A DEADLY DUEL. VIRGINIA “BLOODS” FIGHTING OVER A SLIGHTED LADY. MORDECAI AND M’CARTY IN MORTAL COMBAT. and Wit Standing Out n Marked Contrast. Fisticuffs Unsuccessfully Resorted to for a Settlement. Dlood Must Sottlo It, Tho Duellists Vis-a-Vis—The Signal and First Shots—McCarty Still Calls for Blood and Gets It, Both Badly Wounded and Carried Off the Field. i tho New York Herald, 11th. 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. SUMMER RESORTS. DR. J. A.

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.
