The communication of a BUTCHER"
promised in our last was Withdrawn by the wr-
ter, after more mature consideration. Wehave
been requested to say however that its contents
were written IN reply to a paragraph. publish,
ed in one Of the papers of the toan. in which
our butchers were generally and at n dash. ac-
cused Of ilthinoss, and with smoking segars
in the market, to the annoyance of customers.
Tho charges contained in the offensive article
were not based upon facts, and we take pleas
nre in saying, that with but one exception the
butchers attached to the Providence Market
are remarkable for their cleanliness decorum
and strict regard for all the decences AMI oh
servances Of life. We arc sorry that we are
compelled to make a solitary exception, and
hope that an occasional hint will dissipa,e the
exception Of which in candour We arc bound
to speak.

THE RAIN. Tho excessive rains Of the
last two or three days have caused considera-
BILE annoyance to those our citizens who reside
on the west side of tho river adjacent to the
lands Of The Dorrancs Street Company. A
gentleman residing in that neighborhood went
we'll stored with the good things Of life and in
the morning to his astonishmcnt found it filled
with water. Several other individuals of the
neighborhood were similarly unfortunate and
the evil. will probably induce them to make a
speedy attempt to apply remedy.

hold my country; she shall nsycr be disgrace
ed whilst II is in my power to prevent it,"
Witnessing the innexible determination Of
Decatur, the General lowered his tone of vio-
lence, and in,reated in his turn. that there
should be no interference with his purpost,-
A" General Jackson" said Decatur, "I respect
the feelings of a soldier, but the course which
you have taken in this affair, cannot receive tho
sanction Of any one, whose judgment is free
from the influence Of passion. must, there
fore, again entreat Of you, to abandon your
present rash and inconsiderate intentions"
Jackson gave Decatur a familiar slap on tho
shoulder, and observed "you are gallant SOL
der, will take your advice i know you would
not advise me to any course which is incom-
patibls with tho honor of soldier"
We submit this instance Of unparalleled au-
dacity and Of ungovornable temper, to the
consideration Of the world. and shall tcke the
liberty to ask. even tho determined advocates
of General Jackson. If thoy are disposed to
place their lives and fortunes, at the disposal
Of a modern Nero, a man. who chuckles and
sounds the trumpet Of the bravo Of Venice, !"
whilst he tramplcs upon all the laws of the
lands and the usages and customs Of civilized
life.

DUEL AND ArFRAY. We copy from tho
Mlssissippian, published at Natchez, the fol-
lowing account Of bloody affair. which took
place in tho vicinity Of Na,ehez OH the 2sth
ult.
"A number Of persons Of respectable stand
ing, az or Is IN numbcr) arrived in this city
and vicinity, on Sunday and Monday last
from Alexandra, La. with the avowed purpose
Gas has been understood by letters from thence) }
of settling some personal dlfficu'tics, of long
standing, by private combat. The vicinity OF
this city, on the margin Of the Mississippi, it
appears, was selected by thcm for thor battle
ground. Rumour was very busy on Monday
and Tuesday, and many conjectures af1oat as
TO the time, place, manner, and number of
combatanis. On Wednesday afternoon, infor-
nation reachod rs, from a source to bo relied
on, that duel had taken place between two
Of the partics-that two shots had been ex-
changed without effect. and the affair be-
tween these persons amicably ended; but that
as the parties who had fought, were leaving
the ground, they were assailed by some others,
and after acrmony on both sides, a most des-
perats, savage, and san gunary contest COM
menced, which resulted in the immediate death
Of Major Norris Wright. and Gen. - Cum
ney; that Mr.. - Bowie and Mr.. Alfre
both received very dangerous
wounds, tho former NOT expected to recover.

Some time since an account was published
in this paper, Of the killing Of a young man, by
Henry Shulze, the founder of the town of Ham
burg, S. c. He and his associate, Alexander
Boyd, have been tried, and found guilty OF
manslaughter. Tho character of Mr.. Shuze
has beon established for twenty years past, by
acts Of charity, humanity and bencv voionce. -

passod We believe ia tho year 1908, is record
ed as plea Of" not guilty." and the Court
proceeds to trial, as il the arraigned had orally
pleaded to that effect Such was the position
in which Lieutenant Mosher stood before the
Court, and as his plea had already been re-
ceved aud recorded. and as he adduced no
evidence to show his innocence. the Court had
no other alternative lof. them than that Of pro-
nouncng him gully.
In the case OF Colonel Blodgst, araigncd
and tried by Court Martial, convened at East
Greenwich, on charges preferred ty Brgadier
General Hawes, tho same objection might havo
been raised, that was started on the trial of
Lieutenant Moshcr, for Of the whole Court
only four were his equals in rank ;-and yet he
complained not, nor did he dissent to their pro-
ceedngs. And. as the gentleman. who ap-
paarcd as counsel for Lieutenaet Mosher. was
also engaged as counsellor IN that trial, we
are not little surprised that the discre pa ncy
Of peerage did not then arrest his attention
and consideration. and that he did not urge it,
Perhaps, however, the fact might have es-
capped him; or it may be, that finding that in
the present instance, that he had a des-
perate case to manage, he resorted to the
best possible suggestions his fancy could con-
ceive, TO enable him to escape dilemma, of
all others tho most humiliating and mortify-
ing -"sef defeat"
Whether ignorance Of tho law Of the land,
and Of Martial usages, iLduccd the counsellor
to give to his client the ruinous advice he did,
we are unable 10 say, but be this as it may, it
is certain that its adoption has proved most
unfortunate, and wo impatently wait 10 hear
the gentleman's defence.

year 1901, previous to the cession of Louisia-
ma to the United States, two keel Boats, each
containing about thirty souls, arrived at Con-
eordia, from the upper country, and soon after
landing made arrangements for combat that
they were singled out in pairs, armed with
drks and pistols, and thus they fought with tho
most savage fury. till only two Of the combat

origin. in the political disputes oftwo eminent

to have some knowledge Of the ultimate do
signs Of Aaron Burr. The principal parties 10
