PERSONAL REEcoNTRE-A great deal Of
excitement was created in the city last night,
by a collision between Mr.. J. W Hughes
and Mr.. 4. Fauntleroy. The difficulty be-
tween these gentlemen originated in Sc
ries of newspaper articles, the last of which
appeared in the Journal of Wednesday,
written by Mr. Fauntleroy, and rejecting
severely upon Mr.. Hughes. The particu-
lars of the ARRAY, as given to us by several
bystanders, are about as follows; Mr.
FauntleFoy was reading newspaper at
HeaIy's Book Store-sitting in chair
at the time, when Mr.. Hughes came up
and, in loud tone, denounced Mr.. Faunt-
leroy as liar and a scoundrel"
The latter rose from his seat when Mr.
Hughes struck at him with knife, cutting
Mr. Fauntleroy slightly in the right breast
Both parties then stood apart few feet
with drawn knives, while Mr.. F. told
Hughes what be thought of him. The latter
then turned and walked away, and thu;
ended the affair Mr.. Fauntleroy was moi
aware, amid the excitement of the moment
that he was wounded, or without doubt thii
collision would have had more bloody ter
mination. For the sake of all parties con.
csrned, weare sorry to have been calledupor
to notice this ARRAY, but both gentlemen
should have learned long since, that person
al newspaper articles generally end in jus
such disgraceful affairs

Cur. BeATs.-We have been considerably
surprised at the non-arriYal of the gun
boats, which have been reposing on the
Portland bar for number of months past

charge do not promptly avail themselves of

such as gunners, &c. Wepresume it would
be quite impossible for gunners to find their
way to Cairo, and for the other articles
needed to render the boats ready for active
service, to be transported to that point by rail
1t must be done at New Albany although
the boats may be detained until the river
once more becomes SO low that they will be
compelled to remain at that port for a
couple Of months longer.
Some of the worst bars on the river are
between this city and New Albany, and
with such excellent railroad connections at
Cairo with all portions of the country, there
is no reason whatever why the boats can
not be pushed through to their present des-
tination on the present rise. These. boats
are badly needed at Cairo. The rebels are
congregating in vast numbers at New Mad
/ rid and were these boats ready for q cruise,
they could annoy the enemy in their opera
tions TO considerable extent. Indeed, no
steamer In their possession would dare to
run where there was any danger of coming
into collision with these formidable gun
boats. ~
We are at loss to conceive, if it really
be necessary that the new boats receive their
outfit at New Albany, why preparation
were not made while they were fast on the

WEARING RUBBER SHoEs.-The tendency oi
India rubber shoes is to make the feet cold
and in such proportion-to endanger the health
hence they are useful only in walking, when
the ground is muddy, or slushy with melting
snow-in these cases they are invaluable, and
there is no equal substitute. Two rules should
be observed, whenever it is possible; when rub
bers are on the feet, persons should keep NOV
ing, and remove them on entering the house
II 1t Is intended to remain over a few minutes
If the rubbers have been on the feet several
hours, both shoes and stockings are necessa-
rily damp by the condensation and confnc-
ment Of the perspiratiOn; therefore all should
be removed, and the max ed foot held to the fire
until warm and dry in every part; if, then, a
pair OF dry stockings are put on, and pair of
warm loose slippers, or shoes, there will be a
feeling of comfort for the remainder of the
day, which will more than compensate for the
trouble taken, to say nothing Of the ailments
averted. But it must not be forgotten that as
India rubber shoes are impervious to water
from without, and ought to be worn in muddy
weather, and only then while the wearer is in
motion, so leather shoes, rendered impervious
to water, by blacking or any other means,
should be like India rubbers, used tenn porarily,
and when walking in mud or slosh. For COM
mon purposes the old fashioned leather boots
and shoes are the best, if kept we'll blackened,
with several renewals Of dry socks during the
day, if the feet sweat profusely. AS cold and
damp feet are the avenues Of death to multi
tudes every year, systematic attention to the
above suggestions would save many a valuable
life.-HaH'S Journal Of Health.

LIrERATuRE.-The Rev. Mr.. Spurgeon has
recently taken to editing q religious periodi-
cal, called the "Baptist." Even the preachers,
both in this country and England, are sucked
into the whirlpool Of journalism.
Harrison Ainsworth and Dudley Costello are
the principal contributors to Bentley's Maya
zine.
A shilling edition of Emerson's "Conduct of
Life" is published in England, despite the un-
favorable reviews of the Athen@um and the
Critic.
Miss Muloch, author of "John Halifax" has
turned editor, and Is to supervise a new
monthly shilling magazine; she has contributed
largely to McMillan's Magazine.
Lamartine has offered play to the Porte
Saint Martin, and it was rejected. A double
modification. The piece was called La Ser
pante.
The new pamphlet, Rome and the French
Bishops" is attracting nearly as much atten-
ton in Paris as The Pope and the Congress
year ago.
Victor Hugo having completed his great ro-
nance Of Les MiserabieS, demands S60, 900 for
the six volumes. Solar, the publisher of La
Presse, offers Sl5, 900 for the right to publish
the work in the feuilleton form, and another
publisher offers SIS, 900 for the absolute prop
erty Of the volumes, but the poet resists both
inducements. Who shall talk of the lack of
business talent, the improyidence and careless
ness of literary men?
Motley's new volume is in press by the Har-
pers, and indeed ready for publication. They
hold it back solely on account of the times.
Some of the copy Of Thacksrsy's Virginians
was written so hastily that the original manu-
script was sent to this country before the au-
thor had corrected the proofs.
The two first volumes of a French transla-
ton of German work called Enigmatical
Percentages and Wonderful Histories, are just

Anthony Trollope, John Hollingshead, and

upon the following plan: He sent a stranger to
certain retail store, with instructions to Inquire
for short linen wrappers. The merchant could
not supply him, and the stranger inquired where
he could find the article. Next day another
was dispatched on the same mission, and the next
day another and so on, until the retail merchant
became convinced that there was san extraordinary
