Tlmt he, Sides, wh.en found in that condition, would pay that "three men came from the shades with black fucrs, Ftoppcd the horses, tied him in that condition and robbed the mail." This proposition Haldetman also declined. Rut Sides, not being intimidated, determine! that the mail should he rubbed if he had to do it entirely himself! Tilings wcnto this way until February, At this time Ilaldennan was staying at live tavern of his brother, when about 11 o'clock in the night the robbery took plscc. Sides drove tip, stopped the stne bo fore the door, awl aroused Peter Haldi-rmun; under the pretence of getting something to drink. Two persons were bleeping with Ilal derman, and heard him Kay, "Peter, I want a grog." The drinking over, and the persons near the bar flbleep, Sides invited P. liuldrr man out to the coach On arriving there Sides then opened the doors 9 nd said, "Now, Pete, is your time; 1 have no passengers. " llaldciuiau declined and said he could not hac any thing to do with it. Sides replied "Well sir, if om do not, I have another man who will ; we will rob the mail this night, and if found out; I'll be d d if I dotit put it upon you, any how." lfy this time Sides had the mail out of the stage, and raising it up, threw it up on the shoulders of Ilalderman, shut the door of the stage, cracked his whip and put off. Ilal derman pondered the thing over in his mind, and finally came to the conclusion that he would be blamed of the matter t all cveutp, enJ that, inaemuch as the mail had been given him, he would see its contents. He proceeded with it into the woods in the rear of the house, and there amidst the rocks and trees of the forest, he raised a fire, end opened the mail and took from it a little upwards of t.r thousand dollar in money ! All the checks, drafts and halves of notes, he burned, with the mail bag and the balance of its conten u. That of the money taken he gave Rides 1000, in good money, und kept the balance, it being in treasury notes and other funds not so current here. That he kept his money in the woods until last August, hoping to find an opportunity to return it ; but the arrest of Sides cut off this Impe, and ularm drove him to Can mitt where he was arrested by Mr. Patterson. Si les says he had part of his money in the gar den attached to the tavern of Mr. Fairall thnt he put it in a bottle and sunk the bottle in an old post hole, here tho fence had been remo ved.

He has since confessed that he descended in to the sleeping apartment of his mistress by way of the chimney, after having found the door locked, and that he Was actuated purely by motives of revenge.
