The cadIz bank Robbery.

From the sCtftftdnd tdeTdtd.
The plan oof fobbing the National
Bank at Cadiz, was we'll executed, but
the plan of escape was evidently not
the same ithatlw0uld have been adopt!
ed by the majority of men connected
with such heavy robberies. Only one
of the party deserves, any, yscommenda-
ton t6r shrewdhess. we give his
course, as related to us by gentleman
from Steubenville, last night.
After the party left the hand car, at
Alexandria Station, they proceeded,
across a plowed, field, to q hill skitting
the banks Of Cross Creek which they
assembled. At the top of the hill they
secreted themselves among the bushes,
and for the first time after the robbery,
took "breathing spell" Here the
money was examined, and one of the
nartv % entrusted with the $50, 600 in
pfeenbacksss The balance was consign-
ed to a carpet sack. This man, soon
after. volunteered to make reconnots-
same and itfwaslleft ito him to deter
mine what route they should take. He
sailed forth from their hiding place
and was never seen afterwards py any
of the party. It is not likely that ne
will return to them now, after having
made good his escape with the oest
