THE DUEL.
First Blood for the Readjusters.

There has been blood on the face Of the
moon in the town of Warrenton, Va, for
the past fortnight, growing out OF politics,
and some of it was shed last evening. Dur
ing recent political debate rough language
passed between Mr.. Robert 8. Campbell,
Readjuster, and Mr.. James Scott, Fundcr
both young lawyers of WarrentOn it even
tuated in prospective duel over week
ago, but both parties were arrested and
placed under heavy bonds to keep the
peace. Yesterday, however, it was mani
fest that hostile meeting was imminent /:
both Campbell and Scott were closely
watched, but managed to elude the officers
of the law and met at the Double Poplars,
about three miles from the town, about z
o'clock yesterday evening. Alexander
Hunter, of Alexandria, the Vir-
ginia correspondent of the Capital, of
this city, was Campbell's second, and
Mr.. Richard Scott, of Petersburg, seconded
Scott. The weapons were rcvolvers, Scott
using central fine Smith & Wesson, and
Campbell Colts. The distance was ten
PAGES In the first fire Campbell shot Scott
through the hand. Scott asked for second
fire to which Campbell acceded, but Hunter
interfered, taking the pistols from the CON-
batants and firing them in the air.
Campbell is the son-in-law of Col. John
s. Mosby, and is the Readjuster candidate
for the Legislature.
Scott is the son of Col. Scott, the Common
wealth Attorney of Fauquicr County.
Further details of the affair have not yet
been received, but it is very certain that all
parties concerned have been arrested.

Mrs. Amanda Henderson committed
suicide by drowning ut st. Georges, Della
ware, yesterday. She was but 81 years of
age. At the inquest it was learned that
she had given evidence during the past few
days of acute mental suffering, attributed
to the harshness of her parents, who live in
Buffalo, n. Y. She had married her hus-
band, who is about 60 years of age, against
the wish of the parents, and, consequently,
had been forbidden TO come home. This
preyed upon her mind. nIHl
