degree, deprived of its use, at least for all pur-
poses requiring quicSasss, s,eadiness, and nu .cu

the unimpsired strength OF both arms, am satis-

be correct or NOT, ID not now needful 10 be deter

the use of rifles may be made, in every respect,
as equals To effect this, let each Of the comba-

on which to place his rifle, which. by r'Hemen,
is commonly called a rest. /, therefore, for Gen
eraf Me,calfe, make this additional PROPOSE

The party giving the challenge, has, in no case
whatever, as conceive, the right to name the
weapon. or dictate the terms. II will be unavail-
