THE JACKSON-DICKINSON DUEIV TliO'fainous tlubl Jj^tween Jackson apd TJiclciTison^getierfllly known, ^ut Par Ion's reccnt life'of llio.formor gives an- excellent ncoouBtjof tbe affair, with somo'circumstanccs that are new: ' ,fr.. * "> Dickinson's second won llie choice of position, nnd Jackson's tbe office of giving the word. Mr. Overton cortsidered thegiv iurr ?>P flirt nnri) n miiifnr mnnl imnnr. ...b o *v ""i " tance, nod lie had already determined how lie would give it if the lot fell to him.' The <ijjht paces were measured ??ff, and tho men placed ; both wore perfectly collected. All the politeness of such occasions was sti icily 1 and elegantly performed. Jackson was j dressed in a loose frock buttoned carelessly j over his chest, and concealing in some de- i gree the extreme slendemess of his figure, j Dickinson was the youngest and handsomer man of the two. I Int Jackson's tall, erect figure and the still intensity of his demeanor, it is said gave him a most commanding air as he stood under the tall poplars in this bright May morning, silently awaiting this mrmeiit of doom. 'Arc you ready V said Overton. 'I an< ready,'said Dickinson. 'I am ready,' said Jackson. The words wore no sooner pronounced lliau Overtoil, with a sudden shout, ciied, using his old country pronunciation, j "Fcaro ?' Dickinson raised his pistol quickly and fired. Overton, who was looking with ; ^ 1 O I anxiety and dread at Jackson, saw a pull"of i dust fly from the breast of his coat and saw ' liira raise his arm and place it tightly across ! his chest. 'lie is surely hit.' thought Over-1 ton, 'and iu a bad place too, but lie docs not fall.' Erect and grim as fate he stood, his teeth clenched, raising his pUlul. Overton glanced at Dickinson. Amazed at the unwonted failure of his nim, and appalled at tbo awful figure and face before him, Dickinsou had unconsciously recoiled a step or two. 'Great God!' lie faltered, 'have I missed birn V ; VDfioK to tuo mark*, sir!' thundered Overton with his hnnd upon hib pistol. Diekinson recovered his coroposuie stepped forward to the peg, and stood with eyes averted from liis antagonist. All this was but the work of a moment though it requires many words to tell it. General Jackson took deliberate aim and pulled the trigger. The pistol neither snapped,'nor went off. llejooked at the trigger and discovered that it had stopped at half-conk. lie drew it back to its place and took aim a second limp. lie (lied, and Dickinson's face blanched ; he reeled?and his friends rushed forward, caught him in their arms, and gently laid him on the grass leaning againn a Ijusu. J lis bowsers red- J deued. They stripped off bis clothes. The blood was gushing from his side in a torrent. And alas ! liere is the ball, not near the wound, hut above thooppositc hip, just under the skin. Tlie ball had passed tbrough.the body, below the ribs. Such a wound couldnot but be fatal. Overton \vent forward and learned the condition of the wounded'pan. Rvjoining bis pricipal, he said : 'lie won't wan't any xuore of you, General,'and conducted him from the ground. They had gouc a hun-M dred yards, Overton walking on one sido cif,; Jackson and bis surgeon' on the other', 'and; neither speaking a word, when the surgeon observed ihu one of Jackson's shoes was full of blood. ^ > ... " 'Ob, I believe,' replied ^Jackson, 'that be has picked me a little. Let us look nt it. But say nothing about it there,* pointing to tbe bouse. *? *" " ' lie opened his'coat.

DO AMERICAN WOMEN CONVERSE WELL. Napoleon the First is said to have made the remark that France needed mothers. A friend of ours after traveling in Europe gave us as tlio result of his observations, that no man who had not travelled had seen a teaman. We asked one of the most intelligent ladies of our acquaintance, who has visited Europe more than onre, and who, indeed, resided there for some time, whether the remarks of our friend were true and she replied in the affirmative. The ....... .... ?i 1.1 ii..i ?i.- * - iiuiuG ^/ciouus inuu^iib iiictt uid ^viuuncan women arc prettier and naturally more attractive than those abroad. Tbe difficulty is two fold. The first belongs to young ladies, and tbe second to matrons. 13oth are symptoms of the same ( disease. TI?o young arc frivolous, and the ' ' mature are common place. With all the j reader's enthusiasm and chivalry for wo men, let us ask Ii im how many ladies can COnverso intelligently ami interestingly in comparison with the men of his acquaintance. Tf he will makte an honest investigation lie will bo surprised. The bearing of these remarks is especially upon tlio tendency in our young men to rowdyism and blackguardism. A powerful safeguard is in female society, and a great difficulty is that it is intellectually so I very deficient. A young man of any force of character, and there are many such, tires of gossip, the weather, the last fashion and tlie last concert. IIow many young wo men go beyond these topics? lie tires, too, of mere household details and tlio out side of religious matters, of which llie more mature talk, ami seeks Eomethiug more exciting. If we would save the manners and morals of our country, our women must have a higher tone. They >iiro pretty, graceful and industrious, bu^tbey do not couverso. TllPV nrtt iimlr-rRlnn/l lilaratnrA on/l o?I ?J, ?- - ...V, , they arc not able to go will) men into the ' reason of things; their minds do not act, as thev should, as the scft reflection in the water of earth and sky.
