A letter says : .Air. Boyden, the receiver, was sitting in hi oHlce i ' iheceunter, with bis back to the do »r, about ii o'clock in tbe evening, making up b a mnt with the (t. v >n.ment. preparatory to leaving for Dubuque with the Government funds, when a p.-r- in 1 ntered the d -. r, turned the key, and stepped up behind Mr. Boyden, and putting <-f tbe light with one hand ana placing the tier over lib month, in an iustam the robber inserted an instrument into Mi B.s mouth, with which he prevented bim from •ailing out for assistance, or making auy al inn -at the same time presenting a pistol t i his bead and threatening him with instant leath if he made the least noise. The next mo ment lie passed a bed-cord with a slip-noose around Ins lefi wrist, (Mr. li. has butonearm.) bringing it instantly to bia backhand raiding Mr. It's no itt foot, tied his wrist and ankle together, passing tbe cord around Ins bodj a nd across his mouth; be then bound him to iho legs of ;'.!'• large writing desk whi< h stands iv tl " same room, and in that condition left him lying on the floor, face downwards. He sprang over the counter and tool; from the safe, which happened to be open, the amount of money io gold a.- abo\e stated, and went out of the front il ior. All this musl have been done in less than eight minutes*. Mr. Hoyden lay in this condi tion probably not tdexceed ten minutes, mean while coming ,-pry near strangling todeatb.
