There never was nn nge ill the annals of time, or ii country on the face of the globe, where duelling prevailed to such nn extent as it did in the early history of Arkupsa*. Vat one public muu ever attained to any cons?iilu<:<|ble eminence, either professional or poetical, in that purple land where law insured siot life, without first passing through the or deal of blood and nro on the miscalled held of honor. Tbe Rectors Conway*, Crltten^ dens, Seviera, Jlohoftonrt and Borland*?evow ry name of cote that can bo mentioned?all f furnish so many examples of ibis strange yet I goneral rnle. liven the learning and eloipienoe of the mild and merciful lawyer and Pike, to achieve influence or distinction, availed not until he had proved his prowess in mortal combat with a redotib fable fbc. In liddiilolt ttttSie usual causes operating >\ pt? ail frontiers to produce such a rtate of society, another one existed m the stoimy aca Indeed, the uuivorsal opinion of the community regarded bloodless encounters as shameful in the extreme?worse even than positive cowardice'; and a# every candidate for popular favor had prepared himself, well, by long practice, to use the last great argument, which closed nil discussion and silenced the most stubborn objector, very few meetings occurred where the spectators were not gratified by witnessing the slaughter of one or both of the ambitions rivals. As may be easily imagined, the poet of an editor w as most perilous of all otbers ; and hence the opposing factions respectively selected the entire coips to innnage their journals from the n&st desperate adventurers that could he mustered, and paid them sc cording 10 Jo their own fighting and thr.t of all their anonymous correspondents. In some instances, thousands of dollars were expeuded as mere premiums, besides the offer of eiioinunis salaries, to secure the pen and pistol of the most notorious duelists in the Bouth-west. I would specify one man, An ex-Senator, who owed his rise to this very circumstance. llowever. leaving these vague generalities, the tollovy ing brief sketch of striking and reel particulars will afford h tolerable conception of the stern tiials of editorial life : Early in lite month of Jytly, 1830, Isrenl Woods, the proprietor of the Arkansas Dctn ocrat was tented in his sanctum busily em ployed in the manufacture of written slander for his weekly paper. A single glance at his person was truly enough to make an ordinary beholder tremble with appreben sion ; for you might search the world over without finding his superior in physics! power and agility. In the pride of youth and robust health, he seemed a mighty mass of iron bone* nn<l elastic fiuewg?strong as the mythic Milo when he rent the r.u-ient oak*. His hands looked like sledge hummers, and his ceunlcnnnco bore the impress of reckless bravery?? sort of mulo defiance and challenge to all the heroes of the human race. II is eyes were of a peculiar tint?that tierce, reddish-yellow which resembles the iris of the eagle?of all colors considered the sign of the tuo-l dangerous character. indeed, ho ; had acquired his title to be "tj^fbtptnoMt in the highest class of the fighting cliTvalry by daring feats performed in all the principa. cities of tbe South, fiom Charleston to New Orleans, Nevertheless, bo had more sense than to rely for impunity on the terror which his name so irresistiby inspired. Ilinollice was an armory. A huge and double barrelled shot gun bung at a shoit distance above his head, and half a dozen loaded pistols lay beside Iiiin on the table, whilst the silver hilt of a dag#?r po*po<j from beneath his vdst. He waa xosdy for immediate battle, whoever might be the assailant. Suddenly footsteps rcsouuded on the ttoor ImliinH film unit a turcd man, of middle age, with long flowing hair of raven hue, aud flashing black eyea, rushed into (he mimh in a elate of wild and almost frenzied excitement, and threw himself into a sent. > Tho editor, at first anticipating a hostile visit, cocked n revolver, but instantly perceiving bis mistake, deposited the weapon at his elbow, exclaiming as .lie did so, "what now, Ellis Wharton? Is thero a new tempest brewing iu the political atmosphere f" "Just look here !: ejaculated the other with an infuriate gesture, pointing to a column of tha Aikan.-as Whig, which he leld up, with the ink cot yet diy on the paper. Woods snatched the article from the fingers of his fiiend, and devouring the contents with a rapid glance, uttered a malediction too horrible to record, while bit. very lip* turned white .vnith rage and disappointment. "Is not that loo bad !" vociferated Wharton, clinching the interrogatory with a still mere dreadful oath. "Who could have expected,-in the meridian of Little Kock, to toe a philfipic against duelling ?" "And an appeal to the religious prejudices of the, people!" added the editor, frowniug till hie brows met in a frightful arch, "Yes, and tlier.unuing scoundrel has managed to lay nil the blame of such otmbals on ?J?* n^iiHK'rais, from the first of the country !" nfliimed the other. "And he line given the history of all my encounter*, fioii. my stabbing a sophomore at the UuiveiMty < ( V irginia, till my rifle battle with Dr. Wilson!** complained Woods, j " itnl that tirade alone will do more in jury to <mr party than anything that has happened tor year*," remarked Wharton. "Who can the writer be?" asked the editor in a musing tone, "I cannot so much aa imagine," relumed the friend. "It is not the learned and lugu brious style of Pike, nor the abowy declamation of Absoiom Fowler. It must be aotpe new baud in the prolific field of Whiggery." "What shall we do|to a pike this fiesh gun In the battery I for unless that be accomplishedjfwe shtii loss the election," said the editor, with a look of soro a nbai raiment* "You must demand the author, and proyoke bin* tc an inurv?ew.'>uggested Wbar At the moment William, the elder brother ofEliae Wharton, entered the sanctum, exclaiming, aI have discovered the writer of the article signed Vindex." "Who is bet who is be I" indeed the political comrades in the same eagerly impetuous breath. "You would never conjecture in a thousand guesses," replied the other. uLet us know at once, do not keep us in suspense." ' Levi Coleman, the young Methodist preacher." "The devil !'* shouted the astonished edi tor. "The devil!" ft-hoed l.ia sympathising friend. 4,iIow did vou leaiti so strnnge u fact r "From the fori man of the Whig office? in the strictest confidence, however, so that you must not hint nt the source of the information." "And now what is to he done?" they nil inquired together. "The caso is complicated with seiious difficulties," observed Elian Wharton, "for if we let the matter pans in silence, the rascally?hypocrite will become holder in his attack, and if wo punish his insolence an it decern a, every Methodist in the State will probabh be cast against us." After reflecting a few minutes, tho jouinalist sprung to bis feet crying out furiously, "I will fix the base wretcb, so ihat the members of his own sect will disown him !" And he hastily buckled on his belt, and filling it with pistols, rushed forth into the streets As chance would have it, tho youthful minister was at that instant walking by the door. Ue was a slender, pale faced man, with a fair complexion, biiflrhf blue eve*, and ft countenance of profound and even poetic thought apparently incapable of resisting a shadow of aggression, or so much us banning a fly "Aie you the author of Vindex,in the recent number of the Arkai sus Whig I' demanded Woods, advancing so near to bis intended victim that tlmr heads almost touch ed. **I am," anawend Coleman, in his clear silver voice, without betraying the faintest alarm. ''Then thus I chastise your impudence and falsehood !" shouted the enraged editor, seizing the clergyman's no*e with a gitop of iron, and spitting scornfully in his mouth. "If I did not onto to have the foul stains of your polluted blood on the now pure record of rny conscience, I would teach you a lesson never lobe forgotten until your dying day " remarket] Coleman, as calinly as ifiu I a prayer meeting. "Away with you, pnltroon and liar!" or- ; dercd Woods, administering several con temptuous kicks as tire other retreated slow ly from the inglorious field. Tiro rumor of the affair circulated with in conceivable rapidity, and immediately be- : i came the subject of general conversation ;! j but singular as it inay seem, everybody tie- } nounced the juvenile preacher, so that hi , sunk down at once from the pinnacle of pop- i ulsrity to the lowest abyss of shame and <te I gradation; and on the subsequent Sunday, when he ascended the pulpit, not half u do* ' en hearers attended the service. His chosen Church deserted him as a .coward?'lor that ' was the real cause of utfcuce,although runny ' disguised the fact under tire flimsy pretax! i that they disapproved of his conduct intmd | dling with questions of politics. It is impossible to pnrint the emotions of the young minister when he witnessed tiiis result, and saw himself entirely abandoned by bis spiritual flock. Even the negroes and boys taunted him as a coward w henever he appeared in the streets, and Iris affianced bride, a lady of great beauty and intelligence, gave him a cola and cruel dismissal. Had he been proved guilty of burglary or theft, his disgrace could not have been snore. No one, therefore, wondered when he w ithdrew from tho fellowship of the Methodist < denomination, and shut himself up ir. the eolttude of his private apartment, as many supposed in a condition bordering on men tal derangement. The following week, how, ; ever, regaled the fruits c/ Ids meditations in 1 su unexpected manner that startled the w hole i city. Another article came out in the Ar- i kansas Whig, and this over Lovi Coleman's j own signature, which oxcelb-d any satire ov- 1 er before seen in the South w est for aw fid, { boundless, bitter denunciation. Every wnf i ture of the cx preacher's pen seemed like the I flash of an internal sword?every word pie# i ced like the thrust of a poisoned dagger. < The editor of the Heroeerat and ail his friends ?indeed his whole party,and even his fain* I iiy, were subjected to the penalty of summary massacre. Lie dragged into the light ail < their private as well as political sins, and I accused them of imaginary crimes, that I eaused every reader to tgrp whito with hor* ror. ( Then, m soon tu tiie ncwepaper was Ueued, he left hie rooin end promenaded the < publip thoroughfare witlt the proved n.?>U lofty ? tread of a hero, accompanied by lYut No r, mile above Little K.ok; Xti.l never cHd a t greater concourse of spectators awui In to be* I hold h similar scene. I At the appointed hour, the second*, Ellas c Whnrton foi Woods, end Kent Noland for l Coleniah, stationed their piitteipals in posi- t lion, and the anxious throng aetnally trem- I bled, in fearful expectancy of the brutal f signal. Indeed, the proximity of foes was so i close that the escajm of either with life, < seemed altogether hopeless. In the meantime a wondeifnl change had a been wrotfght in the aspect of the fonnerly * mild ami merciful minister.

At length the signal sounded, nnd both weapons roared apparently together,.yet, in fact, Coleman's had the precedence by some half a second, nnd thai diminutive Augment of duration made all the difference of an entire eternity in the result.

I tr no t'ie recent tiip of the steamer Empire City fr cm Havana *o this poit, nti ineideyt occurred which lefi m diepand permanent impression upon the minds oi all who were on board. Death-is at nil times n fcaiful thing ; but when the King of Terrors claims his own tijvon the sen, and rudely severs the associations which invariably connect those who journey together upon the gnat deep, a peculiar ficling is expui enced that lingers upon the mind, and causes one to remember vividly for years, which would, under other circiiinstunts, pass away like th.o summer breeze, leaving little or no trace upon the ntetmry. The wttne day the s entner left Havana. Apiil lltli, it was reported to Capt. Windl* that one of the cabin passengers, Mr. Jos Wateiman, foimurlv of Galveston, Texas, had died at three o'clock, of tonsuntplioN^ and in accordance with the customary tisa gos observed at sea, the remains were placed in n haiutuock and laid upon the quarterdeck, in older to l>e buried at sunset.

Tho remains, which had 'ocen coveted by tbe United States flag, were laid upon a pLtik nt the stern of the steamer, anu as the diip'a hell began to toll the intervals, the Irretlitcn formed a circle around the corpse, when the Masonie burial service was beautifully dcliveied by Fast Master J- K.
