stree Dimculty,

Adifhculty between Capt Henry Ashby and
a party of three men belonging to Col Looney's
regiment, occurred in the vicinity of the Lamar
House, in our city, ON yesterday evening, re-
sulting in the serious if not mortal wounding Of
a man by the name Of Shannon, of Col. Loon
ey's regiment. Capt. Ashby was also slightly
wounded in the calf of the leg by an accidental
d scharge Of his W pistol. There are so many
conflicting rumOrs ia regard to the affair, that
we forbear attempting to give any general state
ment of the facts. There seems to be no doubt
that Capt. Ashby was grossly insulted in the
first place, but whether he might not subse-
quently have avoided the difficulty, in an hon
orable manner, seems to be a mOoted question.
The most general opinion seems to prevail, how.
ever, that he did nothing more than any honora
bic man could have done under the circumstances

THR TRENT AFFAIR.

We Pint in full, this morning, the correspond

and the United States on the arrest Of the Con
Tolerate Commissioners, which We extract FROM

minister Of foreign affairs, NJ THouyENEL, to
the diplomatic representative Of his government
at Washington, NJ MERcTER.
A careful perusal Of Mr. "OmY CANNON +"
SEW ARDS letter to Lord LYONS shows a better
case for him than we had before supposed. He
acknowledges that the act Of WILKES was APP
proved by the United States government, mas
much as the Commissioners were plainly " con-
traband,o but he maintains the duty Of surren-
dering them upon the ground Of an irregularity
in their seizure, which could only have been
remedied by the retention Of the vessel carrying
them.
He makes an important disclosure which has
not before transpired, in the statement that the
United States government suggested at an early
day that Great Britain should herself take the
captured prisoners into a convenient port and
institute judicial proceedings there to try the
controversy. But" be adds by way of ex-
PLANTATION, "only courts of admiralty have juris-
dietion in maritime cases, and these courts have
formulas to try only claims to eontraband eAattds
but none to try claims concerning contraband
persons. These courts can entertain no proceed

memorable battle field of Belmont, and by his
superior skill, bravery and generalship gained a
most signal victory over a force largely superior

Confederate States army, we, the representatives
Of the 18th Tennessee volunteers, deem it our
duty to offer some token Of our esteem and high
appreciation of the military worth of our brave
commander therefore
Resolved, That the officers and soldiers of the
18th regiment realize in this unfortunate event
the loss of one of the most gallant, able and de-
serving generals in the service Of the Confede-
rate States-one Of whom the State of Tennes-
see has abundant reason to be p~roud-One whose
military fame, already brilliant with the laurels
Of eleven bloody fields, and lately signally vim

planning and the untiring patience and industry
exhibited in constructing the Notifications here
as well as the mastery discipline with which he
has ever governed his division, and a large por-
ton of the time the whole army of this post.
Resoiued, That We deeply deplore the loss of
Gen. Pillow, the late gallant commander of our
division, and shall ever remember with pride the
successes we have achieved under his able lead
ership, and cherish in grateful hearts the memory
Of his many kindnesses, both to his officers and
soldiers, in endeavoring to lessen the priyations
and hardships of the service.
ReSOt0ed, That in our opinion such talents
should not lie dormant therefore we hope the
President of the Confederate States will assign
Brigadier-G General Pillow a position to which his
conduct, merit and talents justly entitle him.
BesOIoed, That a copy of these proceedings be
sent to the Memphis APPEAL for publication,
and the Nashville and Richmond papers be re-
quested to copy.
