Pada a ik) sR Arrest of One of the Alleged Robbers in New York—He Sells One of the Bonds Stolen from the Sate Deposit Bank. PirrspurG, Pa., April 22, 1873. The theft of the box containing $200,000 in cash and securities from the Safe Deposit Company, which had been deposited there by the cashier of the Odd Fellows’ Bank on the night of April 5, and which was not forthcoming when called for on the morning of Monday, the 7th in- stant, is still the subject of much speculation, and detectives, induced by the reward of $2,000, are driving ahead to clear up the mystery. Though many of the bonds were recovered others are yet missing, and also cash amounting to something like four thousand dollars, which was deposited in the box. It also contained an Alleghany Railroad bond for $1,000. On Tuesday, the 8th inst., a genteel-lookin, young man offered that bond for sale at the ban! of Fitch, Otis & Co., 11 Pine street, New York. Im- mediately npon the discovery of the loss of the bond Colonel Phillips, President of the Alleghany Valley Railroad, went to New York in search of it. He arrived there on Thursday and proceeded utonce to the ofice of Winslow, Lanier & Co., with which firm he left a description of the stolen bond. By their endeavors it was traced to the office of the brokers above mentioned. ‘They stated that when the young maa first called he was accompanied by two others. He gave his name as C, H. Hampton. They informed him they could not purchase the bond without first telegraphing to Philadelphia, im order to ascertain if it was allright. They telegraphed and dis:ov- ered that it was regular, and, being payable to ; hey purcbased it on Weanesday, paying $900 fo On the day following Colonel Phillips arrived, and, learning these facts, obtained a description of the nan ana put detectives on his trac! suit of these movements was that night a despatch was received here a detective in New York, stating that the person who had sold the bond was arrested and held in custody. He was taken before Fitch, Otis & Co., and recognized. The necessary requisition from the Governor was procured, and as soon as it arrived here Captain Benson, United States detective, started for New York to bring the prisoncr here. From the description eye of the person arested it is believed that ipton is not the real name of the individuai. ‘There is also a theory that there 1s a woman in the case, and it will probably be attempted to prove an alii on the part o/ the prisoner. An attempt will also be made to prove that a woman carried the bond to New York, This bond robvery is one of the deepest of mys- teries, and the manner in which it was accom- plished will be decidedly interesting and relieve a weight of suspicion that has rested on persons con- nected with the Safe Deposit Bank. LEE AND LONGSTREET. A Converted ex-Confederate Raising Up Ghosts from Gettysburg—Who Was to Blame for the Disastrous Defeat in Pennsylvania ? Mosite, Ala., April 22, 1873, Brigadier General W. N. Pendleton, late Chief of Artillery of the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia, and now pastor of the Episcopal church at Lexington, is on a lecturing tour through the South for the purpose of raising funds to build a tomb to the memory of General R. E. Lee. He has spoken in nearly all the principal cities South, but here General Pendleton eclipsed his fermer lec- tures by making a most astounding charge of treachery against Longstreet. In his lecture delivered in this city for the Lee memorial fund, Pend'eton solemnly arraigned General James Longstreet, that tireless fighter and proven hard hitter, and to his delay he attributed the lost opportunity at Gettysburg. The lecturer said that, to his personal knowledge, derived trom Lee's own lips, Longstreet had the night before the battle received from General Lee in person orders | to advance at the dawn of the next morning: that he (General Pendleton) had made areconnoissance in person, and declared to General Lee the perfect practicability of immediate assault upon the: then unprepared enemy ; how he had waited impatiently till twelve o'clock; hew Longstreet at that hour rode up to his side and sat upon ins horse, useless and inactive, until jour o'clock P. M.; then when the head of his column did go in, his soldiers wer futile against the now massed and concentrated enemy; and still Robert FE. Lee (General Pendleton said) refused fo lay the blame upon the shoulders of the man who had fought so often and so well for him. It is expected that this will create qnite a storm in the South, CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH CONVENTION IN CHICAGO, CHICAGO, April 22, 1872, The fifth triennial convention of Congregational Churches of the Interior and Northwest, represent. ing about one thousand societies, met here to-day in the Theological Seminary.

FIRE IN CHAMBERS STREET. Shortly after five o'clock yesterday morning a fire broke out in the building No. 51 Chambers street, owned and occupied by the Emi- grant Savings Bank, which caused a 108s of about $15,000. The five reoms on the second floor were occupied by lawyers and the contents of each was damaged to the ex- | tent of about three hundred dollars. On the third | and fourth floors twelve rooms were also, oceupied | by gentlemen of the same proiession, each of Whom suiered to the extent of about four hundred | dollars. The dweiling ot the janitor was injured to the extent of about five hundred dollars; not insured, The building was damaged to the extent of about five thousand dollars; in- sured.

As, for instance, when he seeks out and subjects vo his inquisition public men in foreign lands of whose real character and purposes the public know bat little. Such an interviewer is the representative of the HERALp, who furnishes to that paper to-day an account of his conversation with the myste- rious and troublesome Don Carlos, sent at some considerable expense by cable. Of course there is much of the inevitable “bounce” which your genuine interviewer never omits; but, aside (rom that, the HERALD man gives us a valuable glimpse at the Prince who is just now so worrying the Spanish government. First, we learn that Don Carlos is “tall and slim in person, with a remarkably handsome face; that “he wears his beard full;’’ that he is “slighuy effeminate in his address,” and does not talk in @ manner corresponding with his manly appearance, but that this is ofset by his “candid tone, good sense and cogent reasons in support of his post- tion.” All of which it is pleasant toknow. The conversation of tie Prince is thatof a man who beiteves that his cause, though desperate, ts jnat, and that it will finaily rise. He alluded to the fact that the insurrection began last De vember with a force of only twenty-seven men, which was rapidly increased by the addition of 300 men as s00n as that number of disinterred muskets was supplied to them. He holds that if he had a hundred thousand muskets he could have a hundred thousand soldiers, inasmuch as the population of the villages: are with him in sentiment. In other words, he claims to be situated very much as the insurgents in Cuba are—whose effective force 18 only limited by the lack of arms—only he is fighting for the “divine right" to rule a kingdom and they are straggling for the natural right to rule themselves, Like almost all Spaniards, he believes in holding on to Cuba under all clrenmatances. Don Carlos seeins destined to play an important part in settling the question whether “the divine right” theory of government or republicanism 1# to prevail in Spain, His success in raising a most troublesome force under the most discouraging circumstances shows how much remaining vitality there is in Spanish loyaity to the old monarchy. (From the New York Commercial, April 21.) * * * Barring his belief in the divine mght of kings, a belief which probably came as naturally to him as his pride in his first pair of boots, Carlos is @ good deal more liberal than most people ever supposed a Bourbon could be, But the Don is only @ candidate, not a king; and talk is cheap. If the Bourbon tiara should ever press his youthful brow wouldn’t this yaunted liberalism considerably wilt? THE HERALD'S MAMMOTH ISSUES. {From the Ottumwa (Iowa) Courier, April 17.)

The first train for a week on the Burlington and Missouri River Railroad came in this morning. The reports of the late storm show it to have been the most severe ever known here. Men were frozen to death within two rods of their houses while try- ing to get to their stock to feed them. Near Grafton a man named Keeler attempted to reach aneighbor, scarcely half a mile away, ac- companied by his wife and child, and the two latter were frozen to death. Mr. Marshall, of Hastings, perished while trying to reach his stock from the house, The wife and child of Mr. Bent, living near Red Cloud, weré frozen while attempting to reach a neighbor’s, after the house had been rendered un- inhavitable. Their bodies were found on Friday, tep rods from the house, Families were compelled to take refuge in cellars or keep their beds tor three days. Houses were biewn down and filled with snow, The destruction of cattle and horses was great; some farmers lost all they had. One party lost a whole herd of seventy-live head, The gullies on the railways were filled with snow as hard as Ke, and snow ploughs were useless, A DREADFUL ACCIDENT IN NORTH CARO LINA, RicuMonp, Va., April 22, 1 T am in receipt of a despateh from Asheviile, Buncome county, N.

She was out in the mountain with her daughter, aged thirteen years, looking for estrayed sheep, and approaching the edge of @ precipice she lost her balance and fell from the summit to the base, a distance of 219 feet. Her daughter, partially stupified by the appalling acci- dent, hurried down the clit, at tke foot of which she jound her mother, lying insensibie, with the blood streaming frem a terrible wound on her head. Alter jailing to revive her she went back and precured assistance. When the unfortunate woman was carried home and Dr. King summoned, he found that. her skull was fractured, and the scalp, from the line of the forehead to the crown, ‘was literally torn off.

As for the orchestra it was simply perfect. It is the fate of oratorio societies generally to have a miserable orchestra, which founders about amid the sea of voices like a whale in shal- low wat Mendelssohn has written some trying things | he instruments in this work, Thomas’ orchestra omitted nothing in unanimity of t tempo and expression that the composer bimseif, were he present, would desire, The principal solo singers on the occasion were Mrs. J. Houston West and Mrs. Carrie Brackett, soprani; Miss Annie Louise Cary, contralto; Mr. Nelson Varley, tenor, and Mr. Myron W, Whituey, basso. With the exception of Miss Cary, who sang the lovely music allotted io her in the oratoriolikea conscientious artist, the solo singers were not a suc cess, Mrs. West has a voice which, in the middie register, is pleasing and well trained, but its upper notes are hard, strained and anything but Nexible, In the entire range of oratorio there is hardiy any music so expressive, so intensely dramatic or so varied in emotional quality as the dialogue between the prophet and the widow, whose son he rescues from the grave. A soprano must have a voice and soul capabie of giving utterance to the most touching Le oe w sing this music properly. Mrs. West did not invest it with the slightest degree of interest. Mr. Varley is an English tenor who brings with him a name of considerable magnitude, bestowed upon him by our brethren across the water. In his first air, “If with all your hearts,” the pleasing hope that we had at last secured a satisiactory tenor tor ora- torio was dissipated, Above E_ his voice is of the “throaty”? order, the tones being singularly un- natural apd forced. There are some agreea- | ble notes in this organ, however, which, if a peculiar, affected style of singing were absent, might modity the unpleasant effect produced upon an audience by his singing. but when a tenor cannot sing evenG above the line | without throatiness, there is little to be hoped from him. Hard, metallic, alia a tones in such @ case are unpardonabie. . Whitney is an admirable basso, but the music of the prophet was never written for such @ voice as his, which cannot go beyond C without straining and consequent huskiness, With a pure baritone like Santiey, for instance, the effect is very diferent. tay aye althongh Mr. Whitney song the music of t ro- one who thoroughly under- stood its meaning and vividness of dramatic power, yet his voice refused to carry him through successfully. The double quartet, “For He shall give,” the incomparable trio, “Lift thine tyes, and = th tot, “Come every one that thirsteth,” were not delivered with even tolerable effect.’ The last of these concerted pieces was atrocious in execution. the soprano singing out of tune from beginning to end. The charming quartet, “Cast thy burden,"? met with a better fate, served recall. parts was more than by the splendid triumph of the chorus and orchestra, shere will be another oratorio performance this evening, Mendelssohn's “Hymn of Praise” and selections from Handel's “Israel in Egypt" forming the programme. A grand public relearsal will take place at Steinway Halil, con- vening at one o'clock this afternoon. The musical public of New York may well congratulate them- selves on being the favored guests at such a least of music as Mr, Thomas has provided for them.

In confirmation of this state- ment I bave only to refer you to the Marto dela Marina, of Havana, and the Spanish press. The end of the struggle ts fast approaching, and, men of Jiguani, Why do you hesitate to Hock to our banner in the same manner that your brethren of Guisa, Zarzal, Mayari and San Ramon have done’ Are you waiting in cowardly mood until the Spaniards shall have abandoned your town as they ha abandoned Baire Abajo, La Vuelta, La Yaya and La Mula. The messenger entrnsted with this proc- lamation aves that nothing can prevent our entry into Jiguani, and jet me say to you, mark well this prophecy.

Will the New Captain General Liberate Him and Restore Peace in the Island! (From the New Yorker Staats-Zeitung, April 19.) The outlook tor the HegaLp correspondent is more favorable—his life is hot immediately threa’ ened, and it ts expected that a8 soon as the new Captain General, General Pieltain, arrives in Havana, whom report states to be a firm supporter of the Repablic im Spain, he will not merely set the HERALD correspondent at iberty, but will also endeavor by peaceable means, by offering amnesty and by 4 restitution of confiscated prop- erty to bring the insurrection to an end. It is greatly to be wished, for Spaniards as well as for Cubans, that he may succeed in this, for if there is ho perimar se hoped for in the republican ineti- tions in Spain after four yearsof open revolt by the Cubans, the situation remains un: from without has reached them, the Spanish unconditionally liberated the slaves or settied matters with the creoles, Neither of the latter may be expected for some time to come; consequently the insurgents would act very wisely if they should repel the hand of forgiveness and reconciliation which, it Is stated, the Spauisn government Will hoid out to them. To be sure, the account Mr. O'Kelly gives of his residence in the insurrectionary district, an | the condition of things as he found it, leay but little hope that the jeaders themsely evince a desire to accept and lay down their arms | under an unconditional amnesty.
