Coming 10 n Heau-

The motion on the adoption Of Pages
resolution in the House Of Representa-.
tives. Tuesday, appointing the second
Tuesday in March as the time for con-
aidering the Chinese bill led to quite n
lively scene among the members. After
several Intellectual votes had been taken
She Speaker announced lls votes in
the affirmative against 81 in the mega.
tive, which gave the constitutional ma
Jority in favor of the specill order. The
more prominent members Of the House,
without exception, either voted affirm.
lively or refrained from voting. The
result adds confidence to he cxpec,a.
tion that the bill when reached for
action will command a large majority.
and DO passed in the House wi,hou,
very material change.
General Miller will avail himself OF
the first opportunity to get his Chinese
bill before the Senate, and the prospect
that definite action regarding this im.
portant matter, will be taken by the
peesent Congress is decidedly favorable.

ra,a, sAootIas Array N, Louisville.

A Louisville dispatch of the Goth
says; Z very exciting and probably
fatal ARRAY took place this evening on
Jefferson street between 9th aud 9TH. in
which joe Wyatt, the ex GoVernmeR,
marshal, who bsgged more moonshiners
than any man in the country, was badly
IL not fatally wounded by Joe Cunning
han and Thomas Connolly, two depu-
ties Of their court. Wyatt is a man Of
celebrated nerve. and one who has
never known fear. He has had many
exciting incidents IN his life, aud has
killed several men, but generally was
acting in self defense. or in the dis
charge u his duties as a Government
officer; but this time he has probably
met his During the ARRAY four.
teen shots were fired. The difficulty
commenced in the Astor House, a little
hotel directly opposite the fire engine
house, and ended in the street where
Wyatt was shot. The origin Of the
difficulty was witnessed by none but the
participants. and consequently i; is
somewhat difficult to give the particu.
lars. 1t seems that warrants were out
for the arrest Of Wyatt, charging re-.
with selling liquor to minors. Hearing
OF this he swore he would pay no atten-
ton to the warrants. "He would be
id If he'd pay the fines. and no
officer could arrest him" He is said to
have threatened to shoot any man
who laid hands on him. The officers
attempted to arrest him, when he
pulled a revolver. The officers. did the
same, and the battle ragged from the
hotel to the street. The marshals fred
ten out Of the fourteen shots. Wyatt
fired four times with his famous pistol
which he calls "Trusty." Neither Of
the maTshuls is huTt except that Con
nelly's forehead is grazed just above the
night eve. The doctors called TO attend
Wyatt say the probabilities are hat he
will die.

Rcgninrd His Reason.

Combs, the convict at tho State
Prison, who has been Insane for the
past fifteen days, says the 1PPrai, has
suddenly regained his reason. During
the perion Of his insanity his pulse was
as high as $50. and yesterday it was
down to GS and very feeble. About
four months ago he had n similar Mt
tack of mental disorder, the duration of
which was exactly tho Same length Of
time as this one. His mind is a perfect
blank regarding the occurrences Of tho
past fifteen days. md when he found
himself chained to the wall Of the tailor
shop he wcpt bitterly, probably moro
from nervous rrostration than anything
else. Those who know him well, DO
liero that he committed the crime for
which he is imprisoned during an in
sane spell, and upon that basis nppli-
cation will be made for his pardon.

The following is extracted from q

Bullion, Feb. 18th:
A. present Bullion has a larger popu-
lation than can find employment in the

there is little or nothing to DO done.
What min>s are being worked around
these towns are simply being prospected
by a few men who have just enough
provisions to last until spring comes.

about town, which will number about
ten, and the figures are complete-good,

several who have wintered so far here
are a~nxiously waiting for employment.
Accommodations are limited, especially
sleeping. This state Of affairs will, Of
course, change in the spring, then men
can take in Warm Spring Creek, the
