EXCITEMENT AT MAYSVHLE-THRE
ENED OPPOSITION To THE PASSAGE
OF TROOPS By RIVER AT THAT POINT
We learn by a gentleman direct from
Maysville, Kentucky, on Monday night
says the Pittsburg Post, that there was an
intense excitement at that place. The
Secessionists were in the ascendant, and
enraged at the passage OF Portsmouth
troops for this city, on the river steamers.
1t was known that company was on
board the Bostona coming down. and the
Secessionists had planted five cannon on
the wharf, six and eight Founders, with
the purpose Of firing into the boat. The
scoundrels had endeavored to intimidate
Capt M'Clain, and induce him to refuse
passage to troops. He deied them, how
ever, and they hearing of the fight at Bal
tim0rc, were resolved to fire into his boat
Our informant left Maysyille on Pitts
burg boat at FIVE clock, and half an hour
after leaving, the passengers on the Pitts
burgh boat heard several shots, which
were thought to have been the firing at
the Bostona.
