Affairs at henderson.

The state of affairs at Henderson still
enlist the profound interest of all classes,
and it seems almost impossible to arrive at
any just conclusion from the many cor fl Ct
ing stories that reach this city.
Citizens who left Henderson on Thursday
night, reported that the guerrillas had left
the place, after stealing what hospital
stores, blankets, medicines, guns, ammuni-
ton, &C, &C., hat they could find. john
son made a SPEECH, in which be declared he
would not suffer any private property mo-
Tested or injured. He confessed be had bad
men in his band, horse-thieVes robbers, and
nurderers-- but be intended to govern
them. There were still some others stealing
and pluudering around the country on. his
credit, and if they did not join him land
share the plumber with him, we suppose,)
he would shoot them down wherever he
found them. johnson wants 10 have
monopoly of the business He issued a
flaming proclamation, which we publish in
another place. he styles John @. Breckn-
ridge statesman and a patriot, when ev-
erybody knows he is perjured traitor. A
number of the marauders were 10 Hender-
son yesterday mOrning-Fisher. Hicks, and
others of like character.
Their movement would seem to indicate
that they are playing off and on, so as TO
lure some of the Union men back to town,
that they may crown their villainy with
murder.
They will, it is to be hoped stay little
too long in Henderson. The vengeance of
the people is pretty well aroused, and the
Government they have insulted, and the
the laws they have outraged, have marked
these fellows for punishment. 1t will fall
on them when least expected. The cup
of their iniquity is almost full.
About J o'clock the Eugene arrived and
reported that they had not been molested.
1t was reported that about thirty guerrillas
were in town, but were not doing anything.
One of them was sitting on his horse on the
bank watching the boat. He was supposed
to be picket.
The Commercial and Lebanon came in
later in the day, but brought nothing new
1t was reported during the afternoon that
some 25 of the guerrillas were on the point
! or miles below town.
| 1t was also said that some forty of them
had started for Green River to intercept
/ the Matte Cook, and get her mail.
We give these reports as we get them, as
in the midst of so many conflicting rumors,
it is impossible to determine what is the
truth.
