Another Oyster War Down the Bay.
The dredgers down the bay, resisted on
Wednesday, the attempt of State police
sloop. Captain Bridges, to drive them off
the forbidden grounds in the Chortank
river. and succeeded in forcing the sloop
to seek shelter. There were fourteen
dredgers in line of battle. well armed and
equipped, while the Hayward had neither
arms, ammunition or men worth speak
ing Of, Capt. Bridges, however, kept up
promiscuous firing, until a ball from the
enemy passed through his whiskers, and
other balls were raining upon his deck
and flying through his rigging. This
brought on consultation between the
officers and crew of the State sloop, and
il was determined that retreat was in
order to save the vessel from destruction.
Capt. Bridges succeeded In making his
escape. aud when safe telegraphed Com
