ISLANDER FOR CALLING a DEN
OCRAT 4 TRAITOR.

At the recent term of the Scott County
Circuit Court, Clark sued klmberhn for
calling him u traitor. The facts were
about as ivllews: In the month of Au
ssst last Ferris, Democrat, was endeuv-
oring to get up subscription 10y the citl-
sens to AID in making up company for
,Ls Union army. Clark hnd subscribed
fifty dollars, aud he and Ferris were soli-
citing the persons who came into town to
put down their names for such amount as
they could spsre. Among others Ferris
approached kimberlin, violent Repub-
licun, who said he had no money to spare.
Some conversation was had about loyalty,
when Forris said the names on the sub
scription paper were pretty good test Of
loyalty at this Kimberlin became very
angry; and just at this time Clark attempt
ed to speak to him, but had only said the
words, Uncle Dan," when Kimberlin
turned upon him and in very angry man
ner said: Il want nothing to do with you
yeu are a disloyal man AID traitor to
your country Refusing toletract, Clark
sued him for slander, III q she salt resulted
in judgment for two hundred and seven
ty dollars damages and costs. The judg-
ment was based on the verdict of jury
composed of men of all parties, ,-Nc,c

SIX REBEL WAR STEAMERS IN
THE CHINESE WATERS.

NEW YORK, Feb. 12.-The Tribune
says: A letter from our London cores
pondent contains some precise informa-
tion on a point of Importance, which has
attracted little or no attention. The
news in nutshell is that at this moment
there lis feet Of six rebel war steamers
in the Chinese waters. These vessels
we're fitted out in England by Sherrard
Osborn, an English naval Captain, and
we're recruited among officers and men of
Her Brittanic Majesty's navy.
They were under contract of the Chi
nese Government, but when they reached
China disagreement arose between Os-
born and Chinese authorities, and the
vessels were not delivered, but thrown on
the market and sold at auction, Osborn,
officers, crew guns and all, to Jefferson
Davis. 1t is not unnaturally intimated
that Osborn had some slight expectation
of reaching this result when he left Eng
land Funds for the purchase are said to
have been provided in part by the sale o.
rebel rams in the clyde.
There are now but few American ships
in the East Indies waters, and it is thought
probable that this feet, in company with
the other rebel pirates, may be detained
| TO attack San Francisco. In order tt
tshow their respect for British neutrality
the British crew take an oath of natu
ralization as citizens of the Confederacy
when the flag changes. If, therefore, SaI

OFAN EXPRESS TRAIN.

BALTIMORE, Feb. 13.-The express
passenger train which left Camden street
depot ON Thursday night for Wheeling
ami intermediate points, was captured by
a company of rebels near Kearneyville,
some miles west of Harptr's Ferry. 1t
was then surrounded by the rebels and
number of armed men entered the cars,
and the passengers, among whom of course
there was great CONSERVATION, were more
or less mulcted in the shape of ransoms
Some produced rings, &C., as equivalent
for their liberty. We are informed by
one of the sufferers who returned to this
city by the express train yesterday noon
that the aggregate amount of money ia
than $50, 600, while the jewelry was also
large. Conductor Perry, who had charge
of the train, it IS stated, was compelled
to hand over a check for 81, 800, the prop
erty of the Company.
A number OF the passengers who arriv-
