Captain Ford was ordered 10 run his
tug alongside the little steamer lies
per, which was tied up, wooding
During the trip the leaders of the
party informcd Captain Ford that
they intended owerhauhng the Hes
per, and destroy arms on board OF
her, but that strict orders had been
issued 70 the men to harm no one, and
respect all other property. In obedi'
cnce to orders, Captain Ford ran the
tug alongside. THIS was no sooner
accomplished than, leaving two Of the
number in the pilot house, two In the
engine room, and ono in the chin, rs
a guard, the latter over one OF the
crew who had insul,cd the leader, the
yelled part suddenly sprang aboard
the Hcsper. Little or nothing was
said, and the boarders, who evidently
had an eye to business, placed the
crew under surveillance, and com.
menced the work on hand. The gun
boxes we're broken open with axes
and hatchc's. and the guns taken out
and thrown into the river. Many were
broken before being consigned TO the
clemens. A large quantity Of amlau-
niton in the hold marked "Sundries,"
was also thrown overheard. The
boxes were showed overheard after
them, and many Of them were seen
by assengers on the Ma. flower float
ing with the current. In half an
hour the task was accomplished and
the party quietly returned to the tug,
leaving the Hcspcr adriit and in pos
session Of all her crew who remained,
Captain Houston and his brother hav-
ing made for the woods as soon as
the Nettie was seen bearing down up
ON their craft.
The raiders once more aboard the
Net,ie. Captain Ford was required
to turn the boat northward, and pro.
ceed until further orders. At mid
night the tug reached a point in Pres.
ident's Island chute, eight miles below
Memphis. Here, by order of the veil
ed communicable was run aground.
No sooner had this been done than
some one, unit! that moment inyi.ible,
on the is!aIi, was hailed. a minute
afterwards skitf put out from shore,
AID wasrowed alongside. Whether
the person in it was black or white
could not be ascertained, as he too
was masked. Six Of the raiders got
into the skiff and were taken ashore,
and the skift' continued making trips
until in the morning, when the last
six were carried over, but before any
one left, strict orders were given to
remain in the chute until daylight.
He did SO, the tug not changing her
position until o'clock yesterday
morning. She then return cd to this
city, bringing the FIRST and only in
telligence Of what had occurred. Cap
tain Fcrd in .orms us that soon after
the Hespcr was boarded, several shots
were fired, but whether by the crew or
the raiders, he did not ascertain. Some
one ordered the firing to cease, and
nothing more was heard. No one
aboard the Hesper were injured or in
any way mistrcated.

contrary, have scarcely recovered from the
stunning blows given By Pennsylvania. Ohio

danger lies in Republican apathy and over
seening confidence. There is, however, no
apparent le:-up in the energy with which
the Republicans are pushing the campaign.
The Remaining two weeks viii be veil in :
