A sensation has been created in Washington by
la duel near that city between General Lawrence, of the
United States' army, and Baron Kussarow, of the Prnmian
Legation. General Lawrence had made some offensive
remarks about the Baron, for which the latter challenged
him. The duel was accordingly arranged, the distance
being 15 paces, and the signal to fire being given by one of
the seconds, who clapped his bands when both were
ready. The Baron fired first, but too high for effect, and
General Lawrence, turning, remarked that he supposed he
was too late and fired into a stump. The principals were
anxious for a second fire, but the seconds interfering the
difficulty was settled.

THE NEW YORK ASROCIATED PREM.—The
present associated press is a simple partnership for the
collection of news, and consists of the proprietors of the
New York Harald, Tribune, Times, World, Jourmsl of
Commere, Sun and Express. These journalists own the
institution, and theoretically control its affairs, though its
details in fact are managed chiefly by its general agent (or
superintendent), acting under the immediate direction of
an executive committee, to whom the general agent appeals
for savice when necessary . Special agents are appointed
in the chief cities in the United States, all subject to the
general agent, and responsible to him. Besides these,
there are hundreds of smaller cities and towns, when the
local press is charged with the duty of acting u agents of
the hew York Association. The duties of these subordi-
nate agents are, first, to collect and forward to the general
agency the news of their respective localities ; and, second,
to receive the telegraphic news sac plied by the New York
office, and distribute the same to the prole of their vicinity.
The sealation has its agents also in Europe and China,
on the Pacific coast, in Central and South America, the
West Indies, and the British Provinoes of North America
everywhere, in fact, whence It is desirable to receive news
I/ telegraph. But the association, having thus obtained
t)
• news, supplies it for a percentage of its cost, in such
quantities as may he desired, to a vast number of journals
all over the United States—from Maine on the North
Atlantic to Texas on the Gulf of Mexico. mad to California
in the Pacilic.—Broodwav for May.
