Robbery.

--A well dressed negro fellow, employed as a back-driver on Franklin street, was attacked near Camp Winder, last Wednesday night, by three armed men, who presented their pistols to his head and made him pull off his coat, vest and hat, which they took. They then rifled his pockets of $79 and let him go, promising to take his life if he made any alarm. These outrages are said to be of frequent occurrence on the Westham and Deep Run roads. Marketmen are stopped on their way to the city at night, and forced to give up any portion of their loads that the robbers demand, and on several occasions have been severely beaten for even protesting against having their masters' property thus taken.
