Attack on the John ID. Porter at Louis
VILE.

LOUISVILLE, August IA AT hfty-tve min
utes past eleven last night Mike Monahan
rushed into the Central STATION and demanded
the health officer of the station keeper, who
informed him that at that hour he could not
be found. Not satisfied, he appealed to the
officers, informing them Of the startling news
that the John d. Porter, towboat from New
Orleaas, had just arrived and was full of yell
low fever patients, nearly all the deck hands
and officers having been stricken down by the
disease in their trip up the river. Monahan
then stated that the boat then remained at
the mouth of the canal, where it had been all
day. During the night they came through
the canal, and at halfpast eleven landed at
the foot of Sixth street. He met them, armed
to the teeth, and when the boat first grated
on the sand it was hailed with such volley
of boulders that they were pushed off and
were kept away from the shore. In this man
ner he fought for half an hour, when, the
muscular powers of Mike having been tx.
hausted, he gave up the battle and the cap
tain tnumphantly landed. 1t was reported
that the captain and mate had both deserted
the boat, and that those in charge had tele-
graphed to Cincinnati, when a new captain
arrived to fill the vacancy caused by the de-
parture of the terror stricken captain. Sew
eral of the dead are supposed to have been
buried at VIcksburg, one at Caseyville and
others at different points along the river, and
not less than sixteen of the crew were known
to have the disease, and four of this number
have died.
