€bcmng p)isjratc|. ' AUGUSTA, GA: Monday Evening, April 13, 1858. Tilt* Duel that was Not Fonght On the statement of a passenger through that day from Montgomery, who said that one of the parties had gone on to the ground, we stated a day or two ago, that a duel was fought near West Point on that morning, in which Bin Lame Poset, and Mr. Beid, editors of rival papers in Alabama, were the par ties. It seems that the old adage that “ there is many a slip between the cup and the lip” proves true sometimes in matters of the code dudlo, for the duel seems to have slipped by entirely. Our informant probably did not duly appre ciate the pacific influences that environ the verdant banks of the swelling Chat tahoochee-redolent as they are with the sweet perfume of dog-wood blossoms dead cats and the long array of vernal harbingers, which are wont to cluster around the borders of our rivers at this peculiar season. There is nothing like a change of air and water for billious at tacks, and when to these we add the balmy influences of a morning ramble by the river side, amid the romantic associations of a fashionable butch butcher pen (i. e. a duelling ground) it is not strange that billigerent propensi ties are subdued, and good health and appetite return with improving temper. We congratulate our Alabama brethren —(if they will accept the congratulation of a barbarian who has never killed his man or destroyed a precious morning nap by a visit to the field of honor) on their safe escape from the fearful ef fects sometimes produced by vulgar Saltpetre. Perhaps we are too fast in attributing so much to the pacific influence of the redolent environs of W est Point, for we notice cards in the papers which indicate that the billious secretions of the parties are still morbid, and a return trip may yet be necessary to produce perfect geniality of temper—the sure precursor of returning health. Candidly, we mean no reflections on any of the parties to this atfair, but the rumors and newspaper reports of it arc 1 of such a character as to add little to | the laurels of cither party in the public eye, and a little pleasant ridicule] seems more befitting than any other notice we could make of it. These du els thet go off half-cocked are so very common, and look so very much like farces, that it is time the whole world set about treating them as only the fashionable follies of those who resort to them. When the statements of both par ties reach us, we may publish them, as j Mr. Posey is known among many of our Carolina readers. Since the above was in type the state- ! ments of both parties have come to i : hand, but they are so long and compli- j 1 rated as to exclude them from our col-1' umns. Northern Manufarluric*. A writer fiom Lawrence, Mass., says that the stagnation of business and dearth of employment is greater there than, in any manufacturing town of New j England. Twelve months ago the pop ulation was reckoned at 15,000; by the first of May it will not exceed 10,000. In Methuen, a manufacturing village, about two miles from Lawrence, andj one of the oldest in the State, the gates l have been ordered closed. These mills have been running through the winter,! hut there is no sale for their cloths at ] a living price. »— S*T President Buciiana* is certainly unpleasantly located. With a large ma- j jority of his friends in both branches of! Congress, he still seems to be in a mi-, nority on a number of important mea- j ■ores. First—The refusal of Congress to ] grant troops to be sent into Kansas. Second—The repudiation of the army i increase—on the plan suggested by the Secretary of War. Third—The defeat of the Lecompton Constitution. Fourth—The defeat of the scheme to make the admission of Minnesota a! condition to the admission of Kansas.! Fifth—The defeat of the Deficiency Appropriation Bill. Here is matter for reflection. The Democratic party North voted for Bu chanan on stern Democratic principles with all the power which money, great talent, and great sectional excitement, could bring to hear to oppose them.—. What has induced men, who stood firm through the storm of ’56, to desert their leader now, on some of the most import ant administration measures? The Magazines. We have received from the publisher Gedeyt, Peterson's and the Home. Mag azines for May, each claiming to be the best, and most reliable in matters of fashions; and as the ladies are the most interested in matters of this kind we respectfully refer this claim of ruperior ity to their unerring judgement. A Lesson in Arithmetic.—Teacher— *' Suppose I were to shoot at a tree with five birds in it, and kill three how many would be left ?” John—" Three, sir. ” T. —No, two would be left, yon igno ramus.” J.—“No there wouldn’t; the three shot would he left, and the other two jvould be fiudaway." Special Correspondence of the Dispatch. Charleston, April 10, 1858. The past week has been a dull one, " and you must consequently expect but little from your correspondent. Cotton closed to-day with an advance of one half to five-eighths cent on the closing r rates of last week, standing at 12 3 8 to 12 5-8 for Middling and Middling Fair, j During the past week the stock on sale has been very light and holders , have gradually realized a better rate, i until the week closed as above, notwith f standing the reported decline in the Liverpool market. j In Eice, the demand is active, and j the week closes with a receipt of 4,360 t tierces, changing hands at extremes of I $3 to $4. Bacon is dull—sides 10 3-4 to . . 11 ceuts, and shoulders 8 1-2 cents. We are anticipating a rich treat from , tlie oration to be delivered by the Hon. Edward Everett on the 13th inst. The , Keller Troupe, closed their engagement s here to-night, and return to Savannah j to-morrow, where they will undoubted r ly meet with as cordial a reception as s they did on their previous visit. On , , Monday next Mr. and Mrs. Charles Mathews make tlieir first appearance . here, and public expectation is upon , tip-toe, in anticipation of their advent, i Mr. Marchant, the very gentlemanly manager of our Theatre, seems deter mined to leave no cause for complaint on the part of his patrons, and has given us a succession of “stars” during ! the entire season, thus far. Mr. and , Mrs. Mathews will remain during the < week. Barbee’s Coquette continues to “draw” at Hibernian Hall. An effort is being made to secure this remarkable j production of a young Southern sculp- j tor, for the Gallery of the Carolina Art Association. An Augusta friend of your correspondent was here a few days since < and was advised, among other interest- ■ ing sights, to pay the Coquette a visit. ] j He did so and returned to our room ; £ very much disappointed. “Hang it • all,” said he, “why the thingis marlle." t He expected to find a living coquette, 1 and was thereby mistaken in his ealeu- * 1 lations. The Standard newspaper is offered for ] sale, and proposals will be received tin | til the first of May. With its large cir- j j culation embracing a great extent of I Southern territory, the Standard may be . made, under judicious management, a ; well-paying investment. The “quill } war,” between it and the Courier, has J I been concluded for the present, the lat- ; ter withdrawing from the combat. 'The goods from the wrecked Propell- 1 er “Atlanta” have been brought to this j city, aud consignees are requested to come forward and sign the average bond. I notice quite a large quantity ] of goods for Augusta merchants, and if ] they have any interests to protect, it 1 were well that they attend to this mnt j ter at once. j The Red Petticoat made its advent : among us a few days since. A certain | Scotch matron, moving in (tm)certain | circles, has the honor of making the first public display of the “Balmoral” on our streets, and, of course, was the ob served of all observers. Whether the fashion will be muen in favor, is, there fore, a question of much doubt. Be that !as it mar - , it cannot he denied that the I lady in question displayed the red pet ticoat in a very attractive manner. Quite a fever is now seen in the mat ter of “Sewing Machines,” and large I numbers of them are sold here daily.— | A new one, Gibb’s Patent, has recently ! been offered, and I am inclined to think 1 ; very favorably of it. It is unquestiona | bly well adapted, from its extreme sitn i plicity, for the plantation, and it docs ; its work well. The low price at which!” ■ it is offered (thirty dollars, with table, j &c., &c.,) places it within the reach of it' ; all. The agent, Mr. M. J. Clot, at 64 I® Broad street, is never weary of explain- I . ing its merits, and I would advise your readers who may be in need of such a j t ,| machine, to give this one an examina- j, tion. Guy. ! 1 is It Another Roorback? The Savannah Georgian, the paper 1 whose keen sighted local reported that < M Alsopp, the English Refugee, and Set- 1 ij , | i »ot’R the bank defaulter, had been seen ■i : !J in Savannah, professes to have received ji j a private letter, stating that Frank Rea I 0 ! and his wife had been taken by the !! ' j Florida Indians, while on their way to ! ( St. Augustine. If we are not mistaken, 1 ’*: a portion of the company of Forbes, ' j who was formerly a Georgia Theatre j, Manager, was several years ago taken ' 11 : by some of the Bowleg hoys, and treat r* ed rather rudely. If this private letter I -'of the Georgian is not a Roorback (or i REA-back) hatched up to point a eopya- j ! ble paragraph, Billy must have a I | strange fancy for show-people. Hope he j ,J may make as little ont of them as we i ~! have done. f i • ♦ Hon. Cliaries Marim died at Iris resi dence in Leipic, Kent county, Delaware, ! 61 on Friday night, the 26th ult.. after a . few weeks illness. On Thursday morning, last week, he- j _ j tween the hours of one and three ; 1, . o’clock, the house occupied by Col. Con v ally F. Trigg, situated in East Knox ville, Tennessee, was entirely consumed ' by fire. )-j j Grasshoppers are infesting the vicini e j ty of San Antonio Texas, and serious \ o ! apprehensions are entertained by plan-! | ters that the crops will be destroyed A Must Story. The following story is told by the Washington States of the Turkish officer who is Mohammed Pacha’s Secretary.— If he thought a simoon was after him in the paved avenues of Washington, wonder what he would say to the clouds of dust that sweep down the dusty streets of Augusta ? He has been used to the sandy deserts of Syria, and, on going out yesterday af ternoon, found himself enveloped in a cloud of dust. Suddenly (so the story goes) he was heard to call upon Allah in a loud voice, and throw himself flat on his face in ttie street. Some of the by standers lifted him up, under the im pression that he had been taken with an epileptic fit; but on being questioned lie stared wildly around him, and asked whether it was possible that it was over so soon ? ‘What is over ?’ asked Mr. Oscanyan, who happened to be passing, addressing him in his native tongue. ‘Oh ! Effendi!’ cried the Arab. T was walking through this pleasant bazaar, wondering at the beauty of the unveil ed women, and thinking how far away 1 was from my native desert, when, be hold, I raised my eyes and beheld a cloud of dust, loftier than the loftiest simoon of Sahara, coming toward me. Certain that I was about to perish by the most miserable of deaths, I did accord ing to the fashion of the desert and sought to escape the simoom by burying my face in the sand. I had scarcely done so when these people lifted me up, and. behold, the simoom was no longer there.” Ascanyan laughed, and told the Arab that what he believed to be the simoom was simply the accumulated dust of the city, swept by the wind, and that the inhabitants were so accustomed to it that they went on year after year, with out taking any preventive measures. But the Arab shook his head, as he passed on, and muttered to himself: ‘Mashallah ! but they are wonderful people these Yankees! We have the simoom only on the desert, but they have it in their streets. | Don't Stop yocr Taper.—Curtail and ! economise in other respects as much as you choose, hut don’t stop your paper. ! Your wife needs it; your children need it; you need it yourself. It not only affords you the amusement necessary to 1 your health and happiness, hut furnishes I you with a variety of knowledge worth i tenfold what it costs you. There are a j hundred other things which you can bct- Iter dispense with than your paper. — | You can even do without “bitters” and | meals a few times without injury, but ■your paper would be a serious loss. 11 ‘vou are compelled to “suspend pay jment” or go to jail, before doing so, pay (for your paper a year in advance : it will (relieve the rigors of poverty and solitary . confinement, and it may pravent the disastrous consequences of suspension— by the neck. Don’t stop your paper, j but pay for it out of your first disposa ble funds. Arizona* Before Arizona is yet organized, two ! gentlemen are contesting the honor of ' representing it in the House. Lt. Mow | rey, of the regular army, was sent to Washington a year ago by the votes ' |of the people of the western part of the 'Territory to represent their interests, ( and procure, if possible, an act organiz singsing them separately from New Mexico, from whom they are divided by natural ] J obstacles too great to allow any coramu- I nity of interests. Lt. Mowrey had re sided for a considerable time in the Ter ritory | Major McCarty, formerly of New York (but for the last three yexrs a resident of , theMesilla Velley region, also claims ■the right of representing the Territory j when organized, because elected dele- I gate by 1,000 votes given him by the t people of the Rio Grande portion of the i : Gadsden purchase. < Lt. Mowrcy has letters from Tuczon ■ and Fort Buchanan, describing in glow ling terms new gold pla.’trs discovered > in the vicinity of those points. The dust yields forty-three cents to the pan , 'of dit t. Particles of the gold were sent in the letters. They consist of little nuggets and scales which were sent as I specimens to the War Department from j California ten years ago. According to these letters, the results j of the mining for silver have been equal (ly successful. From one mine nine tons iof ore have been shipped to San Fran | cisco, which yielded $5,000 per ton.— The copper and lead ores have been neg lected, owing to the eagerness of excite- Sment concerning the more precious j metal. Tiie Senate Committee have rejected (the hill for setting off Arizona from New i Mexico. — The Rhode Island Election. Providence, April B.—At the State election held yesterday, the entire irac ricau Republican ticket for State Officers jwas elected. A majority of botli branches of the Legislature has also been carried by the “ union.” A Cold Blooded Muritcr, j On Wednesday evening last, between sunset and dark, a gentleman by the I name of Samuel Landrum, from Ben ton county, Alabama, was attacked by a party or parties as yet unknown, on jto McDonough road, about three miles Ifrom Atlanta, and beaten on the head j with a slungshot to such an extent,thatit [is believed he cannot survive. The deadly instrument witli which this jastrocious act was committed was I found near by. It consists of a ball of dead attached to a leather string run through a hook.
