Dispatches.

The following is telegrsphic dispatch received
hero, yesterday, through the grace of some Black
Republican Governor:
CAIRO April 26.-The steamer C. E. Hillmau,
from St Louis to Nashville, was abandoned by her
officers. The deserted boat was found to contain
1000 kegs Of powder and other cotraband ar
tices
The facts Of the capture as we learn them from
passenger on the boat at the time, as follows
Eight miles above Cairo. OF the Missouri shore,
the steamer Swallow, with heavy piece of ord
nance. and company of armed men, came along
side. The Hillman was heavily laden, her
guards dragging the water, which retarded
her progress. The Swallow was flying hghE
and under these circumstances, the faster ooat
Of the two. When the Swallow came along
side, she put the military eommahoAnI
aboard the Hillman, who demanded that the hlhman
should come to at Cairo for the purpose OF under
going a search, when, if found with munitions OF
war they were to be taken off and the boat allowed
to proceed On being asked under whose authority
this procedure was nstgated, the ofhcer repedG Gov
Yates of Illinois The Captain of the hlllman reph
ed he had nothing more on board than he was accus
toned 10 carry for merchants Of Nashville lie con-
scented under protest to land there but upon advice
concluded TO land the boat at Birds Point the Mis-
souri shore. After so doing, the boat being thor
oughly tied to the wharfboat and shore, the de-
mand was made to have her united, and moved
over to Cairo, which was refused by the Hillman's
commandment, when the military commander said, if
the boat was not united within ten minutes, he
would let loose the cannon upon her and make
hole in her between wind and water upon this
threat nearly the entire crew, refusing to take the
boat Cairo, in quick order, left her, with their
luggage, doubtless believing the officer would carry
into effect the threat of firing She then taken
possession Of by the Illinois authorities, and car
ried to Cairo. Such act Of hostility upon the
part of the State of Illinois ttward the State of
Tennessee cannot but arouse the deepest indgna-
ton of people, and fully satisfy them of the in
tentions of Black Republicanism. We presume
that the Governor of Illinois intends to send in
bullets the hundred tons of lead which he has pi-
radically obtained from the Hillman.
