BALTIoMoRE, Feb. 3-Reports have reached
the city of an attack made upon a feet of
eighteen Maryland oyster dredgers by Nir-
ginia gunboat off Stingray point on Tuesday.
The attack was due to the fact that the
Marylanders were acting illegally in dredg-
ing in Virginia waters. 1t seems that about
noon, whilo the fleet were under easy sail,
about a mile off the point, a strange schooner
came out of the Piankatank river. So busy
were the dredgers that no notice was taken
of her until she was in the midst of the fleet,
when with shout some hundred armed men
sprang from her hold and, running up the
American flag to tho peak, opened fire with a
cannon and small arms into the
astonshed oystermen. The latter hoisted
sails and scattered like frightened ducks.
SO fierce was the fire that tho crews of the
vessels nearest the gunboat took refuge below,
and the schooner dashed through the water
without any one at the helm. On several OF
the vessels the wheelmau was forced to lie on
his back on the deck and steer, while the
balls whistled about him. The crew Of the
Ada Luddington refused to go on deck, and
she, having no one at the wheel, was easily
overhauled and captured. The others escaped
into Maryland waters, more or less damaged
by the enemys fire. The dredgers were all
armed, but SO scared were they, being so taken
by surprise, that they never fired shot. The
Luddington was commanded by Capt. Andrew
Steidle, and had n crew of nine men with a
cargo of 1900 bushels of oysters. The cargo
will be confispated and the crew are in the
Middlesex Jail awaiting trial. The Maryland
oystermen are promising to retaliate.
