TERRIBLE AFFRAY. —NEW ORLEANS, July 20.—The steamer
Carrollton, arrived on Sunday last from Vicksburgh, brings
intelligence of a deadly affray which took place there previous
to leaving, between a planter of the name of Randolph and a
Dr. Watts, both citizens of that place. It originated from an
old grudge, said-to have existed between the parties for some
time. It appears Dr. Watts met Randolph on the morning of
the 14th inst., when he drew from his breast it pistol, which he
and perceiving that he
tfivraesduantairintdl,ohipehr;a nb uutp mtoishsiimng, ahniirin'inflieted several blows on
his head, with the but-end of the pistol. Some time after, when
Randolph had recovered from the blows inflicted on hint, he
armed himself with a brace of pistols, and meeting Watts at the
Mansion-house, where they both boarded, followed him and
fired as he entered his own room, when in the act of seating
himself alongside of his lady. The ball passed through his right
ar.n ; with the other he made an effort to seize Randolph, but
failing, Randolph fired a second pistol at him, the ball from
which lodged in his side. The Doctor's brother, on being in.
formed of the rencontre, seized a rifle and made towards Ran-
dolph's apartment, threatening to break open the door and take
his life. The window happening to be•opeo at the moment Ran-
dolph, fired from it with unerring aim, and shot Watts through
the heart. Both the Watts's were placed on the same bed; the
dead and dying—a sight well calculated to check the uncontrolled
and fiery passions of those around. Randolph, after the perpe-
tration of the,above; walked deliberately from the room into the
street, amongst a crowd of spectators, with cocked pistols in
each hand. No attempt was made to impede his progress, and
he quietly proceeded to the ferry, which he crossed, seemingly
under no apprehension of arrest.
