Italy and England have been very near having q

after waiting In vain for Eve hours the commander

are, Louis Weld, George Miller and Jake
Shopbtt. Miller was taken ut S9gertown,
Penn, and Weld and Shopbitt at Akron,
O. Two Others were captured In fhlladel-
phia, and will be lodged in Franklin jail.
The three whose names are mentioned
above have confessed to their participation
in the robbery, and informed on those VINO
were connected with them. The principal
one-Jim Seger-has not yet been captured,

Some of the money has been recovered,
and certificates of deposit secured. The

money in real estate and other property.
Weld had purchased hotel at Akron, Ohio,
paving $4,000 for it, and another had pur-
chased large iarm,
The reward offered for the arrest OF these

Il0rses in battle.

Mr.. KinglaSe, in one of the new volumes
of The Invasion of the Crimea," says of
horses on the battle. field:
The extent to which charger can ap-
prehend the perils Of a battlefield may be
easily underrated by one who confines his
! observation to horses still carrying their
riders; for as long as q troop-horse in action
feels the weight and hand of n master, his
deep trust in man keeps him seemingly free
from great terror, and he goes through the
fight, unless wounded, as though it were Il
tieldd day ct home; but the moment that
death or disabling wound deprives him of
his rider, he seems all ut once to learn what
battle is-to perceive its real dangers with
the cearness of a human being, and to be
agonized with horror of the fate he may
incur for want of hand to guide him.
Careless of the mere thundcrS OF guns, he
shows plainly enough that he more or less
knows the dread accent that is used by mis-
sles of war whilst cutting their way through
the air for as often as these sounds disclose
to him the near passage of bullet or round
shot, he shrinks and oringes. His eyebslls
prntrude; wild with fright, he still does
not most commonly gallop home into camp.
His instinct seems rather to tell him that
what safety, if any, there is for him must be
| found in the ranks; aud he rushes at the
first SO uadron he can find, urging piteously
yet with violence that be too by right is a
troop horse that he too is willing to charge,
but not to be left behind that he must and
he will fall in Sometimes riderIess
charger thus bent on aligning with his fell
lows will not be content to range himself on
the flank of the line, but dart at some point
in the squadron which he seemingly judges
! to be his own rightful place, and strive to
force himself in. Riding, as it is usual for
the commando: of regiment to do, some
way in advance of his regiment, Lord George
Parget was especially tOrmented and pressed
by the riderless horses which chose to turn
round and align with him. At one time
there were three or four of these horses ad-
vancing close abreast of him on one side,
and as many az i've OF, the other. lmpelled
by terror, by gregarious instinct, and by
their habit of ranging in line, they So closed
in upon Lord George as to besmear his over
alls with blood from the CORY flanks of the
nearest intruders, and obliged him to use his
sword"

Scynour's soldiers Again.

Mr.. Wallace, Chairman of the Democratic
State Central Committee, says that Penn
sylvania owes Horatio Seymour, debt of
gratitude for his prompt aid, when her
border was attacked Two of these regi-
ments of Seymour were sent to the Cumbor-
land Valley, and their conduct in that sec
tion was exposed few weeks since by
Chambersburg correspondent. The state
mcnts made in that letter are verified by an
editorial which we find in last weeks Cham.
bersburg Repository. The writer says;
"The rights of citizens and private pro-
perty were perhaps as much respected by
them as by the rebels themselves, certainly
not more, and as for defending the border
from the enemy, it was farthest from their
thoughts. The regiments sent here arrived
on Sunday, at time when rumors were
thick that the rebel army was crossing at
Willamsport. After being hountifullv fed
by the citizens, they spent the rest of the day
in disorderiy and riotous conduct through
the town, and at evening marched two miles
South to watch the enemy. Though the
enemy did not reach ChambGrsburg until
days afterwards, the patriotic New Workers
skedaddled during the night, leaving their
camp equipage, supplies and all, seized the
cars at the depot, and the next morning
formed their line at Carlisle, with their faces
toward New York. Our citizens gathered
up their tents and baggage and returned
them, with gratitude it is true, not for theii
aid, but that they had not remained with us
longer. In November, Franklin county will
cancel the debt Of gratitude she owes 20 the

1.-Two solutions were necessary for the
settlement of the Rebellion. Tie first was
to take away from it its military strength.
That was done at Appomattox. The second,
to take away its political strength. That
will be done next November. 1t will be a
short campaign, but as decisive as Appo-
