Ed at Montgomery, Ala., of robberies com j uiitted upon the Adams Express Company, : oi' which he was agent, to the amount of 1 §53,000. He planned his roguries so I adroitly and secured his spoil so successful | ly that, although suspected and discharged, i it took lull ten months ol constant sur veillance by a skilful detective and a most I ingeniously contrived series ol plots to get j proof against him, aud to recover the mon i ey. The exposure was so perfect that he | dually pleaded guilty, and received the I sentence of ten years imprisonment in the Alabama Penitentiary. The police agent, to whom theaftair was i intrusted, was one Allen Piukcrton, a de tective policeman in Chicago. He was sent for, and had the full confidence of the company, who, having paid the money, were extremely anxious to punish the luith less agent, and if possible to recover tbe §SU,UUU, which they felt convinced lie hud parted with. The detective accomplished this with a skill and perseverance, a fertility of re sources, fatuity of disguise and immovable tenacity of purpose which excite wonder jas we read. 'The rogue and his accom i pliee were hunted backward and forward, j through a circuit ot thousands ol miles ol j travel; every moment, from day today,ev j ery night watched and noted. Spies were j set about them in their most confidential j hours; their intimates were pressed into the service against thorn; and finally a de tective brought into contact with the rogue, under such circumstances as to gain his confidence, be accepted as a counsellor, and obtain actual possession of the money l in trust. If we had read such a story in the memoirs of Vidocq, we should have thought it a romantic exaggeration. It is, however, reality, and exhibits the degree ot acuteness to which the intellect may be sharpened by incessant devotion to the pursuit. The Chicago policemau has so thoroughly mastered the theory and prac tice of roguedom that it must be a blessing to the community that he never turned ro ,, ue himself. He who knows well all so the weak Doints where tbe rascals open themselves \o detection would be the most dangerous of men, if had not made him honest. As it is, this story will make him famous, and a special terror to all thieves. , Maroney stole the money fn?m th e pri vate pouch of the Express Company— ten thousand dollars at one time, forty thous and it another, and we believe three thous and at another. The ten thousand dollars were employed in the purchase ol cotton in South Carolina. The forty thousand dollar package was put in a box, and sent THURSDAY, AUGUST 2, 1860, by express to Galveston, in Texas, under a fictitious name. It remained there till April, when it was ordered to Natches. He went there for it, took it to Montgom ery aud secreted it. Maroney had a wife, or rather lived with a woman whom bo made his wife during these affairs, who was his confederate. —- £she went North, anu took up her residence in Jcnkintown in Pennsylvania, with a brother-in-law. She came south, and got the money, and had it buried in her brutli er-in law's cellar. All her movements, day by (lay, from Montgomery, to New York, to Jcnkintown, and while there, and back again to Montgomery, end to New York, were supervised hour by hour. Women with whom she became acquainted, were engaged to watch, and to direct her move ments as the police agent desired. When the evidence was strong enough Maroney was arrested and put iu Eldridge street jail. A fictitious arrest was made, and one oi I'iukerton's agents was placed in prison with him, aud a lung history is made of the process by which Maroney was liiade to confide iu this Mr. , confes sing the robbery, and where the money was, and engaged his aid to get up a defence, and to dispose of the money. The vari ous artifices by which Maroney was led to these disclosures, tbe disguises and tricks by which the wife was induced to give up the money to the police agent; the contri vances by which, for several months after, and until the trial of Maroney, and Mr. Blank continued to be the confident of the deceived rogue, form a long chapter iu the history. Maroney was made to believe that tlie money was safely put away lor him. Every thing he did was under the advice of his prison friend, until on the ar rival at Montgomery, when he was sent under an Executive requisition, to be tried on the indictment, he was confronted in Court by his bosom counsellor as a police detective. He immediately caved iu aud pleaded guilty. It is one of the most remarkable cases in the history of American detective po lice. The Mail states that the number of per sons employed by Mr. l'inkerton averaged about eight or ten and that the distance traveled by them during that time was not less than fifty thousand miles. The Golden Kingdom. Pike's Peak and Denver City. —When ninety miles from Denver you can plainly sec the snow-capped peaks of the Rocky Mountains, lifting their silvery heads heav en ward. As you approach nearer, each range becomes more and more distinct; the snowy range in the background stretching to the North and South, as far as the eye can reach. A grander, a more sublime, more >h eating scene never met the gaze of man—the Eternal Jehovah's great line fence between the two oceans —the Rocky Mountains. Deuver City is situated at the junction of Cherry Creek, with the Platte, fifteen miles from the foot of the mountains, and contains about five thousand inhabitants— a regular wide awake town —doing more business than any other town of its size in the I uion. The future of Denver City cannot be but bright. iSlie mu.-t always be the head quarters for all this vast mining region.— It is there the hungry miner and the moun tain merchant must go for supplies. There are good hotel accommodations at Denver, many first class buildings, and hundreds more going up with a rapidity truly aston ishing, even to one accustomed to western growth. Professional gentlemen are nu merous. Professional gamblers the most so. Here is a specimen of a sign standing out quite prominent upon one of the most fashionable streets: 'A. A. Smith, attor ney at law,' while upon the same shingle —in bold letters—is the following : ' Wash ing and ironing neatly done here—three dollars per dozen.' Leaving Denver, we approach the moun tains over a beautiful valley prairie, pas sing through Golden City, a smart little town on Clear Creek, containing from five to six hundred inhabitants. Passing on ward a half mile we come to Golden Gate, a very appropriate name, as it really guards the pass to all this mining region. Here we pay our toll (one dollar.) Twenty-five miles of up mountains, down mouutains, over rocks and uuder rocks, brings you to Gregory or Mountain City, the very last place you would ever expect to find a city, and the very last city you would ever ex pect to see in such a place. Crowded in to a narrow ravine, so narrow that the wa ter is badly squeezed in trying to pass be tween two high mountains for five miles — are huts, shanties, log cabins, tents, (and several decent houses) in every conceiva ble style of architecture. Mountain City and its suburbs, (which embraces all the gulch and quartz mining country for five miles around) contains at the present time from tu-cnty to txcenty-Jive thousand inhabitants. The mouutains are literally covered with gold hunters. — Much has been said relative to the wealth of the mines, nor do I think it has been exaggerated, save now and then by some trader or agent for some traveling line, for the purpose of creating a momentary ex citement. There are new discoveries being made daily The mines are doubtless very rich, and, as yet, in their infancy. The quartz lodes generally run from northeast to south west, over or alongside of the mountains, and their locality is generally determined by peculiar rocks, culled ' biossoui rocks,' a species of honeycomb quartz of a bluish red color j where these indications, and a thousand others, (unknown to anybody save old miners, and hardly to them) are found, you may reasonably expect to find gold-bearing quartz, if you go deep enough. I The crevice or lode, is from one to three ! inches, and sometimes six lectin width; and if you find it by going twenty to twen- I ty-five feet, you are doing well. The quartz is usually of a softer nature than the rock on either side; in fact, much of it is so soft, and so much decayed, that it is washed or pounded the same as in gulch diggings. The great difficulty here is not j to crush the quartz, but to save the fine ; gold when once pulverised. Cor, Miluuu kcc ftcntijirf, Express Robbery by Highwaymen. Entertaining At count of the Erocecd- I iugs. —The ban Francisco llerald gives ■ the subjoined account of the robbery re- j cently committed by four highwaymen, on \\ ells, Fargo and Co.'s Express, near Chico, ; in Butte county, California. The sum ob- j taincd was §35,000. The outrage was Committed at about nine j o'clock in the evening. The night was dark, and as the stage was emerging from ; a wood, and about to descend into a creek, j the bed ot which was dry, some person i ahead of the coach called on the driver, in i a loud voice, to stop. The driver suppos- j ing that a team or some other obstruction j was iu the way, suddenly reined in his ! horses. On looking around somewhat j to his astonishment, he discovered two men, ' with double barreled guns leveled at the ! passengers on the box scat, and another j covering the four or five persons inside, i The captain of the gang, with cocked revolver in his hand, stepped up to the | driver and informed him in a clear and j cool voice that he must have the money in j the treasure box, and then turning to JNIr. j Jiowen, the express messenger, said, 'Char- j ley, it will he of no use to resist. Nobody shall be harmed, if you dont make any fuss. And, in the meantime,' pursued the high wayman, 'gentlemen will be kind enough to hold up their hands.' It is not neces sary for us to say that the passengers drop ped the reins, and each man's lingers point ed instantly to heaven. ' Now, then, Char ley/ said the robber, ' I must have your pistol to prevent accidents/ and he proceed ed to disarm the expressman, notwithstand ing the outraged man's remonstrances. As the robber took the pistol, with a naive affectation of surprise and ominous shake of the head, he said, ' Why, Char ley the pistol is actually cocked. Don't be foolish, Charley.' Thereupon Charley immediately subsided with the remark that it was very hard that he should be treated in such a manner. 'Not at all, Charley/ answered the robber; ' I am not robbing you —you cannot help yourself- —but your company advertise that they have a capital stock of §500,000, and 35,000 to divide among the boys would not be missed, you know.' liy way of mortifying Charley's feelings, the highwayman politely assured him upon his honor 'as a gentleman' that lie was not a murderer, and did not desire to take a dollar from any person then pres ent. At this time Mr. McDuffie suggested that there existed no absolute necessity for the strange gentleman's friends on the road to persist in holding their guns in so direct a line with his head, as lie had known men under such circumstances sutler from nervous excitement, and although he could not doubt of their peaceful assurances, or the honesty of their intentions, if the trig gers chanced to be finely set, an explosion might take place unconsciously. There upon the robber bowed very politely, and expressed his desire to make the interview as pleasant a one as possible, and directing his men to elevate their pieces, but still to keep the enemy 1 well covered.' After this he unhitched the horses, fastened them securely to a fence near by, declining, in affectionate language, the assistance of the ii ~ driver, and drew from the stage the box of treasure. lie was about to split open the box with j au axe, when be remarked to Charley that it would be a pity to spoil the furniture, and asked for the key. Observing some hesitation and grumbling on the part of the messenger, lie brought forward a bun dle of cord and expressed the opinion that it would be necessary for him to tie Charley, as he was talking a great deal too much. ' What would you give to know me (his face was masked,) Cliarle}* ?' he asked. ' Two-and-a-half,' was the sullen reply. ' Ah, your liberality will be the death of you/ replied the highwayman, who then very coolly opened the treasure box, filled the pockets of his comrades with the con- i tents, placed Charley's pistol in the bed of the coach, fastened uorses again to the 5--ge, expressed the delight he experienced in meeting with gentlemen ff ' no were s0 unexceptionable in their deportment, and bade a graceful adieu. 'The robbers then left lor the woods.

Ou the Indiana and Cincinnati Rail road a pleasure party rode a short distance, when they alighted, and stood around on the small platform, completely covering it, waiting to see the cars move before leaving for the woods. Just as the train started, the skirt of one of the young ladies, who happened to be standing close to the train, j caught 011 a nut on the side of the cars, throwing her from her feet. A'erv fortu nately the train was moving quite slowly 1 at the time, or the consequences might j have been more serious. As it was *he was pretty roughly used. A stout man in the party, seeing her condition, at once raised her in his arms, and pulled with all his strength, endeavor- j itig to tear her loose, but the skirt was both ! strong and firmly fastened, and not until i all her under clothing was polled from her body, and her dress torn to shreds, did he succeed. All this transpired while the train was moving a distaucc of twenty or thirty feet, when the conductor saw the danger and instantly checked its motion. ; Indeed, the girl was not entirely released until the train had stopped. After the excitement of the moment had passed, it | was discovered that the soles of both her ; shoes, by the resistance she had offered the ' train, had been completely stripped away, leaving the uppers upon her feet. Strange to say, she escaped any serious injury.— f>he was immediately encircled by a num ber of her female lriends, who conveyed ; her to the village, where her wants were properly attended to. Terrible Calamity in Minnesota. It is with the utmost regret that we lay before our readers an account of one ofthe most terrible calamities that has ever hap pened in Minnesota. It appears, from the information we have received, that on the sth inst., at 8 P. M., the Rev. Mr. Nichols, pastor of the Con gregational Church at Minneapolis, his wife and child (a boy of thirteen years) accompanied by Mr. Cleveland, his broth er-in-law, and his two daughters, aged re spectively eleven and thirteen years, went to Lake Calhoun for the purpose of bath in °\ The two gills of Mr. Cleveland went in to the Lake first, and unfortunately ven tured out of their depth. The boy went to their assistance, but the girls clinging to him drew him out of depth, and as they all appeared to be perishing, -dr. Cleve land went to their assistance. He, too, was soon drawn into deep water, and as he was unable to swim, it appeared that he would soon drown with the children. Air. Nicols then went to the rescue. He ven tured as far as he could, maintaining his tooting, which, however he soon lost —cal- ling to his wife to take hold of his hand. She resolutely obeyed the summons, clasp ed his hand in hers, and terrible to relate, she was drawn in and the whole party per ished together. Airs. Cleveland and an infant child of Mr. Nieols were the only survivors of this sad calamity. There was 110 boat near, and 1 Airs. Cleveland had the dreadful affiietiou 1 of witnessing her husband and two child ren, sister and brother in-law, and his child perish before her eyes. The bodies were all recovered on Thursday night, with life extinct. — St Paul Times, July 7. Fishing fir Sharks. A correspondent ol the Baltimore Amer ican, writing from Cobb's Island, near Cape Charles, speaks of that place as a most de lightful resort for bathing, gunning, and fishing, and illustrates the latter as fol lows : During my visit in this pleasant place, 1 made one of a party who determined to seek larger game than even a strong pulling sheepshead fish. Nothing less than the capture of a shark would satisfy us. Eu irajiiii"' the services of Air. Albert Cobb, © O C 5 # # ' who, like all the islanders, is an experien ced fisherman, aud taking with us also Air. Thomas Spady, we anchored our boat in a ■channel some sixty feet deep, The shark lines were not out long before a gentleman from Richmond announced, not only oral ly, but by being nearly drawn overboard, that he had hooked a fish aud needed as sistance. Mr. Cobb stood quietly by and let the gentleman do the work of pulling the fish to the surface, when he saw that they had hooked a monster, which came up tail foremost, and would soon have stove the boat had not Air. Cobb's knowledge ofthe ! animal suggested great prudence in this j case. The gentleman " played" with the j shark for some fifteen minutes, if under going the hardest labor they ever encount ered coulu be called " playing," when Air. Cobb took a favorable opportunity tothurst a spear into the lungs of the fierce sea ti ger. At the first touch of the weapon, the lashing ofthe sea with the powerlul tail of j the fish filled the air with spray, and the fish darted to the bottom, soon to be pulled to the surface again for auother blow from the lance. A-bcdt lorty stabs rendered the shark sufficiently quiet to allow himself to be lashed alongside tbe boat, and the hook to be cut from his mouth, an operation re quiring some care and skill. Not content with this capture, we soon IOOK another, but much smaller oue—say about six feet Ion" which gave us comparatively but ht tie trouble. The large shark, (of the spe New Scries—Vol, XIV, No. 38, cies usually termed a man eater ) when hauled Ujion the shore by the united ef forts of eight men. was found to measure twelve feet in length. His body was as large round as a flour barrel, and his jaws opened twenty-one inches across, being of sufficient capacity to take iu easily a large man. The gentleman who hooked the monster has taken the jaws to Kichuiond, where lie will no doubt show it to his friends with pride and pleasure. Punishment of a Cxuel Father. It will be remembered that some time since we published a notice that a citizen of the Fourth Ward was in the habit of maltreating his family, and beating one of his chikhen, for whom he appeared to have an especial dislike, so that the screams of the little sufferc couid be heard throughout the neighborhood, leaving the marks of the horsewhip he used upon the body, so that they were visible for several days afterwards lie was waited upon a number of times by those living near, and remonstrated with for his cruelty, lie promised everything, but when iu an ill humor would abuse his family, knock the child down and beat it until senseless. — Forbearance having ceased to be a virtue, a committee waited upon him iu the even ing about ten o'clock, after be had retired, and requested him to dress himself and step outside, as some important business was to be transacted. Suspecting nothing he came out, was immediately seized, gag ged, thrown upon the ground, his clothes stripped from his person, and a stout man with a leather strap gave him a taste of the punishment he was so ready to inflict upon his child. A physician was in the party, who felt the pulse of the brute, and" allowed the executioner to lay on as long as he thought it could be borne without endangering the life of the prisoner. Af ter he had received a just reward lor his cru city he was liberated, and informed that il he did nut wish to have a repetition of the punishment the sooner he left the city t lie better for him. Acting upon the sugges tion he left the next morning, and has not been heard from since.— Lafayette (lud.) ■Journal, 'Jufy 11. Jltmblc Murder <f a Slave.- —The Clarksville (Va.) Tobacco Plant says: In telligence has reached us through au thentic sources, that on the 4th instant, Charles Hudson whipped to death his ne gro woman .lane, on his plantation in this, county, about one mile from Drumrigbt'e store. On Wednesday morning, at 8 o'clock, he tied her up to a tree in the field lor chastisement —stating at the time to his overseer that she had resisted him, and had undertaken to fight him. She was tied for three hours, and the whipping con tinued at intervals during the time. About eleven o'clock, the overseer, who had been in sight at a different part of the field, re turned to the spot and suggested that the woman had better be untied, which was ac cordingly done. In an hour afterwards the woman was found a corpse —lying but a short distance from the place of her pun ishment. An investigation will be had in relation to the matter.
