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. [Audubon’s Ornithological Biography.] [From the. People's Magazine.] OITLN. 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 ,qf blood gushed from his woun 1, and he instant ly expired.

JESSE ARTHUR. 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 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.
