Duslling and Duets.

General Scott in his early days did not practi-
cally bear his testimony against this wicked prac-
tice, fact that, We have been assured, has Of
late years occasioned him no little regret.
General Pierce, We believe, never fought duel
nor assisted in one. 1t is said that IN the Graves
and Cilley duel, he declined to act as second for
Ciley, on account of the restraints Of his geo
graphical position, but procured second for
Mr.. Cineyl
The Hon. Henry A. Wise was second in that
fatal fight; and by his recent conduct appears TO
be willing to be principal in another.
Daniel 0'Connell saw his competitor fall and
expire; and he then fixed an annuity on the be-
reayed family, and made solemn declaration
that he would never again be the slayer Of a
fellow-being.
1t is bloody code, is the code Of honor, and
they who renounce it place themselves on high
grounds before the world. To receive an indig-
nifty without resentng it is bitter necessity; but
to repress the feeling Of revenge and the love Of
human admiration, for the sake of humanity,
morality, and religion, is honorable, indeed

NArHASIEL HAWTHORN, the celebrated novelist,
author CT those agreeable romances "7he HouS:
pih Ssuen Cables" and " The Scarlet Letter, has
written Life of General Franklin Pierce,
with which the Democracy appear to be highly
delighted. The following intensely interesting
passages in the life of General Pierce are taken
from Hawthorn's book:
/. "He (Pierce) was beautiful boy, with blue
eyes, light curling hair, and sweet expression
Of face"
q In the year 1920 he had "a fair complexion,
with light hair that had curl in it."
8. His chum was Zenas Caldwell.
A. He was chairman of the standing committee
Of the Athen@um Society Of Bowdoin College
g.. His chief friend was named Little.
6. On his return from Mexico he JGyte9'
across the street to shake hands with a1nan who
used to live with bis father. :.
To the foregoing valuable facts may 6sr added

New Hampshire, who knew Franklin Pierce from
his boyhood up, and once saw him draw cent
from his pocket, and buy stick Of candy, and
magnaDimously give it to boy who was crying

Senator Bright at Home {

We see it stated that fracas occurred in the
court room at Madison, Indiana, a few days ago,
between the Hon. jesse D. Bright, United States
Senator, and NJ G. CARRIER, esq, editor Of the
Madison Courier. Mr.. CARRIER, being on the wit
ness stand, it is said, insinuated that Mr. Bright
was no gentleman, whereupon the latter hurled
an inkstand at his head, which was returned by
blow from the editors cane. The fight then
became general, several others taking part in it;
but quiet was finally restored, and the court fined
ABOUT dozen Of them $40 each.

in his hand, he read several passages of Scripture
bearing directly on the point.
