Vicksburg Herald, Thursday: eve copied,
yesterday, from the Natchez Democrat, a
statement in regard to the steamer Vicks-
burg, which we find, from the facts before
US, needs some explanation. United States
Marshal Hunt was in the city yesterday, and
we briefly interviewed him on the subject.
He says that on Friday last he received a
telegram at jackson from parties in this city,
stating, in effect, that the VIcksburg had es-
capped from the deputy marshal here, asking
him to telegraph his deputy-marshal at
Natchez to stop her, and to send Deputy
Marshal Tinney, of this place, after her.
Colonel Hunt telegraphed to Mr.. Tinney for
the facts, but the latter was in attendance on
the ceremonies of Decoration day, and did
not receive the dispatch. After waiting for
some time, and failing to get an answer,
Colonel Hunt dispatched to Natchez as re-
quested, and the substance of that dispatch
was published in the Natchez Democrat. The
facts are, that a writ was placed in the hands
of Deputy Marshal Tinney to be served on
the boat, but the parties interested failed to
provide for the costs and Mr.. Tinney did not
serve the writ. The boat, therefore, did not
escape service or custody, but left scot free,
to go where she pleases. Colonel Hunt says
under the circumstances he could not have
detained her, and his telegram to Natchez
was based on a wrong statement of facts"
