DUELING.-The death of George c. Drom-
goole, Of Virginio, occasioned deep regret among
a large circle of friends.
We knew him in other days, lie was no or
binary man. His mind was unusually clear and
strong, and, had no adverse circumstances oc-
CURED, he would have been an ornament to So
clety, and an honor to the nation.
But it was in private life he charmed. 50
simple, so kind, so true. Weneyer knew more
generous man; he was wholly disinterested, and
knew how to sacrifice self with a grace which
won HIM the love of friends and the respect of
acquaintances,
In an evil hour he was tempted, acting upon
false notions ofhonor, to PERIL his life and the life
OF another. His antagonist fell. From that
hour he was an altered man he knew no peace;
and, to drown the bitter thought that he was a
murderer, he sulled his soul still deeper in crime
by drinking to excess. And in early life he
was taken from us,in debased and selfblighted
man.

But the survivor! Business relations brought

to see him at his home, and our house. In
company, we saw no change in him he was
Ight-hearted, almost frolicsome in his gaycty.-
lie never spoke ofthe murder; but by an unutte =
ed and well understood compact, (and how terribly
did this describe the deed none ever referred
to it. But soon we learned that he never slept
without flight in his room. Soon after we found
that he was fast becoming a drunkard; and
scarce three years had passed since the duel
ere he was stricken dow i'll early manhood, and
laid near his antagonist in the earth.
