Railroad Robbery.

Baltimore, Feb. Is.
A morning paper publishes the follow
ing:
The express passenger train which left
Camden street depot Thursday night for
Wheeling and intermediate points, was
captured BY company of rebels near
kearneysvlle Depot, about eight miles
west of Harper's Ferry. The train was
then surrounded by the rebels and num-
Der of armed men entered the cars. The
passengers, among whom of course there
was great CONSERVATION, we're more or less
mulcted in the shape of ransoms. Some
produced greepbacks. others watches, dia.
monds, rings, &C., as equivalents Tor their
liberty. We are informed by one Of the
sufferers who returned to this city by the
express train yesterday noon, that the
aggregate amount of money taken from
the passengers was not less than $50, 600,
while The value of the jeweiry was also
large. Conductor Perry, who had charge
of the train, was compelled to hand over
check for four thousand dollars, the
property of the Company. A number of
the passengers who arrived here yester-
day had interviews with some OF the pas
sengers of the captured train, and their
statements widely differed, both as to the
amount of money, de-. conhscated, and
the character of the raiders. 1t is said
that Major Harry Gilmore, Of the rebel
cavalry, was in command of the expedi-
ton. No one was injured, nor was there
the least disposition on the part Of the
raiders to take any prisoners.
Several members Of the MARYLAND Leg
islature, delegates from the western coun-
ties. were among the passengers.
After accomplishing their purpose they
ran the locomotive and tender of the
track, causing some injury to the engine

All the trains were running as usual
yesterday afternoon.

gers was very general, not one of them
having escaped One man is said to
have lost over $4,000 in greenbacks. The
passengers made no resistance, surprising

paying him eI8 per month, md for
placing him on I footing With the other
soldiers. II We were going back 70 pay
these colored troops from Massachusetts,
&C.. Why not pay those from Tennessee.
He was informed there were some thirty
regiments Of these troops there. He
thought there Was trouble in the future
to Be apprebended from making this bill
retrospsctive in character. He synps-
thized with the gallant and patriotic
young men Of the 9th and 55th Massa-
chusetts colored troops, but he could not
help believing 1t was on account Of
their action that the colored men Of South
Carolina regiments refused to receive
their pay.
Mr.. Cowan said if We were going back
for these colored men he was also 10 favor
of going back in favor Of white men who
were our earliest volunteers and had borne
the heaviest burden of the day. He was
not in favor of overriding the statute to
DO justice to those negro troops until
equal and exact justice had been done to
the veteran white soldiers. When the
country should be restored to its wonted
prosperity We could do justice to all. Now
it is exceedingly dangerous.
The amendment Of Wilson was then
adopted.
The amendment of Doolttle providing
that from the monthly pay Of colored
troops mustered into the service in insur-
rectiondfy districts the sum of three dol.
lars per month shall be reserved to REIN
burse The expenses incurred by the Uuited
States in feeding and clothing the wild.
ows, children and parents of deceased col
ored troops.
This was rejected.
After some debate Sumner proposed q
proviso that in all cases of past services
OF colored troops where it shall appear to
the satisfaction of the Secretary OF War,
from actual papers Of enlistment, that the
troops were enlisted under the act of July,
1861, they shall be allowed the pay prom
ised BY that act.
This was rejected By ayes 16, nays
FL.
Cowan offered . substitute for the bill
as amended, that from and after the pass
age of this act all soldiers of the United
States of the same arm Of the service shall
receive like compensation.
Cowan supported his amendment at
some lenghth. claiming the negro as q
citizen under the constitutions, As he re-
ceived the protection of the laws.
Salisbury said if that was the basis Of
Senator Cowan's substitute, j, was abhor-
rent to bis (saulsbury's) views, and be
would not support it. The old fashion
ed term was negro" but now they were
'colored citizens"
Howe would ask il the negroes were
not eolored in Delaware.
Salisbury doubted If they were as col.
ored in Delaware as they were in some
other places. He would never consent "a
equality, either politically or socially. with
the negro.
Cowan asserted that the negro had a
legal status under the constitution which
protected him.
Pending action on the amendment oil
Cowan the Senate adjourned.
