llimuoxD, Va., May 10, 1873.
The community here has been more in
tensely excited to-day than . at any other
period since that memorable April day, three
years ago, when the “Capitol disaster” re
sulted in tho sudden hurrying into eternity
of some hundred victims. A sanguinary and
bloody duel, with the almost assured death
of one and the possible permanent injury of
the other participant, occarred almost in the
city limits between two prominent young gen
tlemen, and was alone known to the parties
concerned till after its culmination, and then
to the Chief of Police too late to prevent the
meeting, and to the public not at all till the
appearance of the mere mention of the morn
ing dailies. The duel and its attendant cir
cumstances havo formed the main staple of
conversation in every circle to-day.
A LADY THE “ UNCONSCIOUS** CAUSE.
As nsual in a majority of the disagreements
between men, a woman, one of the reigning
and most beautiful belles, was, unconsciously
doubtless to herself, the corner stone on
which is erected this superstructure of blood.
Among her agencies for social enjoyment,
Richmond possesses a club of some aristo
cratic pretensions, constituted mostly of
young men who consider themselves, or are
considered by others, young bloods. The
members of the club meet at a stately man
sion on the corner of Third and Franklin
streets, and while away their surplus time by
billiards, whist, the Latest scan, mag., and an
occasional indulgence in the German dance.
TAGS li’CABTY THE AGGRESSOR.
Among the members of the Richmond Club
is a young gentleman of elegant leisure.named
Page McCarty. He is of good Virginia
lineage; a nephew of the Virginia Congress
man McCarty, who, some time in the year
1824, fought a duel with muskets at Bladens-
bnrg, with John Thompson Mason, bis
' brother-in-law, a United States Senator from
this State, which resulted in the immediate
death of Mason and the loss of one of MrCar-
tv’s arms. This ancient duel at the time of
its occurrence was remarked as a bloody one.
The first proposition to tie their hands togeth
er and jump off the Capital at Washington
was rejected, and tho scarcely less humane
one accepted to fight at one pace distance
with musket^loaded with an ounce ball and
three buckshot. As might be expected,
Colonel McCarty was never a happy man
_ after that. His hair turned gray in a single
>1?ight, sftd he sought to drown remorse in the
flowing bowl.
THE HISTORY OP TOE TROUBLE.
Some time during the latter part of March,
the Club arranged for a German waltz at
Virginia Hall, in this city, and among the so
cial notabilities who attended was the reigning
belle heretofore alladed to. She and Page
McCarty “had been friends in youth,” but a
difficulty had arisen, and at the time the Ger
man came oflf they did not speak to or recog
nize each other. At the social festivities
which duly came off, one of the masters of
ceremonies, either by accident or design,
placed the estranged parties vis-a-vis, and the
lady had either to produce a scene by the cot
direct or quietly acquiesce in the arrange
ment and dance with her former fiance. She
chose to dance, and former kind relations
were, to all appearances, once more re-estab
lished. While the Club members were revel
ling in the glorious memories of the German,
the friendly master oi ceremonies was doubt
less feliciting himself on reuniting two es
tranged friends. The following ambiguous
and unpretentious poetry appeared in the En-
qniror on the 5th of February:
“THE FIRST FIGURE IN THE GERMAN”—AN EPI
GRAM.
We have received for publication the fol
lowing poem. A loving swain who, doubt
less, has been kicked by his sweetheart:
When Mary’s queenly form I press,
In Strsass’ latest waltz,
I would as well her Ups caress.
Although those lips be false.
For still with Are love tips his dart,
And kindles up anew
The dame which once consumed my heart
When those dear Up* were true.
Of form so fair, of faith so faint,
If truth were only in her.
Though she’d be then the sweetest saint
I’d still feel like a sinner.
MORDECAI THE DEFENDER.
Among tho members of the club was John
J5. Mordecai, au estimable young lawyer of
this city. When the lines appeared, they
were discussed in the club, and the sugges
tion made that they had an individual appli
cation. Mordecai, who was present, said
with generous impulsiveness that he did not
know the author, but if the intent was to rid
icule the young lady whom some deemed to
l»e alluded to, the writer was a scoundrel,
I>oltroon and coward. McCarty, who was
present, then avowed himself the author, and
an impending crisis was then and there only
prevented between the two men by a sugges
tion of the duello as the more satisfactory way
of settling the little difficulty which had so
unexpectedly arisen. While the arrange
ments were being carried out for a meeting,
the police got wind of the affair and arrested
the parties, who were, however, discharged,
the proof of hostile intent on the part of
either being prudently kept in the back
ground.
OPPOSING MAGAZINES OF HATE.
Since then the parties have been in a state
of armed neutrality—opposing powder maga
zines—ready to explode on the application of
the proper fire, but both retaining their mem-
l>ership in the club.
A week since, when the lordly tenement
corner of Franklin and Third streets was
filled with the gay and festive youths who
give erlat to the proceedings of the clnb and
illustrate the German. McCarty, with a friend,
occupied one of the biilard tables. The gAme
seemed suddenly to lose its interest to Mc
Carty, and his conversation turned on per-
1^ difficulties and their proper mode of
t He alladed to the exploits of
his relatives in the duelling line, and his own
lost opportunity of the same sort, and de
clared a similar state of affairs with him would
be followed by a different resnlL At this
juncture, oniortunately, Mr. Mordecai • en
tered the room, and took a seat near the table
on which the science of billiards was not just
then being illustrated in a very brilliant
manner.
MORDECAI TAXES TO THE “MANLY.”
On seeing Mordecai seat himself McCarty,
instead of confining his remarks to his com-
l>anion, if be did not mean to initiate a diffi
culty, raised his voice, and, looking directly
at Mordecai, added to the personality of his
previous remarks to such a degree that the
gentleman was obliged to take notice of them,
lie seemed finally to comprehend that an in
sult wss intended him, and, rising, he ap
proached McCarty and arid, “Are those re
marks intended for me, sir ?'*
Looking him in the face, with affected con
tempt, McCsrty drawled out—“And who are
you. sir?”
Mordecai replied—“I am a gentleman, sir.**
McCarthy directly rejoined (long drawn—
-‘Ah r
If he had intended he did not have the
chance to further intensify any feeling he
may have entertained towards Mordecai, lor
.that individual
STRUCK OUT VIGOROUSLY FROM THE SHOULDER
and McCarthy “went to grass” with tho celer
ity ot a cannon ball on its descending grade.
Mr. McCarthy thereafter resisted to the ex
tent of his capacity, but the result was that
Mordecai inflicted on him quite a heavy chas
tisement. They wero parted by friends and
Mr. McCarthy conveyed to bis lodgings, where
he was compelled from his injuries to remain
in bed for several days.
M’CARTY THIRSTS FOR BLOOD.
Meanwhile an emergent note from him sum
moned to this city Colonel William B. Tabb,
formerly of Amelia, but now of Charleston,
West Virginia. To the Colonel, who is au
fait in such matters, McCarty imparted his
sorrows and desire for revenge. His accom
modating friend supplied the necessary cartel
inviting Mordecai to the field of honor, which
duly received McCarty’s signature, and was
dispatched in accordance with the code.
MOBDECAI WILL FIGHT.
Mordecai, on its reception, took the affair
very coolly, announced his willingness to re
spond in any way, and suggested tho name of
a friend, through whom he would thereafter
receive missives on the subject His friend
and Colonel Tabb seemed to have meant busi
ness from the start, for the seconds, surgeons,
weapons, time, place, Ac., were named with
commendable celerity, and with a quietness
and secrecy truly admirable.
THE COMBAT ARRANGED.
The combat, as arranged, was to take pi ace
at six o'clock, Friday evening, near the line
of the York River Railroad, and not far from
Blakey’s millpond, in the neighborhood of
Oakwood Cemetery; weapons, navy revolvers;
distance, ten paces. Two of the leading sur
geons of the city were engaged to do any
carving consequent on the affair, or extract
any villainous lead that might effect a lodg
ment in the bodies of the belligerants. These
were professor Hunter McGuire, late Stone
wall Jackson's medical director, and Pro
fessor J. S. D. Cullen, late medical director
of Longstreet’s army corps. Not to implicate
these gentlemen unnecessarily in the result of
battle, it was arranged that they should be
posted some distance from the field of battle
and advance only on a given signal.
COMBATANTS AND NON-COMBATANTS ON THE
GROUND.
The friends who went fo*tli with McCarty
to seek the bubble reputation, even at the can
non’s mouth, were Calvin B. Tabb and John
S. Meredith. Those who performed similar
service for Mr. Mordecai were Messers. Wil
liam L. Royall and W. Retnigg. The pend
ing affair had been kept so entirely sub rosa
that the parties had no difficulty in keeping
the scene of action unmolested. If they were
seen it only seemed that they were taking an
evening airing. The men were promply on
the ground at five minutes before six o’clock,
and directly the carriages stopped all who bad
official connection with the ceremonies inci
dent to the occasion proceeded to perform
their allotted share of the evening’s work.
MEASURING THE GROUND.
The traditional ten paces were duly meas
ured off and the principals placed in position.
It may seem singular, but these two gentle
men, who were about to take each other’s life,
bowed to each other with stately grace. The
weapons having been examined and loaded
were handed to the parties. Tho clear voice
of one of the seconds was next heard say
ing:
“Gentlemen, are you ready?"
The briefest pause; then “One, two, three”
were slowly counted.
THE FIRST SHOTS.
Just before the last word was uttered, anj al
most simultaneous report was heard. As the
smoke cleared away both parties were seen
standing unhurt, and immediately the voice
of McCarty was heard demanding a second
fire. This demand precluded any interfer
ence looking to a settlement on tae part of
the friends, and preparations w’ero at once
made for
THE SECOND FIRE.
When the pistols exploded this time both
parties were seen to lurch forward and fall
heavily on their faces. The signal was given
and the surgeons approached as fast as they
could. An examination disclosed the fact
that both parties were seriously—Mordecai,
perhaps, fatally—wounded. A conical ball
had entered McCarty’s hip, a round ball bad
penetrated the abdominal cavity of Mordecai.
JUSTICE TOO SLOW’.
While the seconds and friends wero devis
ing ways to convey the parties from the field
of honor a different scene might have been
witnessed a half mile away—viz: the Chief of
Police, John Poe, urging a foaming steed in
quest of tho duelists over fences and ditches
at fox-chase speed. He came up just as the
surgeons had placed their patients in comfor
table positions. He ordered the seconds to
consider themselves under arrest, and report
and give bail for their appearance before the
Police Justice, after performing the necessary
offices for the wounded men.
This they did. McCarty was conveyed to
his mother’s house in this city-. Mordecai
was taken to the residence of his cousin,
Colonel E. T. D. Myers.
BLOOD TO THE LAST.
A person present relates that while both
men were lying on the ground Mordecai was
heard to say: “He can havo another firo if
he wants it.” Of course, in their situation,
another fire or anything else but stimulants
was out of the question.
Mordecai is a rising young lawyer here,
nephew of Colonel John B. Young, a prom
inent lawyer, and personally very popular
with ail.
McCarty is not so well known, but is also
esteemed by those who enjoy his acquaint
ance.
THE YOUNG LADY
who was the primary but innocent cause of
this useless effusion of blood, is, of course,
in the deepest distress, and has the sympathy
of thousands of friends. She is a blonde,
and has been for several years past the lead
ing belle at tho Greenbrier White Sulphur
Springs—no less lovely in mind than person,
and the queen of many hearts.
, The Herald correspondent, in endeavoring
to obtain the above information, was besot
with innumerable difficulties. Nobody knew
anything about the bloody duel but the par
ticipants, and they of course were unwilling
to tell what they knew. Besides this, your
correspondent was called upon by a number
of gentlemen who requested him to suppress
in part the causes which led to the meeting;
but duty was paramount to every other con
sideration, and I telegraph the fullest details,
which are correct and exact in every particu
lar. The object of the Herald being to tell
the truth without fear or favor I have, in ac
cordance with my instructions, done so in
the present iostance with impartiality.

Dear Sir—In reply to your inquiry, I would
state that my opinion of PETERS’ EUREKA
TANNING PROCESS may be inferred from
the fact that I am now wearing a pair of
boots, the leather of which was tanned by
that process before the same was perfected
and a patent obtained; that the said boots
have now been in wear for the period of three
years—are the most pliable and easy to the
feet of any boot I ever wore, and are in a
good state of preservation yet.

Spalding County. Ga., April 15, 1873.
The undersigned have seen the “ Briuley Shaft Plow ” at work for two days, bedding for cotton, working in
corn and cotton, and have worked it ourselves, and we express our entire satisfaction with it iu every way. It
makes an elegant bed at every trip, and thoroughly pulverizes the land at the same time. After bed-
diug, we plowed down the bed on the water furrow—the place for guano, reversing the bed and covering the
guano at the same time, lu corn planted iu six leet rows, ouo round cleared the row, and left the laud in spleu-
did order, which would have required five furrows with a single plow, thus saving over one-half the labor, and
doing the work equally as well, if not better. Cotton rows lrom three to three and a half feet, were cleared at
| one furrow, which would have required two furrows with any other plow. As a cultivator it surpasses auy-
! thing we ever saw, and for bedding lauds sftc-r being broken, it cannot be suipassed. as it does the work of
three men and raul-s. We cheerfully give it our fullest endorsement and recommendation, as the greatest U-
bor-saving agricultural implement that has ever been on our farms, or in this country. The draft of the plough
is as light as a Dixon Sweep on a single stock—a medium mule carrying it with ease.

The “ Brinley Plough” is adapted splendidly for bedding cotton or corn land, and for tbe cultivation of field
crops. I have made many ploughs, and understand what ploughs ahoti'd do, and unhesitatingly aay that the
•• Shaft Plow ” will do all that is claimed for it as a cultivator, saving the labor of two men and mules.
