MANuEACTORY.

OF Lands & BURNELLs are turn
ne out large amount Of first class WORK
every week. Their business has greatly In
creased, and they will doubtless be CON-
PEELED to make a further enlargement Of
their establishment. The reason Is obV1-
ous-TheIr work always gives sat
IsfactiOn. and when they sell to one man
in locality, they draw the trade OF that
seetien. Their repairing department is al
so on the increase, as they invariably guar
antee their work, and employ none but
first class mechanics.
This establishment is credit to the city,
and we hope that it win continue to pros

would do well to examine the work of this
extensive establishment before sending

refused, and at the ensuing trial the thief
was turned loose under the presext that be
must have left my premises with the stolen
article before he could be convicted for
stealing. His having first went and opened
the door for the purpose Of leaving my
house-his denial.of having taken the goods
IN my house, and his refusal to give them
up before being taken from him By force
these proofs were not deemed enough to
convict him. And why? Because il would
be too heavy an expense 20 the County to
convict him.
Now, Messrs. Editors, several other
thefts have occurred in my house since I
caught the thieves, took the things from
them and let them 90, because l could not
get them convicted. who's in fault, now,
for these petty theftsg Is it the fault Of the
merchants, or the Magistrates whose patri-
otto conscience would rather let a negro
thief 20 free, to commit other thefts, than
TO cause the County the expense OF keep
ing him in Jail? ALPHA
We know nothing about the cases refer
red TO in the above communication; but as
the writer takes issue with US as TO the
cause Of 50 much stealing from merchants
on business days. we give his views to the

COMMUNICATION.


MEssRs. EDITORS I'm your last weeks
issue you attribute wrongly the great and
increasing number Of petty thefts occurring
IN stores every Saturday, by raseally ne
groes, to the negligence Of our merchants in
bringing them to justice.
Allow me, Messrs. Editers, for the yindi-
cation OF at least some of our store. keepers,
to give you q detailed instance where such
petty thief, having been arrested, was
discharged because he had not vet made
good his escape with the stolen article be-
fore he was caught. One of that species of
negroes having entered my store, in COM
pany with eight or nine others, last winter.
and their movements in the store arousing
in me 4 suspicion as to their intention, 1
noticed one Of the negroes having something
under his blanket which he neither brought
in nor bought in my house. Being busy At
the time, 1 waited till he went to the door
after having asked the other boys to come
with him, when at the moment he opened
the door to leave my house 1 caught hold
Of him and asked him to give up the goods
| he had stolen. He refused, after having as
serted that he bought them somewhere
else. Ny Clerk noticing that the negro had
pair Of pants under his blanket that be-
Ionged to me, told him to give them up,
when, on refusing he took them away from
the negro by force, and had the negro ar
rested.
Summoned to the Magistrates office the
latter, after having let me wait an hour OF
| so (preeious time for q merchant on Satur.
day. tried to persuade me from prosecuting
the case as "the negro having not left nv
| premises with the stolen article Zone pain
Of pants value Of 81 was not sure to sue
coed, and If should succeed he would mo-
like to make the County such an sxpens,
on account ef such petty theft, though he
for himself, never doubted but that tn,
negro tried to steal the pants" On insist
ing, nevertheless, in bringing the thief t,
justice, lawyer was given him, who pro
posed TO me, on behalf OF the negro, to TAX
a certain amount for damages and let tn
negro 90 as his prosecution would max
too heavy an expense for the County.

ssARABELLA.,,

Arabella dainty and fair to see
Flower Of the whole round world to me
Gene this way on your dancing feet
Say how much do you love me, Sweet,
This question would not write down
Did your brow not wear such a sparkling
frown
Though wise in you it may be
Trying to measure my love for thee.
1 love you all the day and the night
Through all the dark and sunshine bright
Over the tops of the mountains high
All along way up to the sky.
The author Of the above we are proud to
say, is a soaring genius OF Jackson, whose
uncfpped wings will yet carry him 10
heights Of po0sy (Hpon which he viii com
fortably recline) where the loftiest and most
daring genius Of past times have vainly
attempted TO stand. No poetic critic will
fail to be enraptured with the leading fea-
lures OF the above Epigram, that is the
rhyme or die principle, so to speak, which
pervades it. Indeed the wild and reckless
daring displayed at the end Of each line,
the absolutely wonderful felicity OF express
sion, and the sublimely magnificent alti-
tude reached in the last line where the
climax bursts upon the startled reader like
thunder in clear sky, in utter defiance Of
all old fogy rules and gangrened criticism,
stamps the authe- bold, aggressive, inde-
pendent genius Of transcendent msrit-in
fact altitudinously transeendent. Wehaye
purchased the copyright to all his Fast,
present and future illusions, and woe TO
the publisher that encroaehes upon our
prerogative.

Police Items.

Professor Winters gave lessons to
fOrty-fve pupils et his academy on
Adams street this morning, and assessed
fines enough to pay the police force for
their services yesterday. Alphabetically
arranged the Judge had class of FIVE
DRINKS, six misdemeanors, four assault
and battery, one for assault with intent
to kill and one accessory thereto, three
disorderly, one nuisance, and two anna
teur drivists who skipped over the
Nicolson at gait rather too lively
for the safety Of pedestrians. John
Mckinney, for carrying concealed weap-
onS and shooting in the corporation, was
fined fifty dollars and bound over to APP
pear before the Criminal Court in the
sum Of $4,000. John Campbell, for lar
ceny, had his bail fixed at $1,000. Jack
Hunt was one of the chaps arrested
for assault with intent to kill and
was sent to Jail without bail. A.
s. Booth, charged with assaulting a
negro, with whom he had friendly game
of draw" at Booths saloon, on the
corner of Beal and fernando streets,
and who got befuddled because the negro
persistediin holding four aces and win
ming his ducats, assaulted the jarky with
knife, giving him four cuts, was sent
to Jail without bail. Handy Davis, his
father-in-law, was also remanded
to prison without bail, the negro
Miller charging that Davis held him
while Booth did the slashing. Miller is
not expected to live, and until the physi-
clans pronounce him out of danger or
the Coroner attends him. Messrs. Booth
and Davis will remain where they are.

TaIerranhIn Instice.

About one week ago Sheriff Ritten-
house, of Champagne county, Illinois,
came here to look for one Ben Donohue,
charged with horse-stealing. Captain
Athy's subalterns found him and locked
him up, they finding that there was also
an indictment against him here for hav-
ing something to do with a diamond
pin that he could not show bill of sale
for. In the meantime requisition from
the Governor of Illinois was sent for,
and early this morning the necessary ex-
tradition papers we're received from
Nashville, of which fact the proper
county officials we're notified by Chief
Athy, they having Donohue in Gus
tody. He was, however, brought out
on writ of habess corpus and taken
before Judge Halsey, who discharged
him from arrest, not knowing, perhaps,
that the necessary papers we're here to
convey the prisoner to Illinois, and
neither did he know, probably, that upon
the writ that released him from Sheriff
Doyles hotel was Endorsed the fact that
there was another indictment against
him. ponohue, however, thought of
these matters, and couldn't have been
found anywhere in ten nipute0 after he
had been released.
