STREET FIGHT.-The corner of Twelfth
and Main streets was the scene of lively
mill yesterday morning. The belligerent
parties were two well-known citizens
one the senior partner. of well-known
firm, and the other salesman in whole
sale dry goods house.
The cause of the difficulty is involved in
mystery. The first glance of our ubiqui-
tous reporter took in scene painful to his
sublime sense of dignity. The contestants
were pegging away with fist and stick in
silence, but with evident determination to
settle the difficulty then and there. The
blows fell hot and heayy-one party adj
vancing and the other retiring, until a
temporary halt was made against lamp
post, when, after indiscriminate pummel-
ling, there was a tumble Oh the ground,
and the combatants were at length sepa-
rated, both being more or less bruised and
bloody.
A large crowd collected; the fight was
lively, and afforded a subject Of converse
ton on Main street for the rest of the day.

"These Italian railroad cars are without
stoves or fuel of any description, but are
most genially and delightfully."- warmed by

of about three feet each in length, filled
with hot water, and as they gradually cool
en- route arc changed for those which are

the light fantastic toe." After about hall
the programme had been gone through

raise the wind thereby. The moduS ope-
randi is this A fellow steps into store
and shows ring, asking if it be gold, and
says he found it outside" The green
ones generally pronounce it good, and buy
it for about fifty cents. If they will take
the trouble to send on to Philadelphia
they can secure one hundred and forty; ;tou'
of the same sort for the same amount. A
correspondent remarks: :" A fellow tried
it on me this morning, but was bitten by
travelling triker some years ago, ano
don't bite good SINCE"

FIRE IN HANovER-ROBBERY AND INCEN-
D1ARY.-On Thursday night the barn Of
Judge Meredith, in Hanover county, was
set on fire and entirely destroyed, with all
its contents, consisting of wheat and cot

a wagon from a neighboring house, and
loaded it with plundcr, which they sue
ceeded in carrying off. The loss, it is
thought, will equal 81 900.

The howl Of rage which is sent up by every
Democratic organ, from the New York Woria
down to the little rebel sheets Of the Cecil DEM
"rre' class, speaks plainly of the desperation
and lear created by tue solid stand which Con
Gress has assumed on every leading question,
since its meeting. They see in its action the
triumph Of the reconstruction laws, and the
final overthrow Of the rebels Of the South. the
only hope 81 the Democratic party of pro!org-
ed existence. its defeat on reconstruction, set.
ties the question Vi negro suffrage in the South,
and insures Republican ascendency in that
quarter. Inc settlement Of the question ofman.
mood suffrage in the last slave States, virtually
settles II everywhere. Tie tyranny OF prejudice
exerted by the Democratic party over the color
cd man must cease, when no stands armed with
the ballot, and appeals to prejudice and the
baSof passions is tho last hope OF that party,
whose motto has ever been rule or ruin.
