BUSHWHACKING ON THE MIS-
SOURI,.

On Saturday morning, March 28th, at
two O'Clock, the steamboat Sam Gaty stop
ped at Sbly Landing, about thirty miles be-
low independence. She was coming up from
st. Louis, and had on, besides her ordinary
freight, seventysix contrabands sent by
Gen. Curtis to Gen. Blunt.
At Sibly the river runs within thirty feet
of the bank. and it was at this point that
McCioy, Captain of the Gaty, says the boat
was fired into by Todd's guerilas, and or
dered TO stop. The shots came from mus
kets or revolvers, the rebels having no can
non. Many think the boat mi ht have
backed down and escaped, but she did not,
the pilot running her IN shore. Only few
persons on tie boat were awake at the time.
As soon as the Gaty landed a party of
bushwhackers rushed on board, took the
Captain prisoner, and made other arrange
ments for their work of murder and robbery
They knew that the contrabands were on the
boat and also knew the names of many pas
sengers. How they obtained this informa
ton we are unable to tell. Inquiries were
made for Mr., Wilson of the Fifth Kansas. who
had taken charge of the contrabands on the
trip up from Helena, Arkansas. One Of
Col. Penick's soldiers was taken tor Wilson
and Immediately killed. Another white man
was murdered soon after.
Todd led the assassins In person. The
boats money was taken, every passenger
who could be found was robbed of money.
watches, arms and such clothing as the reb-
els wanted.
Two or three thousand dollars worth of
Government freight was thrown into the
river, some of the passengers being compel
led to help in the work of destruction. There
were about thirty five passengers. and they
were very glad to escape with their lives
But the most terrible part of the tragedy
is yet to be told. The principal object of
the guerillas was to destroy the U. s. prop
ertY, and kidnap the contrabands. The ne
groes were marched off the boat and placed
in line. A part of the murderers took
positions few feet from the poor, helpless
creatures. As the revolvers were drawn a
terrible shrek escaped from the women and
children. The assassins did not hear il;
the order was given to fire. and fifteen fell
dead. The boat was just moving away as
this act was perpetrated by the inhuman
monsters. That deadly cry will never be
forgotten by those who heard it-a cry of
anguish and of horror by the innocent and
defenceless!
This is one of the most terrible deeds re-
corded in this or any other civil war, and
one which may lead TO terrible retaliation.
Thirteen of the contrsbands escaped from
the boat when the robbery commenced. ran
up the river. and were picked up by the Gaty
eight miles above.
There was a report here yesterday that
the raat IF the nasTroes uzor0 killed after the
boat left-Le0v Conservative.

son, receiving but slight damage Five of
them remained after running past but lay
ing, out Of reach of the enemy's batteries,
above while two of them came on up to
Vicksburg. On the way up they encoun-
tered the Indianola and Queen of the West.
The Indianola was captared with bu. slight
resistance.
A gentleman just arrived from Young's
Point, says there are indications that warm
work may be expected. Farragut's fleet had
passed the batteries at Port Hudson. with a
loss of the steamer Mississippi. Six steam
ers succeeded in getting By and are now be-
low the mouth of the canal Yesterday
morning heavy and continuous firing was
heard at Yazoo; reports being mostly oflight

The Times dispatch says refugees who
arrived within cur lines yesterday, confirm
the statement that the rebel army is falling
back from fredericksburg. and is being
massed in the deiences before Richmond.
They state the entire force left at Fred
ericksburg on Sunday night to have been
only 5000. They also confirm the news
that the gun making machinery and ordi-
nance stores are being rapidly removed from
Richmond into Georgia. That the with
drawal ofiamilies from the city has fully set
in, and that sales of property are being forced
at ruinous loss. They also state that the
acknowledged loss by cavalry soldiers in
Richmond sustained in the recent thrashing
Averill gave them. was between 400 and 500
killed and wounded. Among the killed was
Col. Lagrange of North Carolina.
We have Memphis dates of tha 24th and
25th. The rebel batteries are still throw
ing shot and shell upon the men employed
on the-eana, but no body has been hurt thus
far. Heavy firing was heard in the direction
of Yazoo river just before the boat left, sup
posed to come from the troops scot up Steel's
Bayou. Grand results are anticipated from
the troops and gunboats.
By the last steamer from England, we learn
and attendant rejoicings, absorbed all atten-
ton. The ceremony came off al Windsor
on the Goth, with great pomp and brilliancy.
The day was holiday and one of public
rejoicing throughout England. During the
wedding ceremonies several women were
crushed to death, and upwards of oae hund
red persons had limbs broken. Several
riots occurred and the streets had to be
cleared several times by soldiers at the point
of the bayonet.
By arrival we have Memphis advices to the
evening OF the 26th. The steamer Cont

on Saturday. P. M, Farraguts steamers
Hartford and Macarona came up When
opposite Warrenton the batteries opened fire
upon them, but the rebel artillel ymeu did
not drive them off. After passing Warren
ton and taking a general survey of the posi-
ton, they turned and went back with the
same ease with which they came up. Meth
er vessel received the slightest damage, al
though the rebels kept up continuous
firing during the passage. On Wednesday
morning party of the 3Oth regular cavalry
twenty five in number, had a skirmish with
about one hundred guerillas, six miles above

driven off.

me DeIaware Reserve.

We understand that squad of soldiers
have been driving of the settlers from their
lands The lands having been purchased
by the Railroad Company, many honest men
supposed the Company might fail, and then
the lands would revert TO the Indians, or
TO the Government IN trust for The Indians;
but the Railroad Company have now secured
sufficient aid to render it certain that they
will be able to build the road, which was the
only condition to their getting the land; and
hence the only safe way is to purchase of the
Company. These are the very best lands IN
Kansas. The Kansas Valley, on the north
side especially, is scarcely surpassed IN any
country for fertility of soil. We passed over
the new road to Oskaloosa a few days ago,
and we've astonished At the amount of good
timber on this Reserve, as it is called-no
longer an Indian Reserve, but open to sale
and settlement. We think the Railroad
Company is ready TO sell on liberal terms,
aud the road which they are compelled to
build, will add double and treble to the value
of the lands. It will, besides, be great help
our city to have these lands settled upon
and improved. Several of our citizens have
purchased fine locations, and many substan-
tiai improvements have been made. There
is no need OF persons desiring good farms.

WHERE THE V1CKsBuRG REBELS WILL Go.
Our success in the Yazoo river involves the
discontinue, not only of the army at Vicks
bnrg. but also of the forces at Grenada. and
we have information that there are at least
twenty thousand men there. At the present
stage of water, the YalIabuska is said to be
navigable TO within ashort distance of Gren-
ada, and the railroad between Grenada and
Jackson, which, at this time of the year, is
the only feasible method of communication,
can be destroyed very easily. Vicksburg,
jackson, Port Hudson, and Grenada, must
fall at the same time. If the rebels find
themselves compelled TO leave these points,
it's thought the greater portion of them will
go to Chattanooga, where Joe Johnson will
make his next fight against Rosecrans.
Some of them will go to Columbus, Ga,
which is being strongly fortified.
