correspondent suggested in yesterday mornings
paper that a collection should be taken up next
Friday at the First Presbyterian Church, in aid of
jeff. Thompson's army. tits somewhat singular
coincidence that the same idea occurred to DR..
Palmer himself, on Sunday last, for he announced
to his congregation after the close of the discourse
that such was his intention. We would, therefore,
advise all who intend attending that church on
Friday, fast aay0 to go there prepared to give
something to the valiant Missourians, who need
the common necessaries of life.
LOWELL GUARDs.-This company had an election
for commissioned officers last week, when the fol-
lowing named gentlemen were elected: Phillip
Mcclure, Captain; John G. Mcguire, First Lieu
tenant; Samuel Bachfeld, Second Lieutenant.
This fine company is filling up rapidly, and is COM
posed of men of the right stamp Much credit is
due to the officers elect and their present Secretary
for their patriotic eXertions in getting up COM
pany composed of such material for the defence
of Southern rights. The Captain expects to have
his company ready for active service very soon,
and we doubt not when called on will render
good account of themselves. We wish them sue
cess.
STOLEN PROPERTY FouND.-House No. 3O5 Levee
street was searched yesterday by virtue Of
search warrant issued by Recorder Emerson, at
the prayer of Mr. Levy, and the officer succeeded
7 finding four gold watch chains and one gold

property. No arrests were made.
EXTENSIVE RoBBER1Es.-The police yesterday
effected the arrest of the following parties accused

hands.
Annie Morgan, accused Of stealing shawl worth
50 so from Margaret Riley. Annie had the shawl
on when taken by the officers.
It will therefore be understood that both are bad
cases. If we were not pushed for space this
ing, we would give all the incidents Of these i'm
portant arrests tell how the first suspicion came
to be entertaneG-how the police, from a mere
suspicion, built up clue upon clue, until finally the
cases were clear. Then we would tell how the
arrests were made; how, like Vidocq, the officer
watched secretly and long-tracked the criminals
day after day. until their identity was sure, and
| then, suddenly pouncing upon them, bore them of
to the calaboose amid the cheers of their admiring
comrades. But, unfortunately, we have not the
space.
