pfsfurIpance I'm Hampton, Va.

FORTRESS MONROE, August 3l.-A row oc-
CURED late on Saturday night, in drinking
house in Hampton, between white man nam
ed Tibbetts and some eolored mcn,a negro nav
;pg first assaulted Tibbetts The latter knock
ed several of them down in turn as they came
at him, when he was forced to retreat MOP
pursuing. In ten minutes there were three or
four hundred blacks in the street, who attacked
I'll white persons venturing out. One young
man, Mr.. Lattimer, son of the deputy sheriff,
whom the negroes some months ago attempted
to mob stepped outside Of the door to the
fence in front of the house, when rush was
made for him, and he barely escaped INTO the
house, with a loss of some Of his clothlng-
The scene Of strife and confusion which follow
ed, which beggars description, was kept up I'm,
til 8 q. m, Sunday. In the meantime some OF
the citizens had sent word to Major All: Hut-
nam, commanding Camp Hamilton, about
mile distant, thata riot was going on, ana he
took about thirty Of his men and hastencd TO
the SPOT. lie found the negroes still very
much excited, all talking at once. but none OF
them seeming TO know exactly what about.
He ordered them to dlsperse, but they paid no
attention to him whatever. lie repeated The
order, and, finding that words had no elect,
ordered the men TO fire, probably blank cart;
ridges, as no casualties are reported. This had
a most salutary effect in bringing them 10 their
senses and dispensing them quite rapidly.
A guard was posted III Hampton on Sunday
evening, to prevent repetition OF the disgrace,
full scene, but fortunately everything remained
quiet. =,
Another riot, on 4 smaller scale, but with
quite serious results, occurred ut Mill Greek,
about O. mile from the fort, on the road to
HAMPTON, between four soldiers and a number
of blacks Both parties had been drinking
and as the soldiers have M love Tor the ne
groes, they may have provoked the assault. -
At any rate, free fight was INDUCED in, in
which the rules OF the prize ring were not
strictly adhered to. Bricks were freely used !;
finally one of the darkies pulled out his revolt
yer and shot soldier, and his example wa3
followed by the rest, four OF them receiving
wounds, but fortunately not very serious ones.
The one who suffered most had three sings put
into him, one in the forehead, one IN the
breast, and one in the groin. They have all
been extracted, and the patient il out OF dan
ger. -. -,
Three Of the negroes were arrested. The
fourth was wounded while trying to escape. -
The bal! struck him on the outside OF the ankle
and completely shattered it, Ampntatlon was
afterwards found necessary and The leg Was cut
off below the knee by the post surgeon.

Advices received in London from South

Paraguayan stronghold Of Humaita. 1t ap-
pears from these accounts that all the attacks
Of the Allies on the fort were repulsed with
heavy losses, and that it was not abandoned
until the new defences on the Terbicuary were
entirely completed. 1t is asserted that the
Paraguayans are in good condition to continue
the struggle. Mr.. John Bright has published

A VALUABLE DIsCOvERY.-Ai few days since
gentleman from Chicago, but formerly of Viz
GINA, passed through this city on his way to
the White Sulphur Springs He has discover
ed process by which fresh meats, fowls, &C.,
can be kept perfectly sweet and fresh for an in
definite period, 1t consists in exposing the
meat to the action Of a gas, by which a thin
coating is formed over the surface Of the arli-
Gle to be preserved He brought with him a
chicken and a piece Of mutton which had bean
killed in Chicago before he left home, and
Which had been hung upsn the cars on his
Journey The articles were cooked at the
White Sulphur and we've found as sweet and
fresh as if they had just been killed. This dis
covery will be OF immense value |if It should
accomplish all that is claimed for it, in preserv-
ing meats for sea voyages, sc.
1t is also stated that the death of any animal
will be produced by immersing the headin q
bag containing the gas.
A similar discovery for the preservation of
meat is claimed to have been recently made by
an Italian chemist named arinl.-Rschn1ond
Enquirer. .-- ~
