An AFFAIR OF HONOR HIGHLY CoLonED.
We have heard some few particulars re-
garding an "atiar of HONOR" in which two
negroes were the principals, and which
occurred near the Chickahominy, few
miles below Richmond, on Saturday last.
1t appears that both laid claim to the same
wife, and being unable to adjust the diff
Guilty peacefully, mutual agreement was
made to settle it with weapons. Accord
ingly they met on the chosen field at the
appointed hour, both armed with shot
guns, and after arranging few prclimi-
naries, each took deliberate aim and fired
at the other. The consequence was that
one received slight wound in the arm,
while the other was unhurt. in this affair
the usual adjuncts of second. and surgeons
were dispensed with. We have yet no
definite account of the way in which the
contested" wife was disposed cf.

Mr.. MCCARTHY IN TROUBLE.-We learn
from reliable source that Florence Nc.
Carthy, who has Of late made himself
rather notorious by the advancement OF
fanatical political opinions in the negro
Baptist Convention, has met with rather
rough treatment at the hands Of number
of indignant females on Oregon Hill. II
appears that on Saturday, while pursuing
his way towards his pastorage, on Oregon
Hill, his proximity was discovered by the
women living in that neighborhood, and
they Immediately gave him the chase.
"Catch him. Murther the Haythen-the
dirty spalpeen-the Turk Hang de man
vat says de niger bees as goot as he is,"
and many other similar expressions, warned
the reverend aspirant for congressional
honors that he was not in pleasant
quarters. The warning either came
too late or he neglected to heed it, for
before he could make much hcadway he
was in the hands Of the AmaZons. BY
them he was pretty severely chastised,
and would have been thrown into the
canal but that he wigglcd himself out of
the hands Of his captors, and by making
/ a good run Of it, escaped being treated to
the luxury of cold duck.
Yesterday morning he was locked out
from his congregation, and was not allowed
to ofIicate. Poor man, what must he do 7
He has knocked, and it has not been OPEN
ed unto him. His race has beon run he
can labor no longer here, and he has now
to seek some haven of rest and refuge.
Bosting," perhaps, is the only place that
will contain him, and if he be doomed to
go there, may the fates take care of him.
NEGROES on HORSEBACK.-On yester.
day between IL and o'clock a good deal
of CONSERVATION was created in the neigh.
borhood of the old African Church, on
Broad street, by three drunken negroes,
who rode their horses on the sidewalk to
the imminent danger of many ladies and
children passing at the time. They after.
wards rode at John Gilpin speed up Broad
street as far as Eighth, up Eighth to Mar.
shall, and up Marshall to Third. Police
men Sutherland and Smith were all this
time in full pursuit, and succeeded in cap.
turing the whole party at the stable on
Third street, from which they had origi.
.nally started. They gave their names as
John Henry Stewart, Frank Anthony, and
Thomas Tinsley. On the way to the sta.
tion-house Stewart became very insulting
made stout resistance, and finally struck
policeman Sutherland a severe blow will
his fist. Tom Tinsley also undertook tc
dictate to the policemen the manner il
which they were to be carried, and it was
found necessary to use some force upor
both. They were, however, all safely
landed in the station hOuSe from whence
they will be taken this morning to the
Mayors Court to answer for their mis-.
deeds.

| have been made since our last report:
Jim Brown, negro, for stealing pocket.
book containing four dollars and half
from Polly Dickinson.
John Harris, negro, for unlawfully as
saulting and beating Anna Jones.
Justina Shank, little siXtcen-ycar old

ARREST OF A HORSE -THTEr.-On Friday
night last the stable of Mr.. George Taylor,
in King William county, was broken open,
and valuable horse stolen. The thief was
! tracked to Richmond, when it was asccr-
| tanned that the horse was sold at auction
on Saturday by Mr.. George V. Case, in
whose hands it had been placed by a negro
named Jackson Fry, hailing from City
| Point, who received the proceeds of the
sale. Soon afterwards Fry was arrested
| on Main street by Il citizen who had been
informed of the theft and knew the negro.
! On reaching the station-house he made Il
full confession of his guilt, and attributed
| the act to an instigation of the devil ;
which is quite likely. The citizen who
| bought the horse was considerably cha
grincd from the fact that he had paid his
money and lost it, and then had to give up
the animal. The matter will be inveSti-
gated by the Mayor this morning.
ATTEMPT 70 SwINDLE.-On Friday last
Mr.. 7. II. Hoy, agent for Mr.. X. j. White,
coal dealer, sent n negro with load of
coal for gentleman residing on Marshall
near First street. The negro, upon reach
ing that locality, saw 4 genteel-looking
white man standing on the sidewalk, and
asked him where the gentleman for whom
the coal was intended lived. The man
asked the negro for his ticket, and upon
| looking at it, remarked, "ThiS coal is for
me, and you have brought it to the wrong
place want it on Brook avenue" He
| then conducted him to the latter street.
Upon reaching it he saw a gentleman
whom he knew, and attempted to sell the
coal to him at five dollars. The gentle
man did not wish to buy, as he had just
supplied himself. He then tried to sell it
at four dollars. The gentleman then de-
sired to see the ticket, in order that he
might find out the quantity Of coal offered
| for sale. This the fellow refused to show,
saving that there was Il ton offered. Find
ing at last that he could not sell, and that
he was likely to be discovered at his trick,
he turned heel and ran for his life. He
has not been heard of since.
