A BLOODY DUEL ON HoRsEBAcK.-The
Corpus Christi Advertiser has from a cor
respondent these particulars Of a bloody and
fatal atfray which took place Gu the west side
| of the river, above Oakville, on the 22d OF
August, between Henderson Williams and
Sic Brown, about some beeves that were turn
ed into herd against the wish of Williams.
The latter claimed authority over said beeves,
as partly his own and partly those for which
he held agencies.
Some angry words occurred at first, which
eliminated in the drawing Of weapons, which
were heavy dragoon six-shooters. Both par
ties being mounted, at each successive shot
they charged up closer to their dreadful work.
The firing rapid, and the combatants be-
come enveloped in the smoke of their weap-
ons, which Tapped together On the last round.
Browns firing was wild, owing, no doubt, TO
the fact that he received mortal center shot
from Williams first fire, although he sat on
his horse firmly, until shot the third time
through the body, eentering the heart, he fell
a corpse on the instant. Williams was IN
hurt, but his horse was shot through the
head, and was fractions and unruly during
the fight. Both parties had numbers of well
armed friends on the grouad, but no assist
ance or interference was offered and the issue
was fairly ard squarely tested.

| " THE GEscIAN BEND. As near as
we can make out from description:
which we have seen and read, the "Gre.
clan Bend " is simply the old fashion
" hustle of twenty-fv years ago, re.
vived, stuffed into bigger proportions
ard placed higher up. A female "bent''
in full accordance with the new style,
and otherwise fortified with the lately
introduced top gallant water fall must
look as much like a Bulgarian Zouave
as it is possible for lady TO appear
Here is what " Satanella " the Morning
Calls New York correspondent says of
this new fashion
Speaking Of women, the "opening day -
for the Fall fashions viii be next Tuesday,
and the sex is on the All rire already to as
certain what will be the novelties OF the
season. As the chignon is now larger than
ever, and has crcpt up very nearly to the
crown of the head, the hat, bonnet, or what
ever else We choose 70 call the tribe of lace
and ribbon that sits on the chignOn afore-
said. must still remain a diminutive thing.
1t cannotbe expanded. That is out of the
question. As to the dress, why, all that can
be said at present Is, that the panier is still
to be increased in size, and extended still
more around both hips, 50 as to make a con-
siderable projection all about the wearer, ex-
cept in front, where the dress is to fall in
and be made as plain and fiat as possible.
Ada the " Grocian Bind " to this costume,
and you have the " hight Of fashion," DeS-
pite all the ridicuie heaped upon it, despite
all the sncCrs, all the taunts, all the fun, the
caricatures in the pictorial sheets, ana the
ludicrous paragraphs in the Press generally,
the :" Grecian bend comes more and more
into favor. They call it the "gripas, ;" they
laugh at it as 1.-THE collie and yet the ton
go STOPPING over at an angle ofthirty degrees
as they walk, and mince their footsteps on
their toes, apparently looking for lost TX
pence on the ground ahead of them. This is
the Grecian bend 1t is most awkward,
most Ungraceful, most vulgar, most ahoIn
bah it IS also most fashionable.
Why refined, educated, fastidious women
should want to cultivate 50 hideous vulgar
ism, cannot imagine. Fashion orders It, |
and that's enough. Fashion says it is beau
,iful, and nobody dares to say. to her face, |
that it is not. Fashion SAYS it shall be the
prevailing thing, The stvle, the mark of ele- |
,ance ana taste, and it is Heaven save |
The mari, but one cannot help smiling at
The absurd figure a woman cuts with the
paniers behind, and stocp in front, as if |
hey had a severe cranp. But H'jmporte;
Fashion wills, and " Obey !! Is the word.

GENERAL BCELEE IN New IoRK.-The
New York Herald of September DIST gives
the following as portion Of the CONVERSE
ton held between its reporter and General
| Butler, who was at the time in New York:
Reportcr-What is your oninion, General,
of the prospects of the election
| General Butler-Ch, Grant and C0.tlx
doubt about that They will carry all the
States that Lincoln carried il 1861, except
perhaps New York, and the Democratic
nominations were made with a view to lust
such result. | know your New York poll
ticians very thoroughly. and | regard the
whole trick of Seymours nomination as de-
signed simply to secure the State Of New
York. That is more important to them
than the Presidency, and they would rather
see Seymour beaten than not, provided that
his name aids them to win the election III
this State. They know that the whole Re
publican party is bitterly opposed to Seq
mour and they would willingly trade him
off in order 10 carry in their State ticket.
The electoral ticket they care nothing for,
except as it NAV afford them capital to trade
off for votes for their State candidates. In
deed, New York leaders would not on any
account see Seymour elected. They are
after the State and local spoils, and would
not desire the election Of Democratic Pres
ident unless they could use him as they
pleased. You have some twenty-five mil
lions of local taxation here, and the hand
ling of that and the State patronage is worth
more to your Democratic leaders than all
the federal patronage they could secure.
Reporter-You think, then, that Seymour
has no chance of an election :
General Butler-Oh, not the slightest
and it is very well for him that he has not.
If it were possible that he could be elected
he wouldn be ninety days in the office.
The knife, the bullet or poison would re-
move him and make room for Blair. As
sassination has been introduced by the rebels |
into our political system, and they Will !
never hesitate now to avail themselves of it |
when their interests are at stake. Their |
first experiment in that line has been too |
great a success. With them the ties of
blood, affection or loyalty will no longer
avail to prevent the friends of the second in
power from removing the first out OF the
way when the opportunity offers. Nothing
but interest will stay the assassin's hand. l
should have fallen a victim in New Orleans
but for one thing-if they had murdered me
they would have had Phelps over them, and
that would have been jumping out Of the
frying pan into the fire. You may rest as
sured that if l had been elected Vice Presi
dent in 1864, in place of Andrew Johnson,
Lincoln would have been living
man to-day.

| CAMPAIGN "YARNs" NEATLY SUMMAR-
Iz-D.-The Nation of the Sd ult. gets off the
following piece of well merited sarcasm on
the stories which are banded about by both
political parties of the present day, touching
the private character Of the candidates for
| President and Vice President on the oppos-
ing ticket:
The only fresh campaign story about Grant
is that he stole Shetland pony, which his
son now rides, followed by two black grooms.
This is the tale as Pomeroy tells it; but we
cannot help feeling that he has suppressed
portion of it, and if the whole Of it were re-
vealcd, it would be found that the blacks are
eunuchs, and force every body they meet to
lie down on his face on the side of the road
till young Grant passes. About Blair, we
have to record that after his expulsion from
Yale he tried the University Of North Caro-
lima, from which he was also expelled; and
il was after this that he made his appear
ance at Princeton and cut eff the nose Of
fellow student. The way in which Colfa1
escapes the stories is something wonderful,
and proves his popularity to be almost I'M
precedented. The only charge brought
against him thus far is that Of having, in or
der to pay attention to another visitor who
sent in his card on a" silver waiter snubbed
4 soldier who had asked for an interview.
The soldier had been previously requested by
a pampered mental to deposit his card on
the same evidence Of wantCn luxury, but the
veteran, not having his card case about him,
refused to comply, and the snobbish Colfax,
disguised with his vulgarity, haughtily re-
fused to converse with him. This story Mr..
Colfax disposed of by peremptory denial,
and added that he had never owned silver
salver. Disheartened by the result of this
first attempt, the party troubadours have let
him severely alone.

UNION RALLY TONIGHT!

This is to remind our fellow-citizens
of the Union party that they will be ad-
dressed this evening at the TLeater by
Hon. Benz. Douglas oc Ohio-a gentle
man who comes among US with an en-
viable reputation as an orator and ad
vocate of the great principles Of Loyalty
and good government. Let us give him
n hearty welcome.

The daettantc of the bar and bench
smile, pitifully, when they read of this
higher law" and loll back for COM
fort and assurance into the arms of their
blind aud bloodless idol, the prurient
pride" known as the Goddess AstrGa.
But we can cite notable instance of a
decision of the Supreme Court which
gained all its force, all its logic, all that
gave it a base to stand upon simply
from an intelligent recognition of this
same "Law of necessity" We mean
the bred Scott Decision. Standing
where fancy stood, looking upon the
question of the conservation of Slavery
as an American institution as of the
very first political consequence, he
clutched the scope and gist of the whole
question at issue and maintained what
the great necessity of the Slavery ques-
ton demanded when he boldly declared
that radical but wholly infamous dog
ma, the purport of which is that " a
negro has no rights not being an in
tegral part of this fabric of government
We say that standing where fancy did
stand, governed By a sense of fealty to
Slavery, intent upon establishing law
which should give security to what be
deemed the most important interest in
the country, he did right in promu!ga-
ting that decision. AID if the law of
necessity light rlgLtfully and logically
be invoked ia favor of that damned
thing, Slavery, why may not that first
and best of laws be invoked now in Or
der to cut off one of the dangers by |
which our commonwealth is beset. Ifl
The oath is an unconstitutional as
severation of " State Rights" in face
Of a Presidents Proclamation, we as
;ert that the :" word white" is a still !
more fragrant violation of the constitu-
:ional exercise of State Rights because
t flies in the face of a solemn enactment
IF Congress-the Civil Rights Act. Let
)ur Corrts-tlose Of them which exist
because of their members having OBJ
ainc i nominations upon partizan tickets
encourage the continued loyalty of
his people by giving forth some evil
lence, by the tenor Of their opinions
hat there is no law which admits of
State committing suicide, no straining of
! point which gives loyalty over to
and treason to the sheItering
comforts of the Constitution.

In extending this notice, allow me, as the
retiring Chairman, to urge a full aitendar CO on
the rnrt Of the brethren composing the several
circles. The great spiritual benefit experienced
ny nll who have enjoyed the narrower influence
of the village or ncighborhocd circle, cannot
but recommend to them the Convention, which
but untcs all the parts INTO one whole, and
thus enhances the interest, by widening the
sphere of Christian fellowship
The good We hope to accomplish by this en-
td'9ed 'Circlo," is to bind together differcn,
communities of Christians in the saue bond

TIE GERMANS AND TIE So,r,, p.,
h"ps the most encouraging sigu for onr
future is to be found III the fact ,ha, the
Germans seem at last thoroughly aroused
to the adyaatages presented by the South
to the Thrifty and Industrious IMMIGRANT:
We geo it stated that Reuben GolJins.
Esq, OF Stokes County, North Csroliua

with about one thousand two buuJraa
acres Of land attached, to a comnanv of
German capitalists, who in,erd brin,;ny :.

pauy, with capital of $3.50, 600 for
starting d German colony in Eloiida. 1t
is expected that twenty thousand North
Germans can be directed thi,her in tile
course Of two years, which would make
tho speculation au exceedingly successful
one. The Germans in Texas are over
sixty thousand in number, and it is os,i.
mated That at lehst three fourths of them
are engaged in agricultural pursuits. Care.
