Turning Of a Steamer by GuerilIas

CAIRO, Feb. 20.-The towboat Hercules was
burned by guerillas on Tuesday stjust above
Memphis, at about the same spot where the
Mussullman ana G:ampus No. 2 met the same
fate. The first that was known of the affair,
was about 2 o'clock her burning hulk came
floating down and lodged on the opposite shore
from the upper end of the city. A steam tug
which had started and steamed up the river
some time before, had found her tied to the Ar
kansas shore, together with seven coal barges
she had in tow. She was cut loose and got out
from among the barges. One of these latter
caught fire and sunk near the shore, where it
is thought the coal can be recovered. The 9TH
ers are uninjured. Part of the coal belonged to
N. G. Bigley, Of Memphis, and the rest to the
Government. There were abundant traces of
a struggle on the muddy shore, and the body
of one man. apparently a deck hand was found
pierced with two musket balls, either of which
would have been fatal. The citizens of Hopes
field, near which village the wreck stranded,
were much frightened lest Gen. Sherman's or
der of determination should be executed upon
them. Every house put out a white flag
There were twenty-iV or thirty horsemen of
the guerillas, and what disposition of their pris-
oners they have made is not yet known.
