SHOOTING scRAPE.
YOUNG MAN MORTALLY WOUNDED.

While the steamer Fanny Brandeis was
lying at the Metropolis wharf, yesterday
afternoon, one Of the deck hands went
ashore, and was set upon by two young
men of the town. one Of them being Tobe
Hicks, who was born and raised in Me-
tropolis, and who is spoken ofss wild and
dissolute young man. The deck hand, be-
ing of II rcsentful turn, knocked Hicks
friend down, and seeing that Hicks was
about to draw pistol, and being of dis
screet, as well rs Of n rescntful turn, he
vamosed the premises. Hicks fired ut him,
and the friend, gaining his feet, lrew a
pistol and also fred, but the deck hand
escaped unharmed.
From the wharf, Hicks and his friend
passed up into town. They soon met II
Mr.. John Farrell, with whom they forced
quarrel. The quarrel having gained a
point where Hicks thought fight should
commence, again drew his pistol, cooked
and aimed it. Before, however, he had
time to pull the trigger. Farrell seized the
desperate young mans arm, and in the
scufilc that cnsucd, completely reversed
tho direction of the muzzlc Of the pistol,
so that when Hicks fired, the
ball entered his own abdomen. 1t is not
thought that Farrell purposed anything
more, in the struggle than to save himself;
but had he aimed at the result that fol-
lowed II is scarcely probable that public
sentiment would have severely censured
him. Young Hicks was conveyed to the
National Hotel, where physicians were
called in, and examined the wound. As
the boat upon which our reporter was u
passenger, was about to push out, he was
unable TO see the wounded man but ii was
reported that the ball had entered the in
testnes, and that consequently, there is
scarcely possibility Of his recovery. It
is said tha, both Hicks and his companion
had been drinking, and were decidedly
under the In ilucnce of liquor.

murder of the carpenter Of the Forsyth.
and Yesterdays papers bring us intcll-
gcnce of the murder Of an old Cairoitc--
Mr. Benjamin Conady, formerly partner of
NJ. Perry Powers in livery stable, in
this city. Mr.. Conady was engineer on
the tow-boat Mary Alice, bound from New
Orleans to 1t. Louis When the boat was
u few miles below Memphis he attempted to
eject two troublesome negro deck hands
named Jerry Anderson and Alick Hender-
son from the engine room. They seized,
stabbed bim to death with large sheath
knives. and threw his body overheard.
The boats watchmnn witnessed the mur-
der and attempted to save Canady's life,
when he too, was set upon and beaten-his
life being saved only by the timely ar
rival of the captain and other officers
of the boat who placed the murderers in
irons, and arriving at Memphis turned
them over 60 the authorities, where they
are now held on charge of murder in the
first degree.
A few days previously the mate of the
Celeste, steamer running IN the coast
trade above New Orleans, was compelled
in sclf-defcnce to kill negro deck hand
on his boat. The testimony waa so plain
that he was Immediately admitted to bail.
