CHEAP GOODS THE GREATEST AT
TRACTIoN.-The advertisement of Mr.. s.
N. Moody, which we publish in another
column, is certainly worthy OF careful
perusal by all who are DESTROYS of getting
the very best of shirts and underclothing.
The public are informed how it is that Mr..
Moody manages to sell such quality of
goods at prices far below those usual
throughout the country. His immense
sales of gentlemen's shirts and underclOth-
ing force him to manufacture on the
largest kind of scale, and as he buys every
bit of material from first hands, the pur-
chasers of his goods save the profits usually
made by the second and third parties from
whom they buy. Hence Mr.. Moody can
sell six shirts, fit for any gentleman to
wear, at nine dollars-or only one dollar
and a half each; six others, very fine, at
thirteen dollars; and six others, still finer,
at sixteen dollars and half; while for six
all linen shirts of the finest quality only
twenty four dollars Who would ask more
reasonable prices, and who can wonder at
Mr.. Moody's immense sales

One of our fellow-citizens, James Nc
Gowan, Esq, takes his departure this
morning, in the steamer George Washing
ton. for New York. He was formerly resi-
dent Of that city, but for several years past
has been one of the most valuable ener-
getic and thriving citizens of this State. He
has been successful and prosperous in bust
ness, and takes leave of absence for four
months for recreation and to visit his
friends and the scenes of his early life, who
doubtless will be pleased to meet him and
enjoy his pleasant companionship and iber-
atty. We wish him bon voyage, rousing
reception, a happy time with friends and
companions, and safe return to US again
in due season. He is accompanied by his
son, who goes to visit New York and see its
beauties and wonders. We bespeak for
them both good cheer and the hospitality
which they deserve.

at is the nature of thief to lie" says a
well known Bow street detective. There
is not one of them who would not rather lie
than tell the truth" Notwithstanding this
authority, there are true stories told by
thieves, nevertheless. The reporter has
heard the narration of one who ''sugared
up to an official high in authority until he
gained his point. That they tell truth is
certain, for most of the information OBJ
tanned by the police is from the ''squeal-
ing as confessions are not inaptly termed
of these malefactors. To receive brides
from a thief is bad business, for
there is no confidence of this kind
kind they will not break Every good citi-
zen is anxious to have this class of people
Gagged in the same way thieves who are
planning, but have not actually committed
robberies, are disposed of in London, whence
all process for thief detection is respected
as being er cathedra. Did any one ever
hear IN a Northern city. of any notorious
thief permitted to eoolly walk the streets,
and for the laws to be invoked for their
protection, Measures will soon be taken
to protect the police in carrying out the
theory that prevention is better than
cure" 1t is known that mob Of thieves,
ten days after the discharge by habeas
corpus, went to work" and robbed store
81, al
laws are good enough, but the execution is
certainly bad.
A gang of five 'dingies,' as cOlOred
thieves are called, have been cat work ON
the Mobile and Ohio road robbing freight
trains, and, in one instance, cracking" an
express safe containing twelve thousand
dollars. They tumbled it off the train
when in motion and then opened 1t with an
ak. Detectives found out where the ak
came from, then got the description of the
''dingy" who borrowed it, and traced out
the robbery Two of them were picked up
in Mobile by a fiat" who had his sus-
pieions aroused by the way in which they
handled their money and the great amount
in hand. They were recognized as the ex
press robbers as soon as locked up, and
were set dead to rights" by 1.-The grand"
but one of them escaped. The point of
this is that the gang have disappeared from
their Jay the Mobile and Ohio railroad,
and, it is suspected, are at work in this city,
as, in several of the late robberies, there
are evidences of strange handiwork.
The late habeas corpus troubles have de-
moralzed the thief takers, as there is a gen
eral dislike TO go to Jail for pulling" this
class. An expedition was about to make
descent on a house where " fence" enter
tains pack of these gentry somewhat after
the style of Fagins clearinghouse. But hav
ing to make use of the vagrant law, the
sally was delayed, and these thieves areleft
in all their glory, neighboring barkeeper
where they drink having an eye on their
movements until the time comes for the
nippers, as come it will, and the dodge of
habeas corpus will not work.

BURNING OF THE WELCOME.-A fire
caught amidships in the steamer Welcome,
lying at the head of Fourth street, about
half-past two yesterday morning, and the
boat was burned to the main deck. The
steamer was laid up for repairs at the time,
and was guarded by two watchmen-
Joseph Mellon and William b. OBrien-
who deserted the boat soon as the fire
broke out, but were found near by on the
corner of Water street, and were put in de-
tention by the police. There is an insur-
ance on the boat, but in what office or
what amount has not yet been ascertained.
On inquiry into the circumstances, it APP
pears that Mollon has been in correspond
.ence with the captain and owner of the
steamer. who lives now at Duval's Bluff,
Arkansas. He had the bar of the boat for
merly, and is thoroughly acquainted with
the whole management. There is a sus-
picion of incendiarism, but no proof has
been obtained, and so there is nothing but
the suspicion. The only answer the two
men gave was that they went ashore when
the boat was on fire, and did not turn the
alarm. because they did not know bow.
