remedy which, while it cures the above complaints
with certainty, is still perfectly harmless in any
quantity. Such remedy is invaluable in districts
where these affecting disorders prevail. This
"CURE" expels the miasmatic poison Of FEWER
AND AGUE from the systsm, and prevents the de-
velopment of the disease, If taken on the first ap-
proach of its premonitory symptoms. tits not only
the best remedy ever yet discovered for this class
of complaints, but also the cheapest. The large
quantity supply for dollar brings it within the
reach of every body; and in bilious districts, where
FEVER AND AGUE prevails, every body should
have it and it freely both for cure and protee-
ton. A great superiority Of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and certain
cure Of Intermttents is that it contains no Quinina
or mineral, consequently it produces no qunism or
other injurious effects whatever upon the constltu
ton. Those cured by it are left as healthy as il
they had never had the disease.

Hiring Freedmen to 20 to Ten
LcSScc.
From the Rome (Ga.) Courier, 9th.

From the Rome (Ga.) Courier, 9th.
Several gentlemen have been in our
community, recently, hiring negroes to
20 to Tennessee or elsewhere to pick
cotton. We presume this is all right,
yet must confess that there is q little
~obscurity in regard to some of these
arrangements. For instance, it is al
legged that these freedmen are wanted
for plantation work, yet these agents,
so-called, claim to be entitled to Gov
eminent transportation for them. One
of them showed Gen. Tilson's order
for transportation for an unlimited
number, us We understand, of freedmen,
over the Central Georgia and Western
h Atlantic railroads. W. can't exact
ly understand how it is that the Gov.
eminent should take so much interest
in thcsc.private enterprises. These n.
gents are not trying to get Migrants
and those dat6f employment, but all
the able bodied hands they tind-inclu-
ding women in some cases. They
have even paid the debts of hands
voluntarily, in some cases, and been
forced to it in others-in order to get
them.

Adams Express Car Entcrcd-Thc Mes
scnger Gagged-Twelve or Fifteen
Thousand Dollars Stolcn--Escapc Of the
Robbers.
From the Louisville journal 9TH inst

From the Louisville journal 9TH inst
One Of the boldcst robberies that has
been recorded since the one perpetra-
ted last summer ut st. Louis, occurred
on the train which left this city over
the Jacksonville Railroad ut 3 o'clock
p. Nj. Saturday. Just rs the train
moved from the depot at Seymour, In
diana, between six and seven o'clock
p. NJ, two men, masked and otherwise
disguised, stepped aboard and entered
the Express Company's car by the run,
board. They seized the messenger,
Mr.. Miller, gagged and securely fas-
tened him to the side Of the car, and
then proceeded to rob the safes in the
most systematic manner. Taking the
key from Mr.. Milier's pocket, the small
safe containing all the local-run money
packages from st. Louis to Cairo, to
Cincinnati, and q sealed bag from Nash
vile, was unlocked and rilcd by the
thieves; after which they pitched the
large through safe overheard, and rang
the bell for the train to stop. The
train WIS checked up, and the robbers
signalled the engineer to go ahead
again, just as they leapcd off. Every
thing seemed to favor the ncfarious
scoundrels. Their plans were con
ceivcd with the utmost precision and
executed with a boldncss Wncxampled.
The messenger was alone in the car,
and was %overpowered 50 suddenly that
no alarm could be given. No suspicion
was excited by the signals, for they were
rung as correctly rs if the conductor
himself had pulled the rope. AS soon
as the messenger could cxtricate him,
self, he rang the bell and gave the
alarm. The train was run back to the
point where the robbers jumped off,
and about sixty yards from the place
the large sealed safe was found. 1t
contained over thirty thousand dollars
in coin, Fortunately it WAS not open
ed. The villains had procured from
the other safe the key belonging to this
large one they had no time to Use the
key, and the safe WAS too heavy to han
die, so they had to abandon it. The
amount ofmohey stolen from the small
er safe was between twcl c and fifteen
thousand dollars. When the train ran
back to the place of the robbery, Mr..
Temple, the route agent, took 4 posse
of men and started in pursuit OF the
daring thieves. Superintendent Al.
fred Gather, Capt. johnson, agent,
and one and all Of the officers and en-
plovccs Of the company are using every
cxcrtion in their power to apprehcnd
the perpetrators Of this prcconccrted
and extensive robbery. A reward of
five thousand dollars is offered by the
company for the arrest and conviction
of both, OF two thousand five hundred
dollars for either Of the robbers, and
one fourth of all the money recovered.
The money stolen was in numerous
packages of small amounts, 50 that the
loss will not fall very heavily upon any
one. No m~easincss need be felt by
shippers, as the Adams Express Com
pany arc abundantly and always pre-
pared to pay.
