The HEROES OF THE REVOLUTION The following
extracts from the letters of General Nathaniel
Greene will be read with int2rest:
AT the battle Of Eutaw Springs" writes the
General, hundreds of my men were naked as they
were born. POsterity will scarcely believe that the
bare loins of many brave men, who carried death
into the eneTny's ranks at Eutaw, were CALLED by
their Osrtouch boxes while folded rag or tuft Of
moss protected their shoulders from sustaining the
came injury from the musket'
In letter to the Secretary of War, he says: 1--WE
have three hundred men without arms and more
than one thousand 80 naked that they can be put
on duty only in cases of a desperate nature. [

Fatal Duel,

In consequence of difficulty, having its origin
in a personal matter connected with the pending
congressional election in Mississippi, Col. Vim. A.
Lake, of Warren county, and Col. Hal. Chambers,
of Coahoma county, had hostile meeting on the
Arkansas shore, opposite this city, yesterday fore
noon After all attempts to effect n reconciliation
had failed, the gentlemen exchanged shots, and at
the third fire Col. Lake fell having been struck in
the back part Of the head. The weapons used were
Mississippi rifles, distance fifty PAGES. Col. Cham
bers escaped unhurt Col Lake wss Immediately
brought the city, and is lying AZ the GayOso
under the attendance OF our most skillful ply
clans, who, sorry to say, entertain but slight
hopes Of his recovery. This unhappy affair is
greatly to be regretted, as both were gentlemen
who justly enjoyed the confidence Of the public.
Colonel Lake has resided number of years in Vicks
bug, ard mas represented his district in the cd Con
gress and also in the Mississippi Legislature Col
Chambers has also represented kis county in the
Legislature.
Col Lske expired last evening between eight and
nine O'Clock. We understand his remains will be
taken to Vicksburg by the earliest mode of convey

THE STEAMER BERMUDA.-Now, that the Southern
Press has been enlightened by the New York Her
aid on the subject of the arrival Of the Bermuda,
her cargo, ETC., venture to transfer to these col
umns the following description OF her appearance
which find in one of the papers of the interior
She has the rig of full rugged brig, and coming
into port under sail with light head Of steam and
her smoke stack down, her appearance, at a short
distance, indicated nothing more than an ordinary
brig She has no sign of port holes from the out
side and the only indication on the decks that she
is designed for war vessel is the presence of four
ring bolts firmly fixed in the decks She is design
ed to carry four guns on deck, and although there
no gun carriages to be seen yet there are four
ten inch rifle cannon SLIng in way that they could
be brought into action had there been OCCASION on
very short notice. Her ulwarks, instead of being
sod as usual, were constructed of fancy wire net
ting. She presents beautiful appearance extern
ally. and when she is fully fitted for action she WILL
no doubt prove an ugly customer for the enemy to
cope with.
