FATA1, esterday evening, a

FATAL AFFRAY.-Yesterda evening, a
short time after nightfall. our usual quiet
city was thrown into great excitement by
the report of a pistol, and a flying rumor
imrp eeiately thereafter that man was
killed. A general stampede from all di-
rec,iens soon collected large crowd at
the place where the fatal deed was COM
mitted. Some fifty feetin the rear of the
Caddo Exchange, Nathan L. Lark was
found dead A Jury of Inquest was
called together and the following facts
elected;
Henry Vines and the deceased entered
the Exchange, speaking IN low tone.
Turk was hear to say te Vines TO keep
away from him; that he oid not wish to
have anything to do with him. Said he
'Henry you are stronger man than
am, but you shsn't whip me" II Will
whip you, you coward replied Vines at
the same time receding two PAGES, with
his hand under his coa-tail. Vines then
drew a pistol, and Turk drew one about
the same time, and snapped it at Vines.
and lodged under the table. when vines
snapped at Turk, who then threw his
pistol at Vines and ran out the back door.
Vines threw his pistol at Turk which
struck him as he was clearing the door,
and discharged itself, the contents taking
effect on the left side of the back; the
ball ranging upwards, passed through the
heart aud lod ged under the skin near the
throat and back of the right collar-bone.
Turk ran some fifty feet and expired.
1t was in evidence that the fatal pistol
was thrown a distance of twenty feet
From the wound, and the marks of pow
der, it was evident that the muZz:e, when
the pistol exploded, was in contigulty
with the deceased. Now, how the killing
actually happened is a matter OF specula-
ton and wonder. Without attemptingt to
account for it, we venture the opinion,
that similar circumstance never hap
pened before ard never will occur again.
Vines made his escape. without any Ell
fort being made to arrest him
Since writing the above, we have
learled that Turk, some years ago, killed
a man in Missouri He fled from justice,
and has since been roaming and gambling
for livelihood He is the last of the
family--his progenitor and three brothers
having fallen by the hands of Violence
Surely strange fatality broods over the
destiny of some families. Turk was re-
markably we'll formed, regularly featured,
and stood six feet seven inches.

where the owner treated them Hospitality
with supper and lodgings. when the in
human wretcLes turned to and robbed
and murdered the whole family, men,
women and children. But the people at

them, and tied them up and shot them on
the spot.

The detailed advices received by the
NIAGARA confirm the forebodlngs which
,,rnvious accounts engendered, that the
s,r,vers of those who invoked the Cossack

had been heard The history OF the last
weeks of the struggle in Hungary is
n,;nful record of sacrifices and suferings,
,af daring and despair. The suddenness
,o9 the transition from hope to dismay,
which the Hungarian cause seemed TO
undergo, induced many to fear that trea-
con had entered the camp OF the lnsur-

But there should be stronger proof OF de-

Tn casting a hurried glance over the
events which led to the issue OF the Hun

s,.;nfnI conviction, that though 1t was not
owing to the individual treason OF any OF
.he GREAT actors upon the immediate scene
,of strife. the curtain fell upon sad and
,s;ckenino catastrophe-the plot of the

for the Rcpublic() of France to set the
example of striking the first blow against
those who, inspired by her success, sought
To achieve the liberties she professed TO
a,;ov It was the intervention OF France
in the Italian revolution which seemed
TO Justify, if it did net excite, the ahter-
1,osition of Russia between the Hungari-
ans and liberty. If republican France

Bourbons. could not tolerate republic

wav to European enfranchlsement was
first to smite the worshippers at the shrine
she had erected, and by so doing drew
down upon Tic iCPuo'tS "hS " ON"~' -N
rome a coalition of hereditary despots.
The circumstance under which Presi-

This distinguished statesman arrived i'll

evening, having left Albany at 2 O'Clock
P. M. He came from the latter place
direct from Lindenwald, whittier he had
been on visit to ex-President Van Bu.
ren He remained bat brief time at
Albany, bat, uring his stay, was greeted
by the warmest demonstrations OF respect
and affection fom the people OF that city.
He was received at Greenbush by an i'm
mense throng, who manifested, according
to the Atlas the "Wildest enthusiasm Ill
their reception of their honored guest
The journey from Albany to Utica was,
throughout the whole distance, trlum-
phal progress. At Schenectady, the
greeting was in the highest degree earnest
and cordial. At Amsterdam, Fort Plain,
and other stations in Montgomery county,
the enthusiasm of the people was un-
bounded In Herkimer county the feel
ing was unbounded. So great was the
assembly gathered at the Little Falls sta
ton. that ingress aud egress from the cars
were wholly cut of, and the committee
from that place, (headed by Hon. IL. L.
Aexander,) which had gone TO meet MIR
Clay at ST. townsville, were unable to
laad, and were compelled, per force, to
90 on to Utica. At Herkimer, the en-
thusiasm was, if possible, wrought to a
still higher pitch. Bonires were in the
streets, and the cheers of the multitude
were almost deafening, when, in response
to their call, Mr.. Clay appeared and con.
graduated the people upon their success
in "enlighlening Old Herkimer."
He arrived at Utica at about eight o.
clock. where mighty multitude had been
for some time awaiting his arrival. He
was received with cheers and tine firing
of artillery. Mr.. Clay landed in compa-

The weather being unfavorable, and his
health not yet entirely ze-established, he
proceeded at once to the house of Mr..
HolIister, on Broad street, and secn after
retired for the night. A large body of
people, accompanied 10y a band of music,
went to pay him visit at ten o'clock,
and were addressed by Mr.. Hollister, who
agoIogized for his guest, and promised
