THE tone of the Southern journals are
somewhat boastful with reference to the
spring campaign. The Richmond Erami
ner says that it will open with the most ia.
vorabls auspices for the South. That the
rebel armies will be stronger, better armed
and better disciplined than ever before
that "the enemy is completely ignorant Of
our plan of operating. We have Smith end

Mississippi; Polk instead of Pemberton in

Robbery on the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad.

With reference to the recent attack up
on. and robbery of the Express train on the
Baltimore aud Ohio road last Friday morn.
ing, correspondent of the N. Y. Express
telegraphs that journal as follows.
BALTIMORE, Feb. 13.-It is now very
strongly suspected that the attack upon the
express train on the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad, 10 miles east of Maatinsburg, the
other night, an account of which have
telegraphed you, was gang of robbers and
cut-throats from the loyal States, peniten
tiary birds and probably deserving Federal
soldiers, who had no conneotion with the
rebels.
The robbery of the affrighted passengers
was very general; not one of them escaped
losing something. One man is said to have
lost over $4,000 in greenbacks. The pas.
sengers made no resistance, supposing they
were surrounded py an overwhelming force
of rebels. Many of them threw their jew
els, watches and money away, some of
which have since been found. No insult Eas
offered to the ladies, and no attempt to
make any one prisoner. Neither was there
any effort to burn or destroy the train
The deed was committed almost in sight of
a strong Federal encampment. All these
things look much as if the offending party
was band of robbers belonging to our own
side. Had they been rebels, the probability
is that efforts would have been mads to
capture all prisoners, as they did not know
but President Lincoln or some other dis
tinguished dignitary might have been on
board. No clue has yet been had to the
guerrillas as they are called.
IT is quite likely that this is the begin.
ming of a system of brigandage such as has
long infested the mountains of Spain and
Italy. Prompt measures should be taken
by the proper authorities for the arrest aud
punishment of the offenders in the late raid,
and for the prevention of such occurrences
in future.
