SHOOTING AFFRAY AT CoFrEEv1LLE, MISS. Ttro
Prominent Citizens Killed We learned last even
ing the particulars of one of the most shocking af
trays which it has ever been our duty to record.
1t occurred at Coffeeve, Miss. about 20 miles this
side of Grenada. on the Mississippi road. The par
ticpants were Henry A. Rddick and Adrian Snider,
both prominent lawyers of that place. The origin
of the difficulty was in some remarks made by
Snder in relation to trial progressing in court,
which Riddick considered as personal and detri-
mental to his standing in society. This occurred
Wednesday evening last. The following morning
the parties met, when an explanation was demanded
by Riddick. High words followed and sharp cpl
thets were applied on either side, when they both
drew pistols and fred. Riddiek received the ball
of his opponent in the left breast, killing him al
most instantly, his own shot failing to take effect.
At this juncture in the affay the crowd rushed in
and brother of Rddick. named William, seized
his brothers. pistol and fred at 6naer, the ball
taking effect on the left cheek bone, passing on
and entering the brain, from which he died in three
hours afterwards. These are the particulars as re-
lated to us last evening. The affair naturally
created great excitement throughout the town, the
news spreading rapidly. EMemphis Enquirer

On Monday, July %, the expedition encountered
a severe gale, during which heavy sea broke
over the bow, and sweeping the deck, stove the

the depth of fifteen inches. The carpenter relieved
the unwelcome visitation by boring several holes
in the floor and letting it run off into the hold
During the next hour thereafter, five several seas
broke over the vessel descended to the cabin, and
deluged all hands and everything within reach /;
The main boom guy was snapped, and the boom

: ---- ----9 --- THE GHEAI SULTAN ELIIFsE.
On the 18th OF July, the day Of the great solar
eclipse the vessel was rolling in heavy swell off
Labrador. A dense fog prevailed: there was no
wind, and the weather was dismal and uncomforta-
BILE. The eclipse of the sun was seen by Mr.. Son
tag and DR.. Longshaw at various times during its
progress, the fog obscuring, as to render obser
vations difficult. A cHrrent of air occasionally
swept the fog away, aud disclosed the to view,
when Mr.. Sontag made some scientific calculations.
As the expedition neared Sable Island, in the
second week, tho fog became rather annoying,
even to those who were disposed to look on the
days they were unable to obtain an observation.

INTERESTING NARRATIVE OF THE EXPEDITION.
New Orleans daily crescent., 1860-11-22

On Friday, the 9th, the barometer indicated on
approaching storm, and early in the morning the
gale commenced accompanied by heavy sea,
rain and hail. The vessel shipped many seas dur
ing the day, the most dangerous breaking oyez her
in the afternoon. One OF these came in over the
stem, carrying the stern boat and the davits by
which it hung. The foreyard was carried away
and several oars, o large quantity of lumber and
everything that was not lashed, were swept off, A
seaman named Mcdonald was washed overheard,
but catching a rope as he went over the side OF
the vessel. he sustained himself until assistance
reached him, when he regained the deck. He had
narrow escape, for had he gone clear Of the YES
SELL no human hand could have saved him. While
the gale was at its height, the officers and men
lashed themselves to the vessel for safety During
the night Of the 9th the expedition passed Cape
Farewell and entered Davis Straits. The gale
abated after continuing three days, much TO the
comfort of the voyagers, who during its continl-
ance, had nothing warm to eat or drink. Capt.
Mccormick was highly pleased with the behavior
of the vessel, which proved itself eminently sea-
worthy, and equal to the trying emergency.
On Sunday the 2sth Of Jaly, three icebergs were
seen in the midst of much drift ice and wood, in
the current, all going nosthward. The thermome:
ter deck this day stood at 40, and in the water
at S3o, or the freezing point. On the following
day the expedition experienced O. gale in which
the fferail and the oretopsail sheet were carried
away.
