The Battectneman and tVagover.
Yesterday we laid By at the Htttfe

and two l?wjta%* the pMC of the
whole' countty round, Were to take
the Held. ijgunst enAlr btherj In a suit
between a wagoner and a batf eaux
mnn, in a case of assult ami b attety.
You are to understand the beautiful
river Slienandoah passe* not far from

teauxs, while at, no , great distance
runs the #*at wtstern road, which is
travelle4by Ift nountry wagon

? half hotse, h*tf alhgator < others
ed accordingly their of in
of mankind. The batteaxmen are
f vr the most part composed of mate
rials equally combustible; and the
consequence is, that occasionally,
wlbeh they meet, they strike Are, am
blow up the powder magazine each
can tea about him, * in the form of a
heart. _ ^
The history of the present contest
as detailed by the awhwl for the
plaintiff, is as follows: ? Chic summer
cVenlttg, whefithe mild air, the pur
ple lint, the ?reen earth, and the
bine sky, all Seemed to invite to peace
anil repose, thebattemixmnn fastened
hi# boat to the stump of a tree, lighted
his fire to broil his tweon, and t>egan
to sing tile famous esng of " Possum
up the gum tiee." By ami Hy a Went
country wagoner chanced to come
jmgjKn^ his hem that way, and stop
ping hi** wap;on unbooked his horses,
carried them round to the little trough
at the back of hi? vehicle, gave them
some, shorts, nat hiitmlf (Sown at the
top of the Ymnk, below w hirh the l>at
teauvnmn was sitting in hi* boat, and
N gan to whistle *? Tlie battcauxman
tobbed the otd Wonsn's tm knwtH
ThebaHeauxman cocked up his eye At
the wagoner, and the wagoitrr look
ineaskancedown on the bateaux man,
toolt m, chew of tobacco with a leer
batteauxman drew out his whiskey
bottle, took d drink, and pit tbe cork
in again, at the same time thrusting
his tongue in his cbeek in a mariner
not tD be borne. The wagoner dap
ped his bands against his hips, and
crowed like a cook ; tbe batteauxmah
curved bis neck and neighed like *i
ho*se.rrB&ng, howeycr, men of ra
the* phlegmatick habits, they kept
their tempers so far as not to come to
blows just then. In a few minutes
the wagoner swore " be had tliehand
somest sweetheart of any man in all
Gfreenbriar.' The batteauxman jutnp
ed up in a passion, but sad down
agniti^ and took * drink. ? In a few
toittutea the w agoner swore u lie had
^the finest horse of any ifcait in a hun
dred miles." The Bitteitixniau
, hounced up, putted the waistbaud of
^ his ttowsers, took atidthor drink and
bounces! down "fegain; A minute fcf?
ter the wagoner s wove u he had a bet
ter rifle than any mkn that fcver wove
a blue jacket;" Tills was too much
? for the batteauxman wore a jacket
of tlftfLt colouf, and of course this
amounted to a personal insult. Be
Aides, to attack a man's rifle ! He
any reflection on hii
Sweetheart, or bis hotse ; but to touch
his rifle, ^ras to touch his bono*. Off
went the blue jacket ; the bitttcaux
man scrambled up the bank,and *et to
tommenced that ended in a tottl dis
comfiturfS of the wagoner, with the
loss of three ^fhia grinders, attd the
fiain of " divers hwtt and bloody
bruises," as honest Lfthgnw says. ?
Tbe batteanxman waited till themoon
rose, when he went whistling down
; the. stream to tiarry the ne*Vs of bis
Victory to old Potoraack ; ami the
poor wagoner Vtent i to take the law,'
: as a man says When the la vt is about
to take him. r*

It being ydU know tin' grfcrit object of
the law to find out which |Uit-ty is in
I the wrong, the layyer <>f each side
^labours of course to throw tlm impu
tation on his adversaries client. It
appeared clearly enough that the bat
t&auxman made thefir&t assault, but it
also appeared in evidence that crow
ing like acock was a direct challenge,
according to (lie understanding of
these people ; that undervalue a
t batteauxman'fc sweetheart or horse,
whetlier he had auy or not mm a
mortal insult 5 and tor insinuate any
inferiority itf his riffle, was an ofibnee
which tto on fe conW |w!hip #Hfe with
out di&honor; that stich points of ho
nour constituted th* chivalry of these
} people ; that no ckf? of manh)afis
without something of this riature ?
! thai however low a man may be, there
art insults he cannot fcubuiittp, with*
out being disgraced among his equals
who constitute his world-? and that
to oblige him in any situation, to out
up with disgrace was to debase his
^liat?to? and to destroy every manly
pfttfciple wfithin, him. Trwiug as
this may appear, k called forth a dis
play of talent, and a depth of $pves
ligation as to how far it was possible,
and if possible, Ikjw far it was saluU
rv, to attempt to repress the ojfera
; tion of tliose feelings w sjrnr men I
in rfl situations to avoid disgrace at
the risk of every thing, that me

They were both young inert, new to
the bar, &c. yet they spoke with a
degree of fluency as well as pos
session which is seldom exhibited by
our young lawyers of the cities, whoae
Snius is too frequently rebuked by
e presence of an audience they can
hardly hope to please, disheartened
by the supercilioda airs of the elder
counsel, or ovcriiowcred by the dead
ening sense of inferiority.
