These pointed remarks were followed by the showing of shooting irons which were such potent arguments, that Mr. Beardsloy was compelled to comply with their demands.

Mr. Bishop ran to the room where Mr. Seymour was and attempted to bolt the door. The robbers were too quick for him, and forcing the door, Mr. Bishop was seized by the throat, and forcibly taken out, and Mr. Seymour had a rebel ar gument, in the shape of a loaded pis tol, presented to his ear.
