We are grahaed al this spirit among our cisi'
zens. Richmond has for many years furnished
the staple commodity for a branch Of foreign com
merce that has yielded the most magnificent pro
fits. Many, very many, northern merchants have
grown wealthy upon It. 1t Is gratifying that At
last the attention of cur own citizens has been
turned towards It. The Messrs. CURRIE deserve
credit for having been pioneers in the enterprize
of shipowning for the purpose of entering int
the South American trade. We trust they and all
that have followed in their track nsy reap the
richests rewards. successful foreign trade will
add largely to the general wealth o. this city

A Correction of some KausEs Falseh o DDS.
We are given to understand, fom very good au.
thorisy, that the paragraph We copied from the
Beaver Dam Republican respecting conflict be-
tween Mr.. Walter james, son of the British Com
sui here, ard three indians in Kansas is false in
almost every particular
The simple facts are these. Mr.. James went out
alone to sh OF deer on Rice Creek. He heard
some Indians who had obtained spirits, shouting
and making q great noise, and he went to til cir
wigw am to request them civilly TO desist, repre-.
sen,ing that they scared all The game away lie
never warned them off at all There were three
men in the wgsam, all of whom came out to
speak With him At once-amongst them q famous
fighting Indian who orce before attempted to kill
a gentleman of the name of Goldsburg. They
were talkisg with Mr.. James quite quietly, when
suddenly one snatched hi, rife from his hands,
another seized him by the throat. and the third at
tacksd him with a knife He is q remarkably
powerful and resolute man, and drawing his hunt
sg knife he fought for Lis life
The man who had sna;ehed the gun aimed it
at him and pulled the trigger, but it was luckily
at half cock, and before he could cock it and aim
again, he was fellcd by a blow OF the hunting
knife. The other two were also soon disabled
but no blow was given except in absolute self de.
fence. The point of the hunting knife never
used by Mr. James, but merely the edge, in order
II spare his assailants as far as possible. The
statement of the Black Republican paper we
must say, hears falsehood on its face None bnt
mailman would go alone to bully or attack three
strong and well armed Indians in tseir own wig
wan, and the fact Of man so powerful and rcso
lutte as to disable all three in few minutes com
bat, suffering his gun TO be snatched from him
shows sufficiently tina. he was taken by surprise
aud never expected an assault No man had his
arm cut off, and indeed. however strong Mr. James
may be. we should naturally think it Is beyond his
might 10 cut a mans off with the blow of a
hunting knife He is Known in Virginia well
In Wisconsin, for an exceedingly mild and con
ciiiatory young gentleman, and the last man on
earth to injure or assail another excep. in self de
fence
