In Ford's History of Illinois, he states
that the year 1920 was sgnalized by the first
and last duel which was ever fought in that
State. 1t took place in Belleville, ST. Clair
county, between Alp. Stewart, who was in the
secret, but Bennett, his adversary, was left to
believe it q reality. They were to fight with
rifles; the guns we're loaded with blank car
trldges; and Bennett, somewhat suspectng a
trick, rolled ball into his gun, without the
knowledge of his seconds, or of the other par
ty. The word to fire was given, and Stewart
fell MORALLY wounded. Bennett made his
escape, but tive years afterward be was arrest.
ed in Arkansas, brought back to the State,
indicted, tried, and convicted of murder.
A great effort was made to procure his par
don, but Gov. Bond would yield to no entrea
ties in his favor; and Bennett suffered the
penalty Of the law by hanging in the presence
of great multitude of people. This was the
first and last duel fought in the State by any
of its citizens. The hanging of Bennett made
duelling discreditable and unpopular, and
laid the foundation tor that abhorrenc of the
practice which has ever since been felt and
expressed by the people of Illinois. The late
Judge Lockwood was then the Attorney
General of the State, and prosecuted in this
case. To his talent and success as prosecu-
tor the people are indebted for this early pre-
cedent and example, which did more than ia
generally nnown to prevent the barbarous
practice of duclling from being introduced in
Illinois.

Cholera accidents ~ Naples.
Aletssr from Nsples, dated Ncvember 9Th

says:
Everything is dreadfully gloomy here. Ma
ples and Rome are like the English watering
places, they depend much on the strangers
who crowd to both every winter; this year
there is not q creature to be seen. The rich
Nespolitans are all staying in their villsa, or
have gone to Florence or Switzerland. There
is not q single English family; al the great
hotels are shut up, and the trsdespsopae are m
despair. The poercorsl shops have prepared
in vain their beautiful ornamentin coral, lava
and tortoise shell; there il not one to buy
them. Az We drive about the solitary por-
tiers at the large hotels glare at US as if they
would like TO haul rs in by main force. We
are staying at a comfortable, clean hotel, the
best drained believe, in this place of bad
drainage. We have been here often before,
and we are the only people here now except
the prima donna and first tenor of the great
opera Of San Carlo They have apartments
near us, and we occasionally here the shakes
and runs practiced that are to sstonish the
audience in the evening.
If things had been more cheerful we should
have gone to the opera, but every day the
cases increase, and consequently the panic.
We saw poor man when we wefe driving
yesterday seized in the street with cholera,
was raining, and he lay on the ground with q
policeman beside him until he could be taken
to the hospital. The people looked pale and
terrified, and many were crossing themselves
They are SO ignorant that they believe the
people are poisoned, that the water and food
are poisoned, and will scarcely go TO the hos
pitfalls, or take the medicines. They think
the things used for disinfecting purposes are
intended to poison hepeople, and the doctors
are sometimes in danger from the ignorant
lower class.
When one sees the places the people live in,
and the sort of things they are constantly
eating raw vegetables-you al
most wonder that any of them escape. Many
are quite reckless, and go on eating quantities
of the things which the Government has con-
demned, saying, ''that is better, if they must
die, to die with full stomach, but it is not
a pleasant subject, and We talk and try to
think of it as little as possible. The worst
Of it all, as far as we are concerned, is the
difficulty of getting away to any other place
on account of the quarantine. 1t 10 impossi-
Bile to obtain any Trustworthy information as
there are no travellers or visitors of any kind :
almost all'the steamers have ceased TO touch
Naples, as there are no passengers.

In view of the fact Of the sparseness of
the white population in the seeded slave
States and the large proportion of that
population which cannot be implicitly re-
lied on by reason of their active connec-
ton with the rebellion, the question
necessarily arises, to whose hands, on re-
construction, the popular government of
those States is to be intrusted, in order
to secure the national peace and safety.
That question must be considered ere
long. In South Carolina especially,
where the chivalry Were in minority,
and so generally traitors, it is q problem
what use to make of it in restored
Union.

Of whom he makes breastwork, in true
military style, from which to attack Off
GERS at this Post-who he means, we do
not know. 1t is not fact that white
men are forbidden to trade at Mitchell
vile or the colored people at Hilton
Head. They are here by hundreds every
day, and several stores are kept by white
men at Mitchelville.
And where are "the freedmen who by
profitable investments have laid up twen-
to or thirty thousand dollars? We saw
statement recently that Robert Small
was worth thirty thousand dollars. We
asked him to-day about it. He gays sit
is no such thing" The chief part of all
he owns is the amount paid him as his
share Of the prize moneyo of the "Plan-
ter "--only fifteen hundred dollars, and
he is now Captain of that steamer on q
salary of one hundred dollars per month.
Nor can Robert tell us Of single freed
man (and he should be well acquainted
with the most of them in this Depart
ment) who is better off than himself
The Colonel should be careful when
rounding his periods, pointing his morals
or. adorning his tales, to state facts, else
the cause which he, in common with all
philanthropists, has SO much at heart,
will suffer.
We confess that, for our own part. we
cannot see how the inevitable laws, which
always have and always will govern capt.
tai and Lbor- can be set asid. in the case
of the negroes any more than in that of
other communities Of poor, ignorant ami
degraded people. 1t seems t. US that the
cost to government of these experiments
(and they are certainly nothing else) will
be enormous and grevious to be borne in
the present condition of the finances OF
the country. Will not private capital
soon control this matter and direct the
lal or Of the freedmen to profitable re-
sult-proftable alike to them and to the
country?
In the meantime, and until this great
question is fully, fsirly, t'mHully dis
cusscd BY the nation and settled By leg
islation, we consiler the Government
guardianship, now being so kindly ex-
tended to the freed people, to be the
wisest and best protection that can be
afforded them.
Never before have we meddled with
this question in our columns. But the
war is now drawing to close. Private
enterprise, if properly fostered By Gov.
ernment, will soon open work in this
section for thousands of laborers. They
are here, and unless poisoned by false
ideas of "liberty and equllity' can be
made of inestimable service not only tc
themselves but to the whole country
The subject pres ies too close upon us tc
neglect it longer.

not asking too much Of men to pull those
ponderous eagiaes through the ssreets on
the double quick, aud then stand BY the
brakes as though their lives we're at stake !:
and for what? To save property from
destruction in which they have no inter-
est? All of our large Eastern towns aie in.
Producing steam FIRE engines into their de-
partments. Ought not some move to be
made BY which We can have the sam.
here? Where are the Insurance Agents!
Are they not interested in thisf au
satisfied that if they would start this mat
ter on liberal basis, our citizsns would
respond in like manner. We have as good
hremen as any city can boast OF. They
are always ready. Shall they not have
the best of apparatus? Economy demand,
that they should. Now. gentlemen, viii
you lay this matter before your readers
