Cairo Items.

CAIRO, ILL. Jan. 25. 1856.

- CAIRO ILL, Jan. rs, 1856.
A triangular plug muss was prevented in
town the other day simply by an explanation.
Two men quarrelled; one of them, terribly
incensed, drew his "revolter'' on the wrong
man. The latter, never averse to fight even
for thefun of the thing, "drew" also, and each
took deadly aim. At this juncture the right
man stepped in,similarly equipped, thus form
ing beiigcrent trio-each undetermined who
or how to shoot, or who might shoot him
Hesitation ensued-this gave time for explana-
tion-explanation followed and prevented a

duel
GA frame house belonging to negro Jim,
a slave owned in Mo-, caught fire here last
week and burned to the ground. Jim had
earned the money with which this house was
built, outside his slavery, and was years in the
accumulation of it. The loss reaches about
four hundred dollars, and it is supposed to be
the incendiarism of some wretch fastened here
by obstruction of The rivers, which created it.
o. Tom Woods wharf-boat, the "Hit or
Miss" sunk at our wharf last week, and bids
fair to prove a total loss. He has instituted
suit against the steamer ShotwelI, alledging
that she was the cause of the sinking He
lays his damages at $500. Toms fortune OF
late has been exceedingly tickle. Last year
he was principal owner of the large wharf-boat
Patrick Henry. This boat sunk-loss 5000,
A large lot of fine Liquors owned by him was
saved from the wreck, which, five months az
forwards, was consumed by fire in which
your humble servant had an interest. Loss to
him in this case, about twelve hundred dollars
Previously, he was the owner of handsome
boat fitted up as saloon and boarding house,
which sunk and was entirely destroyed. Loss
this time about four hundred dollars. Last
August, during fire in the place, what little
he had left was diminished by stealing, the
residue damaged by rough handling. Now, at
the very onset of business again, he meets a
disaster which well-nigh strips him Of his last
farthing. Were he an apt speculator these
losses would he less disheartening, but having
secured his all by labor at night as well as day,
they are almost overwhelming.

A New PAPER.--Lem Faxon and Ed. Will
lett, the latter lawyer, the former Clarks-
william, have commenced the publication Of a
weekly paper in Cairo, yclept the "Times

Cairo interests pro'essedly Democratic but eff
lectually, and think very sensibly, neutral in
politics. Their success already exceeds my
former expectations concerning the enterprise
and if it eventually comes up to their own,
shall remain as now-by no means surprised
at anything in Cairo life. They are both good
writers-in fact write the prettiest kind of

A statement having recently been put forth
that gold bullion containing five per cent. alloy
had been passed. through the Mint, and MISC
through the assay office in New York without de-
ten,lon, Mr. Snowden, the director of the Phila-
delphia Mint, publishes card denying that any
such experiment has been made. and nsinuating
that no metallic compound can resist the tests us
ed in our min,ing establishments. reioinder
from the parties making tho statements re asserts
the fact, and it is pertinenty asked how. seeing
that the experiment made upon the Mint,
without the authorities knowing anything about
it, they are prepared 10 make denial of n thing
Of which they had no cognizance! The secret pro-
by which this startling result can be accom-
plished is said to have been discovered in France
and communicated to parties here few months
since, and it is claimed for it that gold bullion a.
dulterated as high even as ten per cont will re-
sist the chemical tos,s now in vogue at the assay
office. There is naturally good deal Of skepti-
cism in matter of such great Importance as
this. but the assertion is made by parties whose
word is said to be entitled to full measure of
respect.
