Keeovery of Stolen Goods end ArreBt
of the Theives.
It will b« recollected by our readers that
some time during tho month of October
last, an advertisement appeared in our pa
per offering a reward for the recovery of a
trunk, with its contents, which were stolen
from the cart of Mr. J. B. Sims, oi
Bulloch county, while at tho market, in
this city, disposing of his produce. .Our
Constables have been on the alert for the
stolen articles since that time, but no clue
as tothe whereabouts ol the trunk could be
discovered until Wednesday night Ia6t,
when County Constables Wray and Buck
ner had occasion to arrest a young lad,
apparently about 14 years of age, charged
with some offence, the nature of which wo
did not learn. He was taken to the office
of Justice Staley, where, after closo
questioning, he staled that he knew all
about the stealing of the trunk, and gave
the names of several other hoys who wore
engaged in it. and the actual leaders in the
robbery. The names of the boys are J.
W. Williams, alias Zimmerman, Allen
Padget and John Bennett. They were
immediately arrested by Messrs. Buckner
and Wray and carried before Justice Sta
lky, who committed them to jail to await
a further investigation in the matter.
The first boy arrested, whose name we
did not learn, wefs retained ns State's evi
dence, and conducted the Consiables to an
old out-house, adjoining the Gibbon’s Ho
tel, on West Broad street, in the loft of
which they found the trunk and the papers,
which are of great value to the owner, but
the money, ($170,), waa gone. From the
facts elicited from one of the boys, it ap
pears that they are a regular constituted
band of theives, and have been carrying on
their depredations for years, tho oldest one
being about 20 years old, and the others on
an average of from 13 to 1C years of age.
Two of the boys we have often had occa
sion to mention heretofore a9 being up be
fore Justices, charged with stealing about
the market, also, robbing foul houses, &c. t
on the outskirts of the city. Wo hope that
the law will bo fully enforced against them,
■o as to rid our city of them lor a time, if
not altogether.
The PensncoUi Gazette mentions a
rumor in circulation in that City, that a son
of Gov. Wise has been seized and bung, -

Northern Literature.—Nothing so en
tirely indicates the entire rottenness of
Northern public sentiment, as the fact that
the largest book establishment in the coun
try is obliged to employ one of the iflost
obnoxious Abolitionists in -the country to
edit its periodical literature. The name ol
George W. Curtis is familiar with our
readers from its constant appearance in
Harper s Magazine and Harper's Weekly
illustrated paper. That we may know the
man, let us read his sentiments as roported
in that Black Republican sheet, the New
York Evening Post, of the 7th inst. It
says:
Mr. George W. Curtis, on Tuesday,
closed a lecture in Worcester, Massachu
setts, with these words, suggested by the
execution of John Brown :
My friends, we have just scan an his*
toric day. We seem to stand in tho crisis
of the great struggle. We believe the bat
tle is won. Our oldest State, in other
years, our first, carefully guards her bor
ders from men who believe in human liber
ty and the Gulden Rule. John Brown has
shown there can be no sense of social
security in a system of slavery. He is not
buried, but planted. He will spring up a
hundred lold. 1 do not wonder at the
solemn pomp of his death. They would
have none but a Southern-made rope to
hang him; but that rope had two ends—
one round the neck of a man, the other
round the system. In taking a lilo it has
conquered itself. To children of ours
hanging over Plutarch’s pages we will tell
that America had heroes, and that on the
soil of Virginia John Brown died for the
liberty ol men.”
Box Oars.—Our attention waa aoma time ago
called to a numbrr of railroad box cara. completed
and ready for nae. passing through our atreets.—
We Inquired of tho prqjector of the city railroad
ir he had them built in haste, and put iu use ; but
we discovered tho cars to be large, substantial aud
well built. They woro for tho Meraphla and Ten
nessee railroad, and were built by Messrs. D. A R.
II. KUer, of Charleston, S. C. t and delivered from
their yard ou South Carolina railroad, and brought
ou tho 'continued line of railroad, without dels)
or trouble. We have also been Informed by Col
Samuel Tate, President of the Memphis and
Char eaton railroad, that Messrs. D & R. II. Rikor,
of harleston, 8* C., have just completed a large
contract very satisfactorily for this road of freight,
box cars. We congratulate Messrs. D. A R. II
Rikor that they have faithfully fulfilled their
agreement, and have gained the confident e of the
officers of this shly mauaged ^Charleston) railroad.
