Tilt’ trinns Ground.
Here, is a beautiful little grass plot, surrounded
by trees, forms, made after the image of God, come
to insult Nature and defy Heaven. In 1814, Ed
ward Hopkins was killed here in a duel. This
seemed to be the first of these fashionable mur
ders on this duelling ground.
In 181i>, A. T. Mason, a United States Senator
from Virginia, fonght with his sister’s husband*
John McCarty, here. McCarty was averse to fight
ing, and thought there was no neorssiy lor it; but
Mason would fight. McCarty named muskets, loa
ded with grape-shot, and so near together that
they would hit heaifs il they fell on their faces.—
This was changed by the seconds to loading with
bullets, and taking twelve feet as the distance.—
Mason was killed instantly, and Met’arty, who had
his collar bone broken, still lives with Mason’s sis
ter in Georgetown. Ills hair turned white so soon
alter the fight as to cause much comment. lie has
since been solicited to act as second in a duel, but
refused, in accordance with a pledge he made to
his wife soon after killing her brother.
In 1820, Commodore Decatur was killed in a du
el by Commodore I’arron. At the first fire they
both fell forward, with their lteads within ten feet
of each other; and, as each supposed himself mor
tally wounded, each fully and freely forgave the
other, still lying on the ground.
* Decatur expired iunqudiately, but Barron even
tually recovered.
In 1821, two strangers, named Lega and Sega,
appeared here, fought, and Sega w as iustantlv killed.
The neighbors only learned this much of their
names from the marks on their gloves left on the
ground. Lega was not hurt.
in 1822, Midshipman Locke was killed here by a
clerk iu the Treasury Department, named Gibson.
The latter was not hurt.
In 1826, Henry Clay fought (his second duel)
with John Randolph just across the Potomac, as
Randolph preferred to die, if at all, on Virginia
soil, lie received Clay’s shot, and then fired into
the air. This was in accordance with a declaration
nude to Mr. Benton, who spoke to Randolph of a
call, the evening before, on Mrs. Clay, and alluded
to the quiet sleep of her child and the repose of
the mother. Randolph quickly replied :
“ I shall do nothing to disturb the sleep of the
child or the repose of the mother.”
General Jessup, whose funeral I attended last
week, was Clay’s second.
When Randolph fired, he remarked :
“I do not shoot at you, Mr. Clay,” and extend
ed his hand, advanced towards Mr. Clay, who rush
ed to meet him. Randolph showed Clay where
his ball struck his coat.
Clay replied :
“ Tlwnk God the debt is no greater!” They
were friends ever after.
In 1832, Martin was killed bv Carr. Their first
names are not remembered. They were from the
South.
In 1833, Mr. Key, son of Frauk Key, and broth
er to Barton Key, of Sickles notoriety, met Mr.
Sherborn, and exchanged a shot, when Mr. Slier
born said:
“ Mr. Key, I have no desire to kill you.”
“No matter,” said Key, “I came to kill you.”
“Very well, then,” said Sherborn, “ I will kill
you.” And he did.
In 1838, W. J. Graves, of Kentucky, assuming
the quarrel of Jas. Watson Webb, with Jonathan
Cillev, of Maine, selected this place for Cilley’s
murder; hut the parties learning that Webb, with
two friends, Jackson and Merrell, were armed and
in pursuit, for the purpose of assassinating Cilley,
moved toward the river, but missed the parties and
then returned to the city, to which they were soon
followed by Graves and the corpse of Cilley.
In 1845, a lawyer named Jones fought with and
killed Mr. Johnson.
In 1851, R. A. lloole and A. J. Dallas had a hos
tile meeting here. Dallas was shot in the shoul
der, but recovered.
In 1852, Daniel and Johnson, two Richmond ed
itors, held a harmless set-to here, which terminat
ed in coffee.
What Wk ark Made ok —The following is from
an article bv O. W. Holmes :
If the reader of this paper lives another year,
his self-conscious principle will have migrated from
his present tcuement to another, the raw materials
even of which are not yet put together. A por
tion of that body or which is to he, will ripen in
the Corn of the next harvest. Another portion of
his future person he will purchase, or others will
purchase for him, headed up in the formof certaiu
barrels of |*>tatoes. A third fraction is yet to be
gathered in the Soutliern rice field. The limbs
with which he is then to walk will then bectyd with
flesh borrowed front the tenants of many stalls
and pastures, now unconscious of their doom.
Tin* very organs of speech with which he is to
talk so wisely, plead so eloquently, or speak effec
tively, in net first serve his huruble brethren to
bleat, to bellow, and for all the varied utterance
of bristled or feathered harp yard life. His bones
themselves are to a great extent, in posse and not
ease. A bag of phosphate of lime, which he has
ordered from I’rof. Mapes for his grounds, contain
ing a large part of wlmt Is to be his skeleton. And
more than all this, and by far the greater part of
hia body is nothing at all but water, the main sub
stance of his scattered members is to be looked for
in the reservoir, in the running streams, at the
bottom of the well, in the clouds that float over his
head, diffused among them all.
4ii important Railroad Extension—tin
cinnatti aud ihr Sunlit.
A hagaeioua and very intelligent business man
of (’hattarfoog.i-sends us the following article from
the Cincinnati*!' amLremarks ? 44 The
subject i* one of deep it lie rest to all Georgia.—
With this Rflfiil Guilt, your State would satj* the
cost of it fit lw;o or three yean io the price of

ChaUitmmga, in Tennessee, stands in relation to
the Railway systems ot ihe Southern Stales, very
much as does Ci-psjline, in Ohio ; AILanV; in New
York ; Springfield, in Massachusetts ami Harris
burg, in i’ennaflviHini, lo Eastern net works of
rail. Chattanooga is easily accessible from all
points South of the Ohio river, and is the best of
places to “ start from” for whatever destination,
of all points in the commercial horizon with w hich
the great manufacturing oity of the Ohio ought to
bo in direvt railroad connection, we should n.vme
Chattanooga first. With a perfected raH line to
that growing centre for distribution, we could
place our wares at the most desirable stations in
Kentucky, Tennessee, the C&rolinas, Georgia, Ala
bama and Mississippi.
W'e have before U3 a letter from a business man
in Chattanooga, to a Provision House in this city
in which the value of a Chattanooga and Cincin
nati Railroad is- forcibly expressed, ‘•’he line
would be from Cincinnati to Lexington, now in
operation, thence to Danville, partly graded and
in operation to Nicholasville, from Danville nearly
due South through a depression in the Climber
land Mountains to Montgomery in Tennessee,
thence along the Cumberland slopes and the Eme
ry river to the Valley of the Tennessee river, and
down the valley to Chattanooga. Engineers pro
nounce this route as the most favorable in the
whole Cumberland range—the distance from Dan
ville, Kentucky is 175 miles. In any plan for
building this road, Cincinnati being the most deep
ly and directly interested, would have to take a
liberal initiative, aud we believe that the Georgit
Railroads and the people along the line migha
readily be induced to carry the balance.
Nearly all tlie provisions, hollow-ware, clothing
aud furniture trade now existing between Cincin
nati and Georgia is carried via New Orleans or by
the seaboard with considerable disadvantage to
both producers and consumers. It may be thought
that this trade could bejaccommodated by a Knox
ville connection with the East Tennessee and Geor
gia Road, but the trouble is that .the latter is so
eutirely dependent on its local trade for support,
that its policy could never harmonize with any pro
rata arrangement with a Northern line—the two
interests must antagonize, and this is almost al
ways the case with roads meeting each other at
right angles, or not having the same general di
rection. What is wanted, is a North and South
road, the interests of which will naturally harmo
nize with the Georgia Companies.
The feeling of Southern Tennessee as to the en
terprise and their view of the prospect for return
freights we will give in the language of the letter
already referred to.
Ilog products are not all you could supply to this
large and wealthy consuming district; but wheat,
flour, whisky, potatoes, and in fact every product
of your country, enters largely into the consump
tion of this district; and Tennessee cannot supply
the one-fourth part of its wants ; the cheaper then
you omn afford to lord those cotton growers, the
less they will attempt to raise themselves.
A charter is already granted in Tennessee, and
yon have only to inform yourselves of the practi
cability of tlie route, and then with the aid of the
citizens along the line to effect an organization,
and when you have oblaiued such subscriptions as
you are able to do ; then come at the meeting of
the next legislature iu Georgia, and first ask a sub
scription on the part of the W. A A. R. R., the
first you would encounter, and which would be
more beuefitted than any other, and which is per
fectly aide to subscrilie sl,tHH>,t*oo, and pay it
within live years with its present net earnings ;
there wonl.l be no trouble then to got liberal sub
scriptions from the Georgia, Macon A Western
and Central roads.
But Hie inquiry may be, what will we do upon
our road for return freights? In Kentucky no
answer is required ; but what have we in Tennes
see Unit can be profitably hauled to Cincinnati ?
The Tennessee Valley from here to the mouth of
Emery River, near Kingstown, abounds more in
coal and iron than any other district in the State,
and Peunsylvanians, now here, say, to a greater
exteut than in any part of our Uncle's dominions.
The crude material then, of these prolific mines,
would furnish cheap iron to your prosperous aud
growing manufactories. But no one can tell all
the various items that arc to spring up, affording
traffic until a road is put in operation.
Take Care of Tour Eyes.
One of the most eminent American divines, who
had for some time been compelled to forego the
pleasure of reading, has spent some thousand dol
lars in vain, and last years of time, iu consequence
of getting up before day, aud studying by artifi
cial light. Ilia eyes will never get welL Multitudes
of men and women have made their eyes weak for
life by the too free use of their eyesight in reading
fine print and doing fine sewing. In view of these
things, it will be well to observe the follow ing rules
iu the use of the eyes:
Avoid all sudden changes between fight and
darkness.
Never begin to read, write or sew, for several
minutes after coming from darkness to a bright
light.
Never read by twilight, or moonlight, or on a
very cloudy day.
Never read or sew directly in front of the fight,
or wiudow or door.
It is best to have the light fall from above obli
quely, over the left shoulder.
Never sleep so that, on the first awakening, the
eye shall open on the window.
Do not use the eyesight by light so scant that it
requires an effort to discriminate.
The moment you are instinctively prompted to
rub the eyes, that moment cease using them.
If the eye lids are glued together on waking up,
do not forcibly open them ; but apply the saliva
with the finger—it is the speediest dilutant in the
world; then wash your eyes and face in warm wa
ter. — Hall'* Journal of Health.
Do Something.
It is truelv a mclancholly spectable to see so
many drones in the great and busy bive of human
life. We daily see young men of education, and
who possess more than ordinary natural gifts,
lounging about as listlessly as if there was nothing
iu the boundless universe worthy of their attention,
llow utterly lost to manhood are many sons of
wealthy parents! No ambition, no hope, no ar
dent desire, ever spurs them on to leap from ob
scurity into the broad daylight of lasting renown.
Their lives, which should be full of noble achieve
ments, are dawdled away in unholy dissipations.—
If such is to become the universal effect of wealth
on the rising generation, it were far better that
poverty should forever be the handmaid of our
sons and daughters. In the name of common hu
manity, we call on all young men to do something.
Do not sneak from the cradle of infancy, to the
coffin of oblivion, without, at least, one great effort
to prove that you have not lived in vain. Remem
ber, that fame and honor are never achieved with
folded arms and “ masterly inactivity.” When the
sublime wisdom of common sense taught Columbus
there was anew world, he did not preach his belief
with idle hands or lack lustre eye. The wonderful
discoveries in science and art were not made by
men who regarded life as a holiday of idleness. II
you would achieve fame, if you would win the ap
plause of your fellow-men, if you would gain your
own self-respect, then in the name of all that is good
and sacred, we call on you to go to work and do
something.
Another “Race” in South America.— lt is
stated that there are twenty thousand Chinese coo
lies now in Peru, and the demand continues. The
last cargo of these coolies was landed about a
month since, and they sold for four hundred dol
lars each ; the term of servitude being eight years,
the wages four dollars a month, two suits ol eiothes
in the year and two pounds of rice per day. It
costs the trader about thirty-live dollars to land a
Chinaman on the coast, and as he is pretty certain
of getting three or four hundred dollars for him,
the profits are enormous.
Wars of races have been the great affliction of
South America for a long time. We fancy that
when, by the overiurnings so common on that con
tinent, these coolies receive their freedom they
will complicate the question of races, and raise up
the mongrel elements now existing there still fur
ther.
VOLUME XXXVIII.—NO. 24.
First Babic*.
A somewhat extended observation, and a solita
ry experience, have convinced us that first babies
“have a hard time. Parents must have two or three
children before they know what a hnbv is—know
buw tu treat it, and acquire patience stWiicicnt to
treat it properly. The poor little fellows that have
the misfortune to come along first, have to educate
parents to their task, and in the process they get
spanked, and shaken, and abused. After a man
has three or (our children, lie learns that whipping
or striking a child less than two years of age is
barbarism. We know one “paternal head” who
-truck Ids first child when onlv six weeks old— he
actually-believing that tlw child knew better than
to cry, and that he stopped crying at that particu
lar time because he struck him. We carry certain
notions of children and of family government into
married life, and the first child is always the victim
of notions. Ami not alone of those, for the pa
rents have not learned self-eontrol, and a baby in
wliipped quite as often because the parent is impaa
tient or angry, as because it is vicious or intracta
ble. We intlict on our first children the fioggiijg
we ought to have for our own impatience of fret
fulness. This pounding children before they l>e
eotne, In God’s eye, morally tesponsihle beings
is very strange business. Patience, good people,
unwearying patience ! Don’t wait to learn it until
one of your little ones shall be hidden under the
dtimes.—Sprivif tiehi RepubKchn.
“The World Owe* me a Living,”
tor what young man ? Because you have spent
you time in idleness and squandered your property
iu dissipation. Is the debt the world owes you
“ for value received ;” orate you a poor beneficia
ry that mankind in general has adopted to edu
cate and support ? How have you used and ap
plied the one, two, or five talents that nature f-n
----trusted you with at the start ? How came the
wot Id in your debt? What benefit have you
conferred upon society ? What deeds of charity
have you done for your fellow creatures ? What
benefit conferred upon your race ? How is the
world the better for your having lived in it, or
how have you brought it in debt ? Have you ac
cepted, or endorsed drafts for its benefit payable
in eternity ? or stood security for its welfare here
after ? If none of these, upon what ground is it
indebted to you ? Bring suit for your claim iu
the high court of conscience, and see what j udg
ment will be rendered. The world in your debt—
never. Were it to push its demands against you,
you would be a poor miserable bankrupt. Go to
work. By the sweat of your brow, must you earn
your bread. The world owes you nothing. —Spirit
of the South.
jgf”A nephew of Prince Demidoft has just open
ed a “Napoleonic” museum at the island of Elba.
It consists exclusively of furniture, clothes, and
jewelry having belonged to Napoleon 1. There ia
also a curious autograph written by General Bona
parte to Talma, the actor, at a time when the for
mer was vegetatiug to poverty in Paris. It runs
thus:
“ I have fought like a lion for the republic, my
good friend Talma, and as a reward, she lets me
starve; that wretch Aubry leaves me on the pave
ment, when he might make something of me. I
feel myself more than a match for such generals as
Santerre and Pkossingnol, and they won’t find a cor
uer in Vendee or elsewhere to employ me. You,
indeed, are fortunate! Two hours on the boards
puts you face to face with the public that dispenses
fame. We soldiers must purchase glory at a high
er price, on a larger stage, which we are not al
ways permitted to ascend. Do not, then, regret
your position; remain on your stage. Who knows
whether I shall ever appear on mine again ? I
saw Monvel (another actor) yesterday. He is a
true friend. Barras makes large promises. Will
he keep them? That I much doubt.. lam re
duced to my last farthing. Have you a few francs
(yueltjuex ecu*) at my service ? I won’t refuse
them ; and promise repayment out of the first king
dom 1 may conquer. My friend, how happy weie
the heroes of Ariosto. They did not depend on a
miuisler of war. Adieu, BONAPARTE.”
I.ord Brougham on Washington.
In the recent installation address to the Univor
sity'of Edinburgh, Lord Brougham referred lo
Washington in the following eloquent words :
“ In Washington, we may comtemplate every
excellence, military and civil, applied to the ser
vice of his country and mankind—a triumphant
warrior, unshaken in confidence when the most
sanguine had a right to despair ; a successful ruler
in all the difficulties of a course wholly untried
directing the forming of anew government for a
great people, the first time so rash an experiment
had ever been tried by man—voluntarily and un
ostentatiously .retiring from supreme power .with
the veneration of all parties, of all nations, of all
mankind, that the rights of man might be con
served, and that his example might never be ap
pealed to by vulgar tyrants. It will be the duty
of the historian and the sage, iu all ages, to omit
no occasion of commemorating this illustrious man,
and until time shall be no more, will a test of pro
gress which our race has made in wisdom and in
virtue, be derived from the veneration paid to the
immortal name of Washington.”
A Littlk Storv WtTH a Moral.—The manner
in which so many allow themselves to be sacrificed
to their love of wealth, reminds one of the cupidi
ty of the monkey—that caricature of our species.
In Algiers, the Kabjle peasant attaches a gourd,
well fixed, to a tree, and places within it some
rice. The gourd has an opening merely sufficient
to admit the monkey’s paw. The creature comes
to the tree by night, inserts his paw, and grasps
his booty. He tries to draw it back, but it is
clenched, and he has not the wisdom to unclenMt
it. So there he stands till morning, when he is
caught, looking as foolish as may be, though with
the prize in his grasp.
How rich the following paragraph appears, which
was originally printed iu the English Quarterly Re
view in March, 182&:
“We are not advocates for visionary projects,,
to interfere with useful establishments. We scout
the idea of a railroad as impracticable. What cao
be more palpably absured and ridiculous than the
prospects held out of locomotives traveling twice at
fast as stage coaches ? We should as soon expect
the people of Woolwich to suffer themselves to be
tired off’ upon one of Congreve’s ricochet rockets,
as to put themselves to the mercy of such a machine,
goiug at such & rate.”
{lf “ Evey one seems to love you,” said a gen
tleman to a little girl. “Do they ?” she replied,
smiling ; “ well, I guess its because / love them
aIL”
Ah! never did philosophy, seeking for deeply
bidden gems of wisdom, strike upon a truth more
rare and pure ; for a loving aud kindly nature, like
sweet music, awakens kindred echoes. It posses
ses the power of winning the love it freely gives.
There is no harshness that love cannot soften, no
auger that a gentle word will not disarm.
A Significant Fact. —Lincoln, according to the
letter of one of his admirers, says he does not vis
it the Southern States because he is afraid of being
lynched. What a commentary is this upon the
sectionalism of the Republican party! They are
running a candidate, who, according to his own
story, dare not appear in one half of the States of
the Union. Without discussing the right and
wrong of the matter, or why it is so, the fact itself
is one of alarming significance and shows how far
w e have advanced in sectional controversy. Wh< n
the Presidential candidate of a great party, claim
ing a chance of his election, deems it unsafe for
him to visit one half of the States over which he
aspires to preside as Chief Magistrate, it is an evi
dence of an inhumation of tlie public mind and of
the passions of the people, which portends the
downfall of the Confederacy. To this point has
the “ irropressable conflict” doctrine brought the
country. Is it not time to pause and reflect and
endeavor to adopt pacific views and restore frater
nal feelings. —Sew Haven Register.
