FATAL observation-disclosures have becn re-

said to have occurred between two students in
Lexington last Sunday. The parties, we under
stand, were c. b. CHRISTIAN, of Amherst, a stu.
dent in Judge Brokenborough's law School, and
THos. BLACKBURN, of jefferson county. a Cadet
at the Military Institute.
The circumstances of the tragedy, we are in
formed, were as follows: A difficulty or misun-
Outstanding, having existed between the parties
mentioned, they met at Church, where a fsticuir
fight took place, in which CHRISTIAN was thrown
to the ground with his adversary upon him. In
this position CHRISTIAN drew n knife and stabbed
BLAcKsURN in the neck, killing him almost in
stantly. Other particulars preiudicial to one of
the parties, have been received; but as they want
confirmation, we abstain from giving them.

The public will read with painful interest the
thrilling and distressing details of the destruction
of the San Francisco, and the loss of SO many
lives. Imagination falls short of full concep-
ton of the horrors that surrounded the tenants of
that floating prson-house, as they batted against
adversaries mighter far than man--the tossing
and merciless main, and the not less mighty or
merciless tempest. The ocean, the air fire, pes
thence and famine, each in its turn, seemed TO
claim them its prey-and that any should
have passed safely through SO fearful combina-
ton of destroyers seems hardly less than mi
racle.
