THE WHISKY WAR.
NINE DIsrILLERs cApruatD.
Wholesale Destruction of Stills in
Three Counties.

The Deputy United States Mar
shals have been driving a smash
ing" business during the past few
weeks, in various counties of the
State, where illicit distilling has
been in vogue. On Saturday they
brought in nine white men and a
darkey, who had been cheating
their "Uncle Samuel by jumping
the revenue laws. These men were
captured in the mountains of La
rue, Russell and Cumberland coun-
ties by Deputy United States Mar
shals Thomas Slater and John
Wyatt. Itappears that the negro,
whose name is Rafiy Thompson,
was engaged as a scout and carrier
of dispatches for them. They were
taken before the United States
Commissioner, and in default of
bail, committed to Jail. The
''e..-----'-f Aha white ,men- all-of
whom carried on distilleries, are
James Howard, William Bethel,
John Hall, Sylvester Etherton,
Robert Green, Jackson Coffee,
Harrison II. Wade, Turner Smith,
and Thomas Murley.
The Deputy Marshals were aided
by a squad Of mounted infantry,
and secured the country for up
wards of a week, and they had
a lively time of it, as some of the
parties made desperate resistance.
One of the prisoners, named Dan
Howell, made his escape, but it was
running a narrow guantlet. His
horse was shot under him, and he
got away through a shower of bull
lets. The deputies had several
warm skirmishes, in which shots
were freely exchanged, but with no
serious results. Coffee and Wade
were captured in Russell county by
Deputy Marshal Wyatt, who also
Smith and Murley in
Cumberland county. Howard,
Bethel, Hall, Etherton, Green and
the negro were captured in Larue
county, by Deputy Marshal Slater.
There were some nine or ten stills
destroyed in all by the Deputy
Those in Larue were
the property of Geo. Able, Alfred
Lusher, Green & Mcdaniel and
Daniel Howell. Those in Cumber-
land belonged to Selbert, Cain and
Dulworth. Those in Russell were
owned by S. Harris. One of the
stills, which was brought along,
was owned by Aaron Beck, of
Russell county. The Deputy Mar
shals are making 'red hot" times
for distillcrs who evadc the reve-
nue. laws. Parties are brought in
almost daily from the different
counties, and they have "a hard
road to travel" before the United
States Court.-LoUiSriUe Democrat,

ton of his ciaInIs against rIsslIess
or rather the ruler of that country,
who, however, is France. Itappears
that in the year 1853, Mr.. Austin
Parish, jr., an American traveller, at
that time residingin Paris, offered to
the Emperor Napoleon a tract Of
land in Africa, including several
mines or placers, of gold, which he
had previously discovered. The
bargain was closed, the Emperor
promising to pay to Mr.. Parish, the
sum of 100000 francs as
soon as the French had ex-
tended their authority over the
locality mentioned. The treaty
having been made, it is said that
France sent out ships and men to
TINS African EiGoraGo, and although
no official report of the success of
this venture has ever been made
public, it is certain that the gold
coinage Of the French Mint has
risen from 50 500, 600 to SIC, 1000, 900
per annum. After a time, however,
when Mr.. Parish demanded the
sum agreed upon for his property,
Napoleonrefused to acknowledge his
obligation to the American, who,
as we have before mentioned, is now
appealing to Congress- for their aid
and protection. Between the En-
peror and Mr.. Parish, there was no
treaty signed, and such being the
case, it does not appear very clearly
what Congress can do in the matter.
The affair is n singular one, and to
many persons the handsome amount
coined from Mr.. Parish's gold
mines, will appear very much ike
the coinage of disordered brain.

That a dastardly, cruel and cow

hanging these men, all must admit,
and time will demonstrate that the

Of blood which ended Pinkerton's
case, and the lives of those prison
