Tug DUEL.—The duel which some months since was agreed tube fought oppo site Vicksburg, Mies. on Saturday the 30th December,by the notoriouedualliet,M'Clung and Mr. Memfee. a merchant of Vicksburg, and brother of the member of Congress from 'Kentucky, transpired ou the day appointed. The reason of the long delay before the parties met, was, that they might have time to wind up their earthly affairs as the condi. time under which they were to meet, ren. dared it more than probable that both parties would fall. The history of the difficulty has been told us as follows:—That. M'Clung, from some cause, cowhided or assaulted Menifee, who, (probably anxious to avail himself of the advantages of the challenge, knowing the duelling character of M'Clung with the pistol to be a "dead shot") after wards sought M'Clung in a grocery,and beat ing him most unmercifully filially kicked him . into the street. M'Clung challenged, and Menifee accepted,with rifles at forty yards. Menifee was shot above the eye; his ad VOlVlry's ball. Is is supposed, having struck the cock ofhis title', lock after he had pulled the trigger but before the cock had struck the percussion cap, the rebistance of the ball so deadened its force, that although it fell upon the cap, it failed to explode it. The ball glanced, and its intedented or flat side struck Menifee above the eye. and wound around between the skull and the skin to the hick of his heft!, were it was extracted. When M'Clung saw him fhll, he raised his ties and hissed it, at which Menitee'li second remarked to him, that ho night be premature in °arming his rifle, us Meuifee .vat not killed—to which he replied. "I'm glad of that, for now I shall get another shot." "If not at him, I take his plaee,"— rejoined Mentfee's second. Menifee's !sur geon says he cannot survive although there are slight hopes to the contrary ; it not 'sting ascertained certainly that the skull was fractured; but he is said to be delerious. The affair, it thus seems, is not ended. Either Menifee or his second is again to meet M'Clung. This statement came to us from an eye witness•—Memphis Cour. Governor RITNER retires to a farm in Cumberland county, which he has recently purchased. The best wishes of the friends of law and order, and of Pennsylvania poll- cy, accompany him in his retirement, and conscious that he has performed his duty, nobly, honorably, and with a single eye to the welfare of his native state, he doubtless will experience more real happiness than ho enjoyed while occupied with the cares of office. From Florida. After the attack upon the wagons on the Magnolia road, by a party of Indians, ap• prehension was entertained that the murd• era and depredations of the past winter were to be continued this, but it is said that by the judicious plans of Col. Green in the distribution of the troops under his com mand, the savages have become alarmed and retired beyond the settlements. A hundred horses are to be purchased, by or der of Gen. Taylor, to augment the mount• ed force already in the service, to be upper• tioned between the several posts, which may be promptly concentrated in case of emer. gency. Gen. Taylor with a company of dragoons and two of mounted infantry, were at Fort Frank Brook in the- middle ,of December, intending, with the force not otherwise em ployed at that port, to scour the country as far as the Suwannee.

The following Preamble and Resole• lion requesting the Governor of this Vorn monwealth to open a correspondence with the executing o: the several states through which the contemplated rail road from Pittsburg to St. Louis may pass; passed the House to day after a long di-bate. ' , Waxiness, The prosperity of the state of Pennsylvania in common with several of her sister states may be greatly promoted by the construction of a rail road from the city of Pittsburg, in the state of Pennsylva nia to the city of St. Louis in the state of Missouri. Therefore, Resolved, by the Senate and House of Representatives of the Commonwealth of , Pennsylvania in General Assembly met. That the governor be and he is hereby re quested to open a correspondence with the executives of the several states through which the said contemplated rail road may pass, with a view of procuring such legisla live action on their part as will enable the legislature of this state to co operate with the authorities aforesaid in such manner as may promise the speedy accomplishment of this desirable object. Mr. M'Es.wee,froin the committee ofcon- Terence on the Improvement Bill,reported a resolution that the bill pass with an appro• pristine of $20,000 to the West Branch,and gist the clause directing a suspension from and after the 20th inst. be stricken out. The report was adopted without a division. In the House on the 7th inst. Mr. K urrLE WELL submitted the following which was agreed to: WnEneas, The ultimate interest to this Commonwealth in constructiug the Gettys burg Extension ofthe Pennsylvania Railroad is in some measire identified with the com pletion of the Baltimore and Ohio Roil Road; And whereas, the Legislature and citizens of this Commonwealth generally are desti tute of the necessary informati , a respecting the prospect of completing that road, to ena ble them to judge ofthe utility of prosecut ing the completion of the Gettysburg Rail Road. Therefore, Resolved, That the committee appointed to examine the Gettysburg Rail Road, be inrsructed to inquire, and repast to this House, what amount of available stock or cash funds the Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road company have on hand to prosecute the work on that road, and how far it will ' be put under contract the ensuing season; where and how much of the same is located, and at what point may the Gettysburg Rail Road connect therewith ; what the distance ,from Gettysburg to that point; what bran ches the company contemplate construct. sing, and whether surveys have been made -,to ascertain the practicability of making ,those branches; where will those branches reach the Ohio river; at what• time the company expect to complete the road to Cumberland and the Ohm river, respect- On the Sth inst. the biU for the re•tnnex gtion of that part of Franklin county which Was,cut off by the act of last session, passed the Senate to day by a vote of 24 to 3. Removal of the Seat of Gov- crnsisent. It will be seen by reference to the pro ceedings of the Legislature, that a resolu tion has passed the House by a large vots,in favor of the removal of the Legislature from Harrisburg. At the movement of this matter we thought there was no danger, but by con versing with the members we find that there is a very strong determination to carry the matter through. We feel some interest in retaining the Seat of Government here, but notbicg in comparison with others—end those gener ally who have been the cause of the present movement. We find that the course pursu ed by the Sheriff, Constables and borough authority, and by many of our citizens at the time the mob was here, as their eider* and abettors in the scenes of outrage, has immoveably fixed the minds of a large number in favor of the removal of the Seat . of Government—and it he well, that if the sacrifice of property should come that must follow, it will Ell most heavily upon some of those that were the means of bringing it aisout.—Penn.

It is not intended by this eontmtmiession to wi tez IMO • discussion, which has already 'dratted too far—upon that question "of no little interest" which thil vanquished hero hu placed at the bead of his- debate. Answering it, by argument has honored the Knight of the Broom-stick over-much —and given to him the opportunity desired, °rex hibiting himself In a full blaze - of glory, through series of communications. Such glory as is attach ed to comets--a 1 the tail end. But allow me to answer the question so frequently put—What call ed forth this Windmill attack of Knight of the Broom-stickl You will answer with me—an ereise of freedom of opinion, the privilege of think ing foe one-self----riglitsecured to allby the most stable of constitutions—and without which none could be more destitute than females--shere wohdd be no room for them to exercise a preference for virtue, and sincerity, ovei vice, and hypocrisy; and no shield, to protect them from the nightly perse cutions of such wise-acres as this aspirant for ter restrial glory. Some high-minded female in the exercise of her prerogative, and her duty (in this ease,) has exercised tw veto power to its lawful extent—and to all appearance accompanied it with a humiliating, but respectful application of a Broom-stick together with a lopping an ambro• ■ial lock with her faithful scissors. Against the first part of the process °there is no Law?" custom has allowed it—all ages have sanctioned it—and Quixote is hardly that omnipotent—that can re form this admirable Law, aggrieved though he be. Against the latter part of it, there are laws—but fear of bringing into disrepute that high character to which he aspires has dunbtless prevented a pros• ecution for redress. It matters not what treatment has been received at the bands of a few—what female tongue has withheld its sanction of great deeds—oi how or where it has been—attempted to hide from public view this phrenologically Broom-stick—marked Knight (aa is beyond a doubt) (Literary honors must certainly flow apace now!!) or who may crowd from the scroll of fame, a name, which in his humble opinion should tong since have been regis tered on its pages- this is all of ■mall moment, , compared with that "most unkind cut of all," oc cssioned by pure self-denial!

Preserve us! from such blinded vain glory, such arrant hy pocrisy—the lie is cast into his own teeth—and his first act upon leaving that social circle, from which he should have been ejected and unmasked, was to open his budget, and•by No. t preach a gainst themnatural endowments of females." Noth ing could show more clearly—the frankness, and candor, which characterizes this sex in the expres sion of their opihions oil most subjects-- but more especially—their willingness to admit into their presence and company, those who appear to be honorable and deserving; and upon whom they would exert a beneficial influence—but who. neith er, by nature, or education, were ever fit to enjoy, or participate in,the pleasures of that hallowed,but some times polluted place--the social circle. An introduction into good society is calculated to lead the subject to a Ando of honorable and decorous conduct—but here is a case where there is not only as entire failure of the rule, but an absolute want of that in which these finer feelings are seated.— Refinement and gentility are expected to be exhib ited in the after conduct of all • who are honored with female society—but in this inotance,save that claimed on that memorable occasion, when "fear of giving personal offence by uttering sentiments! of much importance! worthy of being committed" (not "to paper") but the flames—save this time, and the rule is reversed—instead thereof, he sits down and compares his experience with Revelation and, assisted by instinct, he preaches the doctrine that woman is neither so great a being as man, nor so mean a creature as beast—but just half-way— thus much for gentility. But enough.

Correspondence of the St. Louis Corn. Bulletin General Harrison. CINCINNATI, Ohio, Dec. 6. Since my arrival here, I could not resist the desire to pay my respects to the favorite and distinguished veteran of Ohio, and I shall long remember the delightful evening which . ' passed with the gallant Hero of Tippecanoe. He resides about sixteen miles below the city, upon a beautiful spot, on the banks of the Ohio, and lives beloved and honored by all who know him. I haviit ever been a warm admirer of his unsullied history, but now that 1 have seen, and know him, I feel a greater veneration for his character, and an increased confidence in his sterling integrity and uncorrupted pa triotism. He lives like an old patriot of the revolu tion, in plain Democratic Republican style, and I speak sincerely when I declare that 4te is one of the most interesting men with whom I have had the good fortune to con verse. His mind is a perfect store house of the treasured recollections of the past, and his manner and conversation, full of charm and fascination. There is a sincerity and candor about him, which at once win upon the heart, and enchain its afnctions. Hit mind may have lost the fire of youth, but it ie unimpaired, and retains all the vigor of its expanded cemprehension. He is in the enjoyment of most excellent health, and ix more active than 'tire majority of men at fifty. Indeed, from what I saw and heard, 1 believe that his constitution is decidedly improved in the Itukt five yam, and he lookt. as if he would temaim sound and .active both' in mind all • body. for tea years to come If every voter_could see him, there would be no doubt of his election. His plain and dnostentations style would prove his do. moctacy, his conversation and sagacity,and the unvarnished Notary of his whole life would be" the best refutation against the slanders and persecution of his enemies, He now standsouracknowledged candidate. end the Administration will pour upon the head ot the gallant soldier the - phials of wrath, but it will n o t avail, and their slate ders will h i ll harmless at his feet. General Harrison is hourly gaining upon the affec tions of the peurle, and they will uphold him in spite of the intrigues of political wire workers. He comes forth. from ,the great body of the people, emphatically their candidate, 'and they will never de sett him so long as his hard fought victories live among - the records of our national glory. The honest yeomanry of the land are flock. ing to his banner, and it must flatter in the breeze until it floats in every quarter of tlnt Union. Since I have left Missouri, I have cony versed with many upon the subject of the Presidency, end it is now almost universally conceded that Gen. Harrison is me only man who can arrest the arm of Executive usurpation, and blight the mod schemes of that reckless and selfish ambition which had once nearly destroyed the commerce of the country; and rocked the nation to its centre. Every thing that 1 see, confirms me in tie truth of previous opinions.; and our friends may rest perfectly assured, that Gen. Har rison can carry the great state of Ohio, by a more triumphant majority than he ever did before. Since I have been in Cincin nati, I have not met with a half a dozen Whigs who differ from me in opinion, and the tide has set too strongly in one way for us to doubt any longer around whom, and on whom. are entered the affectiohs of the people. Harrison and Democracy will be our watchwords, and the safety and salve. ion of the country will be the result.

A letter from S. fligdon, one of the !Her mon chiefs confined in jail atiLiberty, Mts.- souri, gives the following affecting picture of the persecutions of this' deluded class of townies.-- The suffering, the ca lamitioe,. the woe and wretchedness of the Mormons is, at this.' tune unknown to the public generally' not only since the Governor's order, but before. For a length of time.before the Governor's order, the Mormons had been scourged by a company of •mobbers,•who were constantly wasting theirproperiy—gathering together and threatening them and their property with destruction and extermination. The mob which collected in Daviess, immediate ly- subsequent to the election, commenced a general destruction of Mormon property, and destroyed, before the authorities could disperse it—or, rather, before they did dis perse it, one hundred head of cattle; and of this number, was the last cow that some Ivor families possessed. And.. while Gen eral Atchinson, Donaphan, and Parke were there, the mob boasted that they lived on Mormon beef and Mormon corn. 'The mob Amounted to four or five hundred ; and you may judge of the destruction that must have been made of the property of, a poor people who had but a short time before come into the country. It was the cause of much sabring and distress among the Mormons. When the mobbers were dispersed at Davies; they went directly to Carroll coun ty and commenced iut attack on the Mor mons there, where they obtaioid it cannon for the purports. A body of seventy families was closely invested ; consisting of men, women and children: living in wagons and tents, not having had time to build houses.
