have been effected under the recent act of
Congress, and 30 vessels are now awaiting a

they not detained, many of the vessels on
blockade duty, would have to go out of SER

1t appears from an official communication
of the Secretary of War, that the strength
Of the forces in Kansas and the Indian terri
ritories, subject to the order Of Gen. Curtis,

Piundtring goods from The Bohemian
Yesterday, on the complaint of George E. b.
Jackson, Esq, Assistant U. S. District Attor-
ney, Nathaniel Dyer, j. n. Brown and Lemuel
Dyer, of Cape Elizabeth, were brought before
L. 5. Commissioner VIM. H. Clifford, Esq,
eharged,with plundering goods from the wreck
OF the steamship Bohemian on Monday night.
Among the articles plundered were one piece
Of Brussels carpeling, one piece of cashmere,
and various other articles.
The goods were discovered in wagon which
was coming away from the beach near the
wreck. The men employed by the Steamship
Company to watch for and secure the goods
that came ashore, took possession of them
and conveyed them to the Cape lights for Sc
eurity. From that place the goods were again
stolen that night. U. S. Marshal Clark, how
ever, discovered that the goods were secreted
in barn on the Cape, under a quantity OF
peat, and he recovered them
The accused offered no testimony, but made
their own statements, to the effect that they
had been engaged in fishing for goods, and had
saved the articles found in their possession
which they were conveying to place OF safety
when stopped by the guard. They allege that
they knew nothing about the goods being
stolen after they were taken to the lighthouse
They were ordered by the Commissioner to
recognize in the sum of $500 each for theiI
appearance at the u. S. Circuit Court on the
