l5~ Rled and Clements, two of the prisoners who

considerable progress towards opening the iront door
OF the jail. Time, however, failed them, in this in

The late duel between Mr. J. M. smythe, one of
the editors OF the Augusta Constiui onaIist and DR.
Thomas, OF Augusta, which was fought at Vienna
S. c., on Saturday last, had its origin in newspaper
article published in the Augusta Chronicle Mr. Smvthe
regarded the article personally offensive; and upon
DR. Thomas owing himself the author he challenged
that gentleman 10 mortal combat. At the third fire Mr.
Smythe was shot, the ball passed through the right and
nearly through the left thigh. The wound, however
is not considered mortal, and he re ached Augusta by

Thomas escaped untouched.

THE CANAL


The Secretary of the James River and kanawha
Company, publishes in the Richmond papers, an adj
vertlsement announcing the tact that the Canal will
be opened for transportation between Lynchburg and
the mouth of North River, on and after the Ist OF
October next. Alter SO long and vexatlous delay,
we have doubt the authoritative announcement OF
this fact will be highly gratifying to the whole people
of this section of the State. That great epoch so
long and anxlousy looked to in the history of Viz
gna, is about to be partially realized. The East and
the West, divided and separated in all time past, by
the barrier OF the Blue Ridge, is we trust, about to
be firmly united, by liquid chain, for all time to
come.
The works of the Improvement between Lynchbure
and the mouth of Nodh River being now completed,
we learn that the force heretofore engaged that
portion of the line will all be Immediately employed
on the work between the North River and Buchanan
We do not know exactly at what time this portion of
the work is expected TO be completed but Judging
from all that we can learn, we certainly expect see
the Packet Boats at Buchanan by the first of Deem
Der, if not earlier. So as the work reaches
Buchanan we so for having but one other stopping
point the line, and that is the Ohio river. It has
been this piece meal business that has already delay
ed the Improvement for nearly quarter of century;
therefore think it is now high time such system
was broken up.-Flncase Wing.
