Afair cf fhonor.-The personal difficulties which have for some time existed between Major Riddle and the Hon. Spencer Petis, and which grew out of political discussion in the public prints commenced last spring, was terminated yesterday, by an appeal to arms. The challenge, we understand, was given by MT Pettis and accepted by Major Riddle. The Riddle is nearsighted, which may explain the req son why, as the challenged person. he fought his an- agonst within five feet, the distance at which the parties actually fought! And we regret to add that both gentlemen are dangerously if not mortally wounded. Maj. Riddle is shot through the abdo- men, the ball lodging within MT Pettis is shot thro the side just below the chest the ball passing entirely through his body.
 We understand that the conduct of both parties on the ground was entirely honorable, and evnced the utmost coolness and courage, well as regard fol those laws which custom has prescribed for such oc casions.-St Louis Times, Aug, 27.

To ahe Editors of the Entelligencer.

GENTLEMEN: Suffer me through your columns to correct some interpretations, recently published in your paper in reference to the operations of the American Sunday School Union.
 An extract from the Presbyterian, "a paper falsely asserted to be "pubshed under the care and direc- ton of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church" has been copied in recent number of the lntellgencer, simply stating, in reference to the terprise of the American Sunday School Union for establishing Schools throughout the Valley of Mis- sssippi, that the astyear," e the year preceding May 1st, 1881 J had been chiefly expended in ex- ploring and other incpient operations" Hence the strange inference is made that the whole amount of money expended, about $38 000, has been paid for tauern bills and stage hire and not School es- tablished." Suffer me through your columns simply to refer any individual or editor, who desires correct information on this subject, to the Annual Report, and to the Weekly Journal of the American Sunday School Union; whence it will be ascertained that several hundred Schools have been established and that very large portion of the amount expended has been employed for establishing Repositories of Sabbath School Books, in different portions of the South and West. Permit me also to add the simple statement of fact, which ought not to be unknown to yourselves and readers that during the last months there have been esablishedin own State, by single Missionary of the American Sunday School Union not Presbyterian clergyman, but private member of the Baptist Church. more than 70 Sabbath Schools: By another Missionary, in the northern part of the State there have been formed nearly an equal number; while in different parts of the State many Sabbath Schools have been organized by voluntary Agents, without any expense to the American s. s. Union. One of these Agents is known to the writer, who will ever esteem it one of his greatest pleasures, to have been successful in organizing during the year at least 20 Schools for nstructng the youth and children of this State, in those duties and truths which taught in the sacred Scriptures. w.
 P. s. We trust it will not be unnoticed by your readers that, instead ofthe statement that not a School has been established the truth is, that hun dreds have been formed in the single State of Ala
