The facts stated in the following COM
munication, as far as they relate to the
meeting, sc. of the Hon. Mr. BENroN,
Senator in Congress from the state OF
Missouri, and Mr.. PUGH, driver of the
United States Mail Stage, are, we be-
iieve, pretty near correct:
ANOTHER DUEL,-On. Wednesday the
2ist ult. between the hours of 7 and 8
O'Clock, A. M. driver of the United
States Mail-Stage and Senator BENTON.
OF Missouri, CHANGED to meet, upon the
high road leading from this place to
Washington, Fayette county. A furi
Gus combat Immediately ensued, and
Tor want OF more gentlemanly weapons,
each party was compelled to resort to
their carriage whips, with which they
played upon each other most dexter.
ously for few minutes. A negro SER
want flew to the assistance of Mr.. Ben
ton, who, perhaps, in the absence of a
better, may be called his second, and
ungraclously dashed at the head of the
rash Phaeton, ponderous club, which
fortunatel y missed its aim. The driver
was more unfortunate in his choice of
friend; A stage passenger, who lack
ed mettle fer the fight, flew to the
woods, from instinct doubtless, but to
the utter establishment OF his principal.
The affair ended without serious injury,
TO the satisfaction of the parties as much
as if pistols had been fired in the air.
Whether the adray arose from political
difference or private grudge, is uncer-
tain. The cause will be made manifest
at the next session of Congress, and no
doubt call forth speech from the great
senator of Roanoake.-O lipe Branch.

The BRASDYwfyE.--This gallant ship,
destined 10 be ever.memorao.e IN Ame-
rican Naval annals as the bearer OF the
beloved Lafayette from the shores of
America, is to proceed about the middle
OF next month to the Pacific, to take
the place Of the frigate United States.
She is to be commanded, we under
stand, by Commodore JAcoB JONES, at
present one of the Commissioners in the
Navy Board. The Secretary of the
Navy consults the interest OF It, and OF
the country, by thus con6ding distant
and important commands TO officers of
tried gallantry, and approved talents
and prudence. Commodore JONES has
passed through one period of command
in the Mediterranean, with the appro-
baton of the Department and the coun-
try, and, by again absenting himself on
a three years. service from his home and
his family, gives new proof OF bis rea-
duess to sacrifice private comfort at the
call of duty, and sets to officers of IN
ferior grade an example worthy their
regard and imitation. BUR- FGt.
The gold regioa.-We were, few
days since, informed, by Ms. Angus
Chisholm, living 80 miles from this
town, short distance from the Mar
rows, on the east side of the Yadkin RE
yer, in Montgomery county, that con-
siderable quantities of gold have, OF late,
been found on his Iand-There are, at
this time, from SO to 100 hands con-
stantly at work there; and their finding
averages from two to five pennyweights
per man per diem. This gold is % TO
% carats fine, and is found in beautiful
particles from the size of a pin-head to
that of hckory-nut. Mr.. Chisholm
has obtained, in one way or another, a
bout 1000 dollars worth of gold this
year. n. G. paper.

eaving her, sister, whom she bad not
seen for many years, arrived from a dis,
lance and as she was anxious, Tor par
ticular reason, TO remember the DAY
and hour OF her arrival, she had made a
memorandum OF il upon this Tract,
WHICH she happened 80 have in her hand.
While she was making this statement to
the Judge, the poor prisoner bent Tor
ward with earnestno IS, to discover what
gentle voice was pleading in his behalf
for he had thought himself lriendlcss
and alone in this world-and he was
comioried that any one should take a
part in his sorrows, even though il should
not avail to the saving of his life. But
il did avail; for the hour of the murder
having been ascertained, and being the
same wiki that recorded upon the Tract,
it was evident that the prisoner must
have been IN a diiferen, place al the
time it was committed. He was ac-
cordingly discharged, and in a moment
was upon lis knees, pouring forth the
grateful feelings oil bis heart TO his kind
benefActress. And this, said th. Rev.
gentleman (presenung small pamphlet
which he held in his hand) this is he ve-
ry Tract that saved the poor mans life.

complaint, He says "the Executive,

now not adequate to the urgent wants oil

there is mere business on hand than the
