THE CHIMBORAZO ROW. – From our account of the fight at Chimborazo in yesterday’s issue, it would naturally be inferred that there was an insurrectionary move on the part of negroes towards the citizens of the neighborhood. In fact, such was our impression from the accounts we gathered, and when we wrote of it. Since that time, however, facts have been developed which show that the demonstration was nothing more than the result of several fights and disturbances between the young men and the negroes of the neighborhood and of Chimborazo. Everything has since been quiet.
