TINS L.rr Fxpnrss RonprnY AT DREs-

Tur LATE ExPnEss RoBBERY AT DRRs-
Drs.--In the published accounts Of the
arrest Of the man who recently robbed
the safe of the Southern Express Com
pauy at Dresden, Tenn, have, by ap act
Of omission, done injustice to the officer
who was solely Instrumental in accom-
plishing the capture of the robber. II
seems that the guilty party reached
Louisville in advance of any in formation
relative to the crime. He was roughly
dressed, and bore every appearance OF
one belonging to the laboring class. AT
the Louisville Hotel he was seen by Capt.
Bligh, of the detective force Of that city,
who, with an eye to everything passing,
was surprised to see man Of that class
and in that garb registered at frst-class
hotel. The fact led him to notice the
man carefully, aud his attention was
more closely drawn shortly aiterward by
the fact that the object of his solicitude
showed quite a sum Of money in making
change for something. Captain Bligh
now suspected that the stranger was not
" all right" and learned that he had just
arrived from the South. After supper
the stranger left the hotel, Bligh follow
ing at a convenient distance. He traced
him into several saloons and places OF
amusements, and observed that at each
money was lavished recklessly. The
next morning he learned that the same
individual had expressed Sl4OO to some
one in Philadelphia. Captain Bligh was
now positive in his own mind that he had
been watching rogue, and determined
to arrest him, satisfied information would
soon arrive Of some robbery. he &C
cordingly nabbed the rough-looking
spendthrift, and telegraphed over the
lines to ascertain whether a robbery had
been committed. About the time the
prisoners attorney was preparing to eff
feet release on writ of habeaS corpus
Capt Bligh was notified that the Office
of the Southern Express Company at
Dresden had been robbed. He at once
telegraphed that he had caught man
who was doubtless the robber. This put
a quietus on the habeas corpus proceed
ings, and the following day requsition
arrived from Gov. Brownlow. The Cap
tain Barmore mentioned in the accounts
already given, is the officer to whom the
prisoner was surrendered, but the credit
of the whole affair is due Capt Bligh,
whose anxiety to serve the ends of JUS
tice led him to arrest a man on suspi-
cion of crime of which he had not even
heard, confident from his knowledge of
human nature that the rough customer
encountered at the hotel was fugitive
from justice. This affair greatly re.
bounds to the credit of Capt. Bligh, whom
we understand to be as honest as he is
shrewd and vigilant.

evening, in regard to the tragic end of
the late Edwin H. Dashiell, Jr.? The
deceased was not a young man OF DISCO

was in somewhat delicate health;

deeply afflicted relatives. There had

exceedingly that this additional pang
should have been inflicted through the
inadvertance of your reporter. Very
