GEORGETOWN CORRESPONDENCE.

GEoRGErowS, August %, 1856.
A fracss occurred last night between two
individuals, named Jo Miller and John Clark,
which resulted in Clark receiving q severe
cut in the thigh from knife in the hand Of
Miller. 1t appears that Miller, who was in
toxicated, went TO the house Of Clark (his
father -in-law) and commenced behaving dis
orderly, whereupon q scufie ensued, which
resulted as above stated. Clark is q man of
a most excellent peacesble disposition.
A very general gingling Of the FIRE bells
was had at about eleven O'Clock last night.
We understand that il was caused by the burn
ing Of tar barrels somewhere near the lime
kilns OF Mr. 5. Hoover. The object Of the
juveniles who caused the alarm we are in
formed, was to get out the machines so as TO
raise fight among the fremen. Indeed.
some Of the parties engaged in raising the bon
hre avowed this to be their object The Union
seemed to be the machine upon which they
wished to vent their mischief liz is a pity but
all such scarps were in the custody Of Mr..
Queen, or Duffy.
The weather continues unusually cool for
this season Of the year. During the last twenty
four hours We have had a regular old fashion
ed Northwestern blowing, part of the time, Q
perfect gale, and so cool as to cause the gen.
eralty Of summer coats and white pants TO dis
appear.
From present indications, there will be no
lack of fuel in our city the ensuing winter
The stock now on hand in the various wood
yards appear to be unusually large for the sea-
son. Prices, however, both from boats and by
the retail continues pretty high.
We hear considerable inquiry as to where
the new custom house and post Office building
will be located. Of course, as is the case
every where: in all such cases every lot in the
town for sale will be the most suitable one.
De it located where it may, and we have no
doubt the very best point will be selected, We
are all hands glad we are TO have such a
building, and permanent location for these
two Offices.
The -four market this morning is moderately
hrln, with sales at sc l2t for standard brands
Wheat continues TO arrive quite freely, and
Is selling at 81 30aSl 80 for red and white.
