sent in the direction Of the foot bridge, pro-
ceeded as far as the Hospital, distant about a
quarter of mile, without seeing Inc ooJects OF
their search, and were on their return when they
were startled by the report OF two pistols as
near together as possible, within iorty pa
ces of them. They rushed to the spot, and be.
held Lieutenant Bourne lying on his back, and

near him stood Lieutenant Smith, with pls-

took up The other pistol, and handing both to
The sergeant, desired him to carry them to the
Barracks-He then turned away and proceed
ed in the direction Of the Barracks himself,
while the men slowly followed, bearing Lieut.
Bourne, who still survived though unable to
speak. AS they entered the Barracks, they met
Smith coming out, who enquired where Lieut..
Bourne was shot? and learning that the ball had
entered about two inches below the right breast
he hurried away. We understand he came di'
rectly to Norfolk, and is reported TO have taken
passage in one Of the New York packets,
which sailed Saturday afternoon, but we have
conversed with gentleman, who assured us
that he crossed over to Hampton, where he hi
red horse and gig and proceeded on to York
Bourne survived only an hour after he was car
ried to the Barracks. On account OF the alb
sence of the Coroner, the Inquest was not con-
vened until yesterday. Their verdict was,
that the deceased came to his death by pis-
tol shot fired by Constantine Smith.
1t is the general belief that they fought with
out seconds; but the ser cant in his testimony
before the Inquest, stated that he saw two men
as he came up, hurrying away through the
bushes, and soon after heard the railing OF
carriage wheels, which renders it probable
that they were duly provided in this particular
We understand that 1t. Bourne was the chal
lenger.
We were not personally acquainted with Ell
Their of the parties, but are informed that they

"an ungenerous attack upon their feelings as men, and

"BLOODY BUSHES

Lieut.. VIM I Bourne, Of Marine Corps, at
tached to Major Anderson's command, at the
Gosport Navy Yard, was killed by pistol shot
on Saturday morning last near the foot bridge
between the Marine Barracks and the Hospital.
From the evidence given in at the inquest held
over the body, and from other sources, we are
enabled to state the following particulars res
pecting this shocking occurrence:-Between
the deceased and Lieutenant Smith, of the same
corps, feud had for some time existed, origi-
mating in some chickering's upon points OF duty;
which would have resulted in a duel in the ear
y stage Of it, but for the prompt interference OF
their commanding officer. Their luminosity,
however, appears to have been SO deep rooted,
that neither this check, nor the remonstran-
ces OF their friends, could incline them to re-
Cancellation. Orders were therefore given TO
the guards TO report TO the officer in command
every suspicious movement Of these misguided
young men, from which the intention OF rem
conire might be inferred. Accordingly on Sa-
turday morning last, shortly after day break,
the Sergeant Of the guard reported 10 Captain

the Senate on Monday, and are now laws of the
state, the amendments of the Senate having
been adopted by the House without debate. A
letter to the editors, written on Monday night,
says:-"The question is settled-the Senate
has just passed the Internal improvement bill,
affirmative 8, negative 5. Maryland will soon
stand on an equal footing with the rest of her
sister states-she will neither be last nor least.
The bill TO establish Board of Public Works
has also passed both houses"
