The Charleston Duel.

In the Charleston News, of Friday evening last,
we find the following article in reference to the
duel which took place in that city, some weeks
since, and as TO the cause of which, and the 81
lence of the Charleston papers on the subject, so
many comments have been made by the more nor
them papers:
"TuE LATE DUEL.-The Philadelphia Bulletin
gives utterance to severe censure on the Charles
ton press for having published the late duel here
without details, and without cenSure. 1t must
strike every observer that the very default, with
which we are charged, in not publishing the par
tculaTS of fatal quarrel that originated i'll pri
vatestransaclion, is an instance of that very refine
memt for which the Bulletin gives the people OF
Charleston credit 1t is the inqusiton and pub
lcity that attach to al private matters in the nor
them press, in Qualification OF prurient curiosity
that give superiority 10 southern papers.
''The quaIrelS in detail OF individuals in their
private relations, even when accompanied by crime
and violation CT law, is no part OF legitimate
newspaper record. Such acts Of violence, II at
tended by legal tranSgreSSon, is the proper subject
OF inquiry by courts. The press invariably does
mischief, by producing false impressions, when 1t
attempts II relation of events which are the sub
jeCt of judicial investigation. But, more especial
ly, opinion marks publication as lnde!lcate-aSsan
intrusion on the SaCretneSS of private feeling
when such result of private quarrel as duel
terminates fatally, and laceTateS the lanlly alice
tons. No relation of the circumstance that could
have been published, hawever impartial, would
have satisfied the friends of both parties DenI"ls
and controversy would have resulted. Silence,
as to details, in such circumstance is not only del
cate but proper and polite, looking even TO the
ends of justice.
1.-The Bulletin has, in common with the northern
pa ers, blundered in mixing up this quarrel with
one of different character, which was p0Hhcni'
and which necessarily found its way into the pa
pers. The mistake has been corrected, and it
lakes off somewhat from the Keen edge of the Bull
letn's trenchant satire wnen It is known that n
citizen of Charleston h NOT been murdered Tor
quarrel i'll which he had no concern and the au-
thorltleS OF Charleston will be viudcated from the
incSive stroke Of the Bulletin, when il learns that
the city authorities have nothing TO do with the
transaction, duelling being an offence punishable
under our State laws; and that tie offender, SO
soon as the duel was over, was beyond the jurs-
dlctlon even of the State"

THE RECENT SOUTH CAROLINA DUEL.-We pub
lsEed telegraphic despatch some days since an
nouncing fatal duel at Charleston, the papers of
which city have been silent as to the nature of
the difficulty. The Washington Star, of Satur-
day, however, gives us the following particulars;
''Mr. Legare was engaged TO young lady in
Columbia. Her friends enquired of Duncvant
what was the character and habits of l.? This CO.
ming TO his ears, he enquired IF D. what he had
answered; and found that he had spoken favor
ably Of him. But not satisfied with verbal state
ment, he demanded it in writing which was reGu-
sed. LegaGe challenged on this refusal. The dis
lance was twelve PAGES. Legare fired at the word
'one," and missed; Dunovant fired at the word
'two," and killed his antagonist. The survivor
was wholly unskiled in the use of the pistol, v
ing never before had any thing to do with a duel.
LegaIe. on the contrary, was VIGOROUSLY, cracH
shot, having, few days before the affair came
off, in practising, placed forty-eight out of fifty
balls in card at the word. He became very ner-
vous in starting fo-the ground, and remarked that
lie felt presentiment that he would fell notwith-
standing his skill with the pistol. He was former.
ly in the Navy as Midshipman, from which he
dismissed, it is said, for running sword
through mdrine.,'

The Parkergburg Gazette.

Really we would suggest to the "Gazette man.
the propriely of exchanging names with his Dem
oc.atic cctemporary, and calling his paper the
''NewS'' henceforth, as his item about the Con-
gressional aspirations of the editor of the Intelli
geucer possesses rare degree of freshness, sufi-
Gent indeed to compensate for the "ragings of
Sirius" the "falIing of the Dog STAR" and all
those other hot creatures the Gazette discourses Of
so clasScally in his last issue. The idea of our
aspiring to Congress-! What could have put that
into your noddle? We know that fox once had
Ills ''narrative' cut of and then insisted that ii
was the fashion. Perhaps the Gazette man" acts
on that principle. Had you been successful per
haps your dazzling example might hereafter have
led us asiray.
''But who would the solar height
To set III su-h a starleSs night!'
No, gLbor, we could not do 1t. Your example,
even, cannot seduce us. We won't ''try to run"
for Congress. As to the personalities complained
of by the Gazette, we are perfectly willing that
the editor may compare his first article with cur
reply, and Judge for himself. Now, neia hbor, If
you will allow one, "not aSprant for Congress-"
TO give can aspiranr' little advice, we would
suggest that you take some hobby next time and
you will do better. We don't know what will
be up next time, but perhaps the "AIaine Liquor
Law hobby would dc, and by iudlciously IN unit
ing that ar hos, and keeping straight - on,
your abilities may yet adotn the Legislative Halls
of the Nation. We really don't know how Con-
grcSs will get along without you next term, but by
feeding hope the members may survive, and
then the next term will reward them. So take
cour &c, do not "fant or Ja," but let Excelsior
be your motto, and with the aid of that "Cham-
pooning Extraordinary" so admirably fitted for
''coo!iug the BRAIN" we can confidently Predict
for you Of you faint not by tile way, as did
