THE FIoHTINa CASDrDArEs.-The Memphis
Eagle, of the 21st instant, gives an account OF
personal difficulty that occurred between the
candidates for Governor in Mississippi, Gene
rails Foote and Quitman, on the 18th instant,
during their discussion at Sledgeville, in Pamela
county. It appears, from the Eagles account,
that both gentlemen had agreed to refrain from
all personalities in their discussions At Sledge-
vile, however, when Gen. Foote spoke of the
Cuban affair, Gen. Quitman stopped him, and
said that it was ungentlemany and dishonest
thus to violate their agreement Thereupon
Gen. Foote called him ga har." Blows were
instantly interchanged; but their mutual friends
interposed and separated the combatants. Ac-
cording to the Eagle, Gen. Quitman has signi-
fed his intention not to speak with Gen. Foote
at any more Of their joint appointments.
We have known other gentlemen to grow
weary of speaking with Gen. Foote.

Then she must heretofore have had many
