GUERRILLAs EsAR EEwBURG We are
informed BY two gentlemen that band
of gusrrillas, forty or fifty in number,
under command Of the notorious Dick
Yates, made their appearance on the
Kentucky shore, opposite Newburg, yes
terday. They came down to the river
and watered their horses and then pro-
ceeded to house below where they took
dinner. after which they proceeded up
the river. The impotence and boldness
Of these prowling scoundrels is bscom-
ing greater and greater daily, and unless
the border is put in state Of defense,
and that speedily We may expect a visit
on this side Of the river, from these bold
thieves
Evansville has never been in as great
danger as she is now, and our people
were never so unconscious of the dan
ger. If we are once aroused to q sense
Of danger the danger will be past
Our men of wealth would do well to
look this matter fair in the face. We do
not desire to alarm-we only wish to
wars.

into whose hands has been given the
charge of all siege operations in front,
has been for the past few days constant
" in the saddle, superintsnding the pla-
cling Of batteries and testing the value of
positions. Some of orr batteries have
been constructed under great disadvan-
tags, the men being obliged to lie on
their bellies and dig holes sufficiently
deep to protect them from the rebel Ere.
