Fatal affray.

--An affray occurred at a house of ill-fame, near Central Depot, in Raleigh, on Friday last, by which two men lost their lives. A man named James Robinson, a conscript substitute, ripped out the bowels of a soldier named Willoughby Davis, a member of the 56th regiment, when he, in turn, was instantly shot dead by one of Davis's companions. Davis lived but a short while after being carried to the hospital.
