to a rumor that preparations are OIL foot for an
early shipment Of cotton from port of South Car

We cannot believe these rumors without further
confirmation, but we take occasion TO warn all en-
gagged, if any, in such an enterprise, that honor,
and duty, and policy, and patriotism, require that
not bale of cotton should leave a Southern port
Or inland mart, except for Southern consumption,
until it be exported legally and regularly after
a recognition of the Contederacy. This, we be-
lieve is the deliberate judgment and determination
Of this community, so far as port is concerned.

different parts of the body but still ther
came no pausein the combat, till Anthony
striking heavy, overhanded blow, cut hi
adversary's arm half off at the wrist !
Wilson changed his knife iuto his left hant
and, for an instant, ran several steps back
wards, as if to decline any further contest
He then stopped, and, smiling more fright
| fully than ever--a fearless, internal look
again rushed forwards. Previously, at thi:
crisis, when certain victory was within hi.
grasp, Anthony committed the folly o.
fiinging his knife at the others bosom
which, missing its aim, fell with a loud
ringing noise on the floor, more than thir.
ty feet distant. This error decided this
tremendous combat. Anthony was entire
ly disarmed, at the mercy of the tiger man
Wilson darted upon him with hoarse cry
of anger and hellish jOy-there where he
stood, motionless as a rock, powerless to
resist, and too brave to fly. One sharp
thrust ripped open the victims bowels, s,and
he caught them, as they were falling, in his
hands Another stroke, directed at the
neck, severed the main artery, and the
blood, spouting out with gurgling noise,
sprinkling the robes, and even the faces, of
some members who sat nearest the horrid
scene
The last act of the tragedy was closed,
and the curtain of death dropped on the
CORY stage. Anthony. without groan or
sigh, fell in his place a corpse, and Wilson,
fainting from loss of blood, sank down be-
side him. '
Up to this moment, although sixty Leg
islators were in their seats, and more than
a hundred lookers-on, the lobby, and
jeweled beyies of bright-eyed ladies in the
gallery, still none save those raging mad
men, had moved; no sound had disturbed
the whisperless silence, but the clangor Of
their conclusive steel. But then, as both
tumbled on the floor, like Jumps of lead, a
single Wild wailing, heart-shivering shrek,
as if some other soul.were parting with its
mortal clay, arose in the,erowd of females
and all was again still; but whether that
deep cry of an orphaned spirit was uttered
by the maiden of poor Anthony's bosom
who had hoped tomorrow to be his bride
or by the beautiful little daughter of Will
son, or by some plying stranger, could
never be ascertained. f.s.ssr1
Wilson recovered, and is yet alive; and
there is scarcely an inch square on his face
that does not show its deep scar, as me-
mento of the matchless combat. He was
expelled the House, bailed by nseaeifal
Judge, brought to trial and acquitted
There was never jury yet in the back
woods that would convict a person for slay
ing another in fair fight For the des-
perado is the backMoods hero, whom all
men worship.

The Attack Om the Fire Zouaves Near
Newport News.

The correspondent of the Philadelphia
Enquirer, writing from Fortress Monroe,
gives the following account of the attack
upon and capture of number of the Fire
Zolaves by the Confederates, near Newport
News, on Saturday last:
On Saturday, a company Of the New
York Fire Zouaves left their camp at New.
port News point, for tie purpose of cutting
wood for fuel. They proceeded to cut wood
about two miles and half from the camp,
and had nearly loaded up an army wagon,
which was drawn by four mules, when the
rebels surrounded them with about two
hundred we'll armed men. The Zouayes
we're armed, bat had neglected to establish
any sentnels to give any alarm in case the
enemy should be il the vic nifty. The first
the Zouaves knew they were entirely sur
rOunued. a scene OF the utmost confusion
prevailed. They did not use their arms,
nor would the rebels fire upon them, lest it
should alarm the camps, and they would be
pursued A large number of them escaped,
however, and lett thirteen of their comrades
In the hands OF the rebels. During the night
two OF them escaped, and came into camp.
Previous TO this, some anxiety was felt for
their safety, and scouts were sent out to find
out what ban become Oi them, and they
returned, bringing no tidings whatever.
The men who came in report that the rebels
say they have e large force near our lines,
and they will soon move towards us.
