GEO. D. PRESTIGE

Our old friend Hanson wishes to be
thought an honorable and chivalric gen.
tleman, but be has evidently been try
ing to take an unfair advantage of us.
With our characteristic courtesy, we
have treated him in the correspondence
above as if we supposed he actually
wanted to fight us with guns, pistols,
swords, or bowie knives, but be needn't
fatter himself that we don't know bet
ter. He is only trying to get a cheap
reputation for courage. In his late
pamphlet he alluded to the little affair
between us and himself and proposed
that we and he should meet "some-
where outside of Jefferson county and
either fight it out, quarrel it out or
drink it out" And now he is under
taking to carry out that programme.
He asks us to meet him outside OF JEFF
ferson to settle the affair, without say
ing or even intimating in which of the
three ways previously indicated he
means to have the thing done. Alb,
the sly old fellow can't catch us that
way. If VIC were to meet him, he
would, as we said in our remarks upon
his pamphlet, manage to throw some
difficulty in the way of every other
mode of settlement except "drinking
It out"
Now we boldly say that we will en-
counter our fat foe in no such duel.
Moreover he is guilty of foul play
Gentlemen, when duel is pending be-
tween them, esteem it point of honor
to abstain entirely from practicing with
the weapons they expect to use. But
Roger, setting all the laws Of cbivalry
at nought, is practicing with bottles and
tumblers from morning till night every
-day-and gives himself double practice
on Sunday. We should be justified in
posting him for his conduct. 1t is un-
gentlemanly. 1t is unmanly. 1t is
cowardly. Roger should be ruled at
once out of the honorable fraternity of
duelists. We invoke them to call a
meeting and expel him.

Col. Guthrie, commanding that post,
heard that Gen. Berkley was raising

Capt. Wheeler's company A, of the
First Kentucky Regiment, and Capt.
Rook and his company, Of the Twenty
sixth Ohio Regiment. An ample re-
serve force was ordered to follow in
proper time, that the two companies
might fall back upon it. if they found
the enemy too strong for them. With
the aid Of the Home Guards, however,
they were ample for the work, as the
following will show:
