AFFRtys IN RArJpaS PAHIsH.-From the Alex
andria Democrat, of Wednesday last, we extract
the following:
We regret to learn that on Saturday evening
last fatal reneonre occurred at Lamothe's
Bridge on Bayou Rapides, between Gen. G. NJ.
Long and Col. ]. Il. Dawson, in which the latter
was shot by the former. Col. Dawson lived but q
few hours dying the same night. We understand
that Gen. Long considered himself impelled to the
act by unjustihable interference with his domestic
affairs, and fomentng his domestic troubles by
Col. Dawson. Judge Chaplin was immediately
sent for by NJ. Ryan, Esq, the counsel of Gen.
Long, to come down and sit in the case.
Again. on Sunday evening, in our town occurred
one of those serious atirays, much to be deglnreG
in all communities. Dennis Sullivan and bis clerk
D. T. Whidden, had some misunderstanding which
ended in fight, in which Sullivan was badly
stabbed with sword cane by Whidden. He re
ceived three bad and dangerous wounds, one il
the lungs and two in the bowels. Whidden has
been arrested and lodged in jail, ana the matter
will be investigated by Judge Chaplin in few
days. 1t is but proper that we should state tina
Whidden AYERS that he acted purely in selfdefepce
| A reliable gentleman of Rapides informs us tha
Mr.. Dawson was cruelty murdered in cold blood
| shot down while travelling peacefully and marine
along the road, and that the progocation to til
deed was of the most trding character. Both pa
ties were wealthy planters.

he Will show US some Of the sights Of war before

Oar Commercial Recognition by Spain.
In the Charleston Mercury we find the following


letter: .- il,
- ~. M471Sz AZ, September 2 1861.
Tathe Editor. Of the Charleston Nereura- Being
somewhat cat off from communication with your
city, may possibly be agreeable to you to receive
such Information as may prove nsefa to your COM
nnaity whenever an opportunity offers hence n
will therefore advise you of anfoccuFrence which,
thoHgh provided for in the law of nations, never
theEess shows the friendly disposition toward orr
Confederacy on the part of Spain. On the 2lst
ult the Confederate sloop Noank, Gardiner master,
arrived at this port from Charleston with cargo
of rice, and she had scarcely cast her anchor when
the Northern United States Consul called upon the
Governor of this city, demanding that the vessel
should not be allowed to enter at the Custom house.
His ExeellehGy requested that the demand should
be made in writing, which was done by the Lincoln
agent. The request being forwarded. Immediately
to the Captain-G General for advice, the answer of
this official was asf0hows: s- te& &4

Arrests In Baltimore.

The dodge police Of Baltimore, on Saturday last,
arrested twenty-five young men, four small boys,
and three wagons, all Of which were supposed to.
be en- route to Virginia and freedom. We copy
the following from the Baltimore American of Mon
day. in reference to the seizure of wagon load Of
contraband:
A day or two since, the officer who made the ar
rest learned that Mr.. Williamson had been engaged
| by certain parties to construct wagon with false
| TOP and bottom, with a view of smuggling articles
| contraband of war for the Confederate forces. A
| strict watch was kept and at the tiu1e aboVe-men
| toned, the accused was in the wagon, to which
4 were attached pair of. excellent horses, about
| leaving his shop, when the officer took him into
custody. AT first he declared entire innocence Of
| any improper proceeding or Intention and invited
| an examination. Soon as his daughter, about Z
4 years old, who was in the wagon at the time, was
conveyed to the dwelling of mr. Williamson, j u.s.
tce Logan proposed that the wagon should be
driven back to Wiliamson's establishment, and
! there undergo an examination, which was aceeded
to. The Justice made this suggestion in order to
save the feelings Of the accused in case he should
receive an honorable discharge. !. .--zty
1 The examination was held in the shop of the
4 accused and commenced by cutting of the oil
cloth flooring, when plank covering was discov-
cred about six inches above the lower flooring,
which was half circular in form, and being held
firmly to its place by screws, which penetrated q
4 lining of hoop iron. Soon as this was removed,
the cnntraband goods were discovered, when the
1 accused, exclaimed; /" My Godt am 9 ruined
4 man. The articles consisted IN part OF eighteen
large size navy pistols three or four pieces of gold
lace, and a package of letters. Upon each side Of
4 the wagon were extra pieces of wood SO contriyed
as to. conceal other goods, and the top was also
double, with ample space between for the storage
of O. considerable quantity Of light parcels. Each
pistol was carefully wrapped up slngly, and sup
Piled with molds, balls and other fixtures. They
are such as are sold for twentyfour dollars each.
AS for the gold lace and bullion, it is estimated to
lhe worth about twasthousand dollars The letters

ent of the Petersburg Express says: 4, .,.,r
| We may state a fact we learned yesterday,
which we venture to do with the promise that. we
do not wish. ,undulY to parade the name OF Col.
Dimmock before the public. At the commence
ment Of the present war, there were found at the
armory in this city some 240 pieces of cannon OF
various calibres. About 200 of them (6-peunders1
have bsen sent to the field of strife, and have done
good service The remainder, forty, consisting OF
| 4 pouader Gronl guns. were deemed useless.
| few days since usder the direction of Col D., one
of them was bored out and riaed. The trial showed
| thas they were equal to Parrot guns of pound
calihre in all respects as to distahce powell etc.,
| eta. They wsse indeed zaost excellent pieces.
| On learning this fact, verified by the most ndubi-
| table experiments. the GoTernment ordered all of
the forty 10 be rtied and prepared for immediate
use, which is now being done. The vafue OF this
armament added to thBa now already in the field.
cannot be counted in dollars. As sturdy defenders
of the public veal, handled by willing hands and
brave hearts, they are inessimable. An of the
cannon alluded to were ordeFea to be sold by the
Legislature, about six years ago, as old iron. As
such, they were worth a half cent per pound,
and the whole 2A0 would have brought about, at
'hat date, weighing on average about 500 pounds
each, $500 into the public Treasury. It would
seem fortutous that they were not sold. They are
worth their weight (almost) in gold.
} A Coon REpLY.-The editor of the Lynchburg
: Republican, who is with Gen. Floyds forces in
j Western Virginia, tells the following story:
e A few days after the fight at Skerry, near
# Charleston, kanawha, two three Yankee officers
