Col. MulllgAn's Diary.
From the Richmond Dispatch, Aug.

From the Richmond Dispatch, Aug. /.
The diary of General Mulligan, who was
killed at kernstown, IL valuable record, and
we hope will be kept as precious memento
OF this war His dependency about the war
and conqueriug the South is most pithily ex-
pressed IN the last entry made by him on the
day of battle We'll" said he, our cause
is gloomy we will conquer the South about
the time the Jews all return to Jerusalem r.
General Mulhgau left in black aud white
hs opinion OF Gen. Hunter. He calls him n
"fiend" He "tlushes for his country for
keeping such 6end IN the service" Hunter
is liend He S said to be V,rgiuian, and
we are not surprised at his deprsvity; for u
Virginian that turns against his mother must
be very bad man We are never aslonished
at any crime that Virginia traitor is guilty
Of But who is, or was Mulgan, that he
could leel indignation at the brutalities Of a
Federal General towards Southerners He
was hardly Yankee, and could not possibly
have been a Puritan, He was either an Irish
man or the son OF one, He had somewhat
of magnanimity and humanity, and not par
ticle Of either could enter the Puritan heart
Peace to the ashes OF General Mullgan he
was that rare man in the Yankee army--l
generous adversary.

Duel Between the Editor of the
Richmond Examiner aud the
Treasurer OF the Confederate
states.
From the Richmond wing, August lGl
The ehivalry, as well as poneombatants, Tor
the first time ior many day were thrown in
TO an excitement this morning BY rumor
that a hostile meeting had taken place be-
tween John N Daniel, Esq, Of the Richmond
Examiner, and E. @. Eimore, Confederate
States Treasurer. The current report ~ that
the meeting took place at half past clock
this morning, on Diirs farm, tive miles north

Mr.. II Rives Pollard OF the Eraminer, act
ed as the friend OF Mr Daniel, and Lieuten-
ant Thomas Taylor, Of South Carolina, as the
friend of Mr. Elmore The weapons used, It
is said, we're the ordinary smooth bore duel
I ling pistols; the distance ten PAGES, Only
two shots were exchanged, Mr.. Daniel being
wounde at the second FIRE in the flesh part OF
the right leg, lew inches above the ankle.
dis wound, though not dangerous, is said to
be very painful,
/ The affair grew out of paragraph which
appeared in the local column Of the Eraai.
ner OF the lat inst headed alleged Delaca-
ton in the Tresury Department-Astounding
Developments,
The paragraph announced that the arrest
/ of Detective f. w Boyd, on ;he charge OF hl-
tempting to bribe Detective II. b Craddock
"into silence in respect TO certain facts con
cerning u high official of the Treasury de
partment, had resulted in bringing to its de

that public rumor uujustly pointed TO him a

An Important DlMeremcr.

A writer in the Cincinnati Gazette says
ut ia as we'll known as anything the most
general, that the National Union League is
an organization having for its object the
maintenance Of the Government of the Uni

ganzatiou is simply an oath OF allegiance to
the United States Government Why, then,
should the ST. Louis Union warn the people
to beware OF the National Union LeagueT

We give for what they are worth few
OF the statements and opinions of the

LAN's friends make the most noise, and are
probably in the largest numbers, The
peace men have no concentration on any
particular candidate He says he is au-
thorized to say that VALLANDIGHAM is not,
and will not be, candidate. PENDLRToN
is often mentioned so are SEYMOUR ol

force will turn up under the leadership OF
DEAN RICHMOND, in favor of JoHS A

Judging from appearances, will mostp prob
ably be the candidate, on a carefully word
