K “ Capturing; s Bank. ABVED RUFFIANS KEIZING THE CASHIER IN OPEN DAT—THEY TO BCE HIM TO UNLOCK THE SATE—SHOOTING A CITI ZEN—THE ESCAPE. From the St. Lonls Democrat. May 2S. A daring and remarkable robbery was per petrated at the bank at St. Genevieve, Mis souri, yesterday. In the morning the cashier of the bank was standing on the steps of the building conversing with the son of General Rosier, when two strangers walked briskly up the steps, passing between them and entering the office. The cashier supposing that they wished to transact some business, lollowed them into the room, and passing them near the middle of the counter, which be intended to step behind, was suddenly arrested by a sharp “Halt !** and tnrning, found a revolver almost touching his head. The ruffian who presented the weapon quickly informed him that a movement would cost him his lite, and the cashier being convinced that such was the esse, prudently stood still. In the meantime the accomplice rushed to ward young Rozier, at the same time drawing a pistol aod threatening him with instant death if he moved. The young man, seeing the intention of the scoundrels, bounded down the steps and toward the more densely popu lated portion of the town, with the intention A. 9 mission JOHN W. LEIGH.

The horseman, a Germau living in the vicin ity, managed to head off and secure the run away, and the four robbers quickly got to gether on the road. The cashier, who had in the meantime been a close prisoner, was then ordered to leave as soon as his two captors were mounted, and finding himself at liberty, turned toward the town. An ominous click, click, caused him to jump quickly to one side in time to avoid a pistol ball, and by lively dodging, he suc ceeded in escaping three more pistol shots fired at him. One of the ruffians seemed in clined to follow him on horse baok, and kill him, but was dissuaded by his comrades, aod all four started off at a hard gallop. THE TOWN ALARMED. STAR CANDLES!

The particular* of the daring bank robbery in Missouri will recall the strikingly similar burglary of the Bank of Columbia in this State, which occurred about twelve months ago. Four or five armed desperadoes entered the bank in broad daylight, forced the cashier to open the safe, and deterred interference from citizen* by shooting at every person who appeared upon the streets, and finally made their escape unmolested after murdering the cashier in cold blood. These men were never captured; and the circumatauce of the attack upon the bank at St. Genevieve, published elsew here, are so extraordinarily ; alike in every detail—except the murder—to the tragedy at Columbia as to suggest its be ing the work of the same desperutc scoun dreLs.
