letter from Arizona the Austin Gazette gathers the particulars of the late difficulty between Col. Baylor and Mr. R. P. Kelley, editor of the Mousilla Times, in which the latter was seriously, if not fatally, wounded. The details given are as follows: Baylor called to Kelly as he was passing his quarters, saying he wished to speak with him. Kelly said yes, and started towards him, drawing a bowie-knife from his bosom as he approached. Baylor, seeing this, stepped inside his door and seized a gun, with which, on the advance and attack of Kelly, he knocked the latter down, without attemn seized Kelly and demanded that he should give up his bowie-knife; to which he replied "never." Baylor then shot him with his repeater, the bald entering his cheek and severing the "main artery" of the neck. Baylor was tried before the civil authorities and triumphantly acquitted.

From a lady who arrived in this city from Jefferson county last evening, we have intelligence of the destruction of a large portion of the town of Harper's Ferry, by the Yankees, on Friday night last. Our informant states that on Friday the guerilla company command by Captain Robert. W. Barlor, of Jefferson, went to the Ferry with a view of capturing a traitor by the name of George Rohi, who has been acting in the of ferryman between the Virginia and Maryland shores, and who had rendered himself particularly odious by giving information of the movements of our forces in that neighborhood. Captain Baylor succeed in having Rohi enticed to the Virginia side of the river, but finding it impossible to capture him, he shot him in the boat. This exasperated the Yankees to such at extent that they came over, under the ever of fight, and fired the town. The result was as stated above, the destruction of a considerable portion of the town. We learn that Rohi died soon after he was shot.

About see stairway was thronged with men, and before the boat could be started forward a man, pronounced by the deceased to be Capt. Baylor, fired a musket, the ball taking effect in Rohr's right thigh, passing through the leg, and coming out just above the its iron messengers in the line of their retreat.

Teel has been promoted Major, for meritorious conduct. Major Piron and command distinguished themselves throughout this severely contested action. But the same bravery pertained to the whole army. The 2d regiment, (Col Green's,) sustained the heaviest loss, here being some twenty killed. In Capt Walker's company, Col Baylor's regiment, one killed, (ed. Campion,) John Cleghorn badly wounded, and two others slightly. In Capt Copwood's Spy company, there were two killed.

entire force near 6,400 men. Notwithstanding this superior force he boldly advanced, and on the 19th crossed the river below Craig, and making a detour of some miles arrived, on the morning of the 21st, in sight of the river three miles above the fort, where a large body of the enemy were stationed to receive him. It seems that all the enemy's forces, with the exception of their artillery and reserve, were, upon the same side of the river to which our troops were advancing. A portion of Col. Baylor's regiment, under command of Maj. Pyron, numbering 250 men, were the first to engage the enemy. Alone, and unsupported for one hour, they held their position amid a hall of grape, canister and round-shot. At that time they were reinforced, and the battle became general. The enemy then made an attack upon our right wing and were repulsed. A general movement was then made upon our line, and with some success. A portion of our left wing was compelled to fall back and take a new position

rs were brought to this city by Capt. John Henderson, of Ashby's Troop. They were captured in a skirmish on Saturday. On Sunday quite an exciting little fight took place near McGaheysville, in which portions of the cavalry companies of Captains Baylor and Shands were engaged on our side. In this engagement, we regret to learn, Capt. Baylor received a very serious wound, from which he has since experienced great suffering. Before receiving his wound, however, he succeeded in killing one Capt. Baylor received a very serious wound, from which he has since experienced great suffering. Before receiving his wound, however, he succeeded in killing one Yankee and wounding another. He is said to have acted with great gallantry in the engagement, and that when wounded he had drawn his sword and was dashing after the enemy, whose force largely exceeded his own. On Tuesday an accident occurred which cast a deep gloom over Ashby's camp and by which the life of a most gallant and meritorious officer was lost. It seems that a member of Capt. Shands's company was removing a loaded musket from a wagon, when it was accidentally discharged, and th

Coming here. --Gov. Baylor, of Arizona, is on his way to this city, to attend to some business connected with that far-off region.
