s1;'f"Thc Argus Of Sept l6 after quoting from an
article in this paper. Qbervillc Gazette Oct 81 in
which i was ayowcd that Davidson was accepted a,
an alternative in jj-that necessity compelled us to
vote for him at that time goes TO ask '' from what
did that necessity come? Why says the Argus:
From the fact that Mr.. Davidson was the only man
in the District who had The nerve TO meet and frh the
enemy when in the full possession Of health and vgor
but now that Know Nohingisn is without organiza-
tionshon Of all powcr'-now that there is no enemy
TO light hundreds Of brave men are ready to 90 forth
TO battle"
We deny the CORRECTNESS. Of the Argus statement
There was man in the District. able in every way to
fill the position Of Representative from the Third Dis
ircta gentleman Of the highest moyal qualities and
superior 70 /. G. Davidson, in natural and acquired
talents. as one man can be TO another: aud we say
further that Judge Pcrlns-who is the gentleman we
have reference to--woud have received an almogt
unanimous nomination in the Convention of 30 had
il not been for the undue Influence cXcred in that con-
ycnton by politicians. Iberyilc had the casting vote
eorncc with the known preference of the Democracy
Of the Parish. Mr.. Perkins would have been nominated.
But as we have said, and are prepared to prove the
lbeyillc delegates induced to vote for Davidson
and did thereby violate the trust rcposed in them by
'' N'rthtiiiN. lNt .AlEuN uDNS Nti 10 lfale about
The brave old war.holsc who met the enemy when
others quailed' There was no quailing by real Dem
ocras, but T. g. Davidson quailcd before the energy
OF the Know Nothing candidate: and n Democratic
majority Of thousand was reduced TO a little more
than hundred votes, Davidson receiving we believe,
only ! lG votes majority
The fact is, Davidson in -. as in 81 was forced
upon the people In % he prcudiced the interest of
hs party In - he will be beaten but will leave no
means uhtried 10 drag down 10 defeat and disgrace
with himself the party 10 which he processes allegiance
The Argus would act the part Of rropricty it ap-
pears 70 US in criticzing the past career Of the Know
Nothing boilers who support Davidson instead Of old
line Democrats who have ever worked in the harness.

Death of Miller Pennington, Esq


Om entire community was startled on
Monday evening by the announcement OF
the deaIh -of MILLER PEkEIsGToS, Esq,
which took place at about hslfpast six
O'Clock. His diserss was hemorsage of
the lungs.
The deceased bad risen to such Promi-
nance, in this section of the State, that his
loss will be severely felt. He has filed
offices Of trust and honor, with credit TO
himself and constituents. Serving the peo-
pie Of this county in toe Legislature for
anomber of wears, where he ranked among
the ablest debaters on its floors, he retired
sothe practice of the law in this place
As parties formerly stood, Mr.. PEssISGToN
was Wing. but when that party disbsnded,
and that enormous iniquity, the repeal oi
the Missouri Compromise, was thrust upon
the North, he, with a great body of the
Northern Whigs, took decided stand
against it, and uniting with the Republican
party. battled manfuliy ard earnestly fol
the success OF it's principles. He man
of vast energy. sn ardent politician, and an
esrnes, and eloquent debs,er. and in the
great campaign of '56 won reputation on
the stump co-extensiye with the State.
His remsins were inferred, at 10 o'clock
this "wednesday morning, in the Friends
Bpying Ground.

Duel Extraordinary.

A duel was fought near this city yesterday
morning, which, for the singularity of its
denouen,ent, is perhaps unparalleled in the
annals of single combat. A well known
gentleman in this community, whom we
shall call Mr.. A feeling himself aggrieved
by the conduct Of another gentleman whom
we shall designate as Mr.. B., sent him a
challenge, which was accepted-w eapons,
pistols; distaEce twelve PAGES; time o.
clock in the morning. The usual prelimi-
nar:es were settled, and at the word 'fire'
both exploded At the same instant B. was
seen to stagger. The seconds rushed up,
when il was found that the bali, had struck
the outer case of his hunting watch, from
which it had glanced at nearly right angle.
passing through the lapel ol hi, coat. The
watch was worn in the vest pocket,and was
almos: directly on the heart. The case was
found TO be considerably battered but other
wise the watch had sustained no injury,
although it had gained three hours in as
many minutes. The hands. which moment
before had stood at twenty minutes past 6,
now marked 81.
But perhaps the most curious part of our
story is TO come. On looking round to see
what had become of A., the seconds discov-
cred him leaning over, in the act of picking
up something from the ground, and on ap-
proaching nearer, discovered,to their aston
ishment, that one of his whskers, which he
wore unusually large and heavy, had been
shorn completely from his face, and that
with as much precision as though ii had been
accomplished BY the most skillful barber. 1t
was thought that some popularity in the
bore of BIS pistol had communicated to the
ball rotatory motion which, combined with
its great velocity, could necessarily produce
an effect similar to that caused by some
sharp instrument. The result OF the duel, so
far. had been go utterly singular that it pre-
cluded all thoughts of pushing it to a further
and perhaps more disastrous issue. The
seconds interposed and ieconciled their
principals ,and in couple ofbours :hereufte
the whole party were toasting each other inr
certain fashionable restaurant below Cana
street.--AeD Orleans Bee, Cd.

day OF the Session, at IL O'Clock, A. M. An

The Ex-CDmmittee regret to announce
that in consequence of an engagement to

of the Association to deliver the Evening
Address. They hope to be able to supply
his place by speaker acceptable to the As
sociation.
The follawing reports will be presented
for the consideration of the meeting, by the
several committees:

port their own conduct ]. A. Garfield of

Amy member having matter which he
would wish to bring before the Assertion,
is requested to make it known to the Ex-

that time may be allotted for its consd-

cilitate the transaction of business, and save
valuable time.

Session both pleasant and profitable one.

Hon. Simon Cameron.

Mr.. Cramer, The talented editor of Daily
Wisconsin, who has been recently travelling
in Pennsylvania, among other places visited
Harrisburg, where he met Senator Cameron
and subsequently visited that gentleman's
country seat near the city. OF this visit
he thus writes:
MY visit to Harrisburg would not be COM
plete without calling upon General Simon
Cameron, the Senator elect from Pennsyl-
vania. He is one of those remarkable men
whom the stranger naturally desires to meet.
He has beautiful place a mile and a half
below Harrisburg, on the Susquehanna -
Since he IS chosen Senator for a second
term, he has concluded to make it his home
and spend the evening of his eventful life,
within sight of that capitol where he has
triumphed so often. He has 4eO acres of
land in his place, which with :he hereditary
love of Scotsman, he has designated it
with the name of Lockiel The house is
situated on the hills, and has a noble view
of the valley of the Susquehanna. His
place is but little interior in beauty, to the
site of the capitol at Harrisburg. We
walked over the orchard and garden, and
we came to the conclusion that he is as sue
cessful farmer, as he is politician The
place reminds me of Lindenwod, (Van
Buren's home) but has finer situation.
A brief acquaintance with Gen. Cameron
will soon convince any one that he is no
ordinary man. His thoughts are clear as a
bell. He is practical in all of his notiens.
He possesses tact not equaled by Van
Buren's, because he has that kind suavity
in his department, which not only wins
friends but retains them. Gen. Cameron IS
position ond influence is one of great i'm
portance with reference to the Presidential
canvass of 1860. After President Buchan-
an, he is unquestionably the man of most
influence in Pennsylvania. and that inhu-
euce is destined to grow during his Sena-
tsrial term. We called upon Gen. Gamer
on with some prejudices against him, but
there were all dispelled under the better
knowledge of personal acquaintance; and
we shall ever regard it among the pleasant
incidents of our visit at Harrisburg, that
we have made the acquaintance of the Sen
a.or elect from Pennsylvania
