4 Terrible Duel.

A few years since, as a New England
gentleman, whose name We shall call
Brown, was passing few days in one
Of our Western cities, he had the mis-
fortune, unintentionally to offend the
susceptible honor of u tall militia colo
mel, who WAS one of his fellow boardcrs.
His apologies not being satisfactory, q
challenge was sent to him, which, how
ever, he declined, from conscientious
scruples. The colonel, who, by the way,
had won in two or three encounters
quite reputation as a duelist, at once
conceived that his opponent was u cow
ard, and resolved to disgrace him in the
face OF all the assembled wisdom in The
house. Accordingly, the next day, Mt
dinner-tinc, in marched the dueliSt,
armed with cowhide, and advancing
to Browns chair, proceeded to dust his
jacket i'll the most approved style
Brown was astCnished. Luckily he had
been lieutenant of militia in his native
state, and he knew the Importance of
incommOding his enemy by a diversion.
So, seizlng gravy tureen, he tossed the
contents into the face of the belligcrcnt
colonel, and before he could recover
from the drowning sensation thus occa-
stoned, he sprang up on the table, and
began TO shower upon him with lib

"Coward!' the colonel was about to
say, but at that moment a plate of green's
struck full upon his mouth, and the
word was blockaded, lost forever. -

blood was now up, fond of greens, are

Cd a telling volley of hard potatoes at
him. Excellent eggs here, capital
with calves head" and crash came II
plate of soft-boiled eggs against the
aide OF his Uranium. The blows Of the
cowhlde, which had hitherto descended
upon the Yankees head and shoulders,
now began to fall more weakly and
wildly, and ii became evident that the
assailant, half stunned, choied and par
TALLY blinded, was getting the worst of
1t. Ills courage was oozing out. Take
u turkey?' shouted Brown, as the no
ble old gobblcr descended fairly upon
the coioncl's head, and bursting, filed
his hair and eyes with delicious looking
stuliing. Here's the fringes, - he con-
unued, as the squash and jelly follow
ed after. By this time the colonel was
irretrievably defeated, and his mercilcss
opponent seized large plum pudding,
stealning hot, and holding it above his
head with both hands, seemed To bury
him beneath it. He quailed with ter
ror, and throwing down his cowhide,
turned about and made q rush for the
door. Stop for the pudding, colonel,
stop for the pudding" He did not es-
cape from the ridicule which the affair
occasioned. lie subsequently chal-
lenged four persons, against whom his
ire was particularly excited, and they
all consented to fight, but availing
themselves of the privilege OF the chal-
lenged party, appointed puddiug-bags
for their weapons. At length the un-
happy duelist, finding no one willing
to shoot or be shot at, was obliged to

The mild gentleman could only wave
. his head in va,cdiction as he entered
the haunted chamber. In n moment he
uttered a shrill cry, and rushed into the
lobby, his hair literally on end with
terror. aa

Driving Home the COWS.

out of the clover ana blge-eyed grass
He turned them into the rfver-lanc;
One after another lie let them pass,
Then fastened the meadow bars again.
Under the willows and over the hill,
lie patiently followed their sober pace;
The merry whistle for once was still, Z
And something shadowed the sunny face.
Only boy, his fatherhad said.
He never could let his Youngest go:
Two already were lying dead,
Under the feet OF the ,rampling foe.
And the frogs were loud in the meadow
swamp, ..." r. ..
OS er his shoulder he slung his gun
Aud dstealthily followed the foot-path damp.
Across the clover and through the wheat,
With resoluie heart and purpose grim,
Tho cold was the dew on his hurry ing feet,
And the blind bats fitting startled him.
Thrice since then had the lanes been white
And the orchards sweet with apple-bloom
And now when the COWS came back at night,
The feeble father drove them home.
For news had come to the lonely farm
That three were lying where two had lain
And the old mans trem ulous, pa!sied arm
Could never lean on sons again.
The summer day grew cold and latc,
He went for the cows when the work was
done;
But down the lane, as he opened the gate,
lie saw them coming one by one. ....
Brindlc, Ebony, SIcclIle and Bcss,
Shaking their horns in the evening wind
Cropping the butter-cups out OF tn" grass
But who was IL following close behind?
Loosely swung in the idle air
r. The empty sleeve of army blue;
Aud worn and pale, from the crisping hair,
Looked out u face that the father knew.
For southern prisons will sometimes yawn,
And yiclu their dead unto life again:
And the day that comes with q cloudy dawr
In golden glory ut last may wanc.
The great tears sprang to their meeting eyes
For The heart must speak when the lips ar,
dumb;
And under the silent evening skies
Together they followed the cattle home.

OF yindicatiug the treatment Of prison
ers of war, by the murder OF b!nck SOL
diers, the burning Of northern cities,
and finally, the assassination of the
President of the United States, and his
Cabinet. The preamble sets forth in
great detail the action of the United
States Government i'm declaring all
slaves in rebel districts free, and speaks
most bitterly of the proclamation Of
President Lincoln, denouncing ii as UNI
parallcled and iahuman. Then follows

OF the United States, aud the enlist

crai armies now opposed to us, are not
among the acts OF legitimate warfare
but are properly classed among such acts
as the right to put to death prisoners of
war without special cause. the right to
use poisoned weapons, and the right to
assassinate, and II persisted in. will JUS

WAGON ROAD. - The construction
train Of Col. j. Sawycrs, whose object ii
is to open wagon road from the mouth
OF the Niobrarn To Virginia City, will
start from this place in Il few days. AL
ready emigraDt teams are beginning to
make preparations to go through with
the construction train, and many more
will join the train before it leaves the
Missouri river. On Sunday last the
steamer j. III. Lacey passed this place
for Niobrara, having on board two com
panies of infantry, who are to act rs
military escort TO the train. A shorter
and better route to the mines than any
heretofore Travelled is now among the
certainties OF the future, and we may
soon look for large emigration to pass
this way. AS soon as the route is OPEN
ed, and its advantages become known,
the tide of emigration must 20 by this
route, as it possesses Superior adyant-
ages over any other, and is nearer by
several hundred miles. The Niobrara
route is bound TO become the popular

population would double in little more
than six years. We fear it can not CON
tinue in any such rates, az there are not
houses for the people, and they are not
being built. Two years ago we had
many vacant houses. Now all are full

Ave receive at this office thirteen
daily newspapers, aud from sixty 10
eighty weeEiics. From this vast lab
yrinth OF matter we select such articles,
items and titbits as comprise the misccl-
lany OF our columns. Each editor acts
upon this principle; hence, each indi-

II requires more talent TO make good Sc

which gave birth to Il foal some days
ago, having the ears and tail OF the hog,
The tail is short, small, slim and nearly
bare except II small tuft of hair ut the
end. 1t has no more name than a hog,
and its ears so far formed are of the ex-
act conformation OF those of the hog
Mr.. &. accounts for this freak in this
wise: Some months ago, ana during
the gestatory period, the mare ran into
drove Of hogs and became very much
excited and nervous. Several Of these
hogs had been 'dogged I" and had their
cars mutilated and torn off. The ears
on the colt appear exactly like the lacer-
ated ears OF the hogs
We learn that Mr. &. has been offered
