| The Macon Confederate
of the 25th instant says: "We understand that over $40,000 in gold
and other valuables, the property of the Merchants and Planters Bank
of Ravannah, was stolen from the train, night before last, on its down
trip from the city, between No. 4 and 5 stations on the Central {(of
Georgia)} Railroad. The money was secured in a box and was
placed in a car, doubly locked and looked after by the messenger, at
each station, until arrival at No. 5, all being safe up to that time,
but soon after the box was found to be abstracted, with contents, and
there is no clue, as yet, to the mystery." |
