'''."On the last trip of the Charley Bow
en-, gentleman at Paducah called on Capt.
Dexter, as a friend, and advised him to take
down his flag, or mob would be likely to
take it down for him, in case he refused to
do so. Mr.. Given, OF the firm of Watts,
Given & Co., getting wind Of the affair,
told the Captain to keep his flag flying, as
the citizens of Paducah would not tolerate
any interference with his boat or flag, and
if any body did attempt to mob the boat, it
would be only some drunken fellows. Capt |
Dexter thought he could provide suitable
reception for such fellows without any in
convenience. We learn that Col Prentiss, |
at Cairo, provided him with arms and am
munition to repel the attack of any ire
sponsible mob.
