Communication Of Mr.. I. II. Sears.

This gentleman will please take no
tice that, while our modesty forbids us
to claim great ability as editors, we
consider ourselves amply qualified to
treat upon such small subjects as he is.
We beg he will take notice Of an
other thing also, that no such personal
slang AS found its way into yesterdays
News will prevent us from showing him
and his official acts up to the tax payers
OF this city as they deserve to be. We
cannot be turned from the scent in any
such way.
1t is, however, a little amusing to
hear him charging us with being owned,
when the only we'll established reputa-
ton he has in this town, is that Of
being a very diminutive tool and toady
for certain shinplaster operators
sort of a man Friday. If he did not
happen to be acting in a public capac-
ity he would not be worth our powder.
We will not, however, hit him very
severely. No one holds him response
bic for good or bad acts except 80 fal
as he acts as the tool for others.
In a dav or two we shall have some
thing more to say upon the subject,
and may speak more fully Of Mr.. Sear't
article.

Local EDITORIAL Duel IN NEW ORLEASs.-
The Delta, Of New Orleans, dated the 3Oth
ult., contains an account of the duel which
lately came off between the ~"local" Of that
paper and the "local" Of the Crescent:
A hostile meeting took place yesterday ct
the "Oaks," near the Halfway House, be-
tween Mr.. Joseph Hsnlon. Of the True Delta,
and Mr.. Israel Gibbons, Of the Crescent
The Weapons used were duelling pistols,
distance twelve PAGES. At the first fire Mr..
Gibbons received the ball Of his adversary
in the breast, and was caught by his second
as he fell. Upon examination it was found
that the wound was extremely dangerous.
and it was thought advisable to not move
him from the ground. We, however. learn
ed that he was subsequently, removed. Mr..
Hanlon escaped uniajured, the ball Of his
adversary cutting his coat.
The difficulty, we learned, grew out OF
some compositions which were read before
the Girls High School lat week, and which
we're published in the True Delta OF last
Saturday 1t appears that Mr.. Hanlon OBJ
tanned them for publication in such a man
ner as to call forth some remarks from Mr..
Gibbons, which the former considered in
cutting, and which, after some correspon-
dence, led to a challange from Mr.. Hsnlcn.
The parties hitherto have been firm t lends.
When we last heard from Mr.. Gibbons it was
feared he could not survive.
Later accounts state that Mr.. Gibbons Il

A Pickpocket Game.

Experience keeps "A dear school but fools
will. be taught in no other. OIL sas."
a few days since, in one of the most
frcquented thoroughfares of the city of
New York, an elderly and respectable
looking gentleman was observed to stop
and gaze i~ntcntly into the airabove him.
The consequence was that a large
crowd immediately collected about him,
all directing their eyes %hcavenward,
seeking to DISCERN the object which
had attracted his attention. The
enquiry being made as to what he saw,
he answered "a balloon" A portion
of the crowd asserted that no such
object was in view, but others succeed
ed IN lmpresslng the fact upon their
lmaginations that they saw a small
speck far away in the azure vaults of
heaven. Suddenly the respectable
gentleman was missing from the crowd
and subsequent investigation reveal
ed the fact that several watches and
pocket books belonging to inquisitive
members Of the crowd. were also mis-
sing. The conclusions arrived at, by
the victims was, that no balloon had
been sight and that the operation was
merely ruse to give the respectable
gentleman and his accomplices an OPP
portun'ty to pick their pockets.
Taking their cue from this old pick
pocket game, the republican wire pul-
lers OF the State of Iowa, directed the
attention ofthc populacc to the wrongs
of "blecding Kansas" and while the
people looked and wept at the imagin-
airy sufferings of the "hosts of freedom"
under command Of Gen. Jim Lane, thew
were flching from the treasury of the
State. While Governor Grimes in his
celebrated message, directed the gaze
OF the people into vacancy, when he
averred he saw "border rufian outra-
ges" and terrible 'proslavery schemes
