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. Dickinson's aim
had been pnrfect. lie bad sent tbe ball
precisely where ho supposed Jackson's bea<-t
^^siHSaling. But tbe thinness of bis body
ancf ttfo?J?oscnG?s.of bis coat coinpincd to

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.

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. Home ought to
fte more attractive ; but in order that it may
be sofVomen must cultivate intelligence. 1

them emphatically men. They aro gradually
growing away from their wives, 1
daughters and cousins, and the effect is
ipost deleterious. It is seen especially in
young men of all classes. , 1
* So fiilr*waa this carried in Greece, that
>rr 4 ~ ?
tbo'T^,-^often?not of thabest character
?-who cultivated their nnnds to an extraordinary
degree, while the mass wero content
with trifles, havo sent thoir names down
through history as the champiStf" of the ,
great men who illustrated that golden age.
Liko the Greek women, otfriT arc by no '
means wantyig in talent. They are characteristically
very quick. - But there is
some wrong kind of public sentiment
.among them which greatly needs c'orrec- '
ti<?n.' ' ' i
fTL- ? -
J.DB reacuon is 8oen?lor mere must ,
necessarily be a reaction from bo unnatural
a condition?in fethale preaching and lecturing,
in tlie overstepping of the modesty
and natural sphere of woman. It is a
thousand pities. But it is inevitable. The
stream must havo its way. If we have no
intelligent drawing-rooms, ,we will have
women on rostrums, mat ** A?n?li.o

tlio reaction from the monotony of female
Greek life.
These remarks may not b$ palatable, but
it ia impossible to apply.^be remedy until
we see tbe disease. What we wish is to
^change insipid girls and rowdy young men
^nto rational, intellectual buman beings.

A SAMPLE of the above which was luken at
your Mills, was found, upon analysis, to
he capable of producing of
Ammonia, - 8.31 per cent.
And to contain of
Bone Phosphate of Lime 45.82 " "
The above proportion of Ammonia and Bone
Phosphate of Lime is known to he most proper
for concentrated manures. Both theoretical
reasoning and the results of numerous practical
experiments have approved of it. An application
of 200 11 is. cf thin article article per acre,
will supply more of Bone Phosphate of Lime
than is required by any crop?thus leaving a
considerable surplus of this valuable nutriment
incorporated with the soil after cropping, and
will furnish a sullleient quantity of ammonia to
to act as a nutriment and stimulant.
