The following are the particulars Of
the robbery OF the United States ex-
press car on the Missouri railroad on
Friday morning. Shortly after the
train left Scott station two rough look
ing men hastily entered the car from
the rear platform; were dressed in
dark clothes, and had their faces con-
cealed by calico masks. In mo-
ment, the messenger, comprehending
their design, rose to resist them. They
demanded the keys OF the safe in which
the money was deposited and seized
him. lie struggled with them desper-
ately but they forced him down on the
floor, aud, in thec course Of the struggle,
he was struck on the head and face, one
blow, it is feared, fracturing the bridge
Of his nose. Having disabled him for
any further resistance they bound him
to heavy chest, rummeged his
pockets until the key of the safe was
found, and then proceeded to possess
of the money. Having
robbed the safe as they thought, pretty
thoroughly, the rascels locked it again
and threw the key behind some boxes
in the car where it was found. 1t is
stated that one package OF money, con-
tanning five thousand dollars in green
backs, was left behind, having been
evidently overlooked. Trains are not
generally run at fast rate between
Scott Station and Jefferson City, and
the robbers having accomplished the
robbery succeeded in jumping off safely
