T~RAGEDY--On the night of the 18th inst,
while the Steamboat Yucatan was Wooding
at the yard of ]. w. Kincheloe, opposite
Millikin's Bend, a dispute arose between
Klncheloe and WI b. Richards, the Clerk
Of the Boat about the measurement Of the
wood, which led to an ARRAY, dur ing which
Kincheloe drew a pistol and shot the Clerk
dead on the spot -KincheIoe was seized and
taken on board the Boat, which immediately
started up the River. The Grace Darling
was wooding at the same time and started
before the Yucatan,-stopped at Princeton
and informed the inhabitants Of The occurrence.
When the Yucatan approached they hailed
her and made them give up Kincheioe. We
understand that Richards was from Warren
Springs, Va. The Vicksburg Wing Of the
Goth says that Kincheloe has been tried be-
fore one Of the Magistrates and acquitted on
the ground that he acted in self.defence.

AFFECTING INcTDENT.- The st. Louis
Peoples Organ says:
We have heard an incident relative to the
disaster Of the Sheperdess, which we think
worthy Of record. Among the passengers
wa a lad, about II years Of age, named
Casely or Casey, from Shelby county, Ky.
When the boat began to sink, his first move.
ment was to drag ayounger boy, who was
asleep, from a state room, and carry him on
deck, while the cabin was last filing with
water. On the upper deck he saw two in
iants, which in the alarm and confusion had

ped himself of most of his clothing which he
wrapped around them, and took one under
each arm, and commenced breathing upon
their faces, alternately from one to the other.
He staid upon the deck with other Of the
passengers until taken off by one Of the boats
from this city, with his infants still under bis
arms, alive and well, and he still engaged in
in frequently breathing upon their faces

MARRIAGE.-- | never knew a marriage
expressly for money that did not end unhap-
PLY. Yet managing mothers and heartless
daughters are continually playing the same
nnlucky game. | believe that more men
frequently marry for love than women. be-
cause they have a free choice. am afraid to
conjecture how large a portion of women
marry, because they think tsey will not have
a better chance, and a dread being depen-
dent. Such marriages, no doubt, sometimes
D owe tolerably comfortable, but a greater
number would have been far happier single.
If / ayjudge by nay observation of such
matters, marrying for a home is a most tire

OUTRAGE NEAR NORFOLK There has
been an Infamous outrage perpetrated on the
Portsmouth and Roanoke railroad. Under
cover Of a lien upon a portion of the road,
held by a man deeply interested in the
Petersburg line, a strong force Of blacks,
headed by a white man, commenced tearing
up the rails from a portion of the road lying
in North. Carolina. They demolished some
miles of the road. When the news reached
Portsmouth and Norfolk a strong force went
down to interfere. An engine and car were
off a bank. After much trouble the
difficulty was terminated by arresting the
principle aggressor.
Gov. Thomas, of Maryland, has been COM
PEELED to give security in $500, to keep the
peace. He had threatened DR.. Tyler with
violence. Their difficulties grew out of the
unhappy enlargement between the Cover
nor and his young wife. It is rather a novel
idea that of holding the chief magistrate Of a
to bail TO keep the peace!
