The Memphis Bulletin of Saturday
last says:
We were on board of the Emma No.
yesterday, and noticed some of the
holes made in her by the bullets of the
guerrillas, on her down trip few days
ago, at Island 65. She must have been
within short range, as some of the balls
went through both sides of her smoke

room, and seventeen through her pilot
house Although the balls passed very
near many persons, strange to say, no
one was hit. One man had a ball to
pass through the sleeve of his coat while
it hung to his arm. The guerriIlas con-

reported to have had brother among
them, went upon deck, when they recog-

their great gallantry would not allow
them to endanger the life of woman.

a recent fight under Meade, in Virginia.
His thigh was badly torn and shattered |
by piece of shell, and he died in a
He was very exemplary young man,
well known to our citizens, by whom he
was we'll liked We were very sorry to |
hear of his death. One other member

The same paper also contains the fol-
lowing:
A man residing in Crawford county,
was recently robbed of some eight hun
dred dollars, part of which was in gold
and silver. Shortly afterwards John R.
Winders, Henry Winders, Jr, and
young man by the name of Walker, all
formerly of this county, were arrested on
suspicion of having committed the rob
