The real cause of the duelng mania in New Or

DsAR SIR-Our city is dull, dull. The heats are
very great and as you know the condition of south
ern city in midsummer it is useless for me to dscant
on this topic.
Our banks are getting on smoothly and will be able
to resume so soon as your Safety Fund batch will
come back to the honest path. We are resolved you
shall not rob us Of our specie by dishonesty and SO
you may be assured we shall remain till Mr..
Van Burens pretty system shall get its legs again.
The public confidence in our institutions is undated,
and this arises from the fact that banks have from
the first gone on upon correct principles They have
nd m he Of thcivc he
late commercial storm merely gave US sweep of its
outskirts
In political affairs there is but little doing The
views ofour delegation in Congress are well known.-
Great influences have been brought to bear to make
the stern South Carolnan bow the knee TO Baal but
he will not yield title. We are well pleased that
Poinsett should be where he is, but the bait won't
take. Van Buren, will never get the support of South
Carolina. She has too many sons fit for the high
station now occupied by very ordinary man, send
in her adhesion to him. John G. Calhoun has her
affections and she is content to throw away her vote
like chivarous knight, while he is uncaled to the
councils of this great nation. South Carolina does
not complain.
We are busy in talking about the great railway to
Cincinnati That we shall reach Cincinnati in five
years, on continuous rail road, have no doubt We
can prevent its successful execution while the object
is develope the immense resources Of our interior,
of Kentucky, and of the Queen Of the West
Our cotton market is heavy The buyers are con-
fined to regular houses and there but little dis
position to speculate in thsface Of the present disturb
ed state of the money market. The cotton market
Of the Herald gives great satisfaction here. 1t will
serve to elicit correct information from all quarters,
and situated you are you give the public by far
the most correct and philosophical views as to the
future, SO mportant to the cotton planter.
We are looking with great interest to the coming
Congress. Many of our great men-men pure and
true look upon the approaching contest for the mo-
MES of the nation, the knell of constitutional
liberties. For myself still have hopes in the nteR-
rity of the majority. The danger IS in the insdious
movements Of the leaders at Washington. Yours,
truly.

Civilizasion I'm Florida.
We have had the most bloody fight that has ever
taken place in this country and with people too who
should be friends. The circumstances are these.
On Saturday last, there was a shooting match at
Shell Point Some time during the day dispute arose
between Macon and one of the Walkers. Macon and
ffhughtOn were preVWusyP iePdieu. SAoeoh AoA Aoui
pistols and double barrelled gum fight ensued.-
Four Of the Walkers, Arthur Macon Haaghton, his
nephews and James Howard fought against them
However, have made mistake about the Walkers
| 1t was John Nat and William Walker and one Gris-
set, Walkers overseer. Macon shot buck load ihro
the body Of Grisset and he died shortly after, and
Macon got so severe Gu. in the abdomen that he died
on Monday night; Haughton hes in very precarlous
state, bat il is thought that all the Walkers and James
Howard will survive, though they are severely wouna-
ed Macon shot six times and every shot took effect
every one engaged got taste.
There was report in Town on Saturday, that there
had been fight near Mariana between a party Of
Creeks and Captain Browns command, but il has
no credit as we have heard no more Of IT,
The general health Of the town is about the same
the negroes appear to suffer more than white folks
this year. Business is unusually dull-every body
com plains.
