A Notable Duel.
Gkatz Buown and Gov. Kkynoi.ds,
of Missouri.
Since Gratz Brown lias been brought
prominently before the country as the
Liberal candidate for Vice President,
on the ticket with Horace Greeley,
the following account of a duel fought
between him and Gov. Reynolds, of
Missouri, some fifteen or sixteen years
ago, will be read with interest. It
was the last poltical duel fought in
Missouri :
The Duel was fought in 185 G, on an
island in the Mississippi, some forty
or fifty miles below St. Louis. The
principals were at the time young
earnest and able politicians—men of
intelligence, highly educated and full
of ambition. Brown, a Kentucky, iK
was editor of the Democrat, which
was at that time the organ ot‘ J ’ -t
- , 0 ine Ben
ton Democrats, ar , M .
, , controlled by him
a . IK Blair, then as now, his
close and intimate friend, Reynolds, a
Virginian, had, after completing his
studies in Germany, acted for awhile
as secretary of legation and charge
d’affairs at Madrid. He had removed
to St. Louis some four years before,
and was practicing law.
111 IBOG the quarrel between the
Benton Democrats and the anti-Ben
tion Democrats, the pro-slavery and
the anti-slavery men, bad become ex
tremely bitter, and was made the more
violent by the fact that in that year
the Gubernatorial, President and Com
gressional elections were all tobe-held.
Colonel Benton, bad, after a tre
mendous struggle, been left out of the
Senate, in which he bad for thirty years
represented Missouri with distinguish
ed ability and unswerving fidelity.—
From this action of the Legislature he
appealed to tlie people by becoming a
candidate for Governor.”
The anti-Benton Democrats nomi
nated against him their ablest and
most popular leader, Thrusten Polk,
while the Whigs and Know Nothings
non. i uated. Ewing. In St. Louis the
Benton men nominated Frank P. Blair
for Congress. The Whigs and Know
Nothings nominated the then incum
bent, Luther K. Kennel i. Vue anti
Benton men nominated Thomas C.
Reynolds. All of them were “right
ing men,” and gentleman of the high
est character.
The nominations were made in Mav.
*' 5
the election was to be held in August.
The canvass was conducted by ail par.
ties with the utmost spirit and with
great bitterness, the expression of
which was, however, generally kept
within the bounds of gentlemanly pro
priety ; for in those days a candidate
for these high offices in Missouri nev
er forgot, nor let others forget, that he
was a gentleman.
The Congressional Disttrict was
throughly canvassed by Blair and
Reynolds, who discussed the issue of
the canvass in presence of the people
as was then the good custom. Each
was aided by Ills friends, of whom
Blair had a powerful one in the editor
of the Democrat.
One day an article appeared in that
paper containing what Reynolds con.
ceived to be an offensive allusion to
to himself. lie replied through the
Leader in a brief but bitter note. A
challenge was sent and accepted.
ißrown’s seconds were two well
known gentleman, since dead—Col.
Mitchell and Mr. Walker. These ad
vised with Colonel Benton, Frank P.
Blair, aud other leading men of their
party, for it was a public and party
matter.
Reynolds’ seconds were Col. Fer
dinand Kennett and Captain Hudson,
both of whom have since died. Their
advisers were Col. David 11. Armstrong
the present Chairman of the Democrat
ic State Committee, and author of the
Passive or Missouri Policy, and Col.
Linn, the Collector of the Port.
The terms were agreed upon, and
the parties went with their friends to
an island in the Misissippi, forty miles
below St. Louis. Both were men of
unquestioned courage and excellent
shots. Brown was a bachelor. Rey -
nolds had a wife as brave as himself.
Kennett aud Mitchell, old and devo
ted friends, though then acting for
mortal adversaries, tossed a half dol
lar for choice of position. Kennett
won. They then tossed for the word;
again Kennett, won, and Reynolds
seemed to be m luck.
We now quote from a recent ac
count of the affair.
The choice of position was not of
much advantage, however, as the sun
was too low to affect either. The
word remained with Kennett, and he
was to call out." “Fire—One—Two—
Three—Stop.” The principals were
not to lower their pistols before the
word fire, and not to shoot after the
word stop.
“Kennett and Mitchell measured
the ground carefully. Each turned

alter he had finished and threw a keen
glance along the tawney track, and
then looked one into the eyes of the
! other. They did not speak audibly,
yet both said in their hearts “It is
close.”
And it was. Too close for two
such men, who had only between
! them the unpleasant memories of a
political quarrel.
They were placed face to face-Brown
looked straight at his adversary a
pleasant halt smile on his lip. Not a
muscle quivered. lie stood as if carv
ed from the sand, immovable and yet
full of bountiful life. Reynolds’ afcti
tude was none the less superb. The
Kentuckian and the Virginian were
to light as their ancestors had fought
before them for a hundred years.— I
They recognized the code. ‘j. was j
v> Sy the code they would be
judged fairly, string 0r sassing.
The pistols were brought and load
cd carefully. A grain of powder,
more or less, might sacrifice a • life.—
They were ugly looking weapons, to
say the least of them, and of English
make. On each barrel was the word
“London” engraved. The stock were
of mahogany, and of the saw-liandlc
shape. They had hair-triggers, dou
ble sights, were smooth bores, and
carried each an ounce ball. The bar
rels were full six inches long, and
were dark looking and ominous.
It was now between six and seven
o’clock. The negro oarsmen looked
on ill sober wonderment. The sur
geons arranged their instruments and
bandages. The respective friends of
each principal took their positions,
and when everything was ready, Ken
nett called out in a clear and distinct
voice ‘Gentlemen are you ready'?’
“So nearly together as to sound as
one voice, both Brown and Reynolds
answered, “Ready.”
Kennett then cried out “Fire.”
Before the word one was heard
Reynolds lowered his pistol and tired.
Brown fired almost simultaneously
with his adversary. Indeed the two re
ports were blended so nearly as to be
indistinguishable, and the seconds
looked from one to the other to see if
either was hit. Reynolds stood per
fectly still with his smoking pistol in
his hand, while Brown shifted Ills
weight from one leg to the other, as
if suffering pain.
Hudson walked up to Reynolds and
said to him, I fear Brown is wounded
ia the groin. Reynolds replie 1, ‘You
must be mistaken, for I aimed at his
knee.’
Hudson then went near to Brown
returning in & short time to his prin
cipal, remarking. You are right, he is
shot in the knee.’ ‘I was certain of it
replied Reynolds, the wound will not
be dangerous.’
Brown’s friends in the meanwhile
had approached him and led him to
one side, while the surgeons examined
his wound. He was as cool as a gren
adier. Although suffering extreme
pain and scarcely able to stand, he
sternly demanded another fire, insist
ing on bis ability to remain upon the
fiield.
The surgeons overruled his wishes,
and immediately a conterence took
place between all the friends of each,
which was communicated to the prin
cipals, and Reynolds-instantly advan
ced to where Brown was lying—the
pain ot the wound having forced him
finally to the ground—and offered his
hand in a frank and friendly manner
Brown received it in the same spirit,
and they had some pleasant conversa
tion together. Mutual expressions of
esteem were exchanged, and the mu
tual withdrawal of everything offen
sive that had taken place between
them.
Just at that time the steamer Edi
tor from Memphis, heavily loaded and
crowded with passengers, came in
sight down the river. She was at
once halted and stopped to take the
party on board. Brown had to be re
movod in a blanket, the ball having
split tlys knee on the right leg just up
on the edge of the joint, causing pro
fuse hemorrhage and intense pain. A
state room was [ laced at once at his
disposal, and he received the most
generous attention from all.
Reynolds went to his native State
in the late war and was for two years
the Confederate Governor of Missouri.
He is now practicing law in St. Louis
and he and his old antagonist are pol
itically and socially friends. Brown
was elected to the United States Sen
ate, and last year was made Governor
of Missouri by the united votes of the
Democrats and Liberal Republicans!”
New Orleans is soon to have a
grand Greeley and Brown celebration.
General Beauregard’s name heads the
list calling for the same.
“Cascarilla, ’ the intelligent Raleigh
correspondent of the "VYllmington
Journal, thinks a large majority of

The Last Scene at Appomattox.
There was a re-union of the Society
of the Army of the Potomac held at
Cincinnati, on the 7th alt. At this
celebration the oration was delivered
by Gen. Stewart L. Woolford, of New
A ork, and from this oration we make
the following extracts:
“ Ihe morning crept slowly on—
first into gray dawn, then into rosy
flush. Still on ! still on ! The mists
crept upward and into line you wheel
ed, and on your muskets lay down,
each man in place, to get scant rest,
which even in the exhaustion of those
oG hours of terrible marching you
neither sought nor heeded. You were
squarely across Lee’s front, and had
closed forov-y; Ns last line of retreat. ■
ihe enemy reaching your cavalry
advance, saw the serried Iffio of the
Union troopers. Gordon gathered
and massed his men for their last
charge. Tattered and hungry, worn
by ceaseless marching and lighting,
with no hope of victory, with little
posibility of escape, they closed their
lines with a fidelity of discipline and
soldierly resolution, to v. hieh each
soldier’s heart must recognize and
honor.
As the old guard closed around
their Emperor at Waterloo, so these
men closed round the flags of thbfr
lost cause. My heart abhors their
treason. But it warms beyond re
straint to tlieir manhood so grandly
brave, even in disloyalty. Slowly
they advanced to their last attack.—
No battle yell, no crack of the skirm
ishers rifle broke the strange stillness
of that Sabbath morn. Steadily, si
lently they came, when Sheridan drew
back his horsemen, as parts some
mighty curtain, and there stood the
close formed battalions of your infant
ry, the cannon gleaming in the open
ings, quietly awaiting the coming of
Gordon’s men.
Instinctively your enemy' halted.—
Meanwhile Lee has turned back to
meet Grant and surrender his com
mand. Sheridan swung his cavalry
around upon Gordon’s left, and was
about to charge, when Custar reached
Longstreet. Assurance of surrender
was given, and the end had come.
That Sabbath clay, with tears and
in sorrow, Southern men folded the
banners of the “ Lost Cause,” and
their bravest and best sought honor
ably to bury them from sight forever
llow sad it is that poor ambitions,
jealousies of race, the wretched greed
of pelf and place and the miserable
hates of social rivalries, should so of
ten disturb the hearty reconciliation
of that surrender and for a time re
vive the bitterness which you then
sought to bury in a common grave.
Tills hour is no time for politics.—
Aline are not the lips, I trust, to intro
duce them here. But when I think of
that heroic past, which your faces and
presence so vividly recall, and then
how trading trickster politicians, for
getful of what baptism of blood seal
ed the new birth of the nation, seek to
array races in needles hostility, to ex
cite the ignorance of the one and the
brutal prejudices of the other, I would
like to summon a guard, half from the
rebel army of Northern Virginia and
half from the loyal army of the Poto
mac, take such malcontents out, give
them drum-head court-martial imme
diate execution and soldierly burial
under the apple tree at Appomatox.
Mr. Giieely’s White llats.
When Mr Greeley left his editorial
room on resigning the command of
the Tribune, we read that “in one
corner of the room there are nearly
thirty boxes, from the different New
York hatters, each containing a white
hat. they had come in so fast that
Mr.. Greeley distributed them to the
employees in the building.
The compositors must have come
in for a good share, as the majority
of them, as they passed to the com
posing-room that evening, were
crowned with white hats.

Stephen Girard’s Rule.— I have
always considered advertising, liberal
ly and long, to be the great .medium
of success in business and a prelude
to wealth, and I have made it an
invariabe rule, too, to advertise in
the dullest times, long experience
having taught me that money thus
spent is well laid out; as, by keeping
my business continually before the
public, it has secured me many sales

Atheism—lnfidelity.
Atheism and Infidelity, although
; used in a like sense, are properly not
synonymous. Avii Atheist is one who
denies a supreme intelligent Being—
|an infidel disbelieves in Christ, Ma
; hommed, Moses, Confucius, etc., and
i thinks, although gifted with great
virtues and wisdom, these men were
only law-givers and philosophers like
Lycurgus, Solon, Socrates and Horace
Greeley, and no ways spoke or acted
from immediate divine inspiration and
authority. The latter class also deny
and reject the evidences of miracles
and prophesies as recorded by mere
human writers and historians to
establish the truth of supernatural
events and revelations. Truth is op
posed to both Atheism and Infielitv.
The human mind, like a pendulum,
swings continually between the ex
tremes of too much credulity and too
much skepticism. Our mental con
victions and habitual practice should
settle upon the golden man—to re
ject everything false in’religion, poli
tics, manners and morals, and cling
only to the truth. Here however we
are met with the celebrated question
of Pilate—“ What is truth ? ” Our sel
fish passions and prejudices come into
play, our reason is darkened, and we
are left like Sampson without his
Strength to grope in eternal darkness
amid falling pillars and ruins.
We know that belief is commonly
esteemed a virtue, and unbelief a
crime—but why ? Is it a greater sin to
believe too little than too much 1 The
human miseries having their origin
in superstition and bigotry have cer
tainly equalled and out numbered
those that have sprung from atheism
and infidelity. The fool believes every
thing or nothing—the bad only that
which agrees with their evil inclina
tions while the wise and good only in
spite of self-denials and humiliations
and personal interests,, diligently seek
the right and heroically do it even to
their hurt. The first never care to
enquire—the second are never faith
ful to their own conscience and duty—
the last never ceases their search
after whatsoever is honest and truth
ful, and when found, consider it a
treasure which no wealth or power
can purchase or subdue.
The historian tells us that on his
way from Egypt to France, the Great
Napoleon was sitting one night on
deck, surrounded by some of bis offi
cers, the vessel at the time cutting the
tranquil and blue waters of the Medi
terranean. The stars, the poetry ot
Heaven, were overhead in all their
glory. The officers were man anima
ted argument about the existence of a
God and the final destiny of the soul.
One, more insolent and ignorant than
the rest, approached the mighty con
queror and lawgiver and asked him if
he belived in a God? Tie grey-eyed
man stretched forth his finger, pointed
to the great dome overhead fretted
with golden fire, and with that quick*
concentrated energy which toppled
thrones and empires, asked—“ Who
made that?” The atheist was answer
ed and wilted, and although it may be
more difficult to silence the infidel,
still may we not hope that when he
thinks on the mysteries of his own
birth, life and death, that poor feeble
reason must need some other support
—that there are more things in Heav
en and Earth Ilian is dreamt of in
philosphy—that the resurrection of
the dead is naturally no more difficult
to understand than the breath of the
living may wo not trust with the hum
ility of a child he too will seek, find,
knock aud enter, ask and receive.—

lilrs. Davis and Mr. Greeley—
A Truthful Scrap of History.
The accompanying communication
comes from a source of the most un
questionable authenticity, and reflect
honor upon the nominee of the Cin
cinnati Convention. No true South
ron can peruse it with unmoistened
eye, and the rebuke to Air. Yooihees
is most withering and complete:—
Jfaeon Telegraph.
Editors Tcleg•aph A Messenger:
Air. Yoorhees, in his recent attack on
Mr. Greeley, styled his signing of
Air. Davis’ bond “an impertinent in
terference.” Allow me to give you
the true history of that matter as I re
cently learned it in New York, from a
gentleman who knew all about it.—
Airs, Davis went to New York to con
j suit Charles O’Connor, Air. Davis’
| counsel, as to the best manner of es
( fecting his release from prison. Air.
O’Conner told her that in his opinion
there was but one way that it could
be done, and that was to get the rep
reseutative man of the Republican
party to sign his bond. Airs. Davis
inquired who that man was. Air.
O’Conner replied chat it was Horrace
Greeley. She then asked him if he
would see Air. Greeley and get him to
do it. ITe replied that he had no in
fluence with Mr. Greeley, and that she
was the proper person to see him. She
said she would go and see him. She
went to Lis office, sent in her card and
was invited into his private office. She
said to him : “Air. Greeley, my
band is a casemate at For
tress Alouroe. lie has been there for
many long weary months, lie is a
feeble old man, and he is gradually
sinking under bis rigorous imprison
ment. lie will die if he remains there
much longer. I came here to consult
Air. O’Connor as to the means of get
ing him released, lie has told me
that there is but one way to do it, and
that is to get the representative man
of the Republican party to sign bis
bond and says that you. are that man.
He lias advised me to apply to you.
lie says that you have a kind heart,
and that you wifi do it if you believe
it to be right. My husband is dying.
Air. Greeley,, may I hope that you will
favorably considerfiuy application.”
Air. Greeley arose, extended his
hand to Mrs. Davis, and said: “ Mad
am, you may, for I will sign his bond.’’
Mr. Greeley was then a prominent
candidate before the Legislature for
the United States Senate. Some of
his friends heard that he had agreed
to sign Air. Davis’ bond. They went
to him and protested against it. They
told him that they had made a count,
and that he would be elected by six
majority, but that if he signed this
bond, it would defeat him. lie re
plied “ I know it will.” They told
him that he was one of the owners of
the Tribune, and if lie signed this
bond lie would lose thosands of sub
scribers. lie replied “ I know it.”
They said, “Mr. Greeley, you have
written a history, of the war, one vol
ume you have out, and have sold large
numbers of it. Your second volume
is nearly out and you have large or
ders for that. If you sign this bond,
these orders will be countermanded
and you will lose a large amount of
money.” lie replied, “Gentlemen, I
know it, but it is right and Til do it."
He did do it, and lam informed that
he lost a seat in the United States
Senate, and over thirty thousand dol
lars.
To my mind this does not look like
“ impertinent interference.
Give us a house furnished
with books rather than furniture.
Both, if you can, but books at any
rate. To spend several days in a
friend’s bouse, and hunger for some
thing to read, while you are treading
on costly carpets, sitting upon luxuri
ous chairs, and sleeping upon down,
is as it you were bribing your body
for the sake of cheating your mind.
Books are the windows through
which the soul looks out. A house
without books is like a room without
windows. A book is good company;
it is full of conversation with out lo
quacity. It talks to you, not through
the ear, but another, way.
