Stokes, the alleged murderer of James Fisk, Jr., lias related the following to a re porter. -As God shall judge me. I did not ex - pect to meet Janies Fisk that Saturday a! ter noon ; X had no idea ot coming across him at all that (lay; I had not seen him before for some time, and had heard that he was still sick of the small pox. I was at the Grand Central Hotel with some friends looking for other friends, and 1 was rambling to and fro about the hotel when I met him accidently—by the mol est accident, so help me God !” [lbis last sentence very solemnly.] -1 had been seldom to the Grand Central Hotel ; only three times before in my life, I believe, and only once before in the second story ; so that X knew nothing about the interior of the hotel at all. While rambling around I met James Fisk, and he met me; we met face to face and the moment lie saw me lie put his hand in his pocket. He had Ills pistol ready. I saw it just ns plain as I see that seal skin cap of yours on your knee there More plainly, for the light was much bl ighter and clearer there than it is here. 1 raised my pistol ; he fired and I fired, and I knew no more, so great was in}- excitemet, until they brought me into the presence of Mr. Fisk. Kven then 1 did not know that he was wounded, lie seemed calm enough, and was half sitting on u sofa. He never said I Shot him or ki'led him, or anything of the kind. lie merely said to the officer who asked him if lie recognized me. ‘Yes, I know tin man; it is Mr. Stokes 'Nothing more. lie even looked at me somewhat in his old fashion. I think —sadly, yet not angrily,al most tenderly. X felt almost like making friends with him then, hut he waved his hand, and they took me away: and I never knew anything about that wound in the abdomen so much about until the next day. I thought all |the time I hud only wounded him slightly, Unit it was a small matter, and I wanted to get on hail at once, I had not the slightest idea of killing James Fisk, and no man was more sorry to hear of his death,for withal! his fault: . Jim had good stuff in him. and no man knew it better than I, for I knew both sides of him. But he was armed that af ternoon, and I shall prove it this time; and shall prove what was done with the pis tol ; prove it to (lie satisfaction of the world this time.” The Collins Axe company of Collins ville, Con., which was started forty six years ago by three men from Hartford, has within the past twenty ye is paid the average dividend of !) 35-100 percent, and now employs 400 men \\ itli a monthly pay-roll of $25,000. Recently at a trial of considerable inter rst in Koine, where the court-room was crowded, the pick pockets let loose a trained bird, which sailed around the heads of the audience, attracting their a 'ention. giving ample time for the pick pockets to relieve the pockets of the audience. - The London Times, in speaking of the death of Greeley in connection with polit ical events, says -His death comes as a sudden and affecting close of the whole discussion. It is like the hush which fnlls on the battlefield when the silent stars come out and seem to look in reproachful pity on our strife.” flluron Pail I Pntrrpriar. Tonus. The Great Value of Observation of the Transit, Stellar Photography. From tin- Nt-w York Tribune.] A Washington cor-respondent fin nixlics us with some particulars of the prelimi nary proceedings with refi-miic to obser vations on the transit of Ycmis—an event to take place December 8,. 1,-71. It will be recollected Unit a small appropriation has been made by Congress for this pur pose. The great interest which is fell by scientific men ail over I lie world in ob taining a series of observations of this listed!. ft more tlinn justified by the r.-iiity of it,e i- (iii. and its importance in l’liiu hilling iili-i-iii'iners with actual measures of celestial distances. These transit oc cur at alternate intei vuls of eight or more than a hundred years. The last was in 1 S<>!); the next will be in 1F74; one follows in If.-'J, hut after that there will he none till -hill The dis tance of the earth from the sun, which transit ohscivutions give the best munis of determining, is used as the unit of incasiiie in astronomy. It is one of ilic most ill ns Irative evidences of the inconceivable spa ccs with which that science deals, .but when the whole diameter of the earth's orbit is used ns a base line, we yet can scarcely perceive tiie parraliax oftlie near est fixed star. That is to say, that although the motion of the earth around the sun alters tin- I'm mei s position in space more than I SO,0(10,000 miles iu six iiion.lhs.it lots only been w ith tlie most accurate oil srrvuiions, and the best of instruments that the dill'eieuce of the apparent posi tion of any of the stars, which results from such a change of place on the part of the observer, lias been detected and measured. The distances of the members of the solar system have been ascertained principally upon this basis, and and astro nomically reckoned as being such and such proportions of the radius of the earth's .orbil : the calculations being largely fa ciliated by Kepler's law, w hich lie at the foundation of the doctrine of gravity. It isdifficull to give ill a few words even an approximate motion of the process ol calculations liy which observations on the transit of Venus arc made available for measuring our distance from tlie sun. Nevertheless, we shall make the attempt. If a person seated in a room within a lew vaids of ail open window, seould hold lior ri/.outally and levcljjwilh his eyes a sheet of paper, and draw upon it from each eye a line toward someone point on a buil ding on Hie opposite side ol the street, say a distance of one hundred feet, his results would not be unlike those of astronomers when attempting to obtain by direct ob servation the distance of the sun. He w ould have the distance between his eyes, as the base of a triangle ; but the two lines upon his sheet of paper toward the object would flow toward each other so slightly- that he would find great difficulty in estimating--'their rate of approach, or, in other words, in measuring the auglfe which the sides of his triangle form with its base So. though astronomers may take the whole diameter of the earth as a base line. anil observers on opposite sides of the globe may furnish their angular measure ments of lines drawn towaid the sun, these lines will he found so nearly parallel that a mistake in observation to the extent of the thickness of a hair seen at the dis tance of a mile makes an error in calcula tion of tiie distance of the sun 35,000 miles. But now iT the observer at the window closes it and selects a bar of tiie sash for an intermediate point of obsi i valion, lie limy draw lines Ironi his eyes toward Hie bar which will nppioneli each other so rapidly that their angle is easily measura ble. Looking with one eye and then with the other, he will sec tiie bar projected on tiie building opposite, in two dilfercut pla ces. He may measure the apparent space between these places, and can be certain that all the parts of a triangle of which that apace is the base and the bar the apex are exactly proportionate to those of the measurable triangle of which tiie space be tween his eyes is the base. If, now, he has the means oftlie proportion which Ills distance from the opposite building,bears to the width of tiie street, lie will have no difficulty in calculating by tin; rule of three his absolute distance from that buil ding and ascertaining all its visible di mensions. The liar of the sneli represents in tiie larger problem, the planet in transit. Kepler's laws, and innumerable observu lions, Imve already pmvided the propor tion ot the earth's orbit to that of Venus. Difference of time aim the motions of the earth uml the planet add to the intricacies hut not to tiie difficulties of calculation. But it is evident that stations for observu lion in tlie track, or shadow of tire transit need to he wide apart, so as lo give a long base line measurement. Within a few years, and notably iu the eclipse observation.' of L-oift. American astronomers have taken tire lead in the use of stellar photography,maps have been obtained that meet the precise tests of mi crometrical measurement. The difficulties wcie enormous Iu taking pliologrrphs the most delicate clock work must carry Hie podcrous instruments in a direction contrary to the motion of the earth before exposure. Very slight differences of tem perature, to say nothing of tiie heat ac companying an image of tiie sun, modify Hie movement, us well as the shape of the instruments and a carefully adjusted focus which must he aclinic, not visual. The highest order of skill and patience were called forth iu the construction of the photographic len ; the story of that is alone, .a history. It remains only to be said that while photography is to play tiie most prominent part in tiie observations of the transit. Us use for this purpose is largely due to the unobtrusive labors of a private citizen, who lias teen content to devote ids time and wealth to celestial pliotogaaphy. without other reward than tiie satisfaction which the successful pur suit of science a fiord. —♦ ♦ A II old lady who hud beard that a young friend had lost a place by a mUndemennor uncharitably observed that there was aliers a woman at the bottom of it- — Miss Cox, formerly a San Francisco belle, who was left with a large fortune by tbe death of her lover, is now an inmate of the insane asylum on Blackwell s Island. MACON, GA., THURSDAY, JANUARY 2. IS tt. A FORGOTTEN DUEL BETWEEN NAVAL OFFICERS. HOW A OIIKAT IIP 1,1 ,Y MKT HIS MATCH. A late spasmodic revival of the so called Code of Honor iu some of the Southern Stab's —though w ith more of a fureial life assurance aspect than in tiie earlier tragic interpretation--litis inspired certain Yir giniau magazinists and editors to make retrospect, of the iron days of fifty or sixty years ago. when a challenge to combat meant something mine serious than the wild, planetary pistoling of two inebriated carpet-knights Thus, the Norfolk Month ly Visitor refers with melancholy itdmira lion to tiie typical affair between the lia vul olliei rs. McKnight and Lawson, oeeur ling just before the late war with Kiig loud, when Ike American soldier or sailoi —but pailicularly the latter—felt it in cumbent upon lies professional honor to counterbalance die contracted proportions of tiie national armament by all possible increase of the fatality of its individuals.— As given b.v the magazine mentioned, and subsequently amended by a critical corres pondent thereof, the story of the all'air in | question may be condensed for the news paper leaders in t lie following term-: —| Lieutenant McKnight, a half brother of Commodore Decatur, was a duellist by the same fatality Ihirt makes a man a gamester In the slitting of men's pas sums that they might become his prey there was for him a baleful fascination which be never cared to analyze nor wished to icsist. Once lasting human blood, in the amateur slaughter tolerated by a barbarism of crude society, the com bined exultation and despair of the irrevo cable deed overwhelmed all his capacity for moral protest, and lie became the dead ly enemy of bis species Irrevocably a criminal, tiie duellist sees no place for him in life save that which he can terror ize for himself, and in tiie desperate main tenance of that place he mocks at every plea of the tenderness and pity reserved tor happier men. MeKnijflit was tiie most notorious duel ist of li is day, a perfect and dexterous master of tiie fatal code, and the slayer of no less than six antagonists. To be a subordinate officer upon tiie same vessel with him was either to endure his harsh manner* wft.li craven submission or he challenged to almost certain death ; and hence, in 17—, when Lieutenant Richard X.aw.son, a young Virginian from Princess Anne County, found himself assigned to this man's ship for a three year's cruise iu the Mediteranean lie knew, from fame and iiis brother officers, what to expect, Scarcely had Unit ship, sailing from Nor folk, dropped down the Narrows between Forts Norfolk and Nelson (the latter work occupying tiie site of the present Naval Hospital.) when the dreaded Lieutenant selected llie new-comer from amongst oilier associates at the mess table with him for one of his characteristic sallies of rude ness. Law son bore tiie provocation admi rably until it increased to grossness, and then suddenly left the table. Being re minded subsequently by his friends that he must either tight or ha branded as a coward, hs replied that he hud no *ther intention ; had anticipated the inevita ble insult and its consequences, and slTould surely take vengeance upon tiie bully- at tiie right lime. The ship reached the Jlediteiaueau in due course, and cruised for the appointed term ; yet still tiie junior Lieutenant bore the necessary con tempt of tiie men who had wantonly given him tiie lie, and was apparently re-signed to bear it. It was noted how ever, that every opportunity of going ashore, lie withdrew from tiie merry makings of his party, and, in company with one chosen friend, retired to some se eluded spot. This, as became known thereafter, was to practice with pistol and broadsword Finally, the cruise being ended and the vessel ordered home, Uieli ard Lawson availed himself of the after noon in Hie port to cliunge suddenly his whole demeanor towards McKnight and assume the aggressive. “ What do you mean, sir y" asked tiie surprised and infu riated dead-shot at last “I mean sir, ” retorted the other, “Hint I understand your character us a’ducllist, know thatyou have killed six men, and believe that, despite all, you are a coward !” This speech, of course, forced tiie professional fire-eater to become the challenging party, which was exactly what tiie Virginian wanted, and gave him the choice of weapons, lime and terms. JSearly on the morning of sailing day the two men went ashore,accompained by their seconds, to fight tiie long delayed battle. The terms of meeting was that each of the principals should carry a pair of pistols in a belt at ids waist, have a pistol in eaeli hand, and wear a broad-sword at his side. Distance twenty yards, at a sig- I ustl Huy weieto advance upon each oilier ; firing as rapidly us possible; engaging each | other finally at close quarters with (lie swords.should lr< it ii survive to that point, Iu accordance with tins plan, dictated by Lawson, llieduellist confronted his seventh man at last, and was by him shot dead in his tracks at the first fire. Tiie victor, mourning his victory, resigned ills cotn . mission upon tiie the return of his ship to I .Yorfolk, and after a brief career of moody i retirement in his old home, sought to lose : Hie memory of wlml he had done byjoin -1 ing the army (ill HI2) to fight the British.
