Row BETWEEN TWO COSGREssMES-On Sat
urday, December 18th, a difficulty occurred
in Washington, between Mr. English, of Kan.
sas notoriety, and Mr.. Montgomery, the Anti.
Lecompton champion from Pennsylvania A
dispatch to the Tribune, dated the 10Th.
gives the following as Montgomery's version
of the matter
al have not spoken to English this session.
or taken and notice of him when we met. as
we have occasionally The reason is that he
made a speech to the crowd who serenaded
him on the night of the passage of his bill,
in which he said that he had associated with
me and other Anti-Lecompton Democrats
only to find out our plans and defeat u.s.
From that time ! have looked upon him as n
treacherous spy and unfit associate for gentle.
men. About noon to-day | was walking
down Pennsylvania avenue, and had lust
passed Wilard's and crossed Fourteenth
street, when | saw English ccming towards
me, holding out his hand, saying, How do
you do, Mr. Montgomery
81 made no answer, but passed on without
any sign of recognition had walked few
steps when | received from behind very
violent blow on the left side of my head
given with such force as for a moment to
stagger and confuse me.
81 had not the least idea who or what had
strucd me, but turning round saw English
with large cane, which he held in both
hands, and from the position in which he
stood and the direction of the blow. must
have SO held when he struck me. lie ex
claimed:
cd d-nyou, I'll teach you to insult
me in that way
"lIe stepped backward quickly as he spoke.
! rushed at him, and as | was about to close
with him, he drew a sword from q cane and
presented it at me- AS | had no weapon of
any kind, ! stepped off the sidewalk and
picked up piece Of brick, which threw at
him. hitting him on the leg lie kept re-
treating, and before could find another mis-
sle, had got to such distance that it was
useless to pursue him"
Two persons. William Couch and Daniel
Cox. who witnessed the affair, confirm Mr.
Montgomery's statement in every particular.

~ The Pacific Medical and Surgical
Journal, edited and published in this city,
says the San Francisco National, by John b.
Trask, NJ, d., and David Wooster, NJ. d., in
| commenting upon the conduct Of the COM
mittee who quietly listened and tacitly ac-
quiesced in the scandaous libel upon the
character of the female portion of our COM
munity, perpetrated by their chairman,
makes use of the following language:
"The unvarnished truth is, that this com
mittee knew that this clause (referring to the
clause containing the libel) was false and
without mitigation but were too reckless of
their own, and the honor of the Society to
suppress it, or say in note that it was Who'll.
ly and nJtoriously false"
In another place the following pertinent
remarks are used:
"No; gentlemen, this will not do. Your
defence proves too much 1t asserts YOU fore
saw the effects of that sanderous paragraph
had it in your power to suppress it, and did
not do it. Ye also are guilty of uttering it,
equally guilty with the author himself ard
and the state Medical Society cannot forgire
you. "He that knoweth of a conspiracy
against the State and doth not reveal it, is
himself guilty of treason Thus said the ell
der DR.. Thou. How much more shall he who
not only knows, but has it in his power to
suppress the conspiracy, be deemed guilty,
neglecting to do so. This is more than a con-
spiracy against State. 1t is a historical
monument erected by reputably learned
body, and on one of its facets is engraved
that two thirds of the urban females of Cali
fornia are infamous 1t will remain legible
inscription when the newspaper disputes the
name of the author, and those who Justly
overwhelm him with reproaches, shall have
been forgotten

RATHER ATRCAL.-The Nevada journal
which carries no dead Waite, contains a re-
view of Gov. Weller's message which is rath

than at any former period" But, whether
owing to any benefcont interposition of Di-
vine Providence, the efficient working of our
revenue system, or the wise rule of John b.
Weller, how. like, "Who struck Billy Patter
son"-is left to swell the number of mooted
questions.
When we commenced it was our intention
to extend our review over a much larger
surface of the message than we now find W,
have space or inclination for. Especial,

CULTURE OF THE GRAPE-The farmers
throughout San Joaquin county, says the Ar
gus, are exhibiting nm interest in the cultiva-
ton of the grape hitherto unknown, fact
gratifying to every one to whom the perma--
nent welfare of the county is a matter Of any
consideration. A gentleman from French
Camp took from the gardens of Mr.. Weber,
yesterday, upwards of 5000 cuttings with
view to the commencement Of a vineyard. -
From other portions of. the county we learn
thut farmers are pursuing a similar course /;
for while it involves but trifing expendi-
ture of means, the labor attending the cult
yation of the vine is so light as scarcely to be
reckoned beyond pastime. We are confident
that few years experience in the produc-
tion of grapes will suffice to convince our
farmers that the business is much more pro
itable than the raising of grain, and attended
by very small proportion Of the labor.

All hopes of maintaining peace have vanished

on this country, will be the immediate in

the Alps, by the Austrians, after sangui-
