ROBBED IN HARRIsBURG.-Am man ma
med Richard Ashcraft, of Susquehanna
township, this county, was so unfortunate
as to allow himself to be robbed in Har-
rlsburg a couple of weeks since of the
neat lrtle sum of s400. Subsequently he
made information against negro woman,
charging her with the theft; when she
was arrested, and confessed the crime, i'm
plicating worthless negro named Jake
Jones in the transaction. This latter Der.
sonage was also arrested in Pittsburo
shortly after, and both parties are now
rusticating in the Harrisburg jail. We
did not hear whether any of the stolen
money had been recovered.

Add to this the fact that in partial

Jackson, Maj. Johns, Adjt. Robert A.
M'Coy, (of Ebensburg,) together with

tion becomes violent that the fortunes Of
war have thrown large proportion of our
brave boys upon the tender mercies of the
enemy.
Various conflicting rumors are going
the rounds as to the probable fate of the
company. As no letters have been re-
ceived here from the soldiers since the
battle, these must necessarily be mere
speculation, to which but slight impor-
tance should be attached. Although the
suspense is terrible, let us exercise pa
tience, and hope for the best.
