We are still geographically cut off from all COM
municatisn with New York, caused by grand
combat between natural and artificial lightning;
in which the latter, though armed with an album
dance long poles. came of second best.
Another fatal ARRAY occurred on Sa urday last,
among the "upper ten thousand of St. Mary's
county. 1t appears that fracas occurred be-
tween VIM. II. Dunglin son, Esq, formerly a
member of the Legislature, and James B Kirk,
Nelson Kirk, Philip Chandler, and DR.. Jas Mel
son, IN winch the four were cndeavorng to force
Mr. Dunglinson to marry a near relative of the
Kinks, whose appearance gave certain indca-
tons OF not virtuous character, and whom they
charged Mr.. ID with having seduced from the
paths of rectitude. The charge was positively
denied, and the demand refused, when, with per-
feet Charles county chivalry," the parties placed
themselves in a belligerent attitude, and James
B. Kirk rushed on Dunginson with Bowie knife
in hand, and ripped him up from the groin to the
kidneys. This is the second act Of bravery COM
mitted by the young bloods of Charles county
within a year; being about match to the first
head of a man old enough to be his grandfather,
and actually brought his courage up to the point
OF facing him to make his ball enter the back
part of his head. The fact is that Charles county

The 18th Of September will be one of the most
famous holidays that Baltimore has had for wears
past. We are to have general parade of the
militia of Maryland, with broomstck and corn
stalk guns, and an effort will be made by some of
the knowing ones to defeat the law, by making
such noise when the roll is called that no one
can hear their name, and consequently that no
one can be fined for non attendance. There will
be some fine sport, no doubt, but if every one
will turn out and answer to their names, and
leave fines to pay for champaign frolics for the
officers, my word for it the ridiculous bombast
will never be Tept .ted. The fact is, that an Ame-
rican citizen can learn military tactics in twenty
would take him ten years TO learn the first rudi-
ments in n militia parade.
The little boy whom mentioned in my last as
having been scalded, son of Henry ]. Rogers
Telegraph Office, and one of the inventors of the
Semaphoric Telegraph, died at IL O'Clock yester-
day, from the effects of his injuries. He only
four years ofage.
Peaches in the Baltimore market are almost
"dirt cheap" They could be bought yesterday
at prices ranging from six and qurter to twenty
five cents per peck.
