of Middle Georgia, and 81,000 of the Cential
Bank of Alabama. The robbery was cno of
the most skilful ever executed, and left no clue
at tbe time as to the perpetrators. The rob-
bery was effected by means of false keys, a d
was not discovered tor some time. The lock
of the back door where the thief entered, as
well as the locks of the vault door have receiv-
ed no marks -of violence whatever. The rob-
ben showed their knowledge of business by the
selection of bills of different banks which are
in circulation! throughout the country, and
whioh might beuscd with impunity The box I
from which the amount was taken contained I
in all probability $120,000, about two thirds
of which was left.
Three days since a man calling himself L.
Green, called on Mr. J. S. Sullivan, of Rich-
mond, Texas, to extliange some Georgia bills.
Mr. Sullivan asked him what amount he had,
and the reply was, " none of your business."
Mr. S. agreed to take 8500, when Green took
from a handkerchief tied about his person, a
very large bundle of bank bills. Mr.. Sullivan
bad seen the account of the robbery, and had
his suspicions aroused from the first. He then
procured a warrant; h d Green arrested, and
the money examined- It amounted to upwards
of $21,000, and, we understand, was all' or
mostly in the notes of the Columbus branch of
tbe Marine Bank of Augusta—no bill being
over $100, sad most of small denominations.
Green (as be calls himself) gives no account
of his past history or residence, and tells con-
tradictory stories about the money. He is an
elderly looking man, having gray hair and whis-
kery which bavo been dyed. He is now in
jail, and tbe money in the hands of the She-
ri9.-GaI.Ci9.

Charleston, May 2.—The regular demo-
cratic convention reassembled at the usual hour
this morning, Hon Caleb Cushing, president,

any day yet, and the excitement less, the bal-
lots yesterday having satisfied all minds as to
the principal subject of conversation—the
strength of Douglas.
After prayer and the reading of the journal,
the president announced the nomination of a
candidate for the Presidency to be the first bu-

Thc first part of the resolution affirming the
Cincinnati platform was adapted by a vote of
233 ayes against 70 nays.

cing the Ciucsnnati platform as an unmitigated
swindle.
The States of Alabaima, Mississippi and Flor-
ida desire to withdraw their votca.

ern delegates sufficient time for consultation.
When thc Louisiana delegation wilhdrew,
Priour said that two delegates declined to join
in with them for the purpose of withdrawing,
but as the delegates had been instructed to vote
as a unit, nobody could casf a vote of the State
after a majority had hft the convention.
The disorder whi^h prevailed at this time
beggars all description. Amid the confusion
a motion to take a recess till tl o'clock in the
evening was made and carried.
Aft«r the session, which last d s;x hours and
presented an unusual scene of excitement, a
yratid sa'ute was fired in honor of the southern

against three South Carolina delegates who re-
fused to secede.
North Carolina and Maryland stand firm to
their principles.
A portion of the delegates from Virginia and
Georgia withdrew frrm the convention.
The Kentucky delegates are consulting as to
ihc course they shall pursue.

The national convention has determined on

Female Extravagance—A righteous De-
cision.——In New Orleans, a few day? since, Mr.
B., who has a salary of $2,500 per annum, was
sued for $645, the amount of a bill of dress
goods sold to his wife within ten days, in No-
vember last. The articles were not necessaries
under the most liberal use of that term, and
it appeared in the evidence that the husband
had forbidden the plaintiff to trust his wife.
The Court decided that the plaintiff could not
reoover.
Retribution.—Some years since, Warrick
Martin, a Louisiana planter, placed 860,000
in the hands of a brother-in-law, named Brooks,
of Beloit, Wisconsin, for investment in lands,
and subsequently received back the principal
under the pretence by Brooks, that tbe invest-
ments were failures, and that Martin might oob-
sider himself lucky in getting out so well.
Martin having found that Brooks made aud
pocketed two or three hundred thousand dol-
lars by the operation, bronght suit in the U. S.
Court, and, on Monday last, got a verdict for
the full amount.—St. Luuis Rep.

A Young Mother.—Among the illegiti-
mate births in Massachusetts, in the year 18-
oM, there was one case worthy of especial no-
tice, in consequence of the extreme youth of
the mother. Elizabeth 1) , was born of
native parents in the alma-house at Taunton,
May 24. 1347, and at the same place she be-
came the mother of a healthy boy, on the 1st
of February, 1858, being only ten years, eight
month- and seven days old. This appears to
bo a rare case in this climate, but is well attes-
ted by the physician, (Dr. A. Baylies.) of the
alms house at Taunton, who officiated profes-
word <l constitutional" for the word " national," J gionally, both at the birth of the young

It is now believed that Jefferson Davis, of — "**
Mississippi, will be nominated for President,
and Charles O'Connor, of New York, for Vice
President.
Most of the Louisiana Delegates left for

The Wood delegation from New York, with
others from thc north ar.d east, also left for
home this evening on the James Adgcr.
The southern constitutional convention wore
engaged throughout the d^y in a storey de-
bate.
Mr. Winston, of Albania, denounced the
new platform as a humbug. Others counselled
moderation lor fear of alicuating the northern
democracy. The general opinion was that au i
amicable arrangement ean be effcc'.ed
Tbe Picayune's special correspondent srys it
is the general impro siou the Seeeders will ac-
cept tbe nomination ot the regular convention
if he be sound on the slavery question. The
Delta's Bpecial correspondent says the same
th'ing. The adoption ol tbe two-thirds rule,
they both assert, destroys Douglas's cbane°s.
This has a mixed look—-the seeeders dispos-
ed to accept the regular nomination, if not ob-
jectionable, and yet disabling themselves from
assisting in making it unobjectionable. It would
be unjust to pronounce a positive opinion upon
the propriety or impropriety of their acts, up-
on incomplete reports. But for one, ire shall
certainly support the nomination ot the re
gularly organized convention ; whoever he may
be, among all who bave been named in con-
nection with the office. Though, of course,
we have successive preferences, and would be
better satisfied with Breckinridge, Dickinson,
Hunter or Guthrie, than either of the others.
The President's Special Message.
We recommend to the attention of our read-
ers this able document, upon our first page.—
It is calm, dignified, but determined; manifests
the proper self respect, and a proper determi-
nation to maintain all the rights of a co-equal
branch of the Government, against the aggres-
sions of violent partisans, who are eareless of
important principles in thejr e^gcr desire to
degrade an official, who stands in the path op
posed to their ruthless aggressions.
We learn from the officers of the steamer J.
D. Swain, that the late rise effectually closed
the navigation to upper Red River; the quan-
tity of drift brought, down haying filled the river
for two miles above the head of Red Bayou. The
steamers J. D. Swain, Era No. 1, Rescue, and
Kra No. 4, hound for upper Red River, had to
bring their freights back to this pli^ce and store
them.—iSoufh Western Mot/ 9/A.
In relation to this closing of tbe 'river, we
learn that there is another Bayou, twenty miles,
or thereabout, above the one now closed, thro'
which the Railroad Iron is expected to be
brought. No time should be lost, however.—
Tbe water may not be sufficient much longer.

Win. H. Jiurk'ey was tried in King and
Queen county, Virginia, on the 5th ult., for
sbojting and killing J. Broach. A letter to
the Richmond Enquirer says the charge was
admitted, and justified upon the plea that Broach
had wilfully and maliciously slandered his
^oung daughter, still in her teen-3, and at
school. The court, after hearing the evidence,
nnd without argument from counsel, discharged
the prisoner, who is one of the most respecta
ble cilizeus of the county. The trial crea-
ted intense excitement, and when tbe verdict
was announced the whole crowd of spectators
rose to their feet and gave vent to the most
hearty approbation.— South Western.
A Venerable Lady.—A new vice reg-
eut of the Lac^e8' NI pupt Vernou Associa-
tion is Mrs. Mary Chestnut, the Mother of the
South Carolina Senator.—This lady, now 85
years of age, has the proud happiness of be-
ing able to say, what few living can 6ay, that
she had a personal acquaintance with Gen.
Washington. In the spring of 17^ Wash-
ington visited Trenton, aid was revived with
the most enthusiastic demonstrations by the
people, especially by the ladies.—A '"triumph-
al arch" was erected on the briege over the
Assanpinck Creek, at the entrance of which
six young girls strewed flowers bofore him, and
sang a song of welcome. One of these girls
is now Mrs. Chestnut. And she who, in the
dawn of life, sang the song of triumphant
welcome to "The Hero," now in its wane joins
those who are endeavoring to pay the noblest
of tributes to that hero's memory.
It is the result of every day experience that
steady attention to matters of detail lies at thc
root of human progress; and that diligence
above all, is the mother of good luck- Accu-
racy is also qf much importance, and an in-
varible mark of good training in a man. Ac-
curacy in observation, accuracy in speech, ac-
curacy in the transaction of affairs. What is
done in business must be well done : for it is
better to accomplish perfectly a small - amount
of work, than to half-do ten times as much.
A wise man used to say, "Stay % little, that wc

mongst us, to hi* celestial refreshment mid rest in

whereas, Siireveport Lodge, No. llr, F, & A. >1.
