An Affray in St. Louis.

--The St. Louis Democrat, of the 1st inst., says a fight occurred in front of the Virginia Hotel, Jefferson city, Mo., between ex Governor Stewart and Brig. Gen. Brown, in which General Brown struck Gov. Stewart with a chair. Gov. Stewart was placed in the guard house, where he remained until Monday morning. About 9 o'clock he made his appearance in the Convention and shortly thereafter was arrested and again marched to the guard-house. The citizens became indignant, and were making preparations for holding a meeting and releasing the Governor by force. Gen. Brown ordered his release, and he is now in the Convention.
