FAMILY FRAcAs.lConsiderable difficulty
has for some time existed between two
families living in the outskir6 Of our
"beloved" city in regard TO . pile Of wood
belonging to ens Of them, and many an
alteration have they had in regard to it
and the matter at times threatened 70
Guido Schleswig- 81 ,lstein in its complex
tiles. 1t appears that the owner Of the
wood has frequently noticed thsA1k was
daily diminishing II fearful rate-fear-
full becaass Of the present high price of
fuel-and had also, when calling u his
neighbors. noticed that the wood lying
around the stove resembled very closely
in quality that Of his pile. He therefore
accused the man Of appropriating, but
nothing resulted from the accusation ex.
cept high words, until Monday evening
when affairs we're most suddenly brought
to = focus. The owner Of the pile had
ueCu ooWu soNu 0uSh y fobuex iAb6 00uf
mo doubt admiring the well.lighted
streets aud perhaps trying the 6rmness
of the lamp posts-when on returning
home and nearing his fuel, thought he
discovered some one carrying it off. Re-
solving to "come strategy" ON the thief,
he laid down on the ground and crawied
up in the rear of the pile and on looking
over saw his neighbor filling an old blan-
ket With the hickory. SEEKING billet be
leveled the thief upon the ground. who.
uttering cry Of surprise as he fell, woke
the better halves Of the two contestaats,
who were soon on the ground and ready
for the melee, their costume approaching
very nearly the situation of Flora Nc
Flimsy literally construed. The fight
commenced, and when our reporter left
they had the neighborhood aroused.

The Richmond Enquirer thinks 1t both ab-
eurd and wicked, In the United States Gov
crument, to prescribe oaths of allegiance to
CONQUERED rebels. It thinks it a1sun1, be-
cause Of course the Confederntes intend to
yrtakc Norfolk, Memphis end New Orleans;
and ,r<ek<d, because it tempts men to take
oaths which they do not intend to keep, but
as soon MS the Confederate rule Is set up in
place Of ours their allegiance is to be imme-
dintely transferred to TINT .,
The Enquirer Is 4oTgetfu1, as 1t always WIS,
and an Its kin-forgetfnl Of fixed fncts It
talks ns II this war, was a game Of shuttle
cock. and tho armies Of each side were alter
uptcly advancing and fcceding. It forgets
that because the Confelcratcs hold city to-
dsv. II Is no indication that they will hold It
ncxt week. They ence had Norfolk, but We
t:ncycr expect them to have it again. They
had New Orleans till one day Old Sea Dog
Farragut went mp there and pulled 1t out of
their hands. They hnd Memphis till 1t slipped
out OF their fingers. They have Mobile to-day
but our calculation is to 60 and get it They
have Richmond, and have held on to It pretty
well, but arc destined to lose 1t. They have
Cl,atlceton and Savannah, after fashion !;
but our gucss is They will come to us by
and by,
And when the United States get place,
thcy expect to keep 1t from that
time. If you wish to see what
their expectations are, look upon
tho map md compare boundaries now with
those OF 1861 They had then thirteen States,
.:nnd the Territories, south Of tho Kansaa
line; either in their absolute keeping, or In
such attitude as tllat they regarded them as
safc. To-day the rebellion is practically shut
mn In tic States Of South Virginia, the two
Carolinus, Georgia, Alabama and Eastern
p Mississippi. They have, it is true, the most
of Teras in possession; SO that 1t is needful
Ia keen small force there, to neutraltze thai
mower: But It is helpless to aid the rea9
Coufederacy, now cribbed in tue states
named, and these rinundd round with strate
c;c noInts in the hands ofthe Union forces
Now VIC never expect to see the realm O
Dixie grow my. larger. It Is destined TO g1"a
less, speedily and rapidly as we hope, bnt q

IT 1vntd, therefore bc folly, and throwing
