A SHARPSHOOTER's DUEL.-A distinguished
duel occurred on the battlefield of Fort Donel-
son, between one of Colonel Birge's Sharp
shooters and crack shot inside the enemy's
Notifications
The Feseralist was stationed on a hill adioin-
ing the entertainments, and at an early bour
in the morning the Secession foe placed his
rifle on parapet, and fred ball through the
Unionist's hat. The Shsrpshooter returned
his fire, received a sec.nd shot, and sent
another; and from that time until 4 O'Clock in
the afternoon the two continued dischargino
their pieces without injuring one another.
Both fired accurately; but both concealed
their persons as much as possible, and endeav-
ored to deceive each other by putting their
hats on their ramrods, and thrustine their
coats from behind the Notifications or the trees
Whatever was exposed almost invariably re.
ceived bullet; but the two were 30 wary and
skillfal that it seemed they might FIRE until
doOmsday without danger to either. About
the hour l have mentioned, however, the
Rebel fOrgetful of prudence, thrust his head
over the breastworks. thinking, no doubt, as
his enemy had not fred for FIVE minutes. that
he might be dead. The movement was fatal
His head was not exposed FIVE seconds; but in
that brief period the sharpshOoter's ball passed
into the Rebels brain, and stretched him out
corpse before the unfortunate fellow had
been able to determine where his enemy was
lurking, or by whose hand he was destined
to fall.
