Senator BrOwnlOW.

From the objections urged by the DEM
ocratic press 10 the style and substance of
Governor Brownlow's defense of himself
and his State against the aspersions of
Representative Beck, 1t would appear that,
notwithstanding his infirmities, the Ten
nessee Senator can still strike home. The
manner in which he has retorted to the
declarations of Mr.. Beck, that his "only
refuge from the penitentiary appeared to
be in the Senate" is characteristic, and
might have been expected by the Ken
lucky member or any other man who was
at all conversant with Governor Brown
lows career. Those who find fault with
his style might as well remember that the
style of his assailant was anything but po-
lite. When a man is told he has taken
refuge from the penitentiary, it implies
that he'has been guilty of felony, and a
severe answer must come in course. An
cry men do not pick out fine words, and
Governor Brownlow has always been no.
ted for his propensity to call a spade a
spade. 1t was certainly q mistake to inn
pute to him a want of integrity, for men
who differ widely from him in opinion
believe him to be strictly honest, and his
political foes at home have vindicated him
in that regard. There is no kinder man
in the world to his friends than Governor
Brownlow, and, perhaps, as a necessary
offset to this trait, no more unrelenting
enemy. Nevertheless, he is as easily con-
ciliated by kind and courteous word as
he is aroused by an angry and improper
one, and people should be careful how
they tamper with a dying lion.- Wash.

From the Wheeling (w. Va Register, Feb. H.
For week or two past the boys of the
rival villages of Bellaire, on the Ohio side
of the river, and Benwood, on the West
Virginia side, have been engaged in fight
ing. Whenever Bellaire boy was found
on this side of the river he was unmerci-
fully beaten, and when Benwood boy
was discovered in Bellaire the flegging was
repaid with interest. Last Saturday week
the boys of the two places met on the ice
and engaged in q regular pitched battle,
using stones and even pistols. Some of
the combatants are now in the Marshal
county Jail awaiting trial for riot.
On Saturday last vast number of boys,
about $50 on each side, met on the ice, by
appointment il would seem, and engaged
in a most terrific fight. Every conceive
ble missile was used and several OF the
-combatants received cuts in the head and
face. The battle ragged with fury for about
two hours. One boy, q lad about thirteen
years old, named Furson, whose parents
live in Bellaire, was struck behind the ear
He fell on the ice stunned. In short time
he revived sufficiently to enable him to 60
home. He suffered terribly through the
night, and yesterday morning he died from
the effects of his injuries. Now that one
has been murdered, and several others
have been badly injured, is it not time for
the authorities ON both sides of the river to
prevent any more such disgraceful riots
