CONsIDERATE HIGHWAYMEN.
$4,000.
F,o,n the clicnno 1ri6nne of 7aesdpr.


FSont The Chicago Tribune Of 7ucsdDy.
Mr.. Charles Il. Stewart, of the Helena (Mon-
tana) Herald, ard Lieutenant j. 5, Stafford,
United States army, arrived in TINS CITY yestcr-
day from Helena. From them we learn the facts
of heavy robbery perpetrated in Utah about
week ago.
The Wells q Fargo coach, which left Helena
on the 29th ult, on reaching Malade Summit,
L. r. sixty miles north of Corinne, about mid
night on the 3lst, was stopped by eight men,
closely masked. One of them Informed the pas
sengers that they need not feel disturbed, MS
there was no intention to molest them; ana
coollyasked Lieutenant Stafford, and also Major
Cullen of the Indian Bureau, for chew OF
tobacco The highwayneu then ordered the
driver to throw from the coach the treasure,
which was in care of the express company; and
he threw off one box. containing from $4,000 to
5000 in gold. A peremptOry demand was
made for the remainder OF the precious freight,
when a second box, containing $4,000 in gold,
was placed in the possession of the knights
of the road who, thereupon, saluted the pas
| sengcrs courteously. and made off with their
| spoils
| The stage reaching Corinne on the list inst,
| information of the robbery was given to the eX-
| press officials at that point: and Mr.. ID. skid
! more, paymaster OF the company immediately
| organized a considerable force OF men, and
! started in pursuit of the highwaymen-with
| what result is not yet known.
But for the courtesy of the maraudcrs they
| would have reaped much richer harvest as the
| passengers in the coach had on their persons an
aggregate of $4,000, not cent of which was
! touched.
The 'road-agents, as highwaymen are termed
| in the mountain region, were once pretty
| effectualy driven out by the energetic action of
vigilance committees; but it is believed that they
| have now reorganized in force, and numerous
! depredations are expected. unless summary JUS
| tice shall be dealt out to them.
| Mr.. Stewart comes to Chicago in the interest
of his paper, and will give to those concerned
valuable information in regard TO the trade OF
| Montana

WHISKY SEIZURES.

Work of Revenue Officers in Wilmington.
We are informed that for several weeks
United States Collector J. S. Prettyman has sus-
pected the existence of extensive frauds upon
the revenue, among certain distillers and other
manipuatOrs of whisky, doing business in this
city. Having collected evidence supposed to be
conclusive, he proceeded this morning to take
the legal measures proper in the case, and
seized the following Establishments
Distillery of Archibald Mckinley. No. lOj
West Front street.
Alcohol works of Francis Kelley, East Front
street.
Rectifying establishment of William Baxter.
Fourth and Shipley streets
Rectifying establishment of John McClaffcrty.
No 521 East Fifth street.
The frauds alleged are charged to have existed
for long time and to involve a large amount of
revenue. 1t is supposed by the officers that the
parties engaged in them were all in colluson and
acted upon the same concerted plan, and that the
Ring also embraced some Wholesale dealers.
1t is but just to state that there are honorable
dealers in this article in our city who are in no
wise implicated in these transactions, but on the
contrary aided the Collector in bringing to light
evidences of the supposed frauds. The cstab-
lishment of Mckinley is probably worth $10,OOO
or $4,000. Of the value of the other property
we are not informed. Suits will be ut once in
stituted before the United States District Court
for the forfeiture of all of them. Mckinleys dis
tillery when the revenue officers of this State
were changed by Grants administration, was in
full operation, day and night: it then ran only
in the daytime, and for some weeks suspended
entirely. Since August 2S it has again been in
operation. Its full capacity is about 800 gallons
per day.
Alexander Fulton. United States Supervisor
of the Revenue, has been in town for some days

The Paris correspondent of the London SIAN
ddrd, writing on the 2lst of August (evening) on
the Cuban revolututon subject, reports
La France says that without doubt Cuba Is
now lost to Spain. True, as a last effort, they
talk in Madrid of despatching thither 10000
men against the insurgents when the autumn
shall have destroyed the diseases that kill such
numbers of European soldiers in n tropical
climate; but this is looked upon rs n most
sterile sacrifice. Spain is therefore urged to
give Cuba its independence at once, under
the best possible conditions, without
waiting until the inhabitants conquer it for
themselves. Such is certainly the advice given
in Madrid by General Sickles, the new repre-
sentative for Washington. The American dplo-
matist is not actually instructed TO purchase
Cuba for the United States, but only to oter
their mediation for an arrangement between
Spain and the colony, the basis being as follows:
Spain to give up all rights of sovereignty over
Cuba and the latter to pay n sum in proportion
to the revenue drawn from the island by the
mother country, the United States acting as
guarantors to the treaty. La France doubts
whether the independence of Cuba under
the patronage of America is likely to
last or TO answer the purpose and
| some people are inclined to think that
| what formerly befell Texas may probably occur
! again. To prevent this it might be advisable To
| place the independence and neutrality OF Cuba
| under the collective guarantee of the United
States France, and England. On the Other
| hand, the Pdtrie announces that three important
| American dplomatists have just arrived in Paris

The Flag.

Since we wrcsted the flag from the trait
ors to the principles of American freedom
and unfoldcd it to the pure atmosphere OF
rerenerated liberty, it looks more digni-
fed and serene to us all. Alas, poor flag,
thou hast been greatly abused in thy time
Great "crimes have been perpctrated IN
thy name"
LIE. ms hold on to the staff, now that we
have gotten it in our hands, and determine
that we will not part with il again, and that
it shall float over a just and impartial TO-
ycrnmcnt if the influence and example OF
Virginia arc not entirely without weight
and force.
Yes, that flag has become renowned
through the proves and patriotism of Fir-
ginia as much as through the achievements
of any people on this continent We boldly
claim it as proprietor of our share OF lts
honors and it's glories. We mean to defend
it, and as far as lies in our power we do not
mean that it shall be outraged. Upon a
point of honor and principle Virginia put
forth her shield between the Federal Gov
eminent and the southern people, dcemlng
it her solemn duty to make common cause
with them. She fell with them. She never
dishonored the flag by espousing one single
principle hostile to those rights and that
grand and enlightened principle of liberty
which the revolution of nc consecrated
And she seizes the staff now with no waning
of devotion for those principles, and with,
if anything, stronger resolution than ever
to protect it from all outrage. 1t waves
over Virginia now with a serenity that If
undisturbed save by the apprehension
that the iron-clad oath is to be exacted Of
us-that oath which is gratuitous. mere
surplusage for honest men: and entirely
valueless in protecting the Government
against rogucs. 1t is libel upon the prin-
ciples which consecrated the flag, and that
ensign Of the honor of the nation fiaunts
it's silent Indignation upon the mere sug-
yestion that that oath is to be required OF
us every minute in the day. Let Us hope
that in a short time even this outrage upon
the principles Of the revolution will be
ended, and that the flag consecratcd by the
blood of our Virginia ancestors may wave
over people entirely free and once more
under the panoply of the Constitution and
the lswe, respected and impartially and
Justly administered.

The Liberal Wave Rolling On.

Of all the ultra Republican journals in
the Union, none have been more thorough
than the Pittsburg Gazette but even that
paper bows to the clearly expressed will Of
the majority of the people of this State,
and acknowledges their title to admission
into the Union. Indeed. such is the force
of the great liberal wave that the Virginia
elections set in motion that VIC believe no
one except WHGTTLEsEr and PLATT pre-
sumcs 10 oppose it! They and few dis
reputable men, possibly Governor WELLS,
arc lying in the shade of the iron-clad. Oh,
the shame that anything in the form of in
justice towards q generous and faithful
people should for an instant give encourage
ment to such people!
In presenting the following paragraph
We array testimony of double force in
our favor. We clip it from the columns Of
the Wheeling I';telligenccr, the organ Of
West Virginia Republieanism. In the name
of all that ie reasonable, how can any one
raise an arm against Virginia when the
gentlemen who edit these papers cordially
give to her conduct and claims the benefit
of their approval:
"The Pittsburgh Gazette thinks it OK
presses the general judgment of the Re-
publican party in anticipating the unhesi-
tating appreciation of Congress for the pro-
ceedinrs of the Convention and the ueople
of Virginia. In this Judgment adds the
Gazette, we have the concurrence of Mr..
Boutwell,, whom earnest and thoroughgo-
ing Republicans everywhere have come Of
late to regard with special confidence as an
uncompromising supporter of the Radical
doctrines and policy of our party. That
gentleman holds, as we do, that the election
was fairly in accordance with law, and that
no plea remains for excluding Virginia
from her federal rights
