Arkansas bus bcon the land of bloody duels. In other countries, such ren-coutres. however, fre quent, are seldim fatal. But iu Arkansas,until a very recent period, both their number and mor tality have been alike astonishing Scarcely a single combat of the kind has occurred iinatteid- ed with immediate death to one or loth of thu an tagonists, and often to both. Tlie singular fact seems to have been chiefly owing to the cotemp iraneius ec tion of two cnus< e. First, the belligerent character of the perple, so intensely destructive; and secondly, the peculiar nature of their quarrels, resulting mostly from feeliugs of faction and politic.-tn partisanship. A special subsidiary, tending powerfully to thu same result, may he fuuud iu the despotic force of ex ample, end the strong proclivity of tho masses to imitate their superiors, and particularly their re- coguized leaders. Had the first duel ever waged in Arkansas been the work of mediocre or iguoble men, it might hare excited emiilioas of disgust or contempt, und certaiuly never would havebocomo a precedent to he quoted in speech and copied in conduct so extensively as it was. Unfortunately, however, it was the deadly strife of two great rivals, individuals of emineut talents and all-com manding influence, and* political chieftains boll'. Hence it was, and is still, a rule of coutroliug au thority to which perpetual reference is always bud iu affairs of honor In such cases, whenever n difficulty arises as to a point of etiquette or order iu the arrangements, an appeal is usually made to ‘the grand duel betwixt Cntteudeu.and Conway,’ the history of which we will now proceed to de tail. Iu 1830, Crittenden and Couway began to can- vans the territory as opponents for the office of delegate to the supreme congress of the unliou, the former being a Whig and the' latter n Demo crat. The (ield was altogether new; parties had not yet been organized, and all was in a state of transition—agitated, stormy nnd doubtful. The magnificence of the prize for which they struggled stimulated the rivals to tlie highest degree of en thusiasm, until the strife became maddening, aud burst over all the boundaries of decent language and even common courtesy. It was generally be lieved that whatsoever party acquired the ascen- deucy now would be iible to keep it a long while perhaps for ever. L'uiler tin li circumstances, the excitement oftbe people aud their leaders may be imagined. For a time tlie opposing candidates pursued dif ferent circuits, oue sweeping the stumps of the north, mid the other those of the south. They were probably induced to take ibis course iu the first iustancu from the same motive—the desire to avoid a personal collision, for they seemed all along to have dreaded such u termination. The sovereign voters were dissatisfied with this dis tant catiuonade. They loudly demanded that the champions should be brought to close quarters, so as to afford no opportunity of decidiug their res pective merits with the souses and by immediate contrast. Hence the political chieftains were forced to submit, and the primary ‘pitched buttle' was appointed to come ofi'ul Little Rock, iu mid summer. Ou the day designated, an immense concourse assembled to witness the trial of strength. Intense was tlie ferment ot passionate feeling. Many spectators were eveu kuowu to have travelled four hundred miles to be present on the occasion. The hunters and herdsmen who were toe poor to pay the expense of beard aud lodging at the hotels, ‘campedout’ in the wood* around the town. Early Oysters, Fresh Oysters.

The democratic caucus was called at the resi- deuceof Col. Wharton Rector, and the main sub ject of discut-siun related to the method which Conway should adopt in the debate of the ensuing day, mid more especially as in his treatment ol bis antagonist. Col. Chester Ashley made a power ful speech, urging gentlemanly und pacific mea sures as ibe safest and surest, because most likely to propitiate the good opinion of the comniuuitv.— A. H. Sevier, then a youthful aspiraut, iu the fi *t brilliant day break of his promise, took the same side. But Wharton Rector, llie fiery duellist, as sumed contrary ground. His oration was brief, but characteristic of the man aud of the time,: — ‘I know the people of Arkansas better thin auy of you, because I have resided amoug them Im g- er, ami I tell you from actual observation and from experience, that the ouly ptth to certain populari ty in this meridian runs through the arena of u turious fight. Therefore Couway must manage to get tip a fight.’ •But,' interposed Col. Aqhley, ‘what if Critteu- den should refuse to fight? 1 know myself that ltd a n >t a shot, a id Ins never beeu engaged iu a rencountre of the sort.’ ‘So much the better.’ replied Rector, laughing. ‘Iu tb it case there will be no danger to onr man; aud besides, if Crittenden should back out, he will b t utterly disgraced, and then we cun cow hide him ofi'tlie track with impunity.’ ‘But suppose he should deceive us all, and prove himself a hero? suggested Sevier.-'Suppnse that he should accept, and kill Gen. Conway, who is there iu your | arty, to supply the place of the hitler?’ throughout the west, from St. Louis to .New Or leans, although iu some sbiewtl in.lids thcio had always lingered a doubt os to tho character of his courage. These tbonghtibat thedesi».-i ,do rolled ■on his limner.-e personal strength, and the dcadli- 111 s< of faisaim, rather than ou iuuato and uncon querable bravery. ioi* Beu Desha, a son of the celebrated governor of Kentucky, hud but reccutly emigrated to Arkan sas.

His face flushed, and his nerves shook with passion. He « as not physically iu the best state to drive the centre of the target. Desha had tlie Word, aud be waited several minutes bolore pronouncing it. This was contrary to all rules, aud served to madden Cun- way more and more. Wliiletlie two antagonists were ibuaataiiding in positiou, the spectators at a glance contr - 'l their HSpect aud hearing.

He stood culm, collected, and uncon cerned, like a rifleman uboul to tiro at n mark.— But Couway bail a stern face, eyes dark'as night; und his look of indubitable courage was pMsptt bly tinged with revenge. Owing to the liisults of Beu Desha, all his limbs were Iremultfr.s with rage. At length Desha gave the word, in a voice that rung alar over tlie hills like llie peal of u'irumpct —‘Fire ! Om—two—three !’ At the sound ’Fire.’’ Conway, still tiinb-r the ef fects of the previous agitation, instantly r.-i:.- -d his weapon and pulled the trigger. His bullet crazed the other’s breast, aud cut a button his coat, without more injury. But Crittenden waited till the lust echo of the word ‘two,’ mid llicu his pis tol exploded. With 11 roar, General Conway dropped to the earth like load. Tllo bull liad pierced through his heart ’ , ga. fol. -V- ujM Thus euded the first great party duel iii Arkan sas.
