No. ILL.,
SARATOGA SPRINGS, June "a, 1872
Our little community in this beautiful little village,
has been in Estate of excitement for days. three
nouns, and forty minutes. This interesting inteec-
tua movement Of the present century, in the latitude
of the Congress fountain, has been produced by two
highly important events.
The first of these events is the duel between the
Hon. Tom Marshall, of Kentucky, and Col. Webb,
OF the regular army and the second is the war in
Rhode Island, caused by Governor Dor and that
sword" We have world here of about dozen
classic spirits, who discuss all these matters much
better and much cooler than it could be done in Wall
street or Washington. We had the report yesterday
of the duel, but nothing definite. In consequence
of this, the whole world here stood still for one day,
and il | am not mistaken the Congress fountain
ceased lis operations, and the Pavilion spring bub-
bledless than ever it was known in the memory of
the Oldest inhabtant 1t is now settled that Col
Webb has come off with greater glory than he ever
yet had achieved In the compass of one week he
has got his certificate from the Court of Bankruptcy
which clears him of all his debts of $3.50 900, and
also certificate from the Hon. Tom Marshall, in
the left leg, that he is man of courage and true
honor. He is now gentleman in every sense of
the word, and he must be treated accordingly So,
this matter is finally settled. | shall consider COL
Webb gentleman to all eternily-and shall insist
that Marshall do the same or fight me the next time
The weather here has been unusually pleasant,
and deliciously cool-no one can conceive ANYTHING
more delightful than the purity of the atmosphere
the balminess of the air-or the fragrance of the
world of flowers in all directions. How different
from the sultry months of July and August Week
pect great crowds here next week
