From Apalachicola approximations for the
Safety of our Vessels.


New YORK, Feb. II.
A Key West correspondent states that the
u. S. steamers Somerset and Port ROYAL are
at Apalachicola, and Capt. Morris of the latter
vessel has made all necessary preparations to
receive the iron clad steamer known to be up
the river and ready for sea.
He has information that the rebels have also
fitted up four large steamers after the plan Of
those that captured the Harriet Lane, and
have heightened schooner and put propel-
Ter in her. making formidable steam gunboat.
All the above fleet are nearly ready to make
the attack, aud l am expecting hourly to hear
ofprecisely such another affair at Apalachicola
as has feen witnessed at Galveston and Sabine
Pass, unless heavily reinforced, and that very
soon. The affair is bound to come of, and the
result will be as at Galveston, for Captains
Morris and Crossnan know no such word as
run.

Educational.

ET AS will be seen by advertisement Mt
in to-day's paper, Rev. J. NJ. BoeGs will
teach select classes of Boys and Young
Gentlemen in Latin and Greek, and in the
higher branches of English studies. No
one in our community could bring to this
task greater capacity, and no one could
be more conscientious and thorough. or
could exercise more wholesome influ
ence, over students, than Mr.. BoGGs. II
seems to us an opportunity that every
parent amongst us, DESTROYS of putting
bis child under superior educational and
moral influence, would embrace eagerly.
As we presume Mr.. BoGes' classes will be
limited, it will be well for those wishing
to enter them, to make early ap-
plication.

THE ROBBERY OF THE BANK AT CARRoLLToN
The robbers consisted of thirty five or
forty persons. They epresented them
selves as part of SCOTS cavalry. They
got into the house-teu or fifteen of them
while the rest of them were picketed about
the village. Mr.. Crawford, the cashier,
and his family were in the building, near
and compelled him to open the door of the
banking house. He gave them the inner
keys of tho vault, but told them that the
President, Mr.. Winslow, had the outer key
of the vault. They compelled him to go
with guard to Mr.. Winslow's house and
get him up. He had not the key. They
took him and Mr.. Crawford back to the
bank, where they threatened to cut the
throat of the cashier ond burn him up 10
the house if be didn't produce the key to
open the vault. A servant found the key.
which it seemed Mr.. c. had lost in his
hurry, before he left the room. AS soon as
they got the key they got at the funds
quickly. The President says they must
have understood how to use the inner keys
much better than he did. They got about
100000 in gold belonging to the bank, and
about 81 coo in currency, also belonging to

on the road up the river, losing near the
toll gate package of $1,000 in Kentucky
money, and four miles further 81 700 in
greenbacks. One of these packages was
found by a white man and returned; the
other was found by a negro and returned

Another conjecture is, that he will unite

Henry Clay on Personal Liberty.

In 1913, in his magnificent Grafton in the
House OF Representatives, upon the Army
Bill, Henry Clay said:
IF there be description of rights which
more than any other should unite all parties
in all parts of the Union, it IS unquestion-
ably the liberty of the person. No matter
what his vocation-whether he seeks sub
sistence amid the dangers of the deep, or
draws them from the bowels of the earth. or
from the humblest occupations of mechanic
life-wheuever the sacred rights of an
American citizen are assailed, all hearts
ought to mite, and every arm should be
hraced to vindicats his cause
That being Mr.. Clay's sentiment, how he
would thunder, if alive, against Lincoln's
Administration. which has shown less re-
spect to personal liberty than ia usually
shown by the Gar of Russia or the Emperor
oil Austria How he would have denounced |

any regard for the rights CT States can make
any defense or apology for it. Let those
rejoice over an election supervised at Wash

of the suppre ssion of votes in different places,
but we shall try to avoid any staten ent not
authenticated. The plain ruth is, the peo-
pie of this State were DISTINGUISHED and de-
prived of the right to vote according to the
Constitution aud the laws of the State. The
lesson taughtssis ominous. What are we to
expect next? is the inquiry. This is no
election, is the rem ark of men who have
always stood firmly by the Union.

closes out all pretensions of the Administra-
