Jack&oh’a Duel with Dickinson.
Mr. Parton, in the first volume of his
Life of Jaokson, just issued, gives the
following'graphic description of thedu*
f l in whioh,Charles Dickinson, a youtig
awyer of Tennessee, was killed by Gein
Jackson, ln‘1606. - > :
Dickinson’s second won -the choice of
position) and Jackson’s the offloe of giv
ing the .word. The astute Overton .con
sidered this giving of the word a matter
a matter of great importance, add he
had Already determined how he would
give it, if the lot fell to him. Tboeight
paces were measured off, and the men
placed. Both were perfectly collected.
All the politenesses of such occasions
were very Striotly and elegantly perr
formed, ' Jaokson was dressed in a loose
frock coat, buttoned carelessly over his
chest, and concealing in some degree
the extreme slenderness of his figure.
Diokinson was the younger and hand
somer man of the two. But Jackson’s
tall, erect figure, and the still demean
or, it is said, gave him a -more supe-
rir and commanding air, as he. stood
under the tall poplars on this bright.
May morning, silently awaiting the mo
ment of doom.
“Are you ready ?" said Overton.
“1 am ready.” replied DiokinSqp.
“I am ready," said Jaokson.
The words were no sooner pronounc
ed than Overton, with a sudden shout,
cried, using his old country pronuncia
tion—"Fire 1”
' Dickinson raised bis pistol quickly
and fired. Overton, who was looking
with anxiety and dread at Jackson, saw
a puff of dust fly from the breast of his
coat, and saw him raise his left arm and
place it tightly across his chest. He is
surely hit, thought Overton, and in a bad
place, too; but no—he does not fall.—
Erect and grim as fate, he stood, his
teeth clenched, raising the pistol. Ov
erton glanced- at Dickinson, Amazed
at the unwonted failure of bis aim, and
apparently appalled at the awful figure
and face before him, Dickinson had un-
consoiously recoiled a pace or two.
"Great God 1” he faltered “have I
missed him f”
“Back * to the mark, sir,” shriek
ed Overton, with his hand upon his
pistol.
Dickinsoi^recovered his composure
stepped forward to the peg, and stood
With his eyes averted from his antag
onist. All this was the work of a mo
ment, though it requires many words to
tell it.

very necessary for the cultivation of dif

General Jaokson took deliberate aith,
and pulled'the trigger. The pistol nei
ther snapped nor went off. He looked
at the trigger, and discovered that it
had stopped at half-cock. He drew it
back to its place and took aim a seck-
ond time. He fired. thokinBoii’s face
blanched; he reeled; his friends rush
ed towards him, caught him in their
arms, and gently seated him on the
ground, leaning against a bush. His
trowsers reddened. They stripped off
his clothes. The blood gushed from
his side in a torrent. And, alas 1 here
is the ball, not near the wound, but
above the opposite hip, just under the
skin. The ball passed through the bo
dy, bolow the ribs. Suoh a wound could
net but be fatal.
Overton went forward and learned
the condition of the wounded man.—
Rejoining his principal, he said: “He
wont want anything more of you, Gen'
oral," and conducted him from the.
ground. They had gone a hundred
yards, Overton walking on one side of
Jackson, the surgeon on the other,
and neither speaking a word, when the
surgeon observed that one of Jackson’s
shoes was full of blood.
“My God! General Jackson, are you
hit?" he exclaimed pointing to the
blood.
“0,1 believe,” roplied Jaokson, “that
he has pinked me a little. Let’s look
at it. But say nothing about it there,"
pointing to the house.
He opened his coat, Diokinsoh’s
aim had been perfect. He had sent the
boll precisely where he supposed Jack-
son’s heart was beating. Hut the thin
ness of his body and the looseness of his
coat combining to deceive Diokinson,
the ball had only broken a rib or two,
and'raked the breast,. It was a some
what painful, bad-looking wound, but
neither severe nor dangerous, and he
was able to ride to the house . witlMjnt
much inconvenience. Upon approach
