AN AFFAIR OF HONOR.
The ssCoder In GeOraia-One of the ChivaIr
Killed In Duel.

The ''Cede" In Gsorsia-One Of the ChivaIry
The Savannah Republican of the Goth instant
says
Thursday evening, judging from the move
ments of several young gentlemen of this city,
we were led to believe that duel was on the
tapis Alter satisfying ourselves that such was
really the cause of the movements noticed, we
quietly awaited further development OF facts
for we well knew that If the parties ever met on
the field there would certainly be bloodshed
Captain Richard f. Aiken and Mr.. Ludlow
Cohen were the principals. Their respective
friends having arranged all the preliminaries,
the two parties met at DIR. Relds plantation,
about five miles from tie city, on the Augusta
road, yesterday morning, at an early hour
When called up, both took their positions on
the field promptly, and everything was in readi-
ness for the fatal combat.
They fred five times, and at the fifth shot
young Ludlow Cohen fell. The terrible mes
senger of 0eath struck him in the right side just
below the ribs. The duel was fought at twelve
PAGES with regular duelling pistols.
Doctors Charlton and Duncan went to him as
soon as he fell, and saw at once that he was Sc
verely wounded. He was placed In carriage
and brought to the residence of Mrs. Hertz in
this city, where he fingered until quarter to
three 2. NJ, when death relieved him OF his
agony.
AS regards the right and wrong of this fatal
affray, we are not prepared to Judge, but the
difficulty arose from remark made by Mr..
Cohen which Captain Aiken considered Often
siye, and sent him a peremptory challange,
which was promptly accepted. The fatal result
we have already told.
coroner's inquest was held over the body
Yesterday. 1T the conclusion of the evidence,
the following verdict was agreed upOn:-
We, the jury, find that the deceased, Ludlow
Cohen. came to his death Oy gunshot wound
received from the hands of Richard f. Aiken,
whilst fighting duel contrary to the laws OF
Georgia.
At late hour last night it was rumored that
warrants had been issued for the arrest of the
party connected with this unfortunate affair, but
we could not trace it to any reliable source.
We understand that Mr.. Cohen was insured In
the Piedmont and Arlington Life Insurance
Company for five thousand dollars, and that the
polcy will be paid.

LONDON, Aug. 24.--It is reported in London

Metz is isolated.
MacMahon has not gone to reinforce Bazaine.

since last Saturday, except that the Crown

The Reported Isolation of Metz Confirmed
Paris kilograms just received here declare that
Metz is certainly isolated, that the Prussiaus
have cut off communications between Thion-

Bazaine are in daily communication, and that
no mediation is likely to succeed unless Napoleon
takes the initiative.
Contradictory Stories.

it is only the "army of Chalons," regularly To-

the latter still keeps all his lines intact.
