DEWEY, Va, Oct. 3.-The revenues made
another raid on North Fork of Pound
river on the Doth ult. They cut up two
"shining outfits" and caught one skinner
in the still house manufacturing the
delicious mountain dew. They afterwards
crossed into Kentucky and destroyed some
outfits, and We are informed on their re-
turn near the state line, they were fired on
by some one-supposed to be Kentucky
shiners-and report has it that Capt.
Moss was shot through the hand and
another shot through the shoulder, and
two horses were shot The revenues re-
turned the FIRE, but We have not learned
whether they hit anyone ornot. They are
making it hot for the sinners along the
border.
