grew another, in which Gen.
Jackson was one of the
chief actors. A Mr.. McLin
was accused by him of having
written an anonymous communica-
ton to a Nashville paper, relating
the circumstances Of the feud be-
tween Jackson and Sewer, to the
prejudice of the former. HE met
himzat Nashville and attacked him.
Pistols and swords were drawn,
brickbats were thrown, and a melee
ensued that would be disgraceful at
this day to the lowest street bully.
Another circumstance is related
in the papers referred to, which, by
the iway,. purports7 to have been re-
Gently discovered in the old Con-
grossiond1 Globe Office in Washing
ton and at the late residence of
Montgomery Blair, sr., in which
Jackson figured badly. 1t is the
well, known duel between himself
and Dickinson. No circumstance
in his life illustrates Old Hickory's
pluck better than this. Without
going into the circumstances, which
are doubtless familiar to most of
our readers, it will be remembered
that Dickinson was splendid shot.
Jackson, by some means, heard
that Dickinson had said that
he intended, in their affair of
honor, to aim at certain prominent
button on his coat which was
Immediately over his heart. Jacks
sons person was very thin, and he
wore on the occasion a very loose
fitting coat. AT the word Dickin>
son fred and. the bali from his
pistol struck Jackson's coat about
the place he intended it should.
But the loose coat had deceived
him. The ball grazed the Generals
side, causing a rather painful though
not a dangerous wound. He
aimed to fire at the same time but
his pistol snapped. When Dickine
sons ball struck him he did not dis
play the least sign of pain or make
motion that would betray the fact
that he had been struck at all.
dickinson grew pale, stepped back
apparently, not believing it possible
that he had missed killing his an
tagonist. Jackson's second yelled
to him to stand up to the mark,
when the General took deliberate
aim and killed him. Under all the

than deliberate murder.
That General Jackson was a man
of stern integrity, no one will doubt
or gainsay. ~ That he had a will
equal to that of a Napoleon, his
tory attests, That ne was patriot
of the highest type, none will dis
pute. But he was guilty of acts
which would not be tolerated in q
public man of any prominence to-
day. The world has not grown bet
ter in some respects, but there is {
vast improvement in others, ovel
