Robbery and Singular Developments, On Wednesday night, 27th ult., the room of H. S. PHIXNEY of Monrocton, in Keudig's Hotel, Middletown, was entered, his trunk forced open, aud S3OOO in bills taken there from, the burglars leaving SSOO in gold in the truuk, and a considerable amount of money which was in his pantaloons pocket, which es caped their notice. The only clue yet discov ered of the perpetrators of this daring affair, is contained in the singular developments caus ed by the occurrences stated below : [From tbe Lancaster Times, June I.J Thursday morning as the Express Mail Train going west, was nearing llarrisbnrg, and when within a mile of Bryant nndLonge necker's furnace, it ran over two men, killing one instantly and so badly iujuring the other that he died soon after without having spoken a word or giving the least signs of conscious ness. The accident occurred about daybreak ; tbe two men were walking on the track in the di rection of Ilarrisburg, on the down track, and seeing a freight train approach, they stepped on to the other track with their backs toward the approaching mail train, which was withiu fifty yards of them at the time ; the engineer saw their danger, and blew the whistle, but was too near upon them to avoid the accident; the next moment the eugine struck them, the result of which was as described. Immediate ly upon the mail train arriving at Harrisburg, a car was despatched containing the Coroner and a jury and help, to bring in the mangled bodies. On arriving at tbe scene of the acci dent, an inquest was held, and a verdict re turned in accordance with the above facts.— On searching the bodies the name of one, Fitz gerald, was discovered, as also a roll of notes in their possession to a very large amount ; an auger aud a chisel, as also a bunch of pick lock keys. On discovering the money, the coroner thought from this and their respectable appea rance, that it was but due to them to give them a decent coffin ; accordingly two very nice coffins were ordered and their remains de posited therein, to the credit of the notes, which, " lo and behold," on being presented at the Bauk were declared to be all counterfeit! At the time of the accident, two boats were passing the spot, in different directions, on the canai which is there in close proximity, aud parallel with the railroad ; and the captain of the up boat was observed to holloa to the men, and failing to make them hear, he at tempted to jump ashore across the other boat, but slipping between, was badly injured ; the boat, however, proceeded on its journey. . Upon the arrival of the express freight train at Middletown yesterday morning, it was discovered that a shoe store iu that neighbor hood had been broken open aud a quantity of boots and shoes taken therefrom. The per sons connected with the store imagining that the burglars might have gone on to Harris burg, proceeded by the Express freight to that Borough, and on their arrival, heard of the above mentioned accident. When the facts of the burglary at Middle town became known to the police, and the na ture of the implements found on the strangers was mentioned to the proprietors of the shoe store, a unanimous conclusion was come to that the unfortuuate men were the depreda tors, and were walking to Harrisburg, after committing the deed ; and, moreover, the anx iety of the boatman excited suspicions that the booty might be on board the boat that had gone np the canal. Accordingly two things were immediately concluded upon, first ; to examine the premi ses broken into, and compare the marks made with the implements found, and on so doing it was discovered that the chisel found in the deceased's possession, was, undoubtedly, the one which had been used to break ojieu the store ; pursuit of the boat was theu determin ed ou, and the Middlctown officers proceeded immediately on the track, and have probably by this time, satisfied themselves of their sus picions. The bodies of the uufortuuatc men were buried on Friday. (From the Harrisburgh Herald, June Ist.) We stated in Saturday's issue that additional developments would be made relative to the two men killed on the Railroad at Highspire. The fact is now fully established that for Gome weeks previous to the accident which resulted in their death, these men had been re sidents of our town, and occupied one of Mr Colder's houses in North street, opposite the Cotton Mill. The circnmstauces which led to this discovery, and to the subsequent develop ment of more important and startliug facts, was detailed to us Saturday by our efficient Coroner, Dr. W. Barr. It appears that on Friday afternoon, a fe male called at the office of the Coroner, and asked him of he knew the men who had beeu killed on the Railroad. She seemed to be in great distress, shed tears freely, and said she feared than one of them was her husband. iShe handed the Coroner a daguerreotype likeness and requested to know if it resembled either of the dead men. Without waiting for a reply, she asked if their clothing had been preserved and if so whether she could see it. The Cor oner at once submitted the clothing to her in spection, and the moment she saw it she be came excessively agitated, and exclaimed "that is poor George's and that is poor Char ley's 1" —and immediately sank into a chair and fainted. After a short time the woman recovered, when she made a secoud examina tion of the clothing and identified every arti cle. She conversed very freely with the Cor oner in regard to herself—stated that one of the men was her husband, and his name Wil liams—that she was from Turbetville, North umberland county, in this State, aud that she had been living with her husband and his com panion in North street, opposite the cotton mill. Coroner Barr, satisfied from previous developments that the dead men had been counterfeiters and burglars, and that the wo man knew more than she chose to disclose, de termined to search the house ; and immediate ly after the woman's departure he called in officer Newman, and the two visited the house for that purpose. During the process of the search they fonud a quantity of mills aud met al drills and files, punches and ladles, a varie ty of other acids, saws and chisels, augers, and a variety of other implements used for coun terfeiting and burglariouspurposes—also a lot of unfinished counterfeit coin. The discover ies made fully established the fact that the business of counterfeiting had been carried on extensively in the house. A lady who resides in the same block in formed the Coroner that whilst he was engag ed searching tbe upper rooms, the womau previously alluded to carried out a quantity of metal of some kind, and other articles, and threw them into the privy. Numerous inter esting documents were discovered, containing the names of individuals evideutly members of regularly organized gang of counterfeiters and burglars aud horse thieves, extending from the city of Philadelphia all over our State, and to Nebraska aud California. It was also discov cred by an examination of the documents that the man known here as Vickroy, was no less distinguished a personage thau the widely known Horse Tamer and Traiuer, G. W. Dries bach, ot Cherokee county, Texas, alias Geo. Vickroy, Douglass, &c. This fellow it is sup posed, was oue of the ring-leaders of the gang above alluded to. The other man, the wo man claimed as her hnsband—she said his name was Williams, and that he had never assumed any other. But papers found-during the search showed that his name (or oue of his names) was George liussel. It will be recollected that the names of Doug lass and Russel occurred frequently in the pa pers and letters found upon persons of these two men. Various other pa|ers aud letters are in possession of the Coroucr,which will no doubt soon lead to further and more startling developments, aud the implication of certain parties in this couuty and the counties of Ly coming, Northumberland, Columbia aud Mon tour. The woman (Mrs. Williams as she call ed herself,) left very suddenly and unexpectedly on Friday evening, in the train for Philadel phia. Just before getting into the omnibus, she was seen to raise one of the stair steps, take out a quantity of something resembling coin, and hurriedly thrust it into her trunk. When informed of this fact the Coroner has tened in pursuit of the woman, but the cars were gone and the bird had flown 1 On Snt turday morning he telegraphed to the Phila delphia authorities, stated the circumstances described the woman, and suggested the seiz ure and search of her trunk. U hat the re sult was we have not learned. MONTHLY REPORT OF A POSTMASTER. —The following letter was received a few days ago by President BUCHANAN, as a monthly re{K)rt from a j>ost office in the west : . CRAWFORD CO., MO., April 20, 1857. —Mr. BUCHANAN— Dear Sir: Mr. is the Post master at this place and he is gone out West, and has been gone for three or four weeks, and lie has no deputy here, but 1 have been opening the mails and attending to it since he has been gone, as he left the key with me, and the Postmaster told me that I must make a report at the end of every month, and did not tell me who I was to write to but I suppose it is you we should make our reports, as we are all citizens of the Government of which you are now President. If you are not the right one to receive the report, please drop me a few lines, letting me know who I am to report to, and I will write again. REPORT AT THE END OF APRIL. —The wea ther is cold for the season—provisions scarce and very high—but notwithstanding all that, we have regular mails once a week, good health, and, the people of this country arc uni versally pleased with your Administration ; this is all I know that would interest you ; if there is anything omitted in my last rejiort, please let me know. My best respects to you and Mrs. Buchanan. frif The President lias again selected a man for the Governorship of Utah, whose name is officially concealed until it shall be known whether he will accept the appointment. It is deemed probable that Col. Camming would have accepted the appointment had it been tendered. The frequency to the refusals to occupy this office appear to have made them fashionable, and we shall not at be surprised if this new seleclion of the President will be as summarily treated as were the others.— Hence the caution to conceal the name from the newspaper reporters. When a Governor has been obtained, attention will be directed to procuring two new Judges at Utah to fill vacancies, and also a United States Marshal and a Superintendent of Indian Affairs. The Govemorjiimself will have to act as Superiuteu dent of Mormon Affairs. A report was cur rently believed in Washington last cveniug that lion. P. F. Thomas, ex-Governor of Mary land, is the person whom the Governorship of Utah is now tendered, and that he will ac cept. LANDLORD'S DUTlES. —Before annoucing the licences granted by the Court on Wednesday morning, says the llarrisburgh Daily Tc/e --grrph, Judge Pearson proceeded to make some preparatory remarks, explaining the du ties of laudlords. He stated that they were bound to accommodate all persons who asked for it, so long as they had room ; that it made difference if the applicant was a person of mis trustful appearance—taverns were regarded by the law as places of accommodation of trav elers, and their proprietors had no right to turn them away, no matter whether they thought them able to pay for their lodgings or not. His Honor said that this was clearly the object of the law, and no license would hereafter be granted where it was known that this part of the landlord's duty had not been complied with. These remarks created no little excitement among the tavern keepers present, many whom expressed themselves in objectional terms against the view taken by the Judge. If this be the true intent of the law—and it doubtless is—there has a wide diversion of it here ofore. ARROINTMEXTS BY THE PRESIDENT.—"WiI liam A. Richardson, of Illinois, Governor of the Territory of Nebraska, in place of Mark W. Izard, the present incumbent. Joseph A.

COMMISSIONER, WAX. XVEXXiXiWAXID, of Philadelphia. FOR JCIHJES OF THE SI'PIIEME COL/RT, JOSEPH J. LEWIS, of Chester Co JAXUXSS VEECH, of Fayette County. Gov. WALKER'S INAUGURAL. —A brief synop sis of Gov. Walker's Inaugural Address to the people of Kansas is telegraphed from St. Louis. It is a long, conciliatory and persuasive document. It recognizes all Territorial en actments, and says all constitutional lawsshull be executed. It urges all parties to partici pate in the election, and believes the Conven tion will form a Constitution which will suit the people, and does not believe that Congress will reject it. It earnestly impresses the necessity of re moving the Slavery agitation from the Ilalls of Cougrcss and Presidential elections, and says Slavery will ultimately be determined by the law of climate. It is this law now operat ing for and against Slavery in Kansas. In the event that Slavery does not exist in Kan sas, it says she has constitutional duties to her sister States, especially to Missouri, and trusts the Constitution will contain clauses forever securing to that State all constitutional guar antees, both by Federal and State authority, and supremacy within her own limits by the authority of the Supreme Court of the United States. It says that if this question is decid cd peacefully, he sees for Kansas an immediate career of sure progress and prosperity, unsur passed by history ; but thut if violence, injus tice and fraud reigns, history may be compel led to record the fact that Kausas was the grave of the American Uniou. Ife®- Mr. E. A. SMITH, whose injury by fal ling from the tender of a locomotive on the N. Y. & E. 11. R., we noticed week before last, died from the injuries received on Mon day, Ist instaut. llis remains were brought to this place for interment. The accident was caused by the engineer starting the train while Mr. SMITH was in the act of reaching the hose at the water-tank for the purpose of taking water. The sudden start threw him off his balance, and in jumping upon the wood in the tender, he struck upon a round stick which precipitated him before the wheels of the ten der two of which passed over his legs, break ing and crushing them badly. The brake also caused a severe wound iu the back. We be lieve that no blame is attached to the engineer. TEGR Judge LEAVITT, of Cincinnati, issued a writ of habeas corpus for the U. S. officers in jail iu Clark county, for assault upon the Sheriff of that county, and the prisoners were brought to that city. The examination com menced on Monday, but was adjourned for the production of affidavits by either party. It is probable the prisoners will be discharged by Judge LEAVITT, but this will not prevent their indictmeut by the Grand Jury of Clark coun ty, and their arrest for trial. fiaT-The Inaugural of Governor HAILE, of New Hampshire, who was inaugurated Thurs day, is a truly Republican document. Indus try, education, and the agricultural interests of the State are considered. It states that liquor law has been attended with the most favorable results. Increased banking capital is opposed, the DRED SCOTT decision protested against, and rendering pecuniary aid to the Free-State settlers in Kansas suggested— Much benefit is anticipated to result from this Republican State Government. Bigy-The National American Convention, at Louisville, adjourned sine die at a late hour on Wednesday night. ERASTUS BROOKS, the editor of the New York Express, offered a se ries of resolutions intended to convey the sense of the Convention on the various prominent subjects now agitating the public mind. Dur the discussion ou the resolutions, a most im portant assertion was made by a prominent delegate from Missouri, to the effect that the people of that State generally acknowledge that Kansas must be a Free State. FIRE AT THE WESTERN PENITENTIARY.—Tues day about 11 o'clock, a fire broke out in the Western Penitentiary, at Allegheny City.— The upper floor wa9 damaged, causing a loss of about SIOOO. None of the prisouers es caped. The fire originated in the flue at the roof of the building. THE GOVERNORSHIP OF UTAH. —It is current ly reported that ex-Governor Philip Frank Thomas has been offered, and will accept the Governership of Utah. AMERICAN* FIZZLE. —The straight American Convention held at Lancaster on the 3d was a miserable failure. But nine counties were represented. The following ticket was placed in nomination : Governor, ISAAC HAZLEHURST, of Philadel phia , Supreme Court, JACOB BROOM, of Phila delphia ; JOSEPH E. BRADY, of Allegheny ; Canal Commissioner, Mr. Linderman, of Berks, Gov. Geary's name was not presented to the Convention, he having sent a despatch declin ing a nomination for Governor. An election has recently been held in Min nesota for Delegates to the Constitutional Convention, and the returns from the south ern portion of the Territory indicate a Repub lican majority. The prospect that the new Constitution of that territory, prior to its ad mission as a state into the Union, will be im bued with the genuine spirit of Republicanism is as highly gratifying as tbo anticipation that a State, new-born and uncontaminated by strong partisan passions, will be added to the strongholds of the Republican party. a regular meeting of NAIAD FIRE COMPANY, NO. 2, on Saturday evening last, the following officers were elected for the en suing six months : Foreman —J. BILL MEANS. Is/ Ass I ! —CHARLES MERCUR. 2 d Ass't —CHARLES 11. ALLEN*. PIPEVMN —E. O. GILLISPIE. Secretary —JESSE A. WILSON*. T'rcusurcr —OSCAß A. BLACK. LATER FROM SAI.T LAKE.— The Leaxemcorth Herald learns from Mr. Williams, wlio left Salt Lake on April 15th, that there was great excitement at that place. Brigbam Young was carrying things with a high hand, and driving the Gentiles away. Judge Stiles, the U. S. Marshal, and the Surveyor General with his family and a large number of emigrants had beeu obliged to leave the Territory. HGI*. Hon. JOSEPH WILUAMS, of lowa, has been appointed Associate Justice of the Su preme Court of Kansas, aud CALVIN* F. BURNS United States Attorney for the Eastern Dis trict of Missouri. Wilmot, the Republican candi date for Governor in Pennsylvania, has issued a very able address to the people of that State on the issue now before the country. He is politically and mentically one of the strongest men in that State, greatly superior to any man they have had as Chief Magistrate since tin days of McKean aud Snyder. He has the ability of the former aud tirmucss of the lat ter, In his antecedents and from honest convic tion, Judge Wilmot is a decided democratic republican, and ten years since was one of the most influential leaders of the democratic par ty in that Commonwealth. Being a firm State rights man, he has opposed the exten tion and nationalizing of slavery, and the de mocracy of northern Pennsylvania have stood with him by their own principles, the old Jack son forces through the whole region giving large majorities for Fremont in the late presi dential election. These are strong and favora ble indications for the Republican cause in the Pennsylvania, and in making Wilmot their candidate they have displayed wisdom and sa gacity. The election of no other man would give greater satisfaction to the Republicans of the whole country.— Conn. I'ress. 6®°* A young girl liviug in Pottsville, Pa., rose at night to open her chamber window, and while iu the act her hand slipped and pass ed through a pane of glass, whereby an artery was cut at the wrist. She was not aware of the extent of the injury until she felt the warm blood streaming over her, when she opened door of her room and called for help. She soon fainted from the loss of blood, but by prompt measures on the part of the family, aud the efforts of a physician, her life was saved. KILLED.— The Wellsboro Agitator learns that a mau was killed at Blossburgh on Monday morning, by the accidental deseut of ajcar on the plane at thaPplace. The di aught rope parted when the car shot down the plane with fearful volocity for about a hundred feet, where it left the track and crushed the unfor tunate man to death instantly. 1&5&- When Macheon, the Greek Physician was slain, Homer said of him, " a good Phy sician is worth as much as a whole army." Then a good medicine like Ayer's Cathartic Piles, is worth a great deal more, because it cures as well, works wider aud lasts longer. The circle of the best Physician's labor must be narrow, while such a remedy is available to all—can be had by every body, and is worth having. A young man, named Cyrus Harmes, was caught in the machinery of the Eden Pa per Mill, near Lancaster, Pa., on Wednesday nfternoon last, and was so shockingly mangled that he died about midnight. NEW WHEAT. —At Augusta, Georgia, on the 30th of May, samples of new wheat, raised near that city, were exhibited, and it is said, looked exceedingly fine, although not dry enough for the mill. The wheat crop of Geor gia will be very heavj'. Harvest has already commenced. The report that $96,000 had been subscribed to buy a plantation for ex-Presi dent Pierce is contradicted by the Vicksburgh papers. Nothing of the kind, they say, has beeu done. jftaT It is 'stated that Gen. Walker's rea sons for visiting Washington, as understood in the fdlibuster circles at New Orleans, are to see the President and members of the Cab inet, to defend his course in Nicaragua, and to learn if the Administration sustains Cap tain Davis in assisting the Costa llicans of ridding him from the country. On Saturday morning the Postmaster Gen eral, opened the bids for carrying the over and California Mail—some thirteen or four teen in number. No decision will probably be made ou them for two weeks yet. Senator Wilson on Kansas. Senator WILSON, of Massachusetts, reached New-York on Thursday, in less than five days froni Kansas. The Tribune says be reports Kansas the most magnificent country on which lie ever gazed—fertile, accessible, and with just that happy diversity of slope and glade calculated to carry off the water readily, with out creating impediments to travel. The sea son is very late there, and, though the grass is now starting finely, the cattle are still thin and weak. The same is true of those coming iu from lowa. General WILSON traveled ex ; tensively iu the Territory, and rejoiced to see the evidences everywhere present of rapid set tlement and growth, to which the main draw back is the general madness of land specula tion. " Lots " and "claims" are held (uud often sold) at prices which seem exorbitant to the phlegmatic observer from the East, pre saging disappointment, and not improbably a crash. Just thiuk of SIO,OOO being asked for a building-lot in a city not yet four years old! Of course, meu have a right to value theif property as they see fit ; but when this leads | them to neglect the ways of plodding, daily | labor, and leave unplowed the fertile acres which they ought to till, but mean to sell, the deplorable consequences may justify an expres sion at least of regret. General WILSON does not underrate the dif ficulties and perplexities, the suares and pit falls, which environ the Free-State men, grow- I ing out of the Border-Ruffian fraud and usur pation of March 30, 1855, and the support since accorded thereto by the Federal Govern ment, but he is confident that their cautious but steadfast fidelity to principle must ulti mately be crowned with success. He thinks ; that, whatever a few hot heads may insist on, ; the wily leaders of the Pro-Slavery party iu 1 Kansas must by this time be satisfied that it |is no longer possible to make her a bona fide slave State—that the only result of earnestly persisting in that game will be to make her a more zealous and determined Free State. — Hence he judges that those leaders, after in dulging the slave-breeding interest by a great show of upholding the bogus Territorial au thorities, and protecting their farce of a Con | stitutional Convention, will quietly tnru their ; attention to their second-best project—that of making Kansas a Pro-Slavery Free-State of the California pattern. But the Free-State men are strong enough, with proper concert and organization, to defeat this scheme also | and render their State uot only free herself, I Gut a watch-tower and fortress of Freedom for all. ORIGIN OF TIIF. HOMICIDE OF ELDER PRATT. —C- G. AA'ard, city missionary of St. Louis, writes to the Republican the particulars of the conversion to Mormouism of the wife of Hec tor McLean, who the other day killed Elder Pratt. McLean and his wife, and a friend, happened one day, when residing in San Fran cisco, step in to hear a Mormon missionary who was preaching near their house. They had started to go to the church where they had been accustomed to attend, hut the streets were muddy, and they heard the Mormon.— To the surprise of all, Mis McLean was high ly pleased with tne discourse. Such was the first scene of the tragedy, the catastrophe of which was the fall of Elder Pratt by the pis tol bullet of her husband. DISCHARGED.—JAMES HENRY, who was ar rested at PIER'S Hotel, in Coming, ou suspi cion of having in his possession a span of sto len horses, and also for aiding the escape of RL'I.OFF from the Ithaca Jail, has been exam ined at Ithaca and discharged. The only evi dence which seemed to implicate him, or con nect the team and buggy with the escape of RCLOFF, was the testimony of several witnes ses, who saw the team standing on Lake st., Ithaca, on the evening of the sth i nst__J.bc night of RI LOFF'S was left at Corning the next morning by 8 o'- clock ; and that the team was very sweaty and seemed tired, and the buggy, &c., covered with mud. The horses are still held by Sher iff I VES as stolen property, though they have not yet been identified. MCRDER. —DanieI Hendricks, iu company with a man named Williams, left Lykenstown, Dauphin county, Pa., three weeks ago to cross the mountain to Gratztown. He was not seen afterwards until Monday last, when his dead body was found on the mountain. As AA'il liams had been seen with a watch which be longed to the deceased he was immediately ar rested. He declares that he purchased the watch from Hendricks. THE GRAIN PROSPECT. —The croaking about short crops and the graiu being winter killed, has, under the influeucc of seasonable showers and warm sunshine, giving place to more fa vorable reports of the growing grain. In Illi nois, where everything was rniued a month or so ago, there is the promise of an excellent crop. In Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky, there will be a larger crop of wheat harvested the coming harvest than ever before. Iu Tenne see there is a very large crop. In the South, with the exception of Virgnia, where the crop is poor, there is an excellent promise, and the indications are that both the cereal and fruit crops of the country,will be most abundant. In Delaware there will be great peach crops this season. TIIF. NKWRCRGH MYSTERY. —There has been another curious phase in the mysterious case which has occurred at Newburgh, New York. On Monday, before the Coroner's Inquest, Catharine Ashbcll, wife of the uegro Brown, who testified to her identity with that of the corpse, appeared in Conrt, to the great amaze ment of the jury and spectators present. This is the second time during the investigation that the murdered womau—or the one supposed to be murdered—has presented herself in Court, and astonished those who believed in her death. The case was closed, and the jury returned a verdict that an unknown woman had been murdered by unknown persons. The citizens of AVilliamsport, Pa., who started to found a AVilliamsport in Kansas, have returned. They did not like the Bor der Ruflian powers they encountered. Porter Davenport, a son of Stephen Daven port, of Union township, Luzerne county, was killed by a falling beam from his barn. Some graceless scamps robbed the Sun day school box of the English Lutheran Church AVilliamsport, hut fouud very little cash. It is stated that Geo. Peabody, the Lon dou bauker, has been to Danville, Montour county, and purchased the old Liberty Fur nace. I™ ' Kroa the Uni(a> of Tuertay i jTtoHiot in Washington, D .
