THE CODE.

CHARLESTON, July GA contro~
versy between Col. E. B. G. Cash,
of Chesterfield, and Capt. W. L.
Defass and Col. VIM. M. Shannon,
of Camden, in this state, eliminated
yesterday in a duel between Cash
and Shannon, in which the last
named was killed. Defass and Cash
made arrangements to fight,
but did not meet in con-
sequence of tho arrest Of the former.
Shannon was challenged by Mr..
EIlerby, one of the parties to the
controversy, but the challenge was
refused. Cash then published
Shannon as coward. Out of this
it is prest med the fatal meeting
arose. 1t was the difficulties above
mentioned which ledto the formation
Of the Camden anti-dueling asso,
citation. Col. Shannon was about
sixty years of age, and was univer>
sally beloved and respected.
Col. Shannon denied to the last
of having reflected on Mr.. Cash in
the legal proceedings which caused
the trouble, and challenged Cash
on account of the latter's abusive
publications concerning him. Col.
Shannon was lawyer of high char
acter and large practice and leaves
a large and dependent family. The
meeting took place at 2 o'clock
yesterday afternoon. -.--
Special dispatches to the News
and Courier say that the Cash~
Shannon duel took place at Duboses
bridge, on the border of Camden
county. Shannon, who was the
challenged party, fred first, the ball
striking the ground near Cash's feet.
Cash then fired, the ball passing
through Shannon's heart. Death
was instantaneous. .-r

THE BLOODY FIELD.

New YORK, July IA special
from Camden, Kershaw county, S.
c., says of the duel which was
fought on the 5th inst, in which
Col. VIM. NJ. Shannon was killed:
"Complications leading to the f; al
meeting began over year ago, when
a man named Weinges brought suit
for damages agaiest another named
Elerbea, for injuries to his person
which he claimed to have received
at the latter's hands. Col. Shan
non and Capt. W. L. Defass were
attorneys for Winges, and they sue
ceeded in getting judgment against
Ellerbea for $4,000. 1t was then
discovered that all of Ellerbea's
property was held by the wife of
Col. E. B. Cash on mortgage, and
there was nothing to satisfy the
judgment.
Col. Shannon and Capt. Defass
secured evidence to show that the
mortgage vas a fraudulent one, and
had been given for the express pur~
pose of evading the judgment, and
the result Of their efforts was to
have the mortgage set asiue on the
ground of legal fraud. The evi-
dence on which this action of the
court was taken bore somewhat
strongly against the wife Of Col,
Cash, and be determined to have
revenge on the two lawyers who had
unearthed it. He and his son have
been engaged in several duels be-
fore this one. He arranged with
Ellerbea to call out Shan
non and Defass. Ellerbbea ac>
cordingIy challenged Shannon
to fight him, but the old gentleman
refused on the ground that dueling
was against the laws Of the state, as
we'll as his principles. Cash posted
the old gentleman as coward, who
had sullled his wife's name and then
refused to her husband satisfaction
due to a gentleman. The old gen~
tleman protested that he had done
no wrong to Mrs. Cash, but
wherever he went vile epithets ap-
piled to him by his enemy reached
his ears. Finally, goaded almost to
desperation, he sent challenge to
Cash, who Immediately accepted it
and the duel took place as already
stated.

PILLARS OF FIRE.

HALIFAX, N. S., July 6.-Mr.
Stoddard, second mate of the brigs
antine Fortunate, which arrived on
Sunday from the West Indies, re-
ports that one night while passing
along the coast of Florida, on a re-
cent voyage, singular phenomena
appeared. Just after dark two col~
umns of fire were seen, seemingly
about mile away. They were
about so yards apart and rose to a
height of nearly 500 feet, when
they arched towards to each
other, but did not meet.
They burned with steady, dull, red
color, and did not emit any sparks,
but at the arching portions emitted
tremulous rays of light, similar to
the aurora borealis. They appeared
in sight all night, and gradually
faded away as daylight came. Tie
weather was beautifully clear, and
not a cloud was visible during the
entire night. On the following day
there was q tremendous thunder
storm, accompanied by a gale oi
wind, but no rain.

ATLANTA, July To-day in
the superior court the first negro
juror was called; he served with
eleven well known white citizens,
was made foreman of the jury and
brought in a verdict of guilty
against colored man charged with
burglary. In the next case he was
refused by Asa Gum, colored,
charged with murder. who said he
wanted no "nigger" to try him for
his life. The incident caused much
comment, and the addition of names
of intelligent colored men to the
jury levies Ct state courts is genero
ally approved.
