ID" who has been wr'''"a 'o'
interesting "reminiscences Tor 'he
Franklin, KY. P,tr'ot, contributes
this to the last Issue:
Is.w some time ago a brace OF du-
cling pistols, in the possession OF lho"-
as Rutherford, of Sumner. county
Tenuessce.-They were steel barrels
autsd within, and highly ornamenteu
with silver. a..
The history received of them was
as follows: -.
Many years. before the brilliant
trinmphs of the war had lifted Gen:
ersl jackson high above all'compeo'-
TORS into the Presidential chair as
. Chief Executive of the nation, it was
his custom to have some one to take
his plsce in the dirty street bro''s
which might come up. -
At the tune to. which. I refer, one
Tursnson Was the ma"--s regular
knock dowu-and, ,dras.o"t sort OF a
fellow dreaded by Al who were so
FORTUNATE us to coue in contact with
him.
An uncle Of Colonel Rutherford,
ly ii. SANE uame, visited Nashville
20 sell fine pair Of match horses
Ferguson offered to purchase them
ON a short credit and to give General
Jackson as security. This arrange
,ocu, WAS made and the horses were
his. s..
Before Mr.. r. left Nashville he
learned tue character of the man
with whom he had traded, was told
that If he ever asked for the money
or the note Which he had received Tor
the horses Furgusou would whip him.
1t happened that Rutherford was a
rough misunderstanding suited him
better than g-onnd scufile in de-
tense Of his rights, and SO he was im-
patient for the day Of the coming con-
lict.
Early on the morning the note fell
due Rutherford visited Nashville, SAW
the man F., presented his note for
payuieut, telling Lim at the same time
what he had heard of him, aud further
said to Kim that if. he didu't pay the
tn. money right away, Ae would
thrash him like a dog. ~' -,
A word and the blow followed.
Never vas a man more. soundiy
thrasbed than Turguson was on that
occasion; in fact; he was supposed
to be dead for time.-This aroused
the Generals sympatlies for uis man
who had received such a cudselins,
and to resent it WAS his first impulse,
but in fsticuf he would be only a
child in Rs. hands, and so challenged
him to fight duel next morning
distance ten PAGES.
Though R. had no experience with
fire arms he instantly accepted the
challenge.
Atthe appointed hour all parties
were at the place Of rendezvous. All
1reliminaries, made the distance
measured, the positions taken, the
words one--two-at this juncturs
Jackson, who was a dead shot, having
eyed his antagonist closely, saw there
was no Hinchingin him, but that he
was az cool and deliberate as il moth
ing had occurred, stepped forward and
addressed Rutherford: "By the eter-
nal, sir. l would despse myself tc

than a third of the whole vote cast.
For the next Congress LADow, Dem

thus: Senate, 10 Democrats, 10 Repub.

90 Democrats, l6 Republicans, and @

the forerunner of similar results in all

My Son, Thou Art My Hearts
. Delight.

THE following beautiful and touching
lines were written by Daniel Webster, on
the death of his son Charles;
My son, thou vast my hearts delight;
Thy morn Of life was gay and CHEEKY.
That morn has rushed to sudden night,
Thy tatAer's house is sad and dIeary.
Thold thee on my knee, my soni
And kissed thee laughing, kissed thee
Weeping: -
But ah! thy little day is done
Thourt with thy angel sister sleeping.
The staff on which my years should
lean
Is broken ere those years come DER me;
My funeral rites thou should'st have seen
But thou art in the tomb before me.
Thou fearst to me no tilial stone.
No parents grave with tears behold
est;
Thou art my ancestor, my soni
And stand st in Heavens account the
oldest.
On earth my lot was soonest cast,
Thy generation after mine,
Thou hast thy predecessor past;
Earlier eternity is thine.
should have set before thine eyes
The road to Heaven and showed it
clear;
But thou, untaught ,spring'st to the skies.
And leay'st thy teacher lingering here.
Sweet seraph, would learn of thee,
And hasten to partake thy bliss!
And OIL to thy world welcome me,
As FIRST welcomed thee to this.
Dear Angel, thou art safe in Heaven;
No prayers for thee need more bs
made.
Oh! let thy prayers for those he given:
Who oft have blessed thy infant head.
by father! behold thee born,
And led thy tottering steps with care:
Before ME risen to Heavens bright morn
My SOD! my fathcI guide me there.

sional nominations. An essential
prerequisite of success, next fall, is
that no one who either voted for or
poeketed the salary grab, should be
renominated. The people will not
sustain such an one by their votes.

Mr.. TILroN should have said more
or he should have continued to hold
his tongue. What does the omitted
part of this paper signed by Mr..

had BEEcHER done that TlLToN
could forgive? How would the cne
have been better man in the same
circumstances than the other? Why
does Mr.. BEEcHER wish, that he were
dead? And was this document really
written by Mr.. BEEcnER with his
name signed to it by his own hand?
These questions suggest themselves
to every mind. The end of this

reached. Mr.. BEEcuER must now
