Colt (search for this): article 1
Accidental Sheeting. --An accident occurred yesterday about 4 o'clock at the pistol gallery, corner of 14th and Main streets, by which Mr. James L. Smither, dry goods merchant of this city, was dangerously wounded by a ball discharged from a Colt's pistol in the bands of Mr. Jos. Brummel. Messrs. B. and S. were at the gallery trying their own pistols; S. was standing on one side, and B. having just discharged one barrel of his pistol, was in the act of replacing it in his pocket, when one of the barrels was by some means discharged, the ball striking S. in the abdomen, passing across and lodging in the muscular part. Dr. Burton, who was in attendance, probed the wound and gives the opinion that the ball did not enter the cavity of the stomach, which leaves considerable room to hope that S. will get over the wound. Sundry gentlemen were standing in a group with Mr. S. when the ball struck him.

h back-bone in Lincom's men to take the heights away from them. The Dispatch, I am sorry to say, does not reach me regularly. I received May 30, and the next was June 3. Something wrong somewhere; yet, the Post-Office Department in our Government has not had the time to get all right. Things will work right, I suppose, by-and-by. There is much inconvenience on account of Confederate Post- Office stamps. Five cents in silver is not always commutable, and we have some bother. We have plenty of provisions, comfortable quarters, and general health very good. No small-pox nor epidemic disease to contend with. A. U. S. soldier was brought in yesterday by a member of Capt. T. L. Yancey's Cavalry, as a prisoner of war. There was a small skirmish, in which two or three U. S. soldiers were killed and one prisoner taken. Three or four Colt revolvers were taken at the same time. I hope to soon have the pleasure of reporting our victory, in a battle at Harper's Ferry. Pen.

urpose of these resolutions were, in the opinion of your committee, to secure, if possible, through the instrumentality of Maryland, peace to our distracted country, and if failing in that, then a cessation of hostilities on the part of the armies of the Federal and Confederate troops until Congress should express its opinion on the subject. These purposes being defeated by the movements of Federal troops on Virginia, and an active commencement of hostilities, we have considered our mission as ended; and therefore have not left authorized on the part of the sovereign State of Maryland to present a request which has in advance been repudiated. The dignity of the State as well as self-respect seemed to demand this of us. All of which is respectfully submitted. John B. Brooke, G. W. Goldsborough, Gro. H. Morgan, Barnes Compton. Without transacting any further business, the House adjourned until to-morrow. The Senate organized and immediately adjourned.

The volunteers were originally called for by its Lieut. Colonel, on the 17th of March last, and such was the alacrity with which the response was met, that on the 8th of April four hundred men started for Pensacola, where they were subsequently joined by two more companies, making the battalion complete. They have there been engaged in throwing up fortifications, and are said to

The Zou-Zous. --Richmond was yesterday thrown into a paroxysm of excitement by the arrival of the New Orleans Zouaves — a battalion of six hundred and thirty, as unique and picturesque looking Frenchmen as ever delighted the oculars of Napoleon the three.--They are just from Pensacola, which they left about eight days ago; having laid over one day at Montgomery. Ala., and are probably en route for Manassas. The following is list of the officers: Lieut. Col., G. Coppens. Major W. Hillested. Surgeon Ashton Miles. Adjutant F. C. Zacharle. L. Ange, Captain, Co.

The Frankfort Convention--Union feeling in Kentucky. Frankfort, Ky., June 4.--The Border Convention adjourned yesterday sine die, after adopting the National and State address. Louisville, June 4.--Union flags are constantly raising here amid great enthusiasm.----To-day all are flying at half-mast in consequence of the death of Senator Douglas. Mr. Crittenden consents to run for Congress in the Lexington district. Mr. Mallory has been renominated for the Seventh district by acclamation. At La Grange, Kentucky, immense quantities of provisions are going day and night by way of Shepherdsvilie, eighteen miles south of Louisville, on the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, thence to be sent by rail south, if and when transmission south from Louisville shall not be interdicted.

Remains of Judge Douglas. Washington, June 4. --James M. Cutts, Esq., the father-in-law of Mr. Douglas, left this evening for Chicago, accompanied by the two younger sons of Judge Douglas by his first wife. It is understood here that the people of Illinois object to the remains of Mr. Douglas being interred in any other place than in that State.

illiancy, but only to fall back into utter darkness and oblivion. Now, after the lapse of many centuries, when Progress has again entered on one of its great onward cycles, this art, through new and varied struggles, carried on with weapons and implements unknown to the ancients, has once more been developed, to an extent far exceeding its pristine excellence. With the rise of this art, infantry, the popular branch of all armies, ascends in the scale of importance, as it did in the days of Cyrus, Alexander, CÆsar, and Belisarius. Whereas, in the middle or dark ages, when military art was lowest, and skill in single combat highest, cavalry became the principal arm; and if infantry appeared in the open field, they were ridden down by the men-at-arms, or driven before them as sheep fly before wolves. Infantry, armed with rifle or musket and bayonet, is fit for all kinds of service; ordinarily, of two battalions which are fighting, the one which continues to advance in spite of the

vouchers were upon his person, and, with his body are presumed to have been taken by the enemy. Capt. Richards, of the Bath Cavalry, who was reported to be killed, escaped unhurt, and reached Beverley with his corps on Monday. Private L. B. Dangerfield, from the Warm Springs, was not killed, as reported. He received a severe and painful wound on the left leg just above the ancle, both bones being crushed. He was taken to Beverley in a wagon, where his leg was removed on Tuesday morning, just below the knee. Nearly at the same time Mr. Dangerfield was struck; Mr. Hogshead received a flesh wound in the arm, and a number of others were struck, but not dangerously injured. One of the most frightened individuals of the entire party was a negro, who was knocked down by the wind of a six-pound ball. He immediately sprang to his feet, jumped upon a horse and reached Beverley two hours in advance of any one else. Such was the suddenness of the attack that some of the m

cot would be able to meet the exigencies of war, but a new calamity--one quite unexpected — has fallen upon us. On Thursday, the 16th inst. the inexorable river cut its way through the narrow neck of land which separates it from Lake Chicot. Since that time the water in the lake has risen at the rate of two feet per diem, so that, as we write, it is within a few inches of the bank. We are cut off from all land communication, and many plantations on the river and lake are materially damaged. Some planters are engaged night and day in erecting levees, and the greatest anxiety is felt as to the issue of this irremediable disaster. Those who have most suffered on the lake are: Judge A. H. Davies, Judge W. H. Sutton, E. S. Worthington, Mrs. G. Read, C. C. Stuart, and Johnson Chapman. We do not exaggerate in saying that these planters will suffer to the extent of $150,000. We learn that the river is rising rapidly, and that there is every probability of a general inundation.
