Charleston In the Cruoi BILE.

Last year, the present commander at
Fort Sumter killed his superior officer in
duel. A military tribunal sat on his c.ss,
and he was acquitted. There recently two
officers fought duel, enc was killed, and
the survivor was araigned before the civil
court and jury empannellsd to try the
case. The Southern Lutheran, published
10 that city. says:
.Ths duel and the killing having been
admitted both by the prisoner aud his un
fortunate adversary prior TO his death, the
accumulation Of evidence was unneee ssary,
and consequently there was but ono witness
examined. The jury, after very brief
charge from the judge, retired, and in few
minutes returned verdict Of not guilty.
What struck us foreibly vas the charge
and the verdict Of the jJry, - contrasted
with the law and the testimony. The plain
statsmsnt OF the law, 10, that killing in .
duel 10 murder, and the judge in giving his

time, II We understand bin right, informed

szpenents Of public sentiment and that il
was for them 10 determine how far that
should weigh In deciding she case. The

Go TO WoRK.-The idea of "rcspec-
table employment" is the rock upon
which thousands split, and shipwreck
themselves and all who depend on them.
All employments are respectable that
bring honest gains. The laborcr who is
willing TO turn his hands to anything is
as respectable as the clerk or dapper store
tender. Indeed the man who is ready to
work whenever work offers, whatever it
may be, rather than lie idle and beg, is
a far more respectable man than one who
turns up his nose at hard labor, wearies
his friends with his complaints because he
can get nothing respectable to do, peck
cts their benelactons without thankful
ness, and goes on from day TO day, a
useless, lazy grumbler.
