BLOODY AFFRAY IN ARKANsAs.-On the oath ult
desperate and fatal afay occurred in the streets of
lilo Ar-ap in, 1yEn nI
killed and several others wounded. An alteration
occurred between two young men, James Sans and
Forester Black, which was afterwards renewed be-
tween Black and Warren Sans, father of the first
named person. They both drew weapons, Sans a
bowieknie and Black revolver, with which he
fired twice and was then himself shot down by a
double bareed shot gun in the hands of young Sans.
Two brothers named smithson then interfered and
disarmed young Sans, whose father had been shot
dead by Black or some other person, for number of
those present drew and used pistols and knives The
Arkansian, in its account Of the affair, says:
Several pistol shots were fired, and bowie knives
used, by some persons yet unknown, probably by
interested spectators, idea may be formed Of the
paraeled savageness of this street fight, when it is
considered that Warren Sans shot with ten pistol
balls, and stabbed once or twice in the breast that
Forester Black shot twice with doublebarreled
shot gun. John Black and James smithson wounded
in the thigh, James Sans stabbed with bowe-knfe
and Mr. Moody severely wounded in the leg; and
further that after the fight had ended four revovers
found lying upon the ground of battle three of
which were entirely empty and one partially dis.
charged. Not sound was heard after the shooting
commenced save the sharp quick report of the re-
voIver the stunning sound OF the deadly shot guH
and the clash of cold steel, until Sans aud Black had
fallen aud their life blood was pouring forth through
CHASTITY and fatal wounds. The Of this tragedy
was enough to sicken manly heart, young man in
the morning of life, and mature man in the autumn
of his days, lying within few feet of each other
their lives pouring out IN torrents OF blood, and oul
Others bleeding from severe wounds, but imagination
can ieeby depict the heartrendiug lamentations O
mothers, sisters, and wives, relatives and friends
Our iDiormants say, but minute or two had elapsed
after the firing, before the square covered with
near hundred women, who made the town resound
with their frantic screams and wild cries of grief.

Nunc of the Jth inst, published at Grand Junction

| For now more than two weeks there has been little
or rain in this region, and the corn crop in many
neghborhoods begins to suffer considerably in con
sequence. The absence of rain. however, has as yet
no bad effect on cotton, which, but for the extra
ordinary GOODNESS of the nights would be in more
fourishing condition than witnessed before
