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.

To say the very leosVsuch occurrences are

I such tragical results of foolish quarrel#, but the

the bounds of courtesy and propriety, were

for a while would no doubt'be quite punctual
in tho~ performance of volunteer duty. But
i we predict for such organizations as volunteer
battalions and regiments, a stormy and evan?sccnt
carecr. The thing would be a signal failure.
Suppose tho Legislature of .South Carolina
should demolish the present system, and al
low tho citbtcns of the State to muster or not,
just as might seem good to them, and a vary respectable
majority of them woro to undortabo
a system of volunteer military duty, how long
before disaffection would nriso, strife crawl in,
and disorganization ensuef Battalions, regiments,
and brigades would certainly bo found
altogether too large and unwieldly for management
by any command unless it were invested
with legal authority. Innumerable' questions
of d is tractive character wduld inevitably
arise?elections, appointments, (a most fruitful
source of jealousy,) trials for default, and so on
?and as there would be no law binding them

whole files would qnit tho field. Wo conclude
sotno other attract! vo power than mere military
prido la necessary to tho perpetuation of any
system of soldiery.
It might bo that a kind of optional system
would be more offcctivo and accommodating.
That is, lot tho alternatives, master or pay a
tax, be presented. Money, we know, is very
potential, and next to law wonld perhaps do
most in filling up battalion ranks, but many,
very many, would prefer any reasonable tax to
the field and drill.
It is not our purpose though to enter into a
discussion on tho subject of mlitary reform.?
Individually, wo care little whether the system

change, it is their right to know what movements
are being mado in regard to it in other
quarters of tho State. A majority of tho citizens
of South Carolina might desire a chanen

the press owes it to them to impart that knowledge
to tho extent of its capability, its aversion

As to tho charge of " promulgating sectarianism,"
I was not awaro until you informed mc,
that I was guilty of that tin. Tis true, I maintained
my own viows of Christianity, hut I have
not done so at tho expenso of any other denomination.
Malice and sectarianinrt are two ingredients.
foreign to my composition. My object,
at least, was to portray the char deter of the

to build up a liberal Christianity. " Liro and

juuivu. xi x cuuiu iiavo reasoned, and bad
lot been under a strong delusion, I could not
lave beon so mistaken.
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. I thought of the old woman and
lie atole, and felt certain that bIio liad poisoned
nc. Atole is a drink, in consistence and appearance,
between soup and mush. 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. A largo fountain of water wfa in
.ho centre of the Plaza, and nearly all df it . was
lashed out by tho violont shaking of the earth.

pool of water running violently from side to

liclc at my stomach, bo giddy at my brain, bo confused,
and so strongly deluded with the conviction
that I was poisoned, and dying, .that if the
Mthodrol before mo had fallen to the ground,
[ should not probably have thought of on earthrinnlr/i
Before I reached the palaeo, tho ehoota had
seasod, and I began to feel better, and to walk
more firmly. I asked the sentinel at (be door
what was tho cause of all the stir and flurry,
in tli o Flaw, which ho answered by wondering
f I did not know what an earthquake was I?
