another, when challenge followed. Tie
principals, with seconds, repaired to
llutchinson's Island, when they blazed
away at each other, and succeeded in
wounding one of the seconds, bat escaped
without any bodily injury to themselves.
This occurrence satisfied the wounded
honor of the colored gemman, and the
whole party made friends. After drink
ing two bottles of whiskev and playing
several games o! seven'up, they returned
to the city, and were arrested at the
market Saturday evening, by n file Of
soldiers, and confined at The barracks.
