Of the affair from the officers of the Cricket
and Boston:
1t appears that the massacre of number
of the 9th Virginia regiment. stationed there,
| was premeditatcd on the part of the rebel
cavalry and citizens of Gyandotte. On Sun
day evening, the majority of our troops, by
Invitation, went to hear a sermon by promi-
nent minister, while others were invited to
spend the evening at the houses of citizens.
While at worship, between the hours of seven
and eight, jeff. Jenkins rebel cavalry, num-
bcring 400 or 800, galopcd into town, and
Unexpectedly attacked our soliiery, on!y a
few Of whom were armed, the regiment being
in state of formation. Our force only num-
bered SOL 200 men, many Of whom, as pre-
vously stated, were without arms. The reb-
ell cavalry AID citizens acted in concert, as
signals were displayed from the houses in
which our boys were quartered. Even the
vi PioNS po P"tCo III tiiC ilidSSd-
ere by firing on our men from the windows
and d yors of their houses. Our troops being
overpowered, had to fly, fighting hard as they
retreated. The worst conflict was en- the
bridge which spans Sugar River. We are in
formed that the floor of the bridge was red
with the blood of both our troops and that of
the enemy. A number of both sides were
thrown into the river, and several drowned.

of the rebels were also killed and wounded -
The rebels were in high glee all night long
over their cowardly triumph.
Col Zegler arrived from Ceredo on The fol-
lowing morning with force of 400 infantry,
when the dastardly towards retreated num-
Der, however, being captured. The torch
was applied to the houses and nearly all
burned. The last four or five houses were
being fired when the steamer Cricket passed |
down. Capt Honshell of the Boston, de-
sires us to state that Col. Zeigler protested
against burning the property, but was unabl,

to offer apoliges for having entered
into what some profane wag has called
the "holy bands Of paddock" One
man says he married to get house
keeper another, to get rid of bad
company. Many women declare that
they get married for the sake of a
home few acknowledge that their
motive was to get husband. Goe-

to be "respectable.'' John Wilkes
said he took wife "to please his
friends" Wycherly, who espoused
his housenald, said he did it "to spite
his relations. A widow, who mar
lied a second husband, said she want

for the loss Of her first. Another, be.
