Row WITH NEaRo WATTERS AT NIAGARA
FALLs.-The Rochester IN. " Union states
that there is much excitement among the vis-
itors at Niagara Falls, conseq aent upon an
afrray Friday night between some of the guests
at the International Hotel and some negro
walters employed there. 1t ssems that for
some insolence during the day, Mr.. Jas. Cor
don Bennett, Jr., knocked one of the waters
down. The Union adds:
During the night, Mr.. Bennett, In company
with a friend, went over to the Canada side OF
the river. being followed by five or six negroes,
who were intent on chastising the white
folks" The guests stayed In Canada as long
as they wished, and then recrossed the sus-
pension bridge. just as they stepped from
the structure the negroes assaIled Them. Ben
nett and his friend defended themselves man
fully, and two or three of the "darks" "hissed
the earthn One Of them somehow got behind
Mr.. B. and leveled him with a stone, which
was thrown against his back the darkies had
knives in their hands which they fourished
with impunity. The white men, by the as
sistance of friends, got home to the hotel with
out sustaining any serious injury. The next
day a Southern gentleman escorted Bennett
around town, prepared to make quick WORK
with the negroes if they attempted to play
any more of their "tricks." The affair caused
considerable feeling In the town, and ii is
feared that blood will yet be shed This of
course is only one side of the story, and before
censure is cast upon any person or persons our
readers had better wait for more minute de-
tails.

Caught at Lass.-Charles Chapman q free
negro, indicted by the Grand Jury for re-
naming in the Commonwealth contrary to
law, and convicted of the offence, has been
sent TO prison by the Mayor to hear the judg-
ment of the Hastings Court at it's Septembe
term. The Court, at its last session, gave the
prisoner ample time TO leave this State and 80
10 tree Cne; but, like a sensible negro, he has
TO doubt concluded that slavery in the Old
Dominion is preferable TO freedom among the
abolitionists, and therefore declined to go
The Court will probably order aim TO be sold

master 10 take care of and provide for him. =.

Street Passenger Railtcay.-EDgineerC Chinn
Is about tc commence the location Of the street
railroad, the construct ton of which will com.
mence as soon as all the stock is taken. This
improvement is TO be of great value to all parts
of the city, but particularly SO to property
holders at each end Of the line, and it is little
surprising that they have not seen their in.
terests in the success of the work, and made
such investments is as would have ensured its
commencement before this time. When the
main line is completed from Rocks It's TO
Brooke Avenue, branches will then be con-
structed 10 Hollywood Cemetery, up Main,
TRACE and Marshall streets, along OH to French
Garden HUI, out4th 10 Shockoe Hill aud down
Broad TO Church Hill mus linking every re-
mote section of the city to the centre, and
making each desira lie for private residences,
and for manufacturing and other purposes -
When the conveniences If horse railway are
practically tested, no section of the city will
be without one, aud thus the sub bnrbs will be
improved and beautified, the city enlarged and
enriched, and the people benefited and ac-
commCdated in residences and in business op-
erations. Wherever horse railways have been
established, they have proved OF great conve-
nience to the poor as we'll as of comfort to the
rich, ard have added thousands upon thou
sands to the value of the land over W hich they
pass, as we'll as to the city and State treasury.

FROM SYRIA.-News from Syria has been
received up to the both ult. Fuad Pasha had
arrested the principal civil and military func-
tionaries. Ahmed and Kurchid Pashas have
arrived here under arrest. Ahmed Pasha has
been sent back to Beyrout, after having been
publicly degraded. Kurchid Pasha is to fol-
low. Both are to be tried by mixed commits
sions. A letter to the Boston Traveller, dale
July 2Sth, says:
There are now eighteen vessels of war in the
harbor, all of them so situated that their guns
bear directly upon the town. Every body is
now on the qua cice for en- occupation of the
country by French troops, news has been
received that several thousand have left France
for This place. 1t is greatly to be feared that
SUCH an occupation Will cause bloody scenes
i'll the interior cities, "but if war must come,
let 1t come!' An occupation of Syria would
be the signal of the removal of the Sick man -
from the stage of action. F..

SENATOR DOUGLAS ON JULkPS. In MS
speech at Petersburg. Va, Tuesday night,
Senator Douglas gave the following historical
account of the discovery" of juleps:
About the year 1776, man by the name of
George Rogers Clarke, applied to the Governor
of Virginia and suggested 10 him that as peace
might a, any time be declared between Great
Britain and the colonies, it would be well for
us to be in possession OF the Northwest terri
tory-that which is now Ohio, Indiana, Ilii-
nois Michigan and Wisconsin-so that when
the Commissioners came TO negotiate the trea.
" OF peace, We might act on The well known
principle of ntt pOsstdettS, each party holding
all they had in possession. He suggested To
the Governor that he should permit him TO GO
out TO the Northwest, conquer the country,
and hold ii until the treaty of peace, when we
would become possessed OF 1t. The Governor
consen ted, aud sent him across the fountains
to Pittsburg. From there he and his com pany
hoated down the Ohio river on RATS TO the
falls where Louisville now is, and after re
naming there ID short time, they again took to
their RATS, and floated down to the Salines,
just below Shawneetown, in Illinois. Here
they TOOK up their march across the country
10 kaskas kiH, where there were number of
French who had formed settlement there,
ana ny means OF guide they reached the
OQuaw river, and encamped near Peter Me-
rand's house, some little distance from the
town. You see am well acq uainted with the
locality. Laughter and applause.l They
reached there at night, and early the next
morning, Clarke got his little army of raga-
mullins together, (for they had no army wag-
ons with supplies, no sutler, and no stores,
and by this time began to look ragged and
wretched enough,) and took up his line OF
march for the little French town of Kaskas kia
1 was summer, and a very hot day, and as he
entered the town, he saw the Frenchmen be-
longing TO it sitting quietly on the little ve-
randahs In front Of tReir houses, sucking their
juleps through u straw, and he rushed on
them, crying, "surrender, you suckers, you y
fGreat iaughter.] The Frenchmen surren-
dered, and from that day to this, lllinoisans
have been known as suckers" lRenewed
laughter.l
That was the origin Of our cognomen, and
when George Rogers Clarke returned TO Vir-
ginia, he introduced the juleps here. Laugh
teri Now, ! want TO give Virginians lar
noiice that when they claim the honor OF .
Jefferson, Of Madison, OF q Marshall, OF
Wythe, of a George Mason, and Of as many
other distinguished sages and patriots ss the
world ever saw, we yield; when you claim
the glory you achieved on the field OF battle,
we yield when you claim credit for the ees.
sion of the Northwest Territory, that out OF
il sovereign States might be created, we
yield; when you Claim the glory Of never
having polied vote against the Democratic
party, we yield but when you claim the
glory Of the mint julsp, hands on: Illinois
wants that LShouts OF laughter and ap-
plauss.

Street EgAf.-On Wednesday afternoon last
a dif1culty occurred on Main street, near 7th,
between VIM. F. Sims and Alois Rick. which
resulted In the lafter's getting blow o9 tns
arraienmsn Of the former before the Mayor
Rick Il the contractor for paving Main street
between 7th and 9Th, and Sims has . lerge
planning mill on Main street, between TN and
pass over that portion Of the street which has
Just been paved, but not received by the city.
On the afternoon Of the occurrence, Sims
wished to send q load of lumber from his yard.
and attempted to drive over the unfinished
pavement; to which Rick objected, and stopped
the team, by seizing one Of the horses As
Sims was driving the team, he ordered Rick to
let 60 the horses, declaring that he would
drive on the street, which Rick refused to al
low him to do. Sims becoming excited jump b.
ed off the wagon, when Rick released his hold.
Sims then picked up two stones, and remonnt-
ing the wagon, started 10 drive on, when Rick
again caught the horses and stopped them
After ordering Rick 70 release his hold several
times, which he declined to do, Sims threw a
stone at him and struck him ON the back OF
the head, causing him To stagger ard fall.-
Sims then drove on, and Rick procured war.
rant for the arrest Of his assailant. The
Mayor decided that Sims had no right to drive
over The pavement until it was completed, and
besides holding him to bail TO answer an in
dictment by the next Grand Jury, required
him to give security for his good behavior.

Fairfield Fall meeting, to commence the oath
of October, will be found in another column,
and promises fine sport. The meeting COM
mences with G three-year old sweepstake, two
mile heats. $3.50 entrance, and $500 added, for
which there are seven entries--one Revenue,
one Financier, one Boston. Jr, and fuur Red
Eyes. The second day is for the PROPRIETOR
Purse of S200, two mile heats. The third day
is for the Jockey Club Purse of $500, three
mile heats-and the second race, same day, 10
a sweepstak for three-year olds, mile heats,
500, free for all that have never won race
up to the time of closing q stake. And the
fourth and last day are two sweepstakes-the
first mile heats, SlO0 entrance, and 800 added.
to which there are six subscribers-and the
second race q sweepstake one mile out, for
two-year olds, S100 entrance, and 500 added,
to which there are five su bscribers.
Thus it will be seen that while the entrance
fees and forfeits are made light, the raisers of
blooded stock are willing 10 train and run,
and thus ensure good sport, while larger en-
trance tees would deter them from doing so,
and, as a consequence, reduce the number of
colts and the chances of sport
The proprietor of Fairfield promises to have
the track in tlp-toT order before the day OF
meeting, and to give the racing public the
best accommodate atoms he can afford. Fairfield
is perhaps the safest course in Virginia, and
must even ntually become one of the most pop
ular in the South.
