On yesterday, in Buena Vista, Wm Therman,
N. Wheeler, John Marlborough, and Bob Mccoy.
went to the house of Samuel H. Cooper for the
purpose oil raising row with Stephen S. Runnels,
who was, at the time, in Coopers house, but Coop.
er was across the street, opposite the house. in the
grocery. Runnes got up aud walked out in the
piazza, when Therman drew FIVE shooter aud fired
at him. Runnels then returned the fire without
effect upon either party. John Marlborough next
shot Runnels from behind, which shot killed him
he only lived three hours. Runnels then shot
Marlborough in the thigh, and the next fire he shot
Wheeler, breaking bis arm; during which time
Therman was beating Runnels over the head with
pistol.
Runnes then drew another pistol when Their.
retreated, but not in time to save himself for
Runnels shot him just above the hip. | heard to-
day that Therman dead, and | reckon it is 90
During the tight, Cooper ran over and exchanged
several shots the side of Runnels and wounded
some Of the party. Mrs. Cooper was in the fight
also, charging around aud would doubtless have
done execution, had the parties retreated Ste.
phen Runnels fought like soldier to he last he
never fell at all, but made all OF the opposite party
retreat after he MORALLY wounded | saw him
die-he bid me affectionate farewell aud was
not heard to sigh or grOan, because he was too man
ly. The Wheelers and their company are now in

against him. They are here to-day, drinking and
swearing arolnd.

the above.

The Shreveport Gazette, of Saturday March
LIST, says:
Some persons are apprehensive of an over
flow in Red River in a short time. The
planters on our capricious stream have for
several years enjoyed an exemption from such
u curse.
The receipts of cotton at this point have
not been SD large for the last week or two;
owing we presume, to the almost impossible
condition of the roads,
The planters in this region have been very
much set back by the rain and cold The
season is backward, and very little has yet
been done.
Last week, Mr.. W. W. Deloach, late of the
parish of DeSoto, cut his throat horribly with
u razor, with the intention of committing sui
eide. He was stopping at the time at the boar

The Paris Constitutional in an article upon the
differences between England and the United States,
signed by the principal edtor-the usual form,
when il is wished to be understood that the publ
cation has sem-oficial characteristics:
al the United States are determined to be war.
like, they will find that Eot only England, but
France also, will be opposed to them The Cabinets
OF Europe can view with Indifference the
danger with which the American Government
threatened the independence of the weak powers
and the peace of all the world. 1t is in vain for
the United States to imagine that America belongs
to them exclusively, and that Europe has no BUSH
ness whatever to intermeddle in the affairs of the
American Continent. The doctrine, proclaimed
and accepted by some of their statesmen is utterly
untensble. The affairs of America are the affairs
of the whole wOrld-of England, of France, of
Spain, OF HOand-because they have both COM
mercia and political interests to defend numerous
Colonies to protect, direct and ndisputable right
of interference.
The Anglo French alliance will
survive the war in the Crimea The United States
ought to know this, and be more modest, or at
least more moderate in their bearing towards Eng
land and the rest of Europe"
