A Field of Blood, "i ;
The soil of illadensburg, Mj§jr?and,
lias a bloody record. It has IpSt the
scene of many refined murdef&sn days
past. One who visits the plscfS&ow will
find the field green with verjlsre, and
here and ihere flowers spring from the
sod which a few years since werthuamp
led by :he feet of men arrayed in tftsdly
hostility. Here, on a beautiful jfTass
plat, surrjunded by trees, forms made 'Ufa*
'he image of God came to insult nature
and def y heaven. Here, are recitals of
sonm of the duels that have taken place
at Bladensburg : -
In 1814, Edward Hopkins was killed
here in a duel. This seems to have been
the first of these fashionable murders on
this dueling ground.
In 1819, A. T. Mason, a United
States Senator from Virginia, fought
with his sister’s husband, John McCarty,
here. McCarty was aver»s*to fighting,
and thought there was no necessity fhr it;
but Mason would figbt. McCarty nam
ed muskets, loaded with buckshot, and
so near together that they would hit
heads if they fell on their faces. This
was changed by the seconds to loading
with bullets, and taking twelve feet as
the distance. Mason was killed instant*
ly, and McCarty, who had his collarbone
broken, still lives with his sister in
Geurgetwn. Ilis hair turned white so
soon after the fight as to cause much
comment. lie has since been solicted
to act as a second in a duel, but refused,
in accordance with a pledge mad to his
wife soon after killing her brother.
In 1820, Commodore Decatur was kill
ed in a du I by Commodore Barron.—
At the first fire both fell forward and lay
within ten feet of each other, and each
supposed himself mortally wounded.—
Each fully and freely forgave the other,
stiU lying on the ground. Decatur ex
pired in a few days, but Barron eventu
ally recovered.
In 1821, two strangers, named Legs
and Sega, appeared here, fought, and Se
ga was instantly killed. The neighbors ,
only learned this much of their names
from the marks on their gloves. Legs
was not hurt.
1822, Midshipman Locke was killed
here in a duel with a clerk of the Treas
ury Department, named GibsoD.
latter was not hurt.
In 182 G, Henry Clay fought—his
second duel—with John Randolph, just
across the Potomac, as Randolph prefer
red to die, if at all, on Virginia soil; the
Litter received Clay’s shot and then fired
his pistol in the air. This was in accor
dance with a declaration 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 chil-
dren and repose of ihe mother. General
Jessup was Clay’s second. When ltan- ,
dolph fired, he remarked: ‘‘l do not j
shoot at you, Mr . Clay,” and extending j
his hand, advanced towards Clay, who *
rushed to meet him. Randolph showed
Clay where his ball struck his coat, and
facetiously : “Mr. Clay, you owe me a
coat.” Clay replied: “Thank God,
the debt is no greater.” They were
friends ever after.
In 1832, Marlin was killed hero by
Carr their first names are not remember
ed. They were from the South.
In 1833, Mr. Ivey (son of frank Key
and brother of Barton Key, of Sickles
notoriety) met Mr. Sherbon, and Sber
bon said : “Mr, Key, I have no desire
to kill you.” “Xo matter,” Key said,
“I came to kill you.” ‘ Very well,
then,” said Sherbon, “I will kill you.”
And he did.
In 1838, William J. Graves of Ken
tucky, assuming the quarrel of James
Watson Webb and Jonathan CilLy, of
Main fleeted this place for Cilleys mur
der; lit the parties learned that Webb:
with two friends, Jackson and Morrell,
were armed and in pursuit, for the pur
posj of assassinating Gilley, and moved! -
towards the river, and nearer the city.—
Their pursuers also moved towards the
river, but missed the parties, and then
returned to the city, to which they were
soon followed by Graves and the corpse
of Cilley.
In 1815, a lawyer, named Jones,
fought with and killed Dr. Johnson.
In 1851,11. A. House and A. J. Dal
its and Dallis was shot in k the shoulder,
but recovered.
In 1852, Daniel and Johnson, two
Richmond editors, held a harmless set
to here, which terminated in coffee.
In 1853, Davis and Ridgeway fought
here ; Ridgeway allowed his antagonist
to fire without returning the shot.
Since the publication of the above ar
ticle, which appeared orriginally in the
Harper’s Magizine, several other duels
have been fuught on the same ground.
S3?” As wc expected, Radicalism is
already beginning to sneer at Mr. Pea
body’s recent munificent gift for educa
tional purposes in the South. His fail
ure to specify in i\ particular manner the
beloved f'reedmen, is not at all satisfacto
ry. Yesterday the Inquirer, of this
city, opened its batteries, by attacking
that portion of the gift whieh includes
the bonds of the Planters' Bank of Mis
sissippi, and cooly asserted that “the ru
ling population of the South is not hon
est. We trust that Mr. P.’s attention
will not be called to the comments of ous
contemporary, as they might possibly de
ter him from any further enlargement of
his benefactions in this country. — PM
