H1aBwAY RoBDERY.-We learn that On investi-
CATION of case OF highway robbery was held be-.
fore Justice Taylor, on Wednesday, last. We were
not present at the investigation, but the facts OF
the case, as VIC have since learned them, are as
follows
About two months and q half ago, freedman
residing on the Sound, while on his way to his
home from the city, was attackedby two other
freedmen, noar Camp Whiting, who evidently be-
longod to a gang. with their rendezvous near the
scene Of the transaction, and one Of them present.
ing q pistol to his head demanded the delivery OF
his money and other possessions
The freedman attacked complied with the de-
mRnd, and delivered to his assailants sl5 cur
rency, and tho articles he had purchased while in
the city He was then allowed to proceed on his
way, but had made but very little progress when
he was fred ut and had portion OF his coat shot
away.
Search was afterwards made for the highway
men, but all attempts to discover them were fruit
less, until few days since, when one of the party
was arrested, and an examination entered into.
This negro gave his name as Augustus Williams,
and was recognized as ono OF the hlghWaymen by
the victim OF their assault.
His identity being clearly established, he was
committed to JAIL to await his trial at the next
term Of the Superior Court.-Ws Wilmington Journal
Report has it that the murderer OF John A.
Cutchin has been detected and arrested. The
rumor is probably false.
At Halifax it was thought an effort would be
made to rescue Dick Thompson, the horse thief,
from jail. Is this Raleigh's Dick, who left here
some time ago rather suddenly? He was arrested
in Brunswick county, Va, having in his posses
sion u horse stolen from the children OF Mr. WIN.
Boseman. Thompson was working as painter
for Mr. Drumgod, with whom he Ind engaged
pasturage for the horse. Having worked for this
gentleman for some time previous to the commits
sion of the theft, and conducted himself in ire
proaohable manner, entire confidence was placed
in his statements The thief WAS brought to
Weldon on Saturday last by Messrs. 3. W. Spill
man and H. P. PHILIPPE, and was lodged in the
county Jail on Sunday.

as did the former bridge, it will be in its stately
prime when those who cross it now have passed
over tho streams of death.
