TRAeIcAL AFFAIR AND EXCITEMENT IN
LoUIsIANA.-Some two years ago it appears
feud arose between Major Liddel, and
Mr.. Henry Huntington, in Cataboula, Louisi-
ana, growing out of one Of them having
slandered lady-and finally Huntington
left the place; but on returning lately Liddell
resumed the quarrel. The result was they
challenged each other to fight duel, but
Liddell subsequently refused to fight, on the
terms prescribed, when Mr.. Glenn, the second
of Huntington, publicly denounced him; soon
after, as Glenn, with n respectable citizen
named Virgins, was riding near the place of
Major Liddell, they were both fired upon and
killed. The body of Virgins, (who had
nothing to do with their quarreIs) was found
lying on the road, and that of Glenn in the
vehicle, with the head hanging out. Both
bodies were perforated with buck-shot Major
Liddell was soon after arrested, charged with
the murders, on the oath of a person who
alleged that Liddell admitted to him he had
killed them. So great was the excitement in
the neighborhood, that Major Liddell had to
be accompanied to the seat Of justice by thirty
friends, all armed, together with the sheriff
and aa;s posse of thirty more persons.

RABUN GAP RAIL ROAD. Mr.. A. J. Miller,
who had just returned from the line of survey
of the Rabun Gap Rail Road, which is pro-
crossing under the direction of Mr.. Barnes, of
the Greenvile and Columbia Rail Road
Company, visited our place, says the Andcr-
son Southern Rights Advocate, of Wednesday
last, "a few days ago. Mr.. Barnes who re-
turned to the Stump House some weeks
since, has been constantly engaged in trying
every possible pass over and around the

he has found an entirely practicable route,
(though heavy and expensive one of course,
for few milcs,) by which the mountain can
be passed Ut a grade of fifty to sixty feet to

the line to connexion with the Tennessee
roads, and this being found practicable, what

d The eloquent Charles Anderson made a
speech at the late Scott and Graham ratifica-
ton meeting at Hamilton, Ohio. He spoke,
is he always does, with great feeling and
power. The Hamilton Intellgencer says:
In conclusion, he dwelt upon the personal
character of Gen. Scott He had known him
LONG and well; two OF his elder brothers had
fought under him. One of them had received
his personal attention while wounded in the
citv of Mexico, had been taken to his tent,
-and afterwards to his house in the city. He
said no man had been maligned more deeply
Than General Scott that so far from being
cold, hard, and unsymp'thizing, as he had
been represented, awarrmer and more generous
bsart never throbbed in the bCsom of man,
than that of the Hero Of Lundy's Lane, -
When WI he spoke of the Generals kindness to
his brother, he said, much moved, "Wben !
forget him, may God, in his justice, forget
me."

WISE MEN,-Which is the greater, the
sage, who rises above and keeps aloof from
the storms of the world, and only gazes on
without mixing in them; or he who leaves
the heights of his peaceful rest, to plunge
boldly into the tumult and the war! IT'S Il
noble sight when the eagle ceaves the thun-
der-coud, as he scars upward into the clear
armament; but nohler is it when, lowering in
the clear sky, above the darkness Of the
storm, he dashes through it to his nest in the
rock, where his unhedged little ones lie
trembling.

TooMBs AND STEPHENs.-The course of
these gentlemen on the Presidential question
has given much pain and embarrassment to
their former political associates, and the cry
is every where, let them go; we are sorry to
part with them, but principles before men, is
our motto, and we cannot repudiate the FORM
er, for the sake of the latter
We believe we can safely say that Mr.
Tombs has deserted the wing ranks entirely.
His late speech in Congress was fercely de-
nunciative of the system of party conven-
tons, although no one owes more to these
Conventions than does the honorable gentle
man himself His prospective seat in the U.
S. Senate was the result of the system which
he now affects to consider dangerous to the
liberties of the people, Mr.. Toombs is also
bitter against Gen. Scott, chiefly because of
the support given to the latter by the Seward
clique, forgetting entirely that Seward, Gree
" & Co. were equally the warm advocates of
Harrison, Clay, and Taylor to the Presden-
CIV, whom Mr.. Toombs and Mr.. Stephens sup
ported heartily With this fact staring in the
face, many wings are at a loss to account for
the conduct of these gentlemen, unless on
the basis of the idea advanced by Mr.. ToOmbs,
last winter that they had made up their minds
to go over to the Democracy. They then
owe it to their old friends to define their po-
stions on this head; and we predict that
whenever they do so, or it is otherwise so as
certained, these whilom wing Simpsons will
Re shorn of their strength and influence with
the wing party of Georgia. - Georgia Citizen.

THE Poor! THE Poor! The Washing
ipgton Unions Wanting, clustering, frothy
denial of Pierce's anti-fugitive slave-law
speech at New Boston, gains credit with the
press nowhere that we have seen, outside of
the ranks of its regular party echoes. The
Washington correspondent of the Charles
ton Mercury, ultra Southern democrat, under
date of 18th inst, says
The Republic has thrown bomb-shell in
to the Democratic camp in the shape of re-
port of a speech, said to have been delivered
in New Hampshire, by Gen. Pierce, on the
I'd of january last. 1t is thorough 60
ing Abolition speech in sentiment. The
Union, on the authority Of the New Hamp-
shire Delegation, pronounces it to be false
report, and calls the papers that originally
produced it "nfauous." They are the Con-
cord and New Hampshire Democrats, Free
soil Democratic papers. The Republic sticks
to the charge, and the Southern Wing pa
pers are beginning to repubish it. Unless
directly contradicted, it viii knock General
Pierce into Scott'scocked hat; FOR THE UNIONS
