CUTTING AFFRAY.-On Sunday last, two
colored Amazons, of whom the "green-eyed
monster" had assumed corporeal control, un-
dertook wagerof battle, whereby to decide
the vexed question. One of the parties, Ma
ny Reid, was rather severely cut, whereupon
the fight ceased, and the stiffness of the Sab
bath was resumed. Judge Melton may be
called upon to Investigate the matter at the
court next week. We congratulated the
Judge last week, upon having no business of
consequence to transact, but certain belicose
individuals, ambitious candidates for the
penitentiary, may yet find something for him
to do. As yet, however, we have not heard
of single case, civil or criminal, to be tried
at the approaching term of the court.

exhibited at the Dispatch office a beautiful
specimen of kid morocco, made from the
skin of Virginia goat and tanned with Vir-

Scott Il Co., of Wilmington, Del, at the re-
quest of Major Bryant, Of Harsin & Co.,
merely to show that we have in Virginia NIL
that is necessary to produce al article cf this
kind that will compare tavorably with the
best morocco that is imported. Now the
goat-skins are generally imported from Gu

comes from abroad. The success of this eX-
pertinent suggests that some capitalist ought
to commence the business in Virginia, where
all the materials, and the very best, are a,

The Erie Excitement.

NEW YORK, March 27.-The Erie excite
ment was renewed with vigor at an early
hour this morning, forming, as usual of late,
the great feature Of Wall street. The open.
ing sales were at 66, but stock suddenly
broke from this point and tumbled rapidly
to 60. This was occasioned by Late telegralns
from London reporting decline to 513 fol
American certificates and 53a for protected
certificates.
In the great decline here this morning
many unfortunate bull spectators were
slaughtered. After this was over the price
rallied to 62s; but later fell off again to 8oa
finally rallying to 50.
The balance of the market was stronger
after the excitement consequent upon the
fall in Erie had subsided.

Weather Probabilities,

WASHINGTON, March 27.-Clear weather
will generally prevail on Thursday from the
lower lakes to the gulf and eastward to the
Atlantic, An area of low barometer will
probably move eastward over the northwest
with diminishing pressure throughout the
Mississippi Valley, and extending eastward
over the upper lake region and the Ohio
Valley, with .southerly to easterly winds.
Increased cloudiness viii prevail north and
west of the Ohio Valley, with very probably
threatening weather. Rising temperature is
probable for the stations east of the Rocky
Mountains on Thursday.
