From the Okd Dominion,
The Late Duel.


 IL will be reccollecled that for long time MT. Pieasants had pursued, towards the elder Rltchie, any thing but concila- tory bearl and becoming soured by dis appointments he seemed to increase in as. cerbity of feelings tow ards the whoc family of Rltchics, and his hatred was transferred lrom the fatherto the sons on their taking charge of the Enquirer, and frequent and insulting have been the insinualions thrown out against them, which of course, would be retorted by them. When Mr. PIcasants left the Whig editorial chair, in no pleasant mood, and announced his determination to establish the Richmond Globr, writer for the Enquirer. who assumes the name of !" Macon," stated that it was to be an abo. lition affair. and coadjuor of Cassius M. Clay. This opened afresh th, old wounds, and discourteous reflections and recrimi- nations have followed each other until pas. sion was excited beyond control, and on Tuesday MT. Pleasanls was in waiting for MT. Ritchie 10 ''cut him down in the streets as soon as they metz as was the expression conveyed 10 MT. Ritchie, who, we under. stood, replied that "lor the deccncv of the thing, he would like it to stake place some where else." Mr. Peasants caused Mir. Rltchie 10 be informed that he would be in Manchester on Wednesday morning, armed for the purpose of making deadly attack upon him there fine met him.
 Mir. Ritchie, in company with two friends, Messrs. w. Greenhow, and R. !Scotl, Jr., repaired to the designated spot, and arrived first. Mir. Peasants with his friends, Mes SITS. Deane and Archer shortly after arrived. MT. Pleasants, was armed with two long rife pistols and sword cane, MT. Rtchie with two Patent-revolvins six barrelled pistols and Roman sword. Mr. Pleasants imme. dia,ely advanced on Mir. Ritchie, who slood his ground, with his pistol levelled-when within range, Mir, R. commoneed dischurg ing.-Mr. P. although wounded had not yet fired, but continued 10 advance when quite near he discharged his pistol at MT. R. with out effect; he then leveed the other pistol, and in the act of firing, a ball from Ritchie's pistol passed through his, P's, hand which shook him so that the second discharge was aso harmless he then threw the pistol al his adversary, and attacked him with his sword. Mir. Ritchie continued efectually to parry the efforts of Mir. Peasants until the latter fell exhausted, after he had re- ceved d slight wound in the groin. Here the aifray ended, and young Ritchie departed nnharmed, immediately for Washington, and Pleasants was conveyed home. Four bullet wounds were found upon his person and slight sword wound. Mr. Pleasanls We learned from the carrier of the Star yesterday morning on the departure of lhe Richmond boat, died at , o'clock. Such we believe, are the simple facts, which we give without comment or extenuation.

 E by a desire 10 benefit his fellow beings, offers to the Public the result of an extensive practice and thorough investigation of the laws which govern the human system.
 He is well aware of the odium which is at- tached by Physicians to all remedies, the com position of which they are not acquainted with, yet he is not satisfied to withhold this valuable medicine knowing that it will stand the test of experience, and that those who use it, will not have occasion to complain that it has not bene- fitted them. He is fully satisfied; that these Bitters require only to become known; to be universally appreciated and extensively used. For il cannot be denied by those who have be- come acquainted with their singular virtues. that they possess pre-eminence over all others now in use, for the diseases which they profess 10 cure.
 in proof of their extraordinary curative pro- perties, upwards of ONE THOUSAND CERTIF, IcATEs, from the most respectable Citizens in different sections ofthe Union, might be appen- ded i; but the high reputation which my Vegeta- bla Pills, (known as SPENoER's VEGETABLE PILLs) have acquired, is all sufficient to recon. mend my BITTERs to the special notice of the afflicted.
 They arc purely Vegetable and may be ta- kcn'wlth perfect safely by all ages and sexes Tn youthful, adult and declining life.
 They Cure DYSPEPSIA and LIVER CoM- PLANTS by cleansing the stomach and bowels of every thing injurious to health, regulating the various secretlons and by their manifest and sensible action upon the chyle, they purify the hlood invigorate the circulation, strengthen the digestive organs, and produce healthy ac, ton, throughout the system ;-Loss of Appe- tite, Heartburn, Headache, Fatulency, Palpi;a. ton of the Heart, Resllessness, Ill Temper Languor and Melancholy, which are the usual symptoms of Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint, will all disappear as a natural consequence of its cure.
 They not only Cure DYSPEPSIA and LIVER CoMPLAINT, bu, they have almost miraculous effect in curing SICK HEADACHE, and all Ner- yous Affections. They are peculiarly adapted to remove all these complaints not by constant ly physicing, bat by strengthening the system. No greater mistake can be made than to sup pose that Dyspepsia, or any other disease ari- sing from debility, can be cured by frequent for ced action on the bowels with purgative medi- cines, without having proper tonic to7accom- pany them.
