TILE nIrFI. NEAR PENSACOLA

The fact of a duel fought Fort McIlae, Fla between
St. Clair Morgan OF Charleston, S c. and young Ala
baInian named Storrs, late mldshipman in the L. s.
Navy, has been noticed. The Mobile Tribune says:
at seems that on the night of the duel the young
men, with number of comrades were of in boat
accommodating party near Fort Pickens Morgan, full
of reckless daring proposed that they should land just
under the walls Of Pickens make what discoveries they
could but Stors objected, saving that it would expose
them to almost certain capture and the majority of the
party sided with him. But Morgan, hotempered and
impatient reproached Storrs with timdity. few words
passed between them and the boat put back to the main
land. When they had dsenbarked, Storrs said TO Nor
gan that he had minated a doubt of his courage, and
as they had rifles and tho moon shining brightly he
could prove it. Morgan responded to this proposition
with alacrity. Twenty steps paced off, and at the
first FIRE Morgan fell dangerously wounded, the heavy
ball of the Shapes rife having entered hi' right groin
and ranged through and out of the back part of the

LONDON March g. 1861.
Nv Dear Sir You call my attention to letter writ

cities and in the New York Evening Post among other
papers, of which my name has been mentioned as the
author 1t that should concession be made to the

MISE our national credit abroad would be ruined, &c
Toe writer is unknown to me. II had written GU the
subject my remarks would have been the reverse OF
those quoted The anticipation Of bloody conflict be-
tween the North and the South has already destroyed
confidence in the United States Government stocks and
many of the States securities, and millions have, within
a few months, been sent home for market IN conse-
quence 1t is only BIZ concession the part OF the
Northern States, and compromise which would secure
the feelings of the Border States towards the Norm

Crittenden and the noble stand which old Nlrg
ria, Maryland and other sister Bo;der States are
now making for Cancellation and the Union, may
Prove successful but it, contrary to my hopes and expec
tlons it should prove otherwise and those States JOIN
the South evea under Gmea6te arrangements, the con-
slant fear of between the two sections would almost
entirely destroy the credit OF both the Northern anu
Southern Confedesces in Europe. What is still more
important the prestige which has heretofore emblazoned
the arms of our Union will have disappeared, and that
pride OF country which he's been source oil so mucn
