The recent duel -a New Orleans edit
or and a lawyer has furumhed a theme
for a number of our exchanges, which are
leveling their heaviest artillery against
the practice of dueling. We have noth
ing to say in defence, except this, which
we Raid when the report of the duel first
reached us, that if men want to fight, and
think that they are bound to fight, and
must and will fight, the duel seems to be
as fair a mode as any other, It may with
entire consistency be denounced by Qua¬
kers or non-resistants: but it seems to us
that'any fighting inan must his draw mode a very and
nice distinction to justify
condemn the duel as murder. Let us see
to that. Is prize fighting any more noble
and buwaue than a duel with pistols?
We suppose that few will contend that it
is. But the prize fighter’s ring, with its
umpire and its rules prohibiting all
“fouls,” certainly affords the very fairest
mode of fighting it out “fist and skull
fashion. If, then, the prize fight, thus
guarded and regulated, 1H brutal and
disgusting in the extreme (and we do not
deuv that it is), is not any other combat,
i i which men pound one another with
.heir fists, or with sticks, each taking ev
ery advantage of the other, equally brutal
aud even less fair? lu both cases brute
force and a little scientific skill must de¬
cide the combat, ami the weakest aud
the least skillful will be beaten, no matter
how just his cause may be. Is there any
thing nobler or less brutal than the duel
in this?
But it may be said that the brutality of
the duel consists in the extremity to
w Inch it is carried—in the sacrifice of life
that is sometimes involved, In the first
place, we doubt veiy much whether more
lives are annually lost in this country m
duets with pistols t han m personal contests
m which no “deadly weapons" are used.
We believe that a comparison of statistics
would show that the dueling pistol sends
fewer men to their graves than the bliulg
eon. tho kick, the rock, and the blow with
the fist. In the next place, it is iuipossi
ble to restrain mm, when they get into a
sudden fight, unlettered by rules or sec
oiids, from resorting to any means at hand
to carry on the combat, aud thus we Hee
many fights, begun with a blow of the
baud, ending by one party seizing any¬
thing within his reach—be it knife, pis¬
tol, stick or stone—and using it to the best
advantage, often to the killing or mami
iug of his antagonist, Very often, too,
the discomfited parly in a “list and skull”
fight cherishes revenge, seeks his adversa¬
ry with a deadly weapon, and takes his
life. Pretty homilies may be pronounced
against such a resort, to woapons oilier
than those of nature, and severe laws may
be passed to prevent if; but it is impossi¬
ble to coulr^i (he passions of many men
when thoroughly aroused, or to limit them
to any mode prescribed by others for car¬
rying ou defensive or offensive warfare.
It follows, if these premises are correct,
that the great moral wrong is in lighting
at all, more than in the mode of fighting.
And if all kinds of fighting are to be pro¬
hibited by severe penalties, all provoca¬
tions to fighting should be prohibited by
penalties equally severe, if tile law un¬
dertakes to make a man a gentleman, it
should make him a gentleman in the use
of his tongue aud his pen as well as his
hands.
The proposition of the Augusta Chron¬
icle. that the laws should be so changed as
to punish duelists as ordinary murderers
must surely have beeu written without
Hutflcieut reflection. Punish a man us a
murderer for shooting another when tbe
other is in the act of shooting at him !
This would make a discrimination agaiust
the duelist; it would deprive him of a
defence allowed to every other homicide.
Even the fear that the deceased was about
to use a weapon lias been hold by juries a
justification for taking his life ; aud the
law itself considers threats to take life as a
great palliation of the killing of the man
making the threats, lu the case of the
duelist the justification must be stronger,
because a man is placed iu a position
where he must kill or be killed—he iH con
fronted Ivy an adversary openly and un¬
mistakably trying to take bis life. So
say that a man who, thus circumstanced,
shoots his opponent, is not even to be al¬
lowed the plea that availed to save young
Walworth from the gallows—that he did
not commit murder with deliberate pre¬
meditation—-seems to us a proposition
that refutes itself by its own excess, It
can only spring from opposition to duel¬
ing as a particular mode of lighting or
killing, aud shows its inconsistency by its
intolerant bias.
We repeat that we are not defending
duelling. Only a necessity could make us
resort to that mode of settling a difficulty.
But we have endeavored in Hub article
show—
1st, That dueling with pistols ^ no
more brutal than other modes of personal
combat, aud is as fair as any.
2d, That the way to prevent it is to
put a stop to all lighting uud provocations
to fight.
3d, That the duelist ought to he al¬
lowed all the pleas of justification (self
defence, &c.,) allow ed to other homicides.
THE ClXVIXXJLTt SOt TII ERA H. K.
Cincinnati “makes haste slowly” in the
matter of the selection of the route for
her long-talked-of railroad to Chattanooga.
The latest report in reference to it is that
the company have now under considera¬
tion a proposition from the President of
the Kentucky Central Railroad to allow
the Cincinnati Southern to use the Ken¬
tucky Central on terms to be settled here¬
after. It is not quite clear from the no¬
tice before us whether this is a proposition
to make the Kentucky Central a link of the
Cincinnati Southern, or to allow the latter
the use of the former in the construction
of a parallel road. The Kentucky Central
is now, we believe, in operation from
Oovin'Jton, opposite Cincinnati, to Nich
olasville, a distance of perhaps 125 miles
ou a straight route towards Chattanooga.
The people of Chattanooga, on Satur¬
day last, by a vote of 323 to ti4, decided
to donate %100,<)0<) in bonds to the Cin¬
cinnati Southern Railroad.
Gallatin, beyond a doubt, has suffered

Eoitobs Son: We this morning P ‘ li<1 I
j our first visil to Wesleyan Female College
which is located ou top of College b |
one of the^nost commanding and attiin
live of the several hills that rise up in the
college f
very midst of this busy city. Jim
grounds occupy an entire square, upoii x
which commodious and imposing brick
buildings have been erected, with nutuer
OUK wo odeu structures in the rear. The
m «iu building is four stories high in the
centre, with wings of three stories; and
the chapel, which is near by, is two stories,
the lower floor being divided into reeita
tion rooms, The audience room above in
well seated and comfortably arranged,and
was this morning beautifully deoorat
ed with evergreeus, flowers and pictures.
From Prof. A. J. M. Uizieu, of the de
partment of Modern Languages and Latin,
tin: only member of the faculty who
seemed to have time to notice an humble
traveling correspondent, we obtained all
desired information in regard to the in
stitntiou, and were shown about the build
jugs and looked after in a manner that
I ; convinced us that lie is not only a most
j estimable Christian gentlemau, but also
“the right man in the right place,” espe
j c j tt Uy to entertain strangers with politc
i neHH and civility. Our visit to the hall of
1 t |, Fhilomatheun Society, in the north
wing, and to the hall of the Adelphean
Society,in the south wing of the building,
WH8 unusually attractive. The halls are
carpeted and handsomely furnished, the
W!l lls being bung with pictures, portraits
and photographs, prominent among wl ich
is a fine portrait of the late Rev. Dr. Bun¬
nell, under whose able supervision the
college attained to a high position in tke
educational world. The motto of the
Philomathean Society is “ Les Suture
Fideles;” or, “The Faithful Bisters.”
Among its members we notice the names
of Misses Lula Dozier, Mollie Barnes aud
Maria Wall. The Adelpheun Society, of
which Misses Nellie Verstillo aud Ida
Frazer are members, ban for its motto,
“We live for each other.” These literary
societies hold their public exhibitions al¬
ternately, the 1‘hiloniathean this, and the
Adelphean next year, under the name of
a “Biennial Celebration.”
DISTINGUISHED GRADUATES.
J’he Georgia Female College, which was
chartered iu 18:’.ii, was the first institution
of its kind in this country, if not in the
world. Beurgauizod in 1844, it took the
denominational name of the Wesleyan
Female College, which it has retained
wiih eminent success up to the present
time. Of the distinguished men who now
compose the Board of Trustees, we wilj
here mention the names of Bev. Loviek
Fierce, I). D., Bev. Armenius Wright, 1).
D., Hon. W. If. Chambers and Bev. J. S.
Key, D. D., of your city, and Bishop Geo.
F. Pierce, of Sparta, who arrived here
this morning. In glancing over the
names of the young ladies who have gone
forth from this institution since 1840, a
feeling of saduess comes over the heart.
So many of them have married aud died,
not a few of njioui occupied high posi¬
tions in society, while others are separat¬
ed, widely uud forever, by distance, for¬
tune or social inequalities. What blessed
memories cluster around the names of
Mis. Ann L. Chambers, nee Flewellen,
and Mrs. Martha K. Clopton, nee Ligou,
who havo passed “over the river,” having
borne the heat and ourden of the day,
where they now rest from earth's warfare
“uuder the trees” that grow by the river
of life. And with them stauds that sweet
poetess and gifted writer, Mrs. Jane T.
H. Cross, wife of Bev. Dr. Cross, whose
literary productions have made so many
homos aud hearts happy. But among the
honored living we tiud familiar names,
from whioh is reflected back upon this in¬
stitution, even in her proudest successes,
the light of a noble genius. It is no
feeble tribute to Wesleyan Female Col¬
lege, that iu the list of her “Graduates
iu the Honorary Second Degree" are
found the names of such a distiuguished
authoress as Miss Augusta J. Evans (Mrs.
Wilson ) and so gifted a poeteSNas Mrs. L
Virginia French, whoso assured future
success in the literary world must add yet
still brighter honors to those with which
they have already erowned their venerable
alma mater.
THE ART DEPARTMENT.
One of the most attractive features of
Wesleyan College, aud one that is presided
over wiih great fidelity and rare success,
is the department of drawing and pain¬
ting, which is in charge of Mrs. E. T.
Clowe. During the present public exer¬
cises the Chapel walls are profusely hung
with the paintings and pencil and crayon
sketches of the students, and we are glad
to report that the young ladies of your
section make as flue a display in this de¬
partment as those from any other pail of
the State. Nov are their productions ol
ordinary merit. Not a few ol them are ol
large size, and most artistic in their char
after aud finish. Miss Maria F. Wall, of
your city, contributes “Tired of Flay,"
a fine crayon sketch, with colored ground.
“Moonlight Promenade,” a pretty pencil
drawing, aud a sweet-faced portrait in
crayon, all of which are well executed.
Miss Laura Tarver, daughter of Mr. K.
W. Tarver, of Euon, Ala., has the large.-,!
and most varied collection ou exhibition,
and has received high praise for tlie su¬
perior manner iu which she has used nei
pencil aud brush, this being her first year
in the art department here. Her most
attractive picture is “The Blacksmith in
Winter," a large and elegant oil painting
representing a winter scene in front of a
blacksmith shop. “Morning ou the Alps,"
aud “Just Awake,” are oil paintings of
smaller size, but equal merit. The
“Maid of Mont Blanc” and “Asking
Alms," are two fine crayon sketches, both
of which are carefully finished. She also
contributes two pencil sketches, oue of an
old tree aud the other a fancy portrait.
Miss Mattie B. Owen, of Talbotton, ex¬
hibits a large aud splendidly executed
1 "Hebe," in oil, which shows that she pos¬
sesses considerable talent as a portrait
painter. Her "Mountain Streams" is also
a meritorious oil sketch, and both produc¬
tions show that this young lady has made
good use of her time and talents in this
department of female culture. Miss Lei¬
la A. Ross, a graduate of 1871, and well
known in your oity, coutributes an ele¬
gant oil painting, of large size and excel¬
lent finish, entitled “’A Friend in Need.”
which is much admired.
THE MUSIC DEPARTMENT.
Some of the most apt and gifted pupils
in this department are from your section,
and their public performances during the ,
past few days have been complimented in j
the highest terms. Misses Laura larver, |
Minnie Drane and Ida Frazer performed
Kinkel’s “Philomela Polka” on Friday 1 i
nj j,, j„ « splendid manner, according to
'
the verdict of th e Telegraph. We already
Uave spoken of the musical exercises of j
Thursday night, in which Misses Loula W. j
j) ozleri Mollie 0. Barnes, and Mary Lou i
Liu|e t()()k The readjng u f compo- i
^ |uorniug was interspersed
^ au(1 in8tiun) ental music, and
the sweetest gem of all, as well as the
most artistic performance, was the, vocal
duet—“Where the Streamlet Flows”—
by J Misties Mary J Lon Little and Clara
Wells. Both young ladies have pretty
faces, sweet voices, and refined manners,
and although Miss Little w as not in good
health, she went through with her part in
such a manner as to win the heartiest ap
planse. Strauss’ beautiful waltz—“On the
Blue Danube”—was also performed in
spirited style by Misses Loula W. Dozier
Mary Lott Little and Mollie A. Batts.
SENIOR CLASH COMPOSITIONS.
The college chapel was crowded to its
utmost capacity this morning, the audi
once heing drawn together to listen to the
reading of the compositions of the first
section of the Senior Class, The young
ladies were elegantly dressed in the pre¬
vailing styles, and, with but few excep¬
tions, read practical compositions, in a
natural and excellent manner. Miss
Minnie O. B. Drane, daughter of the late
Wm. M. Drane, of Buena Vista, was ex¬
cee< lingly happy both in the treatment of
her subject and file cordial and ea ny man¬
ner in which whe presented it to the audi¬
ence, by whom she was raptnously ap¬
plauded at. the close of her splendid ef
fort. .. Bubjeets,” in her hands, were
sharply and practically discussed, es
pecially those over whom woman,
in her kingdom of home, is called
upon to rule, Miss Mattie B. Owen,
daughter of Dr. Owen, of Talbotton, long
83 IlCt) deceased, discussed “Old Bachelors”
in r very wpicv and off-hand maimer. She
presented their good and bad qualities
with considerable fairness, and called
forth lor some of them as much sympa¬
thy and respect as an audience mostly
composed of ladies could bestow, while
she held up another class to ridicule and
contempt. Her effort this morning
stamped her as a young lady of great en¬
ergy of character and practical common
sense. Miss Kate Buss, sister of Miss
Leila Boss, of this city, a roguish, bright¬
eyed blonde beauty, read a sparkling, hu¬
morous composition iu rhyme, entitled
“I told you so,” which was frequently
interrupted with we.ll-deserved applause.
Her farewell to teachers and classmates,
however, was tenderly beautiful, and
proved that under all her roguish smiles
she carries in her bosom a kind and loving
heart—one that beats truly aud foudly
for the objects of her youthful affection.

Our Origin, Objects, and howto Organ¬
ize ,Subordinate Oranges.
In response to the many couimuuica
tious from the farmers of this State, in
regard to the origin, objects, and neces¬
sary steps to the organization of local
Granges of the Order of Patrons of Hus¬
bandry, the following resume has been
prepared: ‘Grange’ signifies farm, with
the term a
all its appointments ot building, stock,
etc., and is derived from the Latin gran
urn, a grain; and its use is of Scotch ori
gm. lu the United States, iu 18(>li, O.
H. Kelley—now Secretary of the National
Grange, Washington, 1J. C., but then a
Government clerk—was sent to the coasts
of South Carolina and Georgia to inquire
into the status of abandoned lands in
those sections. His observations of the
chaotic condition and uutold suffering of
the planters and their families iu that
Heaven-forsaken country awakened
tlie key-note to associations among
farmers; aud to-day the mimes of those
who have struck hands, even across the
‘bloody oliasm’—brothers by common
weal, if not by blood—are legion. With
malice toward none, and hope as our au
chor, and faith in God our shield, we, iu
the favoring winds of high heaven, aud
the interest of our common brotherhood.
set up our peacetul bauners.
OUR OBJECT
is tlie protection and advancement of the
interests of our membership—material,
educational, social aud moral. Our agency
will be found iu the employment of all
honorable and legitimate means, and
whioh can be supplemented only by that
association which, in the hands of all
other professions of our fellow men, con¬
stitute the Archimedean lever of success.
Our Order seeks to cheapen the cost of
living, hence to lessen the necessity for
phjsioal toil, thereby securing to us in¬
creased opportunities of leisure, which
can he devoted to mental aud social cul¬
ture. Thus the Order seeks to elevate aud
dignify its votaries. Law Membership
The letter of our of
requires that applicants for membership
shall.be actual, bona fide, practical farm¬
ers. Editors, who are iu known sympa¬
thy with our Order, are eligible to mem¬
bership free of initiation fee. Ministers
of the Gospel are likewise eligible, but
are subject to free regulations.
The minimum number whieh can ob¬
tain a charter is 0*) nine males and (4)
four females aud the maximum wliieh
will be allowed to apply for same is (20)
tweuty males aud y 10) ten females. After
obtaining dispensation, the Grange can
initiate indefinitely. There is great in¬
ducement held out to those who will be
come charter members, (those who apply
for dispensations are known as charter
m mliers.) from the fact that males have
j 1 only ($3) three dollars, and females (50;
fifty cents to pay as initiation fees ; and
besides they do not incur the tedium aud
embarrassment aud delay incident to the
initiatory ceremonies of all secret orgaui
zatious, which those do who join after or
gauizatiou. The fees of those who are
not charter members are (.■$.■>) five dollars
for males aud (2) two dollars for females;
aud four successive meeting nights of the
Grange are r quired before they can be
come regular 1’atrous.
Having ascertained that there is the re¬
quisite number who can join, and who
are willing to organize ° a Grange, let the
applicants , (or one party can write -s * for all) iw

There will be a meeting of the State

gust 13th, 1872.
q'h e co j nc idence discovered by one of
j papers—that the 15th of August, the
da y appointed for the complete evacua
tj oll 0 f French territory by the German
troops, is the anniversary of the birth
day of the Third Napoleon, and was there¬
fore a great fete day during his reign
lacks the important incident of accuracy.
Napoleon Third was born on the 20th of
April, 1808. But the First Napoleon was
born on the 15th of August 1709, and as
