DAILY DISPATCH.
VOL. XVI 1.-NO. 91.
ffojnnflttti ftfspatcjf.
MONDAY MOKNINtJ APUIL, 10. ISM.
THE WASHINGTON Arr.UR OF HONOR.
THE ORIGIN" OF IT.
The telegraph announces thai Mr. Potter, of
Wisconsin, was arrested in Washington on
Saturday, and held to bail in tha sum of *s,t;ixi.
The Washington Star, of Saturday afteraooi i
•peaking of the contemplated duel, tars:
As far as we can learn—and we have had to
depend on street accounts of the affair—after
Mr. Pryor's friend, Mr. Clii.man, had rejected
the proposition to light tilth bowie-knives ol
equal weight, tin the open air, or in a room
with two seconds present on either tide, the
distance to be four feet and the word to be
toSM-d up for.) Mr. Lander, ou Mr. Potter's
behalf, atated that his friend was wholly un
accustomed to dueling, or tbe use ofthe im
plements usedln it under thec.de; bnt tbat
as he was at all limes ready to defend bis per
gonal honor, if Mr. Pryor chose to attack mm
in the street or elsewhere, he would attend then
and there, on receiving due notice, to deleud
himself, each party to be armed as he might
think best.
This being also a barbarous alternative, was
of course not acceded to by Mr. Pryor's se
cond. At that poiui.it is said, Mr. Lander
declared tbat fully comprehending his duty
under the code to be to take bis principal's
place in tbe affair, (the latter declining tbe
weapons of tbe code,) he was himself ready to
meet Mr. Pryor with any weapons and on any
terms the latter might select. That proposi
tion was not acceded to, for there bad been no
quarrel whatever between Col. Lauder and
Mr. Pryor. .
There tne affair is understood to have ter
minated. Col. L. is understood to have con
sulted with no one in conducting the negotia
tions on Mr. Potters Ik-alt; and Mr. Pryor
is understood to have been iv Alexandria, and
not personally in any way- a participant or
adviser in the negotiations en his side.—
As the parties to tbe affair have as yet made
no explanations concerning it that we can bear
of, we give this explanation for what it is
worth only—as being apparently the most re
liable vere-ion of the doxen conflicting state
ments afloat to-day on Pennsylvania avenue.
Col. Lander is a native and citizen ot Massa
chusetts, bnt has spent some years on tbe ex
treme western frontier, whete he has l>een
professionally engaged as a civil engineer.—
Politically, be is a very emphatic pro-slavery
democrat, and ihe fact that he is the cousin of
Mr. Potter's wife, we take it for granted, is
the reason why he was found acting in the
matter in Mr. P.'s behalf.
The following is a report of the colloquy in
the House of Representatives, out of which
the difficulty grew:
Mr. Pryor.—l rise to a qnestioti of privilege.
I a.-k the gentleman from Virginia to yield to
me.
Mr. Smith, of Va.—Certainly.
Mr. Pryor.—l would like the attention of an
honorable mem ber of this If ouse from Wiscon
sin, (Mr. Potter.) Io the Globe of this morn
ing I find the following report of a scene which
occurred upon this floor some few days since:
[Mr. P. here read the report of that portion
of the Lot-Jay disturbauceThursday,ia which
Potter ligtu.'d.j
It is due to myself to lay that, although he
may have been near me, 1 did not recognises
tin* presence of the honorable member from
Wisconsin, nor did I hear one word from his
lips. Now, sir, am I peculiar or singular in
tailing to observe his presence I for, by refer
ence to leading papers in New York, Phila
delphia and Haltimore, all of which give sepa
rate and distinct accounts of tbe proceedings
of that day, I find tbat no allusion is made to
his presence, and not cue word is he reported
taha.e uttered. However, I find this lan
guage reported in the Globe, and I presume I
must concede that he did appear, and that he
did speak on that occasion. Hut, on recurring
to tbe manuscript of the reporters, I hod that
he has interpolated the record of our pioseed-
Ims, in a matter touching personal relations,
affecting that reccrd in a most material re
gard :
•'We listened to them quietly, and heard them
through. And now, sir, this side shall be
heard.'
There stopped the manuscript ofthe report
er. The member from Wisconsin '.hen aoded,
in bis own handwriting, *' let the consequences
be what they may. - Agaiu, I am reported as
having said : *' You shall not come here ges
ticulating in a menacing aud ruffianly man
ner." Mr. Potter was icp'orted to ha\e made
no response. The reporter heard no response,
and accordingly reported none. The member
from Wisconsin here interpolated in his own
hand writ ing, "you are doing ibe same tiling. '
Again, following a remark made by Mr. John
Cochrane, tbe member from Wisconsin is made
by the reporter to say :
'•1 do not believe tbat side of the House can
say where a member shall 6peak."
There the official report terminated; but the
meiai-.er lrom Wisconsin has added:*'and
they shall not say it." With this siatemenl
of facts, repeating that the newspapers of the
country have not repor'ed his presence in the
House at all on that occasion, and that the
official report of our proceedings exhibits tbe
fact that he did not say that which he repre
sents himself to have said, 1 resume my seat.
Mr. Potter.—l am very much surprised
that the member from Virginia should say
that he did not see me upon the occasion al
luded to ; but, sir, I have no right to say, and
I shall not say, that he did see me, because I,
of course, cannot say that he saw me ; but I
stood within a few feet of the gentleman, aud
when he made the remarks he has just read iv
relation to Mr. Lovejoy's coming down into
the area, gesticulating aud shaking his lists, 1
said, " You are doing the same thing." 1 said
it, as I supposed, distinctly, and I was sur
prised when, on looking at the notes of the re
porter, I found that it was not so reported. I
did what I supposed every member had a right
to do under the circumstances. When x was
conscious, when I knew tbat I made the re
mark, and when other members on this side of
the House beard me make it, 1 put tbe remark
ia its proper place. I also claimed the right,
aud exercised the right, in looking over the
notes of the reporter, to correct them. Ibe
lieve the member from Virginia did tbe same
thing. At auy rate, his remarks had been cor
rected, judging fr„m the appearance of the
ma v use rip i. 1 did no more than the member
from Virginia did. 1 corrected my remarks.—
It is perfectly natural to suppose that, under
tbe circumstances, in tbe confusion which
took place when so many were speaking at the
same time, the reporters did not bear distinct
ly ; but there are gentlemen on this side of the
House who did hear me make tbe remarks as
they appear in tbe ts lobe. This is all I have
to say upon the subject.
Mr. Pryor.—One word more. As to my see
ing the gentleman from Wisconsin, it is pro
per for me to say that although I did not see
or recognize bim, he may have been there
without my seeing him. As to iheother point
the gentleman makes, that I also altered the
report of my remarks, I have this to say, that
I did iv two instances, I think, which I have
here, substitute one word lor another, not in
auy respect changing the sense or meaning;
certainly not making the language stronger,
or putting me in any more Heroic attitude. 1
understand the gentleman, then, to remark
tbat he did say, ou that occasion, that I had,
in a ruttiauly and violent maimer, approached
and gesticulated towards the gentleman from
Illinois. I understand him to say that. Now,
tir, 1 wish to know if 1 am to understand
further tbat he iv tends by that any menace or
offence to myself individually I (Laughter
from Republicans.) m
Mr. Potter.—What I meant to say was Ibis,
that when tbe member from Virginia had lefi
his own seat aud come down into the area, and
was shaking his list at Mr. Lovejoy, anu was
charging, so tbat it might go to the country,
the same offence, if it be an offence, upon
the geutleman from Illinois, I said what was
very natural that 1 should say under the cir
cumstances, that "You are doing the came
thing." 1 deprecated the shukingof lists on one
side as much as upon iheother; but 1 meant
what I theu said, and I stand by what I said.
Aud, sir, I said before that I consider that a
member has tbe right, aot only to correct bis
remarks a* takeu by the reporters, but it a re
mark has, in the excitement aad confusion of
tlieoccaaiou beeu left out, he has a perfect
right to pat it ia. 1 did put iv this remark,
because I wauled tbe report to be correct.—
That was the only motive I bad. And now,
Mr. Speaker, I will ask the member from Vir
giuia whether Re did aot, of hie owa motion,
erase tbat remark after it had been pat la the
report! I ask him what right he bad, even
alter I had put iv a remark, to erase it with.
out consulting me I When I looked over Ibe
notes again 1 saw what the gentleman from
Virginia had done; aud I now say that ha had
no right whatever to alter a single word or a
comma iv those remarks. I woultl have cut
my right* haad off before I would have done
it. Uut, sir, that remark of mine, put la its
proper place, at I altered it, was eulirei)
wiped out by tbe member from Virginia, (Mr.
Pnror.) Ha erased It lv such a way thai
neither tha reporters, the printers, uor
any body else could bare u»ld what were
the words which bad barea wmtea. It
was taking » liberty, Mr. Streaker, which
bo bad ao right to take. It it Do* right oi
•o person, la looking over tbe uo'mt ot the
reaorter. to tOßam ju.y remark there writtea,

RICHMOND, VA., MONDAY, APRIL 16, 186H
as he has the right to do, the (entletaaa from
V irgiuia has no business and no right what
ever to araeud, or alter, or strike oat the re
marks purporting to have been made by
another member. It is a liberty which I did
not lake, which I have no right to take, and
which no gentlemaß has the right to take.
Mr. Pryor.—One word, and the. I am done
with thii matter. Tbe gentleman from Wis
consin wants to know by what authority—
for be impeaches the act—l erased matter
which he had interpolated there. I erased no
word which tbe reporter had written upon
his manuscript, but 1 felt myself authorized
to erase an unwarrantable and impertinent
interjection in tbe gentleman's own band
writing. He says before ne would have done
that thing-eiased that which somebody else
had put upon the manuscript—he would have
hit arm cut off, and yet he could interject into
the manuscript that which tbe reporter did
not writedown and report bim to have said
(Laughter from the Republican benches.)-
The gentleman says that be stands by his lan
guage. 1 am glad to hear it. I understand him.
then, to give me the liberty of cons4_in(r his
remark as I please. I will put what construc
tion I please upon it, and whether or not be
stands by it tbe sequel will demonstate. (Oa.
n « '""Bntorfrom the Republican benches.)
Mr. Potter.-Let it demonstrate.
The Washington corretpondent of the Phila
delphia Press says:
The provision of the Constitution of Wis
consul against dueling is extremely severe.—
It deprives, any person sending or receiving a
challenge atony ofliee be may hold at the time,
forever disfranchises him from holding any
ofliee of trust, honor or gift of the people, and

Sunday Rev. Mr. Nichols preached a strong
sermon, iv which he advised, as weareinform
ed, the citizens to take tbe'higher law" into
their own hands for clearing out tbe liquor
sellers. On Wednesday- night the Coi.gre
•riiional Chuich, in which Mr. Nichols
preached, was entirely destroyed by fire. Oa
Thursday a meeting of citizens was held, and
a deputation of about fifty gentlemen was in
structed to wait on all the saloon keepers, and
give them notice that unless they closed up
their business it would be closed by force —
This duty was performed Friday, and the sa
loon keepers announced their intention of
making a forcible resistance in case they were
molested bya mob of the citizens. Inthemean
time au association had been formed in St. An
thony, composed ol Americans and Germans,
ot which a prominent German named John
Orlh, is the leader, for the purpose of assisting
the liquor sellers in case tbey are unlawfully
moles:ed; and aalesa a compromise is effected
between the parties to the coutioversy, scenes
of violence will ensne.
The Americans In iured at Rome.—Among
the Americans injured by the charge of the
Papal geudartr.es at Koine, was Key. W. W.
Hall, an Unitarian clergyman, of Providence,
R. 1. He was on the sidewalk when oue of
ibe soldiers struck him on the shoulder with
the flat of his sabre a violent blow, and mut
tering in reply to his remark that he was an
American, "*io« importu," "no matter," brought
the blade down upon his head with his ut
most force inflicting a gash upon the brow,
between the left eye and the temple. The
American Consul, Mr. H.Gleutwortb, of New
York, was getting into his carriage at his own
door, with a French officer, aud narrowly es
caped being wounded by a trooper, who struck
at him. Mr. Stockton, the American Minis
ter at Rome, applied to Cardinal Antonelli on
the subject, who assured him that if the facts
were as represented, his government was pre
pared to disavow the acts of his agent:; per
fumed without orders, and to discbarge ibem
if pointed out.
Loss or Life at Sea.—The bark Roscoe re
turned to New York Friday mor_iug, having
met with a sad accident on the voyage. While
on" Cape Horn, in lat. 5:1 41, long At 37, on the

mate lowered aud took one, and got him along
side the ship. Capt. Almy then lowered and
got his boat stove. The second mate went to
bis assistance, and all got into his boat, when
a whale came up and stove the boat, and all
perished. The names of those in the boat were
Capt. W. H. Almy, his son, Geo. H. Almy,
Hugh Bell, Henry Sanguinette, Edwin McNa
mara, James Casile, Warren and Manuel Por
tuguese. Previous to this, one of the crew,
Reuben C. Sayer, died of consumption.
Accident to an Actress.—A melancholy ac
cident occurred to Miss Charlotte Wyette, an
actress ot considerable ability, on the mh inst.,
while playing in the piece of "Faustue," at the
National Theatre, iv Cincinnati, where she is
now fulfilling an engagement. During the pro
gress of tbe piece she is supposed to be consigned
to tbe lower regions, and while the scenic effect
was being produced, by some means or other
a barrel of gunpowder lell and exphdett on
the stage, inlliciiiig serious injuries upon Miss
Wyette. Her skin was blackened aud her per
son otherwise disfigured. Medical aid was
promptly rendered, and it it to be hoped that
she will toon recover.
Tub Lynn Strike.—A paragraph is in cir
culation to the effect that the female strikers
of Lynn remain firmer than the men. Their
firmness is a matter of necessity; tbe number
of women who struck was small, and their
places were at once tilled by others. Tbe fa
mous processions of lemale strikers were
made up of milliners, dress-makers and g'rls,
who marched for tbe sport of the thing. The
manufacturer* find no difficulty in obtaining
workmen, aud are compelled to refuse the ap
plications of workmen.— Boston Advertiser,
llth inst.
Strakub Case.—A young O-erman, named
Schtessinger, in Cincinnati, a short time since

Railroad Accidb-t.—The express train
from St. Ljuis lor Chicago Thursday night,
broke through the tressel vrork bridge, tbree
miles North of Springfield, instantly killing
two men who were riding in front of tbe
baggage car. Tbe engineer aud fireman were
badly hurt. No others, were seriously injured.
Poieoaiao or Cuiloubn.—At the Orphan

fires of less than glo,noo. the loss amounts to
over _-,ooi-,ouo for the month.
Solid Oil in the Shape or Coal.—We
have been favored with a small specimen of
coal lrom tbe neighborhood of Cairo station,
Ritchie county, Va., on the Northwestern
Virginia Railroad, which isof a very peculiar
quality, it has been tested by various chem
ists, and bas been found to be, as it were,
crystalized mineral oil. being without strati
fication, and free from any foreign substance.
The tests bave shown that it will yield one
hundred and sixty-five gallons of crude oil to
the ton. After one refining process, ._• per
cent, of refined oil was obtained; after a sec
ond distillation, CI por cent, of the whole
amount was obtained in pure oil, and M per
cent, of lubricating oil and parailine. By tak
ing a portion of tbe coal and laying it on a
hot stove or shovel, its extraordinary quality
is obvious. It melts and runs like wax. It is
quite probable that if shafts are sunk deep
enough, a reservoir of mineral oil, similar to
that in Venango county, will be reached.from
which this vertical veiu of solid oil has origi
nated.— Pittsburg Post.
Sea Elephant Oil—A schooner has lately
arnvedinNewport(R.l.)barbor,fromacruiee
after sea elephant oil in the vicinity of the
Desolation Islands, situated West of Cape
Horn, between tbat and the Straits of Magel
lan. Thii branch ol fishery is said to be in
perecding somewhat, of late years, the whale
fishery, and is quite as successful Ten ves
sels were on the coast when she sailed—two
ships, tbree harks, and five schooners. One
of the ships had on board 3,:«*ti barrels of oil,
and the other :j,ooo. One bark had IBtxj barrels,
and the other was full. The schooners gene
rally operate as tenders to the larger vessels,
being employed for navigatiug the smaller
rivers, where the sea elephant aoounds. The
oil is tried out on shore and theu carried by
the schooners on board tbe heavier craft,
which are moored in deeper water.
Liberal Gi*t to a Clay Association.—
In New Orleans, the day before the inaugura
tion ot the Clay statue, the Clay Monumental
Association received a package, which, upon
being opened, was found to contain an earth
enware image, in an old-fashioned surtout
and peaked hat. the latter bearing on the front
the letters M. K. C. The Chairman, while ex
amining the oddly-shaped figure, and wonder
ing what could be the significance of such an
offering, heard something rattle inside. Re
moving a ribbon wound tightly About it, he
found that the little creature was in two
pieces, and taking him apart, out rolled three
hundred gold dollars, and a note telling that
thejrift cam;* from the association known as
the "Mystic Kre-.v of Comas."
From Utah and J_FrERSoN.—The Central
Overland Mail and Pike's Peak Express ar
rived at Atchison, Kansas, Thursday, bring,
ing dates from Salt Lnke to the -<>4th of March,
and Denver city io the sth of April, with _ In,-
Olsi in goldrer express, and tf«,tKHi la the hands
of the passengers. The reports from the
mines are more favorable than ever. Many
new and rich discoveries have been made.—
The weather was very fine, and emigrant*
were arriving daily. The California Pony
Express was met at Chimney Rock, on the tith
inst., at •_ o'clock, A. M. A shooting affray
occurred at Rocky Ridre on the i:tth ult—
Lewis Hame and Joe Cady were killed, and
Bill Finley wounded. There is no news of
importance from Camp Floyd.
Sales or Land in Roanokb County.—
Several valuable tracts of laud, iv Koauoke
county, Va., have recently exchanged hands,
at prices that indicate no depreciation iv pro
perty of that kind. Mr. Thomas Tosh sold
his Big Spring Mills, with a body ot moun
tain land attached, to Mr. Elijah G. McClana
han, at the price of BBUjBIB. Mr. Tosh after
wards bought 431 acres of the "Waverly
Farm," including tbe dwelling, from Mr. Jno.
W. Hurt, at $u5 per acre; and Mr. Hurt bought
from Major llammet the Green Hill or Craig
Farm, at the price of ?.I~>,OUU, which is about
#50 per acre.— Salem ( Va.} Register.
The Entente Cordials.—The London
Times seems to apprehend serious consequen
ces in the event ot tbe disruption of the ami
cable and confidential relations between
France and England, chiefly because it may
affect the spirit with which the late commer
cial treaty will be carried into effect by Fiance.
So tar, it says, the Emperor bas gained all his
objects. He has crippled Austria, neutralized
Russia, aud consolidated' Italy. He has de
ceived the government but not tbe people of
England, who never trusted him, though tbey
had not thought it necessary to be constantly
telling bim so.
Good Fishing.—Albert Blake, a shoemaker
of Ciaremoiu, N. 11., (says The Eagle,) went
fishing the other day, up Black River, near
Cavandish, Vt., and soon made fast to a pike,
which, lrom the strength of its pull, be " sus
picioned" was oue of the settlers. After an
exciting struggle of some tweuty minutes, he
succeeded iv lauding it safely and brought it
home. This respectable fish measures tbree
feet four inches iv length, weighs eighteen and
three-quarters pounds, and was taken with a
common trout line!
Hkavv Imports.—The Portland (Me.) Ad
vertiser says thai the aggregate amount of
goods passed through the Bonded Warehouse
at that port, brought by the Canadian steam
ships the past winter, amounts already to
over S'lo,M'l'.imiu; tbe cargo brought by tbe Bo
hemian alone ou ber last trip beiug valued at
over «l,U(Ki,ii(Ki. The cargoes of tbe Indian and
Hungarian would bave swelled this amouut
considerably, as that of the Hungarian alone
was estimated at $l,Utiu,ijuu.
Freshet at Wheeling.—There waa a furi
ous rain storm at Wheeling, Va., on Wednes
day last, and on Thursday the Ohio river was
rising at the rate of one inch an hour. Centre
Wheeling and Richietown were submerged to
a sreat extent. The cellars of the stores oil
Main, below Monroe streets, were filled with
water, aud skiffs were plying about the locali
ty. No train ou the Baltimore aud Onio Rail
road bad reached the city for two days.
Excitement at Knoxville, Term A great
deal of excitement was caused at Knoxville,
Term., on Monday, by a young lawyer named
O'Uara using language derogatory to all la
dies of the Protestaut faith iv that city. He
was taken before tbe Mayor, but before tbe ex
ami nation was concluded, was siezed by a
erowdof two or three hundred persons, riddeu
on a rail, and given notice to leave the city,
which he did on the Southern train that night.
Tub Latu Stobm in Virginia.—a letter
from Clark county, Va., says that the storm
in that section, on Monday night last, was
very violent. Hail and rain fell ia,«orrenu,
aud there was much damage to property in
and about White Post. About Rectortown,
in Fauquier, the storm was severe. All aloug
the river, in Stafford, King (J-eorge, _c, hail
fell "hi quantities." Such a storm iv April
has rarely beeu experienced.

m. Circuit Coun- .ludge Meredith aresidiag.-
Tbe greater porMoa af the aeatioa of this
Court, oa Saturday tact,was spent la the trial
of Whitmell Eason, charged with feloniously
stabbiug aad wouadiag Philip G. Spindle, oa
tbe night of tbe 18th ef Jan nary last. The
accused aad Augustus B. Lipscomb were In
company at tbe time of the stabbing, aad both
bad been indulging freely iv intoxicating
drinks. While passing up Broad street they
met Spindle and a friead coming down, and
without knowing Spiadle, Liptcomb attempt
ed to trip him down. This unwarranted lib*
erty lad to words between the parties, aad at
length Lipscomb struck Spindle, aad a flght
seemed inevitable, when Eaton stabbed Spin
dle in tbe back. That Bight both Eason aad
Lipscomb were arrested, and after aa exami
nation before tbe Mayor aad a "called court,"
were remanded and jointly indicted by tha
Grand Jury of tbe Circuit Oburt for felony.—
Soon after tbe case was called last Saturday
morning, a nolle prosequi was entered ia tha
case ef Lipscomb, and he was made a Com
monwealth's witness. The trial was conduct
ed, on the part ol the defence, by Col. Angast,
and for tbe Commonwealth by Mr. Tazewell.
After hearing the evidence and argument of
counsel, tbe jury brought in a verdict of guilty
of unlawful stabbiug against Eason. and he
was sentenced to five months' confinement in
the city jail.
In the case of James P. Henry, who was
found guilty by tbe jury of stealing g.IOO
worth of watches from M. G. Whitman, and
bis punishment ascertained to be tbree years'
confinement in the Penitentiary, Col. August
filed his bill of exceptions, and the prisoner
will, therefore, have another opportunity to
escape tbe punishment meted out to him.
Tlic Virginia Stable— we mean that of the
Messrs. Doswell—is now on its way home,
having won honors enough wherever it hae
been to satisfy the ambition of the owners
and their friends. Planet and Fanny Wash
ington—probably the best pair of racers in
any one stable in tbe Union—have surpassed
onr highest expectations iv their perform
ances ; for they have beeu in constant train
ing for months, and must have begun to grow
stale before they reached New Orleans. We
had heard so much of the Southern and
Western "cracks," that we-e said to be ly
ing iv wait for them at the Crescent city, that
we had supposed they were to be taken by
storm in every engagement. To onr disap
pointment, however, they bore off both tbe
four mile races, as wejl as that at three miles,
apparently without a struggle. Two days af
ter winning the "Planet Stake," Planet was
beaten at two mile beau by 'Daniel Bjone,"
a promising Kentucky colt; but we presume
no one saw tbe race that did not see Planet
was sore from bis eight miles' run, and un
able to do justice to himself. Tbe fact tbat he
had been drawn for a long race only three
days before, and tbat he had run it in good
time, wonld have deterred anybody but his
owner from starting him in a two mile race.
And tbe further fact that Mr. Doswell offered
to match him against Darnel Boone, or any
other horse, he betting ?*-»,ixhj io 915,000, if tbe
race was run at "Ashland," is the best evi
dence that his decryers thought they had
caught him when off his feet, and were un
willing to try him again.
Dt structive Fire.— Between the hours of 3 and
4 o'clock yesterday morning, the residence of
Mr. Lewis Dowdy, in Rocketts old field, was
discovered to be in a light blaze, and as the
family were all asleep, they narrowly escaped
suffocation and burning before they could be
aroused. Some of them fled from the house
in their night clothes, and others barely bad
time to save the apparel tbey bad pulled off
the night before. In tbe two lower chambers
some few articles were saved, but in all other
parts of the building every vestige of furni
ture was destroyed with the house, which was
burned to tbe ground. Mr. Dowdy had a small
insurance on the building. His loss will tall
heavily upon him.
Fire-Anns. — The inventive genius of tbe
whole country seems to be applying itself to
the perfection of fire-arms, and, as a conse
quence, new models are being prepared of guns
and pistols,and new patents are being applied
for every day. In March last a rentleman
named BaU-ock obtained a patent fora breech
loading pistol, which must become very popu
lar with all wiio need such weapons for self
protection or amusement. We understand
tbat arrangements are now being made with
Mr. James It. Browne, of this city, to com
mence the manufacture of the " Babcock pis
tol,*' and if completed, that he will soon be
able to supply the entire South with this sim
ple, cheap and effective weapon.
Good Haul.—A few nights since the sleeping
apartments at the Columbian Hotel, of Mr.
Ellington, a merchant,of NoribCarolina, was
entered, and *M<ftJ in money were stolen from
under his pillow, upon which he was lying —
The police have been making efforts to discov
er the thief, but thus far no arrest bas beeu
made. Strangers visiting the city should nev
er exhibit tbeir money to unknown persons,
aud should always deposit it in the hotel offi
ces or elsewhere, as soon as they arrive. In
Kicbmond, as in other cities, there are always
gangs of thieves lying in wait for unsuspect
ing persons, and when once they find tbat a
stranger bas money, tbey are almost sure to
eith.-r by swindling or robbery.
Male Orphan Society — Annual Meeting. —We
invite attention to tbe advertisement of this
meeting in another column. This society ia
doing a good wo k, aud merits, for the sake of
the orphans under its charge, the fostering care
of the whole community. Interesting facts
concerning the present condition and pros
pects of tbe enterprise, will be developed this
evening. Addresses will be delivered, and all
tbe exercises will be of a character which will
be gratifying to the philanthropic heart. We
hope there will be a large attendance.
Street Dicing. —The police have been en
gaged, for several days past, in reportiug team
sters for improper driving in the streets, over
loading tbeir vehicles, aud charging more for
traveling than the ordinance allows; aud, as
a consequence, the Mayor has been compelled
to impose fines on the violators. If tbose per
sons who habitually trample upon the city
laws, kuew that when caught, the highest
fines would be imposed. Instead of the lowest,
they would not be so ready to take the chances
tor punishment.
Trespassing.— On Saturday afternoon last a
young man, doubtless under tbe influence of
bad spirits, eutered the Theatre, and com
menced to break up and destroy the "bass viol"
and other musical instruments, belonging to
the orchestra. Luckily for the musicians,
one of the leading actors happened to discover
tbe trespasser in time to prevent further out
rages, and promptly handed him over to officer
Cbalkley, to be dealt with by the Mayor.
Police Item*.— The night watch made but
few arrests on Saturday night last. Two or
three negroes were locked up lor want of
passes, aud oce for being drunk and disorder
ly. Yesterday morning tbey were examined
by Alderman Sadler, and disposed of as the
law directs. Owners of slaves often give
illegal passes, through carelessness or igno
rance, and thus subject them to arrest.
Not Proved.—Tho charge against William
Martin, a lad, of stealiug R_j from William
Ready, was inquired into by tbe Mayor, last
Saturday, aud dismissed, there being no evi
dence to sustain it. Mr. R. lost fstu from bis
place of business and young Martin bad au
opportunity of taking it, bnt others bad equal
chances with bim.
Fir/.— The alarm of tire between the hours
of • and 9 o'clock last Saturday night, was
caused by tbe accidental burniug of a quanti
ty of waste paper, iv the large frame building
at the northwest corner of tub and Main
streets. The promptness of tbe firemen no
doubt saved tbe building from destruction.—
Damage small.
Got his Deserts.—A negro fellow, named
Wallace, was arresiei_ and taken before tbe
Mayor last Saturday to answer the charge of
assaulting aud beating a white boy. Tbe evi
dence proved bis guilt so clearly, that he was
sentenced to receive twenty atripes. Such ne
groes ougtit to be sent Sou ib, where they
would be made to know their true position.
Glen for*.—This favorite river boat was
taken ap oa the Virginia atariue railway last
Saturday, for painiiiig aud overhauling, pre

Theatrical. —We are requested to say that
Mr. English's great sensation play of "The
Three Fast Men," will positively be perform
ed this evening. Miss Lucille having recover
ed from her indisposition, and with her sister,
will appear ia their celebrated changeable

Woollen Goods.—The Superintendent of the
Manchester Cotton and Woollen Factory, ex
pects to commence the weaving of woollen
goods this week, and will at once make up a
stock sufficient to supply this market. Coarse
woollens, for servants' wear, can be made here
as good and as cheap as at any other point in
the country, aad will And a ready sale with
farmers and manufacturers.
Fishing Parties are very fashionable at this
time, though tbe finny tribe seem to be not at

withstanding tbe high winds and rough tide,
had a very pleasant time.
Disorderly. — Jeremiah Coughlin, charged
With being disorderly in the Second Market,
