SATURDAY, NOV. 21. 1863
«T The chap who dishes up the local
iteiUH fop the Juniata Begister, talks to us
very familiarly, and says several (to him)
wry funny ami sharp things about us, (the
■Senior) because, forsooth, we declined Un
cle Samuel's invitation jto his great South
ern .Ball. Our cotemporary says .he al
ways likes to see a man practice what He
preaches. So do we, Amos. If you are
in earnest in this matter, you should set
tw the example. You have been preach
ing opposition to the Government, the
wur, the conscription and loyalty general-
,ly. tor a couple of yearspast, yet you have
t'aiWd to.practice your preaching by going
down South and helping your friends, Da
vis, Floyd, Breckinridge, etc. You say
to us:
‘‘ ll vt>u are k> desirous of freeing the negroes
~ don’t yon shoulder a musket, 'step into the
milks, and assist the administration in accomplish
ing this object?’*
We do.not like the Yankee style,of an
swering one question hy asking another,
yet it appears in place for us, just here’, to
inquire of our interrogator, since he,has
assumed to.criticise our actions, why it is
since he is so much afraid the negroes will
he freed and his friends, Davis & Go., there
, hy .loose their property, that he does not
shoulder his .iqnaket, step into their ranks,
and assist them in preventing the Union
army from accomplishing this object and
-jiving the Union? Why don’t you do
tor your friends, Arnos, - what you would
have us do (or purs? We think We have
done more for the Union than you have
done for its enemies—not because you did
not desire to do more for them, but because
you lacked the ability; We claim the
merit of being 'loyal to; the government
under which we live and which affords us
.protection-; that although wo have not
shouldered a musket ami gone into the
tield in its defence, we have con
tributed of an amount whichjthe Gfoverment
agreed was equivalent ito our services,
and have exerted our influence, whatever
if may be, in its favor. How has it been
with you, Amos? A, ll open advocate of
slavery and a covert emisary of Jeff Da
vis aristocracy and .monarchy, (too cow
ardly to go down into the dominions of
your frihrtd, Davis,; lest he should cotopel
you to volunteer in his army,) you have
been crawling, snake-like, over this free
soil, leaving behind you |n slimy, streak of
base ingratitude to the free government
(of which you are an' alien) that tolerates
your presence, permits you to breathe
and pollute its pure air, ; affords you pro
tection awl patiently endures your stabs
in the dark, because it scorns to tread the
meanest worm. Whenever you go to. the
assistance of your friends, Amos, and
thereby practice what you preach, you
will find is in the Union ranks: but so
lung as you remain up»here, so long will
we remain to keep an eye oh yon and en
deavor to counteract yoifr pernicious in
fluence.
Having noticed us so I familiarly and
kindly, Amos, you must hot take it bard
that we have replied in like manner, only
i»ore at length. ; Good bye.
From the Army of the Potomac

on the body of one of Lee's soldiers who
was killed, in a late engagement. It is
irom a lather,* living near Vicksburg, to
his son in the Hebei army. Among other
things it gives a lamentable picture of af
tairs in Misissippi and’ Louisiana, owing
to Ute stampede of the the merci
less execution of the Dajvis conscription
law, the robberies by guerrillas, and,the
dtgnt of rich traitors to Texas from their
luxurious plantations along the Mississip
pi In closing ;the writer says: “Our
men are top much and too many
have gone back to the Union. This war
was got up drunk, but they will have to
wetlle it sober: There are a great many
men in the South who ajre to be pitted.”
The day of settlement is not far off, and

Letter from “Augustus Son tag.’’
The $lO,OOO Robbe&t. —ln our issue of Satur
day morning we briefly mentioned the fact that
early on Friday night a thief had thrust his hand
through the window of Samuel L M’Cullock,
broker, on Market street, snatched up $lO,OOO,
and made off with it successfully. We have since
visited the premises, .and learned some tacts in
relation to the affair. It appears that Mr. M’O.
had received a payment of some $9,000 from an
officer connected with the government. This
money, whicli was in “ greenbacks” of various de
nominations, he increased to the round sura of
•'5O 0,000. and locked in a desk for safe keeping
while he went to supper. Shortly after 9 o’clock
he opened this desk for the purpose of arranging
iis contents; at the same time lifting out the pack
age and laying it on the show window for the time
being. About this time » gentleman entered and
transacted some business with him, after whicli
Mr. M C. went into the hack dart of the office
and laid down upon a lounge to read. He lay in
>ueh a way that he had a full view of both the
front window and the door, although about one
half of the former was concealed from view by
the desk above mentioned.
in a tew minutes he was aroused by a crash of
and, recollecting rhg money, he instantly
ran to the window. Retreating a few steps, he
sprang quickly over the counter and ran out of the
door, crying “stop thief" at the-top of bis voice.
He looked up, across and down the street, but not
a soul was in sight. Running across, lie met Mr.
( lark, an emphA'ce of the Lebanon Valiev rail
road, ou the corner of Fifth and Market, who told
him he had seen a man running along Filth toward
the depot. They made that way in ail haste, but
the hold fellow had made good Ins eseajie.
Mr. M’Oullock immediately telegraphed in all
directions, offering a reward of $1,009 for the ap
prehension of the thief, but as he has not a single
clue or suspicion whereby to identify him, it is
doubtful if the money will ever be recovered. As
the ease stands, it is one of the boldest aud most
successful robberies on record, being made at an
early hour and in the busiest part of town.
Iho loser in this instance seems to be peculiarly
unfortunate, as he lost about $B,OOO by the burn
ing ot his flouring mill on State street, about three
\ears ago, andjiad a stave factory on the corner
of \\ ahuit and Short streets burned by an incen
diary the year before, involving a loss of about

who rather impertinently attempted to introduce

A Good Move — The different counties of In
diana are outvying each other in endeavoring to
make soldiers families comfortably and helping on
the Sanitary Commission. A soldiers' supper at
Lafayette the other night, netted $330; Carroll
county has given $235 in cash and 400 wagon
loads of provision; one gentleman in Richmond
has given $l,OOO, 'and these are only examples of
what is going on all over the State.
Retired —Brigadier General Robert Anderson,
the hero of Sumter, has been placed upon the re
tiring list by the President of the United States,
upon the recommendation of the Retiring Board.
The retirement of Gen. Anderson is understood to
lie in entire concurrence with his wishes, ns thh
health of the great soldier has Jong been such us
to necessitate his seeking a condition of |icrmanent
repose.

Robbery.— On Sunday night last, ilte mer
chant tailoring establishment of Thomas Elway,
in Brant’s How, was entered through one of the
front windows amlu considerable quantity of made
uji clothing and several pieces of cloth and vest*
lugs carried oif. On the discovery of the robbery,
~u Monday morning, there was no clue to the
l«>rpe«wlor», hut during the day a chisel bearing
ihe stamp of the Ucnn’a R. R. Co. was found on
ihe street in front of the store. O 9 comparing' it
with the marks on the window shutter it was
t.mnd to be the article used in forcing it. The
chisel had evidently been taken from the tool box
~I'a.car, standing on the siding, which was broken
~|*'U the same 1 night. Suspicion then fell'upon a
maple of unkhowu darkies who were seep loiter
ing around the railroad all day on Sunday, hut
who were among the missing on Monday morn
ing. Xo light was throw'll on" the subject until
Tuesday morning, when Mr. Elway received a
telegram from Samuel 1). Young,. Supt. Middle
Division, E- R. R., at Harrisburg, informing him
ihut a portion of his goods were at the “ McClellan
House/' in that city. Mr. E. left for Harrisburg
mi the first train, and was pleased to 6nd that the
most of his stock had been recovered, but the
thieves had escaped, almost at the risk ; of their
lives, as the sequel will Show. -
Suspicion had rightly fallen upon the darkies,
above referred to. It is supposed that after they
had secured the goods they plao'ed them in a sta
ble, (as there were hay seeds on“them) either here
nr at Spruce Creek, and waited until the freight
iraiiis were, passing down on Monday night, when
1 hey selected a box car loaded with coal, the
doors of which were open, into which they stowed
dieir booty, and then took passage themselves. A
lirakeman on the train discovered the passengers
and, while the (raids stopped at Marysville, in
formed Win. Marshal, conductor of another train
running on 'same schedule, of the fact. Mr. M.
-alistied himself that the passengers .were the sus
pected darkies, and immediately closed the doors
of the cur, intending to keep them in it until the
•train arrived at Harrisburg. Unfortunately, the
car was one that had been used for transporting
soldiers, in which a number of holes had been cat,
which had been insecurely closed. At these the
darkies went, find soon succeeded in knocking out
the strips with which one of the holes bad, been
closed, and before the train bad got under full
headway they jumped' out and skecdaddlcd for
life. One of them fell out and was seen by the
tirakeman to roll down over the embankment into
.1 ditch pf water. V£hen the car was opened, at
Harrisburg, all the cloth and a number of pieces
<>f clothing wpre found in it. Each darkey had
pat on two cassimer shirts and about two suits' of
clothes, and left the balance. The police of
Harrisburg were supplied with samples of the
missing clothing and it is to be hojied that they
will succeed in “ pulling’’ the scamps.
This is the second time Mr. Elway has been
robbed. There is a german now serving out a
ifnu in the Western Penitentiary for performing
a similar operation some two years since.
Mr. E’s loss in this instance foots up abont
«B‘>,oO.
Aii attempt was nnule, on'the same night, la
enter the hoot ami shoe store of Mr. John Shoe
maker, but the window shutters were too strong
and toosecuHev fastened.
Man Killed.— On Monday afternoon last, a
german named John Wicker, a laborer on the
irnek train on the Mountain Division, was thrown
irom a truck, near Kittanning Foint, and fell upon
Ihe track in such a l**ition that the train passed
over his left arm and leg, breaking and injuring
both to such an extent that amputation was ren
dered necessary. This was performed by Drs.
< 'hristy and Gcmmill, at the Exchange Hotel, to
which place he was taken. Bur medical skill was
of no avail in his case, and on Tuesday evening
death put an: end to bis sufferings. He leaves a
wife and two children, who live some place on
Mill Ban, above town.
Cellar Thieves.—lt appears that some of
rhesus gentry are again in town, looking up eata
•des and fishing for a load of shot or. a lodging in
'he atone house in the town over-the-hill. We
hear of several slight depredations committed in
different parts of the town. Among others, they
visited toe tjellar and kitchen of the. Logan Iloyse
and carried- away various eatables and a pair of
■ I toots belonging toMr. L). Miller. Taking these
initiatory steps as a warning, it would be well for
<>ur citixens to look to their door and window fast'
eninga, and,Test these should fail, it would not
come amiss to have a well loaded revolver or shot
gun close! at hand.
Askcai. Convehesce.—By announcement in
toe Cirittiaf Advocate and Journal, we learn the
Annual Meeting of F East Baltimore Conference,
**®to°di»t Episcopal Church,' will convene in |
'his place on toe 2d of March next, and be pre-
T®, over by Bishop Janes. As the coming ses
ston will be one of peculiar interest, Inasmuch as
