Cumming end TDuffe, once ntoTe--We are in
formed by gentleman from Washington, that the
curtain has Just fallen upon the Third Act Of the
celebrated Modern Farce of THE DUELLl5TS.
The information comes direct from gentleman in
Augusta, in letter to gentleman at Washington,
which our informant perused. The following is the
substance OF the facts communicated to US - The
moment Mr. M'Dufe saw the last and most abu-
siye and insulting pamphlet published by Mr.. Cum.
ming, he repaired to Augusta, and demanded
Injecting" forthwith. Col Cumming conlr, ed to
delay the matter for four or five days. and in the
mean time much difficulty experienced in set
Ting and arranging the rules by which they were to
light. M'Duffie insisted that they should stand at
short distance, Wheel and stand square, face to
face. at the word One, Two, and that neither
should on any account chaage their positions Thi,
rule was ultimately agreed upon. After the parties
had taken their position, and the second. who gave
the signal was repeating One, Two, &c. Cumming
altered his attitude from the erect to corner-ke
thrustDg position. As latitude is every thing
he was reprehended by MIR M Duhie, for violating
the rules. The latter slept from the line OF fire,
and The second cried "Stop'' But Cumming ne
verheless fred at M'Dufiie aud missed him The
second of the latter became ncensed at the COM
duct of Cumming, that he stepped up to blow his
brains out as he had right to do, By the iaacS of
hohor, for his shameful violation OF the regulations
Of the course. M'Duffie, however, threw away his
own pistol, and arrested the arm OF his second thus
magnanmousy saving the life of his prosecuting
and unrelenting foe. Cumming it is added, suisse
quently insisted that he had right to change his
position, and that the firing was purely "a mpcltaai-
cal impulse M'Dufiie then agreed to submit the
matter to referees, and if they say Cumming be-
haved fairly & honoraby, he will be ready Instantly
to fight him again; if not, Cumming will stand
disgraced. So there is yet chance that the
Farce, which has made much sport, will turn QUE
to be ga most boodie Tragedie."

Col. Cumming and Mr.. M'Duffie have had q
;hird meeting, at Cambletown, dying little above
Augusta, on the Savannah rveI in this state) on
Monday morning the 2lst inst. The preliminary
arrangements were all made. and the parties took
their stations. The word was won by Mr.. M'Duf

Col. Cumming threw his right leg forward, with
his knee bent, sinking his body midway 10 the
ground, nearly in horizontal position; and present
ing merely his head and shoulders for Mr.. M Duff
life to fire at. Mr.. M'Dufiie observing his posture
called out stop; and seeing Colonel Cumming was
still eevatng his pistol to fire, after he had thus
called out, sunk his body to nearly the level of that
Iof his antagonist. At the same instant Col. Cum
mngs pistol discharged, and the ball it is pre-
lsumed passed over Mr.. M'Dufie's head. MIR
M'Dufiie then objected to Col Cummings position,
which he refused to alter. The parties OF course
parted, and Col. Cummings position is to be con-
sidered by board of honor.--The above is a cor

tors +" Ii the crop be dew rotted and

The recent invention of a Machine for
preparing and dressing hemp or F lax
without dew or water rotting, bids fair to
become an important acquisition 10 the
country. The one in New-York dresses
it in a dry state without rotting, with
great expedition, at the expense Of two

stone, which killed the larva of the
worm, when it is melamorphosed into a
butterfly, and periorates the ball in COM
ing out. The balls were then preserved
that the silk might be spun at leisure.
In cutting open ball of the preceding
year, the dead worm was found to be as
dry as powder, and by rubbing it be-
tween the fingers, fell to dust, while the
ball was free of stain. In Ave weeks a
crop OF IS pounds of silk was gathered
as good in all respects, as any e. er rails
ed in the South oil France or Italy, from
worms raised in piazza, with no other
check to the free operation OF the air,
than what was occasioned by the Chinese
blinds, the sashes having been left open !;
which proves, that the climate of our
middle states is favorable to the raising
OF silk worms.
The writer on this subject supposes,
that immense quantities OF the Gods or
raw silk may be raised in this country,
as we'll as cotton, and sent abroad to be
spun; thereby producing no contempti-
bic source of revenue.
He also offers the opinion, that better
goods can be obtained from France and
Italy, and at a cheaper rate, by sending
them cur native Gods.

I PROGRESS OF STEAMBOATS,.
Ii is more than ten years since the edi-
tor of this Magazine received letter
from bis friend Fulton, in New York, to
aperize him Of the success of his first
steam packe. between that city and AL.
bany. The substance OF that letter was
inserted in the Monthly Magazine for
March, 1911 bu, before it was printed,
the editor read it to the late Earl SIAN
hope, whose experiments on mechanical
navigation had excited much attention.
That nobleman, however, like the Douay
professors in the case Of the telescope,
set about to demonstrate the imhossibii-
~ Of the thing, and convinced himself,
ii not his auditor, that Fulton had nus
represented the fact. The letter, howe
yer, appeared, and the attention of our
speculative mechanics being drawn TO
the subject, the American steam boat
was NOT only soon initiated in the rivers
|of Britain, but essentially improved by
their skill and science. We have now,
therefore, more than one hundreds steam
vessels playing in various parts Of the
empire, not merely against the current
ofour rivers, so as to render parallel ca
mails as ridiculous as the aqueducts Of tho
ancients, but performing theirIvoyages, in
tue face OF tides and winds, in the ada
cent seas. Thus London and Edin-
burgh, London and Calais, Liverpool and
Dup:n, Hclyhead and Dublin, Brls,o.
and Liverpool, Brighton and Dieppe, are
now connected by steam vessels, which
perform their voyages in measured time |;

SILK WORMS.

The Editors Of the Gazette have been
favored with translation of some re-
marks on the Raising Of Silk Worms,
grounded upon the experiments oil the
writer.
From these experiments il appears
that the raising OF Silk Worms is lot
only very simple but attended with little
labor, and does not divert the hardy hands
of men from the work of their fields, as
women, girls and boys may be adyan-
tsgeously employed il spreading the
leaves OF the white mulberry tree. which
is all the nourishment the Silk Worm
requires.
Shortly after the declaration Of indie
pendencc, many OF the ladies OF Ph,la-
delphia turned their attention to raising
silk worms at their own homes, and they
wore gowns OF silk Of their own raising !;
and to this day, rows Of the mu berry are
still standing in the vicinity OF tina, city.
Numerous causes cou Id be here enume-
rated why the good work was not prrse-
yered in., But the oblec. Of the writer is,
10 induce thousands, who cannot be more
probably employed, to re-commencc,
or start anew, in Que Of the most delight
fut pursuils--and for this purpose gives
the following experiment.
In the first week Of May, when the
leaves Of the Mulberry began 10 expand,
the writer, who resides abou, two miles
from Philadelphia, took out OF china
tureen, paper upon which the butter
flies OF the preceding year had laid their
eggs. The tureen had remained un-
touched in closet OF an upper room on
the north side Of the house, where there
had been no fire. The paper of eggs
was opened before an open window, in
order to ascertain whether they would
hatch by the simple action of the atnos-
phere, without the aid of artificial heat.
Between the 5th and 9th Of tine month,
more worms, not larger than ants, were
Matched, than he could keep with the
small quantity of mulberry trees he had
been able to collect.
In the piazza fronting the south,
wainscoated, closed with tea windows,
and Chinese blinds, wire 10 feet by 4
was prepared. The worms attached
themselves to the branches of mulberry
laid on the paper where they had hatch
ed, and then deposited on the wire frame.
An extent Of about ,8 inches square was
at first sufficient to contain the whole OF
the worms. The fresh leaves were dis
tributed to them with free hand. Their
growth was so rapid, that in less than a
week they occupied the whole of the
frame! In the fourth week they were TOO
crowded. Signs Of their coming to ma
turity were risible-s,nall sticks and
brush were arranged for them to climb
and work upon. By the 3D. Of June,
they had sd far advanced in spinning, that
sample ofsilk was exhibited at the Cat
tie Show that day, which attracted the
attention and admiration Of the members
Of the Agricultural Society. A week
after, the crop was gathered, and tho
roughly smoked in barrel with brim-

part of the cargo, traded some time on
the Wabash, and returned to this place
and now lies al this landing. A Mir.
Morris, salt merchant, assured ne
that this was the second boat that had
crossed The mountains The whole dis
tance traversed by land and water, from
10 5000 miles! perhaps it might have
started from Richmond.
