Blase, corner of Raid- and America streets, on ' Monday night, Jonas Miller, F. Callahan, Wm. Sears and John McClure, after imbibing rather freely, reflised point blank to pay for their ' liquor. The bar-tender, not exactly relishing ; this sort of thing, undertook to give his opin? ion, whereupon they all fell upon and beat I ?bim severely. The police, attracted by the noise ol the row, hastened to the spot, and promptly arrested the offenders, who were yesterday morning sentenced to pay a fine of $5 each, or go to jail for ten days. 4- *- - MADISON UNTVERS?TT.-The New York pa? pers state that the honorary degree of D.

THE WIDOW'S ART.-Speaking ol the lia? bility of English statesmen of repute to marr/ widows, and the happy relations incident to these matches, the New York World makes Als floe point : We decline to entertain for a moment the hypothesis that the skill which is so otten dis? played by a lady was acquired at the expense of her first spouse, on which she experimented as on a corpus vile until he became a corpus cold. Far more probable Is lt that the first was made even more happy than the second BO happy that flesh and blood could not stand lt-and that, being warned by this experience, the widow who becomes a wife gives to her second husband only Just that amount of bliss .that ts good for him, and no more.

Hr MEETING OF Crrv COUNCIL.-Council met last night at half-past eight o'clock, but ad? journed for-want of a quorum. . REFORM MEETING IN WARD THREE.-The citizens of Ward Three met last night at the hall over Nathan's late carriage emporium. No. 45 Wentworth street, President Britton in the chair. Reports were read from the com? mittee on the hali, and, on motion, the commit? tee was instructed to procure suitable seats for thc members. The following delegates to the central club, which consists of six dele? gates from each Ward, were elected. Messrs. Byrnes, Cordes, Corbett, Jame?, C. W. Seig nlous, Jr., and Sanders. * The finance committee was also" elected. After the regular business of the meeting was over, Mr. Black was loudly called upon, and delivered a telling speech, which was received with great applause. Mr. Black urged upon our people the necessity of co-operation, earnest and vigilant, and showed the falsity of the pretended scheme to entrap the colored people and force them back into slavery, which the Bing party endeavors to teach to the more ignorant of his race. He stat? ed that the Fifteenth amendment was "an established fact, fully recognized in the platform of the Union Reform party, and no act of- that party' could pos? sibly set lt aside.: He felt satisfied of the honesta of purpose of those of our people who had enlisted In the cause of Reform, and would stand by them to the'last. He was followed ? by-Mr. Corbltt. who at first declined, but after? wards stated briefly that he was a Republican, and was present at this meeting as such, but he would welcome any man there who had de? termined to lend his aid towards the great work ot Beform, regardless of his political creed. All he wanted was to see honest men men'whom our people could and would trust lu office-over us, and tbis he believed would be the case after the contest In October. .On motion, the meeting then adjourned. PERSONAL CHASTISEMENT.-Yesterday morn? ing it' became the unpleasant duty of Mr. F. W. Dawson, one of the editors of THE NEWS, to administer a sound castigation to Mr. Myron Fox, one of the editors of a Radical sheet pub? lished in. thia city. This was made necessary? ly the"publication, on Monday evening, ot a grossly insulting article reflecting upon. the ?character and courage o? Mr. Dawson. - At about half-past-IO o'clock, Mr. Dawson, accompanied, by "a'frlend, entered the editorial rooms of the Radical paper. Mr. Fox, known to be one of its-editors, was seated at a table near the.window. Mr. Dawson went up to bim and asked whether he was the editor of the paper.- Mr. Fox, extending his hand, re? plied that . he waa. . Mr. Dawson, pointing out the offensive article which'he held lu his hann, J said: "This arf-1'jle ls grossly Insulting to me, and i shall chastise you." > With this, he struck Mr. Fox in the face. Mr. Fox sprang to his feet, when Mr. Dawson struck him be? tween the eyes, and, with a flexible cane, thrashed him over the head and shoulders. At this moment, W. J. Bailentine, an attach? of .the Radical sheet, seized Mr. Dawson from be? hind, but, after a struggle, was shaken off. The pair, Fox and Ballentiue, then attacked Mr. Dawson vigorously, and were both of them badly hit. In the meanwhile, a crowd of twenty or thirty persons bad gathered in the room, and the encounter ceased. The police were sent for by Fox, and Mr. Dawson and his friend were arrested. Mr. Dawson was unhurt. Fox bears upon his face some of the marks of the punishment be received. Mr. Dawson and his friend were conducted to the guardhouse, where Fox made a charge of assault and battery. The case was then turned over to Trial Justice John G. Mackey, and Mr. Dawson, waiving un examination, was bound over to&keep 'the peace for twelve months, and balled to" appear for trial on the first Monday** November. Mr. Dawsph, during the encounter, had no other weapon than a light e-ue, which was broken during the fight with Fox and Valen? tine, gaessa&ca* As a friend of- Captain Dawson, I was present during the whole of the encounter be? tween him and Mr. Fox, and do certify, of my own knowledge, that the foregoing statement ls literally and exactly correct. JAS. A. LAFITTE. RETURNED CAROLINIANS.-Our readers will doubtless recollect the departure, in February last, of a party of sixteen young men from this this State, and of another party of twenty, in March, for Venezuela, under contract with Mr. William Quirk, of Darlington Count/, to serve him for one year for seventy-five dollars per month and board. Arrived there the young adventurers were delighted with the climate and general appearance of the country, and for the first three months everything went smooth? ly enough, wages were paid regularly and good rations furnished. At the end of this time, however, Mr. Quirk appointed for his workmen tasks which were double what was required from the natives who had been al? ways accustomed to the use of the heavy "machete"-an Instrument somewhat resem? bling a broadsword, often two or three ioet lu length and very heavy-which is itsed as a sort ot hatchet for cutting sugar-cane, clearing lands of small bushes, Ac. These double tasks they found themselves utterly unable to per? form, their wages at the same. time being re? duced to forty cents per day. The party de? manded Justice and a reduction of the amount of labor required of them, but were answered that none would be made; they must either perform the work or leave the plantation. Many left Immediately, whilst others, utterly penniless, in a strange laud and without friends, were of necessity compelled to remain and submit to the imposition. One small party reached Laguayra and ?applied for redress to the American Consul at that port, from whom, however, they tailed to obtain either satisfac? tion or information. Two of them, Messrs. M. B. Brown and J. B. McCollum, succeeded in obtaining a free passage on the brig A. B. Pat? terson, Captain Pike, to New York, and thence to Charleston on the steamship South Caroli? na, Captain Adkins. These gentlemen speak in the highest terms of the kindness of both Captains Pike and Adkins, to whom they offer their heartfelt thanks. They report that up to the time of their departure, perhaps we should term it escape, on the 17th of July, they had cleared about eight hundred acres ot land heavily wooded with lignum vi tte or iron wood. Only five out of the thirty-six are known to have reached the United States, the others are still in Venezuela, many of them wandering ibout the country in a state of great destiti ion, indeed, in a starving condi? tion. Messrs. Brown and McCollum state that the climate ls perfectly delightful, the soil good and well adapted for the cultivation of sea island cotton, but there is no law, little order and absolutely no protection. The country is cursed willi au intestine war, and the port or Laguayra wa3 blockaded when they left, the captain of the blockad.ng vessel, how? ever, after th? presentation of a goodly "chunk"'of s-..". pork, <tc., quietly permitting the Pattersou and her passengers to ugo through." Moral-Stay at home. Join the Union Reform party, work hard for tho redemption of your State, add your vote to the majority ot Carpen? ter and Butler, and you'll find that, after all, "there's no place like home." THE UNIVERSITY EDUCATIONAL RECORD.- ! This ls the title of a very attractive Illustrated , quarterly, issued by the University Publishing Company of New York.- It ls .edited specially in the Interest of teachers and others engaged in the cause of education. ANOTHER IMPORTANT CAPTURE wa^made yesterday by offleors Trualland -Maroch?ttlVof the detectives, consisting of twenty-three dol? lars la gold and eight dollars in sliver, together with a lot of clothing, -jewelry,-three pairs of J vases," one Jewelry"case, and a hat box. ^Thes'e officers are still on the trail of a large gang of j robbers; whom we trust theyw?l soon over- f haul. THE NUGARA FIRE ENGINE COMPANY.-We wonid direct especial attention to the appeal of this company for aid from our citizens, which appears elsewhere in our Issue of this morning. This company has been inactive service since 1851, but was not known under its present name, having been, in common with the other colored companies of our de? partment, known by number Instead of name, and many residents of the upper wards can testify to the efficiency and general good con? duct of the members of "No. 8." In 1861, when most of our colored popula ti on left the city in consequence of the ad? vances of the Federal lorces against our haibor defences, Mayor Macbeth issued a proclamation calling upon the -free colored men to take charge of those engines which had been abandoned, and tbe members of this company were the first to volunteer! Since that time they have retained possession of their apparatus, which bas been kept in good repair .mainly by the individual contributions of the' members, th?. " pay" or appropriation of the City Council seldom sufficing for that purpose. No public appeal for aid has been heretofore, urged, and we trust that our citizens will respond to the call now made with sufficient liberality to enable the company to place Its entire apparatus in such condition as will per mit it to resume its share of duty with due efficiency. The appeal is recommended by the board of firemasters and the officers of the department. _ _ BUSINESS NOTICES. WEST INDIA GRASS HAMMOCKS. For sale by B. K. NEUFVILLE, auglO-1 No. 9 Broad street.

These Impos? tera hope by their false statements to obtain from the millions who patronize the great American Tonic a sufficient number of customers to'make -heir speculations upon the health of their nelgh iwrs profitable. As the demand for HOSTETTER'S BITTERS ls now so large and urgent as to tax to their fullest extent the facilities for Its manufac? ture, these petty attempts to wring in the merest trash by false representations, are of little conse? quence to Its proprietors. They are, however, a serious evil to the victimized. If, for example, at this warm season, when a real lnvlgorant ls great? ly needed, the sufferer from general debility, In? digestion, biliousness or nervous weakness, ls coaxed Into using a wlihy-washy compound with? out any medicinal virtue, Instead of .the sover? eign specific la which the rarest tonic and altera? tive vegetable elements are scientifically combin? ed, lt ls obvious that he will rue the day when he allowed himself to be thus deluded, lt is in the Interest of parties who have been or may be Influ? enced by the persuasion of plausible charlatans, that this article Is published.
