SEARCHING FOR REvoLvERs-While the
search was being made Of the passengers on
the central train on Wednesday evening a
soldier noticed that lady's dress appeared
more fully breasted than it ought to have
naturally been, and his quick eye also detect
ed the fact that the artificial contents of the
lady's bosom were so pressed out against the
folds of the dress as to make it almost GER
tain that pistols were there. He was very
polite soldier, and in most gentlemanly
manner approached the lady and said {:
" Madam, want those revovers." She re-
piled Indignantly: "Sir, am a respectable
woman, and have no revolvers." The SOL
der again said very coolly: Madam,
wish you would give me those revolvers,"
pointing to her bosom. She again denied
that she had any. Without further question
ing, the soldier thrust his hand into the place
OF concealment and drew out a revolver, and
kept on repeating the operation until seven
were captured. Then gathering up the PTS
tols' ne politely remarked to the lady: "Mad-
am, your breastworks seem to be ;ron-clad."

Our friends in South Carolina have ex-
pressed so much regret, real or affected, at
the supposed unwillineness of the North to
return tugitives, that this movemet, really
majestic in its scale and in its consequences

When we add, that the streets Of this city
