A Duel between Ladics--l s EN- "a rk a BILE
Escape.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer September ..
On Monday forenoon several ladies,
while on visit to fri nds house, short
distance from Gray's Ferry, were amusing
themselves by singing and dancing, when
one OF them, resident of Baltimore, sang
a verse o: the Benny Blue Flag" one
OF the other ladies jestingy said, "You're
a REBEL at which another commenced the
"SOuthern Marseillaise ;" when it was fin
ished, the lady who had been called a rebel
said, /" / wish We had pistols; I'd fight a
duel with you for calling me a rebel" At
this, daughter of the gentleman at whose
house they were said, "We have pistols in
the house, but they are not loaded" They
were brought; and, in order to give it the
form of duel, distances were measured in
the room, the ladies took their places, word
was given, Zone, two, thee, when the
lady who had called the other "rebel"
said, 81 will sit in this chair, as wish to
die easy" Word was again given, and the
Baltimore lady, who had self-cocking pis-
tol. pulled the trigger, and bang" went
the pistol; piercing scream was heard,
and in an instant the room was filled with
the members of the family, when it was
discovered that two of the ladies had
swooned; the Baltimore lady was stand
ing motionless, and the one who wishedt to
"die easy" sitting pale with terror in her
chair; one ball had passed through her
dress on the left side, grazing the skin;
while in the leaf of table on which she
had rested her arm were eight distinct shot
holes, and one bullet embedded in the
wood. The pistol had been loaded by a
boy on the 4th of July, but the charge had
not been fired. The ladies were soon re-
stored to consciousness, and commenced to
realize the danger of meddling with fire.

will not disregard for the future.

interesting Experimentation to
Discover Murder by PhotOg-
raphy.

From the Evansville lind. Journal Sept. ?.
We believe it is one of Mrs. South
worth's stories in the New York Ledges.
that represents murderer as being con-
victed by photograph of his victims
eyes, upon the retina of which was pic
tured the features of the assassin. SINH
lar experiments, we are informed, have
been made in France with great success,
and mysterious murders unravelled through
the fundamentally of Daguerre's wonder
full art. Notwithstanding we had heard
OF these strange things, we were still I'M
der the impression that "dead men tell
no tales, until recent experiment has
shaken our faith and almost convinced us
that dead men yet speak.
On Sunday forenoon, Mr.. Adams, a
photographic ofthis city, at the solicitation
OF some gentlemen who had read of similar
experiments in France, took his instru-
ment and visited the scene of the late
murder in German township. This was
some thirty hours after the murdered man
had breathed his last. There was great
deal of dust flying, and great crowd COL
lected, which materially interfered with
the success of the experiment, but not
withstanding these unfavorable circum
stances, Mr.. Adams succeeded in taking
tolerably fair "negative.'' Upon this be
has been experimenting, and yesterday we
were called on to witness the result of his
expo riment.
He had taken an ambrotype picture Of
the eye of the deceased, and rubbing out
everything but single object apparently
in the centre of the eye, this was placed
under an ordinary magnifying glass. At
the first glance the object appeared blurred
and indistinct, but, getting the proper To-
Gus, the outlines of human face were at
once distinguishable The image was
apparently the face of man with unusu-
ally prominent cheek bones, long nose,
and broad forehead. A black moustache
was plainly seen, and also the direction of
the eyes, which seemed looking at some
object sideways. One of the eyes was as
clearly seen as the eyes in common am
brotype or tenotype. Some who examined
the image thought the man of which it
seemed to be resemblance had roman
nose, and also had on cap.
MIR. Adams is continuing his expert
ments, but whether he will succeed in
making any clearer developments remains
to be seen. His labOrs thus far are abund.
antly rewarded by the success which has
attended his efforts, as it seems to us he
has demonstrated that an object was pic
tured upon the eye of Mr. Herks at the
time of his death, and that the object was
a human face.

"Are these men mostly in favor Of the
~

care these men mostly in favor of the
Union2" inquired.
"AN are now" was the answer, "be-
cause all look to the triumph of the Union
arms to assure them of their safety, and
restore them again to friends and home.
Among the deserters, however, are some
who were bitter secessionists from the start,
and were amongst the first to volunteer in
the rebel army" s ra
r0" And do you think these men are sim
cere Unionists now ?" asked.
"No," was the remarkable reply, "they
doubtless love the Union now no better
than they did at first, but so terrible have
been their sufferings in their attCmpt to
overthrow it, that hereafter no men will
be more fercely hostile to secession than
they" a
tWere most of the deserters to whom
you refer, enlisted originally in North
Georgian"
II can not say that most of them were, "
he answered. "They are from every
southern state. I know of an entire COM
munity from an Alabama regiment who
are nov staying in the mountains, and one
at least of their lieutenants is with them.
Hundreds are there also, from Tennessee,
and even South Carolina has contributed
to swell the number. Notwithstanding
this" he continued, cit is still thought
that, from some of the neighborhoods in
Georgia, almost every man who went into
the rebel service, and has not persisted in
the field or in the hospital, had deserted,
and is now safe among the mountains!"
"How many do you suppose there are
altogether of these deserters in North
Georgia ?" was my next question.
81 can not say for all this section, !" was
the old mans reply. 81 am not much &C
quAinted with affairs outside the three
counties, Lumpkin, Dawson and Pickens,
but in these I should judge that the num-
Der would not fall short of five thousand.
care they armed ?" I asked.
"There is perhaps not one of them who
has not gun of some kind" said the old
man: "but their weapons are of every
description, from the deadly rifles which
they brought with them when they left
the army, down to shot guns which they
picked up on the way, or which some
friends secretly furnished them"

High and Dry.

The State University is to be located
on the highest elevation Of Mt. Dread,
near Lawrence. Gov. Robinson gives
-or exchanges for other property
forty acres Of land to the institution.
The high elevation has been selected,
it would seem. simply because Of its
being high. and thus affording a wide
range OF vision. We have heard no
other reason assigned for the selection
Of the site. 1t may be all very well to
have a wide sp, ,eading field OF survey
as an appendage Of an institution Of
learning. al,h,ught il does not strike
US as being very requisite essential;
whereas. the climbing of the "high.s
elevation" in the country roundabout a
