THE FIRST AND LAST Fatal Duel IN ILLIzoIs.
In the year 1920, duel was fought in Belle
Vile, st. Carcounty, between Alphonzo Stewart
and William Bennett. The seconds had made it
up TO be sham duel; Stewart one ofthe parties,
was supposed to be in tho secret, but Bennett,
his adversary, believed it to be reality. It is
supposed that Bennett somewhat suspected n
trick and after receiving his gun from his second,
rolled ball into it. At the word fire, Stewart
fell MORALLY wounded. Bennett was indicted,
was made to procure him pardon; but Gov
Bond would yield to no entreaties; and Bennett
suffered the extreme penalty of the law, by
hanging, in the presence Of greatmu!titude Of
people.
This was the first and last duel which has ever
been fought in the State by any Of its citizens :
The hanging of Bennett made ducling discrcdit-
able and unpopular, and laid the foundation of
that adherence of the practice, which has been
fcls and expressed BY the people OF Illinois.

valued as they should that high moral courage
which has led men, in the face of the frowns of
opponents to do their duty. They forget that
there is an influence which comes not in the
" earthquakes voice of victory" where cred
battle stamps his foot" but in the still small
voice of wisdom and eloquence and reason and
moderation, and that God is in that voice.
But grant that Webster and Clay and Corwin,
and other illustrious men, have not been, and
are not, popular with the masses. Does this
affect the intrinsic excellence of their character?
What is fame2 What is popularity But breath

one applauding whisper of quiet conscience, is

WILLIAM PENS.-The statue Of the venerable
patriarch of the Commonwealth was raised yes
terday in the niche which it is intended TO oc-
cupy in the new iron building, at the corner Of
Dock and Third streets. IL is very properly
cast of iron, one of the principal mineral re-
sources of the State which Penn was 50 instru-
mental in founding. 1t is hollow and weighs
624 lbs. Penn was a good-sized, substantial
built and ll-proportioned Englishman. The
statue in the yard Of the Pennsylvania Hospital
is more commanding figure, and looks more
like the representation Of the founder Of State.
The establishment of buildings of public
character with suitable figures is highly appro-
pirate in the way Of ornament, and great ad-
dition to their beauty. The facility with which
such adornments can be cast Of iron viii bring
them more into use, and add much to the archi-
tectural attractiveness Of Philadelphia.

BISHOP WHITTINGHAMs LETTER

To the Editors Of The american Telegraph
GENTLEMEN: The apology offered by Balti-
more in this evenings Telegraph, SO far as re-
CARDS the policy of insurance denounced by
Bishop Whittingham, is plenary and ad punctun,;
and if Baltimore" had stopped there should
not have said q word however indefensible the
disapprobation eyinced concerning the Art
Unions might be. But Baltimore" in this
particular, not unlike his estmable client, and
many other good men in analogous cases, has
taken more ground | imagine than he will be
able to defend. The objection taken to the
opinions of the Bishop, as expressed in his let
ter, was, that liberal minds felt regret at the
publication of an opinion involving question
of morals, in connexion with public institutions,
in which a large body of citizens was interested,
emanating from the highest authority in the
diocess, and which opinion it was evident could
not be sustained. To this it is answered, that
if our esteemed diocesan had been present al
the first meeting ever held by the Christian
church for choosing bishop, he would not have
participated in the election. / differ radically
with q Baltimore" on this point; and his error
is the cause, | think, of much of the prevailing
fanaticism on questions of morals. Men are
wise above what is written; and | feel conf
dent that the bishops of our church should
| leave extremes in morals as well as in religion
to the sectares and new-lights. Why SHOULD
the Bishop not have participated in the election
of Matthias to the Episcopate, if he had beer
present? The dice, or the lot-for they are
convertible terms-were resorted to on motion
of Saint Peter, 1.-THE number of disciples being
a hundred and twenty and were a medium OF
selection of long standing; and the game use
this word without levity-was very familiar to
the Jewish people. The judges at Athens were
chosen for many years by throwing dice; and
men learned in the derivation Of words inform
US that the basis Of the words dice and clergy.
men are the same, which | apprehend arose
from the fact that the clergy in early times
were skilled in back-gammon, or their cures
were appointed TO them by rattle. BY parity
Of reasoning " Baltimore" would infer that, if
present, our worthy Bishop would have held
back the hand Of our blessed Saviour, when he
presented his friends with cup Of rosy anC
delicious madeira at the marriage in Cana o
Gallilee; or would have forbidden the musi
and cotillons at the return of the Prodigal !
still more venerable example of rafting occur
in the Jewish ritual, where the victim, the anti
type of the great sacrifice made on Mount Cal
vary, was selected by the high priest, acting
by special command, and as proxy for the Su
preme Being himself. But / forbear.
