The DUEL AT HoBoKEs.-THE CAsus BELLI A
WOMAN. The account Of the Hoboken duel, which
appeared in The Evening Post Of the 18th, has ex-
lci,ed great deal Of interest throughout the country
lat large as well as at Hoboken, where the thing was
transacted with such secresy that but two persons
outside of the parties concerned could have known
anything about it, Although the pistol reports were
heard all over the town. persons have even ex-
bressed an incredibly as to the truth of the nara
Rive, which we now proceed to disspate by full re-
kstion of all the particulars, including the original
kause of H. difficulty. These we have obtained from
1 private but entirely reliable source.

To iiis Young LADY he had extended an invitation
to Join him in q welk on SUNDAY evening which she
declined. Tbl- he acquesced in. aud went with tso
inends to The Barclay e. Hotel probably with view
to drown bs reflections in some Pleasant beverage.
Judge Of his surprise when. about eight O'Clock Of
that evening, bis friend Norton entered the bar-room
with the announcement that he was on his way to
Hoboken with the afOre mentioned lady, aud that he
had for moment LEFT her in the feny-hOuse, to sit
the bsr. JohrsoD, however, concealed HIS chagrin
for the time and with his two cOu panons returned
with Norton TO the young lady the boat.
Here BIS indignation found vent ia language, which,
however, If not our purpose to report Words pass

The incredulity which has been expressed in certain

that no duel had taken place. Evening Post, 2ist.

% Some Of the letter writer's from Wash
ington say that the Nebraska bill is gaining
strength every day others say, that it is now
certain it cannot pass the House. We sup
pose the truth is, it is now very doubtful -
The correspondent of the Philadelphia Led
ger says
"Thc bill, in some new shape, either by
itself, or as an amendment to some other ter
ritorial bill, will come up next week, during
which the Committee on Territories will hold
the floor. Immense efforts are made to car
ry the bill, and it is plainly given out to all
who have the least influence that, to oppose
the bill is declaring war upon the President,
and the administration will retaliste upon the
offender. What effect this species of tacticks
will have upon the House, am unable to
foresec but if the South will not hang fire,
the bill will pass, with the Clayton amend
ment and the Badger amendment in, and in
no other shape that ! can possibly conceive"

ES.y~The New York Commercial in an able
article on Matters aud Things in Washington,
asserts that there has been for some time
considerable uneasiness among public men at
Washington, respecting the present and por.
spective condition of national affairs The
uneasiness is felt by men of both political
parties, while those of the same faith with the
Administration, evince but little of that re .
spect and devotion to their party's represen.
tative in the Presidential chair, which Dem
ocratic Executive has been wont to receive
1t asks what is the matter at WASHINGTON
that public affairs do not 90 on more smoothly9
What has the President done or left undone.
that he has lost Influence with both branches
of the national legislature, and is no longer
looked up to with that confidence, the almost
universal expression Ct which, was elected by
his inaugural address? For that snch d
change has been wrought is notorious at the
capital.
The Commercial then goes on to answer
its own questions, and contends that the
President has lost ground in consequence Of
his taking to his counsels imprudent adv
sers, not of bis cabinet; by the unwise course
OF the Union newspaper, as the organ of the
Administration; by political scheming, and
maneuvering, &C.. &c.--Ale1. GAG.

il is proper or wise to commit the nomination
Of candidates for the county offices, which

EE5y@A German Reform party has been
started in the West, having the principal
seat of operations at Louisville, Ky, which
seems to have taken upon itself the task of
instructing ,he native population upon their
duties as citizens, and to alter and amend all
our Institutions governmental, moral and
religious We have received handbill of
this association, setting forth its extensive
platform, wide enough to cover the United
States and the rest Of mankind. A few Of its
principles viii be sufficient to show the char
acter Of she association. 1t declares slavery
shall be excluded from all territory, and ex-
tingushed il the several States; that public
lands shall pc given for nothing to poor set
tiers, and the colonist be aided further with
governmental funds. There shall be no
Sabbath laws thanksgiving days or Bibles
in free schools or oaths administered in courts
of justice; that the Pope shall not be allow
ed to exercise, through any agents, any In
auence in the United States, aud that Jesuits
shall be treated as declared enemies ofthe
republic All elections shall issue directly
from the people; any eligible citizen of any
State may be elected member Of Congress
by the citizens of any other State; any rep
rcsentative may at any time.be recalled by a
majority of bis constituents and replaced by
another Neutrality, as regards foreign pol
icy, must cease to be an article of our natiou-
al erect. Women must have the rights de-
mande! in Women's Conventions; negroes
the sane right as white men tho gallows be
abolished. Temperance laws are delared to
be tyannical encroachmcnts on individual
lberty The extreme modesty of the de-
maud; of these reformers, cannot but excite
the public admiration. The attempt to en-.
force them would produce the most deter
mined opposition from our citizens that any
party ever met with in this country.
