~ The Fayetteville Argus and other federal pa

favorite expression-that he is of the " common

or two since, when Gov. Reid bought in the Raleigh
market and carried home article for domestic
use, the arstocratc Register seriously offended,

pie assumed plainness in Gen. Dockery is COM
mendable-real Planness in GOV. Reid was ridiculed

intelligent to be deceived in this way.

~ President Pierce, in his message relating to
the Black Warrior affair, refers among other things
to the adoption of policy by Spain threaten
ing the honor and security of these States" This
reference is, no doubt to the arrangement which it
is supposed is on foot, and to which England and
France are said to be parties, to cmancipate the
slaves in the island of Cuba: The notice taken of
it by the President affords strong proof that such an
arrangement has either been matured or is in pro
gress.

AFrRAY BETWEEN TWO EDITORS. - New
York, july 10. A personal rencoutre took
place Yesterday between Mr.. Thos f. Meagh-
er of the Citizen and ]. A. McMaster of the
Fyeegans Journal. The difficulty had its or
igin in an editorial article which appeared in
the Freemaa's Journal of last week, rejecting
severely upon Mr.. Meagher, and accusing
him of cowardice and Of breach Of his pa
role in Van Dieman's Land. 1t created
great sensation among Mr.. Meagher' S friends,
and that gentleman repaired in person to Mr..
MeMaster's Office to request the refractien OF
the offensive passage, No satisfaction was
offered and failing to obtain any modification
Or retraction, after requesting it with ciyllity,
Mr.. Meagher, left the office of the Freen1GnS
Journal, and returned to his lodgings, where
he remained for some hours. AT later Pc
Rod of the afternoon, while walking near Mr..
McMaster's residence in 9th street, near LIST
avenue, the parties again met. Mr.. Meagher
approached Mr.. McMaster with small riding
whip, and struck him severely and repeatedly.
Mr.. McMaster, who was armed with a re-
volver, pulled it out of his breast, and fired at
Mr.. Maagher, the ball grazing the forehead
and eyebrow, and the powder discoloring his
face. McMaster after filming, attempted an
other shot, but before he had succeeded, Mr..
Meagher wrenched the pistol from his grasp,
together with loaded cane, with which
McMaster was also provided. The combat
ants then clinched, and Mr.. Meagher succeed
ed in throwing his antagonist to the ground,
where he lay bleeding and painting until the
| police came up. McMaster' sinjuries are sup
posed to be severe. At the conclusion OF the
affray, Mr.. Meagher went in search of po-
liceman, and desired that both himself and
Mr.. McMaster should be taken into custody.
They were therefore arrested and carried be-
fore Judge Wood, and were bound over TO
keep the peace in the sum OF $500 each.

A WONDERFUL EscAPE.-A correspondent
of the Union Herald, says that in Watervilie,
N. Y, as the Waterville Artillery were re-
turning from Hamilton, where they had been
to assist in the celebration of the day previous,
the magazine upon which two men were sit
ting, and which was drawn by four horses,
was ignited by the friction of some gun caps
which had been carelessly left in it, and about
fifteen pounds of powder exploded with a
loud report, filling the air for many feet around
with buffalo robes, cushions, and fragments of
the wagon -
"There was so much smoke that it was i'm
possible to see what became of the unlucky
occupants of the seat; but as it cleared away,
we discovered one of them getting up from
the ground, and the other half mile distant,
astride one of the wheel horses, his clothes on
fire in many places, and exhibiting the tallest
specimen of flying artillery we ever saw. 1t
appeared upon inquiry that the driver was
blown up tho length of the reins, falling back
on the pole to the gun, and afterwards getting
on one of the horses, he succeeded in stopping
them. But the most remarkable of all, no.
body was seriously injured, although one of
them is somewhat stiff qa
The report of the explosion, though dull
and heavy, was heard for miles around. The
--s- - ~ !
ground, expressed regret " that his associate
should have parted from him so uncerimoni-
ously; he had no time to bid him good bye'

STREET PREACHING The violent street

in them also ceased and no one cared to hear
them. 1t was not to listen to ranting ia

The CHoLERA.-The deaths at St. Louis for
the week ending July 10th, were 500, great
mortality. The cholera has been unusually
fatal.
In New York, the mortality since the LIST of
january, is 2S per cent above that Of the cor
responding period of last year. The increase
OF population is estimated by the Commercial
AdUertiser, at 10 per cent.
The report of the city inspector for the past
week, shows 8l7 deaths, an increase of Sc on
the return for the previous week. Of the
whole number, 295 were infants aged less
than twelve months; 465-more than half
were under five years of age; and 299-more
than -third-were natives of foreign coun-
tries. The number of deaths by cholera was
147, by cholera morbus IL, by cholera infan
tum III, by diarrhaa Al, and by dysentery
20. The mortality by consumption, fevers,
and some other diseases, wasIess than usual.
There have been complaints of the treat
ment of the sick in the cholera hospitals.
and exaggerated reports have been circulated
Of the number of deaths. The authorities
have wisely determined upon daily reports in
future. which will allay any unnecessary ex-
element.
The Montreal Gazette of the 18th, gives the
following as the number of cholera cases and
deaths in that city for the days named. July
9th, 80 cases, ii deaths 6th 60 cases, Is
deaths; 9TH, 3S cases, 81 deaths 9Th, SO ca
ses. 10 deaths; 9th, 26 cases, deaths; 10th,
A cases, 20 deaths.
The Montreal Herald says there were SO
deaths in that city during the twenty-four
hours ending at noon on the 18th instant, of
which Sc were said to have been of cholera.

Loss OF THE FRANK11N.-A letter from
the captain of the Franklin, dated 6 o'clock,
Tuesday evening, says it has been blowing
rather hard, and that the steamer had forced
her way over the outer bar, and was within
thirty yards of the beach, with eight feet of
waterin her hold, and that there was strong
probability that she would soon bilge. The
Captain considers it impossible to save her, and
recommends that she be abandoned to the I'm
derwriters together with her remaining cargo.
The tugs arrived too late to be of any service,
and have returned to the city.
A heavy north east sea was making clear
breach over the Franklin, so that nothing
could be done for her relief. There appears
no reason to hope that she will be saved, or
that any considerable portion of her cargo will
be saved uninjured. Her cargo is the richest
ever shipped for this country, and cost over
$4,000, 900. leou

RAILROAD AccIDENT.-We regret to learn
that Mr.. Simpson C. Head, one of the con-
ductors of the Boston and Worcester Railroad,
was considerably injured by jumping from the
accommodation passenger train, yesterday af-
ternoon, between this city and Grafton. For
some cause or other, the express freight train
from Boston, which precedes Mr.. Heads
train from that city, was behind timer The en-
gineer of the passenger train, seeing the freight
train but short distance ahead, gave the
signal to apply the brakes. Mr.. Head, ever
on the alert, was Immediately upon the plat
form outside the car, and, seeing the other
train in such close proximity just ahead, and
without thinking that it was in motion, going
the same way as his own, concluded that
a collision must take place, and jumped from
the car. He fell heavily to the ground, and
was taken up senseless few minutes after,
but soon recovered, and, though consid-
erably bruised about the head, his injuries
are not considered dangerous. The prompt
application of the brakes to the hindmost
train prevented more than slight collision,
and the only other damage done,,was the
breakage of the cow-catcher upon the engine
& Of the passenger train.
