A youug man by the name of John Deavenport, shot ' another by the name of Jesse Davis, and it is 1 feared the wound is fatal. Indeed, it was re ported in Court that he was dead, which cans- 1 ed his Honor to adjourn until to-morrow at the 1 usual hour. I cannot speak of voting Deavenport person- 1 div, not having any accipiaiutance with him. 1 as he hud but a short time since reached here r. m l iorida. 1 presume on a visit to his tela- 1 tions.

Sal© c f th© Wanderer. “The rchonaer Wanderer was sold this morning by the I ailed States mar-hal, according to advertise ment, in iroatnf the custom house. At 11 o'clock a good i r >wd had collected, when Mr. Stewart, the , I : itvl States marshal proceeded to sell a trunk • which rois found on board, containing private pa- j . ; rs belonging to Capt. Corrie, lie staled that there ' was nothing but letters and papers in the trunk and hoped s at person would buy it and send it to Capt. • Mr. C. A. I.ainar thenb.d onedollar, at which pHee i it was knocked off to him. The marshal then rest! . the advertisement under which bo offered the Wan derer lor sale, when .Mr. Lamar, who was standing I by his side, said : “Gentlemen, I claim the vesse I a- my property, taken from me by the high hand I the law. 1 intend to buy her, and it remains with ' you to say whether I shall bo tsompeiled to pay a high price for her or not. " The flrst bid was JjOO, and from this it ran -lowly up to $750, when Mr. Charles Van Horn, the jailor of Chatham county, who was 1 bidding against Mr. Lamar, jumped to SIOOO. It then ran along between these two. $25 at a time, till ; it reached about 350(1, with the exception of two or , three more SSO starts by Van Horn. There was ve ry little dwelling on any bid, each party nodding as soon as the bid of the opposite parly was annouuc- • cd. Several gcntkmeu in the crowd spoke to Mr. Van Horn begging him to cease bidding, as they did not | const lir it right after what Lamar had said, but he went on nntil his last bid was $3075. Lamar bid ' sl'oo. ai d the Wanderer was knocked off to him. j He was stun.lings directly beside the United Stater ' marshal, and Van Horn, -yas in front, about ten feet ' ; distant. I was facing Lamar, and as the bidding went on, I saw that in his eye which betoken mis chief, and watched lhe motions of the parties accord- ’ ingly. As soon as the sale was completed, Lamar walked towards Van Horn, denounced hfiu with the 1 most opprohious upitueva. and as soon as he conclud- ; , ed, he got near enough to strike, which be did effec tually. The blow took effect on Van Horu'sear, turning i him completely around, and forcing him to describe - almost a somerset (o the m.-uuU. The crowd cheer ' ed bravo most lustily, and closed around.

The New York .Veicsof ihursday, says: Yesterday was the “opening day” of the modistes. lu bonnets especially the ladies snowed an interest in no way diminished. The head-dresses and bonnets of last Winter's styn were removed to make way for the delicate and brilliant creations suited to the approach ing season. Straws, it was observed, were decidedly iu the preponderance, and Fashion has shown her good taste in repressing the exuberance of trimming formerly too much it: vogue. The shapes are but slightly altei.ed; the crowns urea little large aud more droop ing; the pointed front is more over the face; the contrasts of color are not so abrupt, and the blending of black and white laces is more of a feature. The bandeau across the top oi the forehead is revived—a very great conven ience in retaining the bonnet firmly on the head, and, moreover, extremely becoming. Green and lilac crape are favorite materials We saw one of green, edged with white blonde, trimmed with a cluster of white roses. A funey straw, edged with narrow brown velvet "taste,"’ with a fold of brown silk laid back irom the front, trimmed inside with blue vel- ‘ vet over the blonde ruche, was much admired in one of the most fashionable establishments. One of the most fashionable oi williners showed us a beautiful pink erape, edged win. blonde that overhung the cape. It had a bunch of roses and -prays mt the top, and at the bot tom of the crown behind; w hite blonde inside, with pink strings. A very striking novelty was a bonnet of dark blue crape, edged wtti. wbitei.lonile, and trimmed with a coiffure ofthe ' same; white blonde inside and white strings A most effective bonnet was made of lihv 1 silk, plain on the foundation uttd covered with ' point lace, it was trimmed with white feath ers, tipped with lilac; the lace trimming a liia band covered with tulle, with white roses ot. one side, and a narrow black lace barbe on the other. Colored straws will be much worn, and straw lace is a new and beautiful ornament.— ! It is often in two colors or shades, and, mixed , with ribbon, hits a fine effect. Aline white, straw bonnet was trimmed with a bundle ol barley sheafs and straw tassels; a black lace i barbe laid over the top aud fastened at the side with ribbon tastefully wreathed with straw cord. One of extremely delicate sea green crape was covered w ith a barbe of the same, edged w ith white b,io,ude, and trimmed with bunches of white clematis; inside was a band eau of crape in small box plaits, edged with narrow black lace and clusters of moss rose- ' buds. A puffing ot white tulle, dotted with , black, tormed an inside trimming altogether ; new. We saw also aline straw, covered with * I black thread net, puffed over tne front, and | ! finished un the top with a ruffle of black bion . j de. The crown, front and cape were slashed ■ with light bate silk, and three silk ruses decor ateil the cape. Another straw v«t«s covered with a coiffure of delicate black maltese lace, 1 I fallttig aver the front a 1 ttle. The trimming ■ ! of lilac and butt ribbou was wreathed with ' straw cord. The strings were buff and lilac. A boui.et of grey straw- net work over w bite crape w«» light ami graceful, the front was ot straw ; the trimming grey ribbon witli colored edges. Flowers aud black lace formed the in side trimming. Another was co(gnu«e*i of open black net laid over white. A Neapolitan straw i had a full of black lace over white ribbon, a white blonde drooping over the front; M ttd ' scarlet Howers with lace inside, with strings oi whitff ribbon, Several beautiful black crajie bonnets wen, ' trimmed with box plaits or massive folds of the »umc, without bowser ends. On one was ; a duster of erape flowers, with long grass in black ; the strings of crape, tucked at the hot tom. Black ribbon strings replace the incon venient erape ones, and plum black tulle, »« I full that even fourteen yards are put in a cap, 1 is worn iu deep mourning, instead of ,| ie crape plaits, or the nuu|i|tu withy's cap.— ] Jlture •ectus, Indeed, Io be gem-ral llgblMing 1 iu ibis deportment. * 1 ■ss.
