A PEN-P Cincinnati seems to be ri
valing some of the New England cities in the
way of clerical politicians. Gurley one of the
candidates for Congress on the Black Republi-
can and Know Nothing fusion ticket, is a prea-
cher. Another chap by the name of Walden,
who alternately figures in theology and politics,
has his full length drawn by the Cincinnati En-
quirer as follows
" The other night he made flaming political
harangue at the fusion meeting in Fifth street
Market space, and out-heroded Herod in the
volume and coarseness of his SANDER, and the
size and weight of his lies against the Democ-
racy. Last Sunday, out in Green Township, he
mounted the pulpit before moderately sized
congregation, and gave them preach on reI
| gion. With mock mien and in holy phrases
he exhored in favor of the precepts of the Bible;
invelghed against sin gave the Devil one or
two pokes in the ribs; threw one or two holv
boulders at the Democratic party gave the
Black Republicans an exalted puff. then reyc-
rently dismissed the crowd with bcnedictiop.
and stalked out of the house, with one of Caup's
best beavers, which he had won of Democrat
in bet on the last electionl He can take the
socks of of Parson Brownlow any time as !
blackguard, or eclipse Kalloch himself as hyp.

Jaohson,s Duel with dickinson.

The following is General Jackson's own &C
count of the duel, told Gen. Eaton, who related
the same to writer in the New York Nssrs:
Jackson settled eft Nashville between the years
1890 and 1900, and began the practice of law.
Dickinson WAS already there following the same
profession. He was great duelist, having kill
ed several in duels, and almost certain to kill at
the first FIRE. His mode of firing was uncommon
Instead of raising his pistol from his side to fire
at the word, he would bring it down from above
until he got it to the proper level, and then fire.
All the merchants in Nashville had Dickinson
retained in their behalf, and he being the only
lawyer there until jackson came. no redress
could be obtained by the opposite side Gen.
jackson refused TO be retained by these merch-
ants to the exclusion of all other parties. The
consequence was that he issued sixty writs at
the first term of the court ct Nashville.
He issued writs against the merchants who,
until then, had gone scot free. This irritated
them, and they being desirous of getting Gen.
jackson out Of the way, melted Dickinson to
provoke duel. He began by acting, on trials,
offensive 10 the General.
He demonstrated with Dickinson, and plainly
told him that he would not submit to such dis
respectful treatment.
| Dickinson persisted, and General Jackson
challenged him. The time and place for the
combat were fixed upon, and the news spread for
miles around There were at least two thous-
and persons on the ground, and bets were made
as if ii were horse race
| Dickinson himself bet that he would kill Gen.
jackson at the first fire. Dickinson fired first,
and his ball hit Jackson the right pap, and
peeled his breast. He had callous lump there
until the day Of his death. AS soon as the smoke
of Dickinson's pistol blew away, he saw Gene
raj Jackson still standing, and be exclaimed,
Havn't killed the damned rascal yet?" Gen.
Jackson told General Eaton that until then he
meant to give him his life, but on hearing these
words, he raised his pistol, fired, and killed
Dickinson instantly.
