Death by shooting.--Two young Germans,
named, respectively, Christian Glantz and Henry
Glantz, brothers, were out cunning, near Bladens-
burg, Maryland, yesterday morning, and, on being
demonstrated with by Edward w. DuvaIl, resi-
dent on the premises, as 10 the improperly and
danger Of their pursuit, an alteration ensued be-
tween parties, when one Of the young men DELHI
erately shot Mr. Duvall, who, in the course of the
day died from the effects Of the wound. The
Germans were arrested in this city, yesterday
afternoon, by officer Tins, Of Washington, and
officer q. w. Newman, of Badensburg. They
were found in lsger-beer house. On being
arraigned before Justice Dom, they stated that
they committed the act in selfdefence. They
were committed TO jail for further examination.

Odd Fellows, especially, for relief. He processes
TO hail from the south, but, as he does not uni
ormly tell the same story, the exact locality is not
determined. Recently, he paid his respects to
several members Of the Methodist church, claim
ing to be a minister Of that denomination, and
from them, as from others, received pecuniary as
sistance. But his narratives are so contradictory,
and his conduct so inconsistent, that he now gains
but little favor, and is properly regarded with sus-
picion. II he is minister Of the gospel he has
ideas peculiar to himself regarding the sacred Of
fee, and Is not likely TO make many converts to
his creed in this part Of the country at least. On
Friday night he was brought to the v aichhouse by
officer Handy, for having created disturbance,
by fighting with a negro Yesterday morning he
gave nominal bail for his good behavior, and was
released, stating that he intended 70 leave the city
forthwith for the south. He, and all others like
him can be spared.

For years pas. these disasters have

more extensive popularity. It has all
the warmth Of coloring. tenderness,
pathos, aud what is peculiar to this
author, in common with Walter Scott
and Dickens, that striking ability Of
marking and individualizing certain
characters, SO that meet them under
what disguise you may, we always
know them, and painted, with mas
ter hand, each excites its emotions Of
love and fear. But the Secretary"
far exceeds the strength Of plot and
the tragic power with which the in
fernal schemes is laid, which makes
up the sum Of "Circumstautial Eyi-
dence,' which is brought to prove the
guilt and condemn to telon's death

story. The imbecility Of the Earl,

RELATIONS WlTH SPAIN.--The
Washington Union, Of the 18th has
an article on the Black Warrior case,
in which it states that special mes
senger was despatched on that day by
the Attic. with instructions to our
Minister at Madrid to demand, in
emphatic terms immediate and ample
reparation from Spain for the outrage
committed by the authorities of Cuba
in the instance of the Black Warrior"
The demand is not confined to the
simple question Of atonement for the
wrong to this ship but requires per
emptorialy a change in our rules of
intercourse with Cuba. The Union
says:
We shall impaticntly await, in COM
mon with evrry American citizen,
the answer which will be given by
the Spanish Ministry to this demand.
II it be favorable and prompt, and if
Spain shall consent within a reason
able time to our opening diplomatic
relations with the Captain General Of
Cuba for the adjustment Of any ques-
ton which may hereafter arise in our
intercourse with that island, then there
will be no disposition on the part Of
the United States to disturb the peace
which exists between the two nations.
But if any hesitation is manifested by
the Cabinet of Madrid to disayow the
outrageous procedure against our Gag
aud the property Of our citizens, and
it the contingencies be not removed by
which similar occurrences may be oc-
casioned, we shall advocate the en-
ploying Of all the power which the
Government can command in support
of orr rights and interests in Cuba.
The contingency Of a resort to
strong measures, is put upon the hes
itation' Of Spain, to accede to both
demands, reputation for this wrong,
and provision against the recurrence
of similar injuries. The hesitation"
may be set down certain, if it be
not superseded by fiat REFUSAL
Neither application will be complied
with. Delay will be courted prepar-
atory to the denial Of justice, and to
gain time for events to work out ia
tai course in Cuba for American in.
terests. We hope our Government
will not be guIled by such devices.
but will stand up to the spirit of the
above declaration, that hesitation
shall be treated as refusal, and the
Congress will prepare the authority
md the means, and prescribe the pol
cy to be persued in the event Of the
certain fallure.to get what we have
'ent to demand. --Picayuue.

MONEY PRESSURE IN BALTIMORE
The Baltimore American of the 18th
inst, in It's money article says
a considerable degree Of pressure
has existed in the Money Market
during the past week. The very ex-
tensive operation that have Leen taking
place for some time past in Stocks,
Breadstufs, Provisiaus, &c, have oc-
casioned an active demand for Money
and although our banking institutions
are discoun'ing as freely as is compat-
lble with their safety, yet they are
unable to supply the wants of the bu-
slness community, and consequently
large quantities Of paper are thrown
upon the street for discount. For
several days past we understand that
Money has been very tight on the
street, and we hear to-day that first
class endorsed paper is selling at 10
to II per cent.
