Capture Of the Railroad Robbers.

Last Monday morning We published an ac-
count OF the doings of gang of -desperadoes
on the Nashville Railroad who threw n train
OF the track and then robbed the passengers
The Louisville sJoWrnukof the 18th prints an
account OF the capture OF part of the gapga
their arrival ut Louisville. Que of the party,
Stephen Conwcll. young man of about 20,
made full confession. He says that two
men, residing near Franklin, named King
and Finn. conceived the idea. These men
sought allies. and got ten men beside negro,
whoproved ii leading spirit in the whole af-
fair. The party met ut mill about four
milestrom Franklin, where they matured their
plans. They then rode down towards the
railroad. which Que of them proposed to stop
Mt COnwelIs house until he could burrow his
pistols. COnwell refused to loan his pistols
ana was anxiOus-to know what was going on.
Finally they urged him to 60 alung, telling
him the whole plan. He accompanied them
to the place on the road where it was agreed
that the Track should be torn up. Here the
negro showed them how to pry up the track,
and they forced the rail on one side out, but
had not time to remove the other, when they
heard the train approac ching. So they pi ed
some loose rails on rhe track, and moved back
about three hundred yards to await the train
COnwell says that the train thnndercd along
in the darkness at full speed. and when it
struck the rails on the track it seemed to him
. as though it jumped fifty feet. Then he
wished that he was safe home. AS som as
the locomotive rolled down tho bank. the
gang rushed up beside the cars and fired,
each man shot up in the air. They had
agreed to do this to fri2hfeu the passengers,
AID if any one returned the fire they were to
shoot into the train. No. one fred, and the
men entered the cars; leaving two men and
the negro outside us guard while they rob
bed the passengers. AS soon as they had
finished this they started for the express car,
but found that the Car had fallen on its side,
and that the only open door was on the I'M
der side Bef"re they could force the other
door open the whole car was on fire. They
then riled the baggage car of what they could
carry. mounted their horses aud rode off four
miles, when they stopped, plundered the bag
gpge that they had and divided the spoils-
Conwel says that when the division was made
each man fad ,sl1 in money. They then dis
Icr.ed, each going to his home.

A DESERVING MEcuANIc.-We refer
with pleasure to the advertisement to be found
in our paper of TO day Of Mr.. julius C.
HOLMES, as contractor, carpcnter,&c Though
comparatively young man, be. has had much
experience in the line of his profession, and
we are assured that his good taste, tact and
skill in designing is nlyequalled by the per-
severance and industry he manifests in exc
cution. or the recent improvements made,
III our town; none We think are more descrv-
ing OF mention than recent addition made
to the property of Mr. G. W. SPOTS. 1t was
the design aud work of Mr. H. throughout
and gives more room and furnishes nicer
appearance to the house, than treble the
amount would have done otherwise expended
Though old things have passed away, it may
not be amiss to state that Mr.. H. was gall
liant soldier from My Maryland" through the
the war, and in the way of dangers overcome
and deprivutions audimprisonments suffered,
he had his full share, as many of his fellows
in distress now in our midst, will abundantly
testify.

ADVICE TO our TAXPAYERS.

The time for the collection Of taxes has
again rolled rouud-if indeed there ever is.
any time when taxes are not being collected.
The Sheriff of this county has notified the
people that the taxes for the current year are
now due, and must be paid. The State of
West Virginia, or rather its corrupt officials
arc ever in need Of money, and are indisposed
to show any mercy to our already heavily buy>
thened people.
A year ago We earnestly urged the PEOPLE
not to pay any taxes whatever to the State Of
West Virginia-basing that advice upon the
strong conviction that the county does not
belong to that State and, therefore, its citizens
were not legally bound to pay any assessments
made for the purposes of the State. In that
opinion We were sustained by every lawyer, Of
any sort of standing, who had taken the
trouble to investigate the status of Jefferson
and Berkeley. Judge Curtis, an cx Justice
of the Federal Supreme Court, after careful
review of all the points involved in the mat
ter, has expressed the same opinion, and is
confident that it will be fully endorsed by
that high court. We, therefore, again urge
upon our tax payers the propriety of refusing
to pay any more taxes to West Virginia; and
for the purpose of contesting the action Of
the Sheriff, we would suggest that as many
as possible of those whose taxes are the heavi-
est, band together, and make test case for
the courts to act upon. Judge Hall will not
have the case before him; it will go to the
United States court for this district, oyer
which Judge jackson oficiates, and we know
him to be as much above party handling as
any man in the land. He is "not only pure,
but beyond suspicion" and will decide the
case upon the law, and not upon outside in
fueuces. Let our people, then, take deter
mined stand against this West Virginia OPP
preston, and unite for the purpose of secu>
ring judicial ipterpOsitiOn against any further
continuance of it. We are abundantly salts
fed that TIE law and facts are so strongly
against the claims of Governor Foreman, that
the court will enjoin the Sheriff of this county
TO stay his hand.

LOCAL MISOEIIANY.

A NECESSITY think our corporation
authorities should at oace devise some means
looking to the protection of the town from
the risks Of FIRE. Should fire break out in
the town, during the prevalence of high
wind, there is not. so far as we are advised, a
fire bucket or foot of hose, to be used in
stnyins its progress. Is it not Important that
this matter should be Immediately looked
-into3 There are many old ailapida,cd build
ings, now occupied as Publications of freed-
men and their families, where are grouped
together those who are noted for their care
lcssRess and disregard for the security of
property. a fire originating in one of these
hovcls might terminate in confugration
which would wrap the best portions of the
town in flames. Property holders and bust
ness men especially, should give theiriufiueucc
to the organization Of an efficient fire m.
pany, and provide it with suitable apparatus
for combating the destroyer should an emer>
gency arise. We appeal to our authorities
and our citizens to consider this matter.

the Cabinet meeting on the 22d, additional
instructions to General Sherman and Minis
ter Campbell, were forwarded in. cypher by
telegraph to New Orleans, with orders to for
ward them without delay to Gen Sherman

Paris considerably complicated the Mexican
question: aud may lead to the most important
results.
