reaching Georgia, Mr.' Cobb was elected to
represent, in conjunction' with Mr. Toombs,'
that State in the Southern Convention then
abont to assemble at Montgomery, Alabama.
Of this body Mr. Cobb was, on the 4tb of
February, 1861, unanimously chosen perma
nent President. In the provisional and regu
lar Congresses of the Confederacy, Mr. Cobb
held a seat for the first part of the wsir, but
toward the close entered the military; seirrice
as a brigadier general, and at the’ time
of General Sherman’s march through
Georgia, was stationed at Macon in that
State. With the close of the war, Mr. Cobh’s
long life of public service came to
a close, nor hns he in any way been a parti
cipant in politics, save to the extent of a
spfeecb or two iri bis native State in opposi
tion to the reconstruction scheme. For some
time back he has resided in Macon, where he
was engaged-in the practice of law. In per-'
son Mr. Cobb was a large, stout man of full
liabit, a circumstance which throws light on’
the abrupt manner of his death. But ii few
days prior to his decease he was in’ the office
of the World to procure the justice of- a’ vin
dication against some assault Upon him in tlie
troubled past, as published in a prominent
organ of the Republican party. This vindi
cation was duly published and is, perhaps,
tlie last work of a political nature of his life.
In’ his native Slate Mr! Cobb has many
friends, and by his moderate course and wise ’
counsel since 1865, lias done much to allay
irritation and inculcate patience and pru
dence. In a life of fifty-three years he has
been,’ as above stated in detail, in public life
for Hearty a full generation, and whatever dif-
’ ng opinions -may be entertained of his
rse’in the latter decade of this longpe-
i of public iservico, it cannot hutbead-
itted that he was a man* of great natural
polished by long culture and great
_ faience in the ars impemiuU, and that in
his death there depnrts from American liisto-i
**ry a thorough type of that prompt, vigorous,
fiery, far-seeing, and ’ most unflinching race
of Southern statesmen, whose influence has
been so marked in the annals of the United

i ,.l- Express Thieves.
Editor Daily Telegraph:—Sir: Will you
please spare me a very brief space in yonr
colnmns,'to inake a plain statement with re-
gard to the extradition cases of Reno and
Anderson, eliarged with robbing the Adams’
Eipress, at Marabfield, - Indiana, on -the 22d-’
of May last, and that of I. 8. Alorton, C. E.
Thompson and" Den Thompson, who have
been lately upon examination before Police
Justice, McNabb, charged with robbing the.
Alercbariis" Union Express Company on tho
1st erf' May , last, on the lino of the Hudson
river railruad. Both of these robberies were
of such a nature as to canse a great deal of
attention from the Express companies of the
United States. Representing as I do, the Con
solidated Express Company of the United
States, I therefore beg respectfully -to bring
fbeforo your readers the' following statement
On the night of the first of Alayof the pre
sent year, C. ; E. Thompson and L 8. Morton
entered by force and violence the ear of .the
AlerAanls’ Union Express Company upon
the line of the -Hudson River Railroad, and
■ by the eridence of Putnam Wilson Brown, a
’’ sssenger of that company,-then in charge
that car and the treasures aboard, forcibly:
zed, bound and gagged him and forcibly
ibed him of the monies which were in Ms
possession at that tiriiiL Henman Thompson
became ah accessory to the offence before its
commission, Was Upon tlie tatiin at the time
of the robbery, and was also connected with
- robbers; and h'e received a portion of the
ofthe robbefy. These parties were
in Toronto on the 13th day of August
v.^ Justice Me- '
upon’a waTritnt issued by Justice
■ The 'caSe was examined before
adduced showed dear-
laatTU
Nabb.
tom. The eviderice
^yiand concUisiveiy by Brown the messenger;
and other witnesses, that Alorton and Thomp
son were* the parties who, upon the night of
the 1st of May, upon the line of the Hudson
River railroad, forcibly entered the
car, tied,'lionn'd and gagged him as the "mi
senger, and forcibly: ’despoiled him’ of the
-treasure which was in Ms possession at that
time. The only evidence to contradict this,
is that of Denman Thompson, who was dis
charged by Justice McNabb, andxrho then
hnblnshingly, and-without an attempt to say
that he had any cause other than that of jus
tification of the robbery which the prisoners
bad committed, testified that be was one of
the parties to make up a combination between
Putnam Wilson Brown, the messenger, L S.
Alorton and C. E. Thoinpsbn, and that Brown
•the messenger Was an Accomplice'with them,
thus attempting to lower* the grade of the of
fence so that' it does not come under the
Ashburton Treaty.
After a frill hearing of the evidence. Justice
McNabb cn the 28th irfSt.; discharged I. S.
Morton and C. ; E, * Thompson, holding thatr
eridence was not • sufficient * under the
eatyforan extradition;
I arrived in' this city on the morning of the
25th,‘and so soon as I learned of the dis
charge of the prisoners charged with the rob-
>' bery of the Merchants’ Union Express Cem-
qiaiiy, caused and* had an information laid be-
i was Seriously ifi; and* hastened • fore Stipesidiary Magistrate, MeMicken, and
liau. Dr. Rupanner, the hotel a 1 warrant issned for the're-arrest of the pris- ■
warrant issned ’for the' re-arrest of the pris
oners, biit regret to say that from the com
plicity of the police officers and' detectives
from the United States, arid by other means,
Alorton rind Thompson have not yet been ar
rested, {rat* I am determined to remain in
Canada a sufficient length of- time to warrant
me in saying that if they still seA a tbfuge
’' ire, they Will probably be found by tbepro-
r and duly authorized officers of the Do-
on; if they seek aTrifrige in the United
tates that is amply sufficient forme. . 1
i In referehce to the case of Rene and An
derson, I brig to say that Seymour, Indiana,
somewhat noted as having been- very nn-
fe-fbr peraons or valuables
are for many years. M wil
":e to prejudice their case now
the Court, upon a writ of habeas cor-
Reno and Anderson have been exam-
ed before Justice AIcMicken, of Windsor;
whp has ordered them for extradition. Their,
defence is an alibi ■ I beg to say, that accord
ing to' my counsel’s advice, eridence for the
defence is not admissible upon the demand
‘ " e. United States Tor extradition under the
and Webster* trriaty." That, how-

Anderson; npon winch they will-undoubtedly

the military authority to preserve the peafe at the
polls at any election that may r be held in any- of the
States; and whereas, this duty, lifs become the more j
imperative, from the existing political excitement in
the public mind,''from the recent organization of civil
government, and from the fact that Congress has, by-
statute, prohibited the organization of military forces
in the several States of this Department, it-^s, there-,

Commanders that they are to act in aid
co-operation and in subordination, to the civil author

ment, unbiased by political or other prejudices ; that
their object'should" be exclusively to "preserve the
peace and uphold the law and order, arid they mritt-be
satisfied'such is the object of the Civil officer calHrig
them for aid; that they mnst in all
time will permit, apply forUnstnictton to superior au-

peace, and not be restrained by technical points, when,
to their conscientious judgment odderIho rules above
set forth, it ia their duty to act. Poet (fcrbmanders
on being notified of the proposed-holding of political
meetings, may send an officer, rind if .necessary a de
tachment, to watch the proceedings and see that the
peace is preeerved.
•• To the people of the several States composing the
Department. the Major General ConUnanding appeals"
that they will co-opf-rate with- him and the Civit Au
thorities in sustaining law-aria- order, in preserving
the peace' and in avoiding those-scenes of riot anil*
bloodshed, and the wanton destruction of property-,
and life; which has already, in some Jnstanje^ been,
enacted in the Department, Bte urges abstipence
