REPORTED DUEL.

The cars from Fredericktown brought us a
rumor that duel had been fought between the
Hon. Francis Thomas and William Price, Esq,
of Hagerstown, and the public anxiety has been
much excited throughout the whole of yesterday
We have endeavored to get the best information,
and we fear the worst. The rumor is, that Mr.
Thomas was killed and Mr.. Price badly wound
ed There is doubt that the parties were to
have bad meeting. There is great unwil-
lingness to believe the rumor, and we unite in
the hope that it is not true.

bin" boys had congregated on the wharf to re-
ceive it, and rent the air with shouts of acclama-
ton. The next morning they had grand rally,
and the @ball' was rolled through every street
in the city, accompanied with martial music
The great-orbed wonder is by this time received
at Nashville

A great political gathering took place at

''From 10 o'clock in the morning, until P.

{ the country-the real Democracy of the eoun-
try,-some on foot, some in four and FIVE horse
wagons, and others in all kinds of vehicles, that
could be brought in requisition for the occasion
continued to pour into Orwigsburg, with banners
streaming in the air, together with the soul-in-
spring sound of music from the German, Potts
vile, and Port Carbon Bands who kindly vol
ofthe multitude, exhibited a spectacle which it
is impossible for pen to describe, nor it be
realized except by those who were present and
witnessed the scene. 1t was a mighty gathering
OF the people"
