which they returned to this city in time
to catch the 2:0i train en- route for
Washington, on which we're the remain
der of their party, who had been left in
Richmond. The Comte de Paris and
his associates expressed very great graft
fication at their visit. General Daniel
Sickles, who is not stranger to the
grounds over which he passed to-day,
took q very deep interest in the many
points of interest along the routes to and
from Charlottesville and gave interest
ing information respecting the scenes
and incidents of the sanguinary struggles
on these historic fields On the return
of the party from Charlottesville a
number of our citizens were introduced
to the visitors and expressed regrets at
their inability to remain longer in our
city, where there are so many interest
ing points made historic by the late war.
A NOTORIOUS WOMAN SHOT.
Charlotte Wilson (colored), better
known as "Ulica Olica," desperate
character and ex-penitentiary convict,
was shot yesterday morning about l
o'clock by Policeman Cahill while resist
ing arrest. The ball entered her left
breast just above the nipple, and taking
a diagonal course came out from her right
breast almost in straight line from
where it entered. The wound is not con-
sidered dangerous. The woman is no.
torious character and is constantly before
the Mayor for breaking the peace, and
on several occasions she has knocked an
officer down while he was attempting to
arrest her, she being woman OF power
full strength and the officer not wanting
to do her bodily harm, but on yesterday
morning she became so violent and used
such threatening language that he could
do nothing else. She lives on Water
street. where night street-walkers live,
and where generally if any OF their ilk
get into trouble they defend themselves.
