FATAL AFFRAY IN DARLINGTON
DISTRIcT. S. C.-We have learned
of a most unfortunate occurrence al
Gainesville. A man named Wynd.
ham, a dearIer in liquor and traffic
ker with negroes, took from the de-
pot at Gainesville three barrels of
whisky. This fact being communica-
ted to the Vigilant Committee twenty
sever met for the purpose Of destroy
ing the liquor. They were met by
Wyndham's friends; they concluded
to withdraw, notifying the other par
ty that they would return the next
day. Accordingly some seveniy-fve
of the Committee well-armed, metz,
they formed into three companies.
and marched to the rear of the house,
One of the oldest and most respecta-
bic citizens went up and demonstrated
with the opposing party, assembled
in front Of the shop, with guns, piss
tolls, sticks, knives, bot to no purpose.
The defenders of Wyndham and his
liquor swore that if the Vigilant men
entered the shop, it would be over
their dead bodies. The companies
advanced; the door was ordered TO be-
opened, One of Wyndham's party
singled out an officer among the Vigi-
lanls, saying, "You are my man."
and fired, The shot brusing him and
striking another man, but not killing
him. In an instant the man was shot
dead, and a general rush made at the
party knocking them down with the
but-ends. of their guns-in some in
stances breaking them, featuring
kulls, &c. Two or three of the
Wyndhams are dead, or will die soon.
A Nelson Stucky was badly, if not
fatally, stabbed, with a Mr.. Robert
son, the. nan who was first shot
These were the only Vigilants injur-
ed. The shop was entered; but, not
finding the whisky, the corn-crib was
searched, ami it was found there and
destroyed-lCamden Journal.

1t is the general understanding among the
members of the House that the vote will be
:aben on the Kansas question on Thursday
next. II is believed by the opponents oil
the bill that they will have seven majority in
favor of the proposition made by Mr.. Crit
tenden in the Senate, but there is reason to
fear that certain three Republicans will not
vote for the bill if even thus amended. Ell
forts are making to overcome their objections.
On the other baud the Lecomptonites boast
conf lent!y that certain men who profess OPP
position have already sold out, and intend 70
cheat their friends.

The Democratic members of Congress
have during the past week been making a
desperate effort to restore harmony in their
ranks by healing the breach caused by the
Lecompton question. A committee of
twepty-ten Lecomptonites and ten antics
had been appointed for the purpose o. de-
vising a plan by which they could all unite
in voting to admit Kansas under the Lecomp-
ton Gonstitution-but their consultations
were of no avail; the differences between
them were found to be iTreconcilable, and
the idea of harmonious action abandon
ed.
Subsequently q general caucus of the
Democratic members was held, and resulted
in the adoption of a resolution to vote for
the bill as it came from the Senate-where-
upon the -Lecompton members gener-
ally retired, while those Of them who re-
manned did not indicate the course the in
tended to pursue.

The official copy of the late speech OF
Senator DOUGLAS has not yet appeared. 1t
is said to have been one OF his best efforts,
and the Administration papers declare that
it has severed the last tie that binds him to
the party. The following is a special des-
patch to the N. Y. Tribune:
WASHINGTON, Monday, March 2
Mr.. Douglas spoke this evening three
hours to an overcrowded audience. He
first reviewed his own Course on the slavery
acquiesced in the Missouri Compromise I'M
til the principle of popular sovereignty was
introduced, when he embraced it, and after
wards applied it to Kansas. All he asked
now was that it should be fairly carried out,
sand this, be went ON to show the Lecomp-
ton Constitution did not do. He said that
Calhoun, being absent, had no right to de-
clare the vote of Kansas, which is given by
The L~ecoMPton Constitution to the President
pro tenn. so that his recent letter was of no
consequence whatever.
Mr.. Douglas then denounced the Wash
ington Union for assailing him, and he said
that it was because he refused to vote for
the editor as printer. He read a long edito~
rial, which urged that emancipation in the
North was a violation of the right of proper
ty under the Constitution, and gave this as u
reason why he refused to vote for the edi-
tor.
The last hour was devoted to 4 vehement
denunciation Of the President for attempting
to DRAGON men into the support or Lecomp-
ton by the use of patronage, and he declared
for one he would follow the dictates OF his
own conscience, in spite of the President or
Ca binet. He should consult the will of his
constituents rather than the will Of the Ad-
ministration. All other Democrats were al
lowed to differ from the President on various
points--on this alone absolute submission was
required.
He scorned the attempt at coercion, and
would not yield to it. If this was to drive
him to private life he was ready for the sac
riice. He preferred his self respect in pri-
vat e life to s%ervile aabsement in office

WE give to-day the speech of Hon. B.
Stanton, our Representative in Congress,
on the bill which recently passed the House
to authorize the raising of Ave regiments of
volunteers. 1t is an able effort. and our
readers will of course give it a careful Pc
rusal. The Washington correspondent of
the Philadelphia Inquirer says of it
"Another of the most effective speeches
made in the House, or in Congress, this sea-
sou, was that of Mr.. Stanton of Ohio, on
Thursday last, in opposition to the bill pro-
viding for an increase of the army. Il was
listened to with intense interest by both sides
ef the House, and its pungent truths told with
thrilling effect.
''There has been ne answer to this speech
yet, and there can be none, because Mr..
Stanton has probed to the bottom and ex-
posed the designs of the Administration"
