| AN INVASION OF VERMONT FROM THE CASADa sipr--
| ROBBERY OF BANKs-PASIC OF THE CITIZENS.
| The Yankees having sensation nearer home
than the seat of war. On Wednesday last, band
| of twenty-five from Canada Invaded" the
| town of St Albans in Vermont, and robbed the Ma
tional Bank of $4,000, the st. Adams Bank Of
| $4,000, and the Franklin County Bank of a con-
siderable Some twenty horses we've also seized
by the desperadoes and carried Oft. Several citizens
who resisted deliberately shot; two seri-
ously wounded and it is feared fatayE. j. Msrri-
son, CONTRACTOR and G. Ii. Huntington, jeweler.
Several others are reported slightly wounded. The
attack commenced about 2. Nj, and the opening
| is thus described by an eye-witne>s
| Several men appeared TO be rushing about with
pistols liz parties of from FIVE TO ten. One Of these
gangs met Mr.. Morrison and presented q weapon
| TO him. demanding his surrender. He answered
s. You are joking, boys" They fired and he fell
throw up his hands ami ,hefl sinA the ground
and then he realized for the first time that the VIII
| lasc was attacked by an organized body of men,
bent on page and regardless of human life.
Meanwhile the attack had been simultaneous
the three banks-the First National, Franklin Coun
ty and st. Adams. Parties entered each. When
the teller, or cashier, sspecng evil, asked what
they desired the leader presented pistol, with the
exclamation, ;" lou are my prisoner; If you move
an inch we'll blow you through" Others of the
gang then went to the vault and drawers and laid
violent hands all the specie, bills and other arti
cles which they could find and filled the side satchels
which each w0rc We before described. OF course
resistance was useless, for the surprise com
plete. At the Franklin County Bank the raiders
pushed the cashier, Mr. Bearlsley, and one of the
clerks, into the vault and locked them up, and the
prisoners were not released until late the night
| Then commenced a reign of terror III the village
Plumber had been accomplished, and violence fol-
lowed. The raid was brief; but the scene must have
been terrible while l. lasted. The thirty more
| maraudcrs rushed up and down the streets firing
| their pistols in every direction Whenever they saw
81 citizen or group OF men they would ann nthat
| direction. They had magnificent alms-sevCn-
| shooters and fast one weapon unloadcd
| they drew another, and kept up the fajladc. Mr..
| Baldwin says he only liken the sounds to the
| noise of Fourth OF July morning iii large city.
| There was a continuous bang! bang! hang! Of
course this reckless of ftearIns could not
tinue long with nobody hurt. The sheriff of the
| county soon fell; Mr.. Huntington shot while
| resisting the robbery Of his store woman, whose
name We could not learn, fell, aud-nOre dastardy

that beggtrs all description
OF course the entire populace rushed into the
| streets. They had no idea Of the of the'tls
turbuce, for they engaged i'll their usual daily
avocaons. and the raid - like thunder from
clear sky" The guerriilas, as they rushed through

gathered them III squads under guard Of few men,

Al TINS wits the work of twenty minutes. Con-
Iuctor Baldwin SAYS he can scarcely realize that it

After the. invaders had gone the citizens turned
out and pursued them, cartul!ng the leader, with

is crazy oyer this ''barbarous INVASION" and is
trying to prove that the men were ConfederateS.
