THE DOUBLE ROBBERY. Toward tlio close of tho last century Northumberland and the border were ter ribly inifestod by those to the bucolic mind particularly obnoxious specimens 1 ot tlio gums ttiici Known as "rivers, or "lifters of cattle." I Almost all the rascals who followed 1 thU not uulucrative profession trusted chiefly to mere bruto foreo to carry out! I successfully their nefarious schemes. J I There was, however, one exception to tlm rulo to bo found in the person of a celebra ted frccbotcr, known as "Dickey of Kings ! wood." This worthy openly expressed ' his disapprobation of his rivals' vulgar . niodo of following their profession, and ro ! psatedly boasted that ho could achicvo 1 twice as much by his cunning as they could j by their brute force. Nor was this asser tion of his empty boasting far from it. I In a few years' time Dickey's uame bo- I . 1 . . l ,1 - !.l - camo tlio terror 01 111c country btuc. io farmor'felt sccuro when ho retired to rest at night that his cattle might not have vanished beforo morning. So cleverly, moreover, wero all Dickey's enterprises couductcd, that no man could ever succeed in making personal acquaintance with him, He openly set justico at defiance, and laughed at the fertile efforts of law topun- !d. I.:.,. lf,vlifina linvrrivnr. f.lifi host wav jiauuiui. i vm,'-i - -1 to illustrato tho adroitness and good luck which characterized all Dickoy's proceed ings will bo for mo to relato tho story of ono of his csploits. It nppcars, then, that during tho course of his peregrin ations through Northumb erland, ono fine afternoon, Dickey's eyes were gladcncd by tho sight of a pair of fine oxen winch were quietly graz-ng in a field near Denton Hum, a villago distant thrco miles from New Castle. Determined to possess them, Dickoy hung about tho place till nightfall, watch ed whoro tho animals were driven to, and, his usual good fortuno assisting him spec, dily secured his prize. IIo also contrived by tho exoroiso of his accustomed cunning, fr, l Knob traces behind him as made tho owner of tho oxen certain that tho free booor had made off toward 1 weed. Thither ho accordingly proceeded in hot haste. In tlio intcrinen, however, Dickey had lost no tinio in "niakiug tracks' to ward tho west country, and so expeditious woro his movements that in n fchort time ho reached Lauorcost, iu Cumberland. Hero ho fell in with an eld farmer on horseback, who, being delighted with tho appearance of tho oxou, forthwith pur chased them, Dickoy was of cour3o rejoiced at getting rid so pleasantly of a chargo whioh could not fail to bo troublesome nay, possibly dangerous to him longer to retain. Tho farmer moreover, was mounted upon a splendid marc, which Dickoy, with his pe culiar ideas on tho subject of vuum and tcum at onco resolved by fair means or foul, to secure IIo thcrcforo willingly acceptod the farmer's hospitable invitation to accompany him to his houso in order that they might "crack" a bottlo of good who in honor to their baigain. Presently Dickey inquired of tho farmer if ho would sell him his maro ? "Sell you my marol" exclaimed his host all aghast at his proposition. "Sell my marc? No, tlinok you,' Why thoro's not her equal in tho whole north country!" ''I do not noubt it Mr. Mustgravo," re sponded Dickoy, "and from what I saw of her paces this morning, I am quito of your opinion that there's not her equal within a hundred miles of us : 13ut," add ed tho obscquions Dick, "siuco you will not sell her, I can only wish you a long life and good health to onjoy her." This sentiment was of course duly hon ored iu a bumper. "I hope, Mr. Musgravc,'' next observed Dickey, "that you keep a close look-out after your stable door, becauso now, where that rascal Dickoy of Kingswood is allow ed to be at liberty, a man oannot bo sure but that any Quo morning he may lind his stable empty." "Stable 1 ha 1 ha!" chuckled tho far mer. "I think," ho continued, "that Dicky Kingswood would find it rather dif ficult to steal my maro from tho stablo 1" "Indeed! where may her stable bo sit uated ?" inquired Dickey. "Her stable ! bless you sir!" her stablo is in my bed-room 1 I'm a bachelor, and so I fasten her to my bed post. I have had a manger put up for hor in tho room, and no music is so pleasant to mo as to hoar her grinding hercoru all night by my bedside. Dickey was astouaded as well he might be at such unheard-of precautions; but disguising his astonishment, hecoutcn ted himself by simply expressing himself to the farmer his hearty approval of tho means he adopted to secure tho safety of his favorite. "I suppose you have a good look on your bedroom door?" was Dickey's next feeler.' "Come with mo, and I will show it you,' replied the unsuspecting farmer. This was just what Dickoy wanted. lie examined tho lock carefully, and soon satisfied himself that ho could pick it with out muoh difficulty. He, however, de clared to Musgravo that it was just tho right sort of a lock ; "it couldn't have been bettor iu fact, it was quito non-pickablo," etc. Again tho cup passed round, and after draining a bumper to their 'next merry meeting' Dickey departed . The old farmer, after his guest's leave taking had been completed, carefully went the rounds of his house, locking doors and closing wiudows with all duo prccautiou. IIo then, as usual, tied his horse to her ac customed post, retired and was soon lulled to sleep by tho sound of his favorito grind ing her corn. So tho night woro away. Presently, as tho first gray streaks of day began to appear, Mr. Musgravo awoke, and fscliug very cold ami chilly, looked round to as certain tho cause. To his astonishment, ho found that all tho coverlets had boon taken off his bed and that his blankets had been spread out upon the floor. Jor what nurnoso? thought Mr. Musirravc. Was l l a w he tho victim of somo borriblo nightmare, or was ho really awake f Mechanically his eye glanced to tho spot whero his maro should have been. She was not there ! Sho was gone stolen 5 During tho night some daring thiof had broken into tho farm house, had picked the lock on tho door of tho bed-room, bad spread tho blankets over the floor, to that tho hoofs of tho maro should mako no uoiso, and had thus triumphantly made off with his prizo; Of course Mr. Musgravo roused his household, and commenced a vigorous search after the thief. It was useless. Tho dcspoilcr had left uo .traco bchiud him, and so Mr. Musgravo was obligod to return homo disconsolate, and to ooiitont himself with venting curses neither few nor far bqtwcen-r-upou tho thief. In tho moautiinu our friend Dickoy for his was tho deed was comfortably mouutod upon Mr. Musgravo's favorito mare, aud was every moment increasing tho distance botweeu her outraged owner and himself. So great wus iho speed of tho maro, that by tho break of day Dickoy folt himself secure from pursuit. IIo had directed his steps to the eastward, and whilo crossing Haltwhistlo Fell, whom should ho encounter but tho vcritab'.o ow ner of tho oxen ho had stolen two or thrco days before, nnd had just sold to Mr. Mus gravo 1 Dickoy know tho owner of tho oxen well, but, luckily for tho fresbooter, that injured individual did not know him. IIo thoroforc accosted Dickoy, and inqnircd if ho had seen any oxen in tho courso of his travels similar to thoso ho describod him self to Dick as being iu search of. "Why to bo suro I havo !" replied Dick ey; "with tho very samo marks as you ili.Kprilwrl . rn-nmis in Tr. Al na nvn inu I fc....b ... fa' ' fields at Jjancrcost, only yesterday. 1 was rather struck," ho continued, "by their appearance, aud learned, on inquiry, from ono of his sorvauts, that Mr. Mus gravo had purchased them just yesterday. Undoubtedly tho oxen are yours. 1 would ndviio you to go to Lancrcost at once and claim them. "Certainly I will," replied tho other. "Hut I am tired with hard walkiug, and it is a long way to Lanercost. I sco you rido a good beast. Will you sell her f " After sonto hard bargaining, terms were agreed upon, thepurchase money was paid down on the spot, and Dickey and tho far mer seporatcd ; tho farmer to seek his sto len oxen, actually from tho very owner of the stolen maro ho was himself riding, whilo Dickey proceeded "whero ho listed." Tho next daytho fanner reached Lan orcost and at onco recognized his own ox on grazing in tho field. IIo forthwith rode up to an elderly man standing near, whom ho judged to be tho owner of the field, and exclaimed : 'I say, friend, thoso aro my oxen in your field ! How may you have come by them I" "And I'll be hanged replied tho other (after taking a long, astonished look at the on which his questioner was mounted,) ''if that's not my maro you ate riding ! Ilow may you have come by her, pray ?" Each ot course described the person from whom they had respectively pur chased the oxen and the maro ; and when this was done, they discovered tliey had indeed been "sold'1 by a rogue of no com mon order. So laughable did the joke appear oven to those who had to ''pay tho piper" in tho affair that neither party could prevent breaking out in a peal of merriment when tho particulars were fully disclosed. It was now clear that tho only way to fettle- tho affair was for each party to take back his own property. Muravc was of course overjoyed at tho recovery of hisfa vorito mare and the Denton Durn farmer benig equally delighted at the recovery of Ins oxen, it fell out tuat, m tho general burst of rejoicing, Dickey was allowed to quietly pocket the sale money of both mare and oxen. Whethor Dick ultimately camo to an untimely end, or whether ho reformed his ways, and died, duly "shrived," in his own bed, history tcllcth cot. Certain it is howcAor, that to this day his deeds aro "household words" in many parts of Northumberland, and tho nientiou of his namo among tho peasantry is con sidered synonymous wih "cuteucss. Correspondence. For the Columbia Democrat. Mrt. Editor : In looking over that nio?t vilo Abolition sheet of your town, hod long since, I noticed that some sap head, whoo intellect to judgo by his wri ting, must bo very limited, has taken a position in defense of Mr. 15. A. Sharretts, against an urticlo iu tho iSVr, that was written by a Piahingcreoker which was perused by him to havo been made against Mr. S. J havo giveu some comments on it for which if you permit space in the columns of your valuable paper, may 6how to thoso who road, tho narrow contracted mind it cmiuntcd from, iXow, f-iuco that article in tho Star, was not personal and sinco there wero othir addresses made uear tho town of Itohrs burg by different persons what roason more had this friend to Ministers as ho styles himself to tako offense and to seek vengeauco through tho Alrtcan j1UI, tUo Negro's dwelling place thau any other per- sou. This friend to Ministers says ho would not havo written in opposition to (I1U V IdllinguruuKur Uiiu it 11 uo uuuu iur iuu injury it might havo done Mr. B., whero ho was not known. Hero bis miud was too limited, for siuco that urticlo in tho Stur was not personal how could it havo dono him harm whero ho was not known 1 Hut you know whon a dog is hurt it howls. would hero advice "long-uoso" to keep his fly-trap chut hereafter.

The following, from a correspondent, is sensible and sharp, a littlo too sharp, wo suspect, on G ovcrnor Curtiu. Whilo wo havo no doubt of tho existence of tho abu ses spoken of, wo aro reluctant to beliovo that they woro winked at by, or oven known to, the Governor. To the Editor ef the mia. leering Journal! Under the head of "Tho Draft and tho Exempts," is given tho report of a largo meeting in Spring Garden, the meeting being of thrco months' volunteers, who claim exemption from being subject to tho "Draft." A member stated that it waa apparent that eonipotent military mon aro obliged to po without a command, whilo prclerenco is given to men ignorant of mil itary duties ; that competent persons who had gone to Ilarrisburg, had been ignored aud ''almost been told plainly or given to understand that if thoy de.ircd to bo com missioned thev must nnv fnr !( ' 'I'I.Sj j J j - - - Ul. " 1. be proved before a Committco of tho Legis lature n it is ucmcu oy "tuo powers that be." I will stato that I addrcjscd, by Icttor Governor Curtiu, two or thrco times, ofl'or- inT 111V services to orrranisn n rnirimont Lbrigade, of volunteers. I offered to equip, in, my own expenses, a regiment ol cavalry. I received harillv n rnnrtni.ua ronlv uo,.!,,,. there was no requisition for any more troops wucnin ice:, iur. uurtin was constantly reccivinir coiniyimcs at TTarriilmi-tr fnr mii. O i - - j w itary instruction and to bo organised into regiments, inecoinpauy ofliccrs, many of them, were enabled to raiso companies by having to pay whipper.i in or commis sion brolceis, who had the back stairs entre or negotiated with the magnates at so much cash for caoh sheepskin which authorized strops and cockfoathcrs to bo mounted ; for a consideration of from one hundrod to live hundred dollars, paid for lieutcnan ci?s and oaptaincics, and to a thousand or moro for chaplains, surgeons, majors, lieut enant colonel aud coloneloioa. When theso wero given, then the com panies wero organized into regiments, if tho men so appointed could not hand over tho cash cr bonus, they agreed to pass over to tho manager their orders or mouthly pay accounts for tho purohaso money. Many of tho officers, strapped and feathered on trust by the tailors have been working, as tliey say in tho army, for a dead horse, ever sinco, as tho pur ohaso of their commissions absorbed from two to five months, pay and emoluments. Siuch traasactions every ri ht minded man would say aro infamous. Thojo who ex acted such commissions aro a disgrace to tho position they hold, and only such per sons as aro insensible to common solf respect, and totally unfit to bo placed iu positions requiring educated minds, and experienced, if nossihln. In pni nr nnm maun soiuiers iu war, would be guilty of ...11,- . ... men uuiiuuui.. All tho miserablo business would Ii.ivm bneTi avoided, at lean, tho corruption of it and most of the disasters that havo fallen upon our gallant volunteers, had a Military iu.u-u ueeu oruercu by tuo Secretary of War, of two recul ar ai'mv ofTlnors fnl.-nn from tho list of roiirod officers, to attend at nxcu places ot r ndczvous in tho several States, and examine tho fin Id nffli-nra nml captains as to oapacity.

They would havo seen at onco wneuier tuero was any promise in an indi vidual who annliod to bo a Ilnlnnnl. nfhis fitness, or whether ho had porcoption or adaptibility. Governor f'urtin ndoptod tho plan best suited his admirors in filling their pockets, that ho might strengthen hid iiiuna'uvres to uo rc-eicetctt, not caring whether tho self-sacrifioing and gallant volunteers were swindlerl by shoddy vest ments, or commanded by ignorant and presumptuous Jaks.
