The Army Commission.

WASHINGTON. August 3.-There seems to
be some misunderstanding regarding the
circumstances attending the meeting and
adjournment of the Committee for the Re-
organization Of the Army, OF which Gen
eral Burnside was chairman, recently in
session at the White Sulphur Springs, W..
Va. The statement is authorized that there
was no lack Of quorum on account OF the
voluntary abscnteeism on the part OF MEM
bers, as has been reported. Six OF the eight
members OF the commission were present
during the entire consideration OF the SUI
iect, and remained until the main features
OF an army bill were agreed upon. Although
each separate feature of the bill was not
adopted unanimously by the committee. the
bill when completed was unanimously
adopted as a whole. 1t Is stated, moreover
on competent authority that no antagonism
to the army was displayed during the ses-
sion OF the commission, but, on the con-
trary, all its members were obviously ac-
tuated by desire to improve the service.
The proceedings are said to have been OF
the plcasantest possible character, and
marked by the utmost courtesy on the part
Of the members towards each other.

The Travels Of an Ecclesiastical
letter.


The letter containing the official bulls OF
appointment OF the Rev. J. j. Keane as
Bishop OF Richmond, which was finally re-
ceired by Archbishop Gibbons from Rome
a few DAYS ago, and which was formerly re-
ported as lost or misc3rried, has met with
some singular experience, and has travelled
across the ocean no less than three distinct
times. General L. 3. Tyler, postmaster,
was YESTERDAY engaged in an investigation
OF the causes leading TO the delay. He pro-
cured from Archbishop Gibbons the en-
velope IN which the bulls were received,
and an examination led to an almost ln-
Simultaneous solution Of the mystery. The
envelope showed that the address had been
originally superscribed in the Italian Ian
guage. and in addition to the clerical title
and destination was the name "Giacoma
Gibbons" This word "Giacoma (" caused
all the trouble, and had the sender OF the
ecclesiastical! documents spelled it with

perfection, the subsequent delay and an
noyance might have been obviated; but

M 3Icf} ..... verne - (

An unfortunate affray occurred Mt Mt.
Robert Kyle's, near Greenwood depot, III
this copntv, on Tuesday night last, between
two colored men, MT. Hackett and Henry
Brown, which9resulted in the instant death
OF William Smith, another colored man, who
was not a party to the difficulty. The incts
of the case. as obtained from reilaDle
source, are about as follows: On TUESDAY
night, Just after dark, Hackett camet TO MT.
kyle's TO see his wife, who was servant IN
the family. and had not been long there De-
fore a family quarrel ensued in the presence
of Henry Brown in regard to an ailesea
neglect Of the wife to do Hacketcs
washing. Hackett complained that Browns
washing was done promptly, while his own
was not attended to. Brown replied tartly
to Hackett, and a fight enSued, in which
Brown inflicted several severe blows on
Hackc;t's head with an andiron, and,
Selling him BY the throat, threw him upon
he'd in the room. HackettS wife tried to
separate the parties, breaking Browns hold
on her husbands throat several times.
During the struggle Hackett got hold OF
poker and struck Brown over the head
several times. Finally the parties arose
from the bed. and, continuing to scuttie,
got nearer to the door, which was standing
open. Hackett's wife gave Brown a push
which thrust him outside, and then caught
her husband to keep him iroa following.
William Smith. the man who was killed,
and who is represented to have been very
inolfensive and peaceabe man, was present
in the room when the quarrel began be-
tween Hackett and Brown, but left as soon
as he found difficulty was brewing. Hear
ing the fight going on, he went to MIR.
Kyle's chamber and informed him OF it,
proposing that they should go together and
separate the combatants. Mr.. Kyle promptly
responded, and the two went together to
the scene OF the a1ray. The door was open,
and they saw the struggle between Hackelt
and his wife, the latter endcavoring TO
keep her husband from going out
of the house. just rs Mr.. Kyle
stepped in the door Hackett sue
ceeded in releasing himself and dis
charged pistol at Mr.. Kyle, who, in the
darkness he mistook for his adversary,
Brown. The ball narrowly missed Mr..
KYLE and struck William Smith in the fore
head, killing him instantly. MIR. Kyle
stepped forward and demanded the pistol,
which Hackett readily gave up. When in
formed OF the result OF bis shot he eN-
pressed deep regret at the fatal mistake,
Smith being his friend; and, remaining at
home all night, surrendered himself to JUS
tice Lipscomb Wednesday morning. Hack
EFT was brought 10 Charlottesville yeSter-
day morning in charge OF Special Constable
John A. Ray, and committed to Jail to
await the action Of the grand jury, which
