The first train for week on the Burlington and

MOBILE, Ala, April 90, 1873.
Brgadier General W. N. Pendleton, late Chief OF
Artillery of the Confederate Army OF Northern
Virginia and now pastor OF the Episcopal church at
Lexington, is on a lecturng tour through the
South for the purpose Of raising funds to build
tomb TO the memory OF General r. E. Lee. He has
spoken in nearly all the principal cities South, but
here General Pendeton ecpsed his former lec-
lures by making most astounding charge Of
treachery against Longstreet.
In his lecture delivered in this city for the Lee
memorial fund, Pendeton solemnly arraigned
General James Longstreet, that tireless fighter and
proven hard hitter and to his delay he attributed
the lost opportunity at Gettysburg. The lecturer
said that TO his personal knowledge, derived from
Lees own lips. Longstreet had the night before the
battle received from General Lee in person orders
to advance at the dawn of the next morning. that
he General Pendleton had made a reconnaissance
in person and declared TO General Lee the perfect
practcability OF immediate assault upon the then
uRprcpared enemy how he had waited impatently
till twelve O'Clock: hew Lonsstreet at that hour
rode up to his side and sat upon his horse useless
and Inactive until Jour O'Clock p. NJ. then when
the head OF his column did 60 in, his soldiers were
futile against the now massed and concentrated
enemy; and still Robert +. Lee General Pendeton
said refused to lay the blame upon the shoulders
OF the man who had fought so often and so well
for him.

PTTTsBURG BANK ROBBERY.

Arrest OF One OF the Alleged Robbers
i'm New YOrk-He Sells One OF the
Bonds Stolen from the Safe Deposit
Bank.
PITrsBURG, Pa, April %, 1873.
The theft of the box containing $1,000 in cash
and securities from the Safe Deposit Company
which had been deposited there by the cashier
of the Odd Fellows Bank on the night of
April 5, and which was not forthcoming when
called for on the morning of Monday, the 18th in
stant is still the subject OF much speculation, and
detectives, induced by the reward of $4,000, are
driving ahead to clear up the mystery. Though
many OF the bonds were recovered others are yet
missing, and also cash amounting to something
like four thousand dollars which was deposited in
the box. 1t also contained an Allegnany Railroad
bond for $1,000.
On Tuesday, the sth inst, genteel-looking
young man offered that bond for sale AT the bank
of Fitch, Otis Co., II Pine street, New York. I'm
bond Colonel Phillips, President oil the Allegheny
Valley Railroad, went to New York in search OF
it. He arrived there on Thursday and proceeded
with which firm he left description Of the stolen
bond. BY their endeayors 1t was traced to
They stated thai when the young man first
called he was accompanied by two others He
gave his name as Q. Il. Hampton. They informed
him they could not purchase the bond without first
telegraphing to Philadelphia IN order to ascertain
II IL was all right. They telegraphed and dis ;ov-
cTeu ttaI IL WAS TeVuldT, anu, DcinR payable 10
bearer, they purchased 1t on Wednesday, paying
5000 for t.
On the day following Colonel Phillips arrived,
and, learning these facts, obtained description OF
the man ana put detectives on his track The
suit OF these movements was that last
night a despatch was received here from
detective in New York, stating that the
person who had sold the bond was
arrested and held In custody. He was taken before
Fitch, Otis Il Co., and recognized. The necessary
requisiiion from The Governor was procured, and
as soon as it arrived here Captain Benson,
United States detective, started for New York to
bring the prisoner here. From the description
given OF the person arrested it is believed that
Hampton is not the real name OF the individual.
There is also theory that there is a woman in the
case, and 1T VIII probably be attempted to prove
an dlibt on the part OF the prisoner. An attempt
will also be made to prove that woman carried
the bond to New York.
This bond robbery is one Of the deepest OF mys-
teries, and the manner in which it was accom-
plished will be decidedly interesting and relieve
weight OF suspicion that has rested persons
nected with the Safe Deposit Bank
