We have 10 record talS evening unotDef ulJuslibd-
bic outrage committed by Union gunboat within
the prescribed limits Of our shores.
On Saturday last the steamer Margaret and Jessie,
Capt. Wilson, from Charleston for this port, was
lien in with by the Union steamer Rhode Islsnd
off Abaco and chased until she arrived close 10 the
shore OF James Point Eleuthera.
There would have been no legal Cause OF COM
plant had the pursuit and tiriug ceased as soon
the Margaret and Jessie approached within the dis
lance of three miles from the land bat 10 abe near
I'd tho coast, and was only 30 yards on, that il,
between the reef ana the land tho gunboat, which
was no; moro than from quarter TO half mile dis
isn't, commenced pouring IN broadside after broad
side-varylug the performance Win SHOT, grape and
shell-pot only to the imminent danger OF oil on
board (aud there were ladies' among the ph.sengers,l
but 70 the serious alarm Of the inhabitants Of the To-
land, who suddenly found themselves subjected 10
slarp and decisive bombardment. The ni-siler fired
from the Rhode leland plowed up The earth IN va
nous directions, and came IL close proximity 70, II
not actually passing through, dwellings, and driving
people 10 Geek refuge behind rocks and other pro-
,ections This was Kept up for mice, and at length
the Margaret and Jsssie received shot through her
boiler and another through her Lows, which forced
her TO take The beach, then only % yards distant.
We understand that one OF the hremen Ia injured,
and il a fatal result should ensue, II will nssurodly
be d case OF aggravated murder.
Such are the PLAIN facts OF this feroGous outrage.
No amount Of prevaIicatiOu and shutting will ens-
bic the OificeIs OF the Rhode Island 10 prove that
the ohense was committed beyond the territorial
limits Of this colony. There too many dlsiutcr-
es,ed witnesses to the transIc,On wbose testimony
will outweigh any combination 70 Iefyert be truth.
When the zane vessel fired into the steamer Sinus
few weeks ago. there weru 10 spectators shore 10
determine The distance, and the assertion OF Tue
commander that he wac ivo miles oil WIS received
as cOncu,iSe. But the tain Of the SInus, Whose
character for yeracty cannot beiupe4ched, omphgtI
cblly stated that he was hTcd nj within Two ucs Of
tue land.
| II Is high time indeed thu, the Home Government
should ACT euergetIcalIy with respect 10 these az
/ gressions. Certainly the circumstances connected
with tie attack The Margaret and jessie and on
Eleuthera, are 20 hagrant that they cannot we'll be
overlooked; and while 40 doubt reparsiion Will he
expected and made, yet the iutimstion should be
conveyed also that repetition VI such Outrage5 vii!
not be tolerated. 1t Will require IN future not the
exercise OF forbearance, bat OF hrmness TO prevent
u rupture OF peaceful relations.
Snce pennibe the above we have been informed
that two men engaged III fishing oil Eleutnera were
struck by the missiles fired from the gnnboat.
lie steamer Kaccoon was specially dispatched 10
Eleuthera Oh Monday by the agents Of the Margaret
and jesse, Mcssrs H. AdderlY & Co., in order ~
and arrived here yesterday.
Tie Guardian Of the 18th ul.. says:
"1he Union steamer Chippewa arrived yesterday
from 81. 1hoBas, and having communicated with TIE
L. s. Consul left soon attefward."
From IDagua We learn that rain had fallen at tint
island. The prospects Of ssl.-rsking were very
encouraging Ills season. n cOnse Iuence VI the slight
demand Tor aud low prices Of tue staple product,
AT Turks Islands, The supply Of ealt remaining on
hand from ast years crUp was sufficient 10 meet any
demand, ut prices from 6s 10 cents per bushel.
The Rev. DIR. McClare, for 70 years prominent
Presbyterian minister Of Nassau, died recently.
