Fatal ARRAY.

Two young men. named Joseph Renfro
and Hiram Barney, engaged in d Stephens
Paint Shop, in this city, got into difficulty
yesterday morning, which resulted in the
death OF the former. II seems that young
Renfro quarreled with the other abou, their
work and chased him into another room
with club. The latter being afraid Of him
fastened the door, wLereupon Renfro beat
it open and renewed his attack, the latter
wa'ding off the blows with another club
which he had picked up. During the con-
test Renf'o received a heavy blow some
where on the head. He Immediately
started for home and succeeded in getting
there but died in few minutes afterw ards

The IMMIGRANT Question

We take the following paragraph from a
"Trae, for the Times" entitled National
Hospitality" written By the Rev. w. H.
Lord. 1t refers to subject of much i'm
portancs, and one which, az the writer states.
should be considered with calmness and
acted upon with discretion;
"Ths questions arising out of the great
influx Of foreign population to our land are
Of sufficient moral, socisl and religious con-
sequence to demand the most careful inves-
tigation and the utmost eandor in discussion.
They present subjects for consideration af-
secting our political interests through the
entire future Of OUT history; and are TO be
settled By neither defamation nor passion,
but with the ealmest and most dispassionaie
reasoning from those profound principles
which are the germs and vital forces Of
motional existence and growth. The posi-
ton from which We should regard them
would we reach their solution, must beIhigh
above the arena Of party confusion or Fli-
gioss and sectsrian warfare. We must
lock At them in the light Of the past I; in
the light Of hose general laws which have
ever nodded and controlled the social and
political forms and movements of our race.
We must look at them as matters whose
decision is TO affect the future more than
the present; the countless millions Of our
posterity more than ourselves; and the en-
tire civilization Of the world more than the
interests OF any party, religious sect or ma
uonal government. They are not questions
ofpreferment. or Office or expediency, but
OF history and philosoph y and human pro-
gress; not local and sectional but general
and universal. Nor are they new and pc
culiar to our politics for they have been
discussed and settled practically at least in
almost every form of government to which
she progress and wants Of man have given
birth"

ONO RIvER-Ws take from the Cincn-
natl Times Of the 3lst ult., the following
items in regard to tho river and trade ., that
point -
THE river fell about IS inches between u
O'Clock N. yesterday, and the same hour TO-
day. There is now less than six feet water
in the channel above.
We report business still less active
There are about dozen boats at the wharf,
but not freight enough for one-fourth the
number is offered. The principle of "frs,
come, first served" seems to have been adop-
ted By the steamboatmen. an evidence Of
an accommodating spirit, pleasantly com
mendable.
All,he large Pitt.burg packets are with
drawn from the trade, and have gone into
summer quarters. A number of the south
ern trade boats have alsoi laid up. As those
now down the river arrive and discharge
their cargoes, they will probably retire from
sheer inability to navigate the shallow wa.
tiers Of the Ohio"
