a special from Sedalia which says: Hobbs
Kerry, the train robber, was brought
here from Bonneville to-day, and upon.
positive assurance Of entire safety, made
a confession regarding the robbery OF
train near Otterville. He said those
engaged were &. Miller, Frank, jesse
and James Cole, and Bruce Younger,
Charles Pitts, VIM, Chsdwell and him:
self. He said Clel Miller received
the iewelry that was stolen. He offered
to guide the officers to place Is miles
south Of Sedalie, where they buried the
pspc RS taken from the safe. At last ac-
counts the officers had started in search
lie also confessed to other robberies com
mitted by this party, and said that Clerk
Miller assisted in the robbery.

the Upper Ohio, in which West Virginia
is greatly interested. In!the course OF
the sparring between the two houses, and
since the bill was passed by the House,
Mr.. Faulkner's appropriation of $25,OoO
Tor the Monongshela river was stricken
out, and the $500 for the Little Kama
whs inserted. The latter was done
through the efforts of Col. Wilson, whose
illness prevented his doing so before He
was actively assisted by Senator Davis in
procuring the sum. 1t will be seen that
the First and Third districts of the state
have been we'll provided for, $4,000
having been gwen the Parkersburg
Custom House, in addition to the Little
Kanawhs appropriation, for the First
district. Major Hereford's fine success in
procuring the Great Ksnswha and New
river appropriations will doubtless exer-
else decided influence at the Charleston
Convention, which sits on Wednesday,
the 9th inst.
Mr.. Faulkner is very sanguine of sue
cess in the coming Senatorial canvass. 1t
Is the impression here, however, that in
buttIng against MIR. Davis he will find Il
rather solid resistance. y. ~.
