PHILADELPHIA June 10, lsi5
Just after the mail had closed yesterday city
visited by storm of wind and rain accompanied by very
heavy thunder, which, while it soaked the ground and
cooled the atmosphere did damage to the houses,
and fences the northern part of the city Several
buildings were blown down, number unrooed and one
two chimnies knocked down by tightening but per-
son. that can learn, injured The afternoon and
evening, after the storm, pleasant. We had some
rain in tho of the night and to-day though is hot
and sulty yet protected from the direct rays Of
the by Clouds and there is every indication of
moro welcome moisture. ~
The duel alluded to in yesterdays letter became
known fully after the mailed had closed. It
fought OF Naamans Creek, the Delaware line with
pistols, between Washington Keith and Morris Ogden
Meredith brother OF the eminent lawyer Of this city of
that The parties exchanged shots and at the first
fire Meredith fell wounded, it was thought yesterday,
dangerously in the hip. The wounded man, it is said,
was the challenger, and the difficulty from
alterations shipboard when they both return
ing from Canton some time since supercargoes The
caI,sus bell originated with Keith who made necessary
il sad for the other party to challenge but of this
am not certain. He has left the city.
Il seems az our citizens have become quite belger-
ent under the late rumors OF war; and by way of be-
ginning of them dsposedto let out little of
young Randall and Sey, the gentleman with whom he
to have had meeting time since. at Naamans
have slipped their mothers apron strings and egan
OF to have crack at each other Whether this rumor
be true not shall probably know by this evening
forgot to mention yesterday that the remen's riot in
Spring had been quicted and the law had begun
to lay its hand upon the offenders. About fifteen
of the most notorious have been committed to prison
answer and if the courage of others like offending does
not cool BY these proceedings will not be the fault of
officers of the law.
Your paper this morning speaks of the contemplated
military parade Of the ih of July resolved upon, and
likely to exhibit the strength of military This
requires correction The parade is only contemplated ,
the artillery regiment is the only that has yet
solved to join in it and of this regiment two companies,
of which the strongest, will not participate At
least they contemplate being away from the city at the
time, but may change their mind. do not think the
other companies will turn out their full force the pa
rade will not be fair test Of the strength of military
