BLOODY Escousrrs.-At ten O'Clock

BLOODY EycoUHrER.-At ten. O'Clock
this morning, a real bloody encounter
occurred between two Cinnamon, at the
house of a Chinese doctor, east side Of
Main street, opposite Odd Fellows Hall,
which came near proving fatal to both
parties. 1t was certainly quite sanguin-
airy for a little while, Judging BY the
amount of blood on each one, and the
smell Of gunpowder in the room. It
was some time before white men ven-
tured into the premises, as the reports
of pistol shots and the breaking Of win
dow glass evidently warned people to
"staud from under" Major John Y.
Paul, and some others, however, as
soon as they heard Of the scrape, dashed
into the premises, and still found the
antagonists kicking and beating each
other, and they were separated, when
Marshal Began marched both Of them
to the tation-house-one Of the COM
batsnts especially presenting a startling
appearance, his face and head being
covered with gore. The Chinese doctor
was the only witness to the fight, and
he related to US the particulars. He
saws that "Joe"-who is a servant
at the Gold Hill Exchange, quite intelli-
gent and a trustworthy Chinaman-
came to the place and wished to hire
the other Chinaman as a cook. The
Chinaman answered him in Il very gruf
and angry manner, when Joe remarked
that perhaps he wanted to fght2 Some
other provoking remarks passed, when
the cook Chinaman grabbed a large,
heavy iron pestle fused for p~owdering
verbs in an iron mortar, audistruck Joe
a terrible blow on the top Of the skull,
from which the blood, we afterwards
saw, flowed very freely over his face.
4 pistol was then used by one OF them,
but which one we have been unable to
find out; Joe says it was fred by the
other man. Two shots were fired, but
neither hit the mark-some OF the wad-
ding. however, stuck in the cotton OF
Joe's wrapper, and set it on hre, which
would indicate that the ball came very
close TO somebody. When the persons
entered the place, Joe had his antagon-
is, down, and "doing his level best IN
the way Of kicking him in the stomach
and breast. Joe says the other not only
struck him with the pestle, but also shot
him. We expect the matter will be
fully investigated by Judge Hall.
