Policemen Jordan and ltulcr. f the Park force, were notified of the pretenfo of the cur, and they, betore ninny minutes had elapsed, succeeded in dlscovcrimr his whereabouts. As they approached him he made for them, but a bullet from a revolver put an er.d to his existence. The owner was taken into cus'ody, and was hold by Alderman Jones in $800 to answer at Court. A lad tiniued Kitzpatrick yesterday amused himself wu.le tt anoint; ou the Kuiriuouut Uc-er-Toir, with peltins pedestrians on the walks below, "with bits of stone.

The Bllesrtitton against William Ilumraell ?resterday beiore Alderman Ma'sey, was that he ind met a woman who claims to be his first wife, at Ninth and Parrish streets, and knocked her down. The woman states that she was married to him a long time asro, but finding that toe was very disorderly left him, since which time he has been livints with another female who bears his name. The innmstrHte concluded to hold him for as-ault. and battery.

The policemau was felled to the pavement. He however secured both and locked them up. Alderman Panconst required them to give bail lor their appearance at court. Little Nothings. Clouds still o'erliang. For several days umbrellas have been fast friends. Our sporting taverns were full of the "fancy" last evening, dUcupsing the chances of the mill between Collyer and Edwards. Tho Collyer men had it all their own way. When the despatch came about midnight, however, announcing his defeat, their tails dropped rather quickly. At one place we saw $7C0 change yocke's in less time than you could say "Jack ltobinsop." So umbraceous are (he trees which surround the Old Pennsylvania llo.-pital on Spruce street that they bade defiance to the faint moon'U-lit last cveiiiug. Mot a ray penetrated, lou could only tell the coming ot a man by the spars, of bis cigar; the coming of a woman by the rustle ot her feathers. at Seventh and Walnut streets, yesterday afternoon, a nice little scrim maea occurred between some half dozeu juveniles of the lairer gender. It w is about some kindling chips. You an bet that nails were sharpened and that tho hair flew. Very many of our country-siders and sea Bidcrs have returned. Piomenades will soon be auimated with sun-burnt belles, and the familiar bricks ou Chesuut street will trip the familiar feet ot our fair ones, as was their wont. It is a Scriptural hint never to look behind. Notwithstanding, we think it would be no great sin for the ladies to take a glance in that direc tion now and then. We saw one yesterday trailing a wnoie newspaper. There aic still scores of hand organists grinding out music in our streets daily. A half dozen oiten get into the same square and the result is a lively state of the harmonic art. The "Grant and Colfax" meeting to morrow Bleht at Passyunk road and Wharton street, promises to he a grand outpoKring. Eight cases were admitted to the Pennsyl vania Hospital during yesterday. A literal 'chapter of accidents." The pretty flowers at Fairmount are begin ning to fold their leaves and hang their heads. Their day is waniLg. The consciences of many people are gutta percha alliiirs. They will btretch a mile before tearing an iuch. Mrs. Shallow says that she don't like Dickens at all the children are always trying to play it. One of our dealers proposes to put up a lot of fruit in can-cans. A Freuch idea that. There are far more "dedd beats" on our fctreets than in our markets. Popular root with young men cheroot. A Fight with a Burglar A Lady Badly Injured. The residence of Iiichard Berry, a policeman of the teecon J District, is on Annap olis street. Last night about 11 o'clock, while lie was upon duty, a thief entered the houe through the second tory rear window, which was reached by means of a thed. While going through the upper rooms he made somewhat of a noiie, which attracted the attention of Mrs. Berry, who was sitting down stairs Being of a fearless disposition, the took a lamp and went up btairs. After reaching the landing the bur glar jumped for her, but she kept him at bay for a little while. He finally succeeded in grabbing her by the throat, when 6Ue made ircod use ot the lamp, which made considerable of a racket us it fell to the floor.

TEXAS. Starling of a Tial -ltd Att Robbery of S3OO,O0O. ipted A Brownsville (Texa) correspondent, writing on the 13th instant, relates that on Monday nieht, the 10th instant, a conducta Irom Mon terey, with $300,000 in Bpecie, was attacKed within three miles rf Matamoros by six despe i adore, who succeeded in taking possession of the train. Tbe guard, acting as escort to the treasure, consisting ot thirty men well armed with Henry rifles, were either surprised and overcome, or perhaps had a private understand ing with their as-ailants betorehand, and were overcome by the prospect of shariug the lich booty with the cap'.ors. The six daring outlaws, however, succeeded in getting pos'-esfton of the treasure, and would, no doubt, have succeeded in carrying it oil and eem'tmg it, but one of tbe escort, more daring thnu ilie others, opened an attack on tbe robbers by tiring on them from oue of tbawaaons. He succeeded in shooting oue of tbem named Miguel Ramirez, through the head, jind in wounding another seriously. On this show of duck and success, the remainder of tho escort rallied around their intrepid leader, and succeeded in arresting four of them. Among the latter Is a desperado named Abram Garcia, who, it Is said, is loug known us a robber and npsn.-sin under tho om de guerre of Caballo Blanco. About a year ago the young man Ramirez was under indictment lor the murder in the District Court of this place, but discharged by nolle prosequi because the evidence against httn was insutlicieiit to sustain tbe charge. His father is a wealthy old miser, and like several others of the. robbers he is conuected with some otthe tiiO't intliuntial familie in Matamoros. His dead b.idy, perforated by two bullets, was exposed ut the caltibonpe all day Tuesday. The fellow Cabiillo Blanco, whosa crimes are said to be almost incredible Irom their number and audacity, has been demanded from the cus tody ol Geueral Palacios, the military com nu hUn'. by tbcc'vil authorities, and the former lias surrendered him tor no other kuown reason thtin that it is supposed he has influential backers in Matt mcrot, who hope thus to save him from ceitain punishment and, perhaps, themselves trom exposure us accomplices in tonic of Ids crimes. TIIH MORMONS. How They CreH.ecl tha Onat PUIai. A coiTCupondent or the Meadville(lJa.) liepub lican writes from Wyoming county: "Ou my trip fiom"Omahnto this city I became acquainted with a Mr. and Mrs. Woods, ou their way to halt Lake, and although not in reality Moimous themselves, many of their relatives were, ami they were in charge of one of these Mormon trains. "lu Mr. and Mr?. Woods I found most agreea blc companions, aud many a mirtnlul joke passed over tho prospect of Mr. Woods accepting tho Mormon luith on Lis arrival at Salt Lake; aioke, hovtevtr, thnt Mi. mid Mrs, Woods could not fully appreciate. "From llentou tbe Mormon3 left the cars and proceeded to a point lour miles north, ou the north loik of the lM-itte rivtr, where tuere were frome two hundred and tl ty or three hundred w aeons and lamihes waiting their arrival before commencing the long, w arwmio jouruev. lUdiig urgently invited to go out to camp with them, I accepted; aud having seuted ourselve Ju it huge euilgnm; wagon, whicU we hail specially chartered, we were soon on our way over the mountains, nd out of hearing of tbo music of the dance-house, and tho boisterous profanity of Rambling hells, Always hcaid In tbe streets of Benton. We arrived at the encampment Jnt ftt it dinner bour, and arranging our toilet (?) we soon availed ourselves ol the lnvitatien to 'set up' and make ourselves 'at home.' 8o, as our lameuted Ward would say, 'we set!' Our 'bill of fsre' was tot Jost the one our friend Sidney Colt would place before the hungry traveller, but tho condition of our stomach, and the novelty of the place conduced to make this homely repast really cnjoyablo. Our scats and table consisted of gunuy bags spread on the ground, onr cutlery a bulchtr knite, our china ware an old smoky tin plate, a two quart basin, or pan as it Is known In Pennsylvania, lor our coflee cup, and our 'bill of Inre' was coffee, bread and bacon. This bread Is rolled aud baked in i.phes and coals over a wood Are, and though not so light as I have tasted, It was really very palatable. ''Dinner over we took a stroll about tho en campaient, visiting the ditlerent wagons, aud talking with many of the families who are mostly poor cmicrant, but thrre wrc a few very intelligent aud respectable families, "It was amusing to read tho various lnfcrio tlons seen on the covered wacons, such as 'There Is liberty iu Zlon,' 'A lode of gearls wanted,' The girl I left behind me,' etc. etc. I learned, however, that this was done by mis chievous boys on the train. We ppent the after non in this way and in walking along the banks of the Platte, w beic we found fomn beautilul specimens of moss-agate, a very fashionable and band-tune jetting ot jewelry, and much superior to anything I have yet seen. "At a certain hour in th? evening tbe b'Ule sounds, nud all descend trom the wagons and lorm themselves in a cirelo, when a bro'tier steps ont to the centre, and with eyes and hands uplifted, and with a fervency sel loin heard, tor fliteen mlnu'es imnlores the blessing of 0.d to rest npon his people, fmaaine five or six bun dled people, in the darkness of night, lit ud only by tbe Bres which they had kinrtlpd and tbe stiirs from heaven, far trom civilization, out on the broad plain with the heavens for their shelter, torned in a circle, with heads bowed and uncovered, listening to and engaging with a brother in prayer, who from his fervency we have no right to believe insincere, ami you have one of the most Impressive scenes 1 ever witteseed. "After prayer tbe 'oil folks' retired to their wagons, while the more agile and youthful ones remained to while away a few hours in a dance upon the ereeu; aud they engaged in it with a joy that knew no bounds, an 1 rud) and twkward as they were, in this dmce I saw displayed a geuuiue politeness that many of our eastern anu more polished ball-goers might learn and profit by. "Having witnessed all there was to be seen, I bade adieu to my Mormon trteuds, and returned again to llenton, which was now in all its pros perity and brilliancy." CHARLESTON: Vb Preservation of Liw and Order. The Chaileston (3. C.) JTetcs of Saturday last Bays: "A meeting of a number of. the prominent citizens and tax-payers of the city was held at the Hibernian Hall yesterday afternoon. Mr. Duuiel Kavtnel was called to the chair, and (ieneral Conner 6tuted the objects of the meet ing. He said tbat there was hardly a man pre sent who did not realize the auomalous and peulous condition iu which the commu nity was living. There was not within the State a single Court organized for the trial of ollenderi. The municipal authority was, by Its own confession, poweiless. Every protection which the law loruierly afforded was swept away, and yet at the tamo time a large portion of the population was actuated by a spirit of lawlessness, and Incited by bad men to deeds of violence, in order that political capital may be manufactured to inllucuce the Presidential elec tiou. Nothing but the forbenrauce and self control ol our people had thus lar arrested a co nil tct. The evil was clearly apparent. What wus the appropriate remedy was not so clear. A few geutlemen had endeavored carefully to consider the question. The wisest course that they could suggest was tbat a number of the responsible and influential members ot the com munity should aiilre-s their lello w-citizus, setting forth truthiully the dangers which threatened them, counseling forbnarauce, and yet earnestly advising tbem to prepare them 6elve3 to protect their persons aud property; and that Hon. J. 13. Campbell should be re quested, ou behalf of his fellow-citizens, to present the address to the President of the United Slates, and request him to take such measures for the preservation of the public peace as iu his judgment may be deemed proner. General Conner then read the address which had been ptepared, and which, on motion, was adopted and signed by all present, aud ordered to be published. Copies of the aldrcss are left at tho office of the Daily Jcws, Mercury, and Courier. All ot our fellow-citizens who are disposed to lend thtiraid to tbe preservation of law and order, are invited to sign the uddress. CHANT AND S DERM AN. From the N. Y. Commercial Advertiser. 'General Sherman has refused to commit himself for Urant in a puullo speech. World." The following is from Sherman's address before the annual meeting of the Army of the Tennessee: "After a whole year of toll and battles, varied In adventure that would till a volume, that re nowned fortress ( Vluksburg) succumbed at last to tbe army and navy, led by two heroes that have no superiors In any country; aud both of whom still live to reap the reward of their labors Grant and Porter." The following was General Sherman's speech at St. Joseph: "Gentlemen: Mr. Grant and myself know bow to appreciate any spirit of reaped, but nt liber General Gram nor myself are to be dis concerted by any large crowd. We are used to large crowds, and we cannot be disconcerted. General Grant has declined to makeaspeeob, and I think, occupying tbe position he does before tbe country, he icts tbe part of wisdom. "Gentlemen, I do not In general oounsel vio lence, but were I a citizen of St. Joseph, I would take tbat man (relerrlng to the one woo cheered for Heymour and Lee), down to tbe Missouri and duck him. We have fought Rebels, and we thought they had enough of fighting." The following are extracts fron Sherman's letter of March, 18G4, to Grant, congratulat ing Lim upon his triumphs: "You are now Washington's legitimate suc cessor, aud occupy a position of almost danger ous elevation, but It you can continue, as here tofore, to be yourself, simple, houest, an 1 un pretending, you will enjoy through life the respect aud love of iriends and the bomtge of millions of human beings tbat will award you a large snare lu stcurlng to you and their descen dants a Government of law and stability. 1 believe you are as brave, patriot lo, and Just as the great prototype, Washington as unselfish, kind-hearted, and honest as a man should be, but lbs chief characteristic is the simple faltb In success you have always mani fested, which I can liken to nothing else than the faith a Christian has in tbe Havlour." riilliidelplila Trade lteport.
