D sgusting Treachery and Negligence

Yesterday, AT day light, the steamer Plan.
ter, in the ab.ence Of her officers, was taken
by four or five of her. colored crew f.om
| her berth AT Southern " harf 10 the en.my's
le~t. She il 4 nigh pressure cotton boat,
OF light dr"nght furmerly plying on the
Pee Dee River, but iauerly chartered by
;hc Gorernment, with her officers and crew,
from Mr. Ferguson, her owner, and used Ms
transport and guard boat about tho hur.
Dor OF Charleston. Her arniuuIeut was
81 pUHnder and - pound huwitzer The
evening previous, she nId tancn aboard
four guns for one OF the newly erected
works, either that on Morris Island or
f"I, Timher. vi1 ii poTr,do-, rlfcd and
banded, All incn culumbiad. both Of which
bad been struck III the reduction Of Fort
Sumter, an inch ssa-coast howilzer, and
II 81 FOUNDER. These guns w.ro to have
gone 10 their destination early in the morn
ing. and been mounted yesterday. Three
scntnes We're stationed in sight OF her,
aud detail Of twenty men were within
hail for tho relief OF the post. Between
half pas. three and four O'clock, the Planter
steamed up aud cast lpo,e, the ssntinuIs
having no suspicion Of foul play, and think
ing she Was going about her business. At
Qmrter-prst four O'clock. shs passed Fort
Sumter, blowing her whistle, ana plainly
seen. She MAS reported by the corporal Of
| the guard AS the guard boat, 10 the officer
OF the day, Cupr. Fleming, one Of The best
aud most reliable officers Of the garrison.
! The fo?t is only called on TO recognize su.
thorized boats passing, taking for granted
that they have their officers aboard. This
VAS done as usual. The run to Morris Is.
Land goes II iorg why out past the fort, and
then turns. The Planter on this trip did
not turn. The officers Of The Planter were
lt"Iyea Captain, Smith Mate, and Pitcher
Engineer. They have been arrested, and
viii, We learn, be tried by court-mariiaI fol
disobedience o! u standing general order
draught steamers in the employment Of the
Government vii! remain on board day and
night.
The resui, of this negligence may DO on
ly the !os, Of the guns aud Of the boat, de.
sirabls for transportation. Dat things o.
this kind are sometimes OF InraIculable in
jury. The lives and property OF this who!,
community are at stake, and might be jeo
pardcd by events apparently as trifing II,
this. u is, therefore, due TO the servic,
aud TO the cause, that this breach Of discio
line, however innocent in intention on tn,
part Of the officers, should DC dealt with n
