ERRATUM-In the article, "IruSt
not Appearances" in our last ISSUE
the following sentence occurs' nat
avail "love-tinctured lips and tr"sS-
es like the morn," it the former give
utterance only to vapid and sense
less nothings, and the latter shadow
a beam deformed by sullennesS ana
discomfort" Instead of "beam,"
read "broac" The error was so APP
parent that we suppose the most
casual reader corrected 1t.
This, we believe, was the only er'

was so plain and elegant that this
one was inexchsable. We Will EN-

ng- Macon papers are terribly DIS
tressed, because an old merchant OF
that city shared his umbrella with
mulatto during a rain storm the 9th
er day. The woman was formerly
his slave.
The above item is from MissiS-
sippi exchange. 1t reads very much
like it originated with some Yankee
radical sheet. The conduct OF the
" old merchant " was certainly rep
rehensiblo-a step in the direction OF
social equality and miscegenatIon'
IF his feelings for his former slave
we're so tender that he could moi
bear to see her in the rain, he shonlt
have surrendered her his umbrella
and taken the rain HIMSELF Nehop'
the papers OF Macon will continue t.
give him gosS.

capes Of the "Modern Jack Sheppard

exploit of his which was performed about
the let Of June, 1864. About that time
be stole a horse from John Nelson, resid-
iEg On Alum creek, and sold him ia New
ark, Ohio, to David Thomas. It was soon
found out that the horse was stolen, and
the officers Of the law were soon put upon
the track Of the thief. Officers White and
Coffroth having learned the facts succeed
ed in arresting Shoemaker, but learning
that he had jumped the bounty, they de-
livered him to Major Skiles, at Tod Bar
racks, to be forwarded to the front. Our
account of him the other day relates what
happened afterwards.
Mr.. Thomas, hearing of the return Of
the thief who sold him the horse, took out
a States warrant, and placed it in the
hands of Officer Griffith, of Newark, who
proceeded to this city, in search of Shoe
maker.
Yesterday morning being "market

deavoring to sell his mothers spring
wagon and mare, when Billy Domiean
pointed him out to Griffith and he was ar
rested, and started with the officer for
Newark. If he does not succeed in break
