ARREsTED.-Two of the thieves, both col
ored, who broke into Mr. Lockhart's house
have been arrested and securely lodged in
Jail One was captured as he was getting on
the Norfolk and Petersburg Railroad cars
yesterday evening There is a third party
who was engaged in the robbery still at large,
but it is expected he will soon be nabbed-
The robbery was effected by means of
chloroform. We often wonder how the
numerous gangs of idle negroes now in our
city manage to live, but a consideration of
tne numerous robberies committed will prob
ably explain the mystery.

NORTH CAROLINA STEAMBOATS,. We learn
that the steamer I. D. Coleman, plying from
Norfolk on the waters of North Carolina,
needing repairs to her machinery and boilers,
has been sent from this place to Baltimore to
be repaired. Now this line of boats, in com.
mon with others, derive all their profits from
the freight of produce to Norfolk. and car
rying supplies back. We have several sbops
where the work can be done as we'll as in
Baltimore, and skilful workmen who aro
ready to do the job-but our mechanics are
thus sighted for the benefit of others, con-
trary to every liberal principle which should
govern enterprise and industry. We hope
such policy may not be continued. Let
our people have the work, for they are well
prepared and qualified to do it.
