way. between Savannah and Augusta, and McDuffiie waa shot in the hip. In the next affair, they went up to the North Carolina line, and here a difficulty arose be tween the seconds about the plan of operations and the matter was adjourned. The thrird meeting took plaoe at Campbelltoi; on the Carolina side of the Savannah river. Two shots were exchanged. At the second fire, Mc- Duffie receeived the ballet of his adversary in the small jo the back, and haAnia left arm broken. The wound waa not mortal, but left him in a wretched state of infir mity. which kept him a lingering invalid for the rest of bis days. It is with with much satisfaction that 1 am able to report the perfect and amicable reconciliation of these two distin guished men, before the death of McDuffie. This happen ed in Augusta, and was brought about by the friendly offi ces of Mr. John Bones, a gentleman who is well known to do the honors of that hospitable city, with a grace and courtesy, good will, liberality and kindness of heart, which have won lor him friendly mention whenever his name is spoke i. McDuffie happened to be Augusta, and in a state of exhaustion, for he was approaching his closing period— when Bones persuaded him to his sofa and le,t him to a temporary repose. In a little while after, Bones encoun tered Cumming passing his house. He told him of Mc- Duffiie’s presence within it, and of his situation, and frank ly said to hirn, “Go up by yourself, and be reconciled. I know that you harbor no malice, and that he has n* sin gle feeling of hostility against you in his bosom.” The suggestion was as frankly adopted as acted upon. The parties met as if they never had been enemies. Cumming i-at an hour with his prostrate rival, left him with the most amicable interchange of feeling,and the tear was iniiis eya. as he said to Bones on his departure. “What would 1 not do or give to relieve him from his cruel euffering !” It was one which his own hand had inflicted, and he deeply re gretted the shot. Ido not know that 1 give you the actual words which were used in quoted portion of my state ment, but the substance, is truly stated. Such a concilia tion is one which every biographer will delight to record. It was honorable to all the parties. COMMERCIAL.
