of "Whiteriver, about lu o’clock, the '.lunboat No.
2G came in, convoying the steamer Lady, aud an
chored near the Freestone,- wht-u.the captain of the
gun-boat notified the Freestone to keep up steam
and be ready to leave .at a moment's notice, as
tlieie was trouble ahead.* Captain. Kelly went
shore on . the Mississippi - side, where were
congregated a troop, ot thirty men. AVhile
talking to an acquaintance who informed
him that guerillas were lying in wait
for him, Captain Forrest with a company Of
cavalryrode up and the crowd separated, Cap
tain Kelly retreating'to the boat, to which sevo'n
mcnintuted upon accompanying him, and four
others going in another boat. The strangers
were well treated and very freely
The seven finally asked tote set ashore, and as
they left the boat, remaiked to the crew, “Things
are very dear aboard this boat. We make
them . cheaper before morning. ls • When
landed, they ordered the the yawl
to bring oif a "Yankee overcoat, • which
the boatmen taithtully promised to do. They had
pulled into the stream but a few yards, when the
hue passengers drew revolvers and commenced
firing at them This was the signal for the guer
illas to let drive a volley at the Freestone, bat
'the men in', the yawl, unheeding .the leaden
hail, pulled to the boat, which they, reached
in safety. The gunboat immediately opened upon
the assailants, and alraost.*a continuous fire was
kept up’by both sides for three-quarters of an
hour, when the guerillas lied. The Freestone
was the prize aimed for by the guerrilas ; shb re
ceived a good many shots, but fortunately no one
was hurt. Four citizens who remained behind
were sadly frightened, and protested they knew
nothing whatever of the presence of Forrest and
men.
When the guerillas left Carson’s Landing, they
went directly across the bend, a-distance of n
miles to Bealah Landing, where the.steamer Lizzie
Martin lay-. This boat they captured without as
sistance, and run htr up the Arkansas rivei*. She
had'on board 2CU bales of col ton. .
• The steam* r Shreveport, with a portion of the

the foot of Burdo Island ly artillery', killing one
soldier. Four miles below Shreveport she met a
gunboat and informed her of the outrage. The
gunboat steamed up the river, but'mistook the
place where the firing occurred. Near Cominer ie
a number of families had collected to escape being
conscripted.. An oldman, with a family, stopped
under the bank awaiting the arrival of a‘ steamer.
Seeing one approaching in the night, a boy
waved a firebrand. The boat was the gun
boat searching for guerillas. Supposing the
rascals were congregated for the pnrpose of
entrapping passing boats, she fired a gun, the
shot striking in the midst .of the family,
throwing sand and 'stones in every direction, and
knocking over the boy. Fortunately nobody was
hurt. The old man seized another brand and
waving furiously showed the boatmeu their
mistake. A yawl: was Immediately sent out and
took aboard the’old man. hod ' his family, :who
arrived in this city on the Belle Memphis.
