Radicalism gives 1101110 of its votaries
very affectionate names. For instance,
Mr. OLIVER S. II the minium
lar friend of Mr. and Mrs. LINCOLN,
and the reviler of Gen. McCt.imt.A,N—a
man who was hand and glove with al l
the Radical leaders of the country—
was dubbed 'Pet,' and under this name
achieved a kind of curious notoriety
all over the country. Well 'Pet' Al. -

a noble wile and married Bonn and
daughters, entered a house of ill-fame
in:Newark, New Jersey, the other dui.,
and infringed upon the so-called rights
of a fellow who was keeping a woman
there for his own peculiar gratillcation.
To make a long story short, the fellow
caught 'Pet' in the morning before lie
had withdrawn from the embraces of
his dulcinea, and not being admitted
a t i speedily as lie thought he ought to
have been. burst open the door and
put a pistol ball 'brought ‘Pet.'s'..heiul,
which finished the earthly 'course of
that individual, and sent him 'to the

Published History.
The l'ersonal Difficulty Bytom+ ff
ham L. Yancey and Ben. Hill in t*4
Confeaerate Senate Chamber.
Among the many events of personal
interest that transpired in the South
during the late war, but few are of a
more dramatic character or aroused a
deeper interest among our people than
the unfortunate personal difficulty
which took place in the confederate aen
nte, at Richmond, during its secret am
nions, between Mr. William L. Yancey
of Alabama and Mr. Ben. 11. Hill of
(leorgia. Several different conflicting
versions of Ode afair have been given,
through the southern press, but none
has yet been published that accords
with a statement we ,recently derived
from a gentleman who was at the time
a senator, and an eye- witueee to all
hat transpired on the occasion.
llThe difficulty had its origin in the
totted political contest so common in
this country prior to the breaking out
of the war. It was when Yancey,.
with hie dazeling eloquence, was ffiring
the southern beart,' tltat a barbecuey
atien•leil by thousanda,was given in ono'
of the southern counties of tieorgisi.,
It was here that Hill and Yancey met

federate berate, both doubtless smart
lug under the recollection 01 past eon-
Illy's. and entertaining no kindly kei
nig lor each other. It was when the
south was drooping, and every patriot
heart was heavy with despondency and;
gloom, that Mr. Yancey rising in hia.
plane in the senate, declared that the
war could no longer be carried on with
any hope of nuccese unless many of the
constitutional reetrtirrito and einbamtneb
wen te were thrown aside,and boldly ad
vocated a radical change in the de
mands of the hour.
Upon the conclusion of Mr. Yancertif
remarks, Mr. Hill firomptly arose to
reply. The scene wan one of the most
intense excitement. He deprecated the
opinion 'advocated by Mr. Yancey, and
proceeded with severity to review hie
past political career, running hack to
the beginning of the times vrhidi oar
sectional troubles were first agitated.
Ile weld Mr. Yancey, not satisfied wits
having warred upon and disrupted the
oil Union, was now crying out against
and endeavoring to subvert and break
down the Confederate government:
When Mr. Hill concluded, the exeite
meur,already at white heat wan increas
ing beyond anything before witnessed
during those troubleeome time*. Mr.,
Yancey arose and in a calm, dignified
and sell.poiaed manner peculiarly his
own commenced, hie reply. He de.
scribed Mr Hill an repeating islan
ders that hail been tittered against him
for the past twenty years ; and - that all
which Mr. trill had uttered, had been
said innumerable timm before by every
third rate politician in the country
and continued by saying, 'nature had
designed the Senator front Georgia as
an imitator; and that he had been cast
in a certain die and it was vein to at
tempt to enlarge his dimension's.
Pallid with rtge,Mr. Hill mounted to
him legit, and seizing a heavy s laas ink
stand hurled it with all his might and
power at the head of Mr. Yancey,
which, grazing hie forehead,plowed its
way to the skull and passed on its furi
ous course, crushibg a heavy windows
lacing beyond. Without turtling his
head Mr.Yanrey, who wan at the time
addressing the speaker, continuing his
speech, deliberately remarked, 'it lest

strike front the rear.' Enraged still
more at this remark Mr. Frill, gather

are thus reported by the Lager, an ia

'During the counting of the ballets
the envies enacted were of the moat
disgraceful character, and the Presi
dent in vain appealed for onler. There
were five different fights on the floor of
the Convention, black jacks were free
ly used, and the officers Intimidated
and insulted. As the names of the del

room would personate them, and so
general did this become that the beef
nese was several times necessarily dui.,

'Mr. Hancock was declared by thp
President to be the regular nominee tif

then jumped on the platform, and

made off with them. Several of the
delegates were quite badly injured

—Tne New Orleane Picayune of
Sunday last published a two column
letter from Mr. Blanton Duncan,urging
the South to unite in demanding the
nomination of General Hancock for
