insupportable weight upon the delicate sedsi
bilitip/ofthe duellist, and convert his bosom into
a type of hell? We have no hesitation in assert”
ing that they are generally such as ought not to
ruffle the spirit of a man; and they are indebted
for their ififluence to the resentful temper of (he
duellist. Rtvenge is his boasted principle of ac
tion, and to pess over an insult, or to forgive an
injury, is deemed spiritless and base. In a civil
ized and Christian community, one plain course,
and only one,is pointed out fora rational man to
pursue under the infliction of injuries, whether
they come from the hand of a pretended friend,
or an open enemy. If these injuries are such as
have a corresponding remedy in the law of the
land, we may apply to this tribunal for redress;
if they are of such a character as the wisdom of
ages has not embraced within the statutes of re
tributive justice, then we have nothing to do but
to bear them with the composure which philoso
phy inculcates, or to forgive them with the heav
en-born charity which the Gospel inspires. Tho’
it may be casting pearls before swine, we cannot
forbear asking professed duellists whether there
be nos a moral sublimity in such passages as these
—“ Recompense io no man evil for evil” —Avenge
not yourselves ; but rather give place unto wrath.”
But it is often gravely asserted, that a man's
reputation will be covered with indelible dis
grace if he refuse, in certain circumstances ,
to give or accept a challenge. Would to heav
en that declining to fight were the blackest spdt
on the character of ...the duellist ! But in
whose estimation will his character suffer ? In
the estimation of those only, who, like himself,
have adopted the maxim, that “he is a Scoun
drel who refuses to be a murderer and
we trust thatsuch men are far from constituting
the most numerous or the most reputable class of
the community. The advocates of duelling la
bour under a grand deception in their estimate of
the different traits of the human character. They
build their reputation Solely upon courage , while
forbearance, the forgiveness of injuries, and that
magnanimity which sustains its possessor under
unmerited sufferings and abuse, are treated with
contempt. But did these men never reflect, that
bulls and tigers are not deficient in cdurage ; and
that when this quality is employed only in deeds
ofcarnage and violence', it is at best a brutal trait.
Indeed duelling is far from being an infallible test
of courage. The fear of reproach has often been
the prevailing motive under the operation of which
challenges have been both given and accepted ;
and many a combattanl has marched to the spot
of rencounter, with the affected stride and .front
of Achilles, while the dastardly spirit of a coward
was lurking in his heart. It requires less genuine
courage to brave dangers or even to face death,
when wafted along by the current of popular
maxims, than to maintain our integrity and follow
our consciences in opposition to the powerful and
bewitching influence of example and opinion.
Could she naked heart be seen, it would be found,
that most men are too cowardly not to fight.
Neither does duelling give that reparation o"f in
juries which it demands. If dur characters were
intrinsically bad before, the blood which has been
effused in single combat, has not washed them
white ; —the,death of an antagonist can in no
sense repair the mischeife which we have suffered
from his slander, or detract owe tittle from the
truth which he has uttered.
That reputation is not so deeply concerned in
this business as to compel a man to violate the
laws of heaven and earth, by fighting a duel, may
be proved by an appeal to well known facts.
Those who have had the magnanimity to pass
over an insult, or to refuse a challenge when giv
en, have ever been applauded by the virtuous and
t!*e good. Compared with their enraged oppo
nents, they have shone as benignant stars among
baleful meteors.’ What man of sober thought, of
deep,.reflection, and of elevated feelings has failed
to admire and applaud the reply of Gen. Mer
cer to the challenge of Gen. Mason. He clos
es his note communicating his refusal to fight, in
these rational and dignified terms; —“ Asa man ,
and more especially as a Virginian , I ought not to
accept of your challenge ; as a Christian l can
not.” Did the magnanimous Mercer forfeit the
good opinion of his countrymen, and prove him
self to be a dastard and a scoundrel, by his decis
ion of character and superiority to vulgar preju
dice, on this occasion ? Far from it. He still
lives, and is honoured—is now a distinguished
member of Congress, while his furious adversary
hat; long since rtceived the blow of death from
the hands of one as desperate as himself. But
this is not a solitary example. Others have pur
sued the same course, and have received the
awards of equal glory. The world, as had as it
is, has never failed duly to appreciate such acts of
towering virtue ;and sometimes this sublimity of
feeling has produced a happy effect upon the less
cool and more precipitate antagonist. A celebra
ted literary, character in Europe, received from an’
exasperated acquaintance, a letter conclu
ding with these words“ 1 have a life at
your service, if you dare to take it.” The
following reply was immediately made :
“ You say you have a life at my service,
if J dare take it—l must confess to you, I dare
nof.Jake it—l thank my God I have not the
courage to take it. But though 1 own lam afraid
to deprive you of life ; yet, sir, permit me to as
sure you, that lam equally thankful to the Al
mighty Being, for mercifully bestowing on me
sufficient resolution, if attacked, to defend my
o w.” This unexpected reply had the desired
effect, and the affair was amicably adjusted. The
intrepid Viscount de Tiirenne, when a young of
ficer, received twelve challenges during the siege
of a fortified town. These challenges he put in
his pocket without farther notice. Soon after, he
was commanded upon a desperate attack on a
part of the enemy’s fortifications—upon which
he dispatched a note to each of the challengers,
informing them that “ be had received their pa
pers, which he deferred answering till a proper
occasion offered both them and himself to exert
their counrage for the King’s service ; that, be
ing ordered to assault the enemy’s works the
next day* %e desired their company, when they
ould have an opportunity of signalising theif!
own bravery, and of being witnesses of his.”—
We leave our readers to compare the character
aad, conduct of this man with that of his challen
gers, and to make their own deductions. A
challenge was, by a certain gentleman, accepted
on condition that his adversary should breakfast,
with him at his house the next morning before
they repaired to the field. After breakfast, and
when the family had retired without the least in
timation of the object of the visit, the challenger
inquired of the other if he was now ready to at
tend ? “ No, sir,” said he, “ not till we are more
on a par ; that amiable woman, and those six
loveljcchildren who just now breakfasted with
us, depend, under on my life for sub
sistence ; and till you can stake something equal
in my estimation, to the welfare of seven persons
dearer to me than the apple of my eye, 1 cannst
think we are equally matched.” “ We are nos
indeed replied the other, giving him his hand.
These persons from this moment became firmer
friends than before.
These examples will be undervalued and des
pised by those only who are blind to genuine dig
nity of character, and who take a savage delight
in scenes of mischief and of blood.

Rage for Novel Reading. —When the Pirate,

to have taken place on the arrival of the work in

General Intelligence.
FOREIGN.
Londnn papers to the 23d of January
have been received at Charleston. They
are said to contain very little political news.
At the last dates the probability of a war
between Russia and Turkey had rather in
creased. The London Sun of Jan. 19, al
luding to this subject, says, “ The British !
government has abandoned all hope of pre
serving peace.” The Greeks continue
their successes.
No material change had taken place in
the Cotton market at Liverpool.
In our paper of this week will be found
two letters from Smyrna, which present a
melancholy picture of the sate of affairs in
that quarter of the Turkish empire. It
will be seen that the butchery of the Greek
population is not confined to those provin
ces in which the standard of revolt has
been unfurled, but has extended to Asia,
where the Greeks have not, as yet, pre
sumed to oppose the authority of the Otto
man 9cepLe. The resistance of their
brethren in Europe, however, has called
down upon the heads of these innocent peo
ple the hloady sword of Turkish vengeance,
and they are slaughtered with as little
formality or pity as the beasts of the. field
or the fowls of the air. We wonder not
that our countryman, Mr. Fisk, by whom
one of the letters we allude to was written,
and who is providentially a resident in that
region of blood and outrage, should draw
so forcible a contrast between the scenes
around him, and the peaceful land of bis
nativity. “ i can scarcely fancy myself,”
says he, “ in the same world, or among the
same race of beings.” leave the abode
of learning and rational freedom—where
the rich and the poor, the strong and the
weak, are equally protected by laws of
their own enactment—where every good
citizen can enjoy the fruits of his labour ;
without molestation, and noo but the guil- ’
ty have cause to fear—where the -crwii
doctrines of the Bihle. strengthening and j
adorning the natural ligaments of society, i
are promulgated in their purity, and by
thousands made the rule of faith and prac
tice; —to leave such a country, and go into
a dark corner of the earth, where igno
rance, tyranny, superstition and vice, in
their most disgusting and appalling forms,
hold an undisputed empire.—where the in
nocent and the guilty are alike exposed to
the bow-string or the knife — where murder
is perpetrated at noon-day, without the
fear bf punishment, as though it were the
ordiuary business of man—to make such an
exchange must indeed create sensations
which it would be difficult to suppress,
though almost beyond the power of lan
guage adequately to describe.
A letter from Smyrna, under date of
Nov. 26, received in Baltimore, states that
nothing hut the presence of the French
vessels of war in the harbour, and the en-!
ergetick conduct of the French consul, has
saved thousand of the Greek population of
the city from massacre. By this humane
interposition, a great number of intended
victims fiad be.eu enabled to elude the
clutches of the mnrderoos Turk, and to
escape to a place of refuge. The same
letter also says : w The Greeks have now
got over the worst of it—their affairs in
the Morea are prosperous, and they
are masters of the Archipslago. Should
Rossia declare war, the Turks must march
out of Europe.” In such an event, how
ever, it was apprehended tint no Christian
could reside in Smyrna.
Accounts of a still latqr date, jreceived
by an arrival from France, inform, that on
the 11th December, the Turks, rendered
furious by some recent defeat in Europe,
renewed their massacres, and 250 Greeks
were sacrificed during the day ! Prepara
tions were making, it is also said, for fur
ther butchery !
At a vast distance from these horrid
scenes of worse than savage barbarity, and
surrounded by the blessings of civil and re
ligious liberty, we can scarcely believe
that a portion of our earth where the light
of Revelation once shone, has become
the theatre of such wanton cruelty, such
merciless oppression, as has been recently
exhibited within the circle of Mahometan
dominion. Who can read the details of
these te.'rifick barbarities without adopting
the sentiment so finely expressed by the
benevolent Cowper :
“ There js no flesh in man’s obdurate heart,
It does not feel for man—the uatural bond
Ofbrotherhood is severed as the flax,
That falls asunder at the touch of fire.”
We cannot believe that this state of
things will long continue ; the cup of Turk
ish abomination seems to be now full—and
the vengeance of insulted Heaven wiil not
always sleep. The storm which is destin
ed to sweep away, “ with the besom of
destruction,” the blood-stained fabrick of
Mahometan power, may have already
burst upon it, and the agents of a just but
dreadful retribution may be at this moment
employed in the fearful work of meting
out to the cruel and vindictive followers of
the great impostor, the same measure of
vengeance which they have so lpng been
inflicting upon the unfortunate victims of
their remorseless hate.
At no period since the fall of Bonaparte,
has the political aspect of Europe assumed
an appearance so portentous as at tbe
present moment. The consequences of a
war between Russia and Turkey, (which
has probably ere this commenced) defy the
[ calculations of human sagacity; and the
jealousies, the hopes and the fears of the
surrounding nations appear to be in the
most lively and violent exercise. The final
catastrophe is in the bosom of God.
The Greek General Anastase Peronas,
has addressed a Report to the Chiefs of
the Peloponesus, dated Thermopylae, Sept.
6, 1821, giving the particulars of a victory
obtained by the troops under his com
mand over the united forces of three
Pachas “ in the very passage where Leon
idas sealed with his Wood the liberties of
his country.” The Turks, determined on
forcing the Greek position, fought with the
greatest obstinacy ; but were finally repul
sed, leaving the ground covered with their
Jaad ; and 100 provision wagons, 7 pieces
of cannon, 17 colours, and a great number
of horses, fell into the tends es their ene
mies.
The Pacha Abtil Mahomed, in a Procla
mation addressed to the inhabitants of
Thessalonica, calls upon all faithful Mus
stilmen, between the ages of 16 and 60, to
take up arms against the Greeks, promising
in the name of the Prophet, “ the ineffable
delights of heaven,” to all such as fall in
battle.
I “ Musauimen, fly to arma. Obey the

This is said to be the second importation lor his

enough to pay his sailors, this notable lord went
in the ships O’Higgins and Esmeralda, and forci

had been embarked on board the ship L’An
