A Field of Blood*
The soil of Bladensburg, Maryland, has
r bloody record ;‘it has been the scene of
many refined murders, in days past. One
who visits, the place now, will find the field
green with verdure, and here and there
Sowers springing from the sod which a lew
years since was trampled by the feet of
men arrayed in deadly hostility. Here, on
a beautiful grass plot, surrounded by trees,
forms, made after the image of God, came
to insult nature and defy heaven.
In 1814, Edward Hopkins was killed
here in a duel. This seemp to have been
the first of these fashionable murders on
the dueling ground. !
In 1819, A. T. Mason, a United States
Senator froth Virginia, fought with his sis-
husband, John McCarty, here. Mc-
Carty was averse to fightings and < thought
there was no necessity for it; but Mason
would fight. muskets
loaded with buckshot, aim so near together,
that they would hit hedds if they fell On
ther faces. This was. changed by t|e
seconds to loading fp* bullets, and taking
twelve feet as the distance. Mason was
killed instantly, arid McCarty, who had His
collar-bone broken, still lives, with his sis
ter, in Georgetown. His hair turned white
so soon after the fight as ta) cause tmidh
comment. He has since been solicited to
act as second in' a duel, buAofused, in ac
cordance with a pledge made to his wife
soon after killing her-brother.
In 1820, Cpmodoy#.;Decatur was killed
here in a duel, W;Qommodore Barron. At
the first fire bptl* : fell forward, and lay with
in ten feet of l»ch other; and each supposed
himself morta% wounded; each fully and,
freely forgave the mother, still lying on the
ground. Decatur expired in a few days,
but Barron eventually recovered. -
In 1821, two strangers natoed* Lega and
Sega appeared here, Sega was in
stantly 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 killsj
here in a duel, with a clerk of tjie Treasury;
Department, named Gibson. The latter
was not hurt. v ;
Jn 1826, Henry , fought his second
duel with John Randolph, just across the
Potomac, as Randolph preferred to die, if
at all, on Virginia soil. The latter received
Clay's shot, and; then fired his, pistol in the
air. This was in accordance with a declara
tion made 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 inother.—
Gen. Jessup was Clay's second. When
Randolph fired, he remarked : “I do not
shoot at yon, Mr. Olay, 1 ' and extending his
hand, advanced toward Clay, who rushed to
meet,him. Randolph showed Clay where
his ball struck his coat, and said facetiously:
“Mr. Clay, you owe me a coat." Clay, re-
Slied: “Thank God the debt is no greater."
‘hoy were friends ever after. ...
In 1832, Martin was killed here by Carr.
Their first names are not remembered. —
They were from the South.
In 1833, . Mr. Key, (son of Frank Key,
and brother of Barton Key, of Sickles no
toriety,) met Mr. Sherborn, and Mr. Sher
born said: “ Mr. Key, I have no desire to
kill you.” “No matter,” Key said, “ I
came to kill you.” “Very well then,” said
Sherborn, “ I will kill you;” and he did.
In 1838, W. J. Graves, of Kentucky,
resuming the quarrel of James Wats->n
Webb and Jonathan Cilly of Maine, se
lected this place for Cilly *s murder, but the
parties learning, that Webb, with twe
-fifcigjw, Jackson and Morrel, were armed
and pursuit of assassinating Cilly,
moved toward the river and nearer the
city. Tbhir pm suers also moved to the
river, but missed the parties, and then re
turned to the city, to which they were
■sdon followed by Graves and the corpse of
Cilly* xawyer named Jones, fought
and killed Dr. Johnson.
In<lßsl, R. A. House ancLA, J. Dallis
had a hostile meeting here. PDalliS was
shot in the shoulder, but reH*«preeL
-Jn 1852, Dgniel aqd J ohnsOq, two #fech
rhond editors, held a harmlefßs set
which terminated in coffee. -H. V:*
In 1853, Davis and Ridgeway fought

Washington's Dying Words.— When
Gen. Washington bequeathed to his heirs
the sword he had won In the War of Lib
erty, he Changed them “ Never to take it
from the scabbard but in self-defense, or
in defence of their country and her free
dom; but when it should thus be drawn,
they should never sheath it nor ever give
it up, but prefer falling with dt in their
hands to Abe ; relinquishment thereof”—
words, says fcn eminent Englishman* the
majesty and simple eloquence of which are
not surpassed in the oratory of Athens and
Rome.

- Nice JBreakfast. Dish.— Sliee a few
cold bisomt, some dry light bread, fry
them slightlyih a little butter, or nice gra
vy- Beat & or 4 eggs, with half a teacup
ful of new milk, and a pinch of salt. When
the bread is hot, pour the eggs over it, and
cover for a few moments, stir slightly so
that all the eggs may be cooked. This is a
nice dish, besides saving the dry bread.

lard for the same by the wagon load, show
ing there ha&heretofdre been a general con
ceealment of property of the edible kind.
