Letter from Cnssius NJ. Clay.

HoRA3E GREELEY, E+q.-The deep
and heartfelt remonstrances Of friends,
elected by my apparent willingness to re
sort to the Duel, displayed in the first
number Of The True American notwith.
standing the very peculiar and trying
circumstances in which have been
placed, have led me 20 give this much
debated subject my most serious and de.
lbcrate reflection. Whilst | shall ever
contend for The right of self defence
where the civil power cannot or wM mol
come to my rescue: so where the laws
arc sufficient for protection and the pub
lie sentiment enforces them, there am
willing to confess that the Duel cannot
be justified. Having fully tested the le'
gal and moral power of my native State,
to which | owe inviolate allegiance,
feel that owe It to her-to our Nation
al Religion-and to the Spirit OF the Age,
that | should subject myseifto their sole
protection. therefore formally pledge
myself never again to offer or accept a
challenge, or 10 any manner to give Du
cling my countenaDce or support. Be-
leving that this annunciation would not
only be agreeable to you but TO many
friends who have been SO kind as to man
ifest an interest in my humble fortunes,

SAD CALAMITY. We take the follow
ing distressing accoun: from the Wash
ington U. S. Journal Of Saturday.
On the eve. of the 4th,a great body oil
people gathered in the rear of tine Pres
,dents House to witness the display OF
Fire Works. A number OF rockets and
wheels go, derangcd on the. frame, and
on taxing fire, went off horizontally a
mong the spectators.
The folio .ing particulars are given.
A black woman in the service OF the
Post Master General we learn, was
struck BY rocket and killed. Mr. SUIT
ton Magee had his wrist dreadfully woun-
ded and his children were scorched -
Mr. James Knowles Of Georgetown who
had been married but short time, was
sitting with his wife on the wall, far as
they supposed from danger-the dis
lance between them and the pyrotech
nics, being about fourth Of mile
but one of the rockets, after saimming
along the heads Of the crowd below,
struck him on the left breast directly over
the heart His wife, it is related, dis
covered the calamity as she saw him
falling from her side, and in moment
drew out the stick. He died instantly
without struggle. The most piteous
and narrowing lamentations filled the
AIR from one thus in the twinkling Of an
eye reduced to widowhood; and she was
led through the gravelled walks, with
her white garments stained with the
blood yet warm-Her cries, 'he is dead
oh my husband, he is dead : caused
general outburst of sorrow from the
thousands, who with her were leaving
the tragic scene. ], was indeed sad
spectacle.

Gents:-l became acquainted with The
virtues Of Downs Elixir many years ago,
and have used it in my family ever since,
having always found i, sale and effira-
cious remedy f,r all of the diseases for
which it is recommended. When my
children had the whooping cough, we ad
niniSlered i, 10 them with the happes, cf-
tects. It miligaled the force Of that dis
l!essing complaint, and rendered it light
and of short continuance.
Oae night woke up with ling in
my throat and commenced coughing vic
en'ly. struggled in vain to suppress
the cough, which was incessan, and IN,
renting. D'spalring of relief or repose !,
got up and took tea spoonful Of Downs
Elixir. which instantly alIayed he ,r,ila
ton-,he cough did no, return md | slep,
soundly until morning. ln cases of colds

which am subject, have always found

tages derived from The Elixir in The numer.

have brought i, into use.
