Excitement at AIbany--Duel on Foot

ALBANY, Feb. 2S.-The Capitol is full OF excite
ment to-day. In the Senate, yesterday, there was
a bitter conversation between Messrs. Lawrence ce
and j. Mcleod Murphy. In the course of the de-
bate Mr.. Lawrence plainly intimated that Mr.. Muir
ply had told direct falsehooh. Mr. Murphy, full
of fury, declared that he would have the satistac-
ton of a gentleman for the foul imputation, and
retired to consult with his friends. This morning,
finding it impossible to contain himself under the
accusation of Mr.. Lawrence, Mr. Murphy prepared
challenge to mortal combat and had it duly trans
mtted to the offending Senator. The affair occa-
sions considerable talk about the Capitol, but no.
body anticipates serious result. By sending the
challenge Mr.. Murphy renders himself liable to
an Indictment for q GRAVE nffence.

CoMMUYICABILITY or INsANiTY.-M. Baillarger
says that there are at present in La Saltpetriere
two sisters who brought on the same day,
with exactly the same symptoms of insanity. The
elder is widow, the younger is married The
former imagined that her brother-in-law wished to
poison her; and she persuaded her sister, who lived
with her, into the same belief. To guard against
the effects of the poison the patients set to drink
ing brandy, and it from this time their insanity
became more and more pronounced. The Younger
who was under the care of NJ. Bsillarger, admitted
that up to this time her husband had been yery
kind to her; and that, during the eight years they
had been married, she had no cause to complain Of
him-but she is not the less convinced that he has
made more than hundred attempts to poison her.
In another instance, NJ Baillarger has known the
husband to become insane under the influence and
by the effect of the annoyance which his insane
wife inflicted on him

son had been sick. DR.. Crawford, of the medical
staff, had been quite i'll, but had recovered. The
command was perfectly healthy and in the best of
spirits. The term of enlistment of some of the men
had expired but they had resolved to remain with
their comrades until the termination of the difficult
ties. Great activity prevailed at the different works
around the fort The batteries at Cumming
point had been extended, and four new embrasures
commenced. These are, apparently, for heavy
guns bearing on the main gate at the rear of the
work. At old Fort johnson, on James Island, ac-
tive work had been renewed on the mortar battery.
But few vessels were in port, and these in passing
the fort displayed foreign flags. A large command

were landing materials and men every day.-PLH.
