The Daily Dispatch: May 25, 1861., [Electronic resource], A Nice dowry. (search)
Probable fatal Rencontre. --A serious difficulty occurred at the dinner-table on board the steamer St. Johns, yesterday, as she was coming up on he regular trip from Florida.--Among the passengers were Mr. R. Kerr Elliott, of Fayette county, Fla., and a Mr. Staggers, of the same State. Sharp words passed between the parties at various times during the trip, and yesterday, while sitting opposite each other at the dinner-table, the quarrel was resumed by Staggers, with very abusive language. He finally arose, with a case-knife in his hand, leaning over towards Elliott, when the latter deliberately drew a pistol and fired. Staggers fell, the ball having entered his left breast just above the nipple, and passed, it is thought, through the lungs. He bled profusely from the wound, and was well nigh exhausted when the boat reached the city. He was immediately taken to a hotel and every attention given, though we hear the wound is likely to prove fatal.--Savannah Rep., 22d.

Scouts. --The Oglethorpe Light Infantry, of Savannah, brought with them to Richmond a couple of monkeys, dressed in full uniform.--The design is, we are informed, to use them as scouts, as an offset to George Copway's "tall and fleet" Michigan Indians. They will not be armed, except so far as may be necessary for self-defence.

Oglethorpe Light Infantry. --Brief mention was made in yesterday's paper of the arrival of the above admirable corps on Thursday night. The people of Savannah have reason to be proud of their military representatives abroad, and, taking the company alluded to as a sample of the Georgians generally, so have the people of that patriotic State. They will worthily sustain the honor and renown of a people who, on every battle-field of this country, have always been foremost in the fight. The spirit that animated the gallant Pulaski, (in the shade of whose monument they were formed,) seems to have inspired these intrepid soldiers to do and dare all things for that independence and liberty which they love so well, and without which they do not wish to live. The Oglethorpe Light Infantry, as previously stated, is a very full company. The following are its officers: Francis S. Bartow, Captain; Jos. J. West, 1st Lieutenant; Hamilton Cowper, 2d Lieutenant; A. F. Butler, 3d Lieutenan
