The good fortune which man closed hie existence in a very melancholy morose, uncertain and quarrelsome. Excited had attended him in all his affairs, gave him a and impressive manner. Colonel Alexander j ijq 00rf he wsuld exhibit at times a domi- • charmed life, and few were willing to risk their McClnng. a nephew of the venerable and Ulus- ueer ing and overbearing disposition, which lives in such unequal combats. His eubse- trious Chief Justice Marshal, and a gentle- w ith men of equal determination, was sure to 1 man ol the highest order of intelligence, of j ead ^ q 0arre | g ftll( i combats. Even then, brilliant genins, splendid accomplishments, yoong, it was rumored that he : dashing c ®^^8 e and^heroism or i b ad picked his man in Several affairs in Ken- and the most B vu H |BBB | character, committed suicide in the town of : tacky; and in one case to which his unhappy •Tackson, under the following circumstances^ temperament was ascribed, it was said he had slain his own cousin. The first notable affair of the McClungs in Mississippi happened in 1835. A quarrel oc curred at the card table between McClnng and Colonel Allen, a very popular and ele gant gentleman, and member of the bar oi Jackson, Mississippi. A challenge immedi ately passed, and it was agreed that the par ties should meet on the bank ot Pearl river, a few miles from Jackson; that they should be placed flfry yards apart, armed with pistols And bowie knives, and should approach and fire a la discretion. Colonel Allen and friends, among whom I was the late 8. 8. Prentiss, devoted the night produces the finest effect. TV For some weeks before Colonel McCloug was observed to be more than ordinarily moody and Melancholy. The immediate cause of his deepoadcucy was generally understood. Mc- Cluog had always been ambitious of a post in the army, and through some friends ap plied for a position as field officer in one of the new regiment created by the Congress at its last session. 80 far as gallantry and in telligence constituted claims to this position, no one could present stronger pretensions than the heroic Lieutenant Colonel of the celebrated First Mississippi Rifles, who scaled the terrible Black Fort at Monterey the first man, and fell within the walls, severely wounded in several places. Whether he pos- p rece( ]j n g thj 8 affair to hilarity and festivity— sessed the other qualifications for military enjoying themselves with cards and cham command need not be discussed. , I pagne, until a few moments before the time But this was the last throw of McClungs j agreed on for this meeting.
