There are now some forty prisoners

more being arrested.
What the end of this state of thing:
will be. we cannot tell; but if the Gov.
eminent does not now take the matter
in hand, we fear that the terribly exas,
pe-ated soldiery and citizens will. Union
men have long been threatened and
Union soldiers have been so bitterly
cursed, and now brutality butchered, BY
those from whom better things had been
expected, that forbearance will cease

here, and the soldiers at the front, are
e~ndeavorlng to uphold the laws of the
land but they cannot, and will not
stand unconcernedly by and see their
fellows a~ssassinated for so doing.

Union men on a common platform until

A serious affair happened on Friday,
April LIST in our city. While the guard
on duty at the guard-hOuse on Main
street was quietly walking his beat, he
was sccosted by a stranger with demand
for his revolver, who at the same time
passed the guard and attempted to get
into the guard house, disregarding re-
peated challenges to halt he was pushed
back from the door by a soldier, when
he assaulted the guard to take his pistol
and the guard shot him, the ball en-
terlng Ender the chin; he expired in a
few minutes. An inquest held upon the
deceased gave a verdict that death was
caused by being shot by the guard ndis-
charge Of his duty. The guard has been
e~xhonerated from all blame.
The name of deceased was VIM. Har-
den. He was either in liquor at the
time or just getting over the effects of a
spree, and is supposed to have been a
little deranged. This is sad warning
against tampering with a guard while on
duty, they have no right to know any one
while on duty save their officers. and can
mol stop and ascertain whether a man is
ane or insane, drunk or sober, and all
should bear in mind that they must halt
a. soOn as challenged.

THE ATTACK ON PADUCAH.

Several families arrived in the city
yesterday afternoon, who are sufferers
by The recent fight at Paducah. They
left the town on Saturday afternoon at
two o'clock, the day after Forrest had
made the attack and been repulsed.-
They tell a sad story of the misery and
wreck of property entailed upon the peo-
pie by the fight. The rebels were in
large force, and the assault appears to
have been similar to the one made on
Fort Donelson in the winter of sixty-three.
The rebels were g%loriously drunk, and
but little better than a mob. They made
the attack upon Paducah, without giving
the citizens a word of warning. The
Federal force evacuated the immediate
city, and concentrated at the fort, erected
on an eminence. a short distance in the
rear of the town, With wild cheers and
blasphemous oaths the rebel hordes
thronged the streets and commenced an
indiscriminate pillage of the houses
They discharged their pieces in a reok-
less manner, w~ounding many of the eiti-
zens. AT last Forrest succeeded In raj.
lying his force, and, forming the regi-
ments in battle line, several desperate
charges were made upon the fort. The
Federals me- them with a whitening fire
and in each onset the rebel columns were
broken and driven back in confusion
The forces inside of the fort consisted of
Colonel Cunningham's colored troops
and a Kentucky regiment, the whole un-
der the command of Colonel Hicks
Colonel Hicks ordered the town to be
fired and soon a black cloud of smoke
rolled above the burning buildings
About this time two gunboats arrived
No. SO and No. 80, The citizens were
fleeing from the town, many of them
taking refuge in the fort; the buildings
near the Notifications were in a sheet of
fame, while a portion of the rebel column
were rallying in the streets away from
the fire for another charge. The gum
boats rounded to, and %squaring their
broadsides, they raked the streets with
grape and canister, bursting a shell here
and there. The slaughter was terrible.
and the rebels rapidly retreated from the
town. Many of the citizens were killed
and wounded by this terrible raking fire.
The lines renamed quiet during the
night. The next day the steamer Liberty
arrived from Nashville, and the Captain
kindly offered to take as many citizens
on board as his boat would carry and re
move them from the scene of Danger
Many of the terrified people availed
themselves of the Captains humane offer.
When the Liberty left Paducah the
rebels were forming and advancing to
make another attack. The town was
still burning, and the blackened ruins
doomed sadly from out the hanging clouds
of smoke. Il was indeed a wild, tragic
scence. The passengers huddled on the
steamer, gazed with fearful eyes on the
ruined city, and they knew that they
were homeless wanderers. The rebel
dead lay scattered along the river bank,
and throughout the deserted Streets
Women and children had fallen victims
to the fight; some were killed outright,
others were suffering from painful
wounds.-Lou. Journal.

A few mornings ago the people of St.
Joseph were thrown into a state of won
der and trepidalion at finding a white
cross marked nthe walls of every Radi-
ical Unionist's house in the CITY, and on
the house of some tolerably liberal Cop
perheads! What could 1t portend. Says
the Tribune;
Copperheads and rebels trembled least
it should prove a certificate of exemption
from a general massacre by an outraged
people, who having determined that for
bearance is no longer a virtue, had deci-
ded to take the matter in their W hams
and ride themselves of a nuisance no LODI
ger endurable, aud had placed a mark
upon each house not consigned to des-
;ruction, that when the avangers came
they might pass them by. On The other
hand the, RAIDS were curious to know
whether, now that the pawpaws where
being disbanded and turned like wolves
upon an unprotected fold, that they had
not concluded to go at their old trade of
house burning and murder, and were
about to commence business in St. Joseph
and had accordingly spotted the dwell
ngs of the hated Radicals. Jacobins, Alb
~pliuonists, Yankees, etc. las the Herald
man calls them)
The Tribune proceeds TO explain that
a new carrier of that paper, determining
TO remember the houses at which he was
to deliver the Tribune, had ridicuIously
ehalked each house, little expecting how
they would appear in the glare of the
day, and the surprise and curiosity they
would cause those who could not under
stand them!

Real estate is advancing with astonish-
ing rapidity in the East. The wave once
started. will quickly roll to the far West.
1t now seems probable hat land every
where in the loyal States will be doub-
led in market value in less than nine
months. As. an example OF the buoyant
tendency of real estate, we clip the fol-
lowing item from the World"
An ex-mayor of the city, who lived in
an elegant residence, in sumptuous style,
was visited one day by two ladies who
asked permission to look at his house,
stating that the house next door was for
sale, but the occupants would not allow
them to view it. His honor ~courteously
informed them that the houses in that
block were exactly alike, and they might
examine his house as fully as they pleas
ed. On leaving. one of the laGies said
to him, l suppose you would not sell your
house? Oh. yes, said his honor, | will
sell anything but my wife and children.
That afternoon he received a note from
"a leading real estate house, asking him if
he would sell his house and at what price.
He offered it at $4,000. The offer
was taken at once. The papers were
passed and the money paid that night.
The mex day it was sold for $4,000.
Two or three things in this transaction
made bis honor a little unquiet. He Of
fered his house $4,000 less than his
next door neighbor asked. He had to
abandon bis luxurious and comfortable
home instantly. He was literally turned
into the street. Somebody made $780,
600 out of him. Getting a fashionable
residence at any price was out of the
question. Nothing remained for him but
the overcrowded Fifth Avenue Hotel.
He is now with his family in the attic
story waiting for something to turn up.
