Bloody, AGroy near Fort Gibson.-We hav,
been informed that, on Tuesday night last, a bloody
affray occurred at n small cabin, on Bayou Menard
near Fort Gibson. 1t seems that number o.
Whiskey is carried on, drinking and carousng.
Amongst others were VIM. Nicholson, a mixed
blooded Cherokee, end eight or ten Of the United
States Soldiers stationed at Gibson. Nicholson
it is said, after many efforts, succeeded provok.
ing difficulty with the soldiers, and in the aray
which followed, killed ono of them on the spot,
and stabbed two others-one, it is supposed, NOR
tally. Nicholson succeeded in making his escape.


Another Persion.-Since the foregoing was in
type we have another version ofthe afI'ray, which
occurred at "frolic" in the immediate vicinity
of the, Fort and not, as stated above, on Bayou
Menard. According to this version, :here were
present fifteen or twenty soldiers, some of whom
created a quarrel, that caused Considerable noise
and interrupted awhile tho dancing. with The view
of revengns pique they cherished nsnins, Mich
olson, on account Of some previous difficulty he.
tween them. The quarrel having been, howev.
or; apparently quetod, the dance was rencwcd-
While this was going on, tho soldiers the mos, of
them having crowded into the house and complete
ly blocked up the toer, mado an assault upon
Nicholson, who retroa,ed into one corner of the
house. lie was there Lesot by the assailants-
one of them, attempting to knock him down with
a club, no killed instantly by staboing with a
butchers knife.


Others then attacked him when lie wounded
three of them and made bis escape.


Such is the substance of the accounts that have
reached US, and we give them withou. vouchng
for the correctness of either, further than as to
the deadly termination of the atfray, the whole of
is, no doubt, the resu, Of drunkenness.


The wounds Of two of the soldiers are slight,
but those Of the other MORTAL A command, we
understand has been despatched in pursuit of Mich.
