GREAT BATTLE-We have learned that
Il terrible battle occurred very recently in
Cumberland Valley, about ten miles from
city. The circumstances seem to he as fol-
lows: The son Of Mr.. Growden. married
lady of Ohio, by whom he had two sons,
when he died hot being in very good cir
cumstances and the father of her late hts-
band being gentlemen well to do in the
world, at the request of the grandfather the
boys were left with him, while the mother
returned to Ohio to live among her friends.
She repeatedly wrote 20 Mr.. Growden to
send her money, which we understand the
old gentleman did very cheerfully. Recently
she took it into her head, that her boys might
be oil some service 10 her, the oldest ofwhom
was about eleven years of age, and conse-
qucntly wrote for them. The children, how
ever, declined going, prefering to stay with
their grandparents. a week or two ago she
came in and demanded them. but the chill
dren refused to 90 with her. and Mr.. Grow
den plead his great attachment to them, as
well as bis ample ability to take care of them
as reason why they should be permitted to
stay with him, the mother however was in
exoraOle in her demands. when the old gen.
tleman consented that the children might 90,
provided they wished to do so, but they still
objected The mother then left and went to
Centrevile, where she told most pteous
tale, and so worked upon the sympathies of
some ten or twelve persons, that they agreed to
accompany her to the house Of Mr.. Grow
den and take the children by force. Wheth
er tie Growden family had any intlmaton
! or not Of the design of these persons, We are
not informed, they however gave them a very
warm reception. Men and women engaged
in the strife, and desperate was the fight, one
man OF the attacking party by the name OF
Elliot, had his skull broken, and Others were
seriously injured The mother with her
friends succeeded i'll carrying off the younger
boy, but the elder, who had been repeatedly
seized by the attacking forces, broke away
and succeeded in hiding himself, and thu.
escaped, and is now with his grandparents.
We learn that tho mother made her way tc
the neighborhood of this city, and from her,
took the cars for Ohio. The parties engaged
in the rio. have been arrested, and will b,
tried by the Court Of bedford county, Fern
sylvaDia.

which yonr citizens are deeply intcres-
ted. Special agents have recently been
employed in soliciting signatures to a
petition requesting the Governor to call
an extra session ofthe Legislature. The
whole of the movements Of these parties
have been remarkably quiet, and they
set forth the most plausible reasons and
subtle prctenses, and consequently they
have secured the signatures of a great
many of our leading and prominent men
of both parties. Some of these cmissar-
les have been from your city, and they
have employed agents for their purpose
here, and | could name quite a number
of our most influential men who have
been induced to sign these petitions.
The ostensblc purposes set forth in
the petition is the importance which at

late session, and which disturbed the
whole Legislative term--the Brock bill
The triple project contemplated in the
extra session IS thus set forth, and have
deemed it my duty to put you on your
guard, that the citizens af Baltimore
may be wide awake" to the movements
of their enimics.
OF course an extra session of the Leg

of ten delegates from Baltimore city,
where, doubt not, the anti-Brock sen.

will run again in this county, and viii
most likely be elected. But unless he
pledges himself to 90 for all three of til,

THE VoTE ON THE GAS MATERIALLY
reference to another column, it will be seen,
that the Mayor aud Council, call upon the
voters of the city, at the municipal election,
TO be held on the End Monday, and 14th day
of Nav next, to say whether they are willing
that the Corporation shall continue to pay,
as now thirty dollars per year, per lamp, for
gas, or if it shall be dispensed with, unless it
can lie had ".for less Aan trenty.fre dollars
per post" Many of our citizens declare them
selves to be at loss to know what to do, in
view of their limited knowledge of the sub
jet, and hence express their doubts about
their voting in reference to the matter at all.
The difficulty is here. Taking into view the
capital nvested--the expenses attendant up
on its manufacture and the amount of Gas
consumed in the city, docs the Gas Company
receive more than a just remuneration Mt
present prices? Again, if the voters refuse
the use of Gas, unless it can he had "at less
than twenty-five dollars per post" will any
other light be substituted, and if so. taking
into consideration the changes that will have
10 be made in the lamps-what kinl Of
lights will he substituted what will be the sa-
wing to the Corporation? And should the
voters refuse the Gas. for corporation uses
is it not likely that that portion Of the citi-
zens who deem it a necessity for their dwell
ing and stores will have to pay an increased
price for its Use. We confess ourselves unable
to give the information, but would he obliged
to any of our friends who will give us some
light.--light-ths people want light on the
subject.
