EXTENSIVE ROBBERY OF GoLp.-
An ingenious robbery of gold took place
on Monday in Wall street, New York,
in the following manner "A small boy
as is the very imprudent custom amcng
downtown merchants and others-wus
sent by his employer with bag con-
tanning $4,000 in gold, intended for a
broker in Wall street. At the office
the boy placed the bag on the counter,
but was told by person behind it that
the principal was not in, and that he
(the speaker) had nothing to do with
the Office business a man standing i'll

proachcdtthe boy. can right, sonny"

ger-sleave the bag. They all know
me here. III tend to it for you and
see It's all right The innocent youth,
glad to be relieved of the necessity of
waiting any longer lett the office in a
serenely unsuspecting frame Of mind.
n moment after, the stranger left with
the plundered specie, and, of course,
has not been heard from since.

ANIENDE.

The Pioneer makes the following
omen<le for the contemplate attack of
a correspondent on Gov. Miller:
"a soldier correspondent, "Miles"
complained the other day that Gov.
Miller had not fulfilled his promise to
''confer upon soldiers already in the SER
vice such military Offices as might
come within his province to bestow."
We have since ascertained that our
correspondent, has dohe INJUSTICE to Gov.
Miller. The Governor has made it a
rule, from which We understand there
has been no deviation, to require Of a
candidate for Office proof that he has
SEEN service. He does not require,
however, that they shall be actually IN
service at the time of appointment
Such rule would exclude discharged
veterans"

Of go" and others. has become perfect
ly stale. There is not even the heat Of
a Congressional canvass to Justify the
remark, nonsensical were it not crimi-
nal, that Hole.io-the-Da is melting
the Chippewa Indians to instruction
"becaase Mr., Donnelly would not per-
nit their rcmoval" Such a statement
would be deemed an insult to the in
tellisence. Of the most ignorant, boy to
be found on the streets of our city, and
if this correspondent thinks he is doing
himself any credit or Norther" Mime

rumors through the public prints, he is
greatly mistaken.
(5) "Fiually" comes the draft in the
category Of ills which seem to have fall
len only to the lot Of the Upper Missis-
sippi and Sank Valley country. True
it is that Stcarus Country has lost a
number of men, (heaven save the

might be called on to shoulder mus

enjoyed and prospered under. But

In addition to the paragraph quo
ted, this correspondent hastens to give
credence to the Maaaanah report-the
untruth of which was exposed in last
weeks DEMoCRAT-and to announce
that "our people are expecting another
Indian raid" Upon investigation "our
people" would be found to dwindle
down to about one solitary individual
This letter would not justify the
space we have given it, was it not that
the statements it contained, coming
from this locality, are calculated to do
great injury abroad, where the facts
are not known, to our portion Of the
State. What motives could have

candidate is a man upon whom devolv-
ed tor two years, in great measure,
the conduct Of this "expcriment." In
this way only can these inconsistencies
be harmonized: That, as the closing
part OF the paragraph calls for a cessa-
cion Of hostiitics, for a Convention of
the States and for peace that shall be
satisfactory to the rebels, that during
the two years in which Gen. Mcclellan
was in command Of the Union forces he
used them for the purpose Of concilia-
ting the enemy and not for war. This
resolution announces this or nothing,
and fasters upon Mcclellan the damn

they, too, will seccde in the event of

The fourth and fifth paragraphs are
composed entirely Of corperhead roliti-

are perfectly familiar, and the cry
about the crushing Of free speech is
sufficiently refutcd by the fact that

for the single institution which has al

they constituted and still constitute a

"A Sion OF THE TIMEs.-Mr. A. Morton, the emi-
pent manufacturer of Gold Pens, has at length been
compcllcd nv tho continual advance in nominal val
ues caused by the imitation of Currency, to advance
tho prices Of his goods. He has stool out through
months mourning heavy losses in tho hope that
the end of the War would speedily enable him to
boast that he had sold his Pens throughout at Peace
prices; but he gives notice to-day that he can stand
out no longer, and must henceforth charge enough
for his goods to cover their cost -'
This is termed advance in prices but not quite
accurately Every farmer can buy one, Dozen or a
hundred Of Morton's Pens tor less Produce, every
manufacturer for less Cloth, every workman for less
Labor than In 1860. 1t Is simply REIMBURSEMENT OF

interest TO buy any than to sell goods for less

"This eminent manufacturer has so fur resisted the
temptation to raise the prices Of his manufactures
but the recent prodigous rise in gold prevents him
