captain Carson and a lieutenant Smith pis-
tol was discharged by Smith at Carson, and tl,.
contents of it entered his mouth. The cries of
female, who it appears, was the wife Of captain
Carso,; (wlo had been absent) previous 10 her
marriage with Smith, induced the Editor, with
several citizens, to repar.to TIE house, where
Carson lay, with the pistol near him. Smith
was Immediately arrested and put into the Gus
tody ofthe watch. We refrain from. saying more
on this dreadful circumstance, as we understand
an examination will take place before the Mayor
this morning. Carson's life is despaired of.
