 A fracas took place here to-day, which has caused much snerriment with us, and 1t. may excite the risibles of the good citizens of Gotham. Lieut.. Webb, late Ofthe army of the United States, now one of the editors of the New-York Courier and Enquirer, met Gen. Green, late patrol officer of village in Kentucky; now editor of.the United States Telegraph. near the Capitol; and, as Gener~ al Green relates the story, the said Lieut.. Webb had predetermined to kick up fight. The combatants do not agree in any palticu- lars of what took place and. as no person was present, it is not probable the precise truth will ever be known. The circnmstan- ccs, as related by Gen. Green, are subs&an- tially as follows :--That he was walking a- long peaceably, without harbouring any mal- ice, hatred, ill-will, or revenge, against any son of Adam, when he met Ut. Webb. armed with bludgeon nearly as large as the staff of Goliath. (larger, of course, than the one car- ried by Gen. Green after the assault on Mir. J. Adams by MT. Jaryis,) which he raised in' a menacing manner; and being in fear, from the ferocity of Lieut. Webb's coantenGncc. that he,. the said It. Webb, intended to infict serious injury. with force and arms. upon the body of him, the said Gen. Green, thus be- ing in the psace-that hc.the said Gen. Green, put himself in a posture of defence, and drew a'pistol, which he pointed towards the body of him, the said It. Webb, with firm and fixed determination to discharge it, if Lieut..
 Webb should approach farther towards him. in hostile manner; whereupOn the said Lieut. Webb, sensible that Ee was not bul- let proof propused to the said Gen Green to throw away his pistol, and, as qnid pro quo. that he. the said Lieut.. Webb. would throw away his bludgeon. and thereafter that they
 would take "a brotherly. republican fight at
 fisticuffs, with which proposition the said Gen.
 Green refused to comply, and assigned for a
 reason for such, his refusal. that he had pro-
 cured said pistol to defend himself against StlCn FdSCdlS as He CUIStUCIGu tAS 90AN AAAS~se Webb to be. @ < Lieut.. Webb gives the following relation, 1 in substance, of said rencounter :-That he
 was walking peaceably along, with small
 rattan in his hand, which he was wont ts car-' | " in the peaceable city of Gotham, without
 any intent to do personal injury to any one. and without any expectation or deslfe Os ] 'Iircti"e Ot". dt~~s, sVhnns..- -hnMRYRF.. 4hR
 did meet, and that Gen. Green drew and pre-
 sented pistol; whereupon. he. the said It.
 Webb, demanded of the said Gen. Green tO 1 say whether or not he was coward and 1 scoandrel, thus fo draw a pstol and thus tD interrupt peaceable citizen. which General
 Green declined to answer. tan appeal being
 made to his honor and yeracity.) and prefer red to take shelter under the well known prin- ciple- of law, that no man is obliged to criTn- mate himseif;" and that thereupon the said
 Lienf Webb proposed that all warlike. or of- fensive, or defensive weapons, be put aside, and that they rely on their: arms of flesh
 which Gen. rcen.considering that san ounce of prevention is worth pound of cure," reiu- sed to doit. V .s s..,.,,@ s7,
 The parties. not being ablestoagrce on the terms of approachiDg nearer tnscach other. thought proper to separate. eyeing each oth- CT as they retired. the one being on his guard against a blow, from the blidgeon, and the otherfor fsarhe might smell powder fromthe rear. s,.sssss-- fets.s%$ ss.~ts s9s-s

 NASHVILLE. April 27. Another Steasa.boat Accident.--On Friday lasr, as the steam-boat Tally-Ho, Farmer. muster. was proceeding down the Cnmber- laad.y near Dover, one of her boilers burst. killing q sailor and asnegro. and s0 terribly burning the Engineer. Mir. Stnrdevant. that he died few hours after. ssg a1- E We understand the boat had just received supply of wood, was in the act of putting of. and the Engineer about to let the steam upon the Engine, when the cap of the boiler. which appeafsfo have been very imperfectIy made, was forced of. projecting the boiler to the rear, where 1t confined the Engineer. burning him fatally. ia 8s ! :, ae5...s.A NJ This accident appears to have been caused solely by an original defect in part of the boiler; agdn0 blame can attach toany man ager fthe boat.
 The TalI0- Ho. which is not materially in- jured, is a new boat. and is the property of egessrs. Nichol & Hill of this place. Mr. Sturdeyant. the Engineer, was a citizen Of Nashville and worthy man; he has lett a family which will not be forgotten by those in whose employment he was uniortunateiy Rspnbiicoa. m
