Hor BLOOD At WAsHiNGToN.-Several "affairs of
honor" have recently been the subject of talk and cx
element in Washington. Gen. Harney and Col
Sumner, Of the army had difficulty, which has,
however, it is stated been settled by the War De-
partment. Then Lieut. Rhind and Commander
Boutwell, had bout" paper the Commander
refusing to meet one who he said chad been dis.
missed from the navy by two courts, and by a third
convicted Of lying" Then Lieutenants Bell and
Williams of the army. had words and fight in q
BARRIERS shop; after which they met at Bladensburg,
fought with nistols. Bell Diercino 49, he. IF ILL.,
tagonist with bullet and Williams firing into the
ground. Friends then interfered and the difficulty
was adjusted. We believe Lieut. Bell is native Of
this State.
The Hon. j. B. Clay, son Of Henry Clay and
member of Congress from Kentucky, and Gen. Cul-
lom of Tennessee, Gate Clerk of the House Of Re
presentativesJ also quarreled in Browns Hotel,
challenge passed and was accepted, and at time
it thought that the result would be serious We
are glad to see it stated, however, a general m-
preston that the challenge has been Withdrawn and
the matter is in fair way of adjustment. Various
versions given of the quarrel between Clay and
Cullom, but publish the following from an ex.
change, which is said to be correct:
"Cullom entered the bar.room Of Browns Hotel.
where Clay Hawkins and Mason were standing He
proposed old fashioned Kentucky drink, in which
all the parties participated subsequently he com.
menced conversation with Clay, stating how he had
removed from kentucky to near the Hermitage. in
Tennessee where he bearded the lion in his den
He spoke of his long devotion to and admiration for
his father.
Mr.. Clay answered by saying that Gen. Leslie
Coombs had as Chickasaw Ambassador also
bearded the lion in his den.
This expression which some bystanders supposed
jocular, regarded offensive retort bv Gull
IN, who asked il he meant to insult him. Clay dis
claimed such intention.
The interrogatory was repeated With the same
reply, hmt accompanied with the menacng use
Of Culom's finger. when Clay, said that he not
accustomed to he addressed in such threatening
manner, words to that effect.
Cullom became more excited under the conviction
Of an intended insult to him, and denounced Clay as
"the apostate son Of noble SIR"
Clay said that his physical condition such as
would prevent him from answering with blow. but
he conld not resist proc aiming Cullom "a id
sconndrel," whereupon Collum drew back to strike
The force of the blow partially arrested BY
the spectators, but still reached Clay's nose and
caused it 20 bleed. The two were then separated
and withdrew" .

The Celebration in Richmond.

Monday last, the 22d of February was a proud
day for "od Virginia" 1t was the one hundred
and twenty sixth anniversary of the birth Of WASH
1NGroN, and it celebrated by the Inauguration of
the equestrian statue of the immortal man, recently
erected in Richmond. The weather was unpropi-
tious yet the ceremonies were most imposing and
were generally carried out according to the pro-
gramme. At least twenty-five thousand visitors
were in attendance besides the population of Rich
mond welcoming speech was delivered by Gov.
Wise, which was followed by address by Robert
G. Scott, Esq on behalf of the Masons, an opening
Ode by Jno R. Thompson, Esq. fhsoration by Hon.
R. NJ. T. Hunter, and a-terminal Ode by James Bar
ron Hope, Esq. -...f.s.5 luH-3sE
The proceedings, incidents, &C., as given in the
double sheet of the Petersburg Daily Express, are
highly interesting. Mr. Crutchfeld deserves great
credit for his industry and enterprise in thus bringing
out the proceedings in advance of some of the Rich
mond papers, and more at length than any of them.
Gen. Scott, Hon. Edward Everett, Hon. w. L..
Yancey, Governors Newell and HOlley, of New Jer-
sey and Connecticut, and many members of Cogress
and other distinguished persons were present.
The Grafton by Mr.. Hunter is an elaborate and no.
BILE production, worthy of the State of the occasion,
and of the memory and character of WASHINGTON,
whose name was on every tongue. The welcoming
speech of Gov. Wise is thus noticed by the Peters
burg Express: .....-
"Gov W1sE's ADDREss.-The address of this gen.
tleman at the Inauguration of the Monument, Mon
day. is universally spoken Of and in the most eulo-
CYSTIC terms 1t was an effort of rare beanty--in
truth, it was perfect gem in its way. Though
happy in conception, and creating an excellent i'm
preston in print. it should have been heard to be
appreciated Divesting himself Of his overcoat, and
dong his chapeau the speakers brilliant eye looked
keen eagles while his clarion voice, shrill
but clear. rung out on the chilly air with admirable
effect, and created the most intense enthusiasm.
Every syllable he uttered was distinctly heard even
| to the outskirt of the immense assembage, and as
he wound up each eloquent and patriotic sentence,
the effect was almost electrical. Loud and prolong.
ed cheers followed, and could not suppress a
smile at the blunt and honest manner in which q
rustic gentleman at our elbow cried out, If that
mans crazy. want to 60 to the mad house too "
We agree with the owner of that voice. II Gov.
Wise is crazy, he has an admirable way Of showing
it. which was evidently the idea the countrytnan
wished to convey" - = '-a2's
