the DAILY SUN Saturday Morning Jun'6 24 A REPORTED HEAVY - . PRESS ROBBERY. EX A $180,000 Haul! We see it stated in the Nashville Ban ner that the express car on the Mobile & Ohio Railroad was lately robbed of some $30,000 while on the road. We learn from a gentleman who ar rived on the train from the west that it is commonly understood that the amount of money taken %from the tsar was over $180,000. He reports the robbery as having taken place in the night, while the train was in motion, and while the messenger was asleep, on a long ran between stations and that the car was entered by an open ing being mode in the top, and the iron safe drawn up—the whole being done without any alarm or discovery whatever, until the work was completed. The Griffin & Madison Railroad From the Augusta papers we ascer tain that, on the 22d instant, Judge Reese and Mayor Thomason, of Madi son, visited Augusta in order to enlist the people of that city in the interest of the Griffin & Madison Railroad. Mayor Estes, upon learning the object of their visit, invited a number of prominent cit izens to meet them at the Board of Trade Rooms. A meeting was held and Judge Reese made an argument to show how the road would benefit Augusta and why the capitalists and business men of that city should subscribe. From the Chronicle & SentineTs synopsis of the speech we make the following extract: “ The distance from Madison to Griffin is between sixty and seventy-five miles. The road would cost about twelve hundred thousand dollars, or twenty them sand dollars per mile. This estimate would in clude the track and the entire equipment of the road—depots, rolling stock and locomotives. Since the scheme had been started the pcoplo along its line had come out enthusiastically in its support. About two hundred and forty thjusand dollars of the stock of the road have already been subscribed. Only sixty thousand dollars more would render success certain In this way : If three hundrod thousand dol lars of tbo stock is taken a firm of railway contract ors and capitalists havo agreed to subscribe throe hundred thousand dollars more and take a contract to build the road. This would give us six hundred thousand dollars. But double that sum is required. How is it to bo raised ? For every thousand dollars ot stock subscribed, the State has agreed to give aid to the amount of one thousand dollars. This six hundred thousand dollars subscription would give six hundred thousand dollars of State aid twelve hundrod thousand dollars in all—the pushed That it would benefit An completion very rapidly. gusta ten times thatamount there could be no doubt The road would penetrate the counties of Morgan, Jasper, Putnam, Butts and Spalding, among the richest and most productive in Georgia. The trade of all these connties and others would find its way over tho new line and poured into the lap of Augus ta. Thousands of bales of cotton which now go by other routes to rival markets would be brought to this city, and increase its commerce and its material prosperity. Augusta merchants would find custo mers all along this route—in the towns and villages in the country—for their dry goods, groceries and fertilisers. The matter was farther discussed by other gentlemen who were present, after which a committee was appointed to can vass the city for subscriptions. The com mittee consists of Messrs. J. J. Pearce, James A. Gray, J. M. Clark, J. T. Smith and John D. Butt. The people of Griffin and Madison, and,.indeed, along the whole route, are very decided in their support of this pro jected road. There is not a dissenting voice among the whole host of them, and if the present spirit is kept np, the road will bo bnilt. Col. C. Peeples. This gentleman, temporarily connected with the Atlanta Sun as its political editor, has retired from that journal in a grace ful valedictory, and will hereafter confine his splendid abilities to the practice of law. The Colonel is one of the most sociable, genial members of the Georgia bar, and iio member of that honored fra ternity liveth more in the hearts of his friends. .The above mention of onr friend and late assoc;.ite. Col. Peoples, we find in the last number of the LaGrange Re porter, and it is transferred to The Sun in order that we may endorse the com pliment expressed in it. To appreciate Col. Peeples, he must be known intimately, as we know him.— He is one of nature’s best efforts, and a life of close observation and studious at tention to men and books has vastly im proved upon nature. Few men are bis superiors intellectually; few have gone over as wide a field of study, or have can vassed it so thoroughly, and very few have enjoyed his familiarity with public men, or were endowed with the skill to read them so well. As a lawyer he ranks among the brightest ornaments of the Georgia bar, his reputation not being confined to the limits of a circuit, bnt is as broad as the State, and broader. To say that we admire Col. Peeples, would-but feebly express our feeling for him. To say that we love him would be nearer the truth, as he embodies all the traits of character calculated to beget that feeling between man and man, i The Philadelphia Age of June 20, says: Importaut facts have transpired in rela tion to the resolution passed by the Rad ical Convention in Pennsylvania, indors ing Grant. It appears that this resolu tion was twice offered in the Committee and twice rejected by an almost unani mous vote. It was next offered in open Convention, where the members did not like to vote against it, and allowed to go through. The sense of the Convention was evidently against General Grant, and it is said the counter current was set run ning by Senator Cameron. The old trick sU* does not vant the President to see that he IS too strong in Pennsylvania.— Thought detract from the power and limiieact! of the Senator House. Council Proceeding*. Tlila body met last night, with Mayor Hammond in the Chair, and a fuU Board of Aldei men present. The minutes of last meeting read and adopted. Resignation of a policeman was received. Owens was elected in his place. Mr. rrrmoss: Robinson to retail Beer «nd Wine was Of Mr, granted. Of R. 8. Godfrey to refund $21 62 paid for a lot tax sale, which turned out to be the wrong lot. Granted. Of G. A. Bnrghart In relation to a sewer on his lot. Referred to committee. R. E. Lee Fire Company having purchased a lot for their engine house, petitions Council to grade the street. Referred. Petition of sundry citizens to have the sewer Kyle’s corner extended np Marietta street as tar Forsyth. Referred. Mrs. Few petitioned Council for protection. A ne gro at one end of her house had filled his room with hay, shavings and other combustibles, which a spark might at any moment wrap all her earthly posses sions in flames. She suggests that Council fine such offenders everywhere ten dollars, commencing on her particular nigger. The petition was referred. The “Dear Creatures” addressed a petition to his Honor, praying him to have Forrest Avenne put such a condition as to be passable. A motion to re fer the whole matter to his Honor, failed. It was af terwards referred to the Street Committee. BEPOBT OF COMMITTEES. Now came the fan. The Mitchell Street extension muddle was boldly broached. Alderman Caasin read a report recommending the removal of the obstructions and opening the street. Before one man could get his motion heard, two three others were moving for something else. The Mayor had been enjoined. A resolution instructing the City Attorney to dis solve the injunction was passed. Dashes were made here and there at tho .Marshal and City Surveyor, greatly to the discomfort of those officers. Resolutions begging their pardons for what they bad said about them at the last meeting were alter nately passed and rescinded, and to this minute those officers do not clearly understand whether they rest under a censure’or not. Then Alderman McLendon reported on streets. None of which gave universal satisfaction. Cuts and thrusts were handed in right and left. The Council- men came thero in a bad humor—opened the show in a bad humor, and displyed it all the way through. From the familiarity of epithets used, a looker-on might suppose they were very well acquainted with one another, or at least wasn't afraid of each other. Some essay to he the leading spirits in council said tho most ridiculous things, and made tho moves and objected to the most meaurea. Anything let off gas. If a motion was put to the house before his Honor would call the yeas and nays, a half dozes other moves would be made, and the last man that got his say in, that would be acted.on. In this way confusion would get worse confonndcd, when brushing out would be done, and the wrangle begnn again. All this time the presiding.offlcer would look on in bewildered amazement at the exploif s going on before, withontone word of command, ortho faintest attempt at producing order. The amount of petitions for building drains and sewers were innumerable. Every man who had ditch in his neighborhood wanted a sewer bnilt. made no difference where he lived or how far out town, he had to be attended to. Alderman Cassin wanted all tho money that could bo spared for that purpose, to be applied in the heart of the city. Sensible. Mr. Ormond wanted Washington street opened up as far a's his ressdence. He would give the land for that purpose. It was proven to be a road through his plantation that he wanted worked. Fowler said after they got through working the streets then he was willing to go out and work on the plantations. A committee got hold of this. Everything is re ferred to a committee; and the subsequent meeting when these committees report, there are always two, and tho minority report generally wins tho point. This is a noticeable feature. A motion to reconsider the Mitchell streot business was lost. The Cemetery fence was reported in a dilapidated condiiion, and the Committee on the Cemetery was instructed to receive sealed proposals for the erection of a new fence. Alderman Cassin, to the last, could not restrain penchant for making a speech. He attempted to re open the old wounds about Mitchell street There must bo some honey where the bees fly around so much. Who can tell? * Various street projects were proposed, discussed and at last would get so mixed np that'they were lost in the confusion. Alderman Wells wanted to work out Foundry Street, dig down a hill, and sell the unoccupied rea- estate In the neighborhood of the old magazine.— About one and a half acres there belong to the city. Lowry said it took two mules, a nigger and a migh ty substantial wagon, to haul three kegs of powder from the magazine. Rice already had a street nearly completed to the magazine, and didn’t want Wells’ street opened nor his hill cut down. A long, running and unintelligible debate took place about cutting Mitchell—raising Peters a few feet, and making the paths straight for Church-goers in the neighborhood of the junction of those thor oughfares. Then the everlasting Mitchell Street cise would come tip. But down It would go. There is some thing rotten in that street. Who can tell ? The Mayor was instructed to appoint five mem. hers of Council to represent the city’s stock in the annual meeting of the stockholders of the Georgia Western Railroad, which comes off in July. TheFinance Committee reported $747.71 as the amount paid out this week. This was the healthiest sign wo saw in the whole thing. The most dignified member we saw last night was Alderman Graham. He spake never a word, thereby evincing a sound judgment. The next most digni- fidest man was Grubb; he said two words. The third on the list was Schneider. He seconded one motion, and as no attention was paid to it, he quit. These three members have the thanks of the citizens for being mute. If they said nothing good, they have tho satiafoction of knowing that they said noth ing—which is more than the rest of them can say. Take it all together, if tho Council did any impor- tant business lait night, we faded to get the "grist' of it. Water Works wasn’t mentioned. Nothingbutsew- ers and drains, all of which were referred to the Stree- Committee, and as one member intimated, they were “gone where the woodbine,” Ac., only so far as it affects the personal property of the Chair- man.

It has been vigilant and energetic in looking alter offenders, and has succeeded in relieving the city of a great many nuisances.

Each man appears-to have, for the time, considered himself a special cus todian of the law and was determined to see it fully vindicated. 1 With such jurors for the inquest and a Judge like Hoptans on the bench, offenders will have a hard time to escape without punishment. power and at the White Annual Commencement of the Pupil of tile Sisters of Mercy. .T**®, eiercIses of Uus superior school will be held a DeGive’s Opera House, beginning at 6 o’clock, p.

The story about the business here is that Colonel Thompson wrote the officers of the com pany and asked them what information in relation to the decision would be worth in advance. The reply was $30,000.— Mr. Thompson was not satisfied with this, and demanded $50,000, when the company refused the demand, and then known to himself, Morton has been playing a sort of see-saw between the New York Senators, with advantage to himself and his friends and sup porters. The belief is gaining strength that Morton wants, and has demanded, the State Department portfolio; and as there does not seem to be much doubt that Mr. Fish will carry out his long-cherished desire to retire, there is likely to be a vacancy had Mr. Thompson’s letter photographed in the Senatorial representation from and sent to the President.

The theme of the discourse was that, the-Christian religion is the one thing needful to eveiy individual of the human family; but more especially is that reli gion the one thing needful to woman.— Woman is, by nature, more susceptible to religious influence tban man; and wo man, owing to her peculiar relations and associations, can more readily instii into the minds of the young the sentiments and impressions of religious training than man. The Christian religion is .the only religion in the world thakplaees woman as the equal and the companion of man. All other religions degrade woman below her proper sphere in life, and make man the lord over her; and in some countries, woman is treated with less humanity than beasts of burden usu ally are in a Christian country.. . Many had discussed the question, whether the female mind is equal to that of the male; but such a question needs no discussion. The male mind is the superior when bronght into exercise within its proper ■sphere of action; and the female mirnl is the superior when brought into exer cise within its proper sphere. »*«- The exercises will continue during the week, and bid fair to be of tho most in teresting character.
