RATHER ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Miles A
Slow CoAcH-The escape Of the Washing
ton Irving yesterday, rather reflects upon the
activity and smartness Of Gen. Miles, who,
although he may be Yankee, has been rather
outwtted in this affair. The account we
gave Of the race yesterday was full, up to the
time Of our going to press. Either Gen. Miles
orders were uncertain, or else were misun-
derstood, and not carried out or the force he
detailed was incompetent for the service on
which they were sent Olney Of the Irving,
seems to have laughed at Gen. Miles's beard.
set him at complete defiance, made his escape
from all interceptors, and being on the "high
and free and open sea" has gone on his way
rejoicing. The chase seems to have been ex-
citing, but General Miles and his Hancock
lost the race.

A Row.--Last night, about eleven o'clock,
the peaceful citizens in the vicinity of Inoia
wharf were alarmed by cries of murder.
Two. men bringing in their lighter, ran
against small oyster boat and stove it in,
whereupon the oystermen pitched into the
lightermen, and conflict ensned, in which
one of them was severely cut in the head.
The recklessness of these negroes is proverhial,
and they will have to be more careful how
they injure the property of others, in running
in the dark. The negro hurt ran up towards
Main street, alarming the neighborhood with
his frightful cries. .sz...,=-z.-
