TATAL prE1.--A duel was fought yesfar-
day morning at Vaudeville between Messrr.
SAMUEL WRIGHT ard S. w. oAKEY, mer-
chants Of this city. The hostile meeting crew
out OF certain articles in the Vicksbnrg ser
,inAi grossly abusive OF Mr.. OAgET, and OF
which Mr.. WareHT was the reputed author.
The fTss alaat proved inedsctual. AT tn $3.50
cond Mr.. WRfgHT fell, having r. ceiyed h!s ad-
versary's ball in h1 side. He lived scarce,j
q minute.
:. The above 10 from the N. O. Bee OF the sd
inst. 1t is wonderfully quiet and coid-'ioohea'
and one would infer from glancing over 1t that
the editors could dine as corpiacentiy on
blood pudings 40 on q leg of yenlaon. such,
however, is not the fact. The same notice'
almost word for word, without query or COM
ment Is seen in all the other city papers and
the reason is, that those papers fear to start
investigate n, or comment freely on this trans
action. We know little Of the case, and have
not time now to examine further; but our
honest opinion il, that s.. Wright has been
foully murdered that he had told the truth
~rplative to certain New Orleans merchant
and they have assassinated him. The death
OF this man does not refute the satemerts o.
the vicksburg Sentinel; it will cause themto
be more generally read and examined. We
intend ahortly to aid ia this examination, when
we shall seek to discover whg Mr, Oakley
chose rather 10 risk his life in a duel, tba', like
honest, uprigh citizen, ffacs his so-styled ca
lun,niqtor al the bar o. justice7

THE FuLToN-This boat has not changed
her day Of leaving Newt Orleans ss was sup
posed. She merely stops a day now and then
to repair. This is all very well !; people up
here have ceased to trouble themselves about
mail-days; SO that w get our letters or maya
zines within a week Of due time, we are all
satisfied. We recommend that the Fulton lay
up and reit completely. What's two or three
weeks interruption of the mails ! A mere no.
thing ; we can get on just as well without
them as with them; and suppose any of US
become impatient, let such uneasy people walk
down to the city and bring along their own
papers.

MURDER.-The body of a man was discover
ed on Thursday morning lasthoating down the
river in front Of this town. 1t was brought to
shore and a coroners inquest held, which give
a verdict of murder by persons unknown. The
body was naked; the back part of the head
much bruised, and a hole, as if made by a ball,
near one Of the temples. Nothing was known
of the unfortunate individual. He appeared to
have been in the water several days.

The A5test men ucre Mechdnics.-
| Judge Noah has said there never was q
! doctrine more untrue than the now, we
trust obsolete ore, derived from the false
distinctions of lnonarch'es, that mechanic
professions are mental, and benz nth the
station OF a true gentle man. The truth is
they arc the only Professions that have any
substance and real practical utility. All
else seems, on reflection, 10 be mere Spec
and
prunella.' The greatest men in the an
nails of the world he men that have
done most to e~Blighten it, end advance
the prosperity and the liberties Of the hu-
man race, have been mechanics. 1t is the
directaess Of mind--the plain good sense
their pursuits iaculcate, which led tothose
immortal discoveries that have enriched
and aineliorated the condition of the
whole human race. Name but an Ark
wright, q Fulton, a Watt, a Franklin, a
Whitney, &c. &c, and where among the
closet men, the acadenlicians, the doctrin-
aries, do you find their equal? True, New
ton Laplace, Gay L'issac, Davy &C., have
discovered great prlnciples-but nothing
that compares with the comprehensive USE
fulness that has come from the inventions
of mechanic minds. Let the sickiy races
of p~ampered nobility turn up their noses at
the mechanics as they do al merchants.
It is to the workingmen only that the rod
of empire has been given; and the revo-
~luiions on the globe from the mechanic in
v~outions of steam and the press, and which
are horny advancing with a pace that ex-
cites astoilisraent, prove inc ntestibly tlaf
the progress OF mind, Of human liber Y, OF
civilization and of mechanic labor, is in.

Remedy for burns and sca'ds.-The fol-

scaIds, was communicated to the eslilor of

almost uafallIng remedy, and ought to BE-
generally known:

wood is bnrnod-rab il fine, and mix one
par SCOT and rhrcc parts, or nearly 30 OF
hog' larI, H. h liter, or any kind OF fresa
gr ase that i, moi sailed, spread this on lin
en- or mu liz; or any other cloth for custer
or more perfect aiap9ioe. lin very extolf.
>iye bur,s or scalds, the cloth should be .orn
into strips before applied. $ as perfectly
to cover all the burned part. No other
application is required until the Patient is
well, except to apply fresh applications Of
the SCOT and lar1, &c.
In steamboat explosions. is remedy
can in nearly all cases, be at once applied.
and if done, many valuable lives will b.
saved, and a vast amount of suffering al.
