The challenge was drawn from the gallant FrEch-
man. who felt his honor highly offended at a reply
on the part of Cepaln Clark an article Of his pub
lished IN the Courier few days suce. The wea-
pous were pistols; alter the second Intellectual shot,
the friends Of Monsieur stepped forward and an

satisfied. The blunt Capt. Clarke, thinking there
must be some mistake, requested his seconds TO

Census OF FLoRfpA.-The enumeration ofthe
inhabitants of Florida has Just been completed Re-
turns have been in from all the counties but five.
The whole population is estimated at 4S, S31 souls,
of which % l73 whites, and 30 658 blacks,-The
Baltimore Republican says:
"Three- GfllIs OF the slave population, being H.
295, give according TO tie constitution, a lepresen-
tation Of Sc 36s, It's required that there should be
a population Of ~ 200 to admit the Territory into
the Union rs State. But it is commended. that I'M
der the treaty Of session, the old ratio of 80 600
guaranteed as the required amount Of population for
admission Under this view, a convention is about
to be held, and State constitution formed. Some
difficulty may be cipatcd when the subject comes
before the next session Of Congress"

4 raluahe gestion.-Gdcon b. Smith. Esq of
Baltimore has suggested most valuable method OF
destroying the chrysalis the Of the silk
worm. 1t consists simply in exposing them TO tho
influence of igned charcoal. friend to whom le
made the suggestion, has we learn. made an ex-
pertinent on his plan, which proved entirely sue
cessiul, and We have no doubt, ourself, that il
will prove most invaluable acquisition to silk cul-
tursts, as besides being the most economical meth
cd Of killing the chrysais, n will effect 1t without
hardening the gum the coooons, thus rendering
them much easier to reel. On rough calculation,
think fully one fourth of the expense Of the pro-
cess may be thus saved

INrAMous.-A few days ago, sum ofmoney
stolen near koscnsko, Mississippi. black girl,
who proessed to know all about the circumstances,
charged aicspectable white persGn with being the
thief Upon her testimony the citizens seized him,
tied him 10 tree, and = lynched" him with extreme
severity. During the operation man named Par
ker stood looking on and cXcaming, Give ii TO him.
He has the money lie is the thief, and will
confess IT. The lynchers found, however after
nearly killing their victim, that he would confess
thing, and he at length released, torn, bleeding,
and unable to stand. A few hours afterwards suspi-
cion began 20 rest upon Parker himself who, on
being tied 10 the same tree, roared out, 81 hare The
money" The whole sum was found in his possession
and that of the wench whose false testimony
the innocent man had been horrbly INITIATED.
This occurrence should be memorable lesson to
all who are disposed to take the vengeance of
the law into their own hands. The atrocous prac-
ce of lynchiug" desertes to be stamped acih the
indignation Of men and The wrQh of God. Every
actor in the bloody tragedy at kosciusko should
at once be driven forth, an exile from society and
all its sympathies. Louisville Journal.
