THE Fatal, DUEL.

The Wilmington journal records in touching and
impressive terms the untmely death Of Dr.. Wiki
ings, of that place, who fell in duel with Mr.. j. H.
Flanner. We copy as follows from the Wilmington
papers,
FATAL DUEL.-Our community painfully startled
Saturday after last by the reception of tee-
graphic despatch from Marion, S. c. to the effect that
hostile meeting had taken place, Fair Bluff, between
Dr. VIM. c. Vikings and Jos. II. Flanner, Esq, both
young and citizens Of this place; and that the
third fire. the former received the ball of his antagonist
through the lungs, and in very few minutes expired
The difficulty grew out OF speech made by Mr. Wikins
Wednesday evening last, at the Democratic meeting at
the Court House. They fought with PISTOLS at ten
Mr.. Vikings being the challenger.
We do not feel called upon to say upon this most
unfortunate occurrence except that the parties very
much esteemed here by their friends and acquaintance
which, we trust, may never occur again. HeruM.
Neither do feel called upon to say about this
matter to-day: But we may say much when we become
possessed of the facts of the case. C1ana1erciaL.
We have little to add to the abOve-nothDg to-day.
When the public feeling becomes claimed down and facts
be reviewed dispassionaely and mparally, those
facts will doubt be given to the world by those in pos
session of them and upon whom their promug will
devove duty not only themselves but to the living
and to the dead Let await the of events with
out giving to undue excitement running the risk OF
committing injustice by ungarded expressions There is
providence that watches the fall of sparrow
and if one of these fall WITHOUT Father may
not rest assured that made His image is pre-
ceus than many sparrows and in this rest calm
ly and do Justy-justy to ourselves and to others.

Tile VOICE OF NORTH CAROLINA In another col

THE VOICE OF NORTH CARoL1NA.-In another col.
umn will be found short sketch Of the proceedings
of the Democratic State Convention of North Car
DINA. 1t will be seen that the Democracy of North
Carolina. with great unanimty have declared their
preference for Franklin Pierce, as the Democratic
candidate for President. The wishes Of the Democ-
racy of North Carolina feel confident, accord
with those of full three fourths of the Democracy of
all the Southern States, and believe with large
majority of the people of the United States. Let
politicians and Office seekers say what they please,
the great mass of the people are anxious to have
President Pierce for second term. Nearly all of
our great and good Presidents have served two
terms, and why should President Pierce be made an
exception2 Policy, patriotism and gratitude, in our
opinion all demand his denomination, and the claims
of no individual or State ought to weigh feather
in opposition to the wishes of the people, and the
great interests of the country.
We warn the delegates to the Cincinnati Conven-
ton that the people have their eyes upon them !;
their conduct will be watched, and the votes of
every one of them will be carefully examined. If
they faithfully carry out the wishes of those that
sent them, they will receive the reward of good and
faithful SERVANTS but if the people believe that their
wishes have been set at naught, and their dearest
rights bartered away for the purpose Of forwarding
the private objects of any individual, they will hold
their delegates to strict account for their conduct
We have great confidence in the Democracy, and
we believe that the representatives of such glor
GUS party will be guided by wise and patriotic coun
sells, that they will select candidate worthy of the
party and that he will be triumphantly elected.

Mr.. GIMER's APPoINTMENTs-We are not dis
posed to dispute with any one about a matter OF
this sort; but the following from the last Green's
boro' Patriot, requires some notice at our hands:
"The appointments in the West were made, as we are
advised by the urgent solicitation of personal and
political friends Of Mr.. Gilmer. At the very earliest
ment Gov Bragg was notified of them by Mr. G. himself
who respectfully requested Gov. Bragg accompany him.
and pointed out to him convenient way by which they
could go together All this was in good time Gov Bragg
had Mr. Gs letter before last ISSUE and the very time
the Standard publishing its insinuatiag cojecares
plain and truthful statement Of the facts shows how dis
conjecture, that the Standard not ignorant of the
true facts it pretends and that it reends for effect.
We have no doubt but that Mr. Gmer's course
trey satisfactory to Gov Bragg explained in his letter.
which if seen by The public, will prove John A. Gimer TO
be what he has been liberal just and generous man.
Observe, the Patriot says that Gov. Bragg was
tilted of these appointments at the Gerry earliest
moment" by Mr. Gilmer himself Now, repeat
that Mr. Gilmer made the appointments without
consulting Gov. Bragg; and Gov. Bragg was " mott
fed thereof, not until he had uritten to Mr. Gill;
"er on the subject, requesting an ansaoer. The ap-
pontmcnts appeared first in the Asheville Specta-
tor of the 9th April, before Gov. Bragg wrote to
Mr. Gilmer; and yet the Patriot says the Governor
notified of them at the cery earliest moment '
Again The Register of this City, stated on the 23d
of April, that Mr.. Gmer would commence the cam
paign in the West; yet no appointments were given,
and the Patriot, printed in Mr. Gilmcrs own town,
suppressed them up to the I'd Of May. These are
facts which the Patriot can neither meet nor ex-
plain.
We remember that delegates, on their return from
the Greensborough Convention, stated that Mr. Gill
mer was expected to be in this City soon, to con-
suit with Gov. Bragg as to the appointments. Were
they deceived? Were the appointments made by
the Western delegates and Mr. Gilmer at the Green's
borough Convention, and the Eastern delegates kept
in the dark on the subject? 1t would seem so; for
We cannot suppose the delegates referred to capable
Of circulating knowingly false report
The Patriots article, instead of relieving Mr.. Gil
mer, has been the cause of showing more clearly
his want of courtesy, liberality, and justice in this
matter. We had no wish to make this showing,
but the Patriots insinuations against US left no
other alternative.

NICARAGUA.

On Thursday last Mr.. Weller, of California, sub
mitted resolution to the Senate, calling on the
President for any correspondence, not heretofore
communicated with our Minister in Nicaragua, in
reference to the recognition of the Nicaraguan
government. Mr. Weller said
Gle was in the receipt of letters inquring
whether he sustained the policy OF the administration i'll
regard the and he now took oc
casion remark that he entirely disagreed with that policy
If the executive thought it expeden to reject Colonel
French personal grounds he thought the
been officially recognized The usual practice of the gov
eminent had been recognize the usual South American
whoever were power thes THOSE which
with courtesy and friendship he did not desire to see
Central America annexed this Republic but he wanted
stable there and this only to be accom-
plished by diffusion of Anglo Saxon blood. Therefore,
he thought that emigration that country ought to be en-
cou,arcd rather than dscountenanced He said that
had been shameully msrepresented as Gen. Walk
err who not freebooter but man of pure purposes
He read letter from Cen Walker, in which the fact is
shown that the British Government have interered in the
present struggle between Costa Rca and Nicaragua and
have furnished the former with state of
existing between those governments Costa RIGA had
invaded Nicaragua but had declared against
her, they had only declared against those Americans
who had aided the present party in power In subverg the
MI Weller alluded to the recent riot at Panama in
which thirty Americans had been killed The best feeling
existed between this government and that of New Gren
da and he had doubt the whole power of that
ment would be exercised bring the offenders to justice
Mr.. Douglas also spoke upon the subject. He
said
"He believed that the Clayton-Bulwar treaty being
violated every day by Great Britain and thought
thing ought to be done about it. He regarded the present
government Of Nicaragua legitimate government,
much other existing in Central America
1t was the fir1nes and stable government they had
had since throwing off the Spanish yoke and far he
knew, justice more mpartialy administered, and the
rights of of property sacrcdy guarded
and protected under the existing government than under
any previous Nor it any objection to his mind

MuRDER.-We regret to learn that Angus Nc
Darmid, Captain of the Steamer John H. Haughton,
was thrown overheard on Saturday afternoon last
by Sam, one of the negroes belonging to the G. F.
& D. River Navigation Company. The negro had
absconded from the boat on its upward trip, and on
returning to it as the boat was coming down, Capt
McDiarmid was in the act Of tying him, when he re-
body, and pitched him in the river The water was
very deep, and the boat under rapid Roadway, and
all efforts to save him were unavailing. The body
has not been recovered.
Sam was arrested on Sunday, and is now in Jail.
