A Terrible Duel.

few years sinco az New-Enghnd
gentleman, whose namo we shall call Brown.
was passing fow days In ono Of our west
ern cities, ho had tho misfortune, unintcn.
tionally, 10 offend tho susceptible honor OF
a tall Militia Colonel, who was ono of his fol-
low bo&dcrs. Ills apologies not being
satisfactory, chellonge was sent to him,
which, however, no declined, from oonsoi-
entious scruplos. Tho ColC,vi Who by tho
way, had won in two OF three encounters
quito reputation as dueiist, at once con-
coived that his opponent was coward
and resolved TO disgrace him In the faooof
all tho assembled wisdom Of tho house.
Accordingly tho next day, at dinnor-time,
in marched tho duolist, armed with cow
hide, and advancing Go Browns chair, pro-
eeeded to dust his Jacket in the most APP
proved stylo. Brown was aBtonished.
Luckily no had been lieutenant OF militia
in his native State, and he knew tho impoI-
TANGO of inaccomodating his onemy by a
diversion. SO soizing gravy turreen, he
tossed tho contents into tho face ot tho be-
ligoront Colonel, and before he could ro-
| cover from the drowning sensation thus
occasoned, ho sprang upon the table, and
| began to shower upon him, with liberal
hand tho contents of tho dishes around.
"You are an infcrnal----"
"Coward !" tho Colonel was about 20
say, but at that moment a plate of greens
struck full upon his mouth, aud the wCrd
was bloekadcd, lost forever.
"IIa," cried tho New Englander, whose
blood was now up, "fond of greons are
your Take q potato too :" and ho hur,ela
telling voloy Of hard potatoes at him."
Excellent oggs here, capital with calves
head, and crash camo plato OF seft boiled
eggs against the side Of his Uranium.
The blowsof tho eowhido, which had
hitherto descended uponthe Yankees head
and shoulders, now began to fall moro
weakly and wildly, and II became evident
| that the asBailant, half stunned, choked, and
partially blinded, was getting tho worst Of
| It. His courage was oozing out.
| "Take tnrkey2 shouted Brown as
noble old gobbler descended fairly upon the
ColonOl's hoad, and bursting, filled his hair
and eyes with delicious looking siuffing.
" Here's the fringes," he continued; as the
squash and jolly followed after,
| BY this time tho Colonel was irTetrievn.
| bly, defeated, and his merciless opponent
seized a hugo plum pudding, steamirg hot.
aud holding il above his head with both
both hands seemed TO bury him beneath 1t.
| Ito quailed with terror, and throwing
iown his cowhidc, mado o rush tor tho
| door.
"Stop for tho pudding, Colonel, stop for
tho pudding" lie did not escape from the
| ridicule tho affair occasioned. He subse-
quently challenged four persons against
whom ho was particularly excited, and
thoy all consented TO fight, but availing
themselves of the privilege of the chal-
lenged party, appointed pudding bags, for
their weapons. At length tho unhappy
duelist, iiuding no ono willing TO shoot or
to DO shot at, was Obliged to quit tho State.

CcneraI sCOtt,s FIRST Hattie.

One Of the young hero's earlier school
nlasters-James ilargrove-a Quaker, In.
bored hard to curb ths passions and mould
tho character OF young Scott to usefulness
and virtue. This excellent man was OF
small stature, and greatly esteemed by his
pupils. Ono day when the latter was about
eighteen years old. he chanood 10 ace, at q
public gathering, his master undergoing
severe handling by a hall drunken bully.
on o charge Of having run faise diyision
line, as county land surveyor. The
Quaker acted as a consistent noncombat-
ant, and his assailant bad il all his own
way till young Scott came up, and, by
single blow, brought him 70 the ground,
stunned and nearly Bobcred. The fellow
being allowed to riso now ads anced upon
the STRIPPING, and tho Quaker, true 10 hia
principles, jumped between tho combat,
ants. Finding his friend tho moro beligeF-
cnt party, he siezed and 50 cpeumbeTod
him that the bully partially hit him several
times, when by alNldeR movementi tho
Quaker was ihGown OF. and tho bully again
iloOred Tho noise cNusod rush by the
crowd 10 the spot, aud whom Tie original
cowardiy act became known, the bystaBd-
ers we're 30 indignant that the Quaker and
bis pupil had to exert their greatest Efforts
to save tho bully fron further puniahment,
and perhaps death. When the mastor and
pupil mot again soRe timo afterward, the
former exproRssd hia congratulations in ret
erenCe TO tho affair, in true Quaker style;
Friend Winfield, always taught thee not
TO fight; hut az thou Youldst fight, ! am
glad thou werD't beaten"

ASt. Louis correspondent of the New York
Tribune says: a
The class more Immediately affected by the
new Constitution, and now in great distress
about its adoption, are the secesh clergymen.
who are required to take the oath that they
have neither borne arms, or aided or sympa-,
thized with the rebellion. Of course hum
dreds OF them cannot do it without palpable
perjury, and here is where the shoe pinches.
They would gladly, majority of them, take
an oath OF allegiance to JEFF. Davis; but as
they haven't the opportunity, they must, per-
force, commit perjury or quit preaching in
Missouri. The way CT the transgressor is
hard, and they are now Illustrating the truth
ofthat text There appears to be a division
of sentiment among Their number as to what
is the best course to pursue. Their advocates
have set up the cry that the proposed oath is
unconstitutional, although it is part of the
Constitution itself. A few are willing to abb
stain from preaching until the matter is set
tied. But how to settle it, is the question.
The new Supreme Court promises no relief,
as the judges are claimed to be the creatures of
arbitrary power. Turn which way they will
and there is no promise of redress. The pro-
liability is, the selEconvicted preachers win
have to abandon the pulpits, butwhat will be-
come of the Catholic priests remains to be
seen. NyE ~ tffg 8ni 10
We believe it is fact that secesh clergymen
and secesh women are the most bitter in their
of Yankees, of any class in the South.
They even seem determined to fight it out in
behalf of human bondage to the "bitter end"
We heard the Chaplain Of the LIST Maine Cav
airy relate an incident which fully illustrates
the point so far as secesh women are con-
cerned. In the vicinity of Fredericksburg
some Union officers were at dinner in a house
principally occupied by females, who received
rations from our Government. One of the
women was exceedingly outspoken and full of
spite against the Yankees, berating them with
voluable tongue, and showing her hatred of
the North.
An Union officer could bear it no longer in
silence, and leaning back from the table and
looking this laxative creature full in the face,
said, with an emphasis that showed how deep
ly he felt the insult: MADAME, it seems to
me you might find some trouble in uttering
such ISLANDERS against the Yankees when your
mouth is full Of vietuals given you by the Fed
eral Government" ~ a i.
She was nonplussed for moment, but soon
recovered, and, like Lady Gay Spanker, she
said in her heart: Nothing stops me-"
The women are terrible down South, as the
older expressed it.
