Another RebeI Raid.

| b yesterday morning the people OF our CITY
were thrown into a state of considerable ex-
citem ent by what appeared to be authentic
intelligence that force of Rebel Cavalry
was at Flemingsburg, and would be here
during the day. 1t was understood that
one principal object ofthis raid, was to pro-
cure horses, and clothing. Accordingly all
all of our Livery Stable men, with one ex-
ception, prepared to meet the coming storm.
by sending their horses across the river,
and many other persons owning similar
property adopted a like precautiou.
Between 8 and O'Clock P. N. our un-
welcome visitors made their appearance
about 30 10 number, and commanded by the
notorious PETE EVERETT, the Same office,
who headed the rebel raid which visited ms
in June 1868. They came into town in q
much more quiet and orderly manner than
rhey die last year, aud were in the heart OF
the town before heir presence was gener-
ally known. They had with them large
drove OF very fne horses, which they had
captured on their way here.
They Immediately commenced their search
for horse flesh, but did not, owing to the
precautions before referred to, m AXE an ex-
tensiVs haul as they, doubtless, hoped aud
expected. They found all the Livery Sta =
bles empty, with the exception of our friend
Thos. Daulton, who not having the fear oil
rebel love for horse flesh before his eyes,
had failed to remove his stock to place of
safety. Our martial visitants, made a wish
tation to his stable, and as we have under
stood, at first left him nary boss; but there
being among the number black mailed two
very fine and valuable Stations, thew final
~ upon representa- tions and remonstrauce
agreed to return them. The balance, six in
mum Der, they bore away in triumph. We
understand that they levied on several
horses FROM the country, which happened
to be casually in town. Among those tn us
taken was one belonging to Mr.. Amos CUT
ter, which they unhitched from his wagon
and left him to get home with his vehicle
the best way he could.
They searched both of the Banks, but
the money having been previously removed,
they failed to find that which they we're in
search Of. They visited the shoe store of
Mr.. Miner and helped themselves to som ,
thing less than hundred dollars worth of
goods. They made a small bill, in the
book and literary line, with NJ. Batter
man, which they settled in their peculiar
manner. They called upon Blum & Heck
niger, and got about $125 worth of goods.
They visited the stable Of Mr.. Weldon and
cleaned him OUT of the article of horse
flesh. The broke open the following hou-
ses, which sustained the losses mentioned
below, viz: Jos. B. Dessar, S25; Bergman
one pair pants; Owens & Barley, loss not
known; Anderson & Andrews, loss not
known; Solomon Kinsler, lot of jeweiry,
and private clothing.
They intercepted Mr.. Richard Deacon
who was diligently making his way to
Ohio, and relieved him Of $500 cash.
We believe that we have enumerated
most of tn g feats of Everetts' band in the
way Of property lifting while here, which
was only about two hours. But their visit to
this place will be made memorable by the
perpetration Of one dark and bloody tragedy
which snstched from his family and friends.
in single moment, worthy, honest and
industrious man, whose trsgical fate all
must regret. Mr.. James Conrad, a resident
Of East Maysville. was in company with
some friends making their way to Aber-
deem. The boat being hailed re- fused to
return to the shore, when it was fired upon
and Mr.. Conrad killed.
We have omitted to mention In its pro-
per place that they broke open the Tele-
graph Office, and visited the Post Office
At the latter place they got nothing but
lew papers.
Before reaching Maysville, they stopped
It the Fair Ground, and burned to the
ground the elegant, valuable and costly
tructure erected by the North Kentucky
agricultural aud Mechanical Association,
( an expense of about $4,000. This was
loss which will not be easily repaired.
Between and 6 O'Clock P. M, they left
ur town, en- route, as it was understood, for
lexington, KY. Every good man. no mat
er what may be his political sentiments
'ill unite with as in hearty condemnation
{ these predatory excursions, and we hope
his may be the last with which our town
,ill be afflicted.
P. 8. Since the above was written rumors q,
ave reached here. that Morgan's main
,rces have arrived at Paris, and that the ,
ne bridge at that place, as well as the one Z
t Cynthiana, have been destroyed. We ]
annot say how authentic is the report
hey are said to be FIVE thousand strong. ,
