Attempted Bank Robbery.

The Robbers Ercaratc Serenity Feet to Reach
The Bank Vaults.
An attempt by burglars to undermine the
New York Exchange Bank, on the northeast
corner of Greenwich and Dey streets, was
discovered on Monday. The particulars OF
the affair, MS near as can he ascertaineh, are
as follows;
For some time past, Mr.. John Alcock
occupied cellar, No. 1888 Greenwich street,
for the manufacture Of rag carpets. About
month since, Mr.. Thomas Burke came a.
10, G, and brought out Alcock, paying him
very literally for his place. III" plan for
robhing the bank must have been formed
previous to the purchase, for. from appear
ances, the work done Ivy the burglars could
not have been accomplished much short OF a
month.
They dug sort oftunue), sufficiently large
for a man to pass through, from the cellar
occupied BY Burke, distance of about sew
cnty feet, and through almost sohd masonry.
until they reached the bank, coming up al
most directly under the safe, which con,ain-
ed about so 900 of available money They
used Il jack, of power sufficient to raise up
wards OF forty tons, to break through the
thick tagging upon which the safe stood -
| All they succeeded in carrying off WAS 5000
| in gold, and $500 in western and Suutleru
money, beongin. 10 Mr. i. l.. peck. broker,
which was contained in tin box standn"
upon the safe The burglars had not Sulii-
ciont time. after reaching the vault. or they
would doubtless have made their way into
the safe; hut it woud seem that morning
came upon them before they were aware Of
| it.
a man named Hartman Roberts, who, it is
said, had something to do with the place, was
taken into custody and locked up in the
Third Precinct Station House, on suspicion
Of being concerned in the robbery.
| The tools used by the burglars were quite
Il curit sity, consisting of large bars OF iron.
jimmys, spikes jacks, &c, in all nearly cart
load. They were all secured and carted To
the third precinct station-hcuse. From the
time the burglary was discovered lar e
crowd Of persons surrounded the place, anx
ious to crafty their curiosity with a sight II
the Herculcan lahors of the burglars.
Two notorious English bank robbers are
supposed to have been the real parties engaged
in the affair. The estimated value of the i'm
plements left behind by the burglars is 5000
$500. They are said by good mechanics t o
10 the finest and best flashed articles of the
kind.

4 treat Union Meeting.

On last Thursday week, a large and
enthusiastic meeting was held in Frcdo-
rick City, with view to organizing a
Union party. The call was signed by a
large number Of gentlemen of the Bell
Everett and Douglas parties, aud was
addressed by Senator johnson of Ten
ucssee. The address of the Senator is
Represented us being brilliant and pat
riolic effort and to have called forth loud
and exultant shouts of applause. A &C.
RIGS of resolutions was adopted from
which we select the following;
Resolved, That we see neither in Sc
cession nor sectional revolution, any
lawful. appropriate or adequate remedy
for the wrongs and injuries which con
sttuto the pretext for the action Of tho
States which have dissolved their con
ncction with the Union.
Resolved, That we regard the Scccs-
sion of these States not only as uncon-
stitutional, but as subversive of all the
principles of organized society and gov
ernmcnt, besides being unfrcndly, pre-
cipitate and arrogant, as i. respects Ma
rylaud and tho other Border States,
whose causes Of complaint are so much
greater.
Resolved. That VIC deny that any
State has the right to dissolve its con-
ncoton with the Union for any cause
short of that which would justify revo-
luton; and that revolution is on y justi-
fable, until all Constitutional remedies
have been exhausted. including the hold
ing of National Convention.
Resolved, That it is with sentiment.
not only of profound regret, but of in
dignant disapproval that we witness tho
persistent efforts which are being made
to involve Maryland in the guilt of Sc.
cession, aud through unauthorized and
irresponsible agencies to force her out OF
the Union, to which the hearts of a gen.
crous people. such as ours cling with al
the greater devotion, that suicidal hand.
have been raised for its destruction.
Resolved, That continuing to revere
the Constitution and the government os
tablished under it by our fathers, We
hereby form ourselves into an organiza-
ton whose sole object shall be the de-
fence of the Union against all its assail.
ants, secret or open, and cordially invite
our fellow citizens of the several coun-
ties of the State, including the City of
Baltimore, to form similar organisations
without regard to former political asso-
Citations
Resolved. That We hereby pledge to
each other our lives, our fortunes and
our sacred honor for the maintenance
of the Union. and our rights under it,
Resolved, That an expression of our
confidence and appreciation of his faith
full adherence to official duty during the
present crisis is due and hereby tender
cd to His Exccllcncy. the Governor Of
Maryland
Resolved, That we respectfully recon-
mend to our fellow citizens of the seve-
raj counties Of the State. including the
city of Baltil ore. to unite with us in
the appointment Of delegates, in such
manner as they shall see fit, to State
Convention, to be held IN the city of
Baltimore. on Thursday, the 2nd day

ting n Union organization throughout

As lad. the son of Mr.. James Ter

snapped with great violence. The bro

and as it sprans back it wrapped itself
about the boys leg, making a jamb not,
and casting the boy to the ground. At
the same time tho mules took fright and
ran. Thus they dragged tho poor lad
by the leg for two miles and half over
the rough, jagged stones that crowd the
tow-path in that section. When the
mules were stopped, it was found that
the boys head and face had boon bruised
almost into jelly; his garments were
in tatters, and his limbs were torn and
broken, while bits Of flesh and spots of
blood we're left upon the stones. lie still
