ARRAY at Fort Smith.

A correspondent of the Gazette & Dem
ocrat gives the following particulars of an
affray at Fort Smith, on the 4th inst, in
which teamster by the name of Doyle was
killed
A number of the men employed to drive
teams for government, became spiritually
elated in the course of the morning. They
got into a quarrel, in front of. Capt. Ro-
gers Hotel, with man from the Cherokee
nation, when the city authorities, as well
as some of the citizens, promptly intcrfered,
and the principal offender was arrested, and
taken to the city Jail, and every thing was
about to resume its wonted qnietude, when
the wagon-master of the train was seen run
Mug about in search of the rest of the
teamsters, and threatening to rescue ''bis
manor tear down the clock up burn
up the town." &c. This Of course created
some little excitement and apprehension
The Mayor ordered the City Constable to
place guard at the Jail, which he did A
number of the citizens took their guns and
went to the Jail for the purpose of protecting
the officers III enforcing the law About
two O'Clock, one or two of our very promi-
nent citizens, thinking it were better to dis
charge the prisoner, and thus perhaps pre-
vent a riot. or at least an attempt to rescue
him, prevailed on the Mayor to discharge
him. and rendered themselves as security
for his good behavior, appearance, &c, and
he was discharged. In about an hour after
being turned loose. he and two others arm
ed with clubs (he with a revolver) came
marching down to the ST. Charles Hotel
where great number of persons were as
sembled, where they managed to provoke a
fight, which resulted in the death of DOYLE
(the man who had been in jail,) and in get
ting the other two a good beating.
Doyle had shot at Mr. Walton twice, and
was in the act of shooting the third time,
when he was shot down by some one Of the
bystanders, or some one engaged in the me-
lee. lie died almost instantly This is a
! plain statement of she facts, both from my
! own observation. and from the information
Of Others who were present and will, I
! hope place the unfortunate occurrenecin its
/ true light and prevent misrepresentation.
