TERRIBLE AFFRAY.---We learn fran Captain
Burk of the Kate kearney down this morning
from Rock Island, that terrible fight occurred
between the crew of the Martha No. and
portion OF the deck passengers on board that boat,
while she under WHY just below Louisi-
ana, on Tuesday morning, on her way up to Ga
lena.
Some four of the parties are said to have been
killed or MORALLY wounded and a number OF 9TH
ers seriously injured The mate of the Kate
kearney informs that he learned on enquiry,
that two of the hands were dead, and two OF the
wounded passengers are in dying con dition.
The difficulty is said to have grown out OF an
attempt on the part of one of the hands to COM
NIT an outrage upon the wife of one OF the deck
pass engers. This being resented, general fight
ensued, in which knives and other deadly weapons
were freely used.
All we are able to learn of the circumstances of
the case is that on the commission of the offence
by the deck hand, which led to the fight, the hus-
band of the lady knocked him down and also had
a scuffle with two or three of his comrades; after
which, Capt. Afford sent two of the deck hands
ashore.
AL was quiet for while, but late in the night
nearly the whole of the crew armed themselves
with whatever they could, and going back in body
attacked the passengers, consisting of an old man
about 60 years of age, his two sons and sever te-
males) in the dark and though the men fought
desperately, succeedingin overpowering and bea-
ting them III most brutal manner.
Three of the assaiants were left on the deck
badly wounded. The old man (the father of the
family and two of his sons, it is supposed, are
mortay wounded They (the family were landed
at Louisiana.
One of the deck hands engaged in the bloody
affair." got ashore at Louisiana, aud was Immediate
| in "A
arm.
Since writing the above we have seen a per-
son WHO was ON the boat at the time. He confirms
the account above given, and says that the fami-
ly spoken of were Americans of very respectable
character
