a GANG OF THIEVES BROKEN UP.-Within
the last few days the Macon police have ar
rested two Of o gang of negro ban dts, organ
lied in that city about three years ago, for the
sole purpose Of conducting q general robbing,
thieving and plundering business in Georgia
and neighboring States. Five of the gang
have been arrested within the last few months.
Their names are hob Wagnon, Levi Shepherd,
Willis Brown, Burwen Rhodes, and Henry Con-
ley, alias shep Hudglns. They have been
nearly all over the States OF Georgia and South
Carolina. and have perpetrated some OF the
blackest and most damuable crimes known to
the.crlminal code.
Burwen Rhodes, who was arrested in Ma
con, on Saturday last. acknowledges to have
stolen from jeweller in Charleston. 8. c.. ar
teen watches and a lot OF jewelry last month,
and 1t was portion OF this lot Of watches and
jewelry that was found in his possession at the
time Of his arrest. He says he sold the tal-
ance along the railroad when making his way
from Charleston to this city. He admits that
he is member OF the gang OF villains to
which we have referred, and 1t was by his com-
panlons that the poiics were advised OF the
presence in Macon OF Henry Conley, another
member Of the gang. Henry had taken tera-
porary "slt" as waiter at the SLanier House.
and as soon 90 he learned chat Colonel Gum
minRs. chief Of police, wanted to see HIM, he
bounced out at back window OF the dining
room and made f6r che swamp. Colonel q.
Immediately procured o horse. and. starting
several policemen In diffaront directions to
head on the rascal, gave him hot pursuit ON
his horse, and he was captured before he got
TO the woods. When caught he had a few
days provisions concealed about him. Henry
oace belonged to Mr.. Bart Hudgins. OF Jones
County. and is the chap that stole mule
from that gentleman last month.
The Macon Telegraph says: s'Wiley Thomas
and Lewis Travis. two more OF the gang, and
about the worst in the lot, are now figuring in
South Carolina; but it is believed that Travis
has been arrested in Charleston, and is now in
jail there for stealing fine watch. It will be
remembered that at the time of his arrest, the
captsin Off police in that city addressed q
letter to Colonel Cummings, notifying him OF
the arrest. and describing the negro and prop,
erty. Burwell Rhodes says Wiley and Lewis
are both in Charleston, and that they perpe-
trated robbery, not long since. in Aiken,

GERMAN IAAuaRATIoN.-The Sudlioher Cor
respondent, Of the 18th, has long editorial in
favor Of calling mass meeting Of Germans, to
form Gesellschaft on the principle which gov
erns similar societies in other large cities. The
objects to be gained are, first, the encourage
ment Of German immigration, and, secondly.
the full protection OF the IMMIGRANT from all
harpies, and to furnish him with steady and
suitable employment. Though the new regime
boasts OF an immigration and agricultural bu-
reau, it's operations have been confined TO talk
ing and writing. The Germans Of this city
form large aud influential class OF tn, COM
munity. and as any action taken by them can
but result to the benefit OF the State at large.
we heartily endorse the suggestion OF our Ger
man contemporary.
