n DUEL BETWEEN TWO CINC1NNAT1ANs-
ONE OF THE PARTY SHoT.-We were yester-
day Informed by one of the agents of the
stage company, OF the particulars of duel
which took place on Monday last. in field
on MIR. Brensons farm, few miles from
Alexandria, Kentucky, and within a half a
mile OF the turnpike, between two gentle
men of this city. Sometime since Mr.
Henry Short, Jr., a clerk on Fifth street
became attached to beautiful young ladv
residing on Eighth street, and to whom he
soon engaged himself for marriage Mr.. S..
ABOUT month ago, went to PHILADELPHIA
on on visit to his parents, who reside on
Chestnut street IN that city. During his ab-
scence ne received a letter from fellow
clerk that his betrothed lady love was keep
ing the company of young climb of the
law" named Alexander Peacock. now res
ldent OF Chicago, but native of this citv.
Inc letter gave Mr.. S. reason to believe that
Peacock and his lady love were engaged

ing last, and found that all had not been
told hIm,-that P. had slandered him. and
oefamed MS character to the young lady. and
thus won her affections. Determined to have
an exclamation, he wrote to Peacock and
tne lady, and demanded the same. Tbey
Doth treated him coldly, and requested MI.

hons-the young lady at the same time re-
turning her engagement ring. This SO en-

above stated. No persons were present ex-

seconds. At the first fire no injury was
sustained by either of the duellists' An
effort was then made to reconcile the diff
Guilty, but neither party would listen to any
compromise, ana the parties were ordered to
their post for the second fire. The word
was given, and Mr. S. fell bleeding to the
ground, the ball having taken effect in his
lett shoulder. He was then picked up
and taken to Mr.. Brensons, the farmers
house, and his wound was dressed. He is
considered in critical condition. Il is
now understood that when the young ladv
learned what had happened she refused to
nave anything to do with either of the par
ties, and has resolved to break off all engage
ments with each of the gentlemen. Il is
therefore evident that in this case the old
adage of " faint heart never won a fair
lady, has been reversed.-[Cin Gaz.

+. X. AUBREY.-The account which we
published yesterday of Mr.. Aubreys death
contained no intimation of the circumstan.
ces which led to his fatal rencontre with
MAJOR Weightman. We have information
however, which throws additional light up-
on this unfortunate affair, and may lead to a
correct surmlse as to its origin. A gentle
man IN this city, an intimate acquaintance
OF Aubreys, received a letter from him, but
little more than week ago, dated from
the Sierra Nevada, in which he complained
that Major Weightman had attacked and
severely abused him through newspaper in
Santa Fe, on account of his partiality for a
central route for the Pacific Railroad
Welghtman is understood to be in favor of
an extreme Southern route, and can i'll toler-
ate views in opposition to his own. Aubrey
was active in exploring and establishing a
route Leading to st. Louis, for he had been
reared here, and felt patriotic interest in
the prosperity of the city which he called
ms nome. His untiring energy, great activ-
lty, reputation for integrity, and successful
explorations, rendered him formidable op-
ponenlt, and hence the fierce assault upon
him through the press. Mr.. Aubrey, though
OF peaceable disposition, was a man who

while 1t led him to shape journeys for his
personal benefit, always had something OF
public interest connected with it. Thus. on
one of his expeditions between Independ.

road usually travelled, in search of bette,
