neer that there was not wood enough on
board to carry them through, in case Of
any head wind, and the boat was turned
back to Middle Bass Island to take in
wood. Captain Atwood, the captain Of
the boat, resides on the island with his
family. Upon the arrival of the boat at
the dock he came on board, not having
any intimation of what had happened
He was Immediately taken prisoner, and
confined with the mate and crew.
While lying at Bass Island, the steam
or Island Queen came in to wood. The
rebels rushed an board and seized the YES
sci, ordering all the passengers and crew
into the hold of the Philo Parsons.
When the latter vessel finished wood
ing, the rebels marched the passengers Of
both boats ashore, being guarded by men
with arms drawn, having first made them
take an oath that they would not make
any disclosure for twenty-four hours.
The Parsons then took the Island
Queen in tow, and, about half way be-
tween Kelly's Island and Bass Island, she
was scuttled and sunk, everything in the
shape 0: movable property having first
been removed from her.
They then proceeded on their course
towards Sandusky Bay, to near Cedar
Point, when they changed their course
and made for the mouth of Detroit River,
reaching Maiden at o'clock this Tues
day. morning.
The crew Of the Parsons, except the
engineer and firemen, were landed on
Fighting Island, in Detroit River, nearly
opposite the mouth of Ecorso River, at
about 8 o'clock this morning. They rob-
bed the crew of everything except what
they had on their backs.--Frec Press, 20.

Democratic Victory in Maine.

The Day Star dawns indeed We
have dispatch from our friends in Ban
gor stating that the latest returns indi-
cate Democratic gains an every county
but tOo, and that Governor Conys ma
jority s0iH be reduced from three to fUe
thousand, while even The Republican jour
mails are singing much more softly, and
claim only the same vote as last year.
In Maine, then, aOe hare Won Dem
ocrdtic victory, and the revulsioD of pub
lie sentiment which such result shows
in that State there is something to be
thankful for. For without organization,
or any hope Of carrying the State, and
against an immense contract and Office
holding influence the Maine Democrats
have achievedthis triumph. And they
will take heart and organize now TO re-
duce the Republican majority still more
in November,
Our friends say that if General Nc
Clellan's letter could have reached them
week earlier they would have gone five
thousand better still. Now they have the
letter and six weeks to work. Let the
Democrats in Maine strain every nerve
They can certainly cut another slice oil
the Republican majority. With hard
work, speakers and documents TO tell the
people the truth concerning their present
rulers, and first-rate organization, it is
not impossible that Maine might be re-
deemed.

A Reign of Terror.
A Suppressed Dispatch.

The following dispatch from our cor.
respondent at Cairo was "disapproved
by Col. Davidson, the commandment at
Cairo, and could not, therefore, be sent
by telegraph. 1t was received by mail.
Chicago Times.
Special Dispatch to The Chicago Times.
CAIRO, Sept. Is.
Gen Fry, of Kentucky, and of Zolli-
Golfer fame, has arrived at Paducah, hav-
ing been sent from Washington to invest
igate the reign of terror and the blood Of
Gen. Paine. The simple fact that will
be substantiated upon this investigation
will send thrill of horror through the
people of the civilized world.
Paine was in command ffty-six days,
and shot Sirty-Seven men, and no evil
dence can be found that single one was
tried by military commission or court
Of any kind. He was at the guard house
one day, and prisoner happened TO dis
please him, when he ordered the guard to
shoot him down. A negro faithfully ex-
ecuted the order.
An old man, described as an object
pitiful in the extreme, had been carrying
water fifty days, and could not for the
life of him imagine what his offence was.
When q prisoner was brought TO Gen.
Paine, pronounced by his captors rebel
in arms, the matter was always summari-
ly settled by an order to "shoot him to-
morrow morning at o'clock"
Gen. Meredith turned tifty-one persons
loose at May yield, and has emptied the
guard-house at Paducah.
The bloody days of Robespierre have
been blotted out, and an American now
bears aloft the reeking palm.
Gen. Fry is determined the matter
shall be thoroughly sitted, and that stern
justice shall be done.
The greatest excitement prevails
among the people of that district, and
when Gen. Fry notified them that he
wanted to talk to them, instead of COM
ing in little squad, they rushed en-
mdSSe.
lie has arrested and placed In The
guard house number Of negro soldiers
that have been fourishing there lately
so extensively, because they had COM
menced to denounce Gen. Fry for Sc
cesh general.
The Lucien Andersons and Bolingers,
the men who boosted upon the streets of
Paducah, when Paine took command,
that now they bad a Robespierre TO OPP
crate upon rebel sympathizers and cop
perheadS, are now terror stricken, and
their pale cheeks and trembling lips at
test their guilty consciences.
The country may look for news from
Gen. Fry's investigation that will tax
their utmost credulity.

~ Y. Tribune.
The young dogs learn to bark from
the old ones. From the shiftings and
turniugs of Mr.. Lincolu, the leaders, from
first to last, find rule for their tactics.
1t is not long since when the Tribune
and the Grand Haven Union more vehe-
mently endeavored to show the absurdi-
ty of making any attempts at negotia-
tons for peace with the Southern States,
on the ground that we were one Union
and had nobody to treat with. The
Tribune now says zoe are foreign
government" and the rebel States have
no power TO make peace with our for
eign government" no power to 60 into
convention with representatives of for
eign" States. Who can doubt that all
idea or wish for reunion is abandoned by
the Lincoln party when their principal Or
gan publishes such sentiments
