"While lhere is a great d-nl of talk ubi ?nt the Mexican emigra lion scheme, the departure of hundreds of persons from tlie North to cities of the South ?2<ies steadily and quietly on. Pro? fessional men, mechanics, and indeed tuen reprosenliug every denartment of .industry, .sra' hurrying Southward to try their for lu ses. Rici 1 mond. Charleston, Savannah, Norfolk. Mobile, New Orleans and thu other principal cities of the South are the chief attraction, but as soon as the war shall have .actually closed, many of these pil? grims will make their way to the inteiior. O.i Siturtlay we were inform? ed that an advertising firm newly established in t Ii i s city received $3,800 to pay for advertisements to .bj inserted in Southern papers. It is stated that the demand fur carpenters in the South is already greater than the supply, while* masons, plumbers, ?wheelwrights and painters are very scarce.- New York Commercial and Advertiser. A few evenings since a lady in Peoiia attempted to extinguish a kero? sene lamp by blowing at the flames from the top. The result was, the oil ignited and the lamp exploded. In an instant the lady's dress and the books and papers on '.be table were in flames. Fortunately no fatal damage was done, though the lady, and a gentleman pre? sent, were burned in their hands mid faces in their efforts to extinguish ihe flames. The Lynn Bulletin says shoe buyers are numerous, and ord eis are coming in laster than they can be filled. The stock of g'-ods on band is very light, and there is no prospect Ht present of an accumulation. Alway- take the part of an abseo? perron vs ho is censured in company, sc far as truth aud propriety will alio?.". HEAVY ROBBERT OF SPECIE-$200, 000 STOLEN.-A few days since two o!" lao officers of the Richmond banks, whose assets were removed from lhat edy up >n the evacuation ia April, re-iched Washington, in this State. Tliev were empowered by thc autho? rities to remove their effects, consisting <>f three hundred and twenty thousand dollars in specie, to the capital of Vir? ginia. Procuring teams and a gu?rd of twelve men, these gentlemen 6et out upon their return hume, intending to take the railroad at Chester, South Carolina. At tho end of the first day's jour nev. they encamped oa the grounds of Mrs. Morse,eighteen miles from Wash? ington and three from the Savannah river. The officers retired, and tho guards fal! asleep. About midnight a party of twenty mounted men, who were evidently aware of the value of the train, sud? denly flashed upon it, and the guard surrendered without fiting a gun or making the slightest show o? resist? ance. The freebooters immediately went to work bursting open the specie kegs arid helping themselves to the glittering contents. One fellow, it is related, bad a large leathern haversack, which he filled, but just as ho was mounting his horse the straps gave way and tho precious metal fell chink ing to the ground. He eagerly scrape.) up the gold and sand, leaving a number of pieces, and placing the coin in a bag, rode off. The next morning a negro teamster fouud five did.ar pieces scattered iu profusion all about the ground. Some two hundred thousand dollars were stolen, leaving ?bout one hundred and Iwvnty thousand. Wah this amount the bank officers journeyed oe. sadder, but wiser men. Upon reach iug Abbeville, S. C., thev offered a reward ot twenty thousand dollars for thc recovery of the prop. ity. The robbers are supposed to be pa? roled soldiers, who followed the train from Washington, lt is singular, tiwi .o the present demoralized state of the country, the gentlemen in charge made no secret of their valuable pos? sessions; nor did they use any extra? ordinary measures of precaution to preserve their property. [Augusta Constitutionalist. After the services at noon in a coun? try church, in walked a woman in a gray cloak, accompanied by two half grown up urchins, with eyes and mouths both fearfully ag3pe, and the trio took their seats, in all modesty, near the door. By-and-by the clergy? man gave out his text-'Jesus I know, and Paul I know, but who are ye?' Tho grey cloak wa? agitated. The text was energetically repeated, and tit? minister's eyes seemed cant toward j the party seated behind the door. Our friend iii grey stood up, and wi'li thc voice of a shepherdess on a Wost- j moreland Fell, replied to this p in ted question-'Please, sur, I'se Betty j Jones, o' We'sleddale, an' thus is our j Rob ah' our Pcjjgy, and we'se ga'an to j Penrith to see our Nancy, and we | thowt we'd i 'ist come in an' see w hat '. v ye were make:), and git a rest. REBKI. PRISONERS.-The alacrity, | says the Louisville Journal, with I which nearly the whole ol the rebel nii- : toners, throughout the United States, are taking the oath cf allegiance, is ? one of the very best indications of the speedy return of true peace and har- j mony. About 500 at Camp Douglas | look the'oath on Friday last, and were ; furnished with transportation to tliei'- j homes. There are over 7,000 pri- j soners still in camp, who will be re? leased as quickly ns the necessary rolls i and papers can be made out. Thc Journal is also informed that of) over 7,000 nm commissioned officers j ;ind privates confined at Fort Delaware, all, with the exception of three, have exptessed their willingness and desire to return to their uilesfiance. Henry Ward Beecher lenns the j city of New York 'a ne.-t of robbers, ! a den of thieves, whose examph f.-.- j miliarizes our citizens with pillage, and prostitutes the morality of out youth.' Never ridicule sacred things, or what othet'3 may esteem a3 such, how? ever absuri they may seem to you. { It is a mournful p:dure, and toll? a sorrowful tale, thai anecdote of the little Scotch girl wno askm] her mellier what beaven was like. 'M'y dear, ii it like a perpetual Sabbath.' '(}, mamma,' said tho child, 'how dreadful' Children look intuitively into minds and dispositions; mark that man from whom a child is ever anxious to escape. Enjoy the glory of tho sun, and not put out your eyes by trying to count the ?pots upon ils face. Promises made in time of affliction require a better memory than people commonly possess. Tho happiest moment of your life is whet! you don't know it.
