Robbery Extraordinary.

We hoard yesterday of a robbery
on tho Central Railroad Wcdnes-
day night last. that is fully up to
the rascally spirit Of the times. 1t
appears that gentleman from Scriv-
en- county was settling for = supper
at the Brown House, when a yonnc
man standing by observed that he
had considerable sum of money on
his person. II. soon commenced
conversation with the stranger, ascer-
tanned that he was to take the Cen
trail Railroad cars that night, and
expressed great satisfaction, as
he was going that way himself. He
became very cozy with his new ac-
quaintance, won't aboard the cars
with hira, and thv took seats togeth-

til the cars had passed Griswoldville

The Best Plan.

On mex, Monday. we presume tie
General Assembly will meet in our
city. We trust that the honoyabl.
members Of tha, angus; body will
go to work with cool and deliberate
minds. Many things are to bc dom.
and some ought to be undone.
The militia bill has met with Il
very poor reception from the people
Of this State, who have always been
opposed to it il any form. We
would respectfully suggest therefore
that it be repealed, and in lieu there
of. lot handsome bonus be offered
to volunteers, who will. as pas, nc
'ions indicate, rally, the N oment that
there is actual need of their services
We can then raise an army O: mer,
who will fight. withou: sorco.
Also let an &C: bo passed allowing
persons to form themselves into tsde-
pendent companies. irrespective Of
numbers, said companies to equip
and provide for themselves. They
vii! be Of no expense to tl.e state,
and their services will be invaluable,
Our reason for this suggestion is,
tha: we have noticed such an inclina-
ton on the part of many. If any
step can be taken to assist in carry
ing out the Conscript law, it should
receive the attention Of tho Assem-.
bly, as, the benefit will be great.
