THE nORsL-TIiIEF WAR
A Heavy Ski -n,ish in Garter County,
kentucky.

AHenyy skirmish in Garter County,
Kentucky.
From the Flemingsburs (Ky) Democrat 2lst J
Some time since several horses were
stolen from this county and taken by
the thieves to Carter county, where we
understand, there is gang of despera-
does under the lead of the notorious
UnAerwoods, engaged in stealing
hor.es that are stolen. The good
people of the counties of Bath,
Fleming, Mason aud Lewis have
been in the habit of losing horses
by theft, and going in search of them
would invariably trace them to the hills
of Carter county, and there lose entire
sight of them. On last Sunday morn
ing, party of probably twenty or
thirty men, under the command of Col
onel Larry Howe, left this county in
pursuit of the Underwoods gang of
horse-thieves. They made vigorous
raid into the vine clad regions OF Car
ter, aad on Monday evening the party,
becoming exhausted from the effects OF
the long and tedious ride, dismounted
and pulled off saddles and laid down to
take a snooze, when whiz-zip-she-
bang, came the whistling of bullets all
around them. They were fired upon by
the mountain rogucs, ii seems, from all
directions. A general scene of confus-
ion eusued. Colonel Howe's men be-
came demoTaliZed and wild disorder
reigned supreme. Some of them took
shelter in house and fired from It's
doors and windows upon the enemy,
who were posted on the hills above
them. At last they retreated through a
cOrnlield down the creek and in the di-
rection of home. The enemy followed
them closely and kept up "a brisk
fire for about four miles, soaring the
boys considerably, but doing no dam
age.
In this connection we would not do
Justice did we not notice the gallant
conduct of John Wilson and James
Armstrong. The former stood his ground
until the very last; he loaded his gun
and fired with that GOODNESS which is
seldom found in any but the experience
ed soldier. While no was taking aim
over the saddle OF his horse, q shot was
fired at him which missed its aim and
killed the horse. He did not retreat, Al
that, but stood at his post and cOntinu
ell TO fire, until he found that for self
pres rratiOn evacuation was actually
necessary, aud, discretion being the
better part of valor, he Tetreated in
good order. We are also informed that
James Armstrong was the first 10 fire on
the enemy. and one Of the last 10 yield.
We believe that none Of the party were
wounded.
W. L. Wolfe had Il bullet-hole cut in
the sleeve of his coat. We estimate the
loss as follows: One horse killed, one
carbine lost and four horses.
The dismouuted men arrived in town
on Tuesday in a dilapidated-looking
buggy. Take it all in all, II is a huge
joke ON the whole party, and we do not
think they will venture INFO Carter
agl.n soon. la conclusion, We suggest
to the authorities as Frankfort the pro
priety OF ordering tSe militia to Garter
county, and let them eHtermIuate this
whole band of horse-thicyes. Our cttI.
Zens demand it.

tn. Real Point Of n. seress 10 the Span.
i.h Gnbau Question.


The Cincinnati Commercial thinks
that the reports of excitement at Mad
rid. and of what Sickles is doing are of
no consequence. 1t processes to have
authority for the statement that the
real point of interest, in our complica-
tions with Spain, lies in this: The if
teen ganboats, ordered by the Spanish
Government, of certain New York ship
builders, were to be ready for sea by
the close of September. Our Govern
ment, however, on the Sd of August
seized the boats, on pretence that they
were intended to operate against Peru.
Finally an understanding was come to,
and work upon them was allowed 10 60
forward. Some of these boats will be
ready to leave New York in few days;
and this is the action, according TO the
Commercial, that our Governments VIII
take in premises: .;,
When the gunboats are ready TO san
from New York and make preparat,nonnI
for their departure to Cuba, we slaii
probably see their departure prevented
by the revenue cutter under Auu3irdi
Gordon, which has been watching tnem
for The last wv o months by orders from
Washington. The Spanish Minister
will then doubtless apply for their re-
lease: and, after some parrylng over
former points of difficulty with Seere-
tary Fish, Senior Roberts, acting IN the
name of his Government, will formally
demand THAI the gunboats he has PAID
for be delivered mp to him in accordance
with law, national and international.
Now, then, we shall soon see whether.
on the occurrence of this condition OF
things, it be not Grants "policy" Go an-
nounce, fcst, that the demands OF the
Spanish Minister are complied with and
the cnnboats released; second. that our
Government cannot render this AID ana
comfort to the Spanish party in Cuba
without putting both parties there on
terms of equality, as regards belligerent
rights, and that, therefore, the beliig-
erent rights of the Cuban rebels are re-
cognized by the American Government.
1t is, of course, quite possible that
circumstances may occur THAT will bank
the execution of this programme; aud 1t
is of course possible that events may
not be developed precisely in the form
here indicated; but that something OF
this kind is what is now expected we
do not state without having reason to
balihya

Our town has not yet been repro

denco, but We will endeavor to keep
you posted hereafter.
We have but G small village, 'tis
true, but it would be difficult to find
Que more pleasantly located, or in.
hsbited by more orderly nd thriv-
ing community. We have two good
stores, and fair representation of the
different trades, two very neat coun.
try churches in Aourishing condi-
ton, aud schools which are not so
hourishing. We are surrounded by
as fine Alarming country as any coun =.
ty in the State can boast of, but for
want of railroad facilities, we do not
work our land as thoroughly as W
otherwise would. But we look for a
change. Most Of US are anxious for
the building Of the Toledo and Crest.
line Railroad, and are doing what we
can to accomplish that end.
The general health in this vicinity
is sufficiently good to cause our ply
sicians to look rather blue.
The Temperance people arc ma king
an effort to form an organization to
further their cause. We hope they
may fully succeed.

You've AMERICA HosE. - The
efforts Of this company were
crowned with complete success on
Monday af(ernooa aud evening. The
Velocipedo exhibition both afternoon
and evening was we'll patronizcd aud
all we're petfectly satisfied.
Prof Gettle, by his perfect hand
ling of his vehicle, showed that the
velocipede could be put to every day
use, as we'll as to exhibit to won
dering crowd. The ease with which
he made the circuit Of the hall, max
ing abrupt turns and curves almost
as intricate as could be made by o
skater, insptted various young men
with the belief that they could do
searly as we'll, aud one after another
made the attempt, causing a great
deal Of merriment by their awkward
attempts aud graceful failures.
The race between tho QUO and the
two-wheeled velocipedes, was very
exciting, the former being handled
by man who appeared to thorough
ly understand its use. The wheel
was much smaller than wero those of
Prof. Gettlos, and had two handles
with which the operator propelled il
with great rapidfty, and came out a
triHe ahead. We believe it was bor-
rowed for the occasion from wood
yard in this vicinity.
The ball was largely attended,
though comparatively fewesmc mask.

" chose the most hideous faces aud
dress imaginable. But few made any
attempt at a display Of good taste.
On the whole the entertainment
was a pleasant one. Good order pre-.

A permanent organization was por-

fifty cents will be required for men
wishing to join the Association, while
from the women nothing is required.

they can send the name by letter.

Qua RAILRoAD.-In another col

Of the railroad subscription commit
tee. In connection with them every
citizen Of the eoOHty who wants this
road should be present. Important
business will be before the meeting,
This matter has hung ere long
enough. If we intend to get the
road let us show it; if not, let it 60 by
the board, and let us settle down quiz
etly, with but one outlet to the world.
If we are satisfied with the present
size of the city and the wealth of the
county, We will show it by losing this
road. The road is within our reach
If we wantit-that is, if we want it
badly enough to let the dollars be
forthcoming.
Should Tifin aud the people in the
county along the line Of the road do
their duty, Toledo and Crestline, and
intermediate points will be found rea-
dy to do theirs.
Therefore let us see what money
can be raised and put the thing in a
tangible form aud a new railroad
will follow.
Be at the meeting on Friday night.
