A serious and unfortunate affair. --Dr. A. T. W. Mather, was shot and (supposed) mortally wounded, yesterday afternoon, about 6 o'clock, by Mr. A. S. Withers, at the residence of the latter, No. 368 St. Charles street. These balls are said to have entered his breast and side, producing wounds that will probably terminate fatally. Mrs. Withers is said to have been accidentally wounded by a shot in the hand. After the shooting Mr. Withers walked down town and surrendered himself to officer Casson, on Camp. street. There being contradictory rumors in regard to this deplorable affair, we refrain from giving details until they are elicited before the proper tribunal.--N. O. Delta, 30th.

atification at the large turn-out. He spoke some time upon the existing state of affairs, but said that it required no urging upon the men before him to respond to the call of the Governor. At the close of his remarks he claimed the privilege of being enrolled as the first volunteer. He was followed by Col. Lorick, Maj. Wood and Adjutant Peck, who also enrolled their names. The order was given for volunteers to march four paces to the front, and was responded to most handsomely. Capt. Casson promptly tendered his command of 120 men to the Colonel, and was accepted as the company from the Volunteer Battalion. Lieut. Brennan, commanding the Emmet Guards, whose whole command had also marched to the front, in some appropriate remarks, tendered his corps. The Richland Guards, Capt. E. F. Bookter, numbering 100 rifles, also tendered his company. Thus there were more companies than could be accepted from the Volunteer Battalion. When it is remembered that this battalion has alrea

wards, to Unger's store. Major Frothingham is entitled to great credit for building, under my direction, in four hours in the dead of night, a complete bridge across the Great Cacapon, at an unfrequented mountain road. Two columns of 2,000 men each, marched thirty-two miles--one column forty-three miles--since 4 P. M. yesterday, besides bridging the river. We made a move and occupied the Bloomery Gap and Point Mills east, on the belief (by information obtained from deserters) that General Casson's brigade was there. Gen. Dunning has just arrived at New creek from Moorefield, forty miles south of Romney. He has captured 225 beef battle, and broke up the guerilla haunt there. Two of his men were badly wounded. He killed several of the rebels. The enemy have thus been driven out of this department. F. W. Lander, Brig.-Gen. Skirmish in Western Virginia.

in Columbia. --Summing up the losses by the fire there on Tuesday, the Columbia South Carolinian, says: The total losses of the day, as estimated by one of the gentlemen most interested, is as follows: 2,700 bales uplands, and 800 bales, sea island (of which two qualities, about 800 bales, belonged to Government,) stored in the sheds of Messrs. Blakely & Co.; say 500 bales uplands and sea islands, stored in the sheds of Messrs. Gibnes & Co.; three residences and out houses belonging to Captain Casson. T. D. Feaster, and another party whose name is unknown to us. Total value of cotron.--estimating uplands at $500 per bale and sea islands at $1,000 per pale.--$2,000,000. The value of other property destroyed, including furniture, salt, and various articles stored for safe keeping, will probably be covered by $100,000. It is understood that most of the above was partially insured by its different owners, but he loss in insurance is divided among some twenty or thirty offices.
