AFTRATs.-We learn from the Shreveport
(La.) Southwestern, that on the 29th ult, while
the steamboat r. M. Jones was lying at the
mouth of Black Bayou, difficulty occurred be-
tween Mr.. Hornish, an engineer, and Mr.. P.
Kaiser, pilot, which resulted in the death Of
the latter. The Southwestern says:
1t appears that Hornish was asleep in the
Texas, and that Kaiser woke him up and COM
menced curSing and abusing him, when Hornish
Knocked the former out Of the room, and that he
(kaiser) fell over the skylight and broke his
neck. On the arrival Of the Jones at this port,
Hornish surrendered himself to the authorities,
and was admitted to bail in the sum Of $500.
The Southwestern also has the following:
An ARRAY occurred on Sunday night, in front
oil the Smile cofee-house, between S. c, Brooks
ana John JAMES, during which the latter was
shot and the former received ten or fifteen stabs
from bowie knife. The physicians did no,
expect Brooks would live to see morning
James is in Jail; his wound is not serious.
