city to whom they we're addressed. Most
OF the missing letters we're addressed to
San Francisco banks, a large number of
them contained checks and many
contained small sumsin gold notes and
g%reenbacks. The confusion that such
losses must have created, may be easily
imagined, and Wells, Fargo & Co. soon
bent their energies to the task of discov-
ering the person who had abused their
confidence. The task called for coasid.

ard while it was being worked out, three
unfortunate letter-boys were discharged
on suspicion. At last the thief was dis
covered, and to Captain Stone of our
police force, and j. B.. Hume, the com
pany's detective, is the credit of the dis
cevery due. For several days and nights,
from a convenient point of observation,
they watched operations in the office.
Last night they saw something interest

to distribute in their proper boxes letters

three deeoy letters that had been sent

SUING GENERAL sICKLEs FOR WHAT HE
SAYS WAS A CONTRIBUTION TO IT.
Daniel f. Sickles has been sued in the
Supreme Court for 81 900, alleged to have
been loaned him in gums Of $500. 500
and $500 in June and July, 1861. The
suit is brought by Clayton Belknap as as
signee of A. A. Belknap, The complaint
states that from 1861 to July l, 1863, Mr..
Sickles was out of the State more than
three years, and afterwards United States
Minister to Madrid. Mr.. Siekles, in his
answer admits that A. A. Belknap ad-
vanced the sums of money mentioned,
but they were not given to him indivi-
dually for his benefit, but as PERSONAL
patriotic contribution to the Government
of the United States towards the organi-
zation, support and equipment OF a bri-
gade of volunteers for the suppression
Of the rebellion, in the organization of
which Sickles was then constantly en-
gagged, and in which son of A. A. Bel
KNAPP held the commission of Lieuten-
ant. He has never been absent, Mr..
Sickles says, except for limited periods,
and then only in the public service. An
| appropriation of 81, ,000, 900 had been
made by Congress to repay these contri-
buttons, and II Belknap did not put in q
| claim it was his own fault. Judge Bar.
rett was asked to strike out . portisn of
the answer. Decision reserved.
