yesterday in the streets Of Baltimore, II
appears that Mr.. John S. Wise, son. some
| twenty years Of age, of General Wise left
| Richmond on Wednesday night for this
city, where Mr.. Pollard has taken up
ms residence, for the alleged purpose
OF chast'snS Mr.. Pollard for the language
used IN reference to his father. He was
accompanied by his cousin, Captain George
douglas Wise. These gentlemen reached
mere yesterday morning, and about half
past Ii o'clock repaired to the Maltbv
,ionSe, where Pollard was stopping, but
railing to meet him, they were in the act
oil leaving the hotel for the purpose of
seeking him elsewhere, when Mr.. Pollard,
VINO had been forcwarned, was seen coming
down Pratt street, accompanied by his
wife, who shortly before left the hotel. But
few words were exchanged, when both
parties drew pistols. Several shots were
tlred, but the only one hit was Pollard,
VINO received ball in the right arm near
the elbow, from the single-barrel Derrin-
ger Of John Preston Wise, inhicting pain
iu but not dangerous wound. Pollard
subsequently fired several shots, as did
also the Wises. Deputy Marshal Gray and
policemen Costello and Conroy then came
upon the scene, and at once took the Messrs.
" Use into custody and conveyed them to
the Central Police Station house, and Pol
lard was taken into the Maltby House,
where his wound was properly dressed. An
examination was appointed to take place
yesterday afternoon at o'clock, before
Justice Robinson. At that hour large
number Of witnesses and friends of the
parties were in attendance. Messrs. Jas.
\. l.. Mcclure, st. George W. Teackle,
and Charles Marshall, appeared as counsel
for the MeSSrs. Wise, and Mcssrs. A. M.
Rogers, deputy States attorney, John
Willis, and w. P. Smith for the prosecu-
ton. The counsel for the accused waived
an examination and expressed desire to
leave the matter for the consideration Of
the grand jury. The Justice fixed the bail
at $4,000 each-Dr. J. Pembroke Thorn
and ST. George W. Teacklo, Esq, becom-
ing their bondSmen. The Mcssrs. Wise
then left the station house, and, it is
understood, returned to Richmond last
evening. Mrs. Pollard was present at the
station-house as a witness. 1t is alleged
that during the firing Mrs. Pollard was be-
tween the parties, and it is somewhat
wonderful that she escaped injury. The
affair occasioncd considerable excitement
in the vicinity Of where it occurred, and
was the subject of conversation wherever
known in the city during the day.-Sun.

SPEECH FROM GENERAL SHERMAN.-At
the annual meeting in St. Louis of the
Army of Tennessee, held a few days since,
the regular annual address was delivered
by General Sherman, who alluded in a
rather philosophical view to the causes OF
the war, attributing it mainly to the acts
of extreme men North and South, but
looked hopefully to the future, and urged
every man to do his duty as his Judgment
prompted. He secuted the idea of an.
other attempt to destroy the nation and
if such an effort should be made, the next
northern invasion of the South would not
merely devastate it, but fructify and re-
generate it. There were no direct politi-
cal illusions made, but he took calm and
conservative view Of the present and tu-
ture condition of the country.

The REPEAL OF THE CoTToN TAx-THE
NATIONAL DEBT.-The Washington CORE
spondent Of the New York Tribune says
From the views Of members of Congress
who have been here recently, and others
now In the city, it appears that there is o
strong probability that the tax on cotton
will be repealed shortly after Congress
convenes. The pressure in favor Of this
repeal in all directions of the North from
influential citizens is almost irresistible.
From the same source it is learned
that there is also powerful influence il
favor of general funding scheme covering
the whole national debt, thus extending
the time Of payment Of our liabilities, and
in the mean time providing for its gradual
liquidation by ajudicious system of taxa
ton.
