rivals from below, that the guerillas are again
engaged in the nefarious pracice Of tiring'in-
to bouts. It seems to be their intention to
stop navigation entirely, or at least to pro-
duce such fear in the minds of the people
as to greatly diminish tho amount Of trade.

rived last evening from Vicksburg, brought

We learn from Columbus, Ky:, that aqont
two o'clock this morning tho guard house
was discovered to be On fire, and before much

damage done

arc all Jews, as stated BY contemporaries, is
undoubtedly m error.
