Among the thousands of relics in he United States National Museum t Washington, there are few objects nore replete with historical interest han a certain Deringer rifle, cataogue number 9,509. This rifle was ised by Col. David Crockett, of Alano fame, and was also the weapon ired by the Hon. Wm. J. Graves in he duel with the Hon. Jonathan Cil ' ~ ^ h " /\P fU A 1 A f _ By, resulting ill Uie ueatu yi mo laier. It was made about a hundred ears ago, and the curator of the diision of technology says it is an xceedingly well-made an-d finely nished gun, being still in excellent ondition. It is a 44 calibre, muzzle fading sporting rifle; the octagon ifled barrel is 45 inches long, and itted with a full stock of curley laple, plain open sights, a percusion lock, and a "set" trigger. Col. Wright Rives, U. S. A., who as deposited the rifle in the musem, states that it was made for his ather, John Cook Rives, by Henry leringer, celebrated for manufacturag superior fire arms, particularly he well-known pocket pistol, known s the Deringer. John C. Rives was ne of the publishers of the Conressional Globe, now the Congresional Record, and knew many conressmen, several of whom he was ccustomed to take out for rifle pracice to a field, sometimes used for orse racing, near where the corner f 14th street and Park road now atersect. Among them was David Irockett,. pioneer, hunter, soldier, nd congressman from 1827-31, and 833-35, who later lost his life at he Alamo, in the Texas struggle for reedom. Crockett seemed to par ' ?? 1S1 J- T _iiJ. J _ ii. icuiariy iiKe tnis rnie, auu yiitjii oined the shooting parties to keep limself in practice. The circumstances which led to the atal duel between Messrs. Graves nd Cilley, of the house of represenatives, in which this rifle figured so onspicuously, were quite unusual nd more or leiss complicated. The eport of the investigating committee ppointed by the house, covers the tory of this duel well; an abstract f it taken from "Notes on Duels and >ueling," by Lorenzo Sabine, foldws : On February 12, 1838, Henry A. Vise, of Virginia, presented to the ouse a copy of the New York Cour*r and Enquirer, charging a memer of congress with corruption, and sked for an investigation of the harge. Mr. Wise stated that the uthor of the article was vouched for y the editor of the paper, and that he house was called upon to defend Is honor. Jonathan Cilley, member rom Maine, opposed the resolution, nd in debate said that if it was the ame editor who once made charges gainst a certain institution, and laar received facilities amounting to ^ 9 fi A H frftm comfl inoHfnti'rtn V?y jV V V I.A VU1 VUV OU1UW iUOtlVUVAVU) rhich he then gave his hearty suport, he did not think the recent har.ges were entitled to much'credit 1 an American congress. Mr. Cilley -as in order. He was quoting a pubshed house committee report on the ubject, but a few days later the ediDr of the paper, Col. James Watson Vebb, addressed a note to him askigHf he were the editor referred to, nd if so, demanding an explanation. This note was directly responsible or the duel between Mr. Cilley and William J. Graves, of Kentucky, who ndertook its delivery on the floor of he house for his friend, Col. Webb. Ir. Cilley refused to receive the note, ecause he chose to be drawn into no ontroversy with Col. Webb, stating y so doing he meant no disrespect o the bearer, but he refused to afrm or deny anything in regard to Jol. Webb's character. Mr. Graves ras not satisfied, however, and sevral notes between them were exhanged, with the result that Mr. Iraves finally challenged Mr. Qilley, ocause he would not say wrhether he ? - > * * Ai- - a _ n erusea me note on me grounas 01 ,ny personal exception to Col. Webb .s a gentleman and a man of honor. Naturally, Mr. Cilley denied Mr. iraves th$ right to demand an absoute "yes" or "no" answer and acepted the challenge. It was a com>at under the Duello, or Code, upon i mere point of honor, there being to real difficulty between Graves and Cilley at the time. Their seconds, the Hon. George W. rones, delegate from Wisconsin Ter'itory, for Mr. Cilley, and the Hon. 5enry A. Wise, of Virginia, for Mr. Jraves, arranged the details of the luel, which was fought with rifles at i distance of about ninety yards, lear the road to Marlborough, in Maryland. Mr. Wise experienced some difficulty in securing a rifle for Mr. Graves's use, but finally succeeded in borrowing Mr. Rives's Deringer rifle, which is now in the section ot gunnery of the museum. The duel was scheduled for 3 p. m., on February 24, 1838, and the two parties met near the boundary line of the district, on the Marlborough road. Mr. Cilley, was accompanied by his second, Mr. Jones, bis friends, Mr. Bynum, of North CJarolina, and Col. James W.
