In the latter part of the year 184 —a duel was fought in the neighborhood of London, between a Lieutenant Beifont at'l the head of a mercantile house ianted Gray (for obvious reasons the tames are fictitious), iu which the lat ter was shot through the lieu-t, and as. tnon the examination of the seconds bi-fore the police magistrate, foul play had been aliened on the part of llie vieior, our virtuous town rang with indignation, the seconds were commit ted, afterward tried at the Old Bailey, and 1 believe sentenced to death for murder, although that sentence was afterward commuted to a lengthened imprisonment with hard labor. As lor the lieutenar.% notwithstanding the gov ernment offerWl a large reward for his capture, lie <n%ged to escape, and lor tnnate it was it\ him ; lor had lie been' taken, such indignation of the public, there ca\ be little doubt but that his fate woultVhave been as ignom inious death. \ Some days after be trial of the sec onds, and while metropolis stil 1 feasted upon the tr:yj e topic, I dined with mv friend CrawlVd, M. D., form erly of the British At'xiliary Legion, but then living in the irAnediate neigli borhood of Blackfriars Bridge, where by advice gratis between |() and 4, the appointment of parish \joctor, and indefatigable attempt to Establish a general practice, he was endeavoring to gather sufficient crumbs to supply the daily wants of a very (Jraw tord, and some half dozen, smal’er Crawfords, rising in hight fronvtwo to lour and a half feet. One iteutofhis practice, and one which hears more particularly upon mv tale, wa( the recovery of those half-drowned petkons so frequently dragged from the fiihy water, to whom, when taken to \he “George,” a water-side public houV. where the drugs are kept, it was my friend’s duty to attend. i Now, as the duelist, Beifont, had\ served in Spain at the same time with my friend, the conversation after din ner very naturally turned upon the late tragedy, upon every point of which, being well “coached up” by the news papers, and holding the general opinion of fouLplay, I modestly asserted that Beifont was a murderons rascal, and hoped he would soon be taken, To my surprise Crawford, with indignant countenance, exclaimed. ‘lt is a lie, a base lie. Ii is llie old story. ‘Give a dog an ill name and hang him.” “You speak warmly, tny friend,” ••l do—and mean warmly, for there is not a quiet* r or more gentlemanly fellow upon God’s earth than poor Beifont.” •You know him, then V ‘I did, I do. We were in the same regiment, indeed we are fellow towns men.’ ‘llis, then, most have been a strange history. It is not often that men of the character yon describe are confirm ed, nay, professional duelists. * ‘lt is a strange history, but listen and you will also admit that it is both cruel anu sad.’ George BelfQtit (said mv friend), be* ing the orphan son of a distinguished Peninsular c.flicer, had from his child hood been led to expect a commission in the British service, without purchase. As however there were hundreds a waiting the same position who, if with out equal claims, possessed superior interest, poor George at 21 years of age remained still an expectant. Disgusted, therefore, with dancing attendance at the Military Secretary’s levees, George, like many other men languishing for employment, rejoiced at the chances of active military life of fered bv the British Legion, then fight ing in Spain (or constitutional govern ment; and as it was to me he was indebted for the introduction which led to his obtaining a commission, upon his arrival at the depot at Santander, he applied, and got himself attached to ‘ours.’ For the first 12 months, as you are aware, the duels between the English officers became so frequent, that ‘who’s been out?’ formed a certain item in the morning greeting. In our regiment, for some time, a duel had been a raritv ; ibis was, perhaps, owing to our fel lows. who were the most gentlemanly, dashing set of fellows in the Legion, foi having the commander-in-chief for full colonel we weie considered a crack corps. In one action, however, both officers and men were so fearfully hit that it soon became necessary to incorporate another regiment with our poor, deci mated corps, and then came a change. \Ve had anew colonel, an Irishman, of the name of O’Dragon; a fire-eating, brave old hov he was, but tyrannical, and given to pets, oneot whom was bis own son, a short, stout, bull-headed, red haired boy, who from beneath the tails of his fathei’s coat bullied the whole regiment. Hated by all, he was nevertheless toadied by a few who preferred comfort to independence, and his chief toady was a captain Gray, from whom he was rarely separated. Being, like most spoilt children, ma licious, quarrelsome, an 1 mischievous, Bdly soon established a few chronic misunderstandings with bis brother of ficers. notwithstanding which, he had never been ‘called out,’ for regarding him as tn insolent boy, who by his influence with his fattier pssessed much power to make them miserable, the officers ridiculed, rather than took of fense at, his petty impertinences. Contrasted with this whelp, ’was George Beifont, whose good nature, gentlemanly bearing, unflinching stead iness at fatigue duty, made film a great favorite, to the disgust of Little Biliy, who lost no opportunity of offering him every little petty annoyance. He did so, too, without much apprehension, lor George nad publicly declared his abhorrence of dueling to be so great, that no insult should compel him to go l)ut, except it might be with the quarter staff. 'Faking advantage of this resolution. Billy accused George of cowardice, whereupon the latter, to prove the con trary. soundly belabored him in the presence of several of his brother offi cers. The little fellow immediately challengtd him, and being refused, ran to his papa, when the fire-eating old Dragon praised his boy for exhibiting the family pluck, and intimated to George that after having so grossly insulted his cub, lie must either ‘go out’ or ‘gooff.’ i. e. leave the regiment. George accepted the latter alternative, and, would have resigned, but there was a chance of fighting, the enemy were making advances, and s*. .he remained till he should have proved before fiis officers in the field that his objection to dueling was based upon principle and did not arise irom cowardice. Some weeks or so aftpr this, were ordered to take up a position in a vil lage not far from the town of San Se bastian, and as ill-luck would have it, myself, Bellont, and Biliy were billeted at the house of the Alcaide, w ith Gray at the next house, forming as vou may Imagine, anything but the happiest family party. It was while at this billet that an event happened which led to the iuin of Beifont. The Alcade had a very pretty black-eyed daughter with whom Biilv chose to fail in iove, but who, loving the British uniform generally, rather than any individual wearer in particular —at least, so I thought at the time —coquetted and flirted sometimes with Billy, sometimes with Gray, and frequently, although I could see greatly to his annoyance, with Beifont. As to the flirtations wtih Gray, that worthy, not wishing to offend Billy, for fear of (getting out of the colonel’s good books, Aimed on so silly that the whole of Billy’s jealousy fell upon the man who had thrashed him. Billy, therefore,set to work with Jus papa, and got Beifont moved to the headquarters of the regi me lit in town It was late in the evening, George had left the billet, and I was pacing before the door, meditating upon those miseiable pettinesses which produce the greatest miseries of life, then Billy O’Dragon’s servant ran against me. t'o!‘ i2I* f s ;‘qU.ljdvgi.' I exclaim- ‘Faith, an’ 1 axes your honor’s par don, but it’s looking alter the master I am, your honor,’ end the fellow, touch ing his cap. ‘is he not the officer of the guard for the night V i said. ‘Faith, an’ ye may he, your honor, hut he’s gone raving mad all the same nor that, for here’s the devii to pay and nobody to take the riekoning.’ ‘What the deuce do you mean,’ you scamp ?’ said 1. ‘Mane, yer honor, why the big-wig’s daughter, the Senora Marina, hasjist run away thin, and nobody knows where.’ Astonished as I was st this informa tion, I still said. *but what in the world can this have to do with vonr officer?’ ‘Faith, then, it’s all to do with the master’s honor, for lie's just run alter Mister Beifont, whose done the dirty trick of dialing him out of his two hootv tlacli eyes.’ ‘Beifont run away with the girl ! pshaw, it was too absurd,’ and L turned a way to make inquiries about her. — First and toreniost 1 went to Gray’s billet; to my surprise 1 found he was absent upon night leave; however, the story of the girl’s abduction soon prov ed true enough, lor the Alcalde, the old lady who filled the office of Duenna and the servants were running about in the greatest excitement, vowing ven geance upon the ravishers, Beifont and Billy, both of whom, for some unac countable reason, seemed alike to share their suspicious. As I could do noth ing in the matter, l turned in and after vainly endeavoring to unravel the mystery, made up my mind to sleep till roll-call. Scarcely, however, had I closed my eyes than I was awakened by my ser vant bellowing in my ear that an officer had been found murdered in the little wood outside the town. Hastily throwing on my undress and cloak. I mounted mv horse, and in quick time was in the town, when imagine mv horror, upon a table surrounded by officers laid the body ol Gray, pierced through the lur.gs ! •God in Heaven ; gentlemen, how came this ?’ I exclaimed. ‘Ask your friend. Beifont, who al though too cowardly to *go ou',’ can quietly t rtui a comrade through the back,’ said Billy O’Dragon. ‘Liar, this is not possible!’ I ex claimed. ‘Mr. Crawford, you must answer this,’ said the whelp. ‘Gentlemen, this is to serious a mat ter for squabbling,’ said the major; adding to my friend, who stood sternly gaxing upon the body; ‘Air. Bellont, vou are under arrest until this charge is answered.’ •Good Heaven! do you then charge me with murder ?’ exclaimed the as tonished Bellont. Billy O’Dragon’s character was 100 well known lor the officers to credit any statement ofhis against a man with whom he was known to be at enmity ; still the case was fearful. His evi dence teemed incontestable. To wit: Upon missing the senora lie had hast ened. to the town to charge Beifont with CARTE RSYILLE, GA., FEBRTJYRY 14, JBGB. the abduction, when entering the be iore mentioned wood, he had seen the body of Gray prostrate and weltering in blood, anil Beifont standing over him with his sword drawn. ‘L*ar ! bow is this possible ? Sep, mv sword is stainless,’ said Beifont. The officers gazed upon the sword; it was as said, and they rejoiced. •The villain coolly wiped the sword on the grass; I saw him as l approach ed,’ said Billy. ‘I will not answer this liar, nor at tempt to shrink from any inquiry ; but ’ •Mr. Beifont, let me caution you, that what you say now will be used in evidence against vou,’ said the major. ‘I know it. Major, and would have it so; vet flare not i,»r an hour permit this fearful charge to be believed by you — at least without my denial,’ replied Bei font ; and he sternly added : ‘Passing through the wood, I heard shrill screams, as if front a woman, and in stantly, as it flashed across my mind that it might he some of our drunken fellows offering violence to a female, 1 drew mv sword and proceeded in the direction of the erica, where I (bund— but alas! too late to rescue—poor Gray, as you see him. lying upon the green sward weltering in bis blood.’ r l’his story seemed too improbable even for the men who knew the speak er ; they cut led their lips ; and Bellont was handed over to the provost’s guard. An inquiry took place. The evi dence of Billy, who swore he hail seen.l Beifont wiping the blood from his sword, might have been fatal, but !r *m the evidence ot myself and several other medical men, who upon examin ation found that it was not possible for the sword—a saber, given to him by a deceased ftiend in the cavalry—to have inflicted the wound, which was small and triangular and as such evi dently the effect ofa bayonet-thrust This, Belfont’s known character, the want of motive for assassinating a man with whom he had not quarreled and some hesitation noon the part of Biliy, sufficiently exonerated him ; the charge was dismissed. Believing in mv friend, enraged with the malicious yonng scoundrel who would have sworn away his tile, I could not help exclaiming, although 1 had no foundation for my suspicion. ‘Do you know, George, 1 believe Lying Billy himself was the assassin.’ • Why—wherefore? It is scarcely possible.’ ‘They might have quarreled about the senora, who, after all may have been taken away by-Gray.’ ‘lt is not possible, Crawford Dra •m» Gay found. •II so, nothing will excuse your call ing out and shooting the little reptile who would have sworn away your life.’ ‘Nothing shall induce me to fight a duel,’ he said, solemnly. ‘I have promised, I have sworn to one whose beloved father fell in a duel and whose love would be changed to hate. To please a woman many a man lias fought. To please a woman l refuse to tiL'lu, a woman who lias suffered in her deepest affections from tins cursed code of honor, and who, did I braak the pledge, would hold me accursed, and llie meanest thing on the earth. Have I not a reason for my refusal ?’ ‘Enough, my dear friend; and I am not the less pleased to believe that \ our refusal is after all less based upon your promise than upon a settled principle, or amidst such temptations as exist here you could never have sustained it.’ After this sad affair Beifont became an altered man, and although his brother officers endeavored by every attention to show their entire belief in his innocence, he became dull and gloomy—was seldom to be seen at mess—and never among the billiard or monte players where we passed our leisure time. Indeed, bis lie;Jtli was becoming so visibly injured that even Old Dragon, the colonel, now thor oughly unpopular from his son s con duct, besought him earnestly i;o go to England upon sick leave; but neither the entiealies of friends or enemies could prevail upon him to leave the service before the assassin had been discovered, or until he had proved by his gallantry in some well-fought fielJ that he was not actuated by shameful motives in his repugnance to dueling. At length the opportunity he sought tor came. The terrible sth of May, when, by the cowardice of the Span iards, who left the brunt of the action to the English, the majority of our officers were shot down like partridges. 'Throughout that day Beifont fought like a madman ; wherever the cannon ading was the heaviest, or the fire of musketry the hotest, there he was to be found, cheering and leading on his men ; the major, the captains, the lieu tenants were all shot down, leaving the decimated regiment to Beifont—in fart he madly sought death, but seemed to bear a charmed life, and hy his terrible bravery did no little toturn the balance in our favor. Alter this action he moved among his surviving brother officers more proudly, the farcied stain upon his hon or seemed to be wearing away, and he might have legained his happinss but for another insult that wore into his proud heart. Many were the decora* tions distributed for day’s work, but neither cross, medal, or promotion to the bravest man in the service. The colonel had been empowered to recom mend to the general a given number of officers and men. Beifont was purpose ly passed over that a decoration might be given to Billy O’Dragon. This was too much; his passion boiled, the two met at mess, Billy wore his decoration and covertly bullied Beifont. The officers sided with Beifont, warmer Words followed—the young scoundrel I agiin accused him of stabbing Gray.— ‘ Human nature could stand no more; j Billy fell to the ground stunned. Aper such an insult, to remain in the service ami not accept Billy’s challenge was imposible. They met the next day, and the colonel’s son fell dead the first shot. Beifont fled —his brother officers compelled him—knowing that although a court martial would have acquitted him of intentional murder, the persecution he would suffer at the hands of the colonel would have rendered his life in the service both intolerable and dishonerabie. From that fatal dav untill the late unfortunate duel I never saw or heard of my poor friend. “Indeed,” said 1, “1 now believe the poor fellow has, even in this last affair be. n the victim of circumstances*” “1 would swear it,” said Crawlord, warmly. “But, ’ I said, “was it ever discov ered what became ot the senora, or who murdered Captain Gray?” “Stay, l will tell you.” Before, however, Crawlord could satisfy mv curiosity, he was summoned to the “George,” to the aid of a man who had just been taken out of the river, into which he had, either by accident or design, fallen. So as it was late, and 1 had to leave town by’ an early train l shook my friend hy the hand, and went home and to bed. After a month’s absence, during ‘which I had been so importantly en gaged that the deep impression made upon my mind by the duelist’s story had become effaoedM returned to town. 1 immediately called upon Crawford, and finding lain in deep mounting, ex claimed, “Yon are in deep mourning, mv dear fellow ! 1 trust, however, it i3 foi a patient only, not for a frfend or a member of your family.” “For both patient and friend,” he re plied, adding gloomily, “for poor Bel font.’ “Good Heavens ! then vou have heard of him,’ and I turned aside my head, with the false shame that most of us have at the little good in us, for my eyes were filled.’ “Bah! this is womanly; hut I can’t help it,” he said, brushing his own eye with the cuff ofhis coat sleeve; ami so in accordance with the code of civiliza tion, brushing away the outward sym bols of human feeling. lie continued: “you remember your last visit to me.” “I do full well, and she impression left upon my mind for some days by the story of Beifont,” “And that I was called away to visit a half drowned patient.” “Yes,’ I said eagerly. should have been the man we had been speaking of-—Beifont?” “Can it be possible? Then he com mitted suicide.” “Well, 1 will tell you,” said Crawf ord - * * * * Upon reaching the public house. I found the case worse than I iiad expec ted. My patient, when taking his dread leap had fallen into a lighter, at that moment passing through an arch. His frame seemed completely shattered and he was senseless. A minutes ex amination toid me the case was hope less: alas, it told me also that the alien • uated, miserable being before me was mv old Inend, George Beifont. For tunately, however, service m the field teaches one to act first and feel after ward; soon the instant I had the poor fellow taken to my own house, and placed in the bed from which myself and wife turned out, while he remain ed with us. Afraid of the shock that the sight of an old friend might cause I asked a medical acquaintance to attend him. — lie did so for a week, when, although Ins case still remained hopeless it Was thought l might with safety see him. — I shall never forget that interview.— When 1 entered the room he was doz ing—it was the first sleep he had had and I sat down by his side. He awoke. Seeing me, he passed his hand across his eyes, as it to be certain it was not a vision. I placed my finger upon my lips to enforce silence. ‘The Lord in heaven bless you, my dear friend !’ were bis first words, as be placed bis thin white finger in my hand. ‘Hush, George—your life depends upon your not becoming agitated,’ I said. •Agitated ! agitated ! No, my agi tation is now nearly passed. I am calm. I can become but one degree calmer —deed !’ Then he started sud denly, rose up in the bed. looked at me sternly, ‘Crawford, are the hounds near? Tell me —tell me, like a man —where am I ? Are they saving my life to hang me afterward V dlush, George. Upon the word of a man, your existence is net known. You are in my own house.’ •Thank God, my friend V and the borrowed strength failing he fell back ward. At length we succeeded in so far mitigating iiis pain, that when alone lie told me his career from the time ol the duel with ‘Little Hilly.’ I will tepeat tills narrative as pithily as possible. Passing through France to Luglaml, Be I font made his way to the village ol F f where, as so noble and gallant a Inllow deserved, lie was rapturously received by his betrothed, and for a time all seemed couleur (le rose. But the remembrance of the duel with Biliy, alas! cast a shadow over his future.— It had been against his conscience, it hung upon his spirits like a cloud prophetic of a coining storm of retribu tion. He felt he was acting a lie to the woman ho was about to marry' the approaching spring. The spring came, Beffont being in [CONCLUDED ON FOURTH PAGEJ To the Citizens of Bartow andA surrounding Counties. 50 pieces dress goods at 25 per cent less than New York cost, at BLAIR & BRADSIIWS. n g:jf 25 overcoats at New York cost ? at BLAIR & BRADSHAW’S. ■ 20 business suits at NefV York cost, at fj-rr, IFL BLAIR & BRADSHAW’S. mft nrg. nants at New York cost, at BLAIR Sc BRADSHAW’S. 50 vests’ at New York cost, at BLAIR & BRADSHAW'S. iI•~i. 25 pieces heavy cassimere at N.
