OiwiciiBE Bend, Russell Co. Ala. ) March 4, 1644. \ My Dear Sim; Oil returning from Savannah to this place, I hail the pleasure lu receive your kiml favor of ihe 2llih ult., enclosing an invitation of the Muscogee Clay Club to bo present at the reception of Mr. Clay at Columbus, un the 11th iust. 1 very much regret that the necessity for a short but urgent visit to Texas, will cumpull me In leave homo, fur New Orleans, on the 6t|i instant. 1 shall, therefore, have to deny myself the sincere gratitieutiun which their invituti hi so ncc piably promises. You do me nu more than justice in supposing that tile very high estimate which I have lung since termed ul Mr, Calhoun’s eminent qualifications for the (invent moot uf this conn try, should in on degree interfere with my cordial disposition lodo honor to the distinguished individual who is about to visit you. it is true, that however much I may have iliflur. cd with Mr. Calhoun on a mere financial question, which at one lime more materially divided the ouun. try than at present, yet I have always recognized in his admirable genius, consummate ability and acknowledged moral worth, those resources for high public service which in any station would confer security and renown on his country, Hat it seems that the usual organs uf the party to which he is supposed to belong, whether nccrediled or not, have so far pronounced n different judgement, as proha. bly to postpone his claims in luvor of another dis. tinguished candidate; and cerlniuly according to all tns tokens of party organization, it appears that tho Baltimore Convention will perforin no oilier otlioe but to register an edict which has already gone forth, and that like Mae I gel's celebrated milomaton Trumpeter, lliis curious piece uf mechanism has be« n specially wound up to sound a particular note. Whether this mile will be in accord with the semi, moot of the people of the United Slates, remains lo be seen. My own bosom testifies to the truth of a remark that you most justly make, in tho Idler you have done me the honor to uddtess me, that the prefer ence which I have expressed for my distinguished fellow countryman. Mr. Calhoun, is in no degree inconsistent with the personal friends dp 1 enter tain for Mr. Clay, or of the just appreciation which I have formed of his ability and patriotism, during a servit o for several years with him, in the Con gress uf the United Stales; often in an excited op position, in which wo are best able to estimate the worth and power of those with whom we may be associated. I be came acquainted with Mr. Clay in Ihe session of 1823, when lie filled tile chair of speaker of the House of Representatives. Although at that time u young member, yet, through his kindness and par- liality I was placed at the head of one of its inllu. cnliul committees. Our acquaintance ripened into the strongest social intimacy, which continued without abatement, until the formation of that great party winch was constituted lo eflecl the election of Genet ul Jackson lo the presidency of the United Slates. It i* known to you we took difiereit! sides I fell ti'Yself in the angry contest which marked that great public convulsion, gradtia Iv separated front him. Although I never indulged in the small est personal abuse and denunciation of this gentle men—which would have been so utterly inconsis tent with our former relations—yet,after the elec* tion uf Mr. Adams to the Presidency, I was in tho habit of passing Mr. Clay, in the streets of Wash ington, without even u distant recogn tion—for I had then tho fully to regard an opponent of Gene ral Jackson almost ns a public enemy of the coun try. Such is the madness of party ! These? rela tions continued until I was summoned In Mr. Ran dolph to attend him to tiie field, under Mr. Clay’s challenge, in consequence of the II .grant insult which he had olf-reti him ill the Senate of the U. Stales, in conjunction with your lauieiited nnd gal lant fellow Rutiulrymiin, Colonel Tatnali, at lliut time a member of the House of Representatives from Georgia. There are some circumstances connected wish litis duel which have mver been made public, which ns they ate honorable both to the living and the dead, I hope I may be pardoned in relating. I do not think they ui i render Mr. Clay’s reception less cordial and enthusiastic, u. nioug a people wlm, if they cherish romantic, and as they are called, I'ulso notions of honor, are at the same time nlive lo tho testimonies of u galliot, gen orous and feeling spirit. Tho night before the duel, Mr. Randolph sent for me in the evening. 1 found him calm, but in a singularly kind and confiding mood. He told mo that lie bud something on his mind to tell me. He then remarked, “Hamilton, I have determined receive, w ithout returning Clay’s fire; nothing shall induce me to harm a hair of Ids In-ad; I will not make his wile a widow, or his children orphans. Their tears would bo shed over his grave, but when the sod uf Virginia rests on my bosom, there is not in this wide world one individual to pay this tribute upon mine.” His eyes filled, and resting bis head upon liis hand, we remained some moments silent. I replied,“my dear friend,” (for ours was a sort of posthumous friendship, bequeathed by our mo- tliers.) *1 deeply regret that you have mentioned this subject to me, for you called upon mo to go to the field and to sec you shot don n, or to assume the responsibility, in regard in your ow n life, in sustain ing your determination to throw it away. But on this subject a man’s own conscience nnd his own husom uru his best monitors. I will not advise, hut * under the enormous nnd unprovoked personul in sult you have offered Mr. Clay, I cannot dissuade, I feel bound, howevur, to communicate to Col. Tatnali your decision.” He begged me not to do so, nnd said, “lie was very much afraid that Tail, nail would lake the studs, and refuse to go out with him.” 1 however sought Col. Tatlnal and we re paired, about midnight, to Mr. Randolph's lodgings whom we found reading Milton’s great poem. For •ome moments ho diJ not permit us to say one word in teJalion lo the approaching duel; nnd he ul once commenced one of those delightful criticisms on e pussnge of this poet, in which he was wont so enthusiastically to indulge. After a pause, Colo nel Tattnall remarked,“Mr. Randolph, lain told you have determined not to return Mr. Glny s fire; I must say lo you, my dear sir, if I am only to go nut to see you shot down, you rims! find some Other friend.” Mr. Ruudolpli remarked that it was his determination. After much conversation on tho subject, I induced Col. Tattnall to uilow Mr. Ran dolph to toko Ins own course, us Ins withdrawal as one of liis friends, might lead lu very injurious mis- constructions. At lust, Mr. UtuuJolpii, smiling, •aid* "will TnUfltill, 1 promise you one tiling, if I •eo llui devil m Cluy *s eye, un i that with malice prepense lie menus lo tnko my life, I may change my mind." A remark 1 know lie merely made h piopitintc the unxitiu* of his friend: .Mr. Clay ami himself mot at 4 o'clock the hoc cccdiug evening, on the banks of the 1‘otomue. But he saw no “devil in Cmy'a eye,” hut u mail IVarloan and expressing the mingled sensibility and firmness which belonged to tho occasion, 1 ahull never forget this scene, ax long as I live. It has been my misfortune to witness several duels, hut I never suvv one, at least in its sequel.su deep, ly uHeeling, The f un was just setting behind the blue hills of Randolph's own Virginia. Here were two of the most extraordinary men our country in its prodi. gniiiv had produced, about lo meet in mortal coin- loot.'* I leel that by these exhausted craters lean plant a few of those charities which induce us to took with indulgence on the opinions of others, uud with it leas overweening confidence in our own. Although I have not fell it worth my while, or any body's while, to define my position, and to deter* mine whether I am Democrat or u Whig—(for on certain points I have differed and agreed with boll) parties)—yet, I cuiiuot but feel and express my strong regards for the Whigs of Georgia, who, at a limn \v hen Smith Carolina needed friends, were, nearly all, mdlifiurs to a man, and prepared “to hack ns to death." |, therefore am little disposed tw quarrel with them now, if they happen to have made op their minds to support till individual for the Presidency who was mainly instrumental in tin* only substantial reduction of tho Tariff which lias ever been effected, on any r» cognised principle of public security ; who has stood forth on two occa sions as the great ami successful mediator of the perilous strifes of this confederacy ; and who, hat. U hiist 1 attuall was loading Randolph's pis \ brilliant courage and surpassing genius, unites the tol, I approached my friend, I believed lor the last j most attractive social qualities. I may have had time; 1 took his hand; there was not in its touch tin quickening of one pulsation. He turned to me and said, "Clay is culm, but not vindictive” I hold my purpose, **lJamiltoii, in any event remember lliis." On handing him Ins pistol, Col. Tattnall sprung the hair trigger. Mr. Randolph said, "Tattnall, al 'though 1 am one of the best allots in Virginiu, with either a pistol or gun, yet 1 never fire with the "hair trigger; besides, l have a thick buckskin glove on, which will destroy the delicacy of my "touch, and the trigger may fly before I know where ‘•1 am." B.ji from nis great solicitude forliii friend Tattnall insisted upon hairing the trigger. On la Uing their position, the fact turned out as Mr. Rnu- my preference, my dear Sir, and they are entitled to theirs, which liicv are quite likely lo make lar more effectual than my own, by a triumph decisive and overw helming.

A letter from n gentleman in dm neighborhood apprizes us ol the death, on Wednesday night, of tint Hon.

Ho w as a line old gentleman, and a noble speci men of the race of American descendants of the Huguenots, liis life was an unbroken series of kind nnd good actions, and a lesson of virtue to ul. within the influence of his example. We have not the materials ol a biography of this excellent and eminent citizen. The history ol liis public life is familiar to all. The first appearance of Judge Duvall in the General Government was in the House of Repre sentatives, which lie entered in May, 1794, as tlie Representative of the District iu which lie lived.— Service in Congress interfering, probably, loo much with his professional pursuits, !to resigned his scat in May, 1790, and returned tu his practice at the Bar. In December, 1802, ho was appointed by l’resi. dent Jefferson to ho Comptroller of tlto Treasury, In that capacity lie set veil with the approbation and respect of tlto public until the lStlt of November, 1811, w hen his name and that of Judge Story were on the same day presented by the President’to the Senate, and the next day confirmed by that body, to fill vacancies on tlie bench of the Supreme Court. As a member of that dignified tribunal, Judge Duvall sat by tho side of his iflustrious friend, the late Chief Justice Marshall, for nearly a quarter of 1 a century, nnd retired to private life only when warned of the necessity of doing so by n growing deafness, which disqualified him from longer dis. charging the judicial function with satisfaction to himself. Since his retirement from public life, ho lias, until lately enjoyed remarkable health fora man ol Ins years. In his occasional visits to this city utid Baltimore within the last few years, lie exhib ited an erectness of port, and a vigor of step, which might Ituve been envied by much younger men. Living, as lie did, to a good old age, he lias not wo arc persuaded, left in tiie world i'rum which lie Inis departed a single individual w ho, knowing him. does not remember him with reverence and uffec. tion. Imd heuu confided, an I wlto, on u trying occasion, added to his known valors > benignant a desire for pence and conciliation. But, we knew tii.it on the discharge of tlie first mu-ke'., the streets of our city would run with fraternal blood. Mr. Clay lent liis liatid to stay tlie torrent.

Engaged in an anxious and ardent elfin to pay my debts, by tilling the soil un the hanks of this river— the sunny acclivity of public honors has no attrac tions tor me—I seek the valley, and prefer the shade. There was a time when I might have clier- lied other aspirations, hot that time has gone furev- j nr. Retired, therefore, from the contest of parties, I think my very position makes me a witness be yond exception. But, still, my opinions may he of very little value; such as they arc, you are cuti tied in them. I believe Mr. Clay’s election is about as probable as any human event, in futurity, can well ho. A vista of renown will lie opened to Itiin, which has awaited the administration of no previous I’ri si dent, since llmt of the “Father of our country." it tie is able, by his commanding i .fiuettce lu arrest, in Congress, Ihe portentous agitations of the sluve question, and lo fix the Inriff firmly, un the basis u( the principles nf hisuwn compromise, he w il in sav ing liis country, have reaped liis own hurvest, ahun dunt and fructifying, now und forever. 1 know III man who Ims mure of the instrumental menus lo perform this high function than himself. 1 believe, in the splendor of a yet unclouded ge. nius.

That man must have limited sight, nnd strong nerves, who does not see or seeing docs not feel, that the country has to pass through u valley env compassed with clouds nnd darkness. The crisis requires n gifted sagacity, and tiie highest moral Courage ; Mr. Clay has these qualities, ill a degree conferred on few men. In making these remarks, I beg you not t > consider, "ne of them ns intended in disparagement of the gentleman who is consi dered as hitherto, in opposition to Mr. Cuiliottn in tiie ranks of the same party, to w iticit they are liotn said to belong.
