SCANDAL.

The New Orleans Picayune, whose editors.
we presume, are Benedicts all, neglects no op
portunity of pouring a broadside into that
unhappy class Of persons known as sold Bach
elors." We hope it may not be deemed amiss
to mention, that one of then. at least, was in
the same category, himself, not a thousand
years ago. Nor may it be altogether out of
the way to say, that some of his brethren
would not be slow to follow his example, pro-
vided they could find lady rich, intelligent,
beautiful, and sweet-tempered, with no poor
kin, and no incumbrance of any kind whatever.
1t might be added, that good-natured friend
to do the counting, would be another indis-
pensable requisite for though they may or
der things differently in New Orleans, in this
part of the world bachelors are the most diff
dent Of all created beings, and, when they
happen to fall into the company of ladies, re-
semble nothing SO much as thief who has
been detected in the act of robbing hem
roost. There are few of them who can screw
their courage to the sticking point-to the
point of putting the awful question; SO that
whatever is done, must be done after the fash
ion Of royal and imperial wooers-by proxy
There may be an exception, when the lady
may be SO kind as to come four.fifths of the
way-for less distance would not do-.but
we presume these cases are exceedingly rare.
The scandal which the Picayune has re.
tailed on this occasion is to the effect, that an
old bachelor having lost a small bet to Young
lady, and having heard her say thai she was
considerably annoyed at the less of costly
laced veil, determined to replace i,-that he
went 70 the shop Of a French milliner, and en-
CURED Tor the most costly article Of that de
scr'ption--that the modiste showed him one
whose price she rated at 6fty-,hat he rejected
it as too cheap and was shown another ., sey.
enty-Gvs-that he pronounced that also too
cheap, and was told that il was The dearest in
the shop-that therenpon he pulled out a dol.
lar note, and told the lsdy's fashioner TO give
MN the change-that she replied tina, he still
owed her seyenty-four dollars-ihat disco
ing ihss the Ipilliner was talking of dollars
while ne was dreaming Of cents, he left The
snop " hurry, and has never vensured into
me soe,siy Of the ladies' since.
we will subscribe one dollar to fund. a
De employed AZ lee for some lawyer 10 pros
ecuie the Picayune for defamation. and -

A DESPERATE AFFRAY.-A gentleman who
arrived in the stage from Danvilleson Saturday
night, gives us the particulars of a terrible ef.
fray which occurred in that town on Friday,
between Joseph Shelby and Alfred Shelby on
one part, and Frank Cowan on the other. The
difficulty originated from an anonymous lettes
written TO Mics Shelby young lady andsis.
ter the Sheihys, who reside in Lincoln coun-
ty. Cowan was charged with being the au.
thor Of it, and wrote a letter TO Miss Shell
by denying it. The charge was persisted in,
and the brothers Shelby threatened to eowhide
Cowen.
On Friday Cowan passed Joseph Shelby
standing in the street of Danville, and as he
came up to him Shelby pronounced Cowan "a
coward, d. coward" Cowan replied that
he sought no difficulty and passed on After
having gone few PAGES, he looked hack and
saw Shelby draw pistol. Cowan immediate
ly turned around and also drew a pistol.
Shelby had FIVE barreled revolver and fred

ing effect in the fieshy part Of Cowan's thigh.
The third Gre from Cowan took effect on Shelby
the ball passing in on one side of his neck and
out on the other, lodging in his shirt. Shelby
staggered in a store where his brother Alfred
was. and fell. The latter then seized bowie
knife, advanced on Cowan, and threw ii at him
without effect. Cowan then pursued Alfred
with bowie knife in hand, when several per-
sons interfered. and no further harm was done.
The parties are all young men.-Louisrille
