DetRoit, Mich., September 19th, 1864. To Captain J. C. Carter, U. S. Navy, U. S. Steamer Michigan, Sandusky, Ohio.
It is said the parties will embark to-day, at Maiden, on board the "Philo Parsons, " and will seize either that steamer or another running from Kelly's Island. Since my last dispatch, am again assured that officers and men have been bought by a man named Cole. A few men to be introduced on board under guise of friends of officers.
An officer named Eddy to be drugged. Both Commander Gardner and myself look upon the matter as serious.
