PETERSBURG LETTER. .4 Snley Jlelange Cockade uosmip From Grave to (say. Sun Correspondence. Petersburg, V"a., Jan. 20. The leaden dulness which has hung over this city since the beginning of .the new year was somewhat dispelled on, Thursday last, when the rumor flew about the streets that a duel was on the tapis between two "prom- inent'gentlemen of the city. And, later in the day, it became known that Capt. Wm. E. Hinton, Jr., and Mr. R. II. Glass, Jr., had been brought befow. the Mayor, charged with intendiug to engage in a hostile meeting. The evidence not being sufficient to prove this, however, they were discharged-. - - . Mr. R. H. Glass, Jr., is the son of the editor of the Petersburg Post, and Capt. AVm. E. Hinton is a member of the State Senate and was the nominee of the Con servative party, in this "district, for Con gress in the last campaign, being beaten by Dr. Joseph Jorgensen, f Republican. The Post, although claiming to be a Con servative paper, refused to support the nominee, attacking his public course and' charging crookedness in the way the nom ination was obtained, and also in the management of the Upper Appomattox Company, of which Capt. Hinton is presi dent. For his course in not supporting the party's nominee, the name of the editor was dropped from the list of members of the. Conservative Club, an organization which he had helped to form.5 Mr. Hin ton, also, in a speech at the Academy ot Music, denounced him in the severest terms, as a consequence of ivhich, it is stated, Mr. R. 1L Glass, Sr., was at that time put under bonds to ' keep the peace. It was hoped that the matter hac come to an end with that,' when, to the utter sur prise at least of the majority of our citi- yens, it was again Drought neiore tne puo- lic by Mr. Glass, Jr. No developments having since taken place, I trust that the affair has blown oyer. At Capt. Hinton 's request, a special committee of the Senate is now investigat ing his connection with the Upper Appo mattox Company. Hymen's torch has been burning bright ly in this city.no less than three marriages having taken place within the last week, Miss Julia Dal ton wedding Mr. T. V. Col lins, of this city ; Miss Laurti Badger, Mr. J. Hampden Slater, of Richmond, and Miss Mary Boiling Kemp, daughter of the late Judge "Wyndham Kemp, of Glouces ter county; Mr. Joseph E. Washington, of Tennessee.' , The last named marriage was solemn ized, in magnificent style, in the elegant Tabb Street Presbyterian church. The church was crowded, every available space beins occupied, with a most fashionable congregation, and a general hush of admi ration followed the appearanceof the bride, who is a tall, stately beauty indeed, ser eral inches taller than her husband and was an acknowledged belle at the White Sulphur last season; Rumor has it that the bride possesses in her own risht the snug little sum of 20,000.

When completed it will be one of the neatest and most sensibly constructed building's of the kind -v - w in the South', an ornament to the city. The large tobacco factory of Cameron & Brother, which was burned some time ago, is. also being rebuilt as quickly as possible. I am sorry to say, 'though, - that no steps have been taken as yet looking to the res toration of the beautiful library building, which was so unneccessarily allowed to fall a prey to fire last year. Since the beginning of the year retail business has been at a stand-still, and there is but little hope that it will revive for a month to come. . Last. Sunday, a week ago, Bishop Whit tle confirmed a class of twenty persons at Grace Episcopal Church, of which the good Dr. C. J. Gibson is the rector. On the evening of the same day, he confirmed a class of sixteen persons at St. Stephen's Church. Of this flourishing and only col ored Episcopal Church in Petersburg, Rev. Giles B. Cook, formerly of Gen. Lees staff, is the rector A sad and distressing accident occurred recently, in the vicinity of the city, by. which Willie Winfree, a handsome and promising young man of eighteen, the only child of a widowed mother, lost his life. It seems that a party of young men, all more or less under the influence of liquor; had met Winfree j returning from Chesterfield Cenrt Houpc about ten miles from the WILMINGTONjC., city, ami wanted to accmpahy him home. He proposed that those who were on horse back, should continue on the straight road, while he, driving a horse and buggy, would go down! a by-road, and see if the bridge which crossed Swift Creek a small stream about three miles from the city had been washed away by the freshet. Whether the bridge had been swept away, or whether Wiiifree had been mistaken in the crossing does not appear; enough, when fbund by his friends at nine o'clock that night, his horse was drowned and he was holding on to thestump of a tree in the middle of the stream, with the water up to his neck. In this position he had stood for five hours, and, when his friends had. heard his cries, frotfe to death within twelve feet of the shore before they could save him. -' R. Notes North Carolinian.
