on Thursday last at Vicksburg Miss. be-
tween Mr.. Hamme:, editor of the Vicks-
burg Wing, (and brother of the member
of Congress from Mississippi and Mr..
Ryan, editor of the Sentinel. They fought
with pistols, and at the usual distance.
at the fourth fire Mr.. Ryan fell, MORALLY
wounded, being shot directly through the
lungs. lie died in ten minutes. Ia two
OF the previous fires Mr.. Hammel had
been wounded but the affair was allowed
to proceed probably in conformity with
the original terms of the meeting Our
readers may remember that the same
parties had before met and exchanged shots
with rifles, and that the difficulty was then
arranged upon the ground. They will
remember too, that MIR. Ryan was the
successor of DR.. liagan in the editorial
chair, who was killed within the last year.
We grleve most sincerely TO be compelled
to record these tragedies.
