Hen- George XoDttffle ft Col. Cummin;. Tho Charleston Mercury ol t'le 9th inst. contains an interesting-review of a work recently issued from a publishing house in Bostoo, "Notes on Duels and Duelling," by Ja>renzo Sabine. We give below the author's account of the duel between the Hon. George McDuflie and Col. Cumming of Georgiu, together with the remarks of the reviewer. In his statement of the affairs Mr. Sabine appears to have fallen into some important errors which we are glad to see thus set right before the public.?Carolina Spartan "McDuflie, George, n distinguish d statesman of South Carolina, and Col. Cumming, of Georgia. Near "Sister's Ferry," S. C. June 8th, 1832, with pistols. An article appeared in a Georgia paper in favor of the prebrn sums of Mr. Cru.v ford, and ng-iinbt those of Mr. Calhoun, to the Presidency of tho United States, which drew a reply from a gentleman ofi?c?th Carolina. The Georgia writer" rejoined, assuming that the South Carolina writer was Mr. MeDuffio; while that gentleman replied, in th1* belief tuat his opponent was Colonel Gumming. Both were mistaken; but no explanation was made on either side, though it is understood that Mr. McDuftio assented and Colonel Camming objected to n proposition to submit the dispute to tho decision of friends. " Colonel Camming desirod to tight in round jackets; or shirt-sleeves; his opponent suggested; " or frock or surtout coat." The change was assented to, and tho former appeared on the ground in frock and pantaloons of cotton and linen, the latter in similar garments of silk. The preliminaries arranged, the parties .vcre summoned to th-.ir places, and exchanged shot-, at the distance of ten paces, Mr. McDuffic'a ball atruc < the ground about four paces trom bis own feet while the bullet of his antagonist entered his back obliquely, just below the short ribs, and inflictcd a wound from which he never recovered. 'This duel gave rise to much newsp pir wit nod gossip. Tho Chronicle published at Augusta, Ga., gave the public, as it stated an authentic account of the nff iir, in which it wns sdd that Col. Co mining's pistol was loaded for the side, not for Liu busk, for tho resistance of common drapery, not of several folds of strong silk, dtc. The gener d to le of this article w is against Mr. MoD'iffie, nn I gave, the imureasi.in th .t his conduct . wan dishonorable, not only in the preparation of liis dress, but in retiring from the field after a single shot. Thina statements wore assumed to bo true by e.ditorH in dilTVrent pirts of the country, nnd afTirdod rn tterial* for free and s/Vere comntent*. But it may well be doubled whether the distinguished aiatcsm in of South Cirolina is justly liable to censure .upon either accusation. Am regards the diseontinuancc of 'he combat, it in in proof ila.it ho aeted upon the opinion of the surgeon* of both parties, who, ns the result of a consultation, declared his inability to proceed ; while in tho matter of dress there is no evidence, as I am aware, that his silk frock had more than a single and a common lining. That the surgeons were right in their conclusion is manifest; for Mr. McDuf. tie's wound, as already remarked, was the cause of serious physical prostration during his long life." There are several errors in this paragraph, which mixes up Ilia matter of three offiir* in one. Mr. Sabine has erred-in Adopting any of the statements of rabid antagonist newsp ip.Ts at tho time, or in adopting those only of one side, if the Georgi > press sought to ridicule MeDulie, that of 8outh Carolina returned the compliment, in kind, to Cum ming. Nobody now, and hardly then, ever supposed either of the combatants to b,a cowardly, or that MeDuflio or Cmuming proceeded unfairly ; though some of the proceedings wore subject to much diplomatic discussion ?the result, really, of an amicable solicitude on the part of their respective friend*, to mitigate at much as possible, the dangers of the meeting of two such eminent persons. Cumining is a in in?he sti i live*?of the highest .ank tor talent and character in Gear, gin. McDurtn 'a reputation is too well known for comment. I note that Mr. Sabine suggests that they were not the writers of the article respectively laid to their charge, nnd | whlak'^Ekaarl lh<* iln.U*- Ki?? I ia that thoy did write them, or at leant took considerable part in the perform* *ee.? They met, first, at the * Sinters' Ferry,** midway between Savannah and August.*, and 1 MrDufTie was shot In the hip. In tho next . affair, they went up to tho North Carolin* line, and hero adiiliuuity aroso between the < seconds about the plan of operations, nnd , tho matter was adjourned. Tlio third moot- i ing took ptnee at Campbolton on tho Cnroli- ' na aide of the Savannah river. Two ahvta were exchanged. At tho aerond fire, MeDofflo received tho bullet of hia adversary., In tho ems!! of his bark,and had hia left arm broken. The wound was not mortal, but it left him in a wretched atate of infirmity, which kept him n lingering invalid for the rent of his days. I believe these aro the subatftnlal facta in the ease. Tho angry and flcdictlve poaaiona which misrepresented H oo grossly on both sides are all done way with and nobody in tho South dreuu.a \ of such absurdities now ao Mr. Sabine has unfortunately put on record. I trust that bo nail roviao Mo statement, and expo age the offensive portion* pf bit narrative in future editions.

The suggestion was as frankly adopted and noted upon. The parties met ns if they had never been enemies.? Cuinmings sat nn hour with his prostrate tivnl, left him with the most amicable interchange of feeling, nnd the tear was in his eye, as he suid to Bones, on his departure. "What would I not do or jj've to relieve him from this cruel suffering!" It was one which his own hand had inflicted, and he bitterly regretted the shot. I do not know that I give you the actual words which were used in the quoted portion of my statement, but the substance, ns it reached my ears, is truly stated. Much a reconciliation is one which every biographer will ddight to record. It was lionor-'hle to all the pirlies. But I have aheady exceeded my limits, .and reserve much for other pages.

BEAUTIFUL BIJOU. J/wsra. Crosby, Nichols, & Co., Ill, Washton street, Boston, have sent us one of the ttiest pieces of lloliduy Bijouterie that we e seen for ninny a day. It consists of a niin- ? ire roluine printed in tip-top style, with gili cover ami gilt-edged leaves, containing a itical history of Fanny Cray, accompanied t?y elegant caids illustrating some of the most turescpte events of her life, in colored litho- j ph, or, to speak more to purpose, showing , r s pretty gir! looks its six different sit<inttons( I as many different costumes,?in short, exii>one head upon halt a dozen pair of shuuMcrs, h the changes which dress produces upon same face and features; for Fanny's head, inid of becoming 'turned' as some gill's heads letimcs are by their finery, is so contiivc 1 as ' dip off, when she gets too fond of one dress, I I is put on to u new pair of shoulders, in n I r form and in a new suit of clothes,?w hiding i in the rich costume cf wonutn.ocw't'.: c greyhound by her side. The first of the se- j i of pictures represents the cottage where my was born, with n sylvan stream mossed k beautiful bridge, and shaded bv the noble tree that shadows its garden. The whole hese pictures, with the portable head piece he heroine, and the little volume of letter- . ss history, are put up in an ornamental box erbly colored and embellished by gold and ry colored designs, among which is Fa my in , e and gold, feeding her chickens. We can j dly imagine any thing prettier than too little ] Is engaged in enjoying it together; one readtho vei-scs describing the pictures shown, , I the other putting tiie parts in their proper ccs." From the AVwr Bedford Mercury. 'A dainty box, brilliantly adorned, contains ored costumes to tie varied at will of our inning Fanny ; and her life is versified in a le book accompanying these, as delicate as i young heroine herself. The designs ere uitiful, and drawn and colored in the most shed manner. This is evidently one of the ering for the Holidays; and every one knows ne dear little girl, from six to ten years of i, who would fill the companionship of Fanny ly with ecstasy.
