The friend II Cal. Walton, unofllciallY men-
toned 10 the friend of DIR. Mcmahon, that II
had been suggested that il might be the inten-
ton Of Dr. Mcmahon 10 receive Col. Walton s
fire without returning il; and IT was due TO both
parties, that IL should be explicitly stated
that Col Walton intended, under any circum.
stances, TO continue the IRE until one Of tue
parties should fail.
The parties having taken their ground the
first fire. was delivered without effect, al
the secsnd fire both were wounded, but Kept
their ground. The friend OF DIR. Mcmahon ad-
yanced 10 the friend of Col. Walton aud asked
il Col. Walton wished 10 take another shot i,
the friend of Col. Walton replied that Col. w.
was then enable to take another shot, and re-
quested that tue parties might leave the ground
10 have their wounds examined, which was
consented TO, and the parties retired TO an ad
joining shade. Soon after, the friend of Col
Walton met the friend of Dr. Mcmahon and
said, in consequence of his wound Col. Walton
would tie obliged 10 leave the held, and that
he wished Col. w. 10 remove TO the nearest
house TO have his wound dressed. The friend
of DIR. Mcmahon asked The friend of Col Wal.

replied the affair can proceed no further it

Another report is also totally untrue. That
