4 Duel In Prospect.

Under date of the 18th, the Washington cores
pondent of the n. Y. Herald writes:
The letter published in the Constitution this
morning, signed by Senator Johnson, of Arkansas,
denouncing Col. Hindman, member of the House
from Arkansas has excited the friends of these
gentlemen to an unusual degree, as the principals
well known to be men of genuine and not
sham chivairy. Senator johnson is expected here
every train and upon his arrival it IS understood
that Col. Hindman will challenge him. Annexed
is the letter of Col. Johnson, to which ausion is
made above:
Dear .Sd' During my absence at Little Rock,
many letters have accumulated for me. They
make it clear that | cannot with propriety leave
the State without further public declaration Of
my intention.
The writers of these letters my friends. They
urge me to declare myself candidate for re-elec-
ton to the L. S. Senate or for Governership, and
they did so chiefly account Of Col. Hindman 5
turbulent and distractpg course. | cannot, with
all my devotion to the will and my Difference to the
opinions of my friends give my consent to the fur
tier use of my name for either office.
Col. Hnflmans attempted disruption Of the unity
and harmony of the Democratic party Is all selfish
and in less than twelve months will be OF small
moment. He is represented to have aSsalled my
political acts very bitterly but without personal
insult This ] do not object to but he has in
every other way sought to be offensive, and par
ticularly by a frequent and general denunciatlon
of the family of johnsOnS, and, to add to his olten
siveness he pledged himself in his public speeches
to visit Little Rock and to denonncc them to their
faces The oath inst. was the day set apart fol
this purpose, and was public to all. ! Travelled
him the opportunity. He failed to attend and re
deem his pledge. His excuse was false in spirit
and patry in fact and the whole affair | pro
nounce to be another Of his ingenious devices to
win for himself name for courage, and to fling
on others an imputation of cowardcc.
His conduct in the few years he has been here is
to my mind that OF bully, and an mpostor in The
| ranks of honor.
His position as a member of Congress secures
for him my notice. .
In again announcing to my fellow-citizens m,
wish to retire from public life beg to express III.
deep sense of gratitude for the many honors the.
have conferred upon me, and for the unchangin
confidence they have shown me for so many years
/ am very respectfully
Il. w JOHNSON.
w. F. DOUGLASS.
P.S.-My private affairs will detain me, perhaps
until the sth of December at home after which
shall hasten on to Washington.

Prince Hayti, to the end of October published in
the Havana papers, state that very violent hurri-
cane had passed over the southern coast of the
island extending to Jeremie where it had destroy
ed more than sixty houses. Two coasting schoon-
crs were wrecked in the bay of Jeremie, and sew
eral other vessels were dashed upon the coast. 1t
was supposed that number of other craft had
been wrecked, from the fact that a great many
dead bodies had been washed ashore.
