dnother Bloody Deed.-On Saturday after
noon two soldiers belonging to the 4th Louis
lana Battalion were passing III company along
Main street, between I'D and 9th, when
from'some cause AT present unknown, one OF
them thrust knife INTO the others breast in
ilicting Il severe wound. Inc injured man
whose name is John Dowdy, was conveyed to
one OF the hospitals III the vicinity aud Ill
formation of the occurrence having been com
municated to Capt. GlbbeS, of the Government
prisons, he caused the arrest Of the soldier
who committed the deed, and he was handed
police. He gave his name as Zach. Burnett
1t was reported yesterday morning that Dow
dy WAS dead, but on inquiry last evening we
learned that he was III an Improving condition
The case will probably undergo investigation
to-day at the Mayors Court

The Lar and f1f Faro BdRks.--For near
~ three days last week the Hastings Court
Of the city of Richmond was occupied with
the trial of John A. Worsham, presented by
the Grand Jury for permitting "a game com
monty called faro bank to be exhibited on
his premises The Court and jury listened
with becoming patience to the examination of
witnesses, aud the case was elabofately ar
gued by the learned counsel on both sides.
At a late hour on Saturday evening the jury
retired to consult, but found it impossible to
agree upon verdict-were discharged-and
the case was continued to the next term of
the Court, the defendant giving bail for his
appearance. Altogether, this legal demonstra-
ton against the faro banks of this city, initiated
by the Mayor and the police, some weeks
ago has turned cot to be a complete farce
We have no means of ascertaining the precise
number of these institutions in Richmond but
will assume that there are hundred. There
may be more, or there may be less. Two or
three are entered by the police, some contra
band articles seized, and legal proceedings are
commenced against few men of the gambling
fraternity. One unfortunate sport, who
happened to be caught in the act, being minus
the means OF enlisting the efforts of able law
yers i'll his behalf, has been sent to Jail for
twelve months and two or three well KNOWN
citizens have forked over small fine which
the law imposes upon amateur gamesters but
the leading cases still chang fire" in the
Courts, and nobody has been benefited except
a few legal gentlemen, an exception which we
do not regret The game goes on, for aught
we know to the contrary, with us much yigor
and profit AS ever The moral atmosphere
still reeks with the faint of gambling helis, "
and the metropolis of the South makes 40 ad
vance towards that condition of hlissiul puii
ty so confidently predicted after the occur
rcnces OF that eventful Saturday night. We
think the gamblers hold all the trumps aud all
the honors, and the municipal authorities
might we'll give up the game.

SiW Secedthg.-The Grand Division Of the
sons of Temperance. of North Carolina, at lts
recent meeting, adopted an able report an
nounciDy its withdrawal FROM the jurisdiction
OF the National Division of North america
and declaring purpose to cooperate with
others in the formation of d National Division
in the South. We deem t due to the jurisdic-
tons III the Confederate States To say that they
have had nothing to do with tie old organi1a-
ton embracing the Northern States since the
fall OF 1850. Since that period, all necessary
action of /. national character has been per
formed under the direction o. our townsman
Col. Thomas j. Evans, who. was the highest
active officer in the SoUphcrn Couiederacy
when the separation took place. We ask at
tentiOn to Il call Tor a meeting of the Grand
Division iii this city on the 9th of January
next, when we hope the attendance will be
numerous, and such steps be taken as will bring
about a speedy and permanent organization for
the Southern States

TIE Sto6bt@g AGa.r-Daniel Workman
and Cornelius Collins, who were arrested on
Friday afternoon upon charge of stabbing
Daniel Sullivan, were arraignsd before the
Mayor on Saturday. Captain Wilkinson
stated that Sullivan pointed out Workman at
the station house as the man who stabbed
him, but no other evidence was then in court
Sullivan had been carried to the poor house
hospital, and 1t was stated that his injuries
were not dangerous. Workman remarked to
the Mayor that he did the stabbing that Sui
Ivan struck him several times aud refused to

spoken favorably of the artistic talent of this
