Arro1STMESr.-We are pleased to be
able to announce that r. Vile, Esq, of
our town, has received from Dr. McP her
son, the Superintendent of Labor and Ag-
riculture, the appointment of State Agent
for emigration, to reside at Bremen, one

Mr.. Vile is a gentleman of decided capa-
city and great business energy and has
peculiar aptness, we think for the duties
of German emigration agency The
German is his native language and he
has quite an extensive connexlon and ac-
auaintance, we believe, in and about Bre
men, the great fqcal point Of German
emigration to the United States. From
what VIC know of the man, We are salts
fed that Nothing of honorable exertion
will be left uutried on his part to Justify
tho confidence which ha. been rcposcd IN
him By his adopted State. Mr.. Vile
will leave, We understand for Bremen at

HIGHWAY ROBBERY AND ATTgNPTED MURDER 49,
As Mr.. ;. HeusOw, well-kuOwn vegetable and
milk dealer, was proceeding 10 his home Saturday
evening, accompanied by his wife, be was ass allied
by two bghwaymen, and received iaiuries of the
most serious character. Mr. HensIog at half
past o'clock P. M, when the market closed, had
handed over the whole of his money, consider.
sbe amount, TO his wife just before they got iuto
their wagon 20 proceed 20 their home ab lut a
nile below the Long Bridge. Their usual route
was down the she'll road To Barness field, where
they took a cross path through the woods They
had hardly entered the thick uudergro With and
woods before they we're challenged aud halted by
two men, armed with guns. Mr.. HenslOw paid
no attention 20 the challenge aud started his N lie
81 n lyeller pace, when one OF the high Waymen
discharged his gun, killing the mule instantly
while the other also discharged his weapon but
failed TO do any damage.
Mrs HtnsiOw sprang from the wagon aud ran
through the woods distance of about a mile IN
her home, where she found her brother to whom
she related the circumstances. He Immediately
aroused The neighbOrhO0d, and with a strong body
OF men, thoroughly armed, proceeded to the scene
OF outrage. Upon arriving upon the ground they
found Mr.. HenslOw senseless from a severe blow
on the head. He had also received shot wound
in the side, and his arm ad been shattered by
GLOW. The mule was dead and the wagon broken
but no trace OF the perpetrators could be dts.
covered. Mr.. HenslOw was taken TO tue house of
neigbbOr, and from there was transferred yes
terday 10 the Providence lnfrmary. In this Casa
the hghwsymen had evidently missed their mark
g. Mrs. Hensow escaped with all the money Mr.
Hersow had nothing on his person with which 70
satisfy their cupidiy. and this probably accounts
for the brutal manner with which they treated
him. Mobile Register, Monday.

The J0HNsOE-GRANT CORREsPONDESCE-V Ielos
Of Ne10 York JOl1HdlS.-The Tribune, allud
ing TO the Grant-JObnson correspondence, says
Grant utterly overthrows the charge of insubor
dnatoD, and johnson comes out of the business
as one willing TO wound, yet afraid to strike.
The Herald expresses no opinion on the cores
pondence, but comes out for Grant for presi.
dent.
The Times thinks Grant may have been hasty
and inconsiderate in giving the president to 40.
derstand that he would aid him in keeping Stanton
out ard neRlecttul in not notifying the president
that he had changed his mind as TO the require.
ments Of law but, as TO his final action, there
can be no doubt OF its prOpriety.
The World REGARDS Grant "a convicted of
duplicity, and as pursuing tortuous, unmanly
course.
The Sun says: " The insidiously devised net
wherein the president and his four servitors
sought to ensnare General Grant, is utterly des-
treyed. They were wicked enough to suggest a
blow, but too cOwaTdly to strike"
The Post says the president in the matter
merely plays the scOld.
The Commercial thinks both the president and
Grant acted honestly and honorably, and regards
the conflict as one Of the miserable relies oi
radicaiism.
