We have individuals in Kentucky, kind rea
der, that even there are,considered wonderful
adepts in the management of the rifle. To drive
a will is a common feat, no more thought of by
the Kentuckians than lo cut off a wild turkey’s
head, at a distance of one hundred ya rds. ()t hers
will hark off squirrels one after another, until
satisfied with the number procured. Some, less
intent on destroying game, can he seen under
night snuffing a candle at a distance of fifty
yards off hand, without extinguishing it. I have
been told that some have proved so expert and
cool as to make choice of the eye of a foe at a
wonderful distance, boasting beforehand ol the
sureness oft lie piece, which has afterwards been
fully proved when the enemy's betid has been
examined.
Having resided some vears in Kentucky, and
having more than once been witness of rifle
sports, 1 shall present vou with the rooults oi my
observation, leaving you to judge how far the
rifle ’shooting is understood in that state.
Several individuals who consider themselves
expert in the management of the gun, are often
seen to meet for the purpose of displaying their
skill ; and, betiinga ! rifling sum, put up a target,
in the centre of which a common sized nail is
hammered lor about two-thirds ol its length.
The marksmen make choice of what they con
sider a proper dis ance, which may be forty
paces. Each man cleans the interior ol his tube,
which is called wiping it, places a ball in the
palm of his hand, pouring as much powder from
his horn as will cover it. This quantity is sup
posed to be sufficient for any distance within a
hundred yards. A shot which comes very close
to the nail is considered that ol an indifferent
marksman ; the bending el the nail is, of course,
somewhat butter ; but uofl mg less than hitting
it right on the head is satisfactory. Well, kind
reader, one out ol ihe three shots generally hits
the nail ; and, should the shoo.ers amount to
half a dozen, two nails are frequently needed
before each can have a shot. Those who drive
the nail have a further trial amongst themselves,
and the two best shots out of these generally
settle the affair, when all the spor.smen adjourn
to some house, and spend an hour or two in
friendly intercourse ; appointing, b dore they
part, a day for another trial. Tins is technical
ly termed 1 driving the ]\uil.
Burking off Squirrels is a deligh ful sport, and
m my opinion requires a greater deg.ee ot ac
curacy than any other. 1 first witnessed this
manner of procuring squirrels whilst near the
town of Frankfort. The performer was the
celebrated Daniel Boon. \Ve walked out ■to
gether, and followed ibe rocky margins of flic
Kentucky river, umil we reached a piece of flat
land thickly covered with black walnuts, oaks
and hickories. As the general mast was a good
one that year, squirrels were seen gamboling on
every tree around us. My companion, a s.out,
bale, athletic man, dressed in a homespun hunt
ing shirt, bare legged, and moccasined, earned
a long and heavy rifle, which, as he was loading
it, he said had proved efficient in all his former
undertakings, and which he hoped would not
fail on this occasion, as he lull proud to show
me his skill. The gun was wiped, the powder
measured, the bull patched with six-hundred
thread linen, and the charge sent home with a
hickory rod. We moved not a step from the
place, for the squirrels were so numerous that
it was unnecessary to go after them. Boon
pointed to oue of these animals which had ob
served us, and was crouched on a branch about
fifty paces distant, and bade me mark well where
the ball should hit. He raised his piece gradu
ally until the head (that being the name given
by the Kentuckians to the sight) of the barrel
was brought loa line with the spot which he in
tended io uit. The whip-like report resounded
through the woods and along the hills, in repeat
ed echoes. Juage of my surprise when 1 per
ceived that tiie ball had hit ihe piece of bark im
mediately beneath the squirrel and shivered it
into splinters, ihe concussion produced by which
nad killed the animal, and sent it whirling through
the air, as if it had been blown up by the ex
plosion of a powder magazine. Boon kept up
his firing, and before many hours had elapsed,
we hud procured as many squirrels as we wish
ed ; for you must know, kind reader, that to load
a rifle requires only a moment, and that it it is
wiped once after each shot, it will do duty for
hours. Since that first interview with our ve
teran Boon, 1 have seen many other individuals
perform the same feat. ' ;
The snutting of a candle with a ball, I first
had an opportunity of seeing near the banks et
Green River, not fur from a large pigeon roost,
to which I had previously made a visit. I heard
many reports of guns during the early part ol a
dark night, and knowing them to be those of
I rifles, I went towards the spot to ascertain the
cause. Ou reaching the place, I was welcomed
by a dozen of tall s out men, who told me they
were exercising for the purpose of enabling
them to shoot under night at the reflected light
from the eyes ol a deer or wolf, by torch light.
A fire was blazing near, the smoke of which rose
curling among the thick foliage of the trees.
At a distance which rendered it scarcely dis
tinguishahle, stood a burning candle, as if intend
ed for an offering to the goddess of night, but
which in reality was only fifty yards from the
spot on which we all stood. One man was with
in a few yards of it, to watch the effect of the
shots, as well as to light the candle should it
chance to go out, or lo replace it should the shot
cut it across. Each marksman shot in his turn.
l . Some never hit either the snuff or the candle,
e and were cpngraiula’ed vitli a loud lairjh :
]’ while o:hers actually snuffed the candle without
, putting it out, and were recompensed for their
if dexterity with numerous hurrahs. One of them,
who was particularly expert, was very fortu
nate, and snuff d the candle three times out ol
' f sev n, whilst all the other sho;s either pul out
;t the candle, or cut itlmmediately under the light.
Os the feats performed by the Kentuckians
r with the rifle, I could say more than might he
expedient on the present occasion. In every
thinly peopled portion of the state, it is rare to
i meet one without a gun of that description, as
well as a tomahawk. Byway of recreation,
r they often cut off a piece of the bark of a tree,
t make a target of g, using a little powder wett
ed with water or saliva, for the bull’s eye, and
shoot into tile mark all the balls they have about
them, picking them out of the wood again.

I Duelling in England was carried to its great
' est possible excess in the reigns df James 1. and
ol the two Charleses. In the,reign of the lat
> ter Charics, the seconds always fought as well
> as their principals ; and as they were chosen
1 for their courage and adroitness, thyir combats
i were generally the most fatal. Lord Howard,
• of Carlisle, in the reign of Charles 11., gave a
grand fete champetry at Spring ..Gardens, near
; the village of Charing, the Vauxhall of that
I dav. This fete was to facilitate an intrigue be
tween lord Howard and the profligate dutchess
■ of Shrewsbury : but the gay and insinuating
i Sidnev flirted with the dutchess* abstracted her
i .attention from Howard, and ridiculed the fete.
'The next ay his lordship sent a challenge to
i Sidney, who chose as his second, a tallj furious,
1 avuorrlam**n, namoel Diliou , lltir.-ord .ic»
Iccted a young gentleman, named Rawlings,
just come iiVo possession of an estate of 10 004/.
a year. Sidney was wounded fn two or three
; places, whilst his second was run through the
heart, and left dead oil the field. The duke of
' Shrewsbury became afterwards so irritated as
. to challenge the infamous Buckingham for in
> triguiuor with his wife. The Intchess of Shrews
bury in the disguise of a page, attended Buck
ingham to the fiel •, and held his horse whilst
he fought and killed her husband. The profli
, gate king, in spite of every remonstrance from
‘ the queen, received the duke of Buckingham
i with open arms, after this brutal murder. .
,*• Jn 172 duds fought during the last sixty
vears, 69 persons were k jled ; (in three of
; these duels, neither iff t e combatants surviv
ed ;) 96 persons were-wounded, 48 desperate,
i lv and 48 slightly ; and 188 escaped unhurt.
■| Thus, rather more than one-fifth lost their lives, ’
| and nearly one-half received the bullets df their
1 antagonists. It appears also, that out of this
1 number of duels, eighteen t rials took place ;
six of the arraigned were acquitted, seven found
i guilty of man slaughter, and three of murder ;
, two were executed, and eight imprisoned for
different periods.
About forty years ago, there was a duelling
1 society held in Charleston, South-Carolina,
where each “gentleman,” took precedence ac
cording to the numbers he had killed or wound
cd in duels. 'The president and deputy had
I killed m mv. It happened that an old weather
• beaten lieutenant of the English navy arrived
> at Charleston, to see after some property which
; had devolved upon him, in right of a Charles
‘ ton ladv, whom he had married ; and on going
■ into a coffee house, engaged in conversation
} wi h a native, whose instil s against England
t were resented, and the English lieutenant re
> ccived n challenge. As soon as the aflair was
I known, some gentlemen waited upon the s ran
-1 ger lo inform him, that the man who had called
> him out was a duellist, a “ dead shot,” the pre
■ sident of the duellist club ; they added, that the
I socle’y and all its members, though among the
1 wcalthies people oT the place, were considered
• so in’amous by really respectable persons, that
t lie would not be held in disesteem by not meet
-1 mg the challenger. The lieutenant replied, that
he was not afraid of any duellist ; he had ac
-1 cepted the challenge, and would meet his man.
t They accordingly did meet, and at the first fire
• the lieutenant mortally wounded his antagonist,
lu great agony, and conscience-stricken, he in
t yoked the aid of several divines, and calling
■ the “duellist society” to his bedside, lectured
i them upon the atrocity of their conduct, and
‘ begged, as Ins living request, that the club might
he broken up. 'The deaih of this individual
i suppressed a society which the sense of the
I community did not possess sufficient influence
■ to subdue.
In Virginia, a Mr. Powell, a notorious duel
• list, purposely met and insulted an English tra
veller. lor having said, ihal “ tlpj virginians
were of no use to the American Union, it re-’
quiring one half of the Virginians to keep the
other half in order;’ the newspapers look it,
up as a national quarrel, and an icipated the.
meeting, without the interference Os the magis
» rraev to prevent its taking place. The Eng*
, Irshman, therefore, got an American duellist us:
his second, went into training and practice, and .
1 met his adversary amidst a mob of many thous
> ands to witness the fight. Mr. Powell was kill
ed on the first shot, and the Englishman re
mained unhurt.
; The brother of General Delancey, English
barrack-master general, having high words
with a “ gentleman” in a coffee-house at New*
f York, the American immediately called for pis
, tols, and insisted upon fighting in the public cos
-1 fee-room, across one of the tables. None of
the “ gentlemen” present they fought
across the table, a,nd the American’s shot taking
t effect, the Englishman was killed upon the spot.
I Lately, at Nashville, a gentleman was shot dead
before his own door, in a duel, in the principal
square of the city.
In 1763, the Secretary of the English trea
surv, Mr. Martin, notoriously trained himself
. as a duellist, for the avowed purpose of shoot,
iug Mr. Wilkes, whom he first insulted in the
House of Commons, and aferwards wounded
in the park. This gave rise to Churchill’s po
em of “ The Duellist;” the House of Commons
! ordered his majesty’s sergeant surgeon to at :
tend Mr. Wilkes, and Mr. Martin was consider
; ed to “ have done the state some service.”
—n— ——j———————aa 1— pin
■ i At that period duels were frequent among
clergymen. In 1764, the Rev. Mr. Hill was
killed in a duel by cornet Gardener, of the ca
rabineer. The Reverend Mr. Rate fought two
duels, and was subsequently, created a baronet,
and preferred to a deanery, after he had fought
another duel. The Reverend Mr. Alien killed
a Mr. Delany in a duel, in Hyde Park, without
incurring any ecclesiastical censure, though
Judge Buller, on account of his extremely bad
conduct, strongly charged his guilt upon the
jury. j
in 1765, occurred a celebra’ed due’ be >■ ee i
the fatherof the late lord Byn n and Mr. ha
worth, a famous duellist. They quarrelled at a
club-dinner at the Stjir and Garter, Pall Mai ,
about game ; Chaworth was a great game pre
server, and lord Byron had argued upon the
cruelty and impolicy of the game laws. They
agreed to fight in an adjoining room, by the light
of only one candle. Lord Byron entered first;
and, as Ghaworth was shutting the door, turn
ing his head round, he beheld lord Byron’s
sword half undrawn ; he immediately whipped
his own weapon out, and making n luhge at his
lordship, ran it through his waistcoat, conceiving
that his sword had gone through his body : lord
Byron closed, and, shortening his sword, stab
bed Mr. Cha worth in the belly. The challenge
had proceeded from Mr. Cha worth. Lord By
ron read his.defence to the House of Lords, and
was found guilty of manslaughter ; and, upon
the privilege of his peerage, was discharged on
paying his fees.
In 1772, a Mr. M’Lean was challenged and
lolled by a Mr. Cameron ; and the mother of
Mr. M’Lean, on hearing of the shocking event,
instantly lostjher senses, whilst a Miss M‘Leod,
who was to have been married lo the deceased,
was seized with fits, and died in three days.
In Mr. Sheridan’s duel with Mr. Mathews,
he partios cut and slashed at each other, ala
mode de theatre, until Mr. Mathews left a par
of his sword, sticking in Mr. Sheridan’s ear.
fn a famous duel in which Mr. Riddell was
killed, and Mr. Cunningham very severely
wounded, the challenge, by mistake, had fallen
in the first instance in o the hands of sir James
Riddell, father to Mr. Riddell, who, on having
it delivered io him, did no more than provide
surgeons for the event.
In 1789, Colonel Lennox, conceived himself
,to have been insulted, by the la e duke of York
having told him, before all the officers on the par
ade of St.James’s, “that he desired to derive no
protection from his rack of prince,” 'The colo
nel accordingly (ought his royal highness, ii
v/as said, with cork bullets; but be that as it
may, he contrived to dis urh one of th« huge
rows »f curls which it Avas tiieu the fashion to
wear on the aide of the head.
In 1790, .a captain Macrae fought and killed
sir George Ramsay, for refusing to dismiss a
faith tl old servant who had insulted captain
Mac ae. Sir George urged, that even if the
servmt were guilty, he had been sufficien ly
punLh ‘d bvtbe cruel beating (hut captain .Mac
rae had givai bun. As soon as the servant
heard that his m istcr had been killed on his ac
count he fell into strong convulsions, and died,
in a few hours. Captain Macrae fled, and was ,
outlawed.
In 1797, colonel Fitzgerald, a married man,
eloped from Windsor with his cousin, the daugh
ter of lord Kings.on. Colonel King, the bro
ther, fought colonel Fi’zgerald in Hyde Park.
The}’ fired six sho s each without efleet; and
the powder be ng exhausted, colonel King call
ed his opponent “ a villain,” and they resolved
to fight again next day. They were, however,
pin under an arrest, when colonel Fi.zgerald
had the audacity to follow lord Kingston’s fami
ly to Ireland, to obtain the object of his seduc
tion from her parents. Colonel King hearing
of this, repaired to the inn where colonel Fitz
gerald put up. Colonel Fitzgerald had locked
himself in his room, and refused admission o
colon* I King, who broke open the door, and
running to a case of pis'ols, seized one, and de
sired colonel Fitzgerald to take the o: her. The
parties grappled, and were fighting, when lord
Kingston, entered the room; and perceiving,
from the position of the parties, that his sun must
lose his life, instantly shot Fitzgerald dead on
the spot.
In 1803, a very singular duel took place in
Hyde Park, London, between a lieutenant W.
of the navv, and a cap’ain 1.,, ot the army.
Captain 1. had seduced the lieUtenan'.’s sis er.
LieiUenant W. seemed impressed with a deep
sense of melancholy • he insisted that the dis
tance should be only six paces. At this distance
they fired, and the shot of captain I. struck the
guard of lieutenant W s pis-01, and tore off two
fingers of his right hand. The lieutenant de
liberately wrapped his handkerchief round the
wound, and looking solemnly to heaven, exclaim,
rd. “ f have a left hand, which never failed me.”
r They again took their ground. Lieutenant W.
looked steadfastly at captain 1., and casting his
’ eyes up to heaven, was heard to utier “ forgive
me.” They fired, and both fell. Captain 1.
, received ihe bail in his head, and died instantly :
. the lieut rrnrU was shot through the breast. He
inquired if captain Ts wound was mortal. Be
ing answered in the affirmative, he thanked
heaven that he had lived so long. He then look
Ids mourning ring off his finger, and said to his
second, “ Give this to nv sis er, an 1 tell her if is
;he happiest moment I ever knew.” lie had
' it tered t >e last word, when a quantity

a history of the effect ol this valuable specific, in the case
of a lady in one of our cities. The disease was of the
worst speciesot Scrofula, ‘Her face was a continuous
scar from the chin to the ‘orehead; the soft parts of the
nose and the palate having been entirely eaten away:
several of the bones of the month add nose, the palate,
bones, and those of the cheek, were destroyed—her hear
ing was imp lied —in short, he whole appearance of
her face s represented as having been frightful. The 1
ulceration then extended itsell to the left shoulder
destroying in ins relentless course the muscles and liga
ments—exhibiting a .goodly portion of the main bone of
the arm: and so bad was her condition, that animal life
actually appeared in the diseased parts of her arm. The
ulceration on her lower limbs had not been less ex
tensive—nearly the whole way from her knees down
wards, being covered with scars. We leant that she
had been from her infancy, seated in a cradle—and never
walked half a mile in all her life, priorto using the Ca
tholicon—but that after the employment of a few bottles
of this valuable specific, she entirely recovered, and
could walk three or four miles without pain or fatigue.

hie Indian Elixir proved in all those cases in which it is re
commended, that the proprietor feels authorised tostate,
it will effect a cure in ninety cases out ol a hundred when
taken according to the printed directions accompanying
each Bottle. The Elixir is composed entirely of Veget.
able ingredients, and may he taken without the least risk
ofinjury to the constitution. It is unnecessary to say
more in ftmyrof this invaluable Remedy ; too many in this
community have alr«idy been cured by it for its virtu*

This is.to certify that the subscriber had been for some
years, tormented with that most excruciating disease
chronic Rheumatism, and was advised m February la.st to
procure from Dr. Fitch some of his Indian Vegetable
Elixir. Accordingly I procured some of it, and to mv
great surprise and still greater relief, it entirely remove*,
the complaint, after taking a few doses, and I have not
since had a return of it.

ANOTHER FACT
Edgefield, June 2d, 1832=
Mr. James Boatwright,
f Dear Sir—Permit me to return you my sincere thanks
for your kind attention in delivering my letter to Dr.
Fitch for the five bottles of his Indian Vegetable ELIX
IR. It came safe to hand, and if you are a parent, you
can conceive of my joy, when I inform you that my son
who has for the last six months suffered every pain from
the Rheumatism which was possible for a human being
to bear, has been entirely cured by that Elixir. I had
mourned over him and had given him up to be a cripple
for life and all the fond expectations I had anticipated from
him appeared to be blasted forever. But now to see him
walking about free from pain, and daily gaining strength,
gives me more pleasure than I can express. Several of
my ne ghbors nave experienced immediate relief. In
only one instance have I known it to fail, and that was a
most hopeless one-; still he thinks he has experienced
benefit enough from it to induce him to persevere longer
in the use ot if, as he has not yet given it a sufficiently
fair trial. If this communication can be of any service
to my fellow beings I freely give my consent that you
should make such use of it as you think conducive to
that end. I remain ever your much obliged friend,
Anack P= Hickman.

1 Certify that rny son Thomas '’itci.Hl, jr. aged 15
years, has been troubled for Eight years last past
with the Rheumatism, and for the last three years has
been unable to help himself; his pain was very severe,
so that he could not be moved without great agony :
his limbs were paralyzed and drawn up and he presented
an object hopeless to all that knew’ him. I resorted to
several Physicians for relief for him, without effect.
Having heard of Dr. A. Fitch’s Indian Vegetable Elix
ir, I piocured the same for rr.y son, on taking it, fie was
much relieved and by continuing it to the fourth bottle,
lias entirely removed the pain, his flesh is restored and
he is now enjoying good health. I would in ail case)
of Rheumatism earnestly recommend it to those win
are affectad with this excruciating pain.
