The New Orleans papers of Sun
day contain long accounts of the cap
ture Of burglar named Charles H..
Robinson alias c. e.. Gordon, and
the recovery of about 1900 worth
of stolen property. At an early hour
on Saturday morning, Mr.. E. II. Mon
terio, Of No. 1873 Canal street, was
awakened by noise at door in the
balcony. Arising cautiously, he per-
ceived that the shutters had been
opened, and through the cloth shade
distinguished the outline Of man
STOPPING to raise the sash. He at
once discharged revolver, with
which he had armed himself, and the
burglar disappeared On going out
upon the balcony, drops of blood
were discovered, and the wounded
man was traced to an adjoining house,
through which he passed into the
street, where his suspicious move
ments attracted the attention of a
. policeman. The latter followed him
to his residence on Carodelet street
and arrested him. On searching the
house a great amount OF silver ware,
I clothing, fine dress goods. etc, was
found, the proceeds OF recent burgla-
ries The value of these spoiIs, be
fore stated, viii reach SIT, 600. Rob
binson's wound is on his face, just be
low the eye, and his recovery is con.
sidered doubtful. A confederate
named Munro had not becn capture d
at last accounts. s.-Cin. Gazette.

OF the delegates elected to the Mississippi
Convention, thrce-fourths at least are pledged
to immediate secession.
In Florida the result has been about the
same as in Mississippi.
The last reports from Alabama indica;.
that the "co-operation" party will have small
majority over the Immediate secessionists" =
and the indications in Georgia and Louisiana
render it probable that the "co-opcrationists
will triumph in those States also.
The cO-orerationists " generally avow
friendship for the Union, ana express re
for its reservation if it can be effected on
honorable terms advocate united action on
the part Of the Southern States, even if tlisnui-
on is eventually determined upon, and oppose
separate and independent State secession.

The guns, the order for the removal of
which caused such intense excitement, have
been shipped South from Pittsburgh. An
immense meeting was held, at which resolu-
tions were adopted favorable to the Union,
the Constitution and the enforcement of the
laws" anG calling upon the President to dis
charge his duty to the country and purge his
Cabinet of traitors. No opposition was Of
fered to the removal of the ordnance from the
arsenal, and it is by this time on its way to
Louisiana and Texas. This course on the
part of the Pilsburghcrs is highly commenda-
bic, and in striking contrast with that of the
Charleston rebels, who at this time hold pos

The evacuation of Fort MOultrie by Maj.
Anderson produced great sensation through
ont the country-has caused the Secretary of
War to retire from the Cabinet-and it is to
be hoped has stiHened the back and strength
ened the nerves OF the President to an extent
that will enable him to resist the clamor
of the secession for Anderson's withdrawal
from his present position and enforce the laws
in South Carolina or wherever else they may
be resisted or set at defiance, The with
drawaI of Floyd for the avowed reason that
the President refused to order Anderson back
to Fort Moultrle at the bidding of the South
Carolina Commissioners, is a favorable symp-
tom, and gives plausibility to the rumOrs from
Washington that the President is finally ava
kening to a scEse of his duty and will hereafter
act more loyal and manly part than he has
thus far.

The best terms the Government could make
with the capitalists in negotiating the loan OF
$5,oOO,OOO, was II per cent interest. Some
of the bidders demanded as high rate as 36
per cent. This is in striking contrast with
the state of affairs when Cobb took charge of
the Treasury Department Then the bonds
of the Government would have commanded
nearly as much premium as they are now at
discount

Eineo1n.s probable Policy.

The Springfield (IIl.) Journal, edited by .
Nephew of the President elect, contained, in
last Fridays issue, rather remarkable article
on secession. The most pointed paragraph
reads:
Ii South Carolina does not Obstruct the
collection Of revenue at hes ports, nor violate
any other federal law. there will be no trouble
and she viii not be out Of the Union If size
violates the laws. then comes the tug OF war,
The President Of the United Statcsin such an
emergency, has plain duty TO perform. Bu-
clanAn may sliirE it, or the emergency may
not exist during his administration. If not,
then the Union will last through his term of
| ofIioe. Ii the overt act on the part of South
Carolina takes place on or after the fourth of
March, 1861, then the duty of executing the
laws will dcvolye upon Mr.. Lincoln. The
laws of the United States must be executed.
The President has no discretionary power on
the subject His dlty is emphatically pro
nounccd in the Constitution. Mr. Lincoln
will perform that duty Disunion by armed
force is treason, and treason must and viii be
put down at all hazards.

'rlook into the expenditures of the ci-

the amount Of these bills, az origin

convenient for them to do so. The
Messrs. Iceland take the largest slice,
claiming $69,O64,05. From their
bills we select few choice particu-
aars. For the board Of rs riec-eat-

the moderate sum Of %17,9l0.51 or

lavish, what must we say of the three
Naval Commissioners WHO. had them
in charged Their bill for sf3 days is
$2,12O, or over $50 a day for each
man, which to say the least, is mod
est style of living. For ball and
supper, $38,S63 is charged, and the
further sum Of S7.47231 for deeora-
tions for the same. We suppose the
latter items are put upon the same
liberal basis as the bills for board, re-
ferred to above. In the bill of the
committee, we find that the japanese
had $50, 900 worth of secretaries, So
624.75 in music, $500 worth Of steam
boat, and $723,75 in printing and
stationery-almost enough to set up
a newspaper. On carriages they were
particularly hard, no less than $1,8-
$3.50 having been ridden away.
