FATAL ARRAY AT CAMDEN, ARK
We mentioned the other day the
death Of Mr.. Darlington, editor Of the
Eldorado Union, in a street recontre,
at Camden, Ark. The following par
ticulars Of the ARRAY We find in the
Ouachita Register:
On Monday last, the town Of Cam.
den. Ark, was the theatre Of one of
those dcplorable scenes which sicken
and fiji the heart with pain, sorrow and
CONSERVATION, and cast melancholy
gloom over the countenances Of all
The particulars, as far as we have been
enabled to learn them, are a. follows ::
I. b. Darlington, Esq, editor Of the
Eldorado Union, called upon Mr..
Jones, editor Of the Oaach;ta Herald,
and demanded Of him satisfaction for
alleged calumuiss rejecting upon his
character through the medium Of the
latter's paper. Jones refused to lis
ten to Darlington, whereupon the lat.
ter left him, uttering some abusive
words as he retired to the street. A
friend Of Mr.. Jones overheard the
language Of Darlington. and replied
that he would eight him since Jones
had refused to do 30. This it seems,
was more than the impulsive nature Of
young Darlington could bear, and be
Immediately drew revolver and fred
three consecutive shots at the iudivid-
ual without effect. The Ere was re-.
turned by his antagonist, killing him
instantly.
The excitement occasioued bv this
sad recontre was intense. Both par
ties weresvery popular with the people
Of Camden, and our informant states
that at the time he left the town. a
few minutes after the occurrence. &C.
tive preparations were making by
the friends of both parties for eener.
al row.
Mr.. Darlington was a brother.in.law
Of Hon. Albert Rust, member Of Con-.
gress from Arkansas, and leaves. We
understand, an amiable and interesting
young wife TO mourn his sudden death,
besides large circle Of warm friends
and relatives. He is spoken Of by bic
numerous friends here as having been
a writer Of fine abilities.
