keep
ing step with the rest.
We were somewhat curious to learn what
could, on this warm summer morning, induce
the boys to forego the shady side of the
street and march down the center, in the
broiling sun, and we kept pace with them
until just before they reached the school
house door, when halt was commanded.
The little Captain having given the order to
.'front faces" strutted up and down, and re-
viewed his troops with evident satisfaction,
and then giving the order to crest" he adj
dressed them: "Fellow-soldiers, it is not
necessary for your Captain to tell you the
reasons which have compelled US to organize.
No! You have all read. and those of you
that can't read have been told by you fathers,
that the British have been searching our
vessels. Now, all of you know, who have
read 'GOodrich's History that this was the
cause of the last war with Gread Britain; and.
fellow-soldiers! take my word for it, this will
be the cause of another war with the Red
Goats" Bill Jones, your father says Buch-
anan won't fight, but mine says it, perhaps,
who ought not to say it, for he's promised an
appointment that few more years of such
outrages. and he'll have it stopped. But
fellow soldiers, there is no harm in our rails
ing this company, if only for appearance
sake, and perhaps there may be a necessity
for oar turning out. with our big brothers.
double barrelled guns, if boat from the
British steamer Styx should pull up the river
and attempt to search the steamers that leave
every evening for the np-river."
The ringing of the bell for opening school
caused the ranks to break and disappear into
the gate of the school-house. We shall watch
this company with some interest.-N o.

Retrenchment and Reform-Neyv Id
ADMINISTRATION Enemies.
WASHINGTON, May :

WASHINGTON, May ~.
There is strong movement in favor of re-
trenchment and reform in the public expendi-
lures. 1oombs opened the ball in the Senate
aud found fault so sharply with the Admins
tration that the hounds are upon his scent al
ready. What a funny thing il would be if
Toombs and Douglas should eventually be
found fighting the Buchanan Administration !!
Yet il may be the case before 1858 is gone.
The sharp criticisms OF Toombs have started
the bile of gentlemen at the other end OF the
Avenue, learn. Even the President himself
SAYS that when ones friends act in such man
ner, that war to the knife may be expected
from ones enemies. Toombs is one of the
most independent men in the Senate. He
represents State which asks for and gets few
offices, and therefore has no army of Office
applicants at his heels. He is naturally in-
dependent and lordly, and his manners show
il. He cares very little whether the Admin
istration likes his speeches or votes, and any
iutimation of disfavor at the White House
would only turn him into tiger. The best
thing the Administration men can do is to
pass over his attack with as little notice as
possible.
In the House, Mr.. Sherman, of Ohio, has
made notable speech upon the same subject,
and to a certain extent iii the same vein as
the speech of Mr.. Toombs. He did not make
a party speech, but addressed himself to men
of all parties. Ii was listened TO with great
attention by both sides of the House.
There are all sorts of rumors in reference
TO the question of the final adjournment of
Congress The general opinion Is that on
June 7th both Houses will adjourn sue die.-
There are occasional hints that II Congress
adjourns at that time the President will call
them together again, but | doubt If he will
take the responsibility.

Highly Important Intelligence.

The intentions of Governor Stewart re-
specting the disturbances in the western part
of the State, by bands of desperadoes from
Kansas, some of whose lawless acts have al
ready been given to the public, were mani
tested yesterday.
A gentleman who came down in the cars
last night from Jefferson City, informs us that.
before his departure, the Governor had re-
solved TO resort to summary measures to re-
store peace and security to persons and prop
erty within the section of the State harrassed
and plundered by the reckless Montgomery
and his confederates, and that the extreme
though necessary measure of repelling force by
force, was justiiiable under present circum-
stances.
On yesterday. therefore, thirty 5ores Of mus
kets were Withdrawn from the State Armory
and put on board the steamer Minnehaha for
transport to Kansas City. They were in
charge of Quarter Master General Hackney,
who was hastily summoned from this city on
Saturday last by the Governor
Militia Inspector Blakey, and the Adjutant
General of the State were likewise in COM
pany.
Our informant is not aware that the Gov
ernor has received later or more alarming
intelligence from the border, or that this
movement is based upon any action of the
Kansas marauders later than those of which
We are already cognizant in St. Louis. He
reasonably infers, however that this shipment
of muskets To that quarter is to arm the
militia of some of the Western counties, who
will doubtless be enrolled and mustered into
service on the arrival of the State officials
who are on their way thither.
Our citizens will await with extreme in
terest the arrival of authentic intelligence
regarding the motives and purposes of the
State authorities at Jefferson City. Tele-
graphic advices from that place have wholly
failed to the present.-!S. LOUIS Republican,

Messrs EDITORS: This hitherto quiet neigh
borhood has been considerably excited by the
singular discovery of a cave. Before giving
YOU description of it, however, will men
ton circumstance that transpired here last
summer: A man was murdered on the Cum
berland mountain-a gentlemen from Mis-
souri,. He proved to be one of band OF
counterfeiters, and was murdered by one of
his own clique; two suspected persons were
taken up. and one of them was tried and con-
demned. but by some means he has got u new
hearing; his trial will come off the first week
in June 1t was discovered, during the trial
that there was band of counterfelters
through all this section of the country.
Now for the cave: 1t is situated within
about sixty yards of the old Kentucky stock
road, and has been shut up, from all appear
ances for many n year. No one knew OF its
existence, except some of the band 1t was
opened, and nobody here knew anything as
this section to Arkansas, few years back
and then returned a short time since. Rumor
has it, that letter was sent to him, stating
that this cave was here, and had been shut up
for number of years, and the moulds and
apparatus for making counterfeit money were
hid in it; also, about half a million dollars OF
spurious coin and metal for making 1t. Some
OF the band fed from this country. carrying
with them the contents; what was really IN
the cave none know here, unless 1t is few
that are in the mystery. If the parties
finding the entrance had dug two feet either
way, they would have missed it.

I'm in nifty hurry /" was the reply.
Frank" added the disguised officer, in an
under tone, ''when order you to let go the
jib, you must draw it aft as hard as your
strength will let you. 1 at the same time

through the companion way, "take q good

stamp my foot on the deck over your heads,

low me-"
''Heave to, or III sink you. What are
you palavering about" shouted the English
man.
The two vessels were now side by side,
steering the same course, abeam of each other
the tender TO leward, about a hundred
fathoms off,
"Wal, don't be too free with your powder,
and will. Aminadab, let go that jib sheet"
Eyes. WILL" answered the young REFER;
and with hearty will he began to draw it to
windward at the same moment the American
officer put the helm hard up, and the sloop
rapidly paid off right towards the tender.
"Let go that jlb sheet!'' shouted the En-
glish officer.
Eyes, Aminadab, you tarnal fool you, let
it go, sayl Let it gol Don't you see we are
coming right aboard the captains vessel?"
But 'Aminadab'' pulled the harder and
fairly took a turn with the sheet about be-
laying pin.
The English officer was about to pour out
upon him volley of oaths, when seeing that
the slOop would certainly fall foul of him, he
turned to give orders for the protection of his
own vessel but ere he could utter them, the
sloop's bows, struck her near the fore rigging
and swung round, stern with stern. At the
same iastant the American officer stamped
upon the deck, aud forty men made their APP
pearance from the matches, forecastle and
cabin, and leaped after Percival upon the
tenders deck.
The Englishman taken by surprise, surren-
dered without scarcely striking blow; and
getting both vessels under sail, in the very
sight Of the frigate, the gallant young captain
sailed with his prize back into the harbor,
and safely anchored her off the Battery after
an absance of six hours and twent-seven min
utes.
This exploit is doubtless one of the boldest
and most spirited affairs that came off during
the war, and the account given above is a
faithful narrative of the transaction.
