Heavy Robbery.

--Between nine and ten o'clock on Monday night, the dry goods store of Chiles & Chenery, on the corner of Broad and Sixth streets, was broken into and robbed of about twenty thousand dollars' worth of goods. Included in the lot stolen were twenty pieces of fine calico, ten pieces of which were subsequently found in the rear alley by the watch, who detected the rogues (supposed to be two negroes), as they were leaving the store, and gave them chase. Entrance to the store was gained by first getting into the coal cellar and then bursting open the door which leads up the steps thereto. This makes the sixth time this firm has been robbed within the past few years, and each time the thieves have gotten in the same way.
