A messenger arrived here yesterday morning bringing a copy of a handbill which we insert below, giving an account of the lobbcry of the Franeh of the State Dank of Illinois, at Jacksonville, raid the loss of about 090,000. . $5000 nZWAHB. The Dranch of the Slate Dank of Illinois, at Jacksonville, was robbed on last night, (Sunday th-1 lllh inst.) The doors were entered by false keys. The following is the probable amount taken by the robber, to wit: ?S7,000 in paper; about 47,000 of the above whs in parent Hank paper, the balance mostly in no'es of the Branches, and Dank of Illinois; about &,- 000 in gold, and 3 or 4000 in silver. The shove reward will be given for the recovery of the money and detection of the robber. J. F. WILKINSON, IVcvV. Jacksonville, July FJlh, IStl. We learn verbally that when the messenger left, nothing had been developed, leading to the detection of the perpetrators. The robbers manifested in their operations an intimate knowledge of the interior of the bank, and its papers and bocks. The bills receivable were burned in a stove and entirely destroyed, not one of any kind left untouched. The leaves of several books; embracing accounts running back for three years or more, were torn out and destroyed, and in some case3 the book itself cut up into pieces. The conduct of the depredators, if truly rerwesen'ed, would seem to leave no doubt of the agency of some one acquainted with the business of the Dank. Lately several officers were dismissed from the Dank, by a testluliou of the mother Rank to curtail the expenses. Since then, the late cashier has resigned, and another been elected in his stead, w ho we undci stand was to enter on the duties of his office oa Monday lost.

we trust the robbery wnl be hilly explained. They at least should not be suspected until there is more evidence than we have yet seen to justify it. St. Lo u is Peru b! iron. A letter from one of the Hank officers to the Editor of the New Era, gives the following account of the extraordinary robbery committed on the Rranch at Jackponvill, Ills., on the night of Saturday the 1 1th ins;: The entire loss of the Bank is stated at .82,-195,82; of which SIO.'JIO was in parent Rank panei; $13,o5'J in branch paper, end 18,200 Hanks less $5,018 which were not taken, Silver 2.132 2S.

For weeks the "note of preparation" has reached us on nearly ever) breeze not in official and public annunciations of the change, but the statements of the local newspapers, and the notes of correspondents. AUkwh Ar.:u-. There is music rich music, in such paragraphs! We never read die Argus, Evening Fost, Globe, ttc with such delightful emotions 33 when they have taken their harp from willow to lament the removal of a few Fost-Mastcrs. When Loco-Focoism was in power, v.diile it was hated for its destructiveness, there W33 no whining among Whigs about the loss of office. None but those who wore collars were permitted lo remain in office. Their proscriptions were universal. They claimed the office as the "Spoils of Victory." And the Feople gave them up without blubbering. So universal was the prosciiption that Gen. Harrison was elected Fresidcnt with the votes of every man who held an office or enjoyed the patronage of the Government against hi in! There was scarcely an exceptisn. Most of this army of office-holders have been in place twelve years. And now, when the Administration is beginning to at upon Mr. Jefferson's doctrine of "rotation in office," the Van Daren newspapers set up a long, loud, hungry howl? We can conceive of nothing more painful, or nothing better calculated to provoke contempt, than the baby cries of newspapers that have sailed under a bloody flag for twelve years. We lose all respect for an enemy whose sanguinary mode of warfare precluded tho hope of quarters, and yet who, the moment lie is beaten, goes down upon his knees and begs for his life. ollbntvi livening Journal. ....
