The Board then adjourned until Monday evening next at 7 o'clock , Atmos? a Homicipg was enacted last even- ‘og in the chamber of the City iiali occupied by the Board of Common Council, and duriog the ion of the same. Mr. D. A. Watter- ston, @ member of the Council from the Fifth Ward, bad offered a petition on the subject of Sbatiog a nuisance iu an alley in his Ward, which Mr. John Peters, a member of the preceding Council, then within the bar, char- acterized aloud as containing falsehoods Mr. Watterston turned upon him and seized him by the two eheeks, scratching them consider- ably This brought other members around the parties and caused their separation. But Watterston said that the two could not occupy the same soom, and he would retire. in so doing be was followed by Peters, who, it is said, when outside of the chamber at- tempted something like an apology, but im- mediately followed it by a blow with the fist. Thereupon Mr. Watterston d ord cane aud purened Peter:, who retreated with great rapidity inte the chamber. When just within the gate at the bar Watterstun made a lunge With his cane, and with such determined vim that every member of the Board represented Peters’s life to have been in the most immi- nent danger. The blade of the weapon ap- pears to have touched Peters on the right side, and bending round his body zo as to pro- dace the illusion, happy as it feli out, that Watterston had compietely run his antagonist through. Peters was not armed. Captain Mills, of the Auxiliary Guard, being in the cbamber atthe time, arrested the combatants, aud took them before Justice Thompson, who was also casually in the building. 2 #o in- vestigation of the case the Justice deemed it bis duty to bind both parties over to answer atthe next term of the Criminal Court, and also mutually to keep the peace for the next six months. The Council took the matter up, acd acommittee of three was appointed to examine inte and report upon the matter. — Intelligencer.

Conguaints.—The Captain of the Auziliar Gaard heard a verbal complaint last night relative to crowds of men and boys collecting, about the engine-house at the Centre Market, on the evenings previous to the market days. It is probable that the City Councils will give — ayor authority to prevent these assem- ages. —— oe GEORGETOWN CORRESPONDENCE. Groreztown, Sept. 30, 1256. We have heard during the last few days quite a multitude of inquiries from the oppo- sition as to what our councils had done with the poll tax and suffrage bill. We would in- form all such inquirer: that they have dis- posed of it in just such manner as the Mayor directed, viz: referred it to Recorder Ould, whore we will guarantee it receives all the consideration its merits may entitle it to. We presume, however, that if the Recorder should propose an ordinance fur carrying out the pro- visions of the bill, that it will be labor for nothing ; as the very party whose petition was instrumental in securing its enactment by Congress, must necessarily, if they would make anything like the slightest show of consistency, vote against its ever going into effect, if it should be again submitted to the poople, for it is a fact known to every maninour comma- nity, that when our councils, only two years ago, prepared a revised charter for our cit: embracing identically this provision, and male mitted it to the people for their decision, that the very party which now appears go anxious for it, almost toa man came to the polls and voted against it. And that too, if we are cor- rectly informed, after they had solemnly re- solved to doso in their secret council meetings. The garden farmers in attendance at our market this morning are rejoicing over the fine showers of last night Nothing could have been more opportune; and from present indications we are destined to be blessed with a cansiderable quantity more before it stops. We learn from some persons that the drought in some sections southwest and west of us (con- tignous to the District) has been almost un- precedented Many streams, which have bever been known to fail, were recontly on- tirelydry Many farmers also found much difficulty in carrying on their seeding opera- tions in consequence of it. A fracas occurred on Market street, near Bridge, on Sunday night about twelvo o’clock, between a party of young men, who had doubtless been dealing too freely in something stronger than water, which resulted in one of the party, a young man from Baltimore, by the name of Douglass, being considerably cut by a knife in the hands of another individaal named Thornbury. Young Thornbury is rep- resented as a very peaceable young man; and it is said that he used tho knife after his as- sailant had throwe or knocked him down and was on tepof him. Thornbury was held to bail by Justice Reaver, in the sum of $266, for his apperrance at court. Keep better hours. young men, and you will avoid all such scrapes. goods by E. 8.
