Reporters on horseback.

Last evening a well known reporter
of this city mounted a Rosinante and
moved out Adams street like a knight
errant, his steed prancing in the most
approved manner. Near Orleans street
the reporter, pulling the wrong string,
ran into a buggy, which resulted disas-
trously to all parties, buggy and horse
included. The buggy contained a gen.
tleman and lady, both Of whom we're
thrown out. The buggy was overturned,
the reporters steed was sent headlong
into the gutter, and the unfortunate
member of the press turned somer-
sault like circus man. The results of
this expedition were slight injuries re-
ceived by the gentleman and lady, a
smashed buggy, crippled horse and a
deeply chagrined reporter whose clothes
we're torn in conspicuous places. Re
porters should ride around in the stable
for a few hours, and take lessons from
the hostler as to pulling the reins, before
they venture to display their horseman-
ship in public.

A Three.Cornered Duel.

On account Of jocose remark made
by Esquire Winters, on last Tuesday,
during the investigation of the Cannon
Morse case, there were rumors ahoat
yesterday Of a duel between the joking
Justice and two other gentlemen-one a
wellknown magistrate, the other an
equally well-known attorney. 1t was a
matter of speculation with the public as
to how the men should be placed during
the combat. If Justice Winters occu-
pied the center position on line with
the other two, slight movement on the
part of the Squire would cause the en-
ragged worthless to shoot at each other.
By way Of assisting and relieving the
puzzled and perplexed spectators, we
refer to "Sir Jonah Barrington's Sketches
of the Irish Bar" wherein is described
three-cornered or triangular duel. A
right angle triangle is accurately mea-
sured by civil engineer, for which he is
entitled to fee Of ten dollars. Each
party occupies an angle; the insulter has
two pistols lone in each hand), which he
fires simultaneously up the diverging
lines at his opponents, and both the in
suited fire down their respective lines at
the insulter. If either party is hit the
combat ceases; or, if an apology is made
on the ground after one fire, the same
result is happily obtained. According
to the strict letter of the code mot the
Code of Tennessee, under which the gen
tlemea above mentioned all practice),
after the parties take their positions on
the ground no apology can be received
until after one fire. From information
received this morning, we are happy to
state that the matter has been arranged
in an amicable manner, no offense being
intended by the humorous Justice toward
either of the other gentlemen.

PROBABLE HOMICIDE.
II. III. Cavauaugh Fatally Shot by
Reuben q. Jones'. NN

At quarter-past twelve o'clock TO-
day, Reuben G. Jones emptied the con-
tents of shotgun into the bowels of P.
II. Cavanaugh, on Causey street, between
Beal and Linden streets. The day be
fore yesterday the parties had a diff
Guilty about grocery store, stu
ated on Causey street, which store
was sold out to Cavanaugh by Jones
but the amount specified was not paid.
On account of the difficulty, Cavanaugh
was arrested and locked upin the Adams
street station-house. He gave bond this
forenoon, got his derringer pistol from
the station-house keeper, and proceeded
homewards to Causey street. AS he
was passing the store-house some
words passed between Cavanaugh,
who was without, and Jones, who
was within. A tremendous discharge
was heard, and Cavanaugh fell on the
sidewalk having been shot through the
bowels with heavily-loaded shotgun by
Jones. Cavanaugh was carried to his
residence a. few doors from the store,
where he is at present in dying condi-
ton. DR.. Lynch examined the wound,
and found that load of shot had en-
tered the bowels, tearing everything in
its course, and making hole in his body
into which you could thrust both hands.
He is suffering intense pain, and
stands no earthly chance of recovery.
Reuben c. Jones walked up to the
Causey street station-house and surren-
dered himself a prisoner. The shotgun
was found in the store, with both barrels
empty; but one barrel was loaded and
fred, there being no tube on the other
barrel Mr.. Jones was carried to the
Adams street station-house, where he is
at present imprisoned. He claims that
Cavanaugh had threatened his life and
that he shot him in selfdefense.
The full particulars will appear to-
morrow, when the case will be heard and
investigated by the judicial authorities.
Up to the hour we go to press no new
revelations have been made. Mr.. Cav
anaugh was dying rapidly at two o clock
this afternoon, and will not survive until
night. M

ATS LEAVING TO-DAY,
METEOROLOGICAL REooRp.
RIvER, pUsrNEss, MIsoELLANEous.

There is no change to report in the
stage of the river, here or below; the
channel seems to be cutting out some,
but is yet poorly defined. There is now
seyen-and-a-half feet of water from
Helena to Cairo, and six feet scant
above there TO ST. Louis, with the river
declining at all points, and no indica-
tons of rise. The Missouri, Illinois
and Upper Mississippi are falling, and
the decline in the Ohio continues, with
but twelve inches in the chute at Louis
vile, and four feet in the channel above
there. White and the Arkansas rivers
are falling, with twenty-eight inches in
the latter and three feet in the former.
The weather continues excessively hot,
and business improves but slowly. o
The City of Chester is advertised to
leave at five pm. for Cairo aud St.
Louis, and the Julia will doubtless get
away at the same hour for Vicksburg.
The Mary Boyd is the regular Friday
o. S. mail steamer for all landings on
the Arkansas. m.ts.
1t is rumored that the Virginia will be
"gobbled by the authorities here on
her next trip down, for injuries done a
small craft some months since. Capt.
Schultz has hosts of friends here, how
ever, and an hours detention will not
injure him. ,lt s.

son. Bob left for Louisville on the next

two o'clock this morning and left at
daylight loaded deep.

slight indisposition as to be able to ex-
pound the moritime laws to his friends
on Madison street.

gers to Des Arc, Augusta and jackson
port, Any information desired regard
ing freights or passage can be obtained
on application to Col. A, p. Curry, Sec
rotary, at No. 8 Madison street.
The City of Cairo passed up at seven
I'm, and the City Of Alton arrived from
New Orleans a little before noon, and
left soon after with moderate cargo.
The A. J. White came up from Napoleon
early in the morning with q good trip.
The Common Council Of Pittsburg
have ordered line of stone up the
Monographs wharf for water marks
similar to that at Wheeling. There is
not at present any definite means by
which the stage Of the river can be ac-
curately determined at this point, and
as theriver is quite low the opportunity
to establish water mark is excellent.
The entire expense will not be over one
hundred dollars. Will our City Fathers
do that much for the steamboat INTEREST,"
The White River journal of yesterday
contains the following:
The steamer Colossal, with iron for
the Cairo and Fulton railroad, run
aground few miles above Augusta, and
remained on the bar for about thirty-six
hours, doing no injury to the boat.
The steamer Sallie V, of the Railroad
Packet Company's Line, on her last
trip up the river, blowed out her cylin-
der-head, and returned on one wheel,
making her usual connection with the
train, and left yesterday for down the
river all o. K .ist
The steamer Usage, together with the
Sallie V, have been doing No. bust
ness for this season of the year. Their
passenger and freight business is rapidly
increasing, as is also their popularity
among the people.
Yesterdays ST. Louis Republican con
tains the following interesting items:
The Kountz Line to New Orleans is
now about fairly started. We expect to
hear soon of the following steamers
coming to this port to run in this line:
II. G. Yaeger, Katie P. Kountz, Carrie V.
Kountz, May Lowrie, Peninah and Ida
Stockdale. The Mollie Moore is loading
at present to leave this evening, to be
followed by the Carrie V. Kountz, Henry
c.. Yaeger and maybe some of the above
named boats.
Quite an excitement was witnessed on
Change yesterday, caused by several
of our steamboat capitalists discussing
on the speed of several boats, which
euded IN Capt. j. T. Burdeau, agent of
the barge line at New Orleans, betting
Capt. P. Yore $780, open for 800, that
the Andy Johnson would arrive at this
port ahead Of the City of Alton and
Dexter 1t will be remembered that the
above three steamers left New Orleans
on the same day.

There is but limited demand for
