Mississippi. Toms spirits soon revived
under the genial example of his fellow
passengers, who, each and all, seemed to
vie with each other in attempts to make
my old friend forget his predicament.
AS for poor Frank Cherrute--ahen'
1 am positively ashamed to admit to the
attentive reader of this truthful sketch,
that my boasted knowledge of human ma
ture was at fault, for once in his case.
But then you know, sir, or madame, that
Frank, on our first acquaintance, wore a
blue dress coat with brass buttons! Don't
forget that fact. Yet I am constrained
to acknowledge that close intamacy Of
four years, (Which ntamacy began aboard
the Montezuma, and subsequently ripen-
ed into the frmest friendship,) has only
served to Increase my admiration of my
friends character. l conGdentiaily aver
that more noble and generous heart
never beat, than that which throbs be,

With qualification / must add. thai

Distressing Scene.

Bray Saunders, who murdered his wife
in Southampton County, Virginia, was
executed at Jerusalem, in that county, on
Friday last. He confessed that he shot
his wife while she was sleeping, and said,
that though he loved her. he was driven
to it by his father-iu-law, who would not
allow them to live happily together. A
minister prayed with the prisoner after
which a letter in the Petersburg Express
says: .Dssoa5g aa't -s'-.ie1 Tas0

announced that at the expiration of ten
minutes, he would proceed to execute the
sentence of the law. The ten minutes

JackSon's Duel With Dickinson.

The following is General Jackson's own
account of the duel, as told by General
Eaton: t-.
jackson settled at 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 killed several
in duels, and almost certain to kill at the
first fire. His mode of firing was uncom-
mon. Instead of raising his pistol at the
word, lie would bring it down from above
until he got it to the proper level, and
then fire. All of the merchants at Nash.
vile had Dickinson retained in their be-
half, and he being the only lawyer there,
until jackson came, no redress could be
obtained by the opposite side. Gener-
al Jackson refused to be retained by
these merchants to the exclusion of all
other parties. The consequence was
that he issued sixty writs to the first
term of the court at Nashville.
He issued writs agains: the merchants
who until then, had gone scot free. This
irritated them, and they being desirous
of getting General Jackson out of the
way, melted Dickinson to provoke a
duel. He began by acting, on trials
offensive to the General Hrz .2a-d
He demonstrated with Dickinson, and
plainly told him that he would not sabmi
to such disrespectful treatment.
Dickinson presisted, and General Jack

for the combat was fixed upon, and th,
news spread for miles around. Their
were at least tive thousand persons OF
the ground, and bets were made as. if il
were horse race.
Dickinson himself bet that he woul
kill jackson at the first fire. Dickinso

right pap and peeled his breast. He ha
