POLICEMAN SHOT.
Quarreling over the spoiIs.


About two o'clock yesterday afternoon, two
lrishmen, named james Hogan and Luke Gray,
were making some inquiries on College Hill for a
friend whom they wished to see; and in their trsF
els they came to the residence Of John Corbett
Esq. Some accounts state that these n1en used
abusive language TO Mr.. COrbetts family; others,
that they simply made inquiries for the person
they wished to find. BE this as it may, difficulty
occurred, and two policemen, n. J. Watson and
Joseph Frame. arrested the parties Subsequent
ly, The policemen began to dispute as to who made
the arrest. From wcrds they proceeded to blows.
Frame, we understand, gave the first blow; and
Watson, after making some resistance, drew his
revolver and shot Frame in the side The ball
passed through the lungs, and caused severe
if not fatal wound. Ii is thought he cannot re-

CHRISTMAS Day N THE CITY AND SUBURBS
The 18th day Of December was observed here very
much in the usual way, accompanied, of course
with the usual festivities carousals, and. casual-
ties
The latter however were quite numerous; and
large number Of arrests were made by the
authorities. As an instance Of the recklessncss
which prevailed, We may mention, that into the
parlor Of one Of our ncquantances in the heart Of
the city, n ball was fired night before last break
ing the glass. and just missing the head Of one Of
the occupants.
A party Of men went out on the Murfreesboro
Pike for the purpose Of practicing at pistol shoot

aud while engaged in their practice, n man named
Thomas Hancock fired a rife. from the premise
Of Major Lewis. some ten OF Twelve times appar-

abdomen. Hancock was arrested, and taken be-
fore Squire Meacham yesterday, The case was
continued till Thursday. required bonds being

Our-ReiafiOns with France.

The departure for Europe of the chief
secretary of the French Legation, as con-
nected with recent developments of the Mex
lean question, attracts considerable attention.
The correspondent of the New York Com
mereidi says:
The temper Of Congress and the growing
popular sympathy with the Liberal cause in
Mexico, together with the appointment of
General Logan, has led to communications
between Count M0ntholon and the State De
partment, which resulted in sending a mes
sage to the Empesor for definite instructions.
u is stated that the rithdrawdl of the French
Legation from Washington wiH take place in

States Minister TO the MerieGa Republic ~

diately. Measures of compromise between
the Cabinet and Senate are now under de-

Dispatches were received from Head
Centre Stephens yesterday, and so important
were they considered by President OMahony
that he at once ordered them before General
Sweeny, or those who represent what is
called the Senate, with a view to have their
requirements complied with at once. The
nature of the dispatches has not as yet been
made public. n.

anarchy which. prevails even in that portion

Some additional correspondence passed
about the beginning of the month, between
Gen WeitzeI, commanding the U. S. troops
ON the Rio Grande, and Gen. Mejia, Impe-
rial commander at Matamorss, each urg-
ing grievances inflicted by the other. Gen.
WeitzeI alleges that Gen. Mejia on mere
suspicion arrested and imprisoned innocent
American citizens, and informs him by
direction of Gen. Sheridan, that If such out
RACES are repe Sted no personal apologies in
lieu of his bad Il. 18th will be expected, and
strongly intimates that he will be authorized
to settle matters by lt{nrce of arms
Gen Mejias eompIa int is the old one of
aid and comfort given to the Mexican Re
publicans by Gen. Weitzei"s troops. Ten.
Weitzel says he is ordered to say that here
after when any garrison under Mejia's COM
maad is in state of siege, no supplies OF
any kind will be permitted to be sent to
such garrison from this side Gen. Sheridan
considering it would be less a violation of
neutrality against the legitimate authority
in Mexico 70 send powder to such garrison,
and that he is ordered to stop all intercourse
with any garrison during the progress of
siege except that which humanity shall die
tate.
The correspondent further says, that prob
abilities of an active interfeEence by the Unit
ed States inthe affairs of Mexico is the one
thing thought of IN Brownsville. and the
impression is very strong that this will be
delayed but a short time certainly. The
tone of the Inperiaiists is such as would
warrant the conclusion that no great pains
will be taken to avoid a rupture.

RAILROAD MArrERs.-A great deal ofinconven-

with the Western & Atlantic road in consequence
Of the negligence Of that company in Transporting
freight from CHATTANOOGA. The Nashville 4 Chat
yanooga road suffers greatly from this cause. and
the interests of other railroads connected with !,
suffer also. We learn that freight sometimes re-
mains in Chattanooga for three or four weeks.
without any attention Whatever. A little energy
displayed in this matter, on the part of the rosd
referred TO. would be Of great advantage TO more
than one railroad company. Not only do the
ronds suffer from this cause hut the interests Of
our commercial men sending freight South are
very much injured; and many kinds of business
arr seriously intcrfered with from this cause alone
