count of this affair; -a r.aa
In the public dining hall of the Ma

table behind them, in company with
Hannigan, also of Indiana, arose from
his seat, approached Chandler in an ex
cited manner, demanding whether he re-
ferred to him, to which Chandler re-
piled, "Who are you, sir; don't know
you at the same time rising from his
chair Voorhees, replied, !" / am Voor-
hees of Indiana" and suiting his action
to the word, struck Chandler on the side
of the face The two then closed, and
the Senator was rapidly getting the bet
ter of Voorhees,, when Hannigan came to
the latters assistance with heavy milk
pitcher, snatched from the table, which
he broke on Chandler's head. The con-
tents of the pitcher splashed over the
whole company. Chandler was stunned
by the blow, and had not fully recovered
himself, when Hannigan dealt him a
second blow, with chair. At this
juncture parties present interfered, and
the belligerents were separated. Chan
dlers head was slightly cut by the
pitcher, and his shoulder and arm were
considerably bruised by the chair"

The ENRoLLMEYT.--Oh Friday last we
alluded to certain instructions issued to
enrolling officers, that all men between
the ages Of 20 and As, who have voted at
any town or district election, for any
town or district officers, or for any pur-
pose whatever, should be enrolled for
draft. The section of the amended En-
rollment Act, then referred to, reads as
follows; b3ahfl ad iIg
SEC. IS. And be it further enacted, That
no person of foreign birth shall, on ac-
count of alienage, be exempted from en-
rollment or draft under the provisions
of this act, or the act to which it is an
amendment, who has at any time as
sumed the rights of citizen by voting
at any election held under authority
of the laws of any State Or Territory, or
of the United States, or who has held
any office under such laws, or any of
them; but the fact that any such person
of foreign birth has voted or held, or
shall vote or hold, Office as aforesaid.
shall be taken as conclusive evidence
that he is not entitled to exemption from
military service on account of alienage.
1t was upon this section, we UNDER
stand, that the decision was made un-
der which the instructions mentioned
have been issued. aa6F m $50 q ID

EXCITEMENT IN MANCHEsTER.---Quite
an excitement was occasioned in the
Seminary at Manchester, last week, by
one Of the students-a young man from
Bradford, Massachusetts, who had been
given to expressing his disloyal senti-
ments in an offensive manner,-appear-
ing at the dinner table wearing "cop-
perhead PIN The other students chose
to regard it as an insult, and after din
ner was over, one of them, whose name
is Evans, informed the gentleman from
Bradford that he had worn that pin
about long enough, The latter imme-
diately drew knife from his side coat
pocket, already open, as it is stated, and
made a plunge at Evans. Other students
interfered and after short but sharp
struggle, succeeded in getting possession
of the knife as well as of the obnoxious
badge Evans coat and shirt sleeve
were cut through, and his arm was
slightly scratched. Another student
had his wrist slightly cut. No other
damage done. The letter from which
the above particulars are taken, says the
affair created considerable stir in Man
chester, and that the young man SO anx-
ious to display his copper, will probably
take his departure for home. l oii

vengcful displaying great courage in their wild

sagacity renders them tho moro dangerous as foes.

sharp driving hook of the mohout Elephants are
grcgsriou, and the average number in n herd is
about eight though they frequently form bodies of
fifty and even eighty in one troop. Each herd con-
ssts Of very large proportion of females, and they
are constantly met without single bull in their
number. ! have seen some small herds formed ex-
