That BIadensbars Duel.

The CAroRiele, which paper ia hypere-itical
IN its comments on the supposed mistakes
OF ITS contemporaries. this morning con-
tsins an account OF duel ny ex-army Off
eers on the historic held of Bladensourg,
which, as work OF fiction, does credit
to the invention OF the writer; but as state
meDt of facts is decided failure. The parties
to the duel name in the CAroniele are: " Prin-
cipals-Capt. Garrettson, who acted as assist ant
qusrtermsster siHce the commencement Of the
war in different parts OF the country, aud
cavalry. Seeonds-Major Bayard, late OF the
9Th cavalry, brother of the general OF th at name
Doyle, late of the 10th cavalry"
i We have had the pleasure Of an intervie v
with the two princi pals and one OF the seconds,
VINO are All warm personal friends, and never
had Guilty In their lives, who, tate that the
ChyonisIe article would be true if it was not i'm
correct in the following impor tant particulars !:
The omcers named never we're at Fort Fetter-
man; they never had any bitterness there; they
did not meet again at st. Louis; they showed no
bad blood at st. Louis; they did not meet in the
bar room Of the National Hotel, in this city on
Monday evening, by accident or other wise;
the feud was not renewed there; there never
was any feud; NO tumblers were thrown; no
friends interfered; no challenge was sent; no
challenge was accepted; 10 deadly enco Inter
pistols were fired; and nobody hurt.
SO far from there being any "onpleasantneSs''
between the sO-called principals, they were in
led together when the paper was brought 70
their deadly encounter"
