All this performance might have been
pernicious Ia its effects, but for The fact that
il was generally looked upon, and manifest
Is felt to be complete iailure-a ridiculous
abor;op. Great exertions were made-the
mouneain Iabored abundantly -but the mouse
was scarcely brought forth. What went
farther than anything else done, TO produce
injurious effects was, the attempt to obtain
for the proceedings the countenance and in
luence of the Christian religion. In this
they succeeded so far as 10 get the aid Of
one of its protested ministers, and know
not but the countenance Of some others. An
attempt was made at coalition with the tenn
perance movement. But this did not sue
coed. The ministers OF temperance were
unyielding. II took the ministers of mod
ern religion 10 make such compromise
Bot the time has gone by when everything
placing itself under The name religion can
be passed of for Christianity - when the
devotees Of the former are necessarily and
as a matter Of course recognized as the
faithful servants Of the latter. True, the
chaplain Of this cannon drum, and bombast
affair had the hands Of the ordaining coun-
Gil laid on him. with much solemnity, fol-
lowed with weighiy charged but five days
before. This fact, however, under all the
light that is now shining, instead of identi-
tying these military proceedings with gen.
uine Christianity, on account Of his aiding
them on, will only tend to open the eyes of
the people more. and more to the spurious
ness ofsthe religion which he exhibits in
practice, and the utter unlikeness of it to
wha; was taught and practieed BY the Prince
of Peace. If ) am not mistaken in my es-
Inmates, the time has come when the more
we have Of such exhibitions, the more means
we have of opening the eyes of the people,
provided we are faithful and interchangeable
in making proper use Of them. No thanks,
however, 10 those who furnish Us such
means. They are in duty bound to furnish
better nay, to turn about at once and rem
der conjunctive and direct cid in the better
and higher work Of saving men - not de-
stroyiDg them.

Between T.. F. Marshall and J. w.
Webb, one a member of Congress from
Kentucky, and The other the editor of the
N. Y. Courier and Enquirer, which had
been for some days anticipated, according
TO the surmise in the papers, has ia very
deed taken place. 1t was fought just over
the Delaware line, on Saturday morning
last at sunrise, and terminated after the
exchange of second shot, with a wound
in the left leg of Col. Webb. How much
honor these cool murderers in heart have
lost, and how much they have gained,
the savage class of duelists to which they
belong may deem it their province to
decide. The moral portion ofcommunity,
however, who Judge ofthe conduct of men
by different code than that OF honor, will,
nevertheless, have their opinion; and as
they weigh mems conduct and character
here by statute which stamps with eter-
nal infamy hereafter the impenitcnt MUIR
derer, they will have but one opinion of
such a transaction, and that, of It's being
one ofthe greatest crimes Of which human
beings can be guilty. And the opinion of
the latter infinitely outweighs that OF the en-
tire ranks Of bloody duelists.
But there is honor ia it, surely, says the
duelist. And what is the honor only
that Of a deliberate murderer. What has
been Webb's honor since the fatal duel
