IBy telegraph TO the Dispatch.l
CHICAGO, July 2+.--SpeciaI dis.
patches from FL Paso and Fort Worth,
Tex, published here this morning in
dicate that great excitement prevails
throughout Texas over the detention
of Editor Cutting by the authorities OF
the State Of Chihuahua after repeated
demands for his release by the Ameri-
can Consul. The newspapers Of that
section assert that the men ofTeXas are
ready for war, and that it needs but a
word to start one. A special from San
Antonio says:
There is considerable hustle about
the military headquarters here, and,
although the officers are retcent, a re-
port is current that General Stanly has
received orders to have all his available
force in readiness to move at moments
rotice to FL PaSo whenever the order
there is received. The gathering Of the
Mexican war.cloud is watched here with
a great deal Of interest, and but one
opinion prevails, and that is the MeXi-
can Government should De taught that
it cannot treat American citizens with
indignlty.
Ell PAso, TEXAS, July 2i.-PasO
Del Norte is still full Of Mexican SOL
diers, although the heavy reinforce
ments announced on their way from
Chihuahua had not arrived last night.
The State Department at Washington
is kept fully advised Of all the military
movements undertaken by the Mexicans.

Intellectual conference was had this eve

confeIrees will be held Monday, but
there are small chances Of agreement,
as the managers on the part Of the two
houses are as far apart as ever on the
lIennepin. canal, Sandy-bay, and Port
-Lake-canal amendments made in
the bill by the Senate. 1t is probable
another effort will be made by the

House on these important amendments
before entertaining an idea Of conceding
the points at issue. There is every
prospect of a compromise on the New

LOCAL MATTERS.
SERIOUS CUTTING AFFAIR LAST MIGHT
NEAR MANCHESTER.
Peter Judge Wounded In Three Places BY
Thomas Cordra~ His condi-
ton Critical.

A difficulty occurred last night on
the Chesterfield side Of the river, just
above the Belle.lsle bridge, between
Thomas Corera and Peter Judge, two
nnddlers, who work on the island, in
which the latter received injuries from
which he will probably die.
The two men had been drinking and
were going up the Danville railroad track.
When at,he point named a dispute arose
and a personal rencoatre followed, in
which Cordra drew his knife and gave
Judge three terrible cuts. Cordrs, it
is SAID, after doing the cutting shut up
bis knife and put II in bis pocket, and
walked along across the bridge toward
bis home, on Belle Isle. The wounded
man walked back down the track to
the platform at the Richmond and Dan
vile and Richmond, Fredericksburg and
Potomac railroad connection and took a
seat. Persons who witnessed the affair
and who wero near by Immediately
dispatched a messenger for DR.. Ma
thews, who soon arrived, and, after or
deripg a carriage, took Judge TO his
home. $40 Spring street, Oregon Hill,
Richmond.
There are three wounds. The first
is not very deep, but about four inches
long. and would indicate that the knife
entered just below the right shoulder
blade and took adownwArd course, and
then across to the left shoulder blade.
The second extends from the point of
the left shoulder-blade between the
ribs, and is about four inches long.
This wound is a very dangerous one,
and will probably prove fatal. 1t lay
open vide enough for three fingers
Of mans hand to res in it, and
opened the cavity and left lung.
The third is a deep stab just back of
the ribs, and Just below the shoulder
blade.
Judge bled very freely, and the
doctor thought it best not to sew up the
wounds last night, but to wait until
this morning, when he will be more
composed and quiet.
The occurrence was soon reported at
the Manchester police-station, and
Officer Smith, after sending q messen-
GER TO Chiefof-Police Lipscomb, started
out in pursuit OF COrdrs. The officer
went by Cordrs's house, but, not find
ing him there, started for Richmond ria
the TIedegsr bridge, and when about
half way across met Cordra going from
towards Richmond. When Cordra met
the officer he said that he was on his
way to Manchester to give himself up.
Soon after the arrest Captain Lips
comb arrived, and had the prisoner
searched, but found no weapon on bis
person. When asked what be had done
with his knife Cordrs said that he threw
il away directly after the occurrence.
What lei to the difficulty no one
knows. The parties were both in
liquor, and had had several alterations
during the day.
Peter Judge, the wounded man, lives
at SO Spring street, and has wife
ard two children.
Cordra lives on Belle Isle, is about
thirty. eight years old, and has a wife
