RoDBERY.-We understand that party
of three robbers visited the neighborhood
of Jacksonville, in this county, on Sunday
night last, and committed several petty
robberies. They took two saddles from
Mr.. Stgall, and some clothing from Mr..
Phipps. As there is no military force in
the country, ii is expected that the civil
officers will be unusually active in their
efforts TO bring these rascals to JUSTICE

A letter from New York says many Of
the Wall street Spectators are uneasy at
the possible success of the Atlantic tele-

They say that "if the thing works, it will
open up wide field for ruinous combina-
lions" and 'throw the greater portion of the
business Of the street into the hands of the
wealthy few" At the rate Of dollar a

municalion with those two great financial
centres, they will be all the while at the

LAUNCH OF THE DUNDERDERG.-The
great naval event Of the age-the launch of
the Dunderberg- place on Saturday
morning at nine o'clock in the presence of
at least twenty-five thousand spectators,
who filled the yard crowded the house tops,
were perched on the rigging of the ship
ping, and lined the shores OH both sides of
the East River for long distance. Near.
ly 1000 persons were on board when she
was launched. The Dunderberg entered
the water in manner surprising to every
body oonversant with launches. She cut
the water like knife, and did not raise a
swell of foot in hight. This proves how
beautiful are her lines, and faultless her
form. As the vessel reached the water
she was closely followed by five large and
checking her by means of two large haw-
sers, but before she was drought to" she
was quite close to the Long Island shore.
No accident Of the most triiiing character
occurred sand in less than an hour fronlthe
time she started from her cradle in New
York she had crossed the East River twice
and was at her berth safe and sound as a
nut. The Dunderberg is a sea-going IRON
clad frigate ram Of abut 5000 tons regis
ter, 5000 horse power, and TO carry an
armament of four Is inch Rodman, and four
teen ll-inch Dahlgren guns. With these
! few facts before us we will be able 10 com :
prehend, in some small degree, the magni-
tude Of the vessel as well as the enormous
power Of her heavy armament, which numer-
ically in caliber has no equal in the history
of naval architecture and ordnance. Her
principal dimensions and features are as
follows :-Extreme length $50 feet; ex
treme beam 72 feet 10 inches; depth OF hold
% feet 7 inches; height of oasemate Z feet
8 inches; length of ram bow 80 feet; draft
when ready for sea, 81 feet; displacement
1000 tons; tonnage 5000 tons; weight o.
iron armor 900 tons. 1t will he severa
months before the Dunderberg will be ready
for service, now that we have no pressing
need of her, but should her services bC
required it would not take long 10 fit hel
out for actual duty. In her we have truly
great ship, one that has perhaps no equa
in the world.-[N. Y. Observer.

Of the first effects Of the revolution il must
create in the newspaper business will be
to increase their prices. The enormous

agreed TO advance their prices one half, just
as soon as the telegraph begins to send on
