--At an early hour yesterday morning the citizens living in the neighborhood of Shockoe Hill burying-ground were startled by violent blows and oaths, which, upon investigation, proved to emanate from a difficulty which had occurred between Jordan Miller, a man familiar to the criminal authorities of this city, and John Thornton, a member of the Reserved forces of the State. Miller, having for some time suspected Thornton of an undue intimacy with his family, set himself to watch around his rnton, a member of the Reserved forces of the State. Miller, having for some time suspected Thornton of an undue intimacy with his family, set himself to watch around his premises the night preceding, and, at an early hour yesterday, happening to discover Thornton in the neighborhood of his residence, he pitched into him with a club. In the course of the melee both parties were dreadfully cut and bruised about the head and face. The matter will be investigated before the Mayor this morning.
