TERRE HAUTE, INDIANA.
Recovery Of $4,000 Of the Money
stOlen from the SermiIliOn County
Treasury-The Raiment Of the Rob
bers Scanty.


TBRRE HAurE, April 20-$l6,OOO of
the money stolen from the office of the
Treasurer of Vermillion county has
been recovered. A farmer living near
Clinton saw two suspicious men last
evening and called to them stop Upon
this they ran and the farmer
gave chase 4 large gang
of railroad laborers joined him in pur-
suit. The fugitives fled to the wabash
river. pulled off most of their clothing,
iumped in and swan towards the other
shore. One of them threw from his
possession package, to enable him to
swim faster. Some of the pursuing
party swan out and secured the pack
age and found it to contain SIX
teen thousand dollars Of the missing
money. When the thieves reached the
shore man tried to stop them, and
succeeded in knocking one Of them
down with rail. The other drew a
revolver and drove their antagonist on,
whereupon the two robbers took to the
bushes. with no clothing except shirts
and drawers. The whole country is
stirred up. Hundreds of men are after
the robbers, and in their present con-
dition they can hardly escape.

D
ImpoFtant csnneetien-
There is certainly a compreh hensiv'
system of railroad enterprise ehgagin:
active and practical attention nl Vlr
ginia at this time. In addition 10 tht
roads in which Baltimore has become
directly interested, and the projected
Valley road and the Lynchburg ant
Danville connection to which she pro
poses TO give aid, the New York capi
talists have been given possession OF the
great Chesapeake and Ohio road On the
condition of finishing it to the Ohio, ant
have determined to carry OtfF the
scheme of connecting the Chesapeake
and Ohio and Virginia and Tennessee
railroads, which has been spoken OF for
several months past The following
telegram was sent on Thursday last by
the gentlemen in New York interested
to Governor Walker:
THE Board of Public Works OF Vir'
ginia and West Virginia have been
notified by the Chesapeake and Ohio
railroad company that it is Their pur'
pose to construct a branch from It's
main line at or near Covington to con-
meet with the Virginia and Tennessee
railroad near Lynchburg, and have
ordered explorations and surveys to be
made for that purpose at once.
This is most important enterprise,
a. it will bring the Chesapeake and
Ohio down by the valley OF the James
to Lynchburg, where the trade Of the
West will be joined by that from the
Southwest by the Virginia and Tennes-
see road, and at which point Baltimore
appears upon the field through the
Orange and Alexandria railroad con-
nection. The purpose Of the New
York parties, it may be presumed,
is chiefly to turn this great concentra-
ton Of trade down upon what are
called the Southside roads toward
Norfolk, about the consolidation
of which with the Virginia and Ten
nessee road there is now so much con-
troversy at Richmond. The papers Of
the latter city appear greatly rejoiced,
however, over the. determination OF the
Chesapeake and Ohio to make its
branch to Lynchburg, as there is a
projected straight line thence to Rich
mond There beng no such cOnnec-
ton rs vet between those two cities,
doubtless Richmond will exert herself
as speedily as possible to secure it,
otherwise she will be cut off from much
that she has heretofore regarded as
vital to her prosperity.
These statements, in connection with
the extension southwark to Danville of
the Lynchburg to connect with the
North and South Carolina roads and to
which Baltimore il asked 10 give aid by
endorsement Of bonds, indicate some
thing certainly Of more or less import
ance to Baltimore. Baltimore S,m.
