Th(1 rirriln-ialnnr'pft fi.nmv.ttd with ill
fobbr-ry of lh jewelry store of Jnhn Klein,
in North Third street, nil Wednesday night,
re exewdinply painful, and the case is one
full tf warning lo all young men. It hns al
ready been Hated in tbe Ledger ihnt the
supposed thieves were in custody. Yester.
day morning the case was again brought
before Mayor Wilkinson, and in the prison
er's dork appeared Abraham I.andis, Albert
Klein, fsano Landis, and Joseph Klein two
uf the Tarty are sons of the person robbed,
tho others nephews. The principal witnes
ses examined were the officers instrumental
in arresting the defendants, and when they
had roiirlnded, Albert Klein, who it about
22 years of nae, proponed that he would
turn Plate' evidence ami relate the dory,
which would bring to justice the real perpe
trator of the offence. He was listened to in
the course of his story, but nothing was eli
cited from him further than that Abraham
Landis made the false keys. This had al
ready been testified to by the olicers, ns
well ns other matters implicating the broth
ers Klein. Finally the cast' arrived at the
point when the Mayor gave notice to the
counsel for the defendants, William D. Baker
Esq., that ho would commit Abraham Lan
dis for the robbery, discharge Isaac Landis
for want of any evidence lo hold him, and
commit the K'ein for a further hearing.
This was done, however, after Abiaham re
quested his counsel and his Honor, the May
or, to allow him to tell the true state of the
whole matter, from its origin to the consum
mation of the uct. The Mayor declined
hearing: the story of the licensed, but.iibse
iiiently the defendant was taken from the
lock-up into the Mayor's private office,
whem hu related, as he alleged, all the cir
cumstances of the matter, and made a full
confession of the lobbeiy. lie statud that
four attempts were madu before access was
gained into the store, ami when the success
lull effort was accomplished, Albert Klein
accompanied and directed him to the places
in thts establishment where the most ralua
bio jewehy was kept.
Landis alleges that the matter of robbing
bis Hindu's store, was first suggested to him
by Albeit, some 2 months ago, at his shop in
Raid ltd street, above Poplar uud that he re
fused. Again and again the cousin returned
as well as Joseph, and insisted upon his en
teiing into the conspiracy, as ho was a lock
smith, for the reason that they were deter
mined to be revenged of their father. The.
appeals ut length overcame him, and the
plans were devised. Albert took an impres
sion of the key-hole in the store door, and
n key was made, but it would not answer
the purpose. Tho next day Albert came
back to Landis and informed him of the
whereabouts of a key very simiisr to that of
his fathers, and it was procured. A sec
oud attempt was made that evening and
failed. A few days afterwards Albert came
with another key, an. I after remodeling it,
tho door was tried a third time, with the
same result. The son, with a perseverance
almost unparalleled, concocted a scheme
whereby the younger son obtained from his
father some ted wax and took an impression
of the store door key. This was taken to
Landis, who altered one of the keys former
ly nianufactuied, and on Wednesday even
ing the attempt was made which proved
successful. The defendant further staled
that the young man havingchaige of the store
was enticed away by Joseph Klein, and
after he (Landis) vtid Albeit had billowed
the brother and watched the boy up Third
street and down Willow slreet to St. John.
thy went back and robbed the store. Then
Xhe jewelry was taken to Kachel street and
deposited in a keg and buiied some ten
inches below the surface of the ground.
Landis, who has a family of four children,
also stales that he was employed by Brink
li Durliin, in Water St., and could easily
make 312 per week when he worked. The
caso as represented seems to bear out the
tact, that he has been made the victim of
bis cuusius' leveuge.

Tuesday morning last, & few minutes be

out-buil lings attached to L Seurles' Hotel.
When first discovered it had just broken
through the roof. The wind was blowing a
steady breeze from the West, and in a few
minutes it communicated to the rear of the
large store houses fronting on Public Avenue
which weie soon enveloped in a sea of
Hame. Our citizens were on the spot in
mass, and put foith every exertion lo stay
the progress of t he destroying element.

and in two hours the whole West side ol
Public Avenue, licia dearie's Hotel lo the

ruins.
A d.uk lantern was found near where tbe
fire wusliisi discovered. Mr. Sayre is the
greatest bullerer of all. The whule. loss of
our citizens is vaiiously estimated, fiom
$10,000 to S60.U00.. The insurance on this

To be held in Siinhury, on Tuesday next,
we have reason to believe, will he attend,

distinguished citizens, from Baltimore to the
State line. We regret that the citizens of
Philadelphia look with so much jealousy
and prejudice upon this important enter
prise. We have not yet discovered that
any of the city papers have even noticed
the Convention. That news papers should
neglect to notice such important move
ments is indeed surprising. Nut one of the
Philadelphia members, and but one from

the times, au rixmu rRosrtcis.
We believe there never was a period
when there was not a complaint ol hard
times. It is the lot of man to complain
and to find fault when things do not go on,
and prosper, as he would w ith. Yet how
often is the fault our own. Want of ener
gy, industry, care and economy, are insup
arable obstacles, that constantly present
themselves and frustrate the hopes of
many. The times were probably never
belter than at the present period. Money
is abundant the agriculture of the Coun
try is teeming with bountiful harvests and
at remunerating prices labor commands
the highest wages, and no one lias occasion
to remain idle. These things have not
been without effect on ourselves. Our
business during the last eighteen months
has rapidly increased, and the accession lo
our subscription list during ttiat term,
without any out door eflort, has been more
than five fold greater than at any ptevious
period. From present appearances there
is every reason to believe that the valley
of the Susquehanna is soon to become the
theatre of vast and important improve,
incuts. Its immense resources of walth
hidden and developed, will, when these
improvements are completed, a. toni.h even
the most sanguine. Philadelphia which
has long been blind to her own interests
with but 9 crude and imperfect knowledge
of the internal resources of her own great
State, suddenly Hods a powerful rival in
the City of Baltimore, grasping with her
usual energy and enterprise, at advantages
that Philadelphia has heretofore looked

we presume, would be tit this place, 40

with the York and Cumberland and the

Elniira about 100 miles west. The editor

THE At:t ESMOM.T OF SOt I It CARO
LINA. The intelligeuea from Iho South Carolina
Convention indicates the triumph of the se
cessionists. The violent speeches of Rhett
and others have been received wilh ap
plause, while the calmer counsel of llie
Unionists has fallen on euld and suspicion
ears. Laugdon Cheves has retired from the
Convention, writing a letter of admonition
as a last effort lo recall his fellow citizens lo
their senses. The magician who assisted lo
raie the storm is now appalled by its pow
er, and vainly attempts to lay the evil spirits
he has conjured up. Blind mortal ! Did he
not know that the powers of wickedness are
easier lo unloose than to chain tip!
We say that South Carolina is Ihe most
selfish Siate of the Union j and we point to
her present conduct as it proof. The rel of
die South is salislied w ith the Compiomise
measures. Why is not she 1 Tw o-thirds of
the voleis below Ihe Potomac, if nut even
moie, admit that the North has sjranled eve
ry constitutional lijjht that the South can ask.
Why, then, does this shu-de Slate brawl
about secession! The fact is, she thinks
secession will enrich her. That is the whole
story told in plain words. Her patriotism
consists, we repeat, in following tier own ii.
leiest. She boasts of her bravery, chivalry, and
heaven know s what, as if sh", alone of the
Union, had brave and chivalrous citizen.
To hear her talk of Marion nnd Smnpter,
Emaw and ninety-six, one would imagine
that there had never been a Washington nr
Greene, a Bunker Hill or a Yotklown. She
bras hiL'h, ton, of what her pallaut sons
would do, if the federal uovernment should
dare in attempt coercion. Patrick Henry

qnered, and so considered herself. Not n
man of all her chivalry had the heart even lo
strike a blow until Marion arose. Nor, even
then, would her inhabitants turn out, except
in a few pallant cases, until the appinaeh of
Greene's army from Virginia gave heart to
her teiror-strnck population. The simple
historical truth is that South Carolina was re.
covered from Ihe Uiitish, by a Rhode Island
General and by Middle State soldieis.

Lee's legion bulb recruited principally from
New Jersey, Delaware, Mankind, and Vu
