College, if the student by whose hands O'Neil re

Display of Chivalry.
Mr. Cutting, it will remembered, last week made
a speech in favor of discussing the Nebraska bill in
Committee of the Whole, declaring himself strong
ly in favor of it, but desirous of amending it, in
some particulars. Mr. Breckinridge took occasion
to denounce Mr. Cutting's course in term of great
severity, representing him as dealing very treach
erously towards the bill, and stabbing it to death
under pretences of friendship. Mr. Cutting, on
Monday, made a reply to these charges, in which
-Me resented them with a good deal of warmth, be
ing frequently interrupted by Mr. Breckenridge,who
kept his temper tolerat ly well. until Mr. Cutting
alleged that he had " skulked" behind the Senate
bill, in order to escape the responsibility of
the counse‘he had taken. This was too much for
Mr. Breckenridge's equanimity, and afar earnestly,
but surcessfully,appealing to Mr. Cutting to "with
draw" his remarks, he pronounced them " false,"
which of course created a " sensation," prompted
Mr. Cutting to say that he should reply elsewhere,
and Created a very general expectation of a duel.
Washington was thrown into great excitement
Wednesday morning last, by a report that a duel
hail been fought between Messrs. Cutting and
Breckenridge. The excitement was much increas
ed by all sorts of exaggerated romors f the most
prominent of which was, that Mr. Breckenridge
nes shot in the neck. From the most reliable sour
ces we gather information,indicating that a meeting
-took place early Wednesday morning, at Bladens
burg. That shots were exchanged is not' de
mad, but an intimate friend of Breckenridge em.
phatically denies that he (Mr. B.) was wounded,
or that any damage was done to either party. All
circumstance's corroborate the rumor that fighting
has taken place. Mr. Cutting left the city Tues
day afternoon in the 3ji o'clock train, and Mr. Breck
enridge followed in the b o'clock train. This
led to the impression that the duel was to take
place near Bladensburg, at which place Cutting
left the train, but Breckenridge being lathe Ex
press train was carried to the Junction, and was
obliged to return, which he did in time to secure a
meeting at the place designated.
The affair has beenkso delicately arranged that
nothing can be known beyond die personal friends
of the parties; but there can be no doubt that neith
er are hurt, and that the difficulty will be ammica
bly arranged. The challenge was written by Cut
ting on Monday, a short time after the adjournmen t
of the House, and made known to Breckenridge
about I I o'clock at night.
Tuesday the friends of the parties were busy in
making arrangements for the
_meeting of Wednes-
day ; but the public were under the impression that
eflons were making to settle the matter, and no ap
prehensions were felt that an eneounter would take
place so soon.
The Marshal of the District and attorney Gener
al are on the alert, and the parties wilt be prevent
ed from meeting again, even it their friends fail to
satisfactorily arrange the matter,
DEATH or MAJon Honnit.—Major Robbie, As
sistant Postmaster-General, died in Washington, on
Thursday morning, March 23. Major Hobble, after
serving as member of Congress, became connected
with the Post office Department under Jackson's
administraticin. Hia highly resporisible position in
the department was kept till after administration of
Taylor, wberihe resigned. Upon his recent visit to
Panama, in the interest of the Pacific Mail Steam
ship Company, in order to regulate and improve
our postal system in that quarter, he contracted a
a disorder by which his constitution appears to have
been fatally shattered.
Mr. Hobbie was a man beloved and exemplary
in all the relations of life, and his service in the
Post Office Department have made his death a na
tional loss.
Q: The Martha Washington case seems likely
to end in Arkansas es it did in Ohio. The prelim
inary hearing before the Court at Galena have re.
suited in the prisoners being remanded for trial ;
but the Judge, in the course of his decision, inci
dentally remarked that, in the main trial, it would
have to be proved by the proeeeution that the par
ties charged was . actually, and not by implication,
within the jurisdiction of the courts of Phillips coun
ty, Arkansas, at the time the alleged crime was
committed. This will cause the release of all the
arrested except Cummings and Holland, who were
on board the boat at the time of her burning. Al.
ter this decision was rendered, applicatiori was
made for an immediate trial, but it resulted in a
postponement for envy day.
THE PROHIBITORY I..aw.—The bill for the sop.
pression of Intemperance has finally passed both
Houses of the Legislature of New-York, to take ef
fect on the first day of December next. It is thought
by some that the Governor will veto it.
(Kr Fenn, of the Lancaster Independent Mug,
still insists that the Whig party is disbanded and
bankrupt, and that Judge Pouocz should decline
the nomination for Governor, and some other good
man, Judge Waxer, for instance, should be taken
up and ran as an independent candidate.

Tea GADSDEN Tatarr.—The Union urges the rat•
ification of this treaty, end slates that. Santa Anna
evinces an) thing but a hostile spirit towards the
United States. It also says :—tt With Mexico—if
the treaty now before the Senate shall be ratified—
our intercourse, with the projected railroad from the
Gulf across her territory to the Pacific, and other
intercommunications, must soon be on an extended
scale alike profitable to both countries. It is be
lieved—indeed we learn that assurances have been
given to that end—that at an early day the Mexican
tariff will be so modified as to admit most of the
articles of our product at rates that will greatly in
crease their consumption.
‘r in view of oar threatened relations with Spain,
and the possibility that we may be involved with
England and France, it is of paramount importance
that all the pending questions should be• speedily
arranged with Mexico, and - we are much mis
taken if the people of the Union do not warmly ap
plaud the efforts which the Executive has made to
hasten this event. It is the pail of wisdom of en
lightened statesmanship, to afford no excuse on
our part to Santa Anna to permit any European
power to obtain a foothold within the bounds of
Mexico."
Tae INSTRUCTIONS TO Ma. SOULE —The N. Y.
Sun says it learns from private sources that Secreta
ry Marcy has instructed Mr. Soule, our Minister
at Madrid,. to make the demand s for indemnity and
apology in the most peremptory manner; and should
the Spanish government hesitate, or put off its re
ply, ender pretence of waiting for information from
Havana, Mr Sonic is to lose no time in communi•
eating the (act to Washington, when our govern.
ment will proceed instanter to blockade every Cu
ban port."
THE MOUIITIANI STILL ON FIRC.—The fire which
has been raging in the Blue Mountains, in Penn
sylvania, is still spreading, and has extended along
the base, on either side of the Susquehanna river.
The Harrisburg herald says :
The flames have now reached the " Little Mottn•
tain,"._ westward of the Blue Mountain, and are still
spreading, carrying the work of destruction in their
course. On the opposite, or Daughin side of the
river ) the Little Mountains is still on fire, and the
flamerare spreading eastward in an alarming man
ner, destroying young timber, cordwood, rails, &c.,
and, in many instances, endangering the lives and
property of the mountaineers. Some of the peo
ple residing in the course of the devouring element,
having been busy, night and day, clearing away
combustible matter from the vicinity of their bum
ble dwellings and lowly mountain cots. The fire,

it is supposed, w fi rst started by mischievicais in

they kindled the tractive element.
Bassnirruvre ON LANE MICHIGAN —A letter in the
New York Tribune, dated Chicago, 6th inst., states
that the quantity,of wheat in store now at that port
is about 254,000 bushels, 20 ; 000 barrels of flour,
and adds :
"There are now upon the lake shore, all told,
about 800,00!+ bushels of wheat in store and about
80,000 barrels of flour. The high prices paid.the
put winter for wheat have brought nearly or quite
all out of the producer's hands. Very little more
will come out before next harvest, so that, reducing
the wheat to flour, Lake Michigan will have about
250,000 banels of flour, sir calling it wheat, about
1,200,000 bushels of wheat to ship before next
harvest, or say let of September."
It is also stated that six or seven millions of
bushels of corn will probably be shipped horn Chi
cago this year, if present prices continue. There
are also over 300 000 bushels of oats in store there
and about 600,000 bushels. on the lake coast. In
In Ohio and Indiana, it is said there is not ever one
fourth the usual quantity of wheat and floor on hand
but the,detirrency Will be more than supplied by
the excess of corn.
Simms' Cusrom.—Since the announcement of
the death of the Emperor of Japan, it is suggested
that the American Squadron there, is in an awk

official intercourse shall be held with any foreign
country, for the space of two years after the death
of an Emperor. No foreign ambassador is allow

A Mortice's Reveset.—A serious affair occur
red at New Orleans on the 15th inst. h daughter
of a woman named Bridget Murphy having been
seduced, the mother purchased a knife, and com
pelled the daughter to accompany her to a billiard
saloon where the alleged seducer, iphn Hitzelber
ger,was employed. On his:being pointed out toiler,
she demanded reparation for her daughter's wrongs.
This was refused, when she drew the knife from
beneath her shawl, and plunged it twice into the
young man's, side, who.fled into the saloon, fol
lowed by the avenger, who stabbed him twice in
the back:before he succeeded in effecting his escape
into 8t Charles street, where he fell to the earth
trom exhaustion e.td loss of blood, and was picked
op and conneyed to the Charity Hospital. The
mother was immediately arrested, and after being
committed, expressed her firm determination to kill
the seducer, should he survive his wounds, of
which' there is much doubt.
—A nevi invention, called the patent elastic
horse shoe, is now talked of. It is made of Ger
man sprumeteel, padded with gum elastic, and it
is said will outwear several- common shoes. MI
concussions and consequent heat are avoided, and
hence those causes by which so many horses are
lamed and ruined, ate by this invention entirely
obviated. A gentleman who has had them upon
a valuable animal for lour months, writes to tile in
ventor that' before applying them, his horse had
always shrunk, whe..ever he struck upon the pave.
ment or hard road, but now he strikes boldly and
freely, and moves with far greater ease and free
