Capture of n Secession Cavalry Company
by Twenty-four Home Guards-ArrivnI
of the Prisoners at the Newport Bar
racks.
The morning train from Lexington, KY,
to-day, brought down company of forty
two SecessiOnists, who were surprised and
captured near Winchester, Clarke County,
KY, on Thursday last, by squad of twenty
four Home Guards of Winchester, under
command of Major B. F. Buckner and Cap.
tain Craddock. Owing to the confusion and
excitement incident to the arrival of the
prisoners at the railroad depot in Oovington,
we were able to learn but few particulars Of
the capture. 81. .H 'r
1t seems that Major Buckper, hearing that
q company of mounted Secessionists were
encamped on the farm of Mr.. B. f. Van Me.
tre, seven miles from Winchester, started
with twenty-four Home Guards under the
command of Captain Braddock, to capture
them. Arriving near the camp of the Sc
cessionists about noon, Major Buckner dis
covered that nearly all of them were asleep.
Their pickets, however, soon gave the alarm,
and the whole camp was instantly aroused.
The men quickly formed into line of battle,
and brought their muskets to bear on the
Home Guards. .. .
Major Buckner, with his little band, was
not idle while these preparations of the reb-
paDy into line, and they were ready at the
word Sire to pour deadly volley into the
ranks of the enemy. The commander of the
Secession company at this juncture ap-
| preached Major Buckner, signifying his de-
sire for parley, which was granted,
The rebel Captain soon returned to his
men, and after talking with them awhile it
was agreed to surrender themselves prison.

| to advance in squads of ten, and stack their

prisoners were escorted to Winchester, where
the brave little Home Guard company was
received with great Tejoicings.
The rebels were all well mounted, and
armed with United States muskets reVolVers
and Bowie. knives. Their Captain is named
J, W. Foster. He is preacher from Owen
County. The men, who are generally
young, large, and fne-looking, were recruited

Floyd County. IN
The prisoners reached Oovington at clever
o'clock this morning, under strong guard,
composed of detachments from several com
panies Of the Kentucky Regiment of Colo
mel Dadley, stationed at Lexington. A de
tachment Of troops from the Newport Bar
racks were in waiting at the depot, and wheT
the rebels disembarked, the military formed
into open ranks, and the prisoners, in tn
center, were escorted through the streets u
the Newport Barracks, .'-..--.-....---.-
A few of them seemed somewhat down
cast, but generally, they held their heads up
and looked pretty bold.
The Secession commander, when he dis
covered what a small number he had surren
dered to, appeared considerably mortified.

Hayes,s Arctic Expedition,

The Medical Society of Nova Scotia gave
dinner to DR.. Hayes commander OF the late
exploring expedition to the Arctic regions,
in the Halifax Hotel, Halifax, N. S., on Mon
day evening of last week, at which the Doc
tor gave the following brief account of his
enterprise: .....
You have intimated to me, Mr.. President,
that q sketch of our voyage would be ac-
ceptable to the gentlemen who honor me
with their courteous attention. We visited
Smith Strait on the 26lh of August of last
year. Heavy ice and stormy gales prevented
our penetrating far within the Strait; and
after being twice in jeopardy among the
bergs, and three times driven out of the
Strait by north east gales, we were forced to
90 into winter quarters on the east side of
the Strait, in latitude 7So II S. l expected
to have reached the west coast, and to have
secured a haIbor near latitude 8O'.
My plans of exploration were dependent
upon dogs, of which an ample stock had
been obtained in Southern Greenland. Most
| of these animals died during the winter, and
was obliged to take the field last spring
with q weak force, and in an unfavorable
| position. i carried with me boat mounted
upon runners for service IN the open sea to
the northward. After a trial of nearly q
month il was found that the boat could not
cordingly sent it back, and with three COM
panions and two sledges drawn by dogs, l
continued norlhward. On the l9 of May
our provisions were exhausted and we re-
turned, having reached latitude 80 35'-a
degree of NorthiDg which l believe not to
have been exceeded by any other person ex-
cept Sir Edward Parry. The land which we
explored is the nearest to the North Pole of
any which is known. Beyond that land l
believe there exists a perpetual open sea,
which may be navigated. For this purpose,
however, steam power is necessary.
1t is my purpose to renew the attempt next
| year, if circumstances prove favorable; and
am still of the opinion that with steam
power, a strong force of men and dogs, and
well organized sy stem OF advance depots
the North Pole can be reached. That the
region about the Pole should be explored
you will ] think all agree. 1t has lons
enoughremsined in terra incognito. Speaking
as one interested in the advancement o
science, l may say that care not unde
what flag the enterprise may be conducted
whether that of America, or England, o.
FranCe-Science will claim the honor Of the
achievement.
DIR. Hayes and his fellow.voyagers are ex
pected to arrive at Boston toward the clOs'
of the present week. ~

sUPERIoR COURT.

THE Doc CASE Geo. Kinsey cs. Amos
Moore. This case proceeded before Judge
Coffin. S. j Thompson and Rufus King ad-
dressed the jury for the defense, and Mr..
Egly closed for the plaintiff the former
counsel contending that Mr.. Moore had
taken every precaution that could be re.
quired of man keeping watch. dog for
the protection of his property, and that no
man could be held liable for every possible
injury that might result, where he is not in
absolute fault that the dogs were not the
feEocious beasts characterized by Mr.. Egly,
but were good watch-dogs-the meanest
thing in the world being a dog that would
not bite. Much was said about the effort
made on the other side to elicit the sympa-
thies of the jury; and in his response Mr..
Egly protested against the imputation, as
what he asked was not charity, but that
justice might be accorded to the boy, who had
suffered such grievous injuries
The case had not closed when our report
was written.
