For some reason unknown to us and to the general ! public, Sir. Mosely lias taken no steps in the ] direction of punishing the perpetrators of that j heinous crime, since his recovery of the safe, notwithstanding the fact that several, if not all of them, are known to the public. This is not ; as it should bo. The public has an interest in bringing theivos to justice, even if the party most directly injured is satisfied by the recov ery of his property. If so bold and hienous a crime as this can bo perpetrated in our moist and tho perpetrators remain in tho country unmolested, what assurance have our citizens that they will not be robbed or murdered at any moment? The Grand Jury who meet next week owe it to themselves, to tlieir county, to their State, to their posterity, to thoroughly sift and investigate this matter, and to indict the guilty parties no matter how high or how low they may stand in the scale of society, that they may be brought to justico and punished as such criminals deserve to lie punished. Just Look atThtc.— Wc want everybody who ov.-ts ns one cent to come forward, without waiting to bo specially called upon in person, and pay ns. Wo are straining every nerve to raiso tho money noc- | »vy to move our family to this place from up- 1 per Georgia, and we need every cent. It will inomie“‘■ ' 'no ono tupay us the Hmafi sum due ns, but ail those small sums put tocrcth' and paid, would enable us to bo re-united w ith our family, none of whom wc have ever seen sinco we first cameamongyoulast spring.
