MARYSVILLE.
SATURDAY MORNING, JULY Nth

LAID THEM ALL our.-The Firemen of this
city have lively recollection OF visit
which they once had from the Figilant Co.
No. 9. of San Francisco. They took it into
their heads that they would make a certain
iolv member of the Vigilant Company drunk,
because be had boosted that he could drink
more liquor without being intoxicated than
any fireman he ever saw. Accordingly they
SET in for the business. The best drinkers in
the Department we're secretly pitted against
him. From saloon to bar.room, and bar
room to saloon, did they weud their weaving
way, and copiously did they imbibe at every
corner. Still did their intended victim main
tain his equilibrium. He grew jubilant, but
was STEADY" and right side up with care
Man after man of the Marysville corps drop
ped on the way and was carried from the
field. Still the Vigilant held his Own, and
at the close of the contest was the only man
in the crowd who could stand steadily upor
his feet or artieulate with any degree of dis
tinetness. His competitors were all laid out
and awoke to the knowledge that they ha(
sustained a most signal defeat With on
accord, they pronounced the Vigilant thu
hardest man" they had yet struck and un
heaitatingly proclaimed him absolutely in
vincible. He could outdrink the united
world
They found out afterwards that he was a
twin, having brother as like him as one
pea to another, and that he had persuaded
his brosher to ego in" with him and relieve
him. "on duty. Whenever he felt his
strength falling he would give way to his
brother, slip out and take snooze Duly
sobered, he would come back, and relieve
his brother And thus they kept up the bus
mess until victory perched upon their ban
ner Each of the two brothers was pretty
considerably intoxicated, at least dozen
times during the day, but little sleep made
everything all right again. The game was
nicely played, and the Marysville boys ac.
knowledge the corn. They swear they will
get even, if they have to wait ten years, but
whether they will or not remains to be
seen.

Hor BLOOD IN THE NATIONAL CONVENTION.
A dispatch to the New York Herald gives
the following account Of a scenes which occur
red in the room II the Committee on Credeu-
tials, on the 10th of June, pending discussion
of the question of contested seats:
The Arkansas ease was then taken up and
presented by Col Hindman, of Helena for
the Charleston delegates and by Mr.. Hooper,
oil Madison, for the contestants.
During Col. Hndman's remarks he desig-
mated the Conv held at Madison, where
the Douglas contestants were appointed, at a
mass meeting, and said that no mere than one
hundred and fifty persons were present, and
that they were not all citizens of Arkansas.
In the course of Mr.. Hooper's reply he
pointed twice or thrice at Col. Hindman with
his fingers. and alluded to him as that man
in manner which Col. ii. considered insult
ing, and he struck or threw the hand of Mr..
Hooper away, as it nearly touched his head.
Mr.. Hooper then proceeded to say that "the
statement as made by that man respecting
the Madison meeting is sfalse-unqualihedly
false"
Col Ehndman Immediately stepped in front
of Mr.. Hooper and struck him in the face a
to.erably hard blow, and then stepped back a
little and drew q pistol from the pocket Of his
pantaloons.
Mr.. Hooper also prepared to draw a similar
weapon, but the friends of Col Ilindman i'm
mediately surrounded HIM and told him he
had gone far enough, preventing him from
using the pistol
Col Hindman subsequently apologized to
the committee for the violence he had been
obliged to use, and Mr.. Hooper gave no fur.
thee indications of retaliation, apparently
satisfied that the affair had been driven to a
point where a hostile meeting must ensue.
A duel between the parties is expected as
matter of course, but it will probably be de-
layed until the Convention adjourns
There was a row to-day in the Committee
on Credentials and | am informed one gen.

shows the spirit that prevails.
The Keystone Club. who are on here from
Philadelphia in behalf of Douglas, had an

Baltimore men, Notwithstanding the vast
congregation Of fighting elements here, the
citizens are not uneasy, reposing confidence in
the efficiency of their present well organized
police, which have become the terror of row.
dies.
The parties in tie quarrel referred to
above, before the Committee on Credentials,
were Delaware delegates, of whom Whiteley
was one. Besides this here was another,
which might have been more seriousf an Ar.
kansas delegate having drawn a pistol
A difficulty Of a personal character has oc
Cured between two Virginian delegates, and
a hostile meeting has been agreed upon. One
of the parties is supposed to be Mr. Yost or
DR.. Matiitt, Douglas man. The name Of
the other is unknown.
The particulars are carefully concealed,
but it is known that Mr.. Pryor was sent as
friend to one of the parties, and he arrived
here to day. Rumor says that a meeting is
arranged for to morrow from the fact of the
sudden arrival of Mr.. Pryor.

While hunting for cattle on that day he

from behind small rock. He leaves his rifle
leaning against the rock and makes for the
nearest ce, but the bear is too fast for him
he has not even time TO use his revolver The
bear throws him to the ground and chaws his
head and face nearly to pieces, he being left
entirely blind In that most horrible cOndi-
ton, he wandered for about three quarters of
mile down the creek, towards where his
horse was tied, at times walking, at times
tumbling and rolling down the rough rocks,
until through exhaustion he lay down and
died In that state he was found four days
after his being missed.
