PIRATES O.V THE MISSISSIPPI.
Attempted Murder and Itcbbery below Helena.
ahcKichmond Headlight of the 19tU Inst, says a
dtspei ate attempt at murder was made lust Tues
day night at a wood-yard on the Mississippi, about
liltv miles below Helena.- Mr. James Kooinson, of.
Memphis, accompanied by his wife, left that city
atiout ten (lays ago ior tne purpose oi seeKiug em
ployment at some point on the river. Purchasing a
steamboat yawl ami;a good-sized skill', the family
packed their household goods and started
down ine river. ai uio poiui, men
tioned liobinson, -was promised work in
hauling wood to the river baDk, and wlillt in tne act
of removing his plunder on shore two desperadoes
In a skiir made their appearance and attacked Mr.
Kobiuson in a murderous manner. They stated
their object to be plunder and murder, aud without
any further ceremony pluugcd a large-sized knife
into his side, which lustantly felled lilin to the
ground. His wife, hearing his cries for help, ran
to the spot and found her husband on the ground
weltering in his own blood, while the two vil
lains were just putting on' from shore- with
both the yawl aud skiir, containing the poor
family's goods. Tneie was no medical aid to be
procured anywhere near, and the unfortunate
man liau uewwe very wean, jroiu ions oi oiooa.
About noon on Friday a hail from shore brought the
steamer Klchmond to the point where the bloody
deed and robbery were committed. The man was
carried on board upon a mattress, and was landed
In Memphis, where his wounds were properly
attended to at tbe City Hospital. The olllcers and
passengers of the Hlcumuud, upon being made
acquainted with the particulars of the sad ailair,
took up a collection, raising quite a little sum for
the unfortunate sniTerer, who had been so ruth
lessly robbed and well nigh murdered. It is to bs
hoped that the villains who committed the das
tardly act will sooner or later meet their just re
ward. SAVED FROM DEATH.

to sleeo traaquilly. Y our little daughter from somo

yesterday, as I came north with my train of nine

and reversed my engine, and had no hopes or saving
the child. 1 told the conductor, as the speed was
Blacked, if he could get oft tne engine and, running
forward, pick the child up before the engine reached
her, he might save her life, vh.cli Iu did.
11 j feelings can be better imagined
than described, as the eugtuo was
within one foot of the child when It was secured,
and 1 wss barely saved lrom taking a child's life
wilh my engine, and those whose dutv It was to have
prevented suck an occurrence would havo had years
of anguish to have borne for allowing a child of mat

the child came off wti uout a scratch, aud I would
But lun tbe same risk, for all New i.'avia county, for

to walk,- but dragged himself on hands and
feet to a house quite far oif some say two miles
and lie not that care and assistance which his con
dition required. A friend he discovered who lived
near by, and ho proved a friend indeed, caring for
him as a brother. His arms and side were quite
black from the muscular exertions he was subjected
to; his boots and a portion of his trousers were torn
on', and his feet lacerated by being dragged alon?
the tracts. He got a severe injury in the back also
by his fall. Ills body presented a dreadful sight.
The Kingston WMq says, on Thursday morning lie
was brought home, and now lies at his residence
under the care of Dr. Yates. His injuries have been
very severe, but tho doctor hopes to bring him
ihronph safely.
