Another DneL A correspondent of the Charleston Courier narrates the particulars of a duel which oc curred, on the 8d initant, between Geo. Saunders, of Alabama, and Judge Evans, of Mississippi. Tho scene of action was somewhero between Marion, Miss., and Mt. Sterling, Ala. At tho first round Gen. Saumdkbs was wounded iuthe arm. The third ronni ho was again wounded?slightly, in the breast; and at the fifth round Judge Evaxs fell, dangerously wounded. *+ Tho origin of the difficulty was as follows: " 'i- " ' U.WUV vnciTU luuubjio U^U, W1U liiwrury OOOIGIJ of the Western Military Academy in Alabama elected Gen. Sao.hderb to deliver tho annual address. He left in a short timo after his appointment and came to Charleston, 8. C. On his return to Alabama, about the first of April, he found that Judge Evans had been appointed in his stead- to deliver the address^ the Society thinking that Gen. S. would not return in time to do so. After his return, the commencement day arrived ; both these gentlemen attended, and both made speeches. Evans spoke first.? lie alluded in his remarks to the General's leaving so soon after his appointment* and said that "ho fled from the undertaking." In his reply, Saundkhs explained the cause of his visit to Charleston, and pronounood the assertion of Evans false, besides using other abusive language. A challenge ensued, and the affair terminated as aforesaid. *wg? n n nti TO_ofCbarlestoD, which place lie left when quite; young, and "weutfco Miwiqippi.

It was in October, 1847, that I wasouo of the trmy in the city of Mexico. I was at tho timo n the command of a small guard at the quarora of Gen. Pillow. It was early in tho mornng, and I hod just takon a drink of aloUt, whioh ! bought from an old Mexican woman, and stared to my room at tho palace, about a half mQo >ff, to get ibreakfast Before I had gone far I >ogan to foel sickness at tho stomach, andgiddiicss in tho head, and staggered and reeled so hat I could scarcely keep my feet. I mado everal efforts to braco up and walk straight, nit so far from walking straightly, tottered and taggered in evoiy direction, and camo very tear falling.

It is made. >f corn meal and swcctcnod with sugar, and is i very pleasant and popular drink. The first iving thing astir in the morning, is the old wonan sitting at the street corner awaiting to re ail stole to the passer-by. *1 knew there was nothing intoxicating in itole, and could not account for tho inexplica jlc ntato of affairs l>y tho consoling conviction ,lmt I was drunk. Tlicro was but ono conclusion, which was .hat I was poisoned, and that ono fastened so strongly upon my mind as to cxcludc any othar. I expected to bo dead in a few moment*, ind I hastened to get to my room, and write a few hasty lines beforo I died. Tho earth shook ind reelod beneath*my feet, but I still kopt on x>y dubious way, attributing it to a dolusion >f my senses by poison. I reached tho Grand Plaza, and fivo or six thousand peoplo wero un)overed upon thoir knees, praying vehemently, ffbilo a hundred bells were ringing and scores >f priests wero running about in hurry iand ilarm, gesticulating, praying, and going through i variety of corcrnonies which I did not under itand. Such an oxtraordiaary spectacle, together with tLc heaving of the earth, might iave suggested to me tho idea of an earthquake. Ifet it did not. I came up to a pool of watoiy ind it was violently agitated, and running from lide to side.
