ST., and the Marquis dc Turgot, says - the par
ties fought with small swords The affair lasted
three quarters of an hour, At length Mr. Soule
fell, when the Duke, with the point of his sword
to his breast, forced his opponent to retract." A
letter dated Madrid, however. gives different
version. Ii says:
1.-The duel took place with pistols, at twenty

TnE Masonic HALL.-The bill presented for
this evening is IA very attractive one. We have
rarely had in Lynchburg musical entertainment
of more merit than that afforded by Madame Du-
rand and her assistants Itwould be unreasonable
to expect, in our comparatively small and out-of
the-way city the talent of Lind Il Sontag we can
only hope for such pleasure, when our communi-
cation with the larger cities is improved, by OK
hibitng proper appreciation of exhibitions that
really deserve patronage. Such we consider
Madame Durand's to be-and therefore we urge
full attendance Accomplishments and beauty,
such as hers, cannot fail TO give pleasure to all
who share their benign influence.

Tribute of Respect.

We have received, with the request 10 publish,
the following communication on the death of DIR.
Chas. L. Dcyere, Assistant Surgeon L. s. Army,
and formerly citizen of Roanoke county, Va.
From another communication before as we learn
that DIR. Deyerle at an enrly age left his native
county, and, rs Assistant Surgeon in the United
States Army, passed through the Mexican cam
paign under Gen. Scott from the bonbardment
of Vera Cruz to the entrance of the American
forces into the city of Mexico. In this position
of incesant dangers and tolls his services were
always prompt and cficient,and blending with a
blty and success the kindIiest beneyolence, he
became attached to all who knew him. The war
with Mexico being over he returned for time to
to his family in Virginia, from whence he was
again ordered to California. "There the term of
his official service had well nigh expred,and with
his gaze iixed upon the head lands of his native
State he battered himself that the anticipation of
home and its endearments would, in the course of
few months at least, be in full fruition lost,
mothers hours of toll and care. But he was mis-
taken. Death appeared in he form of gastritis,
and claimed him for its victim, and the soil of Cal
ifurnia now contains the remains of one of Nir-
ginia's jewels. In his death his family have
been robbed of its pride, his State of an on ma
ment and the American Army of an accomplished
and able surgeon, but his memory lives and will
be associated with we'll "fought fields and tro-
phies won"

Mexican Guano.

BY the advertisements of Messrs, c. r. Pearce
~ Son, ON our advertising page, it will be seen
that large supply of Mexican Guano is now on
sale in this city. 1t is believed that this Guano
could be very advantageously used, particularly
with tobacco, by its admixture with Peruvian, the
former being rich in phosphates, but deficient in
ammonia, which is the reverse in the latter. This
variety of guano accidentally made its appearance
in our market about two years ago, the cargo be-
ing intended for the agriculturasts of England,
(who have been before us in appreciating the val
ue fphosphoric acid AS y manure.) Only FIVE
dollars per ton offered for it, nd it ques
tionabe whether it would be admitted guano.
One of our citizens discovered its proportion of
Phosphate by analysis, and purchased 10 tons,
at $50 per long ton. Since that time it has been
extensively used, and with such decided and per-
manent benefit, that $40 per ton paid for it
during the past summer, notwithstanding the re-
monstrances of the State Chemist, (who had re-
commended it when offered at lower price,; but
the stock then in the market small, and the
further supply doubtful; in addition To which, the
