NASHVILLE. June IA.
Que Of the two German dailies In this city,
the Tennessee Journal. has ceased to be.
Starting out as somewhat independent In
ties, 1t rapidly degenezated into bitter Cop
perhead sheet, and vfrnlent enemy Of the
union party Of Tennessee. As such II rap
Idly lost both the sympathy and support Of
the German population OF the State, who,
here "a elsewhere, are nearly all devoted to
the idea Of American nationality and to the
principles Of humanity and justice which the
Union party waa formed to promote. Still.
many OF the Germans bought the Journal be-
cause for considerable time there was no
other paper In the German language printed
In this city. But, few months ago, In an
evil hour for the Journal. a bold and earuest
young German gentleman, John Ruhm, pro-
jected and broug ht ont the Tennessee .Staals
Zdsnng, which At ouco challenged public At
tentton 1s an ardent exponent Of the
radical Unioa creed. The loyal Ger
mans of Nashville hailed It's appearance
that (the .oxraal Being established in public
favor. and there being no room for moro than
ope German paper in this cItY,) the new eau.
dfd&te could not live. John Ruhm thought
aud night and day he continued
e labor, with limited patronage, and under
diseouragtng circumstances, until he had
placed hls. paper on a permanent footing.
The high tone and ability of its editorials
oegan 10 make his influence felt sr1opr hi.
His circulation daily tncreased.

Until at length, on Sunday molnine last. liz

AYfeated.

From the Kiasou,l Democrst. 18l
It vas stated In this paper several days ago
TINT Austin ". Faulk, one Of tho men arrested
at Pleasant ELL on suspicion Of being con.
cerned in the robbery Of the United States
Express messenger near that place, had been
discharged, as there WAS no PROOF against him.
This statement was made at the request OF
the police, who desired that the announce
ment should go abroad, In order to mtslead
another OF the robbers, and lead to the recov-
cry Of the money. It had the desired effect,
notTithstapdlns tt was contradicted in an
We gave the statement as 1t was given to us,
although we were satisfied that il was ruse
On the part of the police.
The Police Commissioners and tho officers
Of the Express Company acted with great
secrecy and clrcumspectlon from the iirst,
nrea merely for the sake OF an item. We
have now the full particulars of the affair,
and there Is no longer my reason for conceal
Ing them.
The robbery was planned by Edward
Thaycr, fireman on the train, who knew the
habits Of the messenger. and he engaged VIM.
Wilson and A. II. Faulk as accomplices, en-
trusting to them the execution Of the Job.
Wilson end Thayer entered the car, where, as
they expected, they found the messenger
asleep. Fautk was left Oh the outside as
lookout, and was to give the alarm In case
any. person approached. Chlorofotm was
Rssd RsS o upon Iss s,a The msaie1Eef sasgE The
pocket, the safe unlocked. and the money
packages, amounting to SCI 900, were taken
out !; After which the safe was locked aud the
key returned to the mcssenger's pocket The
fireman then returned to his post on the train,
Wilson took seat In the car, and Faulk pre-
pared to 1eare At the first stopping place.
Fortunately CAPTAIN lvers, the messenger,
awoke at the next stopping place, where the
traln halted to wood, and at once discovered
his loss. He gave the alarm, and Faulk, who
had left tbs trim with carpet sack in his
hand, was arrested BY the aher1f OF johnson
County. 1t Is alleged that Faulk WAS taken
into the woods and hung up by. the neck to
make him confess, but he refused to divulge.
All this happened on Friday,
When the agents. ofthe company here heard
to Pleasant Hfll, and that shrewd officer ar
rived on Sunday, and took charge of Faulk
and brought him to this city. He managed
to obtain i confession from Fanlk, by some
species OF wltchcrnft known only to the pro-
fessIonal fly cop. Faulk and Thayer were
held In dmnnce, but Wilson was still at l.rge.
The whole OF the money, except q small
amount taken by the robbers to pay their e1-
penses, Was found under brush heap, about
four miles from The scene OF the robbery. It
waa placed there by Wilson, who had escaped
from the train, aud afler couceallag tue sto-
len treasure, followed his companions In guilt
GrOtto saloon, on Market street. The money
Was found In the brush heap By Lieut.. Harri-
gan aud Sheriff Tlmberhke, of johnson
County. The three men were taken to Pleas
ant Hitl yesterday morning by the Sheriff.,
and win be tried for the robbery.

We are informed that the sale Of the South

n mtlsS,one1sa who to-day delivered possession

appears that the interest OF the. State
Is very stringen.ly secured. 4 fail.
the contract works forfeiture Of the road
and every portion Of It, to the State, and
gives to the Governor the right to take I'm
mediate possession Of the road without pro-
cess Of law. Besides this, the State gets
mortgage On the road securing the balance Of
all the conditions OF the contract, This
mortgage may be enforced by sale OF the
road in the ordinary mode. The ninth artf.
Gle OF the contract secures to the State lien
the precedence over all other liens and mort
gages which may be hereafter created by the
road Is to be completed to Springfield tn
two years, while the Law required The road to
be completed to Springfield In four years. In
several other respects Is the contract more
favorable to the State than the law required.
Thus, the law required the preservation Of a
lien 10 the State, only for the payment Of the
purchase money and for the expenditure Of
balfa million dollars each year. while tha
contract preserves lien to the State for
those two and all other conditions Of the con-
tract.
