An EDITORIAL Mon. The elections in
Alabama are now going on, and the can
vass has been characterized by considera-
Bile passion. Eenry S. Foot, ESQ. editor
OF the ruscumbia Patriot" in the course
OF the newspaper discussions, assailed
with great severity Col. Winston. Being
called on by one of Col. WIS. sons to re-
tract the offensive expressions, the editor
reiterated them, and was instantly attacked
by several of the Winston partv.', and
severely beaten. The timely arrival on
the spot Of several citizens of Tuscumbia.
the editor thinks, saved his life. The
conspicuous Of his assailants were William
Winston and DR.. J. D. billiard, formerly of
Amherst, Va. both of whom were challenq-
ed by the editor, and both refusing to FIGHT.
they were published by Mr.. Foot. A duel
has since been fought between Mr.. F. and
Mr. Edmund Winston, skin deep wounds
were inflicted, and the parties separated.
An affair took place, at Huntsville, (Ala-
bama,) on the Odd ult. between a Mr. James
A4>oioiig, aud r1r. And-e+~- Wills. Editor of n
paper called the Democrat in which the latter
was Killed. A communication had appeared in
That newspaper, passing structures on Mos
conduct, in consequence of which he called
on the Editor to demand the name of the writer
After some delay, the Editor peremptorly
| refused to comply or apologize, and appeared
in his Office with arms. The interference OF
the citizens during the day, to prevent recon-
tire, is said to have been unavailing though
if they had kept such articles as magistrates and
peace-oficcrs for occasional use, we suppose
that something might have been done. The
parties met IN the evening, and Mr. Wills was
