STABBING AFFAIR." Capt. Montgomery, of the
steamer Republic, was seriously injured on Monday
evening, by John Prtchard, second-mate of the
steamer Decatur The most circumstantial account
of the affair we have heard is this Prtchard, ntox.
cated went aboard the Republic and behaved rather
noisily, upon which Capt. Montgomery wentato him
in peaceable way, put his hand on his shoulder and
got him as far as the companionWay in his desire to
get him off the boat, when Pritchard suddenly drew
bowie knife and stabbed him. He did not draw the
knife from the sCabbard but gave the blow with the
knife still in the scahbard. The blow, however was
so desperate, that the knife forced itself through the
end of the scabbard and gave the Captain serious
and painful wound through his ribs. After that,
PritChard was fallen upon and pretty badly beaten
by others board the boat and was finally taken to
the First District lookup. The Captain was brought
ashore, and his wound examined 1t was not thought
to be dangerous His boat, yesterday, had to leave
without him. Pritchard upon arTaignment before
Recorder Summers yesterday declared he had no re-
membrance of the affair, having been drunk at the
time. He was sent to the Parish Prison.

either cash or negotiable paper. Lehde soon found
