Affair of Honor in Charleston.


 The Charleston Standard, of Tuesday. 3Oth inst, says:
 IAN AFFAIR OF HoNoR-An affair of hon. or occurred last evening in the vicinity of this city, between Wm. R. Taber, jr, esq.,, on. of the editors of the Mercury, and Edward Ma grath, esq.,, in which the former was morally wounded, and died an hour after. The diff culty originated from the publication of articles in the Mercury, in reference to the Hon. A. G. Magrath. Satisfaction was demanded by the brother, and meeting took place as we have mentioned. Difficulties continued in the way of an adjustment and MT. Taber fell at the third ire the ball taking effect in his head The weapons were pistols, and the distance ten paces"
 The Charleston Mercury comes to us in Taber. That paper says:
 DEATH OF VIM. R. TABER JR.-It is our duty to announce the death of Wm. R. Taber, | jr., one of the editors of this paper, who fell yesterday afternoon, at the third fire, in duel with Edward Magrath. esq.,, in consequence of the peremptory challenge of the latter for the publication of alleged offensive matter in this paper, the author of which was not called for The communication complained of, had refe- renee to the candidacy for Congress of Hon. A. G. Magrath.
 Itis not now that we are called upon to pur. sue the merits of the question involved. In the presence of death-the death of one who has been intimately associated with Us for years, and who breathed as true a heart as ever beat on the soil of CaroIina-we bow our heads in sorrow and in suffering, and pass by all conside- rations of party conflict, in the sense that we have lost friend, true and tried, and brother in the hard duties that make up our connection with the public life. It will not be easy to find braver and more selfsacrifcing spirit-it will hot be often that the community will be called upon to mourn over the extinction of 8 more brilliant and generous intellect.

Mans and WOman's Hate.

FROM PROFESSOR AYToUN's BoTHwELL." Men hate, because in act or strife
 They cross each others path; Short is the space for jealousy,
 And fierce the hour of wrath; But woman's hate runs deeper far, Though shallower at the spring, Right seldom i> it they forget
 The shaft that galled their wing A fairer face, a higher place,
 More worship, more applause, Will make a woman oathe her friend Without a deadlier cause.

WORMS! WORMs!! WORMS,!,

.A 4 great many learned treaties have been written, explaining the origin of and classifying the worms generated in the human system Scarcely any topic of medical science has elicted more acute observation and profound research and yet phy si- clans are very much divided in opinion on the sub iect. It must be admitted however, that, after all mode of Expelling them and purifying the body from their presence is of more value than the wsest dsou- sitons to their origin.
 Such an expelling agent has at last been found. Dr. MLane's Vermfuge proves to be the much sought after specifc-its efficacy being universally acknow- edged hy the entire medical faculty. As further proof. read the following from a lady--one of our own citizens:
 NEW YORK, October 18th, 1852
 This is to certify that was troubled with worms for moro than year. 1 was advised to Use 1T Lanes Celebrated Iemifuge prepared by Fleming Bros of Pittsburgh. 1 took one bottle, which brought away about fifty worms commenced improving at once, and am now perfectly well.
