Particulars OF Captain Hindman's Attack
On the Dredgcrs-Brisk FirinR-Two
Schocncrs and Twelve Men Captured-A
Plea for Protection.


Correspondence of the Richmond Dispstch.I
ACCoNAC COURTHOUSE, NA.,1
December Z, 1888.
On yesterday Captain George w. Hind
man. oyster inspector for Pocomoke Sound,
summoned posse OF twenty-five men TO
arrest oyster-drcdgers in his district. He
had warned them of the day before. but
they continued at work, and on Island
Rock, of Doe creek. he found six vessels
depredating. There were five Baltimore
vessels and one Nirginian. As he APP
preached the crews OF the former opened
fire with rifles. which Captain Iindman
promptly returned. He succeeded in
capturing the scbooners 4. b. Ham,
ilton, owned on Tangier Island, and
the George w. Cook, OF Baltimore. The
captain OF the latter ran his vessel ashore
on the north end Of Watts Island, where
he and his cook escaped in the yawl-boat.
There were twelve men taken, and they
are now lodged in Jail. Their names are:
Captain Henry a. Thomas, OF the Ham;l-
ton; eli Parke. mate OF the Cook; John
III. McCready. William Lewis, John Sher-
lock. John Thomas, George j. Hamilton,
Charles Barrett. Henry l.. Dies, John
Stuart, Henry Cooper, and Simon Ru1in.
The last two arc colored, and are from
BERTHE county, y. G., and were recently
shipped in Norfolk.
This is the result of private efforts TO
protect the oyster-beds. The force il paid
by individual subscription. Our people
arc deeply interested in this work, which
should be done by the State; and il is
hoped the Legislature will take steps at
this session 10 keep properly-organized
force ailoat at all times sufficient to deal
with these violatOrs OF the law.
Tidewater Virginia has a valuable inte-
rest i'm her oysters and fish, aud her people
are asking no more than they are entitled
TO in calling on the State for protection.
This section OF the state has contributed
TO the internal improvements, from which
they have reaped no benefit. As a matter
Of justice Tidewatcr is entitled to some
thing in return; and in asking To have the
oyster-beds protected she j. not doing 80
to be an expense TO the State. We are
willing to pay tax sufficient to cover the
cost Of protection; and il there should be
a surplus, Lex ii 90 TO the county funds IN
each county where it is collected. There
has been q surplus in former years, when
there was an oyster navy. OF some $4,000
a year. No such sum could be raised now,
owing TO the depletion OF the beds, but
could be realized in the near future by pro-
per management. T1DEWATEE.

the ocean by card sharpS, who got 100000
of the money on the steamer.
ON a subsequent trip to Europe he lost
$4,000. and Kept on playing until he found
himself almost ruined. "Pll 20 to Phila-
