A fight, occurred In Beauregard’s army, between Borden’s Guard and the Wise Artillery, when a number were wounded, including Captain John Q. A. Nadenbush, of the Berkeley Guards, and Captain E. G. Alburtis, of the Wise Artillery. The fracas arose in consequence of a woman, named Belle Boyd, refusing to sell a bottle of whiskey to a soldier. She demanded two dollars for a pint bottle; soldier offered one; Mrs. Boyd refused to sell; soldier seized bottle; woman draw a knife; soldier did the same; Wise Artillery interfered in behalf of woman, and Borden’s Guard Artillery for soldier. It was a fierce conflict, and was only ended by the Interference of general officers. Twenty or thirty were badly wounded.
