Nkwberrt, March 22.—1 hardly expected
to write so soon, but 1 drop u line, hastily, to
.nform you of a very serious affair that occur
red this afternoon, about four o’clock. 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. With Davis 1 was well acquainted.— : ’
He has always been consider.! by hisaecquain- 1
tanees a high-toned, moral and inoffensive man. : 1
As the facts of the case w ill be brought out be
fore the Coroner, I will not refer to them.—
Mr. Deavenport is about sixteen er seventeen
voars of age. •
Tut R.-n.ir. Mardi 23.—This morning Davis
i still alive, but th" Doctor thinks there i.s no
■banco for him to live, us he is kept alive by
stimulants.
As I was about mailing this, I have Loen
obi by the Doctor that it is imp. - ildc for Da
vis to live through the day. In all probability
he will be a corpse before this reaches you.

provinces over which he reigned, at. the insti- i
nation of Haman, who even offered to pay J l '.
I''ll talents of silver to defray the expsnees. t<

‘•The biil aboHnUiug slavery in the Territory ol

ivuidtd the alternative of signing or vetoing it. The

ionally gave the Governor a chance to ‘pocket’ it.—

Siie soon revived, and to my eager question- I
ing us to the cause ot her painful situation re- |
plied, that all her family bad fallen victims to i
the cholera with the exception ol' the eldest I]
brother, who Lad recovered from the disease • <
only to exliil'it symptoms of that dnrk iimitnaly .'
of the human mind —insanity’. That she had '

pktely restore him to hi- former strong mind

J remembered to have noticed the increasing

No time was to Le lost. Hastily telling her

We publish in another column foreign ac
counts hy the steamers Persia, Kangaroo anil

< sinus as to the prospects of peace or war in
Europe. Our opinion is that war is inevita

purgative in thinning out the crowded popula
tion i f the European countries, aud will prove
beneficial, rather than detrimental, to the in
terests of the I'nited States.

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. Van Horn I
was partially stunned l.y the blow, but got up and
made a rush towards Lamar. Both parties are ac
cuslome.l to go armed, aud a scene was anticipated, j

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.— ]

Obstructions in the Streets and.
SIDEWALKS.
Messrs. Editors:—\ have long wondered'
why the city authorities allowed so ntanr ob
structions to the free and convenient pa s illf o
■<t individuals and vehicles on our wide and
spacious streets and sidewalks. It has been
• dernted so long that it has become not only
tn a -oiuiimble nuisance to passengets, but an
injury to the trade of merchants in whose
neighborhood it is praeti -ed. They too are
much to blame for piling empty boxes, goods
Ac., on the sidewalks when there exists no ne
cessity for it.
These walks and streets were laid out and
arranged for the use and convenience of the
public and it is to be hoped that the proper of
icers w ill discharge then- duty and see that ail
innecessary encumbrances are immediately
emoved and.that no individual shall l.e al
lowed to interfere iu any manner with the
rights which our citizens have to free and un
obstructed streets and sidewalks.
SUFFERER.
(CORHCNICATED.)
M it. Editor : For several days past vre have
ibserved an insane man wandering through
air streets, and notwithstanding he lia- thus
,’ar committed no acts of violence, we have no
guarantee that L:s unrestrained liberty may
net be pr.aluctive of st ri ms evil. If we have
a law for the protection oi persons and proper
y, it should be enforced, and if vve have offi
cers they should be Compelled to perform their
duty.
His Honor, tne May >r, sh .übl take cogni
zance of the matter and have it attended to
vithout delay.
