BLADENBURG DUELLING GRoUND.-Being called to
visit this town, famous in the annals of duelling
in the discharge of public duty, felt some curiosity
TO visit the bloody ground Why this spot should
have been selected tell; but it is famous
throughout all the South. 1t is situated about half
mile from the village. the site which our
troops stationed anticipation of the arrival Of
the British during the last war, and from which they
vigorously they saw the foe In a
secluded spot, near the edge of thick wood, rude
wild, uncultIvated with foot-path leading to it,
You stand on the soil drenchcd by the fe-blood of
many Here Decatur, Mason, and Cilley
fell. One of the most ferocous dues on record was
fought here between Gen. Mason and McCarty. Ma
son challenged his opponent; but McCary the
ground that his sight defective declined fighting
He posted coward Being military man,
Mason's challenge was accepted. Behold the wea-
pons together they must leap from the dome of the
Capitol; sit each upon keg of powder, and insert
with his own hand, slow match in the bunghole;
or fight with mu,kets at ten paces Mason protested
in them. The parties met and Mason literally

A REMARKABLE D1G.-A Cincinnati paper chron-
cles the death Of singular dog, who for upwards OF
twenty years had been attached to the Post Office in
that city. The Advertiser has long notice of him
from which we extract the following:
a. He attended all fremens parades, military pro-
cessons, political mass meetings, and every funeral
Of aay note in the city At the funeral pageant last
year, in memory of General Jackson, he crawled
under the hearse, and kept under it the whole route
nearly two miles-although considerably exhausted
by the effort, the day being uncommonly sultry and
close.
During the whole course Of his long life, he has
never been known to have been meddled with by other
dogs TO have taken any notice Of his Species nor to
have received any i'll usage from any individual,
or boy by whom he is extensively known and regarded
as privileged character. Hundreds having business
at the post office. who would unhesitatingy kick any
other dog out of the road, step aside carefully, how
great the throng rather than tread or insult
the noble brute He mil ht be occasionally
ming himself at the door of the Trust Company Oh
franklin Bank, or the Bank Exchange but is never
guilty of lying at the door Of private residence
My friend Rabbi Jones, who believes in the transmit
grafton of souls suggests that the spirit which ami
mates Lear, that of public officer and an
individual of the most aristocratic bearing. Apart
from the usual instincts and remarkable sagacty OF
dogs, there is much that is mysterious and unaccount-
able in the history and habits Of Lear, part only OF
which are here stated

INTERNAL DEPRAvITY.-The records of crime can
scarcely present case of more horrible and revolving
depravlty than we are about to relate.
An examination was had this morning before JUS
tice Locke, against Amos Arnold, upon The complaint
OF his own daughter, Phllena Aikens. She swore
that she is the natural daughter of Amos Arnold
that she resided in Italy, (he residence of her fatbe
in July last; that she at bis house the 18th of
that month"; and that Learing her child cry, she went
into her fathers shop Ga cooPers shop supPosng
child to be there Her father told her the child was
In the garden Upon her starting to leave the shop,
he seized her by the shoulders and told her that she
should not leave until she had submitted TO his horri-
BILE wishes. He then struck her three times with u
hoop-pole Upon her screaming for aid, he choked
her until she fell back stairs from exhaustion.
Upon getting up she screamed again, when lie took a
knife from his pocket and threatened to cut her throat
If she did not desist. Notwithstanding her utmost
efforts to escape, he finally threw her the floor,
and accomplished his hellIsh purpose.
In the mean time her sister, Lucy Arnold passed
the shop and saw part of the transaction. Mrs.
Akens told her father she would call her sister, if he
persisted. He replied that it would do no good, as
he used her whenever he wished, and that she dare
not refuse! This sister Lucy, was Ii years old last
February
Mrs. Aikens first informed her husband the 9Th
OF this month. Size dared not do it before, as her
father had twice threatened to murder both her and
her husband if she ever told. On the 4th inst, they
(Mr. and Mrs. Aikens,) moved to Dundee, and che
udtco 10 iilOIui hci husodhu Vniy u'c u"y oc'ViC.
the foregoing is the substance of Mrs. Aiken's
testimony. Otherwise have learned other partcu-
lars Lucy is now confined to her bed, is supposed
from violence committed by her father. she bad
made arrangements 10 quit his house. The poor girl
is supposed to be pregnant by her inhuman father.
Mr.. Locke has this morning issued warrant for
Lucy for the purpose Of obtaining her testimony, and
also to get her away from danger.
Arnold has been committed for further examination.
We understand the penalty for this crime is not less
than ten years imprisonment.
There are horrible surmiscs connected with The
death Of another daughter but forbeur ut present
to mention them.-Yates Co. Telegraph
