Oisaer srst William u. HsIwood We're examined be-
lore Con missioner Sands, the first charged with
purchasing from a Yankee desefter one nty -loilsr
greenback for three hundred dollars Confederate
non and the latter with selling two pairs u
MN shoes TO two desertsys Gr twenty-fve and
thirty-iye dollars each in Federal money. The
charge in both cases clearly nids out and they
were sent on for further examination b~fore Judge
Halybafton. In the instance of Mr.. Harwood ir
wss proven that he was ignorant of the Law pro-
hibit1n8 dealing in greesltaeks; that he waa very
reluctant TO take that kind of money at all andnat
he osly did 50 because he needed il 10 send rel
atlye who was prisoner at the North Coinssis-
sioner Sands therefore put has bai asi low figure

LOCAL MATTERS.

HOSTILE MEETIse.-About half-past o'clock
yesterday morning duel took place OH DilPs farm
about two miles from the city, ON the line Of the
Central railroad, between Mr.. John NJ. Daniel, Of
the Richmond Examiner, and Mr.. E. G. Elmore,
Treasurer of the Confederate States. The weapons
used were the ordinary smooth-bore duelling pis-
tols, and the distance was ten PAGES. Mr.. Elmore
was the challenging party, and, in accordance with
previous arrangements, each side was accompanied
by one second, a surgeon and another advisory
friend. Mr.. III. Rives Pollard, of the Examiner, acted
the immediate friend of Mr.. Daniel, and Lieu
tenant Thomas Taylor, of South Caralina, held the
same position towards Mr.. Elmore. At the first
fire neither of the combatants were hurt, whcreupon
Mr.. Elnore demanded another shot, which put an
end to the hostile meeting, Mr. Daniel being struck
in the calf of the right leg, few inches below the
knee. In the opinion of his surgeon, the wound is
not considered dangerous one, though it is accom-
panied with great pain
The difficulty originated from paragraph which
published in the local column OF the Eraniiney,
the lst instant, alleging that heavy defalcaton
had been discovered in the Treasury Department,
and announcing the arrest Of the Confederate States
detective, F. w. Boyd, charged with attempting to
bribe Robert w. Craddock, detective i'll the Trea-
sIry Department into silence respecting the conduct
of high official i'll that department In connection
with the defaication Subsequent to the publication
OF this piece, correspondence ensued between the
parties the nature Of which has not yet been made
public.
Late yesterday afternoon officers Kelly and Perrin
arrested Mr.. Elmore and Mr.. Pollard, and carried
them before the Mayor, who committed the former
to Jail, but admitted the latter to bail in the sum
$1,000. The Mayors refusal to bail Mr. Eimor,
was based upon the ground that there was strone
reason on his part to believe that he Mr.. E. hac
already shot Mr.. Daniel. Mr.. Pollard was arrestea
and bailed not because OF the part he had sustained
in the affair which took place between the parties IL
the morning, but for the purpose of preventing
hostile meeting, which, it believed i'll pro
cess of negotiation between that gentleman ane
some one whose name has not been made known.
