FROM the Richmond Compiler.
We would have wished to pass over in silence the
distressing event which occurred near our city on
Wednesday morning, and has filled our community
with sadness. But, exaggerated reports would
doubtless find their way into journals at distance,
we deem it proper to state, simply, that personal
rencountre took place, the Manchester side of the
river, between JOHN HAMPDEN PLEAsANrs and Mr..
THOMAS RTCHE, jr. The former received five
wounds, viz: in his arm, shoulder upper part of the
left breast left hand and upper and inner part of the
thy-of which the last two most serious. Mr..
Richie was not seriously hurt. Mr.. Peasants has
since died.

tves few days ago, well worth reading, MIR. Chas.
j. Ingersoll and MIR. Mr.. John Quincy Adams, as
generally known, have been anything but warm per-
sonal friends for years past. The other day, how
ever, Mr.. Ingersoll was seen at Mr.. Adams desk,
and the two venerable gentlemen were converslng
together in the most courteous and friendly manner
After Mr. Ingersoll had repaired to his own seat,
Member observed to Mr.. Adams that be had been
pleased in witnessing the meeting between Plate

the remark and then observed that just before the
downfall of Mark Anthony, Cicero made friends with
several of the Roman Tribunes with whom he had
been on terms of bitter enemity for years. His
friends charged him with Inconsistency Where
upon Cicero replied, 81 desire that my enmities may
be temporary; my Friendship eternal"

At the time there were men in the building, Herr
