BOSTON, Oct. 29.—The barque Azor, Jones, ar-
rived in this port yesterday, brings the crews of the
vessels recently destroyed by the Confederate steamer
1 Alabama, alias " 290." They were conveyed from
i Fiores to Fayal, and thenco they came to Boston in
the Azor. The following are the names of the
vessels destroyed :—The ship Octmulgee, the ship
Benjamin Tucker, the barque Ocean Rover, the
barque Alert, the schooner Altamaha, the sehooner
Courser, the schooner Starlight, and the schooner
Weather Gage.
NEW YORK, Oct. 28.—The Dreadnought arrived
here from Liverpool, after making a long detour to
the northward, in order to avoid the attentions of
Capt. Semmes and the Alabama. Capt. Samuels
had heard of the boast of the commander of the
Alabama while in England, and, although admiring
his taste, determined to disappoint him, and, in
consequence, came out of the North Channel, and
made an extremely northern passage, coasting along
Greenland, Newfoundland, and Long Island. We
have it from good authority that our American
packets, having emigrant passengers on board, are
in no danger from Confederate privateers, as an un-
derstanding to that effect was had between the
owners of the 290 and her captain.
HAVANNAH, Oct. 20.—The consignees of the
Surprise and Blanche have publicly thanked the
Spanish men-of-war who went to their aid. The
captain and crew of the Blanche have entered their
protest against the United States' cruiser Mont-
gomery, that drove her ashore on this coast and
then set fire to her. The damaged cotton, consisting
of 600 bales, partly burnt, has been sold for 30,000
dols. The captain has made out a claim on the Ame-
rican Government for 200,175 dols. The Spanish
pilot who was on board claims 50,000 dols. A Con-
federate steamer, under the English flag, starts to-
morrow for Matamoras, loaded with arms, ammu-
nition, and other things needed by the Confede-
rates. It is openly stated by those connected with.
her that she is going to Mobile. The Spanish war
steamer Blasco de Garay, on her last voyage From
New Orleans, brought 1,000,000 dole. in specie,
which was intrusted to the care of the captain, and
which, on his arrival, he deposited in several banks
in Havannah, refusing to receive the percentage
usually paid by the banks for specie, although the
premium in this case would have amounted to a
considerable sum. This money belongs to some pas-
sengers from New Orleans, who proposed to give
a grand banquet to the captain of the frigate.
The Wachusett, with Commodore Wilkes, came
in on the 10th, and left again on the 14th.
She came in again on the 18th, and is still here.
The Edward Hawkins, a Confederate steamer of
800 tons, now loaded with guns, pistols, and arms
in general, powder, medicines, clothing, boots and
shoes, &c., sails to-morrow. She clears for Matta-
moms, but her crew say openly that they are going
o stop at a port in the Confederate States on the

THE DUEL AT
CA C
ROLHARLEST-)N, SOUTH
A.

The duel between Major A. Rhett and Colonel
Calhoun, briefly alluded to in our American news,
is thus described by the Mobile; Advertiser :
" Besides the principals and their surgeons, it is
said that there were six gentlemen present at the
meeting, three State senators, the Speaker of the
House of Representatives of North Carolina, a
leading member of the State Convention, and a
captain. Two of the senators also hold commis-
sions as officers of the army. The arrangements of
the meeting were conducted throughout with the
nicest regard for the etiquette of the code,' and I
have heard of several of those who were on the
ground who express their belief that a more fairly-
fought duel never, occurred. Major Rhett, the
challenged party, waived the' drop' shot, which he
preferred, and shot the ' rise.' He was dressed in
full uniform; Colonel Calhoun in citizen's dress.
Both fired almost instantaneously, M ,jor Rhett in
lan instant after Colonel Calhoun. The latter
missed, and fell with a ball through the middle of
his body. He survived only about an hour.
" The quarrel which led to this unfortunate re-
sult is said to have had its origin as long ago as
April, 1861, at the time of the bombardment of
Fort Sumter, in what Major Rhett considered re-
peated official trespasses of his inferior officer.
These led to the use on his part of offensive lan-
guage; and the repetition since of these alleged.
trespasses, and the offensive words by which they
were met, have aggravated and complicated the
affair. No explanation was asked or given. The
immediate cause of meeting was a recent duel be-
tween Major Rhett and a friend of Col. Calhoun,
who, though aware of existing difficulty, had eulo-
gised Colonel Calhoun in the presence of Major
Rhett. Therefore Major Rhett repeated his former
denuUciations of Colonel Calhoun, which the friend.
of the latter resented as an insult to himself and de-
manded satisfaction. In this first duel Major Rhett
received two fires of his adversary, he himself tiring
his second shot in the air. Here the meeting
I ended. In both duels Major Rhett was peremptorily
challenged. It is said that in the latter affair it
was proposed, on the part of the challenger, that
firing in the air should not be allowed."
