A Daring Robbery.

A despatch from Bannock City, Ida.
no Territory. gives the following ac-
count of a bold attack upon the stage
coach and robbery of the passengers
between Virginia City and that place
AS the coach was passing through
Spring Canon, two highwaymen, mask
ed and mounted upon horses, dashed
over a point of bluff, leveling their
guns upon the driver and passengers
| with the command to halt. The pas
sengers were then ordered to raise
their hands and to go out of the coach.
which was accordingly done. The
driver, who was not armed, was then
ordered to disarm the passengers,
which he declined doing, but was
soon brought to terms by the persua-
sion of doublc-barrel shot gun, lev
eled at his head. After having dis
armed thcm-four in number--he
was ordered to relieve them of their
money by searching their pockets,
and depositing it distance from the
coach, with their revolvcrs, the re-
suit being as follows From ID.
McFadden they took $4,000, from Mr..
Madison, $500, from Mr.. Perry 800,
and from Mr.. Bunton $l40, making in
all $2.s4O. They were then ordered
to get into the coach, and leave as
quickly as possible, the robbers re-
naming upon their horses until the
coach was ont of sight. No one as
yet has been arrested, and the rob-
bers will probably go uneducated.

The "Thunderer's" Correspondence


A few weeks ago, riots Oh election
day and the interference of the mill
tary were predicted by the correspond
ent of the London Times. The fellow
deemed it necessary to maintain wha
little credit he possessed by sticking
to his story. So on the 18th of Octo
Der he wrote to the Times from New
York about the election in Ohio three
days before. He said:
"Mr. Lincoln and his advisers
strained every nerve accordingly tC
organize or steal victory. All the
corrupt machinery of patronage and
contracts was set to work in the cit.
les, towns and rural districts of Ohio
Greenbacks were as plentiful as
the flowers of May, and to be had for
the plucking by any man who would
vote against Mr.. Vallandigham. Sol.
diers and civilians were alike pressed
into the cause; and what the promises
ofplace, money, or advancement could
not purchase, the threats of tho Pro.
vost Marshal were employed to ex.
tort"
Another correspondent was in Gin
cinnati on the day of election, and
went out expecting to see crow"
He describes his innocent experiences
as follows. in q letter dated Oct. IA.
He says:
"The election is over, and the pub
lie peace has not been for one moment
disturbed. l walked from one poll
ing shop to the other, yesterday morn.
ing and evening, visiting all the sew.
enteen wards of the city. A posse of
from dozen 10 score of policemen
were stationed at the door of each of
these places but they sat down idle
and listless, and all their task was
limited to little lazy chat and harm
less cbaff with some of the bystand-
ers. l saw no crowd anywhere vo.
tiers dropped in one by one, and inter
ested persons on both sides took care
that the operations should be conduct
ed in all fairness and legality. The
public authorities nowhere interfcred-
/ saw soldiers nowhere nowhere
Irish DULLES armed with formidable
shillelahs nowhere any attempt, |
will not say to force, but eren to solicit a
cote"
This last is the testimony of an eye
witness who was rather disappointed
at the absence of the expected disturb
ance. The first quotation is from a
malignant penny-a-liner. who earns
his pitiful wages by sending forward
his regular budget Of malice and mis-
representation. The one romanccs in
his closet in New York, and swallows
the marvellous tales of those whose
willing dupe he is. The other makes
his observations Oh the spot, and fur
nishes facts to balance the bald asser-
tions and weak inventions Of his CO.
laborer. The Times carries both loads,
regardless of the truth of either. and
anxious only to feed the flame Of Eng
lish prejudice and darken and confuse
the brain of the bewildered Bull.
