From the Pittsburgh Gazette, June 10.
The cashier of the "Fcrmers and Me-
chanics Bank of Pittsburgh" has received
q letter from three magistrates ct 0gr!ens-
bursh, in the state Of New-York, infor-
ming him Of the arrest and Imprisonment
in that place Of Joseph l.. PIuymart. one
Of the robbers OF the bank, who, it may
be recollected, broke Jail and escaped
from Cincinnati some weeks since. 1t
appears that this man has in his posses
sion. the balance Of the stolen money,
which from the statement Of Emmons,
we presumed had been thrown into the
Ohio river, when they we're first arres-
ted. 1t is highly probable that Pluymart
after breaking jail, returned to The place
where the money was concealed, and
took the gold, &c. which was missing,
when Emmons discovered the plauder.
There were a number of tracks at the
spot, when it was found, and EmmOns
evinccd great fear on observing THETA; as
he thought they corresponded with the
size OF Pluymart', feet. The place was
toe wild aud the hill too steep to offer
any iuducement, even for the hunter.
Another letter from Baton Rouge to
the cashier, states that a man who calls
himself julius EmmoHs has been arres-
ted there, as answering the description
of Joseph L. PIuymart. The Cashier
has written on TO remove the suspicion.
Since the above was in type, the fJl-
lowing letter has been received:
