BOLD AND DARING ROBBERY IN CENTRE
CoUNTr.-On Wednesday night, the 7th
inst, the residence Of Mr.. Jacob Heck
man, an old resident of Penn tp., in this
county. was entered by seven men and
robbed Of $1,000 in gold. The robbers
were disguised in various ways, and toI
this time they have not been detected.
or any trace of them fonnd. They broke
open the outside door with a post and en-
tered the room where Mr.. Gentzel (son-in-
law of Nr. Hickman and his wife were
sleeping down stoir. Mr.. Gentzel jumped
from bisbed and commenced dressing him.
selfwhen two of the mon presen ting pistols
commanded him not to move. Others
went up stairs and held Mr.. Heck kman,
similarly in teyr0rGB, while some of the
party got the money. Immediately on en-.
tering the house, the robbers stuck a
light and proceeded coolly and boldly to
commit their midnight deed. This is
certaily one Of the most fragrant violations
of law, and the safety of society we have
heard of in many day. 1t is almost in-
credible to think that such deed could
be committed in Centre county or that
demons so black hearted could move
among us. Tia is warning to those who
have accumulated by honest industry, a
sum of money, not to hoard it in their
houses, instead Of availing themselves OF
profitable investments.
A gun and an axe had been carefully
removed from the house, as q matter OF
precaution, doubtless preparatory to CON-
mitEing the deed, and were found some.
where an the premises the next day
Who the perpetrators are, or from whence
they came. is a matter open for coniect-
ure. From the circumstances in connec.
tion with the case, it is evident that the
persons engaged in the robbery, were not
only familiar with the house, but we'll a.
ware of the exact locality in which the
old gentleman kept his money. We hope
that ctrct vigilance may be exercised by
every honest man in the community to
ferret out the offenders and bring the N to
justice. 1t is scarcely possible that seven
armed men, entirely strangers in the
community, would SO mysteriously make
their appearance, perpetrate deed of
this character, and escape without detec>
ton. --Beletonts Watchman.

The South.

The excitement in the South, which a
f-w weeks ago seemed to be confined TO
but few States is spreading rapidly
throughout the South generally. 1t is
not confined to the politicians alone but
several Of the religious denominations are
moving in this matter, especially the
Baptists. The Baptist State Convention
of Alabama met on the 18th Instant, and
resolved unanimously in favor Of disus
nion. They sent their resolution to the
Governor of the State, who pronounces it
the most important disunion movement
yet made ia Alabama.
We learn by the New York Herald, OF
Saturday that steady Virginia is moving
in the matter. The Herald says:
The course of Gov. Letcher IN calling
an extra session ofthe Legislature has giv-
en- general satisfaction. His recommen
dations, no doubt, will be marked by WIS.
do'n. prudence, craftsmanship. These are
qualities which peculiarly distinguish him.
He is perfectly calm amid the raging con,
tficts, which is an attitude well befitting
the Executive head Of the Old Dominion.
This will tell by and by, when she as
sumes the Office of mediator.
The Legislature is eminently conserva-
tive. It will be composed of the same
men who declined the invitation of South
Carolina and Mississippi last winter to
unite IN Southern confederscy. Every
effort will he made in behalf of peace and
IT would be well if The North would meet
Virginia half way, for failure in this eff.
Tort will involve thorough disunion.

The defeat of the Speakero ofthe Helper -For-

Pennington had declined being candi,

sured by his friends that Helper -Forneys
ism would not iniure his election, he at
last consented to this great sacrifice, and
accepted the nomination and the result
is that Pennington has been defeated by
Perry, Democrat, by over fye hundred
votes.
Thus two of the great Moguls of the
Black Republican party have been wisely
