A ROUGH DUEL.-Qn Tuesday evening last.
says the Lexington Observer, two young bloods
of that city, who had been at variance for
some time, on account of reasons best known
to themselves, concluded to waive all the up-
necessary formalities of the regular duello.
and to go out and pistol each other in accord
ance with eItemporaneous regulations adopted
by themselves expressly for the occasion.
Upon their arrival at the verge of the CITY,
some spectators, who had accompanied them
out, endeayored to persuade them to lay aside
their pistols and fight fist fight; but one of
them said that he had eaten no dinner, and
did not feel sufficiently robust for anything of
that sort, and, as matter Of course, this
English argument broke up all further nego.
tiations. They then selected suitable spot
took their positions a few PAGES apart, drew
their revOlvers, and commeaeed firing. One
of the parties fired FIVE times, and the other
twice, the difference being caused by tbs
swapping of one pistol three times. After the
firing il was ascertained that neither wa.
hurt, whereupon they returned to the city q,
socially as they had left it. 1t is said ihs,
both parties behaved With great coolpess and
that several OF the shots were grasers. =

EDITING PAPER.-It is q somewhat curioss
fact that vast number of men, who are ut
terly incapable Of managing their own business
or any other, still think that they perfectly
understand that of en- editors, and regard
themselves as under a special mission TO give
the latter the benefit of their views on all ac-
casi0ns. 1t is singular, but there are very
many who really seem to sincerely believe
that writing comes by nature-that the editor
Is without this endowment, and that they
ought, In christian charity, to help him cut
Could some cf these self-elected censors be put
into harness for while end realize what il
means to be ment al engine under perpetual
press OF intellectual steam, they would pos
sibly charge their views ofthe case which thew
would knock of little article. People who
think that editing a paper is a pleasanter di-
version than digging cellars by moonlight, or
Juggling bricks up a four-store building in a
hot July's sun, may profit by the following
sensible remarks from the editor Of the Bed
ford (Et.) Gazette:
" 1t is not so easy a task to write for O news
paper as people suppose. A man may be a
good scholar, profound thinker, n vigilant
observer of passing events without being able
to write for newspaper. The power of writ
ing leading article for newspaper is tact
which few possess, and which we have known
many, with all their learning and diligence
unable to acquire. Itrequires a large amount
of information on various subjects, and read
iness of application that must never be in
fault, or the writer will fail For, remember,
the editor is always writing against time, and
the inexorable printer must have his copy at
that, there is no time to revise and amend :;
but As slip after slip is written, the "devil''
snatches it away, and one half is usually set
up in print before the other half is written
This exacts decision Of thought and faculty
of writing which, like poetry, seems rather n
gift Of nature than an acquired faculty.
