or sa1an's lnfvrno has settled upon the rebel

Heavy Robbery at Rochester,
y. "a Railroad Passenger

From the Rochester N. y American, July g ]
A robbery was perpctzated at the Central
depot last evebir e, on the arrival Of the $50
cSp1ess train from tEe east, which for magnf-
Jude ard au1acity surpasses anything If the
kird In our local records.
r. Rutter, a citizen Of Memphis, Tennessee,
who, with Ills wife, child, and female cslofed
servant, was returning from visit to Sara
toga and New York. He had in his posses
sion $40, COO in Kentucky, Missouri, Georgia,
and South Carolina currency, and s., 200 in
gold. All Of this money was contained in q
small tack. which lay upon one Of the seats
occupied by Ms. R. and his party.
When the train halted in the depot, as
usual, one Of the employees passed through
thu car notifying the passengers that the rear
cars would be switched of, &c. He was fol-
lowed up clusely by another man, who, on
txposta, and rushed ou1. III. Rntter instantly
follow ed, but amid the rush and confusion
lost sight Of the thief, who prUbablr 1nlngled
with tile crowd and made his escapt.
Officer Sherman was notified, and the palicc
were Iut on the alc1t, but up to late houz
10 arretts had been made.
The sack containing the money was marked
ltgibly with the owners na1ue, George R.
Ra1ter, Of the finn Of s. D. Mcclure 6 Co.,
Memphis The eack, which il made Of oil
clotL, is eight inches long By ten broad. Be-
sides the money, 1t contained well-Worn
pocket book filed with papers and memo
Ta1da. The gold amounted to about S., zoo,
consisting Of $50 pieces. Mr. Rutter author
izes Us to eay, that he will pay reward Of
$1, COO for the recovery Of the money.
As TO the identity Of the thief, nothing salts
factory Is known. The servant states that
= man who got aboard the train at Syracuse
sat Eear the party, and eyed the bug very
closely. Mrs. Rutter fell asleep, and he ap.
preached to of1era coat to placc under her
head, but 1t was declined. Not supposing
that the contents Of the satchel were suspect
ed, Mr. R. did not exercise due vigilance, and
at the time the theft was pespetrated, was

most enthusiastic, active, and eelf sacrificing
supporters Of the war for the preservation Of
the Union.
