all the freight now sent South goes by rail
and much Of it is transferred from the cars
to the steamers at this point, And this
transferring is done, in great part, by our

cleared nine dollars, and many others had
done the same.
Chief La Hue and Officer Schuckcrs on
Sunday we believe, caught the negro who
appropriated to himself seven or eight of
Mr.. A. Blacks one dollar bills. On the
thlet's person were also found the keys, in
Guiding the safe key, which Mr.. John Nc
Nulty had lost and for which he advertised
in The BULLETIN. The supposition is that
the fellow went into McNultys store and
stole them from the counter.
A white stranger yesterday walked up
to jim Ross show window and very cody

ing informed that 1t would cost him dol

insisted on breaking another pane at the
same price.
