Wholesale Robbetty—Seventy five Thou
sand Dollars Slolen,—The most daring
and extensive robbery we have heard of
occurred itt Columbus, Georgia, on the
f4th inst. On the evening of that day,
just as the officers of the W extern Insurance
and Trust Company of that city were about
closing the vaults and the bank for the
night, three or more persons entered the
banking house in 'disguise, secured the of
ficers in such a manner as: to render th'em
unable to give an alarna,4md then proceed
ed to rob the vaults, This they did, and
then escaped. As near as can be aver.
tained, the following amounts were taken:
$9,000 in American and Georgia gold;
$12,500 in notes of Augusta Insurance
and Banking Company, Brunswick Bank,
Mechanics Bank of Augusta; and Bank of
Charleston; $l,OOO in Central Bank notes;
$1,175 in Columbus Bank notes and other
--claims on said bank; a package of memo
randa of moneys in the hands of a , ents of
the bank amounting to $2,400; various
packages of special tkposites, composed of
• $lB,OOO in notes of the Bank of Charles.
ton. 614;000 in notes'of the Bank of Da
-rtin, Georgia, and $lO,OOO or $.15,000 in
various other bank notes. A reward of
.5,000 is offered for the recovery of the
money, or a proport ontte reward fir any
amount recovered, or for any information
which may lead to the recovery. This is
certainly one of the most daring robberies
which has occurred in this or any other
country, and we trust that our constabu
lary and police force, with every good cit
izen, will be on the lookout fur the deter"
Lion of the perpetrators. It is somewhat
singular that the source from which we de
rived our iliformation gave no description
of the persons of the robbers. They
were. however, disguised, and under such
circumstances, a description would be dif-

Woman in Baltimore county, Md. —Mrs.
Melinda Horn, aged, 18, wife of Adam

weeks ago from her husband's residence
on Hanover turnpike about 23 miles from

Pope Acquitted.
Godfrey.Pape, editor of the Kentuckian,
whose trial for the murder of Bliss, has
just closed, has been acquitted. The
assistakeement of hie acquittal was received
by loud plaudits by the ladies and get,tle-
men who thronged the Court Room, The
Kentuckian says:—'•Tbus ends thiS exci

fuse a subtle poison into the public ear, the
Accusation falls to the ground. It is a
source of comfort to the father, the wife,

their love; and that the laws of his country

There is 0 , 1 African Princess of immense

presented himself to her. After his-visit,

Dan Marble tells a story about a Yankee

- Moan. Editors:—AB Mr. V. Scribe has
seen proper, to answer an anonymous corn•
munication, signed by a German Dem
ocrat," and not a charge made against him
in my paper, I consider it my duty, to ex
plain to your readers the reasons he had
for doing
It is well known to every person, that
Mr. V. Scribe is the editor of a German
Whig paper, which he is pleased to call a
neutral paper—the High Sheriff Mr. B.
Weaver, the County Commissioners and
and other Whigs in office to whom he has
introduc,ed himself as a faithful Whig, will
prove this statement. Had he answered
my charges in his paper ikpublishe4 there
such a letter, as he did in your paper, the-
Whigs must have been offended by the
mean conduct of Mr. Scribe, and, of course
would have stopped his paper. But not
to cffend either party, he swallowed all I
wrote in my paper against him respecting
the publication of a Democratic paper, a::d
even when I said he was an infamous liar,
he did not say a word in defence; and such
a man dare say that he is a Democrat!—
"O shame where is thy blush!" When he
mentions 'll his letter, that he edited a Ger
man democratic paper for 3 or 4 years, he
forgot to state that he was then an appren
tice of Mr. Ruby, in Chambersburg, and
that he would as readilyhave edited aWhig,
or even a royal paper, if' his master, who
fur unately was a Democrat, had been a
%'hig or a Royalist.
When Mr. Scriba bought the "Frei.
hefts Fri red," he perceived, that he would
succeed better by carrying water on both
shoulders; but when he came to Pittsburgh
with a view to suppress the democratic pa•
per in which he and others of the whip
unfortnately succeeded, he placed him
self under the control of the whip, and has
supported them ever since. In 1838, as
well as in 1840, be fought for Rimer and
and Gen. Harrison, and published the ;i•
les. slanders against the Democratic party.
—He acted as Secretary at several whig
meetings, held at the Union Factory, at
that time known as the Harrison Factory.
Should he have the i tepudence to show his
face at any German democratic meeting,
he till certainly have to make him-elf
scarce very soon, and whatever candidate
he should propose, the Germans will 1 .,a a
gainst him to a man.
The gentleman who wrote Mr. Scriba's
communication in your paper, made me ac
tually laugh at his protestation of a warm
heart, honesty and eptightncss! Like Di
()pea with the Lantern, to find a faithful
man, yier would have to search every cor
ner if you want'al to get information of
Mr. Scribe's haracter, &it is to be hoped
that he will do all in his power, to make
the public at large acquainted with him.
With respect.

Editor if the Pittsburgher Courier.
