In accordance with the terms of the challenge
received and accepted by :he members of the Pick

peake Cricket Club, both of this city, ''to play a
friendly game" the eleven players from each Club
met on Monday morning, 4th instant at o clock,
on ground selected about quarter of a mile south
west from Union Square, surrounded by host of
OF friends and admirers of this beautiful athletic
game. The captains tossed up for the innings,
when the Pickwicks won the choice, and sent the
Chesapeakes to the bats, three or four of whom
were bowled out without making a single run,
which was unquestonably fast bowling, and was
calculated to dampen the ardor of the Chesapeakes
but nothing daunted they determined to contest
the strength of their opponents to the last, and
from that to the close of the match the game was
played with great and atten ion but the utmost
exertons OF the Chesapeakes was no match for the
good batting and excellent fielding of the Pick
wickS.
The game was won in three innings, two by the
Chesapeakes and one by the Pickwicks, with the
following result, viz:

Advices from Frankfort state that the German
Confederation understood to have resolved that
80 900 men 40, 900 Prussian and 40 900 Austrianl
shall be stationed the Rhine It's also asserted
that an arrangement has been made for such Aus
trian troops as are now engaged on garrison duty
in the federal fortresses to be relieved by other
German troops so that they may be set free for ac-
tive operations in Italy or elsewhere. There were
likewise strong rumors that Prussia will issue some
decisive announcement in the of a few days.
According to prevalent conjecture peace is to be
proposed to the Emperor Napoleon on certain con-
ditons and if these refused, Germany is to en-
ter into the war. Under these circumstances there
is a great anxiety and stagnation in all the com
mercial cities, but it is added that the want of en-
ployment for money causes numerous investments
in Stocks and prices therefore well maintained.

As Marshal Mcmahon entered Miian,a little girl of
five years of age, dressed in white, presented him
with bouquet nearly as big as herself He raised
her up, and placed her standing before him on the
saddle. 'The child, says a letter, threw her lit

by his political friends, was a great affair. He
spoke for two hours. He regarded the long agita-
ton of the slavery question as having resulted ben

repudiated the idea of having more slave States

THE WAY TO STOP DUELING.-The Chicago
Press and Tribune revives the history Of the first
aud last duel ever fought in that State. In the
year 1920, AlphoDzO Stewart and William Ben
nett fought with rifles in St. Clair county, and
Stewart fell mortally wounded on the first fire.
Bennett made his escape into Arkansas. where he
remained two years. His whereabouts was dis
covered, he was arrested, brought back, indicted,
tried, cOnUiefed Of murder and erecuted. Bond,
who wss then Governor of Illinois, was inces-
sanity besieged by the friends of Bennett and the
advocates of the gentlemanly code" who
prayed for bis pardon. But the Governor turned
deaf ear to all their clarnorngs, and the maj
esty of'tbe offended law was vindicated Bennett
was publicly hung, and dueling in Illinois was
crushed out It's a bloody practice and requires
rigid treatment
