M Martin has given US some particulars OF an at
tray which occurred 2i Shrt-tail Bend, Miss f..
u. johnson, planter, gave party, at which Seth
Cox and lady, DR.. Gilbert, and many others, were
present. During the evening a son OF Mr.. j., who
had but lately returned from school, avowed his
intention TO kiss every lady present. Accordingly
he commenced by kissing Mrs. Cox Mr. g. be-
came angry at this, used harsh language towards
the young man, and slapped his face. This led to
general fight, Bowie knives were drawn, and
in the affair MIR. Cox, DR. Gilbert, and young Ohm
son, were dangerously wounded, and three or four
Others severely. DR.: Gilbert was cut IN the head,
ing Mr. cox's brother had intimatec that If his
brother recovered he would settle the difficulty.
