CORY FIELD OF BLADEySRURG.
A Duel Which Did Not Come or
MI. Campbell Carringtou Fails to
Meet MI John y. YOunR.

The newspaper controversy between Mr.
John Z. Young, of the Washin gton Chronicle
and Mr.. Campbell Darlington, late assistant
Dfstrfct attorney, Is no doubt fresh In the
minds OF our readers. It's latest outcropping
was a card from the latter gentleman in the
capital OF last Sunday, in which he stated
that Mr.. Young declined his (Carrington's)
de mand for satisfaction" because he
(lOuDg) was "non-combatant" closing his
card with the words "this local editor, in
the Chronicle, should be sitting in the ALBANY
penitentiary making shOes.n
When Young read this, 1t seems he made
up ms mlna TO accommodate young Car
oPPoRTUNIrY FOR "sATIsFAcTIoN,"
and accordingly, (having previously COM
municated Win Darlington to be ready to
hear from biml, he yesterday. in company
with Clarence Barton, of the Chronicle and a
surgeon employed in one of the executive
departments, went to the bloody field of Bla-
densDurg. The party took with them a case
OF duelling pistols, and the necessary para
phernalia for an old time duel. Before start
ing Young arranged with friend in this
city TO await message which he would send
MN by telegraph and deliver it at once to

THE HOSTILE MESSAGE
was received in the city early In the morn
ing, and read as follows:

subtraction he may desire. Tell him to
bring two friends with him, not members OF
his family. place myself in your hands.
JOHN p. YOUNG"
GOOD SHOT, BUT
When the messenger arrived at the office of
young Darlington he was cleaning legal in
spiration from the United States statutes at
large. When he read the telegram the book
fell.
What do you propose to do?" asked the
bearer OF the message.
81 can't do anything. You are aware that
there is statute against duelling in this

"Shall convey to Mr.. Young the fact that
you refuse TO meet him?"
"Hemi Is Mr.. Young aware of what a

mo-? with some eXasperatiOn;) "and Mr..
Young, know, don't care d-n what kind
OF shot you are. but is DESTROYS of showing
You how he can shoot"
The conversation ended by Mr. Darlington
expressing the opinion that he Thought
Young was noble fellow. He would not,
however, go to Bladensburg.

Young remained at Badensburg until sun

didn't go to Bladensburg, no blood was
