Little Book, May 9.?Last night a party of twenty five Baxter men, under the command of Lieutenant Welsh, took passage on the steamer Hattie, whioh was in charge of Capt. Sam. Houston and his brother, Ed. Hous? ton. Their objeot was to intercept and oaptnro 100 stands of arms be? longing to the Industrial University, whioh were shipped on a flat boat from Fort Smith, on Wednosday, in charge -of aix men. The Brookitos hoard of this expedition, nnd started Col. John Brooker with his regiment of 200 co? lored men on a special train over the Fort Smith Railroad to intercept the boat at Palame, twenty miles abovo this city. Brooker'a party arrived there before the Hattie got into posi? tion, and, as the boat oame along, fired ou her. Most of Lieut. Welsh's meu were on the hurricane roof at the time, and got down as soon as possible. As they did so, Frank Timmons, a promi? nent young man in this city, was killed, and several others wounded, viz: Capt. Sam. Houston, through the body, badly; Edward Houston, sprain? ed ankle; John Myers, through the breast; Baeon Laigh, in the leit leg. Lieut. Welsh's men returned the fire, killing one and wounding another of Brooks' men. Both were colored. One of the shots from Brooks' meu passed through the steam pipe of the Hattie, disabling her, and she floated down the river to the opposite bank from where Brooks' men were, and tho squad then left the boat. Brooks'men then took possession of the steamer, pat a squad on bonrd to bring her to town, and the remainder of them took the train and oame back, arriving about 3 o'olook this evening. Soou after their arrival, the Huttio came down and was landed, at the State House, where tho wounded were taken off. Capt. Sam. Houston died soon after the arrival of the Hattie, and John Myers, tho pilot, is mortally wounded. The body of young Frank SimmB, who was kilted on thontuanier Hattio, is now lying iu state iu the chapel of the Prosbytcrian Church. The body of Capt. Sam. Houston has been taken to his residence.

Dr. Dale, who was with him, received a slight wound in tho leg. Bascomb Leigb, who was wouudod in the leg, is badly hurt. Brooks' parly sent a squad of cavalry up the South aide of the river this evening, to at? tempt to capture Capt. Welsh's party, who escaped from the boat. Memphis, May 9.?The following extracts from letters will afford some idea of the suffering aud destitution there, and may serve as an appeal to the philanthropic throughout the land. A well-known planter, writing faom Bernard, Chioot County, Arkan? sas, says: "There is needed in thi? section ra? tions for 1,000 people, and forage for their stook. t Their lauds are under water, and the destitution hore will be very great. Nearly every ono is over? flowed in this district, having lost thoir stock and having nothing left to aid them in purchasing necessary rations. Thoao persono all require help until ihey can raise corn. Help ob all you can. Oar people are truly Buffering, and unless we get aid to make at least Boms oorn, this portion of the country will be abandoned by fully one-half of the laborers." A petition from 850 colored laborers of Arkansas City and vicinity has been forwarded by W. Dickinson, form? erly a obttoA factor here, which say*: "The nndi reigned, colored oit zana of Arkansas City and the neighboring plantations, wonld respectfully state that we are in a desperate condition, only a few of ns having a few days1 ra? tions, and tbey have been furnished by tbe owners of the plantations, wbo now have not enough left for their own families. The water stands uh high as four-feet above the floor? of many of our houses. Some of as have had to move out. Thore is nothing but starva? tion and death for many of us, unless good people will aid us, and that soon." Dickinson, iu forwarding the petition, says: "It docs not make the condition of tho people as bad as it really is. Some of these families ure on my place, and I huve been feediug them four months, duriug three of which they huve been cooped no in their houses on platforms three feet above their floors. I cau't feed them I any.longer, but hope something will be I done for these poor uegroes. They will suffer soou. Some of them have uot enough left for their own families, aud others uro living ou hominy alone, or parched corn." On the other side of the river from whore these letters are written, there is considerable destitution, but Qov. Ames and other State ofliciuls are tak? ing stops to relieve them. Iu Arkan? sas, owiug to the troubled couditiouuf affairs at tbe capital, nothing is being done for them, und they ere entirely dependent on the charities of tbo citi? zens of other States. The relief com? mittee is doing good work, but can re? lieve 011)3* a Rniuil portion of tbe inun? dated district. At Hopcfield, opposite here, which has been submerged for ueurly two mouths, there is considera? ble distress, but it is being relieved.

The report refers to the deplorable rule iu South Carolina, as recited by the me? morialists?nouo of the charges having been controverted, aud claims, though existing under tbe form of law, it is uuue the less a government, not worthy to be preserved.

If the present Mate eif things iu South Caruliua be owing to the late constitutional ameudtueut, forbidding any restriction iu suffrage, on account of race or color, it may bo that some further amendments, looking to educa? tional or other qualification for Federal suffrage, are necessary.
