Thc Uniteil Slates Circuit Court was convened ut IO o'clock Monday morning, 11th ?nat., Judges Bond and Bryan on the bench. Judge Bond delivered his opinion upon the motion to quash the array. GENTLEMEN OF TUE BAW : In respect to the motion before the court, which was argued on Wednesday last, I have come io the conclusion thal the motion to quash should be overruled. It is a mo tion louudcd not upon any allegation of fraud or bad faith on the part of the olli cera who executed the filly-first rule of court. No impropriety of conduct is charged against them, but it is simply urged that these olliccrs have mistaken their powers under the rule and have not followed it strictly. The ellice that these commissioners execute is a purely ministerial oliice, and although it bas been argued that as they arc required to select men 61" intel ligence and good moral character, &c, they thereby acquire a quasi judicial power, yet I hold that their duly is pure ly ministerial. For instance : The ellice of marshal is purely ministerial, and yet every venire requires hil to "summon good and lawful men ol Iiis district on tlie jury." Now it is manifest that there wa? au irregularity in thc selection ol these jurors, but the irregularity is pure ly technical, and the rule of the United States Courts has always been that where substantial justice could be done, where thc rule has been substantially complied with, and where it was nut shown that manifest injustice would result tu the parties to be tried by reason of the irreg ularity, the courts have always refused lo set aside the array. Judge Bryan then delivered the fol lowing dissenting opinion : After a careful consideration of the rules and the authorities presented by counsel on either side, I am constrained to differ with my associate. I am compelled lo conclude that all , |hrec of the commissioners are necessary . for the lawful selection of the juries; that j the absence of one of them involves a j fatal defect in the administration of the < rule, and hence the part assigned Com- j missioner Blythe, ot a precise locality ? and for a Bpccial object, could not be j performed by any other person. The ( rule makes no provision for any deputy, j and he himself made uo attempt to ap point such deputy or assign lr . position t to any other person. The ru.o clearly, | by inevitable implication, negatives the i idea that any oilier person, unless pro- ? vided for by the rule and with likequali- i ideation, could perform his function, ile < is distinguished from thc other commis- < bioners by his locality, and cannot be \ confounded with them. Iiis participa tion in thc initial action of thc three ? commiss-ouers in the selection of the five I hundred 'itizens of good intelligence and character, and also as an adviser in their f final action when it is to be determined what names are to bo placed on the list "with the approval of a majority ol the < comminissioners," is equally necessary. i cannot, therefore, accept thc jury BO i drawn as one selected uccording to the ? requirement and sound theory of thc | rule, or which satisfies the order of thc \ court. j And it is not permissible for the court ' now to modify or set aside the rule of j thc court, and adopt a jury not selected t according to the rule of court. Thal rule has the force, dignity and obligation \ ol a statute, lt is in place of a statute t and rests upon the authority ol a statute, t which gives the courts ol' the United { States ?lower to make all necessary rules and regulation* for conforming the desig- 1 nation and impaneling of juries in sub- ? stance to thc laws and usages now in t force in such State ; and further, shall I have power by rule or order, from time t to time, to conform the same to any t change in these respects which may here- < after be udopted by the Legislatures of j tho respective States for tho State courts, i " This rule and thc others coupled with t it were, on the deliberate judgment of I the court, providing iu advance for ull t cases deemed necessnry to secure juries I enlightened, impartial and upright, and 1 they cannot bo set aside without abro- t gating legislation and incurring the im- ] putatiou of t!ie injustice, odium and t cruelty of ex post facto law. The citizen i and the government alike for their pro- t t>dion have a right to insist upon thc i maintenance um) enforcement of the 1 standard created by the law itself, and l llmt tho citizen and the government shall I have the benefit of the juries demanded by tho law. i ll is better (should such consequence ensue) that there should be a failure ofa \ court or postponement of trial than that i there should be a failure of justice. And hero in order that we may prop erly measure tho inconvenience arising from a failure of an oificer to du his duty, and a consequent failure of a term of thu court, it is in place to observe that no such event bas occurred since the re organization of the courts of the United States of tho State, now in the thirteenth year of their administration. ******* Tho clerk then proceeded to call the names of the petit jurors lrom the. list in alphabetical order, and as the jurors took their seats Assistant United States Dis trict Attorney Mackey placed them upon their voir dire and applied thc following oath, familiarly known us "ibo test oath :" "You do solemnly swear (or ailinn) that you will support the constitution of the United Stales of America ; that you have not, without duress or constraint, taken up arms or joined any insurrection or rebellion against the Uniteil States; that you have not adhered to any instir rection or rebellion, giving it aid and comfort; that you have not, directly or indirectly, given any assistance in money or any other thing to any person or per H' Ui whom you know, or had good ground to believe, to have joined, or to bc about to join, said insurrection or rebellion ; or to have resisted, or to be about to resist, with force of arms, thc execution of the laws of the United States ; and that you have not counselled or advised any per ?on to join nny insurrection or rebellion against, or to resist with force of urms, the laws of thc Unite?] States." Mr. Edward McOrady here objected to applying this oath, on tho grounds, first, thal section 820 was not of force, and second, thnt if it is of force, the juror could not bc examined on his voir dire A? to any matter which would compel un answer which would cit lier criminate himself or be to his discredit or disgrace. Judge Bond said he ?lid not care to hear argument on thc first ground, as thnt question had been decided in thc Ellenton eases, and bc held that section Sil?? was of force # Mr. McCrady then addressed himself to thc second ground, and argued thal as the District Attorney had elected tu pro ceed under section 820, which gave him thc power to enforce the oath, in*tend ?if section 821, which b lt ita application to the discretion of the court, lie was com pelled to prove thc disqualification by "?turases, and not by extorting the prm?f from the witnesses upon their voir dire. ! There were, he said, certain questions looking to the qualification ot* tue juror that could be asked upon his ruir dire, but it was clear that no question could be asked the juror on his voir dire which in auy way goes to criminate him, and still more which tends to his discredit or disgrace. It was scarcely necessary to argue to the court the question whether Iiartieipation in a rebellion against the Jutted otates was to the party's discredit or not. Such a participation might uot be considered a disgrace socially, but it was certainly in the eye and in the terms of the law a crime and a disgrace. As far back as Bacon it has been held that upon malters of challenge for cause "the jurors may be asked such questions as do not tend to criminate them." In sup port of thia position Mr. McCrady cited authority Iroin Salkcld. Archibold's Criminal Pleadings, and the case against Baldwin in the Pirst Constitutional Re ports, Treadway. The jurors, under these authorities, he claimed, could not be asked any question au answer to which might be, in the eyes of the law, discreditable or dishonorable to them. The jurors had been brought by the United Stales government against their will, and when they came the represen tative of the United States government hail no right to prove their dlsqualifica- . lion by any such inquisi orial proceed ing, but was compelled to prove the fact . by witnesses. District Attorney Northrop said : lu the cu ' of Reynolds against tho United States, the Chief Justice lays down ex actly what questions may or may not be pul to the juror on his voir dire. Tho Chief Justice, in delivering the opinion of the court upon the question of thc dis qualification of a juror for cause, says: "To make out the existence of the fact, the juror who is challenged may bo ex amined on voir dire, and asked questions that do not tend to his infamy and dis grace." I do not considei that those who engaged in the late civii war have incurred any such infamy or disgrace at all which would estop the government from putting this question. Judge Rond-My judgment is that this question does not come within the rule ' ns you slate it. The application of this rule does not cause the juror to prove his ' infamy or disgrace. The law says that y ou cannot ask a witness a question the ' answer to which would criminate bim, 1 md yet no one would hold for an instant that a witness could not be asked whether ir not he belonged to the Confederate irmy. Judge Bryan-I differ very materially tvith Judge Bond on this question. I !?old that thc application of timi oath m itself virtually disfranchises a free chi- ' Ken, and takes from him the highest ' right of self-government, viz : the sitting JU a jury. It is a total disfranchisement if the citizen, and is the deepest disgrace 1 Lo liim. 1 Judge Bond-There is no disgrace ibout it. There is no such crime as re- . iel lion. The test oath was then administered to I bc jurors and the panel completed. '1 n> United States Circuit Court was \ L-o iv? ned at Ul o'clock Tuesday morning, Fudges Rond and Bryan presiding. Au immense crowd thronged the court room, ind considerable excitement was mani- 1 fested concerning the expected verdict in ! the case of thc United States vs. Wm. 1 Kerrigan, who was tried on Monday. ? The jury were promptly in their seats at 1 IO o'clock, and after being called ren- ? Jared a verdict ot guilty. > Thc grand jury were then called and | .vere handed several revenue cases by i he district attorney. Before retiring to 1 heir rooms, Judge Bond charged tho i ?rand jury as follows : I Gentlemen of the Grund Jury-You i lave been brought herc from different I nirts of the State to consider such mat- < era touching thc violation of thc laws of , 1 he United States as have been commit- ' cd in this district since tho hut term of < .his Court, lour jurisdiction is a limit- ? id one. You do not sit as the grand , I ury of the State Court does, having ju- j \ fsdiction over all cases touching viola- ? I ions of the law, but your jurisdiction is ] united to such cases as aro violations of ! j he United States Statutes, chiefly of "enecs against tho revenue laws of the United States and the laws enacted for he protection of thc elective franchise. - Respecting each of those classes of laws .here are alleged to be many viohftionr j n this district, and a great deal of public ixciteinent exists respecting the enforce- ! ? neut of the laws of the United Suites re lating to the elective franchise. I want, therefore, to caution you that whatevor feelings may exist outside of the Court j House, nothing of that kind should bc il lowed to approach thc court room. 1 Vou have taken a solemn oath that you ' will present no one from envy, hatred or ' malice, nor to screen any one for fear, J favor, reward, or hope of reward. No ? political bias or an effort to vindicate ' your political principles should influence j you. But while you should bo careful to lie free from all prejudice and bia?, yet it ? is equally true that you should do your duty fearlessly and enforce tho laws of the United States without respect to what anybody may think. You have I boen picked out from your fellow-citizens I because of your woll known good char acter and good sense, and I desire that you should vindicate the judgment of the Court in that respect by performing your duty fearlessly and impartially, lt would bc perfectly useless for me to say to you that without thc purity of tho ballot-box in a Republican country there could bc no good government. No mat ter which set of men may pollute the . ballot-box, nor what end they may seek to accomplish-whether good, bad or in different, nothing will justify the tam pering with the ballot-box. This is one instance in which the end never justifies thc means. One party may tamper with the ballot-box to-day and may to-morrow bc defrauded of their righta hy another party. Once allow tho sacred character of tho ballot-box to bo lost and the will of tho peoplo can never bo expressed. It is useless for mo to urge thij point upon you, however, for the man'who don't understand that the ballot-box is the Are of the Covenant of thc Republic and that no impure hands must touch it, can best be taught that lesson not by lec tures from the bench, but by fine and im prisonment. Tho Court charges you to calmly consider the alleged offences that will bc brought before you, and to pa&s upon them without partiality or fear. TIIK IRON-GLAD OATH. Thc assistant United States district at torney then sUited to the Court that as the government hud shown nine of thc jurors to bo disqualified to sit on thc jury by the application of thc tesl oath, he. moved that these gentlemen be dis charged, and that the marshal be in structed to summon nine new persons from the bystand? rs to take their places. Judge A. G. Magrath herc rose and said : Now, may it please the Court, this order asked for by the district attorney i-imt? mptntcs tho ?'?.-??>??;?- occlusion from this Court of certain persons who yester day were subjected to what was called a challenge for cause under Section 820 of tho Revised Statutes of the United States. I submitted to your Honors yesterday the point whether section 820 was of force or not, and I would ask now simply to state to your Honors the authority I have for so saying. In the first section of the act of April 20, 1871, it was de clared hy tho Congress of the Knited States that "the lirst section of the aet entitled an act defining additional causes of challenge and prescribing an addi tional oath for grand and petit jurors in thc United States Court, approved June : 17, 1872, be, and thc same is, hereby re- : pealed." There is no doubt that in 1871, at the time when this act was passed, Section 820 of the Revised Statutes oft the United States was no part of the laws of the United States. In the ease of Doyle against Wisconsin, 94, U. S. Re ports, 01, 4th Otto, the Supreme Court says: "Thc Revised Statutes arc a rc vision and consolidation of the old Stat utes rather than the enactment of new ." Section 5,600 provides that "thc arrange- j ment and classification of the several j sections of thc revision have been made for the purpose of a more convenient and orderly arrangement of tho same, and, therefore, no inference or presumption of a legislative construction is to be drawn by reason of tue title, under which any particular section is placed." * * "This makes it proper that wo should look to the original act to ascertain the legislative intent in case of doubt." niB REVISED STATUTES NOT LAW, ONLY EVIDENCE Ol' LAW. Your Honor is aware that I now state upon unquestionable authority that the second edition of tho Revised Statutes of the United States is not held to bc conclu sive evidence of what are the laws of the United States. And in this connection 1 would also refer your Honors to the fact that in thc second edition of the Revised Statutes, Section 5,095 declares that "Tho foregoing seventy-three titles embrace thc Statues of the United States, gene ral and permanent in their nature, in force the lat December, 1873, as revised and consolidated by commissioners ap pointed under an act of Congress, and the same shall be designated and cited as tho Revised Statutes of thc United States." Judge Bond: Certainly it is not con clusive evidence, but il is prima j'acic ev idence. Up to the first revision all an tecedent statutes wero repealed, and all ihc laws of the United States were re onaclcd in that first revision of thc stat utes. Judge Magrath: But your Honor will ! not hold that a section which was not a law of the United States, and may have found ils way into tho first revision, would be thereby law, because it is now found in the second revision? Judge Bond: But it was law in the first revisiou. It was repealed, re-enact ed in tim first Revised Statutes, and then became a part of the second revision. Judge Magrath: I submit that tho question of whether it was made law in tho first Revised Statutes depends upon whether it was an existing law of tho United States at the time of this first re vision. Judge Bond: No it don't. Judge Magrath : According to the rul ing of the Supremo Court your Honors ure not bound to accept this section as law simply because it is in ibis book. Holding therefore that this Section (820) ! is not of force, I submit that while thu cause of challenge is repealed by the re peal of the section, it would appear as if i tho Congress of the United States did not intend to take away altogether the ' , protection intended to be afforded by Section 820, and left standing us law section 821, but with this specialjsafe- < zuard altached : That it should not bo in the power of the district-attorney athis j pleasure to dictate would should or should ? lot be thc disqualification of a juror, but :iiat this test could only be applied when , ,t seemed proper in thc wise discretion of ."e court. And it is easy to seo why ( Congress would submit to your Honor's | < ivise discretion that privilege which it , A'OUld withhold absolutely from ils pros ecuting officer. I submit, therefore, that , tile cause of challenge as found in Sec- ( ion 820, is not of force, and that it is not ivitbin thc power of tho district-attorney ( :o apply that test, and that without the permission of the Court it cannot be ap- , plied. Judge Bond : This ARGUMENT CAN'T (?0 ON FOREVER. This question was decided yesterday, [f this section is repealed then I think .ve should at once inform Congress of that fact, because they have been trying tc I repeal thia very section for the last six weeks. The act says that inability to take this oath will act as a disqualifica tion, and is worse than an objection. If ?nch of these nine gentlemen who have been excluded had said that they were not 21 years of age it would have dis pjalified them. If it turns out that this ?rand jury has anybody on it who, with out coercion, gave aid and comfort io ino Confederacy, I am satisfied that no bill rr?n be found against any person by this grand jury who has not been bound over by a United States commissioner to ap pear before this Court, and who has not had the right and opportunity to exam ine the array. This is a distinct disqual ification, and while I am very sorry to lose the company of these gentlemen, yet I must ask them to retire, that their places may be filled dc circumetantibus. The district attorney said, with some alarm: May it please tho Court, if we arc not too iate, wo had better find out about thc grand jury. Wc did not put the oath to them. Judge Bond: But it is too late. We will take matters as they come. The order summoning nine additional jurors was then signed, and thc marshal . ...I il,.

Tho nssistnnt district attorney stated to thc Court that he had issued a subpo na duce? (ecum to the secretary of State to bring with him from his ollice at Colum bia certain poll lists on file there. That the secretary of State had failed to obey the subphrcna, and he desired a rule to issue against him to show cause why he should not bc attached. The rule was issued. STARVATION IN Eu Y rr.-Correspond ence of tho London Times dated Arment, Upper Egypt, February 24th, gives a heart-rending account of the condition of tho population of tho Nile Valley. The ucones described resemble those in India during tho recent famine. In some of tho villages the people arc past help, titting naked like wild beasts, eat ing roots and suffering with thc endur ance ?of despair. The madness worked on by famino stamps such a brand tho starving fellahs as cannot bo easily described. In ono town women and children fought over scraps of bread like wild animals. Tho case is believed to bo still worse in the inland hamlets, where thc villagers aro eaid to bo starv ing liku dogs. DUELS AROUND AUGUSTA. : Tho Codo'ti Campus .Martial* Sixty Years ABO. ! It may not bc generally li nowa that opposite th? old Arsenal, on thc tith er side side td thc river-the site of Campbcllton-scores of bostile meetings used tu take place, lt was the Sand Har Ferry of sixty vcars ago, and its rough gulleys are said to have echoed as often with thc dual snap of the pistol and tho twin crack (d'the rifle as the phantom ten pin halls once reverberated through the ravines of the Catskills. It was at a time when Southern gentry flourished in the finely-strung age of wealth and ease, and the Code of Honor, unmolested by law and tolerated in public opinion, operated as a corollary to the highly or ganized state of society. It wns then that every gentleman owned his horses, his dogs and his brace of pistols, and with an inherent love of sport and wor ship of courage, preserved a keen, wiry sense of honor. The duel existed, not as a relic of barbarism, but as a martial landmark ; for let it be remembered, that the wild ardi-r of the Involution had scarcely cooled upon the American mind, and the excitement of the war of 1812 was still upon tho people. To be sure, laws were enacted against duelling; thc Church and the State were its nominal enemies, but our forefathers seemed to have cherished an instinct which promp ted to the field of honor, rather than impelled to private broil or sped to vil lage vendetta. "To this custom," said a venerable mau the other day, "may have been due thc infrequency of the bloodshed and murder which now checker every locality with the roM//c ct noire of crime, and lill even our high pinces with deadly strife." "The Code," said he, "was a real conservator of society ; for men met like men, face lo face, under the sky in open enmbnt." Herc, then, on the banks ?if the quiet Savannah in the secluded nooks more fit to welcome the trapper with his bag or the angler with his rod, lay thc old battle ground, and on these grassy knoll.", guarded by stately pi nos and skirted with willow bushes, many a form sank down in blood. PACE A NI? DENT. Very few persons now living recollect the duel between Thomas Pace, of Col umbia county, and Columbus Dent. It was sixty-seven years ago, sprang from a political quarrel and was fought at Campbcllton. Dent is said to have chal lenged Pace and upon the latter's refus ing to meet him, published him. Subsc buently, Dent remarked that if Pace would now challenge, the duel might be made up. This reached Pace's ears, who concluded to send the bantered bittet, and a bloody meeting resulted. Dent, who is remembered to have been a cripple, first stood his ground in a bad positiou, and was killed at the lire. A STRIM, OT STRIKE. Pace, the survivor of this aflair, subse quently made sonic rcmraks about Lieut, lice, United States Army, who took it up and challenged the former. Pace was likewise successful in this meeting, shooting his antagonist through the knee. Eec recovered, however, and received, many years later, the rank of Captain. The next meeting was between Dr. Milledge dolphin and Dr. flaxton, of Abbeville. These gentlemen, while medical students, engaged in a boxing match, in thc course of which Gol ph in knocked Saxton down, whereupon Saxton challenged, dolphin accepted, and ehol bis adversary in the shoulder, wounding bin. painfully though not mortally This was in 1S1?. The year following Mr. James Steward, a resident of Colum bia county, and Mr. Goodwin-a Virgin' ian-came to Augusta to fight. Good win, who was about to engage in busi ness, ?as offended hy some letters, dc rogatory to bis financial standing, ant challenged Steward aa their author The utmost coolness prevailed among the combatants, Goodwin walking to tin battle ground with a dressing gown on und Steward deliberately pulling oil hi: coat, mid banging it upon a limb prepar atory to taking position. Ile was woun tied in the. shoulder on the first fire. Ii 1819, another duel was fought ii Campbcllton, between John Howard, o Milledgeville, and Richard I. Easter, o this city. Thc difficulty originated fron nonie remarks made by one concerninj a lady to whom the other was engagei to be married. The duel was fought a twenty paces, and the agreement wa that each person should fire as quick am us rapidly as possible, but were allowei to manouvre iu the field as they pleascc Easter was dropped at tho first lire, a bal perforating his hip. Sinking upon th ground, be lost his pistol from the jin but quickly recovering his weapon, h took deliberate aim and snapped. Wit the utmost interpidity he then lowcrc his arm ail''shouted to Howard, "Pr< ceed, a snap is a fire." Seeing that h adversary was wounded, however, Hov ard fired into the air, anti each nntagf nist, overcome by thc fairness t thc other, shook hands ami ende tho duel. Sometime during tl next year a bloodless meeting also toe place between Seaton Grantland. Sr., Slillcdgeville editor, and Chas. Abc crombie, a citizen of Hancock count This dispute was of a political natur and each ball found bloo.llcss pad Two Augusta carpenters, Middleton ai Handley were thc next to forsake tl handsaw andjackplane for ' derri ger. One of them tried . dermii the other in business, and .er arrivii on the field, lo which their quarrel dro them, they fired o IT their pistols and jo> ally reloaded for thc fray, in wliii Handley was slightly wounded. A ti.lME OP CARPS. Tho unfortunate meeting betwci Mitchell, of Twigg? county, Georgia, a Dr. Woolridgc, of Abbeville, S. < showed upon what trivial causea serin matters may rest. A question aroso a game of whist as to whether a plaj failing lo follow suit lost three trick? default, or forfeited the entire hand, quarrel nrose ; a challenge folio WC a fight ensued, and Mitchell fell dead the first fire. shot, through the heart, complete was the execution thal he m cr closed the eye with which he was ti ing aim. NOTHING Ht'T BLOOD. Many and oft were efforts made to p tie these differences. Hoards of Hoi were formed, matters frequently subn ted to full and fair arbitration, and g erally, were adjusted. Sometimes, h< ever, from thc mystery of an offense cc plications of thc injury or stubborness tho principals, no interference co avail. Of sonic such Hpccics of cc bi >ti was the fatal fray between Dr. Ita anda Mr. Mitchell, citizens cf Ealdi county. They came to Augusta det mined to fight and refusing to disci thc merits of their quarrel, went i immediato and deadly prcparati Hearing of the desperate nature of a fia a large crowd of spectators assembled Cambellton and thc Savannah ba were lined with turnout? and p'.'dcstrir The weapons used in the duel w?.re rif anil upon a renewal of offers for mcditat on the ground, one of them reit letal y cried, "No, there can be no set ment until ibis pouch of bullets is haustc I." Tho iii. t fire, at tho word command, rung oui clear und sharp, Lui each niau stood erect untouched, yet un compromising. The next mund, howev er, ended the tight, for Mitel ell fell dead upon the ground. This was in 1821. . dus Kenian, of MilledgcviUe, and tho elder Augustus S. Clayton shortly after ward exchanged two bloodless shots at the same place. KO)', rivi: SECONDS ! It was about this time, or shortly thereafter, that Gcncarl Blair, of Cam den, a noted character of Carolina, large, tall, manly and brave, having demanded satisfaction of Mr. Tom Evans, also of (."aulden, wounded tho latter in the shoul der. The parties met this time very near i tho ferry, and Evans fired immediate!) at the word. Blair look fine aim, as "two," "'.bree," "four," "five" were soun ded, fired accurately, hilting Evans, who had missed him, in the arm. While the latter was down and bleeding, General j Blair approached him ami said he was j glad that the wound was no worse, and j Evans, after thanking thc General, stated ; that he was glad to have been able to give him satisfaction. Evans ultimately | recovered, nod used to say that while i standing with his own empty pistol in hand, waiting to receive his assailant's ball, the count seemed to last five years instead of five seconds. REGRET AND REMORSE. It was not long after this that Hamil ton Wigfall, of Edgefield, was killed by Cogdell, of Charleston. The fight is said to have resulted from a college quarrel ; rifles were used to settle tho mutter at Camhcllton, and Wigfall received his death wound at first fire. Both were young men, and thc adair was deeply re gretted by all. and by no one more deep ly than Cogdell himself, lt was often thc case as in this one, that the surviving principal of a fatal duel ivas regretful It sometimes happened though, that his remorse was temporary. Recognizing tho fact that their adversaries had enjoyed equal opportunities, thematter, disturbing them at first, did r ot continue with niue!, depth or intensity. A veteran observer of duels remarked to tue writer the oth er day that the successful duelist would in some instances, he so perturbed as to ' be unable to enjoy the reception which ! their friends might give them at thc con- 1 elusion of tho fight. A case was recul- 1 lected in which thc haggard face of a dead enemy's widow haunted thc other party ever after. The recollection of the light had ceased to he of much moment until he chanced to meet thc lonely ' companion ol his fallen foe, and all the bitter memories of the feud came troop- ' ing back hoary and frightful from a pris oned past. KEW WARRIORS AND YOUNO BLOOD. A very strong effort was made in 1S23 to prevent the hostile meeting of two , aged citizens of Hancock county, Gu.- j Hamilton and Mitchel. They fought, , however, and one of i?iem was wounded . in tho mouth. Subsequently, Randolph ? of Charleston, was challenged and woun- , ded in the thigh by Samuels, of Edgefield. , Samuels, it appeals, had been a friend of Wigfall, who had been killed, and Ran dolph, made some remarks about tho duel. Some years later Burton, of Newberry, a large, stout man, fought Partlow, of Ab beville, near Sand Barr Ferry-tho wea pons being muskets. Burton fell dan- , gcrously wounded, and his death , is said to have been occasioned as much , by the great shock received in falling as , from his wound. It was in 1822 that ll ebon, of MilledgcviUe, was killed by Howard, of Baldwin county. ? Tho dilliculty resulted from Howard rc- , fusing to give Hebon's partner his hand in the dance. Tho lady in question had , refused to dance with Howard, hence j thiH slight from him, which Hebon re- , eented, challenging Howard lo meet him j near Augusta.

Editar Southern Cultivator : As you request your patrons to give you the results of experiments they make I heg leave to give you mine. For tho past three years I have entirely changed my manlier of applyiug manure to corn, and have also changed the implements with which I cultivate my com crop. So far as the preparation and culturo is concerned. I have abandoned the shovel, twister and bull-tongue, mid substituted therefor a light two-horse Avery plough. Ill st i If landa I use two nuiles, in light hind one, and break the land from three to live inches deep. I never break my hind but once, mid when broken I use the rotary and smoothing harrow until the clods are pulverized, and thc tussocks of grus -, and w eeds are all torn to nieces. The importance of thoroughly pulveriz ing is not appreciated by our fanners, although Jethro Tull demonstrated its wisdom upwards ofa hundred years ago. I then lav off my laud with a small straight shovel-shallow. The corn is dropped in this furrow, width govern*.d by the strength of the lain!. It is then covered with the rotary harrow. If go ing over the lam! once with the harrow does not till the furrow made bv the straight shovel I harrow until thc landis made level. When the corn is dropped, there is applied about 60 lbs. (to the acre) of a good commercial fertilizer, mixed with three times its bul! of vege table matter gathered in the field. When the corn has three or four blades, I go through il with the hoe or maltese cultivator, two furrows to the row, which cleans it thoroughly, and I do not go more Ihan two inches deep. I endeavor to run through the corn alter every rain, using Hie same implement. When the corn is knee or waist high, as conve nience suits, 1 npplv the bulk of my ma nure, which is a handful of acid phos phate, composted with stable manure. This is the quantity I direct to be ap plied, but my laborers lind it more con venient bi put half a handful, as they can keep up with the plough more easily. I care little whether thc manure is cov ered or not, but I do like to get a rain soon after. I then plough with a sweep ?iud continue willi thc sweep until the L'rop is laid by. 1 did not plant my corn hist year until I was done planting cotton, and Ibo seu uin was m ich more favorable to early than lo late planting, vet all my neigh bors' corn was bred by drought while mine remained green. I am now in my eightieth year, and I have been planting forty two years, yet I never saw a field if better upland corn, and all who saw it would say it was the best field of corn in Hie county. When the manure is put on top of the .'round, the first rain that falls carries all the fertilizing matter into the ground, where the roots are near thu surface, l'lie. roots run mostly two, three or four inches, except in a dry time, and if ma nure is put live inches below thc surface, ibo root seldom linds it. CllKSTKR. (.'hester, S. C., March fi, 1871?. Compensation for Slaves, In answering a question, the Chicago Ti Hame revives some interesting passages ">( history. Il shows that President Lin coln made repeated elforls during tho war to bring about gradual emancipa tion, accompanied by Government coin- i ncii.-alion to the owners of slaves for the loss of their property. A year after his inauguration ho recommended tho pas sage of a resolution declaring that "tho United States ought to co-operate with iiny State which may adopt gradunl abol ishment of slavery, giving to Buch State i pecuniary aid, to be used by such State in its discretion, to comp?nsalo for the inconveniences, public and private, pro Juccd by such change of system." Ho mid that thc initiation of auch a policy would end thc war itself by extinguish ing thc cause and motive of the war. The resolution was approved by both tranches of Congress, but thc South, at hat time, wa* on thc full tido of success , md paid no attention to the action nf ho Federal Government. Her peoplo were then fully persuaded that they ivould bo able to build up a separate na tion, nnd preserve the system of slavery unimpaired. In April, 1SG2, the Presi dent gave bia assent lo a bill abolishing ?lavery in the District of Columbia, and appropriating a million of dollars for tho Buicpeusation of the owners of alav?s. A few months later Mr. Lincoln, seeing that nothing could bo dono with tho purely Southern States, endeavored to get thc border States of Maryland, Mis souri and Kentucky to consent to gradu al emancipation, accompanied by Gov ernment compensation, not exceeding three hundred dollar i ?icr slave. i>ul thc peoplo of those Commonwealths could not seo that this "peculiar institu tion" waa doomed and would not accept threes hundred dollars for property then worth perhaps a thousaud. They de clined thc proposition, and in thc end had to submit to immediate emanci pation without any compensation. It is a little singular that thc Southern States which seceded from lbj Union because they believed their slave property waa in danger, and that thc Southern people who waged a long and bloody war in order lo set un a Confederacy in which slavery should be secure and who reject ed an oller of gradual emancipation, ac companied by compensation with scorn, should in thc end witness tho con Cn-ca tion of :;!1 their immense slave properly with a'.arcely a pang ot regret. Lesa than twenty years ago thc Southern peo ple were prepared to stake, and did stake, everything is defense of slavery, yet to day lhere ia not one in a thousand who would not object vo return to tho oid system. They can sec now that slavery was a curso instead of a blessing, and they are glad that it baa been forever abolished. It is curious to note that Mr. Lincoln's first scheme contemplated the deportation of slaves as rapidly as they were emancipated and their colonization in some tropical climate.

Tho would-be assassin of the Czar is now undergoing examination. A full official account of tho affair says : "To ward 8 o'clock this morning, as the Em peror was taking his custouifaiy walk a respectably dressed man, wearing a mili tary cap, with a cockade, advanced to ward him, and JIB tho Emperor approach ed nearer drew a revolver from the pocket of his overcoat and fired four shots at him. Thc assassin, before submitting to his captors, fired another shot, slightly wounding in tho check a person in the crowd. Tho great throng of people which had assembled enthusiastically cheered and congratulated. The Empe ror thanked them for their proof of fidel ity on such a painful occurrence, lie aaid he knew ho had tho support of all respectable people. Ho hoped God would grant that ho might completo his tusk, which consisted in promoting the welfare of Russia. Tho Emperor, aftf ? the foregoing speech, drove to tho palace without escort. He has not suffered tho least ill effect from the attempt upon bis life. Afterwards he drove, still without escort, to the Kazan Cathedral, to return thanks for tho preservation of his life. When receiving tho congratulations of thc officials of tho Empire at noon, tho Czar waa so much overcome by his en thusiastic reception as to bo unable to speak for BOIDO minutes. On recovery from ilia emotion, ho said : 'Thia is tho third time God has saved mo.' The Em peror's assailant took poison before his attempt, aa ho vomited after his arrest Poison wits also found under bia finger nails. Antidotes were administered. It ia thought tho man was an employee of tho Ministry of Finance and an agent of tho Internationals. Tho Sultan and all of the European sovereigns have tele graphed their congratulations." Enormous Crops of 1873. The December Report of the Depart ment of Agriculture just published at Washington, gives tho latest estimates of the month. Tho following summary of it will ahow how cloaely it approximates to thu figures on tho subject we placed before our readers during tho fall. Ac cording to tho report, tho corn crop for 1878 ia some 30,000,000 bushels lurger than that of 1877. The oat crop is some what in excess of that of 1877, making it tho largest ever raiaed in this country. Thc average yield per acre is, however, less than in 1877, and thc quality in most of the States is inferior. There is no material chango in the burley crop of 1877, except that California increased her acreage from 450,000 to 050,01)0 acres, and almost doubled her yield per acre. Tho total product for the year will bo in round numbera 42,000,000 bushels against 84,500,000 bushels in 1877. The rye crop ia about one-sixth larger than in 1877, but the quality of tho crop is in ferior in tho New England (except Con necticut) and Southern States, while in the States of tho West, Northwest and Pacific Slope it is superior, except in Il linois aud Nebraska. The potato crop BIIOWS a decline as compared with 1877, though thc average area waa about tho same, tho difference being ICBB than one per cent. Tho average yield of the whole country will bo 60 bushels per aero against 94 bushels in 1877, making a total product in round numbers of 124, 000,000 bushels for 1878, against 170, 000,050 in 1877. The hay crop ia 20 per cent greater than last year. Sorghum is receiving increased attention, especially in thc trans Mississippi States and Terri tories. In Stearns county, Minn., the variety called Amber Cane is reported as yielding aa high as 300 gallons of syrup "per acre. Delaware county, Iowa, man ufactured 100,000 gallons of syrup during the year, and found a home demand for tlie whole. The tobacco crop is larger and exceptionally good. - Here ia a copy of a letter written by a certain Second-street beauty yesterday to a worthy youth of Louisville : "My Lord : Would it Hatter you any should I tell you that I lay awake nearly all last night trying to decide whether ? shouid write you this note to-day ?

Adrice to Old Mea by s Boy. I can not pick up a newspaper with out "Advice to Boys" stares mo in the face. Old men write it, I o'pose. No body else is capablo of giving any ad vice* to boys ; ot course not I Ikey know all about us, they do, 'cause they've been there. Advice is a good thing to have, no doubt, and no family should be with out it, but a teller don't want to bo crammed with it all the time to tho ex clusion of ail other diet. Now old men need advice occasional ly, but in looking through the newspa pers I dont see as they ?et it. So I thought I would just wrtto a little Advice to Old Men myself, if I nm not presum ing too much, (as Aunt Chloe says,) and I presume I am. lu tho first placo you chops ought to get over telling how much smarter boys ivcre .vhcu you were young, than boys iro now.

Grandfather, vho hus got tho gout, and half a dozen lifferent kinds of rheumatism, is always aying that. I heard him singing he other day. "I would I were a boy gain." I would ho were. If I couldn't ?cat him running, and flop bim on his tack, sulcholt, I don't want a cent. 1 wouldn't go so far as to say, "Parents ibey your children," but I would suggest o fathers that they give us boys a bcar ng occasionally, on matters in which we re the ones roost interested. Don't nuke us go and slide down hill when wo rant to skate, and don't try to make irencbere of us when wo much prefer to un a saw mill. This is figurative, but I ness you know what I mean. After giving us boys sage advice about ur conduct, and how to behave, you old len ought to bo careful how you get to Blnting your boyish scrapes to each ther and laughing over them bef'^e wc aro ut of earshot. Tho other d^y grandfa ?er read mo a long lecture about tho ?gilts of property, temperance, and Sab ath breaking.

I know grandfa icr's rheumatism was a great deal worse io next day, and he complained about is liver. Old mon ought to ho careful bout taking too much punch. I have noticed old men hate to give up tat they can't stand as much aa they sed to, or as younger men can. They nt marl if a feller like me hints thal loy can't. But what's the uce of fool ?g yourselves ? We've all got to play it sonic day, and when a mau feel., ho losing his grip, why not como down racefuTly and acknowledge tho corn ? Now, in the above remarks, I don't can any disrespect. I like old men in leir place, but don't want so much of ?eir advice. Give tho boys a chance.
