HoadIey on the second ballot for

the nomination was made unani-
NOUS. Judge Hoadley accepted the
nomination in brief address, dur

although he had wandered at one
time with the Republicans to fight
the battles of the colored race, the
Democracy was broad enough tore
ceive him again. He esteemed it a
great compliment. TO be nominated
over more worthy candidates, and
believed that the convention would

cipIes of the party as expressed IN

RIVAL LOVERS SETTLING THEIR DIFFER

A press dispatch of the Goth says
that James Mears, of North Carolina,
and AlODzO Hoffman, of South Caro-
lima, two highly connec'-d young men,
fought duel at Harrisburg, an out-of-
the-way little village between Charlotte
and Concord They were both in
love with young woman living at
Kings Mountain, and while visiting
her they had slight misunderstood
ing. After leaving the parlor Hoffman,
it is understood, asked Meares where a
note would reach him that night.
Meares gave him his address. Soon
'afterward he received formal chal-
lenge from Hoffman, which be, imme-
ldiately accepted, and replied that his
second was authorized to make all ar
rangements for a speedy meeting, The
two seconds got together, and by 1
O'Clock at night all the arrangements
were made for duel in the morning
at daybreak, in secluded grove about
two miles from Concord. Meares' sec
ond, he being the, challenged party,
and under the rules Of the code having
the choice OF the mode of settlement,
decided that the duel should be fought
according to the Marquis of QneeLs-
berry rules. At first the other side
objected to a smuggling match as unau-
thorized by the code, but careful inves-
tigation proved to their satisfaction
that such mode of fighting was not
decreed against the code. and accord
Ingly the ar angements were made.
The parties met promptly at day break.
Efforts to effect a compromise on the
field were unsuccessful. Only the
surgeon and seconds OF the combat
ants were present. The men disrobed.
The South Carolinan weighed $50
pounds, and his adversary 1852. They
were, otherwise well matched. After
fighting five minutes the North Caro-
Imam was knocked to the ground. He
got up again and pluckily resumed the
fight. They fought exactly seventeen
minutes by the watch of the surgeon.
and mt that time both were completely
winded and the seconds interfered.
Both were badly punished, the North
Carolinan having the bridge of his
nose broken. The combatants ex-
pressed themselves satisfied, and shook
hands before leaving the field. Al
though warrants were out for them for
fighting a duel, the law officers decid-i
ed that they wenld not arrest them, rs
the duelling law names pistols, guns,
or swords, and. as the parties used
neither, they do not come within the
provisions OF the law. Hoffman left
for South Carolina. Dr.

the proposed change of route for the

: West Sonora, village twenty miles

the scene Of one of the most singular
funerals on rec lrd. 1t was that Of DIR.

To the Editor Of The Morristown Gazette:
! / wish to correct an impression your
editorial notice of my retarn iscaleuia-
ted to make. Everything | saw in Mex
leo was not good. visited probably
thirty or forty mines ana saw only
three groups out Of that number that !
have any confidence in. Like all other
mining regions, there are great num-
Der of holes in the ground, called mines,
that are worthless for all purposes, ex-
cept to sink money in. Folks mines are
good they are called excellent by all
the Mexicans The results of the mill
for the seven days I remained there
were good, showing from $500 to $500
per day. The assays of the ores / had
made In California show they are good.
The ore-body is the largest saw in
Mexico, and / leaned greatly towards
conservatism when said $3.50, 600 could
be taken out annually. The vein is 80
feet wide and there are ], 900 feet of it
above water level, and the length of
this mine is 1000 metres. That is to
say, in one of the two mines the ore
body would make a parallelopipedon
80 feet wide, loco feet long and ,OOO
feet deep. .at
The other mine belonging to this pro-
perty has not such wide vein but the
ore is richer and saw large amount
of native silver with the ores. To be
perfectly frank, / did not expect to find
much in Folks mines when went out,
but 1 did find what think will prove
to be the best mining property in the
State of chihuahua.
