The New BosToN SAFE RoBBERY--AR-
REST OF THE SUPPOSED RoBBERs.- Our
readers will remember that we gave an ac-
count of the taking of a safe from the store
of Warner l. Grouse, in New Boston, on
Thursday night, the lst instant. Since then
we have received the New Boston Herald,
which gives a more detailed account of the
matter, and says ''the safe weighed some
1000 pounds, and was run on its feet some
fifteen feet around counter, then moved
end over end ON a web of denims, rolled into
Burlinghims' butcher wagon, which had
been drawn around from their stable, distant
some thirty rods or more, conveyed thus to
the foot of Main street, rolled down TO the
waters edge and run off in skif. 1t con-
tanned some $1400 in cash belonging to diff
ferent parties, $275 of which were the hard
earnings of Ed. Stevens; a large lot of val
liable papers, such as receipts, notes, mort
cages, deeds, &c.- as Mr.. Warner is and has
for years been a justice of the peace. Also
two note cases and two pocket books"
The Herald also says, "all the papers re-
ferring to the unsettled business of d. g.
Blue were in the safe. Jonas Blixt and A.
Larance also lost valuable papers. A dis
puted contract now under litigation between
j. Alyea and VIM. Miller, is placed beyond
reach of the circuit court, and various other
claims summarily cancelled" e.szz
The robbery took place about o'clock
in the morning, and the Herald says, just at
this time, "a light wagon was heard by some
and seen by others to pass down Main street
towards the river, drawn by one man and
pushed by another. The steamer Hawkeye,
downward bound, reached our landing just
at this time, and, this circumstance iulled
suspicion as to the character of the transac-
ton, the supposision being that it was a
hasty resort for reaching the boat with a
small quantity of freight Such at least was
the impression of Mrs. Ed. Stevens, who saw
them distinctly while yet in front of the
plundered store. A. J. Hallowel, boat agent,
also saw them, but suspected nothing
wrong" ag
This morning Tuesday the 6th) Sheriff
Barry, of Mercer county, arrived in this city,
on the steamer New Boston, with three men
in charge, who were arrested on an island
about two miles above New Boston, and, af-
ter being examined, were each held for trial,
in the sum of $4,000, in default of which
they we're committed to our jail, to await
their trial at Aledo, in September.
The report is that the safe was found some
miles below New Boston, on the shore, brok-
en- open, the money missing, but the papers
not injured.
9 The arrest of these three men is said to
have been caused by the conversation of one
of them with traveller, who Judged him to
be a hard character and cautioned persons
| in New Boston to watch him.
We visited the jail and saw the men,
| One of them gave his name as Abraham
Ross, residence Ohio, and answered all the
| Questions we asked him. Another gave hi
name as Charles Dalton, residence iGncin
matt, and appeared like . civil, decent, man
The other is surly, ugly looking brute
who, when we asked his residence, snarles
out "You,n find it ON the mittimus if 20,
want to know" ~

fion Called In Virginia.
NEW YORK, November S.-The Tri-
bnne's Washington special says: 1t has
been announced that the President Is
engaged on his message to Congress, TO
be presented on an early day OF the ses-
sion ON the 2lst inst. This announce
ment does not appear to have any valid
foundation. There is good reason for
saving that Mr.. johnson has not COM
menced the preparation of such . mes
sage, and that it is not settled that he
viii communicate to Congress informa.
ton of the state of the Union, at ell
events until some time during the reg
ular or December session. 1t should be
borne in mind that the November ses-
sion can last but eleven days, including
Sundays, and that there will be but
nine working days before the regular
constitutional December session COM
mences.
The Presidents organ here will con-
tain an editorial article calling on
Grant to define his position, and state
if he be Radical or Conservative. This
article is understood to be prompted by
johnson, who is taking lively interest
in the next Presidency, and openly an
nounces himself decidedly against
Grant.
The report of General Grant in an
swer to the inquiry of the President as
TO what number of troops are stationed
within the department of Washington,
shows that the whole force amounts to
but little over 1900 men, all told, in the
States of Maryland and Delaware, the
District of Columbia and two counties
in Virginia.
The Times special says the proceed
ings against General SchOtield to test
the legality of the election in Virginia
have ended in smoke. 1t was simply
an effort for notoriety by Richmond
lawyer, but he proved to be very briel
candle.
The Herald's Washington special
says: The regular force of the Depart
ment OF Washington, now under com
mand of General Emery, is considered
inadequate for the protection OF puDll(
stores, and will be increased so thai
they may be ready for any emergency
growing out of Congressional usurpa
ton or negro disaffectiOn.
The President, it is said. still believes
that the Radicals intend his deposition
and impeachment.
General Sherman, Oh his arrival, will
probably take the command of the De
partment of Washington.
The Executive Committee of the Con,
sentative party of Virginia have called
State Convention, to meet on the lltt
of December, to effect an organization
throughout the State. The call is is
sued in response to the wish of the press
and people of the State. There is ne
doubt it will be responded to by the
people of the entire State, and the very
best men will be sent up as delegates
and an organization effected which will
successfully oppose the Hunnicutt Rad
icals.
General Grant, on having Forney':
editorial shown MIN, disapproved o.
portions of it, and said he had not au
thOrized the editor to speak for him.
