A HOME FOR THE NEGROES. "A correspondent
of the New York Times thinks that Mr.. Seward s
reiterated attempts to get foothold in the West
Indies are part of scheme for the acquisition OF
all the West India Islands, as future home for
the negroes of the Southern States. The great
bulk of the inhabitants of Cuba, St. Domingo, ia

Southern coast would make it an easy thing to
bring the migration or deportation Of the two OF
three millions of negroes located in the States Of
our Southern seaboard. The tropical climate and
luxurant soil of these sunny isles would suit them
exactly, and they have great advantagei in settling
down among their own race and nature. At the
same time, the South would be glad to get rid Of
dangerous and antagonistic element and the tear
of negro supremacy would pass away"

TEE BUFFALO COURIER says: "Tobaoco seen

THE BUFFALO COURIER says: Tobacco seems
to be of great in prisons, not only as substi-
tute, but also as q most useful aid to discipline.
With reference to this very curious development
has come out during a recent debate in the Aus
trian Chambers. Complains were made, as they
are made about our own prisons, that life in them
was getting somewhat too comfortable tor the
purpose. The Minister OF Justice, however, de-
fende the measures introduced for the alienation
of the hard lot CT the condemned criminals. Not
only the reading of newspapers, he said had prov
ed beneficial, but, and in much higher degree,
the introduction OF tobacco smoking" He said:
ST avow the truth OF the fact that the convcts are
now allowed snuff and pipes. Nay, am proud OF
having myself introduced it in several places; for
the permission to use snuff and smoke tobacco is
magic aid Of discipline. 1t simply acts like mira
Gle. The mere threat OF forbidding tobacco acts
instantaneously upon the most hardened culprlt.
No amount Of solitary confinement or hogging
comes in the remotest degree near it," For the
mast year or so tobacco has been issued to the
soldiers in our army, they drawing their rations
of plug as regularly as ratons OF bread, meat or
coffee. We should think 1t might also be used as
a disciplinarian in this case. There is probably
no habit that gives such control over man asthe
use of tobacco, particularly when chewed. We re-

train OF cars showed in for several days on

AN AFFAIR OF HoNoR.-The quiet preclncts OF
the Metairie Ridge, in the neighborhood OF the
Half WAY House, and which have become clsss-
ically bloody ground from the many hostile meet
ings that have taken place there, were again yes
terday morning, the scene Of a duel between two
gentlemen of this city-Mr. W., native creole,
and Mr. R., brother quill, Of French birth, and
well known here by his charming chronicles that
have appeared in one of the French weekhes. Inc
cause OF the rencounter was very slight and entire
ly of q personal character, no blows having been
exchanged. For some reason, however, 1t was
found mpracticabe to conciliate matters, and as
the sun rose, Sunday morning. the two antagonistst
with tneir respective seconds and surgeons, met
at the above mentioned place 70 settle tne umcuiIy
with duelling pistols.
The position in which the principals were placed
was unusual; two lines we're staked out parallel
with each other and Eve PAGES apart There were
three stakes in each line one at each end and one
in the middle. The two end stakes at each line
were twenty PAGES apart One principal was at
the south end OF this line the other at the north
Of his. When thus in position they were diagonally
opposite, and the conditions were that at the word
they were to fire as they stood, or in marching up
to the middle stake. The object Of this arrange
ment was humane one, rejecting great credit
| upon the seconds and made in order to prevent 8
shot being fired breast to breast. As the words
"Fire-one, two three" were. given, thrill oil
voIsnees was equaled only by the cool placidity OF
the combatants. First one step forward was made
BY one party, with forearm raised and aiming
at his antagonist, who stepped forward also
one step. second and third step were made by
the 6rst party, quickly followed by the other: A
pistol shot was heard, and ascertainei to be from
the first party who, believing that the second party
had fired also, retired one step after offering his
weapon to his second; but call from the opposite
seconds to "stand your ground, was answered by
a step forward to resume the original position by
the first party. Here, for few seconds, the an1;
ety was intense, and every heart beat at fearful
speed, as the second party advanced to the middle
stake, where with a comInendable courage and
noble impulee, raising his pistol overhead, he fired
in space; then crossing over the line he extended
his hand to his whilom enemy, who grasped it,
and acknowledged in feeling terms the generosity
Of his adversary p whose hands his life had rest
ed. The affair created no little excitement in the
city, and all interested have our hearty fongratqa;
tions upon its successful ISSUE for the first shot
proved to have missed its mark, and the parties
are Ill nov on the best terms OF friendship and
esteem.-Ne,o Orlsans Crescent, august 26.
