HIGHWAY ROBBERY IN THH ROCKY
MOUNTAINS. Special Agent: Wiokiaef,
OF the Post Office Department. reports
from Salt Lake, July 81, that highway
robbery on the main routes in the Rocky
Mountains is becoming quite frequent.
On the 9th ultimo, robbers attacked She
mail coach on the Montana route, near
Pleasant Valley. and took $4,000 in
treasure from Wells, Fargo & Go. g ex.
press, but did not molest the mails. The
robbers haze been arrested. A few days
later, on the same route, near Snnke
River, the stage coach was fred into
and the driver mortally wounded. The
poor fellow had the nervo and presence
of mind to put whip to his horses. by
which all was saved but his own life.
He expired soon after he reached the
first station. On the Gath ultimo, the
mail coach on the Kelton aud Boise
route, near Snake River, was attacked
by robbers, and the through mail pouch
from Boise to Kelton taken, and also
Wells, Fargo & Co. treasure box.
Agent Wickizor says bad men como to

ing sudden fortunes, and. being disap-
pointed, become reckless and desperate

S0CrH CAROLINA USIvEIsI1Y.-Th
United States Commissioner of Educa-
ton, in his annual report for 1872,
gives the following notice of the South
Carolina University:
"The University consists of ten dis
tinct and independent schools. Stu
dents are allowed a choice, provided
they entcr ut least three schools. This
institution affords superior educational
advantages. Tho State appropriations
for its support have been liberal; its To-
cation is central aud healthy, its build
;ngs are commo1ious, its library is the
finest in the South, aud thero is full
corps Of learned. efficient, faithful pro.
fcssors."
The sano report says:
"There were 29O,379 Inhabitants of
oil races, ovor ten years Of age, unable
to write, Of whom Gs3 were foreign
born. This report shows O wonderful
improvement, as it must bo remembered
that tic State contains AS G14 colored
persons. Most Of theso, ten years ago,
wore, in law, chattcls. The census for
1880 will show much higher per cent.
OF lllitaracy among the whites than
among the colored. A largo class of
white people manifest 20 desire for edu-
cation for themselves or for their ohii-
dren."

AN OLD CASE correspondent of
tho Charleston Nc!cs, writing from
Greenyille under date Of the 9th, says:
The United States Court commenced
its August session hore on Monday last,
Judge Bryan presiding, and Immediately
proceeded to important business, taking
up the case Of ono set OF the heirs of
General Davie against another set OF
his heirs. claiming q Variable estate of
5000 acres on Catawba River, Chester
County. in this State. Hamilton, of
Chester, and Porter, of Charleston,
represent ono party, and McCrady and
Miles, OF Charlcston, and w. 81. Trcs-
cott, Of Pendleton, the other. It in
wolves some $4,000, md has been in
the State Court for near twenty years.
It now appears for tho first time il the
United States Court, and will probably
go mp to tho Supreme Court of the
United States. The plcadings 90 far
nave peon very able, and to-day Porter
and Miles speak. It is very intricate
and obscure case, and involves much old
and new law. It is Legal question al
together; the Judge decides it, but the
jury signs the verdict.

a claim agent recently addressed 4
letter to the Commissioner of Pensions,
asking him to se1.l, with as little delay
as possible. a supply of official postage
stamps, to be used by him in his COM
municatious with the Office. AS these
stamps are for the use of Government
officers only, lie was informed that his
request could not be granted. Some
members OF Congress, even, are under
the impression that they will he sup.
piled with these stamps; but such is not
the case. Until the law abolishirg the
franking privilege is repealed. members
of Congress will have to use the ordi-
nary stamp, the same as the common
horde. 1t will be remembered that one
argument in favor of the increase OF. the
pay OF Congressman was that they
would hereafter have to pay their own
postage the same as honest men.

An OUTLET FOR THE WEST There is
an almost universal opinion now pre-
yailing st the North that there is to
grow up somewhere on the Southern
Atlantic coast great commercial city
As yet, however, but few Of the papers
there have begun to predict its locality.
From tho many hints in regard to the
coming emporium we have lately seen,
We take the following from late num-
Der Of Frank Leslie's Illustrated Neus:
~ st. Louis journal boasts that five
years hence. no railroad West OF Cincin-
natl will think ). going to Pittsburg for
ircn, because ST. Louis will build up u
great iron trade of her own. It cannot
be matter Of doubt that in twenty
years there will DO four prominent lead
ing cities in America-New York, st.
Louis. San Francisco, and another
somewhere in the South"
