WAsHINGToS, Feb. 19.-It is known
that, ON Saturday, Gen. Grant refused to
revoke the order suppressing the Rich.
mond Examiner, expressing himself in
decided terms against the publication of
certain class Of articles in Southern
papers, as calculated to do irrepareble
mischief On Tuesday, however, Mr..
Pollard was officially informed by an
officer of Gen. Grants staff, that the or
der would be revoked The course of
that paper win be, in future, less liable
to objection. Gen. Grant will, however,
take care that no newspaperG shall be
published containing sentiments of dis
loyalty and hostility to the Government,
In any of its branches. The persisted
publication of articles calculated to keep
up feelings Of hostility between the diff
ferent sections of the country, will be no
longer tolerated. A circular to this
effect, dated Saturday, is addressed to
the Department Commanders, who are
required to give such information with
view to the suppression of papers of
that character There is no distinction
as to North or South. "

BSr The Connecticut Union State
Convention was the largest and most
enthusiastic ever held in the State for
years. Prudence and wisdom guided
the deliberations of those participating
in its proceedings. In speaking Of it
the New York Tribune says:
OF the resolutions nobody, we think,
can complain. They give a pledge Of
support to the President in his labors
for just, complete, and permanent
restoration Of the Union," to which we
all can certainly agree while they re-
cognize in the Union majority of Con-
gress 1.-THE true and tried defenders of
the principles of constitutional liberty
and order" in whom they repose with
entire confidence for the settlement of
questions belonging to the legislative
department Of the Government. Upon
this division of the word of truth there
can be no reasonable criticism. The
Convention evidently weighed its words
and said just what it meant. 3
There is no universal suffrage
plank in the Connecticut Union plat
form. 51 a4 A

emanating from Gen. Grant for the sup
preston of the Richmond Examiner, it
10 said, will not be the only one of a
similar character if the present course
OF rebel journals is not changed. 1t is
notorious that many journals in the
South are as bold and defiant in treas

the war. General Grant is said to be
determined to put stop to this firing
of the Southern heart.
If the influence of the Vincennes Sun
was in proportion to its malignancy it

BoLp RoBBERY.-We are informed Of
one Of the boldest robberies, perhaps,
ever recorded. Sometime since, two
men hired a room near the Adams Ex-
press office in St. Louis, and set up some
sort of an office. On the door, was q
card bearing the name, q. C. Javis-in
the style of an office card. One of the
parties then visited Alton, Ills, from
which point he expressed a package of
money directed 10 Fl. c. JAWS, st. Louis.
giving number of building, room, &c.
When the agent started out to deliver
money packages, as is usual in all cities,
seeing that the one referred to was
nearest to be delivered, he did not put
it in the earpet-sack or satchel used for
such purposes, but carried it in his hand
directly up to the office referred to. On
gaining admittance to the room, ne in
quired for the person to whom the pack
age was addressed, and being answered
that be was at the right place, he pro-
ceeded to deliver the package At once
the door was closed behind him and be
was choked and gagged, and his hand
sachel rified of its contents, amounting
to about $40, ,OO0-except a few thou

The parties made their escape and had
not been detected when our informant left

communicated to friend, by Lit. Col.

FATAL AFFRAY.-On the 2lst inst,
after the exhibition of Dan. Rice's
Show at Wilcox, some three or four
railroad employees made an attack on
Elijah Darrell, the engineer of the grav-
el train locomotive, and he, in self.de.
fence, knocked two of them down imme-
diately, aud then Knocked down a third
and jumped upon his chest, bursting the
blood vessels, and causing death in about
thirty minutes. From what we could
learn of the affair, Darrell acted purely
in self'defence, and it is due to him to
say that he has the reputation of being
. sober, orderly and we'll disposed man.
He gave himself up Immediately after
to the Justice, who let him 90 on his
own recognizance to appear when called
on. An inquest was held over the BODY
and the verdict was I" that James Car
