For my own part, at six hours notice left
my home my friends and my private interests
to answer this call and have been chained to
the work-like galley-slave to his oar-ever
have performed that duty is not for me to de-
termine but have done my best. Owing TO
protrac'ed absence, i'll health, and incessant oc-
cupation Of mind aud body in this hard fight, |
have paid a heavy penalty for the honor of
championship of the Southern cause. But any
sacrifices under such circumstances would have
been cheap; for il was not only in pursuance Of
the promptmgs Of not ignoble ambition, but
of duty also, that it was undertaken. The call
to fill such a position, at such time, and with
such colleague, was an honor and trust for
which any Southern man might well be willing
to make heavy sacrifices for time. There

stood by them and the great cause.
For the egotsm Of portions of this article,
ask indulgence, it is not my custom to sin in
this way, nor shall it be repeated; but as it is,
the provocation was too strong to be resist

be, that | shall soon cease to commune longer
with the thousands of unknown friends with

only hope that they will cherish the principles
which have been earnestly if imperfectly incul,
Gated by me through these columns.

THE RULE OF THE POLITICAL BARoEs.-The
Charleston Standard introduces political arti.
Gle with the following just and pertinent re-
marks
"THE PEoPLE NOTHING TIE LEADERS
EvERYTHING.-The people of our country re
joice in believing that they are the rulers, but,
If Truth were to speak, her voice would be, that
the servant of the people il. often lord of his
master. Whenever it is assumed by the few,
aspiring to be leaders, that this or that must be
done, and that it is unnecessary or improper to
consult the people about it, then the spirit Of
repubicanism il tramped in the dust, and that
of monarchy or oligarchy prevails True re-
publcanism requires that tile people shall be
consulted in every important measure Of the
government and especially in the choice of their
rulers, and every doctrine opposed TO this is but
despotism in disguise Editors anddeaders OF
cliques may for time disguise their principles,
to the deception of the people; but strip them
of their drapery, and they stand exposed, the
same old forms Of tyranny that have ground the
nations for centuries"
Ii is time that the people Of this country
should assert their sovereign right TO control its
political destiny. IL is time that the voters
should throw off the tramnes Of party by which
they have been made the submissive instru
ments Of the self.constituted leaders who assume
to rule and control the popular will for the pro-
motion OF their own selfish and ambitious end..
The days Of political as well as social ieudalism
are passed. We are nation Of free and en-
ghtened republicans, and that man among us Is
unworthy Of his heritage who exchanges the
high responsibility, dignity, and irdepende &c

ALMOST A DUEL.-The Sun newspaper, which
from lie notorious community Of sentiment with
the hllibusers, 10 likely to be intimate with
their personal movements, says that General
Lenery, who was recently the Spanish com.
mandant OF the Puerto Principe district Of Cuba,
arrived here few days since, his way to
Europe. and that while here he received a chal
leDge from Senior Aguero, near relative of that
Joaquin de Aguero Aguero who captured
at the head OF small band of insurgents, and SEN
fenced by General Lemery to be shot-the re-
doubable Senior seeking in this way to avenge his
kinsman's blood The story goes that General
Lemery accepted the challenge, and appointed 10
o'clock yesterday morning for meeting of
onds to adjust the prelnnaries; but at the ap.
pointed hour and place friend Of the General
appeared, and it was discovered that he had taken
the morning line for Boston, whence it s supposed
he will sail for Liverpool in the Canada to-day
Taking this statement for truth, think that the
general. in every respect except the acceptance of
the challenge, has acted like a prudent, sensible
man. Duelling 10 atrocious and inexcusable. even
in cases OF private grievances but for the officer of
any government to make target of his person to

the matter stands, would prevent conviction Is

As the friends of other candidates for this Office
are already active in their behalf, desire to pre-
sent the name of the present incumbent, WALTER
LENox esq, for reelection. II is to be expected
that personal preference will, TO some extent, gov
ern the choice OF many; but before the community
generally, honest and discerning in its decision IL
not he proper question, 'What is the public inter
est?" 1t must be admitted by every rejecting ci-
zen that sudden and uncalled for change is not
only UNJUST to the officer, but to the public inter
est. II takes away the personal motive and ambi
ton which induce the faithful performance Of duty
and loses to the public the benefits of official expert
ence. II the present incumbent has discharged
the duties Of the Office with ability and zeal, and
can hereafter bring it the advantage Of practical
experience, trust that the people of Washington
will not use the elective franchise to their own in
