BuEGLARIoUs ATTENPT-Last Wednesday night al
unsuccessful attempt was made to rob the vault of thu
banking house Of johnson s DUR, of this place
From all appearance the burglar entered the building
from Market street while Mr.. Durr's family were at
supper and secreted himself under the stairs leading
to the second story, until he thought all the family
had retired when, by means of a skeleton key, he
entered the banking room, in which is the vault. FL
must then have unlocked and unbared the front door
and left it very little open, probably to facilitate biz
escape in case Of alarm. Mr.. Charles DUR, whose
suspicious were aroused by hearing a noise IN the
room as he was going up stairs returned and passed
around to the front door and down on the steps,
He perceived at once that the door was aar and push.
ing against it, he felt pressure from the inside which
satisfied him that some body was inside. He immcdi-
stey remarked aloud that that door was all right, and
went the street for assistance, but before it
arrived the robbeF rushed out of the door and ran
down Milan street to the levee, where he disappeared
Although the thief must have been in the bank up
wards Of two hours he did succeed in getting into
the vault and there nothing outside Of it for him
TO get. Had he have known the nature of the gault
and its FIVE complicated locks, burgarproof depart
ment &c, he never would have made the attempt
We do not believe the most adroit burglar in the
country could get into the cash deposits Of that vault
in a month.

THE PEACE PRoeLAMATIoN.-The well informed
Washington correspondent of the New Orleans Plea

have grown bold that they have even dared to take
steps to nulfy the recent peace proclamation Of the
president. Orders have been issued at the war de-
partment, to the effect that martial law is still in force
in the southern States; and the notorious judge I'm
derwood has decided that the habeas corpus has not
yet been restored in those States The president will
soon convince these reckless that they have gone
n step too far. The effect of the proclamation is to
put an end to martial law wherever it prevailed in
the south. And regards the habeas corpus the
proclamation expressly rectes that its suspension
only to continue while the war lasted. The writ is
now restored in all the southern States except Texas
