We regret to learn that tho s,eamer q +
Hiiiman with 3i15 900 worth of ammunition
purchased in ST Louis. and DIES tined for Nash
NiIte, WAS captured at Cairo this morning
about O'Clock
II appears that the Commander of the mill
tary forces at Cairo, having been made ac-
Pn2ihted with the large amount of ammun-
s.oh on board the Hiliman, started the steamer
o~aiioWt steamer which has been fitted
( up ike the 'tB, b. Cheney" as a sor of man
of'war. was provided with soldiers and can
non, and started up the river to meet the
hihman About O'Clock this morning
the "Swallowh met the Hilman about
eight miles above Cairo, and Captain
Oorbitt of the Hiliman, being hailed from the
! o"allow, and supposing that they merely
he'd TO make some commu nication, per
mitted her to land alongside, when an officer,
backed by soldiery, presen tad himself, and
o"inanaee possession of the boat. Captain
! coFpit', having no means to defend himself,
WAS compelled TO obey, He, however, re-
| fused to land at Cairo, but did at Byrd s
Point, on the Missouri side, and the officer
| threatened TO open the battery upon him,
but he persisted in his refusal saying that 1t
! they wished 10 destroy the boat they might do
! SO, bUt he wonld never land at Cairo, After
! wards the soldiers had the Hiilman lowed
I over TO the Cairo side of the river, aud was
/ told If lie would wait TIL the arms and am
muntion were taken out, he might have his
/ boat. But he refused 10 take the boat unless
/ they would let him have its contents. This
was refused him, and he and all his crew left
his boat, and took the first train for Nash Vile.
This Information comes from Col. II. IL. Har-
rison, the agent of Gov. Harris who was on
The Hlliman TT the time, and who has tele-
grapled The substance OF the above " Nash
: Vile.
! Every Tennesseean is justly indignant at this
outrage. Some nrge the propIiety OF going III
once 10 Cairo and cleaning ont the Abolition
horde, while others think n more moderate
course dee rable. There ara three sieamboa Is
owned in Cincinnati and running between
I Memphis and New Orleans. There are the
! Mars, now being uuloaded at Helena and the
ohio Belle. Ought they not to bs seized by
our authorities, and held until the sl55 ,0ut
tennessee properly is surrendered at Caro-
| If this sugges ton is deemed wise, our au hor-
tiles ought 10 act at once, for one Of these
boats, now below, is pected up in the course
of tins afternoon or night. The matter is be-
fore the authorities, and we are content TO
leave Il to them. We believe, however, that

perty and TO clear out the vile horde no
