The Grs.t Attnmnt or ROhborr.

The New York Times gives these addition
al particulars regarding the attempted rob-
berry in that city;
The discovery Of the burglary occurred
yesterday morning. shortly before o'clock.
At that hour Mr.. D. B. Halstead, the Cashier
of the Bank, on attempting to open the vault
door, which was secured by one of Butter
fields patent locks, found that the key would
not turn, and the fact surprised him very
much. After several vain attempts to open
the door, Mr.. ]. P. Hodgkins, an employe of
Mr.. George D. Baldwin, agent for Butter
fields locks, was sent for, and an examina-
ton soon convinced him that the lCck had
been tampered with. As there is no means
by which locks of this description can be
picked, it became necessary to remove a por-
ton of the wall, which having been done, a
man passed into the vault, and opened the
door from the inside, by removing the lock.
1t was then found that the vault had been
visited by burglars, who had gained access as
above described. Burglars tools were scat
tered about in the vault and in the hole be-
meath, while the safe indicated thai an at
tempt had been made to enter it by boring
through the top. The iron band running
around the top of the safe, had been wrench
ed off from one side, and at least two dozen
holes had been bored, apparently with a
brace aud bit through the outer surface of
the safe.
The excavation directly beneath the safe,
was about 8 feet in diameter, afording ample
space for the burglars to work. Descending
into this excavation it vas found to be filed
with various tools which had been used,
prominent among which were two jack
screws, used in raising buildings, each capa-
BILE of lifting at least forty tons, whose office
it had been to break the thick tagging which
composed the floor OF the vault. Scatteted
about the place were all the books of the
bank, which had been removed from the top
of the safe TO allow the burglars to operate.
The passage leading from this excavation to
the cellar on Greenwich street, was found to
be very irregular, indicating that the bur
glars had worked at random. 1t was in no
part more than eighteen inches in height,
barely admitting the body of man, and
was cut through hard soil, sapping in it
course two foundation walls, and extending
seventy feet in length.

Willis, in his last letter to the Home Jour
nal, says the machine F." TO insert a pig at one
end and grind out saussges at the other" is
really slow in comparison with the new
invention for setting types-a visit to which
was the object of one of his recent walks in
New York:
sAlden's type-setter not only can set types
as fast as eight men, but distributes, or res
torres to their places, the same amount by the
same process-an aE-TeeuperatOB Of outlay,
which it is wondrous to believe (for an edi-
tor, at least) may be possible principle in
Nature
The type-setter is worked like piano, by
playing on keys-the II ere touch on the key,
for the letter a, for instance, being instead Of
the old fashion of taking up that letter with
the fingers, turning it right end up andright
side front, and putting it into the line, to be
adjusted with spaces. 1t is & revolving table
of brass-the machine-worked by the small
est steam power, and the cost is about fifteen
hundred dollars 1t would clear ITSELF Of
course, by the saving Of labor, TO say moth
ing of the accelsration of work to which
speed is so necessary in very shOrt time.
Without going into a particular description
of the machinery, may say, as one who has
been a Well-taught type-setter himself, that it
seemed to me as the locomotive seems to the
stage-driver or as the steamboat to the pad
der of the canoe-aR impossible desiderGtlul
brought miraculously to pass.
perhaps the most curiously ingenious part
of the invention is that which gives the COM
positor a chance to scratch his head or in
dulge in a revery, speak to his friend or light
his cigar, mend the grammar or criticize the
copy -obviating, that is to say, the necessity
of rigidly keeping up with the unvarying
steam propulsion of the machine. This is
done by register wheel, which makes sig
mails for the letters before they are taken, and
which will allow as many as sixty TO aecum-
ulate before they are disposed of, with NJ
hindrance to the action of the machinery
Could anything be more like a brain turned
into brass2

From the New York Evening Pos
The TreubIes of Rnrrnuers.


The Confederate States need fifteen ruil-
lions, and will pay eight per cent. for it
South Carolina also needs million or so,and
offers eight per cent. Louisiana will give the
same for few millions. Florida is in the
market to borrow, and viii scarce hesitate to
promise any required per centage; and Mis-
sissippi also requires a loan. With modest
recollection Of old debts unpaid, the last
named state proposes ten per cent, and to
make The operation perfectly safe and sure,
offers as security t'the incorporating integ-
rity Of chivalrous people"
Meantime a New Orleans paper informs US
that ''the agents of Europeans who have sent
their capital to Louisiana for profitable in
vestment, have been notified to withdraw the
same and return it to its owners, who, with
an ignorant blindness characteristic of the old
world people, stupidity prefer the three or four
per cents. Of their rotten governments to the
eight ten, twelve or more offered in this re-
gion OF inexhaustible resources"
This remarkable blunder of European cap
italists accounts for the haste with which
Messrs. 4ancey & Co. are of to Europe. If
they take fast steamer they may yet over
take the departing cash, and if they had only
an armed steamer, they might even enjoy the
greater felicity OF taking them back with
them, without the usual COMMONPLACE for
malities Of receipts and promises to pay.

heard it remarked in various quarters that

tion we found it to be even so. Entire para.
graphs had been either copied UsTbatiM, or
paraphrased so slightly as only to mar their

article even mention the existence Of the

Ualon Feeling as Charleston.
The Charleston correspondent Of the New
York Tribune writes;

The Charleston correspondent Of the New
York Tribune writes;
CHARLESTON, March 2l, 1861.
The more pursue my voyages Of discovery
along the highways and byways OF this
swampy city, the more am certain that the
evacuation of Fort Sumter is no military ne
cessity, and ought not to be ordered until the
Government have taken every means in their
power to obtain trustworthy information Of
the strength and weakness Of the rebels here
on the spot. If an agent OF the Government
will visit me in Charleston, will undertake
to satisfy him beyond the shadow of doubt
that volunteer force of thousand mea who
are now resident in this city can be found
within 24 hours TO enrol themselves on the
side OF the Union. Beside this, | am in pos
session Of information, which is entirely sat-
isfactory to me, that there are now upon the
islands German companies of volunteers
whose aggregate number Is GO men, 600 of
whom have not the slightest sympathy with
Secession, hut, on the contrary, have q warm
and enthusiastic love of the Union. l am
assured by lieutenant of enc OF these com
panies that the first shot at Fort Sumter
would be their signal for revolt. l cannot
give better proof OF the possibility Of these
statements being true than by assuring you
that my informant, now serving on Morris
Island, stumped the State of Wisconsin four
years ago on behalf of Carl Schurz. Shortly
afterWard, business matters brought him 10
Charleston; he assures me that his views
have undergone change in only one respect,
and that is in reference to the Slave 0ligarehy,
for which he has great and growing
contempt. He says that although the organ
ized militia regiments have all obeyed the or
ders Of the Governor in entering upon active
service, he, being a member of most Of
the German societies, and intimately ac-
quainted with their feelings and intentions,
can positively assert that the German COM
panies will never fire gun upon United
States troops; that they will never consent
to periure themselves on behalf of the slave
power, but that, on the contrary, the first gun
fred against the Government they have
sworn allegiance to, will be their signal for re-
volt, and their bugle-call to muster under the
folds of the stars and stripes. This good
friend Of mine, who is very intelligent man,
came over from the island this morning to
visit bis family, and as he stood at his own
door with me, in a street not far behind the
Charleston Hotel, he pointed me to ten houses
in his immediate neighborhood, in which
every occupant is true to his country.

Awful Aa.aIr On the Wsst Side.

A distressing affair occurred day before
yesterday on the West side of the river, which
has plunged three of our most respectable
families into the greatest distress and con-
sternation, and which may yet be productive
of the most embarrassing difficulties. We
suppress the real names of the sufferers at
their earnest request.
On the afternoon of the day named, Mrs.
A. received a visit from two of her neighbors,
Mrs. B. and Mrs. O. Each of these ladies
was the happy mother of little daughter,
about six months old. They brought their
infants with them, and at tea time, all three
of the children having fallen asleep, placed
them on the bed in Mrs AS chamber, and
went to supper. Now, in the family of Mrs.
A. are two young gentlemen boarders, who
have more desire for sport and mischief than
good sense. Coming home to supper these
scapegraces CHANGED to pass the door of Mrs.
AS room, which was opened and saw the
three babies lying asleep. Actuated by the
very spirit of mischief, they set to work and
aceually changed the clothing of the three
inRocents, placing the clothes Of Mrs. AS
baby upon Mrs. BIS baby, those of Mrs. B's
baby upon Mrs. Os baby, and those of Mrs.
C's baby upon Mrs. AS baby. This done
they went TO supper, and entertained the
ladies with their witty conversation until
the hour for departure arrived. Itwas then
quite dark, and the ladies each packed NJ
the babe she supposed to be her own, and leil
for home.
The mistake was actually not discovered
until the next morning-and then there wa!
| a scene of terrible CONSERVATION. The moth.
ers were almost frantic. The babies all haC
light hair and blue eyes, and looked so mucl
alike that to distinguish them was almost ~.
possible. At length each m)ther took tht
child she thought was hers, and went home
but took with her also the terrible doubt tina
perhaps she had got the wrong baby. Tht
/ young men, on being referred to, could no
[ tell in what manner they had changed thu
clothes. They were Immediately requested
to find another boarding house. Glieag
