Hon. Stevenson Archer.

A correspondent Of the Baltimore Sun
pays the following tribute to Hon. Stew
enson Archer, lately elected to Congress
in place of John L. Thomas, of Balti-
more. Mr.. Archer is native of Hartford
county, and we happen to have known
him well enough years ago to know that
he well deserves the encomium passed upon
him. He is an able lawyer, with fine
and lucrative practice in his native coun-
ty. We congratulate him on his election.
The San correspondent says:
Stevenson Archer, just elected to Con-
gress, will represent the same district for
merly represented by his father and
grandfather, aud what is also remarka BILE,
all three are graduates of Princeton COL
lege.
In noticing this fact, it is source of
qualification to the friends of the newly
elected member that in him none uf the
noble qualities, mental and moral, of his
ancestors, have degenerated, and that we
have in him at least one example that an
honorable, ancient Maryland family still
maintains itself in public respect and con-
fdence. Mr.. Archer's father was chief
justice of Maryland. His grandfather
was DIR. John Archer, of Hartford, dis
tinguished patriot of the revolution, and
as remarkable for his eccentricities as for
his sterling virtues.-LancaSter Intel

FATAL AFFRAY.-Some time after twelve
o'clock on Saturday night last, a negro by the
name of Norris, shot and killed another negro by
the name of Bennett. 1t appears that on the
night in question, Norris, who keeps boarding
house for the negro workmen at Darlington, in
the lower part of this county, gave party, and
that in consequence of some disappointment
about the music, a negro, whose name we did
not learn, was employed to play for the occasion.
Some time after twelve o'clock, difficulty oc-

prietor, when some persons present interfered
and confined Norris in small room, from the
