Richmond, August 24.—For
several (lays past vague rumors
have prevailed here that a corr>s

culminate in a hostile meeting, hut
lust evening it wus reported that
the correspondence ha*i terminated
in an amicable adjustment of the
difficulty This between the parties.
morning, however, the affair
we reported to have assumed n
different nspcct, and upon the
strength of this report warrants
were issued for the arrest of the
alleged principals, Dr. Geo. Ben

Senate.' Johnston and nephew ol
Gen. Jos K. Johnston) and Capt.
JohnS. Wise (son of th late Gov¬
ernor of being Henry A. Wise), on the charge
about to engage in a breach
of the peace. Dr. Johnston was
arrested at two o clock this morn*
lug and taken before a magistrate
and bailed in 12,000 for his appear¬
ance at the Police Court to-morrow.
Captain Wise has not yet been
arrested.
The difficulty is said to have lmd
it* o rigin ns follows: “Izast winter
Capt. John 8. Wise’s name was
presented for membership in the
Westmoreland Club, which is com¬
posed of many of the beet citizens
of Richmond, but, despite and Captain
Wise’s high connection social
standing, he was black-balled with
considerable unanimity. This
action of the club was generally
known, an*» freely discussed, vari¬
ous reasons being assigned therefor,
hut the actual cause was not made
public until recently, when Dr.
Johnston stated in such a manner
that the information would reach
Captain Wise that he was one of
the many who had black-balled
Wise, and he also had organized
and carried out th© movement which
had resulted in his rejection, giving
as hu reason for doing so that he
(Johnston) had at least considered
that Wise’s conduct in the Congres¬
sional canvass, in which hi. uncle
Jos. E. Johnston was a candidate,
had not been that of a gentleman
towards Gen. Johnston, nor had he
treated bint with such respect as
the General's age and his position
should hav* demanded.”
It is still claimed by the friends
of the parties that matters had been
adjusted, and that there was no
necessity for the srrest of the prin¬

St. Louis, August 19.—Telegrams
received last night from Captain T.
W. Bedard, of the wrecking boat T.

to plunder the Vicksburg, and that

On Friday evening last in At¬

a negro woman confined in the
calaboose awaiting an investigation
suicide by a lunacy committee, attempted
by bunging. She twisted
some of her underclothing into a
rone, and placing the noose about
her neck, tied the other end to the
top bar of the door to the cell in
which she was confined, and threw
her weight upon the cord. A hoy
happened to enter the prison and
discovered the would-be suicide
before death happened, anti an
interference saved her life, although
she had well nigh accomplished
her purpose.. She i< now in the
hands of friends, who will exercise
a sufficient vigilance to prevent
a repalitioo of the deed.
If one half that is told of the

were exacted for everything that

their complaints all over the land.
Chicago has given its rivals «f St.
