From a sudden altercation which took place about three weeks ago, in his town, between Gens. Houston and White, it seems that the latter challenged the former to single combat, and that the challenge was accepted. They were compelled, by an interposition of the civil authorities, to iransfer the scene of operations beyond the Kentucky line, and the meeting took place on Thursday morning hist, about sunrise. As the first fire Gen. Ilousioii’s aim took effec', striking a little below the right shoulder blade, and passing round and lodging on the opposite side, from which it was easily extracted. Strong hopes are entertained that the wound will not prove fatal, and the parties separated on the ground with evidences of the kindest feelings and perfect reconciliation.— Gen. White’s fire did not take effect, a* the discharge did not take place unt l probably ex tracted by the lire of tlie other pistol. National Danner. The Hamilton Papers.—It will probably be recollected by our readers that a Chancery suit was instituted some e ghieen months ago, by Mrs. Hamilton, to recover certain papers de posited for stife keeping with Mr. Rufus K ng, by the acting executor of Gen. Hamilton.— Various allusions made in ihe newspapers to the supposed character and contents of those pa pers, induced us to publish at the time, so much of t he bill in Chancery as specified these par ticulars. By this extract it appeared that these papers consisted chiefly of letters between Gous.

Mr. K, accordingly^ directed his of not causing dirt, by the earth washing out of them when watered. For transportation, plants rooted in moss are sail! to be better adapted, on account of their lightness. In short, the me thod was declared to be excellent. The ex planation of the practice seems to be this: that moss rammed into a pot, and subjected to con tinual watering, is soon brought into a state of de composition, when it becomes a pure vegetable mould, which is the most proper of all materials for the growth of almost all kind of plants.— The moss would also not retain more moisture, than precisely the quantity best adapted to the absorbent powers of the root—a condition which can scarcely he obtained with any cer tainty, by the use of earth. London News of Literature. The Paris Ship Canal.—A late Paris pa per gives tho following account of the project of a Ship Canal from Havre to that city. The distance is about a hundred and fifty mtles. Paris will, without doubt, he made a sea port—We give in a few words the history of this project—M. de Pol^nac, being ant- counsel to notify the family of General Ilam l toil, that in consequence of the publication of Mr. Jay’s letter, he no longer felt himself hound hy the trust delegated to him, to with hold the papers claimed; mid that they were therefore subject to the order of any person duly authorized to receive them. They wore thereupon delivered to Mr. J. A. Hamilton, and the suit was discontinued. N. Y.
