Duel in ~. jaime. Parish. La.

The New Orleans Republican of the
Goth has the following about the late
duel in st. James parish La, referred
to briefly 10y the associatedpress report
the other day:
News from the parish of st. James
confirms the truth of the report of the
double homicide of DIR. Charles GRAY
and Mr.. ID. J. Richard. The affair
grew out of words uttered by DIR. Gray
In relation to the courage of Mr..
Richard and Mr.. johnson, between
whom challenge had passed. These
parties were arrested, and DR.. GRAY
freely asserted that both was towards,
would not fight, and had themselves
caused the arrest to prevent the duel.
Mr.. Richard, regarding the remarks as
directed more particularly 10 himself,
challenged DIR. Gray, who, at first, re-
fused to meet him. Mr.. Richard, in q
poster, containing many opprobious
epithets, denounced DIR. Gray, and this
brought about the fatal meeting.
The weapons were Smith 4 Wesson
reyolyers, and the seconds Mr.. j. II.
Gallup TOR DR.. Gray, aud Felix Poche
for Mr.. Richard. Shots were twice ex-
changed without injury, but at the
third firing Dr. Gray was shot through
the heart and lied instantly. Mr..
Richard was'wounded just beneath the
heart, and lived only n short time.
There Is much excitement In the
parish over the matter, but the feeling
Il chiefly against the seconds. DR..
Gray had acquired the esteem Of the

RADICAL THREATS.

The northern radical papers repre-
sent that the negro is childlike and
bland; that he Is the patient victim Of
southern feroclty, and that when he is
struck on one cheek he turns the other
to his prosecutor with ~ meelSncss that
would rival the meekness of Moses.
This Is the idea that Is continually be-
Ing poured into the northern ear. The
New Orleans Republican has Il differ
ent notion nbout IL. II thinks the
negroes can whip the whites, aud that
they will do so II the occasion presents
itself. Here is what II says;
The republican party is just, and the
negroes are patient aud long suffering
under wrong. Yet they may at last be
goaded to desperation, and forced to
turn on their pursuers. In that event,
there would he anything but child's
play for time, as it would be. found
that the negroes can fight as well as
work. They would undoubtedly have
the endurance, muscle and activity on
their side, aud desperation viii give

[FroIp Tue a ustln Statesman.

From the Austin Statesmen.
We briefly glanced, yesterday after
noon, at the Austin association, In SEES
sion In the Baptist church of Austin.
Ihe impression upon the spectator on
taking his seat, could not but be that
he WINS In the presence OF body OF Sc
ri0us, solid aud earnest men In the
great cause which engaged their DELHI
erations. The moderator, Mr., Moses,
from near Liberty Hill, aud the secre-
tary, Mr.. Mays, from Round Rock,
We're happily chosen for their positions.
Perfect order and dtcorum reigned.
The subject of Sabbath schools wasun-
der discussion, and zealously urged.
The system Of union Sabbath schools,
as teaching holiness, the main Baptist
doctrine, was advocated and recon-
mended
Quite an animated discussion sprung
up on II motion to sustain the Texas
Baptist Herald, rs there was also an
other Baptist paper In Texas, aud
some desired both papers to be put on
the same footing. Some of the ablest
speakers present, among whom was
Rev. Mr.. Burroughs, of Lampassas,
thought the Herald second to no paper
In the United States, and that II had
risen from the feeblest beginning to Its
present commanding position by dlnt
of merit and indetatigable industry.
The other organ was not ignored, hut
the Herald carried the day by large
majority.
Reports and resolutions were adopt
ed in behalf of Sabbath school domes-
tic missionary operations, and Of the
general interests Of the great common
cause of christianity. Not being able
to stay but short time, We can only
report specimen of the important
work done by the association. The
speakers would compare favorably
with those of any assembly, either CIV
II or religious. There nre some fifty or
sixty delegates in attendance, and
their proceedings will, no doubt, re-
dound very greatly to the progress and
up-building of true, practical Goodness
in the land, than which no enterprise
is more worthy OF hearty praise. The
times and the sad prevalence of crime
call aloud to good men to lift up their

Mischief In the Air.

We cannot analyze the poisons that pro-
duce epidemic and endemic diseases; but the
valuable discoveries which have been made
in vegetable pharmacy enable us to coun-

botanical medicine, in which the finest an

of the vegetable kingdom are skillfully and
effectively combined. AT seasons OF tho year
when the atmosphere is surcharged with
miasma, and whenever the specific virus Of
any infectious disease is supposed to be pres

be taken regularly as a protective. All who
choose to observe this precaution may bid
defiance to intermittent and remtttent ie-
