The Advertiser of Thursday has the following
We have once before spoken of attempts that
have been made from time to time, for q week or
two back, to stop and rob citizens who were rid
ing down the bay road for pleasure by the light OF
the moon, and, at the same time, mentioned that
four men were under arrest, suspected Of belong
ing to the gang of "footpads.h Since then we
learn that another citizen was assailed On Monday
night, called upon to yield up his purse, and SO
badly beaten that he was net yet sufficiently re-
covered to retain his feet. This shows ceneusively
that all of the gang have not yet been taken, and
that it is werth the while of all who travel the shell
road after dark to go prepared fer any such emer
geney.
The names Of the four who are under arrest are
William Gallagher James Gala Cher, John Il, Reid
and Charles Crawley-alt but Reid, we believe,
native Mobilians. The only evidence elected SO
far is that parties have been several times stopped
on the road by gang of from twelve to fourteen

We learn that Mr.. JONES' about so years OF age,

greatly addicted to drinking, and on last Tues

friends in various parts Of the county are amplY
confrmatory of the faborahle statements made by
us last week The recent rains appear to have
been very general; and their quantity will suffice,
it is believed for all the present requirements Of
growing vegetation. The high winds have done
some damage in prOstrating corn and cotton in the
fields; bat our county, we imagine, has suffered
less in this respect than many of her nefghbors.
The fruit crop may now, without hazard, be
stated to be most abundant. The orchard trees Of
almost all kinds are everywhere bending beneath
the weight Of their fruitagey
