Shortly after tie termination OF the cclebra.

tcrnoon, terrible afray occurred near tie IIirons
House which 1t is feared may terminate fatally to at
least TWO parties, one member Of the Provost Guard
Of this city and the other a coored of about sixty
years Of age. Owing TO the great excitement prevail
ing at the mc it was impossible to get at the origin of
the Giay therefore shall have 10 state facts that we
saw transpire. Two skedaddlers, filed with liquor,
and excited somewhat IN argument in reference
20 recent war news, got to blows when one struck his
Antagonist with sharp instrument IN the face nearly
putting his eye out. Considering that they were both
Yankees, and runaways at that the popular opinion
was non-inieryentiOn.
Shortly afterward Robert Griffin Comrnissary Ser.
geant OF the Provost Guard in this city and negro.

Several friends of Griffin also interlered, aud
general row was imminent Tic two eOmbatants woe
separated and the negroes went toward tie ferry dock
Griffin followed them. and another conhi; ensued neal
the brow of the hill. Robinson, armed with large
billet of wood struck Griffin terrible blow on the
head inhcting il is feared fatal woand, cutting Lie
head open the depth Of about two inches and evcT
in length Griffin sank senseess TO the earth and WA
taken up apparently dead and covered with blood. Tie
was carried into adjoining building, where h.s
wounds were dressed by DIS. Donneily, AuseE, and
