Hot Work.

The canvass in Mississippi between the Union
and Disunion candidates is growing warm; so
much so that pistols are being substituted for
rhetoric. On the 18th inst, Gen. John Free
man, the Union candidate for Congress in the
Third District, and Judge G. w. L. Smith, of
Vicksburg, fought duel opposite that city, on
the Louisiana shore. The Vicksburg Whig
alluding to it, says
"They exchanged five shots each, with pis-
tolls, at ten PAGES, the fifth and last of which
was effectual, Freeman having wounded Smith
in the back, the ball coursing across the shoul-
der blades 1t did not enter deeply into the
flesh, and is not considered dangerous The
cause which we learn led to the hostile meeting
was this-a correspondent of the Mississippian
in speaking of the speeches of Foote, Freeman
and Smith, at Lauderdale Springs, on the 22d
ult, says that in Smiths speech she denounced
Foote as traitor, and Freeman as coward
and ibeller.' This was resented, and termina-
ted with the above result. Judge Smith was
taken to jackson on the rail road in the evening
train

Southern Congress.

The Charleston Courier of the 10Th inst,
contains the proclamation of Gov. Means, of
South Carolina-who signs himself "Governor
and Commander-in-chief," to the managers of
elections throughout the State, to hold an cleo
ton on the second Monday in October next, and
the day following, for two Deputies from each
Congressional Diftrict of the State, who are to
represent the State in Southern Congress-
This is done according to an act of the last
Legislature. The Southern Congress, however,
from present prospects, will be very meagre
affair. The disposition to join South Carolina
IN such convocation, is neither general or
cordial, as far as may be judged by public indi
cations.

A BLooNERITE IN A SHowER.-The Boston
Gazette speaks of witnessing the effect of seve-
raj sharp showers upon the new costume. The
Turkish trousers lost their graceful contour,
aud fapped round the pedestals Of the wearers
like wet banner round a flag staff, while the
tunic was deprived of its stiffness. The fair
Bloomer was in most awkard position, and
reminded the Gazette of seriously indisposed
hen, who had been caught some way from her
roost in a thunder storm.

Soldiers and Democrats

Recollect that the Whig party have nomina-
ted for the office of Canal Commissioner, Hon.
John Strohm, of Lancaster county. You will
enquire who he is. We can tell you. When
our country was engaged in war with Mexico,
and many brave and fearless volunteer from
Cambria was in the heart of the Mexican terri
tory, willing and ready to yield up his life in
defence of his country and his country's flag,
John Strohm was member of Congress, and
when bill was pending to vote supplies to that
noble band of Americans, he with a number of
other Wings voted against it. Keep it before
the people that the Whig candidate for Canal
Commissioner voted against SUPPLIES to the
army while in Mexico. A man that would do
that cannot be supported by any person, who
in his heart, admires the returned soldiery for
their gallant conduct in that campaign. The
people will bear in mind his unkind conduct
towards our brave men. When his name is for
gotten,
Each soldiers name
Shall shine untarnished on the rolls of fame,
And stand the example of each distant age.

HSAOu Monday of last week, in cumpany
with two gentlemen, one from Philadelphia,
the other from Plane No. 4, this county, we
started in low back'd car on Trouting expe-
dition. Our route for four miles was through
a section of country well cultivated, and dotted
with numerous fine cottage houses and farms,
then for league, ''through unfrequented
woods, % "no trace Of human habitation nigh,
and as We journeyed along thought that
''This great solitude is quick with life;
And briars that scarce have learned the fear of
men
Are here"
The evening late brought US to the familiar
spot where we have so often caught numbers of
the fnny tribe, and ere night had closed upon
US the party had caught Sc trout We return
ed to the nearest farm house and after a hearty
supner laid our weary bodies down to rest. two
of US on some wool sacks the other on mat
trass laid on the floor. We slept soundly until
four o'clock in the morning, when we arose,
and after providing some bait, and placing in
our haversacks store of provisions for the day,
we started on our mission. We reached the
creek at sunrise, when, after an early bath our
No. 4, friend left US, and as his form receded
from our view, he cast some long and lingering
look behind'' bade us farewell, wished us luck
and was hidden from our sight. By one O clock
in the afternoon we had caught pit fine, beau
hful trout, averaging about six inches each, we
both enjoyed the rare sport, concluded to dine,
and in the language of Milton
''Under tuft of shade that on the green
Stood whispering soft, by the clear running
brook,
They sat them down; and made ease
More easy, wholesome thirst and appetite
More grateful, and to their dinner fruits they
fell"
We arrived home safely at six o'clock in the
evening, fatgued, but abundantly satisfied,
having caught 273 trout and killed several squir-
rels and pigeons.

Col. 8. w. Hack

Has forever endeared himself to the Democ-
racy of Pennsylvania, by his magnanimous
course in reference to the Gubernatorial nomi-
nation. In connexion with Col Bigler he was
candidate for Governor, and number of del
egates from the western part of the State would
have supported him in convention, but when
the Reading Convention assembled he like a
true Democrat and a noble hearted soldier,
knowing that the gallant Bigler was an older
soldier in the ranks of the Democratic party
and more unanimously the choice of the people
for the Office, than himself, as also, for the har-
mony and future success of the party, he sent
IN an eloquent and truly national letter with
drawing his name, and one of the delegates
(Col Keenan) from Westmoreland, who was in
structed for Black, moved the unanimous nomi-
nation of Col. Bigler, which was done in the
most enthusiastic manner. We admire the man
and hls course, and in his speech at Philadel-
phia he says: ''That his sword is by his side
ready for action, that he is dedicated to the
campaign and the peoples choice, and meant to
fight until he heard the cheers of victory"
