Great Express Robbery. 
The famous iron car belonging to the 
Adams’ Express Company, attached to one of 
the New Haven trains, was broken open on the 
6th inst. (in the night,) while on its way between 
New York and New Haven, and a safe containing 
some $700,000 in bonds, specie, Government secu¬ 
rities, A<., forced open and the above property 
taken therefrom. The car containing the safe 
is made entirely of iron, with only one door in 
the side, securely fastened with a strong padlock. 
The car was in charge of one of the Company’s 
messengers. 
The safe was taken from the depot at Twenty- 
seventh .street, New York, up to the station at 
Forty-second street, and thence placed in the 
car. At the given time the train started; the 
m ee sen go r To u n d that the door had been forced 
open, and upon further examination discovered 
that one of the sales had been broken Into audits 
contents taken. It Is supposed that the thieves, 
after haviDg gained access to the sales, Jumped 
oif the train. A jimmy, three dark lanterns and 
a sledge hammer were found in the car. It is 
surmised that the padlock wus knocked away 
by a blow from the hammer. 
The plan to rob the safe is supposed to have 
been arranged by parties w ho were familiar with 
the workings of the Company’s express cars, 
and it no doubt took months before they had it 
completed to their satisfaction. 
There have been several persons arrested who 
were engaged in the robbery, and a large amount 
of the stolen money recovered. 
South American Affairs. 
Panama dates of January 1st, state that the 
steamship Peru arrived there on the 2Sth. ult. 
Among her passengers arc Christopher Robinson, 
Esq., late United States Minister to Peru, who 
returns home by this steamer. War matters in 
Chili are unchanged. After the capture of the 
Spanish blockadiug 6bip Conodonga by the Chil¬ 
ian man-of-war, she put to sea, and it is believed 
she sailed for Southern Peru for the purpose of 
uniting with the Peruvian fleet. 
The news from Pern is very favorable. Peace 
reigns throughout the Republic under the new 
regime. Several vessels on suspicion that 
they were carrying implements of war to the 
Spaniards, have been detained in Callao. It Is 
believed the Government will reject the treaty 
with Spain made by the previous Government. 
Large numbers of the leaders who supported 
Perez have been arrested and will be brought to 
trial. The banished General Costilla was last 
heard of at Gibraltar. It is believed he is now 
on his return to Peru. 
Colorado. 
The President on the 12th inst., submitted 
to Congress a brief message in reference to the 
claim of Colorado to be recognized as a State. 
In the firsteiection, uuder an act of Congress, the 
people of the. Territory rejected a Constitution 
which was submitted to them. Subsequently, 
a second Couventten wa6 called by committees 
of the several political parties, and framed 
another Constitution, which was adopted by a 
majority of 155. As the committees had no 
specified authority to call a Convention, and as 
the mode of election differs from that prescribed 
by law, the President does not feel warranted in 
proclaiming Colorado a State, lie therefore sub¬ 
mits the matter to Congress, with the document¬ 
ary evidence — leaving that body to decide the 
questions involved. Strictly speaking, the State 
has not been organized. But as there can bo no 
doubt of the intent, Congress will probably deal 
liberally with the matter, and refrain from in¬ 
sisting upon compliance to the strict letter of 
the law. 
Australia. 
It is said that the impression prevails iu 
political circles in London, that the disagree¬ 
ment which now exists between the British 
Government and the colonists of Victoria iu 
Australia, will soon result in a saparatiou of 
that province from the mother country. Should 
such a revolution take place, the example of 
Victoria would doubtless be speedily followed 
by the other Australian colonies, and perhaps 
by some nearer home. It is so manifestly unrea¬ 
sonable and impracticable to govern from Lou¬ 
don vast countries on the other side of the globe, 
that there could be little expectation of a long 
continuance of their unnatural dependence on 
the mother country. The Australian provinces, 
the youugest-horu of England, are now large 
enough aud strong enough to go alone and take 
care of themselves. They arc rich and prosper¬ 
ous, aud have all the elements of national power. 
One of their cities, Melbourne, founded but a 
few years ago, has already 120,000 inhabitants. 
From Mexico. 
The Brownsville, Texas, correspondent of 
the New Orleans Times, under date of the 4th 
inst.., says:—It is understood that Eseobado is 
preparing for another attack on Mat a mo rat. 
The Imperialists surprised a small company of 
Liberals, killing twelve aud capturing thirty, who 
will be executed under Maximilian’s order. Gen. 
Crawford addressed Gen. tVeitzel on the subject, 
asking him to prevent murder. The latter re¬ 
plied that he had entered a solemn protest 
against it, but Gen. Mejia informed him he was 
compelled to obey the orders of his Government. 
Gen. Crawford was shot at from the opposite 
side of the river, but an apology was afterwards 
offered.

The Imprisoned Assassins. — The Herald’s 
Fort Monroe correspondent of the 7th inst., 
writes that Captain Alexander of the Empire 
City, arrived at Fortress Monroe on the 3d inst. 
from Key West. He had seen Dr. Mudd, Spang¬ 
ler and O’Longhlin, tbe assassination conspira¬ 
tors. They all occupy one room, and were iu 
good health. They do tbe most menial and de¬ 
grading work about the prison. Dr. Mudd lias 
behaved with exemplary propriety since his fail¬ 
ure to escape, some time ago, and is evidently 
striving to reinstate himself in the good opinion 
of his custodians and his former easy and agreea¬ 
ble place in the prison hospital. 
From Canada.— The N. Y. Herald’s Toronto 
special of Jan. 10, says:—“At a meeting of the

means exist enabling Canada to compete with the 
Eric canal, and that the Welland canal must be en¬ 
larged, the St, Lawrence locks lengthened and 
deepened, and a new canal built between Cham¬ 
plain and the St. Lawrence. A petition to the 
Home Government, looking to a peaceful seces¬ 
sion from England and annexation to the United 
States, or the formation of a separate Govern' 
ment, is said to be in circulation among annexa- 
tionallst9 iu the rural districts.'’

Sailors’ League. 
Wiiat the South Wants. —A Southern news¬ 
paper thus states their wants:—1. We want the 
military removed. 2. We want the Frecdmen’s 
Bureau abolished. 3. We want to be allowed 
to elect men to office who will represent the

Publisher’s Special Notices. 
Traveling Agents. — Caution. —Under date of 
Jan. 1.1866, Otis Stempel. P. M„ Long Grove, Hi., 
writes:—“Will yon please in form me by retnm mail 
whether you have a traveling agent in Illinois, enti¬ 
tled to take subscriber- for your Rural, and what is 
bis name U’ 
—In reply to which we reiterate that we employ no 
traveling agent-, and of coarse have none in Illinois. 
Scamps take advantage of the popularity of the 
Rural and are swindling the people in various sec¬ 
tions—as several recent letters advise us—but we 
have no means of effectually preventing the fraud, for 
the rascals rarely remain long enough in one place to 
be caught. We will pay liberally for the capture of 
one of the foul birds. 
The Rural as a Present.—Our readers are re¬ 
minded that iu all cases where a Subscriber sends the 
Rural New-Yorker to a relative or friend, as a present, 
we only charge the lowest club rate—I2..V) a rear. The 
lowest price for copies thus sent to Canada Is $2.70 and to 
Europe $3.50, The Rural is a valuable gift, and one 
which reminds tbe recipient of the Kind donor fifty-two 
times in the course of the year. 
If Yon, Reader, cannot consistently act m agent 
for the Rural, please solicit the influence of some 
active friend who will be sure and give the matter atten¬ 
tion—especially if there is not a wide-awake agent in 
your neighborhood. 
Addition*, to Clubs are always In order, whether in 
ones, twos, lives, tens, twenties, or any other number. 
Subscriptions can commence with the volume or any 
number; but the former is the best time, and we shall 
send from it for some weeks, unless specially directed 
otherwise. Please " make a note of it,’’ 
Remit by Draft.— Whenever drafts can be obtained 
Club Agents are requested to remit them in preference to 
Currency or P. O. Motley Order-.- As we pay cost of ex¬ 
change, and allow them to be sent at our risk, it Is the 
safest and cheapest to remit by draft,. 
About Premium*. — Those who may become en¬ 
titled to premiums of extra copies, books, Ac.. for clubs, 
will please itestynatf what they wish, in the letters con¬ 
taining their Iters, so far as convenient, so that we may 
send without delay. 
No Traveling Agents are employed by us. and we 
give no certificates of agency. Any person so disposed 
can act as Local Club Agent, on his or her own authority, 
and compete for premiums, etc.
