opponents.
AS for the :" calp' of the Bee, il is quite APP
parent that il was neither intended for us to hear
or TO answer, inasmuch as the Editor replied 10
his own interrogatory. If we had any answer
to give, his own would have precluded its neces-
sity. We therefore subjon the Bees answer
TO the question, "Does Mr.. Tyler intend offer
ing for re-electon2" TO wit
Despite however, of the guarded language Of his
adherents, their unmeasured and untempered yitupe-
ration Of Mr. CLAY tchom IL Is yell knoion the mass
Of the Whig party regard as the candidate for the
succession, denotes shrewd foregone conclusion"
and scarcely leaves doubt of the intentions of Mr.
TYLER, provided he rally around him the materi-
ais necessary for the contest"
If there was no doubt Of the intentions" Of
Mr.. Tyler, and il was well known that Mr.. Clay
was to be the candidate, the interrogatory Of the
Bee was as impairment, as its confessions are
valuable.

In Freedoms breast once more awakes;
A voice. that rises low, but deep,
The silence Of her sumber breaks
From inland wild, from sea-beat shore,
From forestshade, and harvest-piain,
Sweeps onward like the ocean wave
Before the rushing hurricane.
They come, but not in proud array
OF arms, with banner spread and drum,
The foe that would from Freedom wrest
Her birlhright caim-and yet they come.
They have robbed Justice of her sword
And thrown il in the scale with gold
The rights Of fIee-bayn men, the rights
More dear than life, are bought and sold.
But by the memory of our siTes
And by the God in whom we trust,
Wen rive the chain for bold the heart
And strong the hand whose cause is just.

From Dr.. Millligan's History of Dueling,

D,els Betueen French Wo,cen.-'sThat women who can mostly get silly people to fight for them, should not fight themselves is natural, but there are instances on record in which ladies have shown their determination to ayenge their own wrongs. Madame de Villeeheu mentions duel fought with swords by Henriette Sylyies of Moere, with another woman, both in male attire. In the letters of Madame Duno yer a case mentioned of lady of Beaucair and young lady of rank who fought with swords in their garden, and would have killed each other had they not been separated, this meeting being preceded by regular challenge. De la Colombiere mentions duel that took place on the Boulevard St. Antoine be- tween two ladies of doubtful virtue, in which they in
 cted on each others face and bosom several wounds two points at which female jealousy would naturally aim. St. Fox relates the case of Madamoiselle Du- rieux who the open street fought her lover of the name of Antnotti, But the most celebrated female duelst was the actress Mappin, of the performers of the opera. Serane, the famous fencing master, was one of her lovers, and from him she received many valuable lessons. Being insuted one day by an actor of the name of Dumeny she called him out; but as he refused to give her satisaction she carried away his watch and his snu-box trophies of her victory Another performer having presumed to offend her. h,s meeting was obliged to knee down before her and implore her forgiveness One evening at ball hav- ing behaved in very rude manner to lady, she was re,,uested to leave the room, which she did on the condition that those gentlemen who had warmly es- housed the unofended lady's should accompany her. To this proposathey agreed; when after hard combat she killed them all, and quietly returned the room. Lotus XIV, granted her a pardon and she withdrew to Brussels, where she became the mistress of inc Elector of Bavaria. However, she after wards returned to the Partisan opera, and died l707 at the age of 37. iu
 "Under the regency pistol meeting took place between the Marquise de Nesle and the Countess Poliqnac for the possession of the Due de Richeeu and in more modern times, late indeed as 1887, Madame Bat St. Rambert, received a challenge to fight with pistols and at about the same period lady of Chateauroux, whose husband had received a slap in the face without resentng the insult, called out the offender, and fighting him with swords severely wounded him taH :,
 ssIn iS2s duel took place between young girl and a gards du corps. She had been betrayed by the gallant soldier, and insisted upon satisfaction; selecting her own weapons by the right ofan offended party. Two shsts were exchanged, but without any result, as the seconds very wisely had not loaded

The National lntelgeneer is engaged in discussing Mir. Ewing's plan of a "fscal agent.' That journal thinks that those states which are opposed to it from principles will accept branches from considerations of interest It argues somewhat in this style suppose New York should refuse branch and Newark should accept one.

The Taladega Watchtower makes the following correction of its statement in relation to the President and Ex1President of the Branch Bank at Mobile. .i. t
 CoRREcTIoN.-Int the absence of the Editor last week, an article published, headed "Robbery,' '' in which certain rmors given affecting the char acter of the President and Ex-Presdent of the Branch Bank at Mobile. The editor regrets their publication, because he publishes any af fecting the reputation of any man-and because he is satisfied the ru,am so far the President (B. Boy kin) is concerned is without foundation. This pub lcation would not have been made if the Editor had been at home. u
 The article was inserted by the Foreman of this ofiice-because he knew the source from which he derived the information to be highly respectable, and he supposed there doubt of the correctness of the rumor.
 Those papers who may have copied or noticed the article alluded to, will please do the justice to copy the above.
