Il Twill ask what is the real situation Of the

for cotton he has neither a foreign nor a home

is no market either at home or abroad, thatthere
is too much labor employed in agriculture T.

HEALTH Or ToyYAND COUNTRY.
We are truly happy in bsing able to announce,
that the severe fevers with which our Parish has
Of late been scourged, have almost entirely dis.
appeared, and that we are once more in a healthy
condition. The Great Dispenserof Events saw
.ftto snatch some Of our most promising youth
and more matured and respected citizens from
our midst, but his wrath seems to have been
stayed, and he now looks benignly down, and
permits US, after a season Of mourning, to go our
way il peace. We trust, by care on the part of
our citizens, (and their own good sense must
teach them that exposure to our midday sun is
calculated to bring on sickness, TO have no,more
cases TO report, at least this Fall. A few more
weeks, and we can bear exposure without fear
or danger. The town is now perfectly healthy,
and we learnthat the surrounding country is fast
regaining its former healthfulness.

THE CILLEY DUEL.

We have already opprzed our readers that this
murderous duel is raked up by the iackalls of Lo-
cofocoism for party effect They tried that game
at the time, when the facts were fresh in the pub
lie mind-and tried it in vain. Perhaps they hope
that the truth has been forgotten, and that false
hood may now stalk abroad undetected, but they
will doubtless find themselves mistaken. We call
to mind few points:
Frst-Cilley and Graves were not enemies, and
when the latter first called upon the former for ex-
planation he did explain satisfactorily; and to set
tie the whole matter forever Graves requested Gil
ley to reduce his explanation to writing. There
was then no earthly question between them but this
simple one, whether Cilley should put upon paper
the explanation which he had uttered.
Second--Ciey took tme-the fatal step. His
political friends were consulted; they urged him
to refuse, and thus inevitably bring on fight; he
practised hour after hour at rifle shooting; he was
hatered for his success; and at last allured to the
fatal step by assurances that he would kill his man.
and crown himself with glory by Kidding his party
of such an opponent as Graves.
Third-Thus beloagured and lee on by his Lo-
cofoco associates, he gave his answer--an answer
which he knew would lead to the field and TO the
field he went confident of making Graves his VIC
tim; he chose his weapon and the distance-nnd
found his grave. Certain it is that his friends en-
pected different result. The fact came out at the
time, and is now confirmed in another quarter as
follows:
The Cilicy Duel The '.nludered Cilieu"--A
reference having been made to this unfortunate
transaction, in the Maine Legislature, now sitting,
MIR. Perkins of Augusta rose in his place, and said
"What am going TO say, shall say under the
responsibility of Representative Of the State. |

gusta Post Office one day in the winter of 1888
when the news OF this duel arrived. The son OF
the llor. Ruel Williams came into the office, and
took from his box letter from his father. He OPP
ened the letter, and read from it these words:
SO lie (Ciley) is confident Of success, and If he is
successful, 1t tCW giue him such a standing IN Con-
"The letter was placed in my hand, and read
the words. A postscript said
GO The corpse Of Mr.. CiLiey has just been brought

enge contradiction. That letter has been called

The blood of Ciley is in the skirts of the Loco
focos who forced him to fight! Aye, the hands OF
men who frank Kendall's tract are red with it!

THE OREGON QUESTION.

The question which has occupied much time in
the Senate was not our title to Oregon-not the
question of boundary. On these points there is We
ry little, if any, difference of opinion. Our title is
strengthened both by treaty ard in part by first dis
covery. By treaty with Great Britain it was a
greed years ago that citizens of both might occu-
py it without prejudice to the title of either-and
this treaty can be dissolved on six months notice.
Both have occupied the territory to this tme-our
emgrants are pouring into it and SO rapidly taking
possession that they will soon cover it-Grea Brit
ain has sent over minister to negotiate the ques-
ton Of title, and the negotiation is probably now
going on; and at this uncture, for party purposes,
the locos propose to give the requisite notice TO put
an end to the treaty. The Senate consider it wrong
to do this in the face Of pending negotiation and
calculated to put off the settlement and perhaps
compel a settlement by war instead of the peaceful
and cheaper mode, diplomacy. For these reasons,
the Senate rejected the resolution, % to l9. That
they have done wisely is evident from high locofo-
co authority. We mean John c. Calhoun, an ex-
tract of whose speech this subject in this day

ted as we'll as the defeat of an attempt to pass of
forged sentiments in the name of Mr.. Clay.
Singing. We are glad to see from the papers
that the locos retain enough of good temper to at
tempt bit of singing on their own hook. This il
better than snarling at Wing songs
