I've tripods for some days pas, has been attributed
TO the purpose OF settling their cur en-, isunder.
Standing by exchange Of shots, have been ia this
city some three DAYS past-iacog., of conrse-and,
further that meeting, to come OH about noon to-
day. in this vicinity, had been arranged, aud that
the parties had escaped beyond the reach Of our
local police to keep the engagement We believe
that Charles Irving, Esq., Of the Lynchburg Pr
gtniaa, acts as the second of Mr.. Pryor. and James
n. Goggin, Esq, bro her Of the Hon. Vim. L. Cog.
gin, OF Virginia, as that Of Mr. Rdgsay.
