The Rome (Georgia) Courier has an ac-
count of duel lately fought near Dallas,
Paulding county, in that State. The par
ties were Wiley Jones and VIM. Bane, rel
atives. They fought with rifles and fired
three times. At the first shot part of
Jones' left ear was cut off. The parties
not being satisfied, they reloaded and fired,
part ofJones' right ear lock being cut off
by the ball of his antagonist. They were
still not satisfed-loaded again and fired;
Bane's ball passed through Jones' hat, just
above his head. Jones then made at his
antagonist with his rife, and attempted to
knock him down with it, but Bane got the
advantage, knocked him down and teat his
brains out, and fed unhurt. Jones died
Immediately, and up to latest accounts
Bane had not been arrested.

THE DIFFICULTIES WITH ENG
T,ANn

The Washington Union contains long
review of our differences with England, and
after referring to the insulting tone of the
British press, adds:
'But we cannot forbear to add one remark
which is, that Great Britain is thus threaten
ing the United States with war, not because
we have infringed her laws or insulted her
sovereignty in any, the least thing whatever,
bnt only because, after she has infringed
our laws and insulted our sovereignty, we
courteously request her to relieve US from
the presence of her minister, Mr. Champion,
for reasons the most cogent and unanswer-
able There is no other cause or pretext of
rupture between the two countries. We
shall see whether, with all her professions
of civilization and philanthropy, Great
Britain will suffer Lord PalmerstOn toplunge
her into a sanguinary and fatricidal warMith
the United States for the personal benefit
of Mr.. Champion. If, in the wilfulness of
conscious injustice, England choose to de-
clare war. let war come, and then, as twice
already, be the God of Battles judge betwixt
US and the Fatherland.

FREEso1L GOVERNOR OF KANSAS.

Mr.. Charles Robinson, who is called
'Governor elect of Kansas" was highly
extolled by Senator Wilson, of Massachu-
setts, in his late speech in the U. S. Senate
and compared with Miles Standish. Senator
Jones, of Tennessee, in reply to Mr.. Wilson,
said:
81 desire to ask who is this Mr. Charles
Robinson, who is called Governor elect of
Kansas? Does the honorable Senator pre-
tend to know who he is! Mr.. Wilson
nodded assent The honorable Senator
bows his head. Then l hope he will fur
nish the Senate a biographical sketch of
him. l have few paragraphs in regard
to that gentleman; and, by way of aiding
the Senator with the preparation of his
memoir, l will state what know of him.
| shall not resort to newspapers, but can
refer to the records of the country to estab-
lish what | say. Mr.. Charles Robinson
the Miles Standish of Kansas-was once a
citizen of the State of California: and what
was he there! He was the head and front,
the leader of a band of desperadoes, as in
famous as ever disgraced any age or
country. He it was that organized band
in the city of Sacramento for the purpose
of warning against the rights of property
there. He it was who led that band in that
ever memorable, ever to be execrated, con-
fict, in which the peaceful mayor of the
city of Sacramento, and the sheriff of that
county, in attempting to execute the law,
were shot down. He was arrested and put
into prison, and while there was elected to
the Legislature by these ruffians, these
squatters, these men essaying to usurp the
rights of property. He went to the Legis-
lature as the champion of that spurious or
squatter sovereignty in California. When
the Senatorial election came on, am in
formed by gentleman well advised on the
subject, instead of standing up to the party
which elected him, he voted for the largest
property holder in California. On the 25th
of February-if | am not mistaken in the
date-your Miles Standish left the Legis-
lature, and never appeared there again.

blessing-some cup that is not mixed with
