Business in the South.

The Savannah Republican says that for
the past twelve months the business Of
that city, especially that connected with
the shipping, has increased to an extent
that is truly surprising, 1t urges an i'm
mediate immigration from the North as
the main hope Of the South. The prac-
teal say Of rcgeneratins it throughout is
for cntcrrrising men, who are neither
ashamed or afraid of labor, to take hold
earnestly to assist it to recover its io,mcr
prosperity.
A company Of capitalists from Carlisle
Pennsylvania, have bought 1880 acres
Of timbcrcl land in Rockingham and
Augusta counties, Virginia.
Charleston now has two National
Banks, and four regular line Of s'ca-

An Excessive Rsbbery-S20, 600

a daring robbery was porpctratcl at
Mound City, on Tuesday night last, by
some parties, who as yet remain undis-
covered, Of some $50, 900, which was ia. &.
ken out Of the safe belonging to the pay.
master Of the station, Maj. Spaulding.
Assistant Paymastcr, Henry, at about
4 o'clock Thursday evening, locked the
SAFE and deposited tho keys in the draw.
ers ofa secretary, securing tho same.
At : o'clock on Friday morning, the
porter awakened Maj. Spaulding with
the information that he had found un.
der tho safo package of money, which
hul evidently been dropped by the
thieves in their hurry to get away. This
news aroused Maj. Spaulding, who upon
arriving at the Office, found that somo
S20, 900 had been abstracted from it; aud
that it had been left unlocked. The
keys OF tho safe, it seems, had bced taken
from the drawer Of tue Secretary, where
they had been placed the night previous,
and then the rascals had an easy job OF
efFccting the robbery.-Cairo Democrat

Save YOur Money,

There has probably never been pc

money was more pleuty with the middle
and lower classes than now. Everybody
has some money, or can easily obtain it
by labor. Employment is to be had ev-
crywhcre, especially in the West, at re-
muncrative wages. Now it becomes per.
sons Of small means and of uncertain in.

If this Bureau does not too seriously

source Of strife and trouble. In some
localities it is managed by moderate and
intelligent officers. As an example Of
tho manner in which it is controlled in
other localities, l add story which I
heard in Des Arc the other day:
