siPpi. Tho scene Of action was somewhere be-
tween Marion, Miss, and Mt Sterling, Ala.
At tho first round Gen. SAUNDERS was wound
ed in the nrm The third rouni he was again
wounded-slighty, in the breast; and at the
|jffM round Judge EVANS fell, dangerously
wounded. "a.
Tho origin of the difficulty was as follows {:
About twelve months ago. the Literary Society
of the Western Military Academy in Alabama
elected Gen. SAUNDERS to deliver the annual
address. He left in short time after his ap-
pointment and came to Charleston, s. G. On
his return to Alabams, about the first of April.
he found that Judge EVANS had been appointed in
his stead to deliver the address the Society
thinking that Gen. 8. would not return in time
to do 80. After his return, the commencement
day arrived both these gentlemen attended,
and both made speeches. EVANS spoke first-
He alluded in his remarks to the Generals
leaving so soon after his appointment and said
that "he fled from the undertaking." In his
reply, SAUNDERS explained the cause of his visit
to Charleston, and pronounced the assertion of
EVANS false, beaides using other abusive Ian
guage. A challenge ensued, and the affair ter
minated as aforesaid

To say the very least, such occurrences are
unfortunate. We're there none to suffer by
such tragical results of foolish quarrels but the
eombatants themselves, they would be far less,
lamentsble. Or if he who first transcendel
the bounds of courtesy and propriety, were
sure 70 be the falling one then It would be
matter Of much less regret for q man who vii
fully enoroaches upon the rights and feelings Of
smother should be repulsed in some way. s But

SHELBY, n. G. March "a 1854.
Editor Of the STANDARD: My Dear Sir-It is
rather late to make suggestion to the Democracy
of North Carolina as to whom the nomination for
Governor of the State should be given at the ap
preaching convention, but Sir, hope 1 may be par
doned by yourself as well your readers for the in
trusion of this suggestion at this late day. While
am ever ready to support the nominee of the Con-
vention-as have the strongest confidence in the
wisdom which will pervade that body-I respectfully
suggest to the Democracy to nominate DIR. CoLuM-
Bus MILLS, of Rutherford Coanty, to be our stand
ard bearer in the approaching canvass. The DIR. is
a firm, unyielding Democrat, able in argument, and
wise in counsel, and l think can do more to unite
the party in Western Carolina than any man in the
State. Two years ago he was candidate against
the strongest ally of Whiggery in the mountains for
the Senate, and also where there Wing ma
jority in the two Countes-Rutherford and Cleave-
land-of nearly seven hundred voters strange to say
such the zeal of DR.. Mills that he only bea
ten about twenty votes Should this not bring him
into yet more favorable notice of the Democracy :?
But Sir, have trespassed too long upon your col
umns already, and will close.
Yours, very truly,
HICKORY.
