any paper except for small sums and for a very
short time. A number Of failures are reported to

A scene of much interest occurred few
days since, al the New Jersey Methodist Con-

that she lrembled with excitement; while the
scene throughout was of character SO affect
ing as 10 bring tears TO many an eye.

The Duel between Wise and stanley

The prospect of duel being fought by the
6elligerent Congressman, Wise and Stanley is
exciting the public mind. As every one ap-
pears desirous TO know every thing pertaining
10 the "affair of honor" we give the following
from letter, dated Washington, Thursday the
18th inst. The main facts stated, we find cor
roboraied by letter writer's for the Baltimore
papers.
The most intense feeling prevails at the
Capitol, in~regard 10 the movements of Messrs.
Wise and Stanley The Marshal was in pur-
suit Of them. He had warrant of arrest from
Judge Thruson. | suppose he did not take
much pains TO find them.
The families of Mr.. Stanley and Mr.. Wise
were both in this city.
The affair has been managed with great eau
ton and privacy. Mr. Preston and Mr.. Man.
gum interpoSed TO accommodate matters; but
the. quarrel was past mending.
All we know as TO the arrangements now GO
ing on, is the following: Last night Mr.. STAN
ley and Mr. Washington. of North G. slept at
BIadensburg, and have not since been seen.
have since learned that Mr.. Stanley went
out Of The District TO prepare and send his chal-
lenge and receive the answer: and that he is
also engaged in practising From this sup
pose that the duel will lake place tomorrow
morning.
heard North Carolina member, friend
of Mr.. Stanley, remark publicly, that the duel
was arranged, but not to take place till after
The close OF the session. This was no doubt
given out 10 elude suspicion.
This morning at eleven, Mr.. Wise was in his
seat in the House. Half an hour after, Mr..
Wise went out. Presently, Cost Johnson fol-
lowed out of one door, and William M. Gwinn,
of Mississippi, out of another, and soon met in
private consultation.
Mr. Stanley is the challenger, as is supposed
from some circumstances, viz: the declaration
of Mr.. Wise, that he would never have any
thing more 10 do with the affair, except 10 ac-
cept challenge.
Mr. Wjse's favorite weapon and distance is
pistol and ten PAGES. Stanley is good shot.
The parties are on equal terms.
The writer thus concludes:-"For one re-.
oce that this quarreIewhich for three sessions
kept Congress in hot water, is likely TO be SET
lied. 1t is not 10 be endured that the private
disputes of two men shall keep Congress con-
iinually, from year TO year, III state of dis
graceful uproar."
