DUEL PREVENTED.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2l.-Col. Mosby has been
arrested because Of an apprehended duel be-
tween him and Capt. Payne. He was released on
$4,000 bail-Col. John S. Barbour being bonds
man.
In a political discussion in Loudon county,
Virginia, few days since, difficulty arose be-
| tween Capt A. D. Payne and Col. Mosby.
This led to challenge from Mosby to Payne,
which was borne by james s. Barbour. Judge
Keith understanding that the Paynes and Bar
bour i'll consultation, and knowing the ami
mostly between them ordered the arrest of Gen.
W. H. Payne, cousin OF Capt Payne, Judge Thos.
Smith and Barbour.
Mosby left Warrenton and came to Washington
by the cars, to avoid the acceptance of the chal-
lenge. Capt. Payne also left
Mr.. Barbour having been arrested by the order
OF Judge Keith, the acceptance was brought to
Washington by another party. After Col Mos
bys arrival, he went to the house of John Bar
bour, and remained sometime, then went to the
East Capitol Park where he was in consultation
with Mr.. Barbour and some other friends for
some time, when they went to Sandersons for
detectives
The challenge which Mosby sent Payne was
accepted and the meeting appointed at Buck
land, Prince William county, Va, this morning,
the weapons to be rifles, and the distance forty
PAGES. Immediately upon Col. MOsby arrest he
was taken to the residence of Judge Dawson of
the Police Court, and gave'bail in $4,000 for his
appearance this morning, and gave bail in the
sum above named to await requisitien from the
Governor OF Virginia or to appear before Judge
Keith, at WaIrenton, and enter recognizance
there. 1t is not known here where Capt. Payne
is. Col Mosby leaves for Warrenton in the
morning. This is regarded as the end OF the
matter.
Warrenton says Capt Payne and his seconds
were on the ground at noon to-day, to meet Col.
Mosby, near auckland, Prince William County
but the latter failed to put III an appearance.

AFTER THE INDIASs.-Thcre are two very
important Indian expeditions now on foot,
which, if less sensational than that of Gen.
Custer, will be certainly productive OF more
important results. Col Miles has set out
with the 9th Cavalry and 9TH Infantry, from
Fort Dodge for Camp Supply. There he will
be joined by the 10th Cavalry (colored), with
whom he will proceed to Antelope Mound,
and strike into the Staked Plains, in search of
the insurgent Kiowas, Cheyennes and Co
$500, camped there. Meanwhile, the 4th and
5th Cavalry are sweeping up from Texas, and
across from New Mexico, towards the same
objective point and thus some $500 soldiers
will be brought against the savages who have
recently been committing such outrages
along the Canadian and Cimarron rivers.
Capt. Mills and the Sd Cavalry are at Raw
iings, about to undertake a three months
scout up through the Powder, Big Horn and
Sweetwater valleys, the very stronghold of the
lighting Sioux.
The insurance companies still look with
great aversion upon Chicago and the panic
on the subject Of fire in that city has in no
wise ceased. Every Chicago mail brings an
nonncements Of companies that have entirely
withdrawn from Chicago business, or greatly
restricted it, or else advanced rates. Some
agents are instructed not to take any new
risks and others to advance rates fifty per
cent Cancellation of policies are frequent
The panic has even extended to the English
companies having agencies there. and cable
kilograms from London and Liverpool an
nounee instructions to advance rates. restrict
lines Of business, and exercise rigid scrutiny
All this is very bad for Chicago, and will
probably hamper to some extent the marvel
lous energy her people display. But If it
tends to temper that energy with wisdom it
will do good.

review statements of Beecher, in contrast with

Very few American families, says the Sat-
urday Reuieu, retain for any length OF time "a
high political position. Ii We were to seek
the representatives of those who bore chief
part in the revolution, We might find them,
no doubt, despite the breaking up of estates
and tn rapid dissipation even of he largest
fortunes, among the social aristocracy of the
older States; but, except in the South, the very
fact of their hereditary reputation tends to
bar rather than to smooth their way to pub
lie career OF the great names belonging to
the first generation of Federal statesmen and
soldiers in the Northern States, there is but
one that has been constantly represented
in the public life OF Anne lea, or whose
bearers are at this moment known beyond
their own country. or known there as public
men. Randolph or Randall is still an honored
name in Virginia, and The family Of Washing
ton, as well as that OF one of his most di tin
guished lieutenants, was represented in the
second struggle tor independence by the fore
most of the Virginian gentry and the greatest
OF Confederate soldiers while not few OF
the best names in Georgia and the Caro'nas
figure equally in both the great wars in which
their States have been engaged. But in New
England the one family which has held dis
tinguished pl ce in public life through three
generations is that OF Adams, represented in
former times by TWO of the most eminent, if
not most popular, Presidents, and in our own
by the foremost Of Americ n diplomatists, and
more than one of the most respected citizens
Of Massachusetts.
