! Daring HighxaW Robbery.

A daring highway robbery occurred on the
Bloomfield Turnpike on Thursday night, OIL
which the Newark Advertiser gives the fol
lowing account
"Mr Young, the victim, was returning
home from a trip into the country, where he
had been supplying the customers of the Titus
Brothers, his employers, with crackers, &c.
When he reached point in the road nearly
opposite the Boiling spring, and where the
woods south side are very thick and
cover a swamp, he was accosted by two men,,
one of whom, upon his refining up, sprang upon
the wagon, seized him by the throat, pulled
him to the ground, and gave him blow on
the back part of the head with stone
laying him senseless by the roadside. When
he recovered consciousness, he felt severe
pain in his head, and found that blood was
flowing copiousy from a wound he had re-
ceived, A wagon fortunately approached
the place just at that moment. and he called
for assistance, which was reRnered him by the
occupant Mr.. Allen Andrews, who resides in
the vicinity, He subsequently discovered
that he had been robbed of his watch and all
the money lover $lO0) he had in his possess
ion. His team, which was not in sight when
he regained consciousness, and which he
supposed had been also stolen, was found at
the toll-gate, where it had made it's way with
out driver Information of the robbery was
at once given to the police, but as the victim
of the robbery did not know the men, and will
be unable to identify them, there is little hope
of their being brought to Justice.

From the Paterson GUARDIAN
That Virginia Hay:Stack on Fire.
"And they who in terror deemed,
A mighty host behind,
And heard the tramp of thousands
On every whistling wind"

There was hay-stack on fire down in Vir-
ginal Well, what of it? There have been
hay-stacks on fire in our good old Jersey State
But what of that? There was hay,stack on
fire down in old Virginia, at Harper's Ferry
and it has spread terror throughout the Old
Dominion. The countrymen of Washington,
of Morgan, of Monroe, have been stricken with
terror. What for? Why, because there was
one day last week.a hay-stack on FIRE down in
Old Virginia, at Harper's Ferry. The Old
Dominion, the mother of Presidents, the land
of Patrick Henry and Thomas Jefferson, whose
brave words-n a critical hour-aroused the
American mind to repel British usurpation,
has been frightened until she shook in her
boots, (if Virginia wears boots, because there
was hay-stack on fire down in old Virginia,
at Harper's Ferry. That is all. We say
there was hay-stack on fire down in old Vir-
GINA, and straghtway there flashed all over
this broad land a sound of alarm. TERROR

our readers about it more particularly; but
for the present, with our limited information
can only say, there was hav-stack on fire
down in old Virginia. at Harpers Ferry, and
when Governor Wise, Colonel Davis, Granny
Buchanan, &c, get over their big scare, We
will, if we can ever learn about it, give the
full particulars of that hay-stack that burned
way down in old Virginia.

Heavy Robbery,

The Salem Standard says the heaviest rob
berry ever committed in that county was per
petrated on Saturday night last, between the
hours II and 3 o'clock, at the house of Mr..
Isaac johnson, in the township of Upper
Pittsgroye, near the Pole Tavern. For bold
ness it is without parallel in this section The
robber effected an entrance by boring hole
through the kitchen door, which enabled him
to remove the bolt This done, the way to
Mr.. Johnson's bedroom, on the first floor, was
clear. Upon entering it, the thief, it is sup.

from his pantaloons pocket, and the treasure
removed. When Mr. j. awoke in the morn

turbed. and on rising he discovered large
keen-edged butcherknife lying on chair at
his bedside The idea flashed across his
mind in an instant, that he had been robbed
Upon examining the safe he realized his worst
fears. Considering all the circumstances,
there can be but little doubt that the thief
was acquainted with the premises, and knew
that Mr. johnson was ia possession of the

Later from Europe.

BY the steamer Canada, which arrived at
Sackville on Saturday, we have Liverpool
dates to the 9Th, being three days latter than
those by the Hungarian. The Hon. Charles
Sumner and Gen. Van Rensselaer, and lady
are passengers. 1t is asserted that England
will join the European Congress, and also
that France and England were completely
agreed on a basis for the settlement of the
Italian question. Further details of the re-
cent great gale on the English coast are Civ
en-. The trip of the Great Eastern from Holy.
head to Southampton was regarded as much
more satisfactory than either of the other ex.
perimental trips. The organization of the
French army for China is considered as being
definitely settled, and preparations for its en-
barkation have commenced. The cholera had
broken out among the French troops destined
to invade Morocco, and fifty per day died of
it. A vague report is circulated that Cara
baldi, at his interview with the King of Sar-
DINA, declared that Italy had been betrayed,
and that he would head a revolution. The
King protested against such course. The
statement is reiterated that the Pope will
grant the suggested reforms after the insurg-
ents of the Romagna return to their homes.
Gen. O'Donnell has been appointed Comuan-
der-in- Chief of the army of Spain.

Rss- We have to record, says the Trenton
True Democrat, another sad accident from
careless use of firearms. On Saturday last
two young men were out cunning in the vicin

to fire over the head of his comrade at rab

Of New Jersey.

" Hon. W 4. L. DAYTON, of this city is promi
nently spoken of at Washington City, among tn,

nomination for the Presidency in 1S60-T5ento,
True american, Of NO0. 18th
Thus it appears that New Jersey is awaken
ing the attention of the political world, and in
the name of one of her most honored sons, is
worthy of serious consideration in regard to
the Presidential campaign of 1860.
Prominent in the days of the Revolution
for her early devotion and high toned patriot
ism, in behalf of the best interests of tie
Union, she, in common with all her sister
states, can point with pride to the bright
record of her SrocKToNs, her LIVINGSTON, and
subsequently, to her SoUTHARD, and her WALL
whose sterling integrity, intellectual great
ness, and uprightnesS of character, placed New
Jersey second to none on the floor of the
Senate, or in the councils of the nation.
She still rejoices, with equal pride, in the
name OF her DAYTON, whose eloquence and
abilities as a statesman, in the capacity Of
Senator, added new lustre to the history of his
State-an eloquence that claimed the serious
consideration of WEBSTER and CLAY, and his
worthy compeers, and secured to himself and
his native State, as bright record as he
found, from the hands of his illustrious prede-
cessors.

while standing in front of the store of Mr..
Daniel W. Holmes, of Keyport. on Wednes-

to the residence of their owner. The wagon,
an open one--eontained Mr. Eastmond's three
small children at the time When near home,
Mr.. Ullman succeeded in rescuing the small
est from the wagon, after which the other two
jumped out without doing themselves any in
jury. Their escape was almost miraculous
