Arrival at Gallipolis -- some incidents Calculated to Produce Nervousness.

Gallipolis, March 6. -- Captain Paul Boyton arrived here in his swimming suit this morning at 8 o'clock. It was not known when he would arrive, and consequently but few of our citizens witnessed his arrival. His run here has been the greatest he has made, having been constantly in the water for twenty-eight hours. He left Marietta at five o'clock Wednesday morning, in a heavy fog; passed Parkersburg at a quarter past nine; Big Horn at noon; Murrysville at four in the afternoon; Ravenswood, seven in the evening; spoke steamer Carrie at half-past nine near Goose Island, and received refreshments; Syracuse a quarter past twelve; Pomeroy, four this morning; Campaign Creek, six and here above as stated. He leaves early to-morrow, and will reach Huntington, if all passes well, at midnight Friday; Portsmouth, Saturday. The next dash will be at Maysville, which he expects to reach Sunday night or Monday morning. The next heat will be to Cincinnati, which he expects to reach Tuesday afternoon. It is his intention to continue the trip to New Orleans if health and strength will stand the test.

   The Captain is thirty-one years old, weighs 160 in his socks, and is a genial, pleasant gentleman. He has been resting all day here, and will lecture to-night and be entertained with music and suitable ceremonies. He has met with many interesting incidents on his voyage. This morning at half past four, being drowsy, he was aroused by the noise of the paddles of a steamer, and suddenly found himself about to be run down by the Telegraph. He says he hallooed with terrible energy, which the pilot answered, and he barely escaped being run down.

   One mile above Gallipolis he was approached by a skiff, which put off from a small trading boat, and to which he paid but little attention until he saw himself covered by an army musket, when he again used frantic efforts to make known who he was. Wehn the skiff came up he saw that it contained an old man and a young man, evidently his son, who, still pale and trembling with excitement, held his gun on him, believing he had overtaken a sea monser of some sort. On the Virginia side an old man broke for his cabin to get his gun. These incidents have had a tendency to make the Captain nervous, fearing he might be shot in the water by parties not knowing who or what he is.

   Ironton, O., March 7. -- Capt. Boynton arrived here at 9 o'clock to-night, twelve hours out from Gallipolis. He lectures here to--morrow night, and then proceeds on his way.
