Fight Among the War
Journals.

The war journals of New York are
engaged in family quarrel. The New
York Herald of the 2sd opens the fir,
in the following manner:
The Tribune devoted its whole edi
torial page and the Times couple oi
columns to the case of the Herald yes
terday. Our adversaries-unlike those
OF the two moribund abolition organs
leave us but little space to reply,
and, besides, it is not worth while to
waste much powder ON such small
game. The Tines says we are in favor
of JEFF. Davis and the Confederates
The ''little villain" knows that he imi-
tates bis father, the devil, when he
writes that II the Confedcrates trium-
phed, what would property be worth
here? The Times has only $4,000, ac-
cording to is own confession, and has
outstanding notes to double that a.
mount Now, the Herald has plenty of
real estate, and no note out. OF course,
then, it would lose every thing. Which
paper, is the most likely to favor
Confederate success, the HsraM or the
Times
The Tribune accuses us Ct wishing
war with England Why? $50 that
the Confederate may succeed" says
the Tribune. That is very well for the
Tribune, whose size is reduced whose
salaries are cut down, who tried to rob
the Journeyman printers, whose whole
concern is not worth bad half penny.
But for us-look at the paragraph a.
boye in reply to the 7Emrs. Then the
Tribune lies little about the Herald,
and then It denies several true things
we say of it For instance, that 7fi-
6uHe man came to our Office and beg
ged us to cease exposing the 1tjbnne's
faults. Now, we assert that partner
and a stakeholder in the Tribune news
paper came to our office, during the
Bull Kun excitement, and begged us
to cease our attacks on the Tribune,
as he feared that Office might be mob
bed. lie also told us that Greeley was
i'll of brain fever; that the excitement
about the Bull Run affair was killing
and begged us to appease
that excitement IF the Tribune wants
the mans nam we will give it. Thai
will do for to-day, Messieurs.

The SEoUEsrRArIoN Law. - There
seems to be some confusion in the
public mind respecting the operation
of this law 1t is sometimes supposed
that it is g neral spoliation of all
property on which the owners are living
i'll the former United States. But this
is clear mistake. The act has refe.
renee to none but aliens Perhaps the
natives and naturalised citizens of
Massachusetts, Or any of those States
may be legally characterised as aliens
now They never were citizens of South
Carolina, their civil rights depended
on the constitution of the United States,
which gave to the ci!izans of any State
rights of q citizen in every State. And
the constitution being abolished, the
rights which depened on this clause are
abolished with it, SO that they are now
citizens of Massachusetts, and nothing
more. But citizen Of South Carolina
residing in Boston is not an alien. The
act has no words that apply to such
persons. Even if he were in the SER
vice of the hostile government he
would not be an alien, though he might
be an enemy. The State has right to
call upon its citizens" to come home
when their services are needed, other
wis 1t, is no offence to reside in an
enemy's country, 50 long as man does
nothing but live privately and peacea,
bly, there.
This is highly penal law, and must
receive strict construction but no
fair construction can make the term
alien include d native citizen who has
never been legally expatriated
Let no one therefore distress himself
with the notion that he is obliged to
inform against his countryman or coun-
trywoman that is KEEP in an enemy's
country by considerations of health or
cheapness. LEGIsT

South Carolina, then, is the
true battlefield where this war
should be fought out. Her sands
are the proper arena. Elsewhere
our armies injure property and
destroy life with brotherly reluc-
tance. But her conduct has plac-
ed South Carolina outside the
limit of our regard. On her soil
hostile armies may meet as on
neutral ground, and We are much
mistaken if the South would not
see with almost equal pleasure

truculent, the most selfish, the
proudest and the meanest State Of

Downfall OF the Gamblers
at Richmond, Va.

Extract from a Richmond Letter, dated
Nov. 9th, to the Memphis Appeal
As to that sorrowful downfall
of the gamblers, it was not so
complete as could have been de-
sired, but auspicious nevertheless.
On Saturday night about IL ocl'k
the police made simultaneous
descent into the two most elegant
and aristocratic hells Of the city,
(Worsham's, near the Exchange
Hotel, and Monteiro's, contiguous
to the Spotswood House), and
somewhat smashed up and scatter
ed the internal gods. Supper,
sumptuous and savory, going on,
or rather going off up stairs; po-
lite, well dressed dealer, seated
behind the table slipping the aw-
ful cards deflly through the silver
box; multitudinous betters, sol.
diers, civilians and otherwise, seat
ed around and bending over the
ollcloth, with its aces aud knaves,
and tall piles OF many colored
ivory; servants, sleek, solt.footed
negroes, running about the room
over the rich carpet with brandy,
and water and cigars-when en-
Ter constable and companions,
whereupon general confusion and
dlsmay, cursings and swearinss,
and a rapid leaking out at the
front door, Of visitors, military
and civic, overhowiag Main St.
End Franklin ST., as the case
might be. A!n.o instantaneous
ly with these marvellous proceed
ings, the gas went out in every
hell in this city, for the alarm
had gone forth, and all the appa-
ratus Of faro was immedi ateiy re-
moved from apartments where
the game had gone on undisturb-
ed since the day of Secession
Bat for this, a thorough overhaul
ing and cleaning out Of these es-
tablishnents might have been ef-
iected- As you imagine, the rage
OF the gamblers to-day is excess
i've; but if it be true, as rumored,
that the police in this matter have
acted in accordance with the wish
es Of the President. and it is his
fixed determination to put a stop
to gambling in this city, at all
they might as Welt at
once subside, ard bid Richmond
!are@eli.

MR. JonS SLrDErL, at present
residing in Fort Warren, is a ma
tive of New York City. Hi,
father was a very respectable tai.
low chandler, and for some time
President Of the Mechanics
Bank. In the times when the
compact part of the city hardly
extended above Houston street,
the family residence was on the
Bloomingdale Road, at or about
the present intersection Of Thir-
tieth str, ct with Broadway, and is
still standing. One of the prom
inent events of John Slidell's life
in this city was his duel with
Stephen Price, the manager OF
the Park Theatre. For some
cause Price challenged Slidell,
then an enterprising young mer-
chant. They fought on the early
morning OF a day on which Price
was to give large dinner party
By some curious mischance,
Price was shot in delicate pos
terror region, but the dinner par
ty came off Notwithstanding
Price received mis- guests in bed.
II was this duel, and the scandal
arising from it, that induced Sill
dell to become a resident of New
Orleans. Stephea Price was
noted duelest. On one occasion
British officer named Green, on
his way to Canada, got in,o some
difficulty with Prices younger
brother, at the Park Theatre, but
the matter was settled quietly
On arriving at his posi-, Green
was taunted by brother officer at
the mess table with not having
resented an insult given by a
Yankee. Geea returned to New
York and challenged young
Price. They fought, aad Price
was killed. Stephen Price be.
trayed no resentment toward
Green, but hearing some time al
terwald that the officer who had
ipcited Green was at the City
Hotel, he called there and was
shown to the officers ROOM
Handing him 4 card, he said,
That Is my name; shall 4 spit
in your face, or will you consiG-
er it done?' The officer respon-
ded that he understood the insult,
and Price was challenged. The
duel followed. and the officer was
shot dead the first fire.

A Daring Exploit.

among the many instances
where the bravery of our officers
and men have shown conspicuous,
the one we copy from the Boston
Gazette is almost unequalled:
Captain Spencer, Aid to Gen.
Wool, received information from
two ladies', who went from Nor
folk to Fortress Monroe wias a
dag Of truce, that near midnight
siK-oared boat was to leave
Norfolk for Richmond with mon
ey for the payment Of the Rebel
soldiers. He requested rer,lis-
sion of General Wool to attempt
their capture, and was told not to
place too much confidence in the
information received. Neeeithe-
less, permission was given, and
selecting two good oarsmen on
whom he could wly, with their
oars muhlcd, he started at dark,
and awaited the coming of the en-
eny's boat. He had previously
gwen directions to his men 10
pull directly for the boat, and on
the moment of striking to "back
water" instantly. About mid
night the boatwas heard approach
ing, and taking his station in the
bows, with nine-inch she'll in
his hands, he gave the order to
"give way" The moment his
bows struck the Rebel boat, he
threw the she'll into the middle O!
it, and was himself drawn back,
luckily receiving no injury fyom
the explosion. Not SO the boat
and occupants, however, the for
mer of which was broken in two,
and the latter were scattered In,
all directions in the water, not,
however, before discharging their
pistols at him, two balls going
through his cap and three perfor-
ating his coat. The men were
then told that if they submitted
quietly they would be saved, 9th
e.wise he would leave them to
tker fate. They preferred the
former, and arming himself with
his pistol in one hand, a dirk (ta-
ker by him at the battle OF Bull
Run from "Secesh') in the 9TH |
er, he took them in his boat one
by one, handcuffing them as they
were pulled in. In addition to
which from the Stern OF the enc
my's boat, which foated. he took !
SLIGO in gold, and $4,000 in
their worthless paper money. 1t
was with some difficulty that he
reached the fort, the gunwale OF
the boat being almost level with I
the water with It's increased
freight.
