LATE POST OFFICE ROBBERIES. United States District Court. Before Hon. Judge Ingersoll. THE UNITED STATES AGAINST THEODORE A. ROSSIE. Jax. 10.—The accused im this case isa young mau, ap- [ parently about twenty-six years of age, of genteel appear- ance and rather good looking, and is charged with having abstracted from letters in the Post Office, where he was , Certain articles of value. A jury being empanelled, Mr. Dunning, Astociate United VBtates Attorney, proceeded to state the case for the gor- ernment, of which the following is but s brief outline: recapitulating the {ndic!ment, and pointing out the mct of Congress of 84 March, 1835, which made the ab- stracting from letters a felony, he said he entertained 20 doubt that he would be able to produce sush direstand WYpositive proof as could leave no doubt on the minds of the jury in :egard to the guilt of the prisoner now on trial: also pointed out how exceedingly cautious Congress been in framing this act to guard against depreda- f) (tions of this kind. Offences of this nature were of fre- quent cocurence, and comsequently it became the jury Cand the Court, when the case was clearly made out, to see ‘that the law was properly and efficiestly enforced. Ina post office such as in this city, it becomes necessary that labor should be aivided; that certain clerks should ve certain portions under their control, and other f} clerks other portions, Such was the case with Rosie, His duty was that of taking charge of all the German i, paid letters that were to be tranrmitted by the Prussian ) |. It was his duty to see that these letters were put im the mail bag. No other clerk was permitted to interfe except. under certain circumg! but \ Hossle. Tt ‘was discovered that many of these letters ‘ reached Germany had been opened and of ir contents. Complaints were made to the Pest Office of this country by the German and ?russian ‘authorities. This led the department at Washi to make inquiries into the matter. The Postmaster at o- encloeed. ¢ozen envelopes that had come through Post Office avd had een rifled of their contents, ‘These were forwarded Cle that department [ .ofjwhich Rossie had the control. The Post;Ofice authori- ‘tles had, therefore, found it necessary to employ men to ferret out these frauds, and they se! very best i, mes for that purpose. When these cases were brought 5, to thie know! ef the government, one of their special promt, ur. was ad to ferret them out. I ie was a clerk, of very limi salary—aome five or Ac aix hundred dollars atyear—yet he was living in avery ex- are manner, up town, keeping his horse and buggy. |" Mr. Holbrook came on to the city of New York. The let- |)! ters are made up on the eve of the ceparture of the steam- im er. Previc us to the departure of the mail, these Gorman paid letters were examived, and it was found that several H” of them were rifled. Itis the cuty of the clerk, who makes Hi them up in bundles ponte nunired and Shy; So pat his je; for instance, woen made the {initials om the bund! Tt was found, upon been bundle up he would put “R’’ on it. lf! the oocasicn I speak of, that several letiers had i and rifled, and these letters were ail contain which bore Rossie’a initial as having up by him. This was another suspicion. fhe en prepared rome ‘decoy ducks,” as are and placed them where they would go through l, gers examined, and they were found t; but om that day Rosse was not at the Post being sick, When the next steamer was Roasle was at his post, and it was found letters were rifled.

Mr. Coffin kept his eye on came; Mr Coffin then watched him; was also watching from the Postmas- Romie went to breakfast aud the ed, it was found ott pre i large gold riog 2 one, and the eagle hid been taken ont of other. The prosecution would prove that no other had touched these letters but Rossie. Another co may be ment : On his retarn ome of the clerks told him he ted in the Postmasters’ room, and he of nervousness, andi attempted to , and it was not until he hai run sve- was taken. His drawer was searched, }. were found several articles, sach as are sent by ir post im money there was found between eighteen ‘and nineteen hundred dollars, peculiarly put up in small parcels, ard tipally city money. This is a case of ‘more than o! importance. It is certainly of great importance to this young wan, for he is yet young; bat of importance to this commanity, and of impor- tance to others similarly situated. Ifthe jary were satis- ‘fied of his guilt, then they should not hesitate to pro- 4 mounce so. Let others see that punishment is sure to ‘ aetna ype and we shall have less of them per- Mr. James M.

Coftin, examined by Mr. Dunning, deposed— Tam clerk in the Post Office in this city for about twent years; in May last I had charge of the foreign letter de- partment; Roasie was employed in that department under me. Mr. Smith, at this stage of the proceedings, said that if the theory of the counsel for the defence, were correct, this is not an offence uncer the statute, ani he thought it would be as well to state the grounds now, The gation is, that these were letters intended t> be forward- ed by mail; the shows that regs er mot in- 'd to be forwarded by mail, and the statute requires that they should be intended to be forwarded by mail; these letters were not broken epen; whatever was taken from them was taken from the seal. Mr. Dunning said there was one section of the act which juired the letters to be sent by mail; there was another which f balbvinon that, if the letter was broken for the pur- ES of taking any article of value, although it was not tended to be pent by mail, the party was indictable. The Jud, ‘the case to Witceas sontinued—Rosale had, in part, charge of the letters to Great Britain, and exclusively charge of the Geran paid letters by the Prussian muils; his cuty waa to stamp those letters to the credit of the Prussian offics, and when s sofficient number accumulated to pul hundred and twenty rates together, to bundle them; the clerk that bundles puts his initials onthe bundle; Before the German paid letters are bundled, they are pat in boxes expressly fcr that purpose; Reasie’s ‘ion was in front ¢f the boxes where the German psid letters w received from Mr. Holbrook, about that time, letters handed me four letters on the evening of the 11th, which Tretaized in my possession till next morning; he had handed me one before, which I put in the box that nigh’ Teentifies the ring and the coin letter:] those two were to me on the evening of the 11th; I don’t knx what they contained, except what Mr Holbrook told me; I put those letters inthe Prussian boxes on the morning of the 12th, before any of the clerks came; they were in the same condition when I put themin the box that a were when I received them from Mr. Holbrook the night be: wo nes oprah 1g letter on the afternoon of, ‘tke llth; i Prussien box is where the German paid ire put—one of the boxes I had spoken cf, after I jetters there, I went to my usual place in the office, and kept my eye on the boxes; I remain: @ boxes; I saw Rosie in the mora ing; in about haif past five o’closk, the usual hour for the clerks to come; I hed placed them in the tox shortly after five o’clocx; I kept them in view after I placed thagp there; when Rossie arrived he went out of my sight to the place he usually atanda; thet’s what I supposed, but I couldn’t ses nim; be remained out of my right about half ‘an hour; when be came in sight be commenced distributing the paid let ors fer Great Britein; after that I saw him take the letters out of the Prussian boxes, where [had placed these letters fe the morning, and he commenced disiribuliog them prepara tory to stamping them; I saw nothing but that he was at work at thore letters; he continued there tills little af- ter seven o'clock, then he lefc that room for some other rt of the cffice; he returned in » short t'me, and then for breakfast; Mr. Holbrook sent to me to get those letters; I them ano teok them up to him; afier I fied those letters in the Prassian box mo other person been to those boxes but Rossie. Q. Could any one have gone to those boxes without you — them? ‘[Objected to—admitted.) A. I was ip perfect view of the boxes, and no per- fon could bave e there without my seeing them; the seal of the Ietter wher I put it in the box, hope tec tab ovrfees yer bade rough surface; it pearance item, pat en it edgewise; I could not say by such ston as ie ‘used there; I weighed the letter and I found it weighed Jess than when I pat it in the box; I weighed it immedi- ately after getting up stairs; the seal of the letter with the coin appeared to torn; it was unsealed; the seal was cracked in two; the letter appears now as it did when I took it up that morning; I was there when Mr. Rossie returned frtm breakfast; I had an interview with Rossie, at bis request, after he returned from breakfast; the interview was in the Postmaster’s reom, in presence of an officer and Mr. Holbrook; the other Glerks employed in that office that morning wers Frederick ‘and Morton Wile liam H.

They stoop down in their legislation and pick up paltry pins, when the rich fruits of « vast continent are within their grasp. They are busy about office, petty contracta—political moonshine—when thty should be legislating for the future empire that will know mo bounds but the North and South poles, and the Atlantis and Pacific coeans.

They are yory well in their line, but Iam better in mine, I, in my attic on Capitol Hill, can see beyond Washington, Like an avalanche, we Americacs commence at the top of the hill, and shall aweep everything before us until we reach Patagonis, We may take a reat fora year or 9, when we have swallowed up Mexico, and all the lowest lard of North America, and then we shall submerge all the South American republics, empires, &c , until we become one vast whole, under the style and title of the United States of North and South America. After this little bit of probable truth mixed up with » small cose of unadulterated Yankee egotiam, allow me to proceed with whatI mean to make the priacipal and prominent feature of my letter Ererrbody is all ogog in this place about an expedition which is ahrrtly to sailfrom your port to explore the Amazon; aad fron what I can learn the expec ition, if it nails, will find the bottom, if it don’t the to} pper Amazon, Ererybody in New York seems to written to this place for » copy of « book recently published for the Senate, called “The + port on the Trade of the Amazon, and Capacities of that river for igation,’’ by Lieutenant Herndon. which gives each Senator sixteen The demand ts so great that even Senstors bave used up their right, and as high as $25 has been paid to secure o copy.

SPECIAL CORREYPORDENCE OF THE NEW YORK HERALD. Wasurvatow, Jan. 10, 1854, We are satisfied that Mr. Redfield’s nomination will mow meet with little, if any, opposition in the Senate, although, three weeks since, tbe probabilities of his re- jection were supposed to be, by Senators themselves, as two toone. Indeed, a change of such magnitude has re- cently taken place as to render it higitly probable all the nominations will be confirmed, even including George Sanders. The argument which has been used to bring about thie fecling is, that the President has an undoubted right to remove or appoint as he may see fit, and that the Senate caanot with propriety look behind the record presented to them, but must reject or confirm solely upon the per- sonal character and qualifications of the nominees, Con- trary poeition was assumed by certain Senators upon the advent of General Taylor’s administration, but the Senate st that time refased to go behind the record, or to look to anything but the qualifications and character of the persons nominated. This course having been determined upon, Mr. Red- field’s confirmation will in no respect be an endorsemen; of the conduct of the aiministration in its interference in the State polities and affairs of New York. To prove this it {s only necessary to give the names of some of the Senators who not only intend to vote for Mr, Redfield, but are actively engaged in endexvoring to have his confir- mation ananimays, 0 as to take away all pretence of its being a tort questicn, Senstor Weller, of Oslifornia, is known warmly to espouse the cause of the national de- mccracy in New York. and yet he is prominent in his: Gesire to have Mr. Redfield confirmed. So, also, are Mr. Bright of Indiana; Mr. Hunter, of Virgi 4’ other gentlemen, whose potitions, as national men, are well un- Gerstood. Against Mr. Redfield personally, no charge is made, and be will consequently not be opposed. You will therefore be prepared te hear of the confirma tion of all the Presisenta’ appointments; and should any of them be rejected it will solely be on personal grounds. Tke matter being now understood, it is believed the President will at once send all the nominations in to the Senate. As yet no important appointments have been sent tothe Capitol; but the principle having been ¢e- cided, there ie xo longer ap) cause for delay The Jack: on dinner last nis ht, held at the oyster cellar, eer of Sixth street, waz gottea up by the enpecia' trees adn inistration, onder the mavagemeat of D ce Ia-tosa of & great national festive ina of wo histori caltvent ond 1a bowor of ® maa wRons career Le & por tion of our yc 0u est national bistor;, it dwindled down to 8 mere political gathering where ths ettort seamed t, be oa to which of therpeshers could most beslobber the present edn ‘nistretion, Several of the mont duiin guished embers of the democratic party, now in Wash is gton, were ror present Judge Douylas, it is undereteod, made his Nevrasta report, which tha Hekaip pudii‘bed in advance of al other papers, without consultation with aay peravm vill it was written, wheno it was submitted to the commit‘es, Spyroved, and ce preee: ted to the Senate.

A report is current here this afternoon that A. @ Brown bas received the democratic nomination for Sena- tor from Mississippi, in the legislative caucus. The re- port, however, is disorediied im well informed quarters. Neither the President nor Colonel Davia has received the information, On the contrary, no doubt is expressed but that Colonel Davis has been ocmivated, and not Mr, Brown. A correspondence has teken place between the chair man of the Committee on Patents and the Commissioner, relative to the rejestion of Col\’s application for an ex- tension of his patent, It appears from this that Mr. Colt never applied to the Commissioner for an extension of the patent which is now before Congress, and that, with reference to Celt’a profits, the idea was gathered on ex. parte testimony altogether, in the absecce of Colt’s coun- eel, and from workmen eogaged io making cheap cast {ron pistols, an infringement of Cult’s patent, and who calculated if Colt’s pistols cost only as much as the cast iron arm did to maru/actuze that he mast have made large This spoils the million story.

Their great success depends as much upom the manner in which taey are constructed as upon the pecaliarity of their orgsnization So complicated machine can only be mate valuable by great scouracy and perfection in its manufactare, and that can only be cone by t and expensive insohi To precure that has been Colt’s constant effort, and as rapidly as profite arose from the sale, he reinvesied them to increase and perfect hi: machinery. By this means he hes brought bis arm to great perfection, and at great coat; but as soon as the invention becomes public, the manufacture of cast-iron and other cheap and absolutely dangerous arms will drive out of the warket those arms which are made with great care and expense, and ruining the business, which is conducted in» most costly manner, produce so perfect a result. Mr. Co! ‘extension of seven years will enable him so to increase and perfect his machinery, and so to subdivide and ebeapen his procerses, that at the end of toat time he will beable to furnish the consumers the most per. fect aim, which is capable of being made at so small a cost, that mapufactarers of spurious imitations will not find the profit sufficient to encourage the business, In orcer to protect himself from the destrastive «(fects which would folow the introduction of these spurirus # into use in me ge where he has no patent, and in Europe generally, Mr. Colt has established an armory in London, to which he hes carried American maohivery, and which is operated en’ by American mechanics, and wkere he is now ecgaged in the attempt to demon: the superiority of hivarms over all imperfect imita- that the European consumers factu #of soy except such as are erfect. In that urdertaking, however, it is evident that @ can mske no money. but must cootrol the market for the present by supplying the demand at the same price ‘that inferior arma can be sold for,even at a loss. Already the English armory has exhausted ‘all the sur plus which had been accumulated in this country, and is even now a constant drain om the reources and eneryics of the inventor. Yet he is determined to carry out his plan, impressed wth the belief that uniess ‘be quality of the arpa made osm be maintained, the whole manu- fsoture will fail The reasous which are given for this belie! appear to be very o-uclusive and satisfactory, and your committee are of opinion that every encourage men‘ ougtt to be given to Mr. Ucltim carrying out his iene. ‘¢ The great object to be sttained in the manufacture of fire arms is perfect certainty uncer ail ctrovmatances; 3 compared with that t eivofe erusequence Tae pubiic woud ro he bunet ac tf sac acine am these, msrmfacture aoc ine Carate aanawr, couk be furutet 0 every applicant; but tbe pubis w y the supply uf re habie, perteo pons at any cox’ the exp mene of ti Cemenatrate tost Mr Oolt, above all ibe ow toe grea dedi oratlin, ard he constantly ce at «bie the sras are duced wre volo p that bis actioipations ate rae Proce bie, Bid ‘ba!
