AN AFFAIR OF HONOR, took place on
the Alabama Stste line, near this place on
YESTERDAY morning, between Hiram @.
Runnels. President Of the Mississippi u
Mon Bank. and Volney E. Howard, both
Of Jackson this State, in which the latter
was dangerously wounded in the breast
the ball having entered at point near the
right lobe and made its exit al distance
oftwelve inches on the opposite side. Run
nels escaped unhurt The distance was
twelve paees,-and one fire.
We IA ot know the cause which led
10 this reneontre-but have been informed
ii originated out of some anonymous arti-
cles that appeared in the MississiPPian
not long since, written by Howard, which
went to impeack the character of Run.
nels. But however, Just the cause IN the
estimation of either party which led to
this, all good men must deprecate an act
which the laws Of God, and Of men con
denim, and against which are denounced
the severest penalties. Is there no othcl
way, more honorable, in which men car
adjust their disputesl It is for society tc
termine. Without public opinion to bacl
them laws are nothing!

SOUTHERN REPoRTER.--Wo promised il
the number before our last, to lay before our
readers some Of the reasons that influenced
the talented editor Of this Journal to support
Gen. Harrison. We accordingly subjoin the
following:
1--WE frankly confess, we are conv.nc-
ed we have been in error--doing wrong
10 ourseli, our country, and posterity, in
the humble but hearty support we nave
hitherto rendered tue Administration !;
we therefore, abandon it. We had
believed that the policy Of the Adj
ministration would promote the prosperity
and happiness of our country. 1t is now
plain to our mental vision, that moro ru,
nous policy, one more destructive, TO all
the great branches of industry and trade.
which make up the sum total Of our coun-
try's business, wealth and prosperity.
could not be pursued. We see the most
energetic and enierprisingof our citizens
daily failing around US; We see every
branch of business stagnant-every trade
and profession suffering we see all the
chief staples, and particularly the great
staple of the South, depressed to de-
gree totally ruinous to the producer: we
see the government ITSELF with all its
boosted self-sustaining powers, after sepa.
rating itself from the people, and found.
ering in the mazcs Of a labyrinthian SEX
pertinent" reduced to the necessity OF IS.
suing batch after batch of treasury shin.
plasters TO pay off its creditors.
We have seen all these things, more IN
pity than in anger; and seeing them, In.
stead of realizing the prosperity and hap.
piness so long promised by the Admins
tration, and believing ourself in error in
sustaining It, we now abrogate ourallegi.
ance to locofocoisrn, and renounce thereto
all favor, affection, and fealty. As the
wavward youth, after long rambling in
the giddy walks of profigacy and ruin
forgetful of her to whom he has phghted
his boyish faith, turns retrospectiyely to
his past career, and laments the blind IN
fatuation that lured him to destruction So
turn we TO our g first love-" the Goddess
of Whggery-pure and unsullied as when
we left her, we win not say but with q
fixed determination, by increased zeal fol
her happiness, to in some measure atone
for the deep wrongs we have done her.
We have done. Every honest man
will understand us--every magnanimous
citizen appreciate our motiye-every can
did patriot applaud the act and IN no
wise do we regard either the good or evil
opinion of any other portion of the hu-
man family.

neighbor for some brandy, having heard that

physician nearer than ASHFORD. Not know

Steam Plough-On Saturday last, a trial
was made in one of the fields on the estate of
Fossil, near Glasgow, of the steam plough in
tended for the cultivation of the sugar lands of
British Guiana. This trial was completely
successful, and gave great satisfaction to the
numerous party who witnessed it; among
whom we observed Col. Campbell, of Fossil.
The field was land out similar to those in the
colony, which have canals on each side, run
ming parallel with one another. The machin-
cry consists of two iron boats, one containing a
small high-pressure steam engine, with drum
round which the endless chainor rope is cooled
and the other reversing pully, by means OF
which the chain or rope is extended and allow
ed to work which ever way is required; the
ploughs are attached to this chain, and made
to work backwards and forwards with great
rapIdity and accuracy. MIR. McRea, whose
long residence in the colony, and great practi-
cal experience of the working of sugar estates,
had directed his attention for a considerable
time past, to the great and absolute necessity
Of employing some other power to supersede
cultivation by manual labor, invented the steam
plough Glasgow Herald.

THE associated and combined principles Of
Federalism Abolitioaism and high tariff, which
have possession ofthe heart and bosom ofMr.
Van Buren,, united to his indomitable passion
for wealth and the love of splendid govern
ment are such as to render him peculiarly UNI
suited to be the President of Republican peo-
pie. His feelings are truly monarchal, and his
principles opposed 10 the free enjoyment ofciv-
il liberty by mankind, unless all are made equal
the black with the white-more, unless the
whole are so restricted as toplace them in
dependant and mental condition. OF the truth
of these remarks we need only refer to the
tenor ofhis whole life. At one lime we find
him in the most unreasonable and fagitIous
manner opposing the interests ofthe south, by
enleavoring to abridge new state Of her just
and equitable rights when presented for admis-
sion into the Union; at another we find him
casting his vote, which DID place the NEGRO
on footing with the white man-admittihg
him to the free exercise Of the elective fran
chise at another we find him advocating and
voting for the odious measure Of a high tariff,
by the operation of which northern interests
were be built up at the sacrifice of the south;
at another we find him mingliDg with the
politicians of Europe, hasking in the sunshine
Of royalty, imbibing the aristocratic principles
Of foreign Courts and despotic government
and finally when the wheel of fortune has
placed him in the highest Office in his owr
| country we find him sending to ALL these gov
ernments for Information concerning their man.
agement, that he may be enabled to nfollow In
the footsteps" tn all the anti-republican prinei
pies by which only, such governments can BE-
maintained.
In consequence of all these things and more
besides we again say that Mr.. Van Buren, i
unfit, to be the President of republican PEG
pie. That there are many TO be found whc
advocate his claims to the high Office to whlcl
he presumes again to aspire we are aware
Royalty and Despotism has its advocates il
all countries: and is the strongest indication
of The danger that awaits the liberties of the
people wherever it abounds.
