AssauIton Judge Robertson.

The n. o. Crescent of the 4'h inst. gives
the following account of a rencontre between
Judge J. B. Robertson and Mr. Daunoy-
Judge Robertson was on his way to court,
and at the corner of Chartres and Toulouse
streets, was met by Mr. Dauuoy, with whom
he had tire difficulty on the previous dav
Several other persons being with DAunov, the
latter asked the Judge to step aside, and the
request WAS complied with. Daunoy then
asked the Judge TO apologize for the indignity
lie put Gu him the day before. The Judge
positively refused to do SO. As 10 what fol-
lowed, reports differ The Judge asserts that
as soon as he refused to apologize, Daunoy
commenced beating him over the head and
shoulders with his cane; that, believing his
life to be in danger, be drew pistol, but be-
tore he had time to use it, it was wrested from
him by third party; that he attempted to
draw a dagger but before he succeeded Dau-
nOy had been taken off by interfering par
ties. Mr.. Daunoy, on the contrary, states,
that the Judge put his hand into his pocket to
draw a weapon simultaneously with his refusal
TO apologize and that he did not use his cane
upon him until he made the attempe 10 draw
the weapon. The Judge was not seriously in
jured by the blows he received. Mayor Lew
is subsequently went to lis room, and took
bis affidavit against DaunOy. warrant
was issued, and placed in the hands Of the
Chief of Police, and To that functionary Dau-
noy surrendered himself. He was taken before
the Mayor, who, alleging that the Judge was
mot out of danger" refused 10 take bail, and
sent him to prison. Affidavit was also made
before Justice Bradford, charging Judge Rob
ertson with as-aulting Daunoy with dangerous
weapons. and with carrying concealed wea-
pons, and a warrant was issued for lhis arres .
Since the foregoing was written, several cpl
sodes have, We understand, taken place There
was a little "brash" talking between the May
or and the friends and relatives of Mr.. Daunoy
a large and crowd had assembled, his Honor
was AS firm. or as obstinate as a street full of
mules; physicians certificate was preseeted,
or talked about, proc aiming Juge r. in no
danger at all, official and personal response
bility was freely canvassed; and finally, 50 the
the story goes, upon Constable Mitchell pre-
senting himself at Judge RS room, with a
warrant in bis pocket from Justice Bradford to
arrest him on charges of assault and with
carrying dangerous concealed weapons in con
travenrion of the law, peace and dignity Of the
State of Louisiana, his Honor of the First Dis
trict Court concluded 20 issue an order 10 the
Mayor to accept bail in: the case OF Mr. Dnunoy.

A NInnIY Sentiment.

The UaiOa and American quotes from
Mai. DoNELSoN, eve are not Of those who
follow blmdly in the footsteps Of another.
When question Of Importance arises, IRE er-
anime II fer ourselves; and, while we pay
much respect to the opinions of eminent
men, yet we accept their conclusions only
when we are convinced by their arguments.
1t is for boldly acting out this sentiment
that Major Donelson is receiving the
abuse of the Democratic press. He
examined for himself President PierceS
official acts, and found him false to the
sentiment which elevated him into Office.
He weighed the New Hampshire Brigadier,
and found him wanting when stripped of
his military gewgaws and toggery. IN
stead Of patriot, with broad national
views, he found him an official puppet--the
imbecile dupe of Freesoilers and Nulliers.
Instead of a statesman, he found HIM a
weak-minded, button-holing politician.
When the American party presented its
claims to public confidence, he examined
them for himself. He contraSted its prin
ciples and acts with those Of the party with
which he had once acted He satisfied
himself he would be doing patriotic service
to leave the one and support the other
He had the courage and the honesty to dc
so. For such conduct the hood-gatcS o.
abuse have been raised, and the stream
swept against MIN in all its fury. But il
is vain Like a rooted rock, he stand,
fixed and immoyable His fame will sur
! yiye the attacks upon it, and emerge tn,
! purer. The assaults of maleyolence anc
J and detraction are harmless when their ob
ject has sense Of duty done TO sustain
him The vipers Of SANDER bite file wher
| they abuse fair and honest character. s.
the deaouncers Of Maj. DoNgLsoN will Learn
when the people come to render verdict
between them.

GRAPE CUTTINGs.-The Cincinnati Daily Times
publishes the subjoined letter from Mr.. LOngworth
the great grape grower, which contains information
of some Importance to those who expect to procure
Catawba cuttings the present season from Cincin-
natl:
Editors Eveping Tnaes:-I have received mum.
erous letters respecting information as to the price
of Catawba grape cuttings and some enclosing
small sums to pay for them. | am under the Obli-
cations to several persons for grapes cuttings and
gratis; sent me by express andby mail, that might
test their quality as wine grapes. was anxious To
send them some in return. Where money was
sent, have returned it by mail. This leads me to
say. that our pleasant fall weather. in most loca.
tions brought forward the fruit buds aud our cold
winter which has never been eQualled, has, in my
opinion rendered our grape cuttings not worth the
cost of planting. In some locations there may be
exceptions, but they are few. In most cases
believe even the second bud is killed. | will give a
reason.
The HebermOnt and Marion Grape has always
been as hardy here as the Catawba. A bout five
weeks since my gardener, Mr.. Pentland planted
five hundred eyes of the Hebermont, and two hun
bred OF the Marion in pots in a hot bed Not
single bud, first or second, ever sprouted. OF the
Marion, about one eye in twenty OF the second eyes
started and grew an inch or more. But the wood
had not the necessary vigor, and not one lived. !
have examined the Catawba cuttings from several
Vineyards, and io1nd all the leading bJds dead.
OF the second small bud it is difficult to form an
opinion, aware that many hold different
opinion and that hundreds of thousands oil cuttings
have been sold and shipped abroad | shall be
pleased if the result proves that am wrong.

An Old Clay WING.

1t would be curious and interesting to
trace the history of some Of the old Clay
Wings whose political lucubrations Demo
cratic papers so delight to publish and COM
mend. Such an exercise would doubtless
show that many who have lately boldly
gone over to the enemy, had been long
itching for an opportunity to desert. The
Wing party had many Micawbers, who
were prayerfully waiting turn ups" which
would allow them plauSily to turn their
coats. The political chaos which has been
upon us for the last two or three years,
offered most opportune occasion for rene
gades. Blinded by the fog which has set
upon the political world, some politicians
have CROPPED in the path of their instincts,
and now that the atmosphere is clearing up,
there are discovered most lovingly lolling in
the lap of Locofocoism men who, a few
years ago, would have recoiled in virtuous
horror from the embraces of the harlot.
Egad! what miracles are wrought by al
lowing the "itnesS of things" to have fair
play!
One of this befogged brotherhood thinks
he sees daylight ahead" and asks most
anxiously, in the Union and american, of
Tuesday, "Where am I to 60" Not one
step, say we, from where he is now. He is
in the house of his friends-the bosom Of
his kindred All the ties of blood and ma
ture conspire to keep him in his present
company-and, for aught we know, still
stronger ties of interest 1t would be cruel
to persuade him that he ought to be any
where else, than where an memorable law OF
his nature has been for some years gradu-
ally leading him. All we ask is that he
will spare US the miserable hypocrisy of ask
ing where he is to 90, when, from his own
showing, he is so comfortably fixed. He
is herding with his kind. They are salts
fed with him and he with them, and the
Americans and loyal remnant of old Wings
with both of them. We pray him not to
move
This old Clay Wing thinks that Mr.. Fill
more's nomination is fraud on the South
in all probability, he thought otherwise four
years ago, when, if we mistake not, he
wrote of the patriotic zeal with which he
FILLMORE, } nobly breasted the storm Of IA
naticism which threatened the overthrow OF
our institutions, and in curbing their licen-
tious assaults upon the constitutional rights
of the South" To Justify his detection to
one party, he laments the immOlation OF
such a man as he has described Fillmore
to be. To defend his adhesion to another,
he proclaimS that the nomination of this
glorious patriot is an attempt to defraud the
South of her rights. Has Mr.. Fllmore's
four years retirement from politics dimmed
the brightness of his record? Has bis
Iightest act, or thought or word, given evil
dence that he is less sound now than then!
Has Mr.. Fillmore changed, or can it be
possible that our old Clay Wing is the
changeling? Not the latter. As well ex
pect the sturdy oak to bow at the breath Of
the zephyr, as that any but the highest
considerations of duty should influence him.
or affect his views of men. The stuff in
him is too stern for that.
