Reminiscences of a Memorable Duel.
The celebrated affair of the Leopard
and the Chesapeake, the latter commanded
Ny Commodore James Barron, insulted in
Barron's trial and sentence by the court
martial, in the proceeding relative to
which, it is said, Commodore Decatur
took an active part, and a duel was finally
the result, at Bladensburg. A corre
spondent of the Chicago Tribune describes
the affair as follows
When Elliot arrived at Bladensburg,
little knotiof boys and men, knowing or
guessing the matter impending, gave him
interesting . regard. A group of naval of
ficers, particularly standing at the tavern,
walked out across the bridge toward the
place of meeting, and concealed them
selves within hearing of the pistol shots.
Almost every one of them was a friend of
Decatur, and amon , t , them were Commo
dores Rodgers and Porter, and his two
colleagues in the Board of Navy Commis
sioners. Barron followed soon afterwards,
walking between his seconds, Elliott, and
his friend Latimer. His face expressed
dignity and resolution. He walked firm
ly, and the three also descended into the
Valley of Chance_
Decatur and Barron bowed to each
other formally. Ham')leton stood by
Decatur, Latimer by Barron. Bainbridge
and Elliott conferred together, and the
former, who had behaved fairly and equit
ably throughout, was appointed to meas
ure the ground. lie marked a line in the
sod with his boot, and placing his toe to
it, stepped, out eight times, a yard to a
step, marking also the last step as a base.
Four times a man's length, or across your
dinin--room, that was the distance.
Each second now produced the pistols
from a pair of cases, long barreled dueling
weapons, of fine finish and bright steel,
silver-mounted. They were charged and
rammed in the old style, and presented
to each principal by the second. During
all this time no words was said except by
the seconds.
In like manner Elliott and Bainbridge I
tossed for corners. Bainbridge won ; it
was Decatur's usual good lick !
"Commodore Decatur!" said Bain
bridge, "which stand de you select ?"
The axis of the two bases ran nearly
north and south, obliquely from the brook. I
Decatur walked to the north, nearest the
water, where he stood a few inches lower
than Barron. Both threw off their coats
confronting each other.
"Gentlemen," said Bainbridge, raising
his voice, "I shall give the word quickly
and as follows: Present—one—two—three.
Yon are neither, at your peril, to fire be
fore the word one, nor after the word
three."
Commodore Barron turned his head,
his pistol hanging at his side, and said to
Commodore Bainbridge:
"Have you any objection, sir, to pro
nouncing the words in the manner you
intend to give them"
"None," said Bainbridge, and he re
peated the form Ula ireciily as he after
wards gave it. For the first time the an
tagoists looked into each other's eyes.
Sternness and the purpose to kill lay iu
both. hope,-air,"- said Barron, ".that
when we meet in another world, we shall
be better friends than we have in this."
"1 have never been your enemy, sir,"
exclaimed Decatur.
Here Bainbridge walked behind Deca
tur, and took place twelve or fifteen feet
to his left, Hambleton at far on his right.
The same positions were reserved by Elli
ott and Latimer.
"Gentlemen," said Bainbridge, "mako
The antagonists swung around side
wise, and looked at each other across their
right shoulders.
"Present"—
The two arms went up and each took
sight.
"One—two--"
One report rang out. The last word
was deadened by it. On the word two,
both pistols btuf been simultaneously dis
charged. There were twc putts of smoke.
and in an instant Barron was. down
groaning.
Decatur straightened up a moment.
pinched his lips, dropped his pistol, and
the color went out of his face. Ile drew
his right hand to his side. Then be fell
to the ground speechless.
The seconds of both were beside them
instantly. Decatur was raised by his
friends and moved to higher ground, near
by Barron.
He opened his eyes directly, and said :
"I am mortally wounded, ut least I be
lieve so; and I wish I had fallen in the
service of my country."
Barron looked up to them all and said :
"Everything has been conducted id the
most honorable manner. I am mortally
wounded. Commodore Decatur, I forgive
you from the bottom of my heart."
Immediately down the pathway to the
Valley of Chance came many gentlemen,
all friends of Decatur—Rogers, and Por
ter, and Bolton, two doctors. Bailey Wash
ington and Trevitt, General Harper and
others, friends or idlers.
There were anxious looks and utteran
ces of "Tut! tut"' or "Dear! der!"
The doctors Proceeded to loosen the
clothes of the sufferers and ascertain the
nature of their wounds. The little 'green
valley at the breakfast hour had become
a surgeon's hospitaL In it we re repre ..•
seated nearly all the naval victories in the
Republic—Tppoli and Aigiers, Like Erie
and both oceans; they held solemn eon
, gress in this unholy amphitheatre.
Barron was struck in the hip and about
the groin. Decatur had caught the hall
ru bui hip, and it had glanced upward in
to libi , ,abilonien, severing the large blood
rends Elima.The two doctors exchanged
glances; there-was no hope for Decatur;
l,„ : pulsation bad almo s t ceased,
Now began on the ground, as they lay
upon cloaks spread for them, that dying
inter View of mingled tenderness and re
crimination, which Wirt has compared to
the last intercourse of Hamlet and Laer
tes. Each striving to clear up his fame
and prove that this crime was a mistake
or the work of officioas enemies. Barron,
certain that his hours were numbered,
wished to be at peace with his enemy,
that they might enter the court of judg
ment, friends. Decatur was less relent
ing but he consented to forgive Barron,
though not his advisers.
It was a sadder scene than Nelson, De
catur's admirer, dying in a cockpit during
the battle, or Baying, to whom he had
been compared, bleeding on the battle
field.
The varriage came, and they bore De
catur to it.. llainbridge kissing his cheek.
lie had wrested Bainbridge from the don
goons of the Moors. Bainbridge in re
turn, had measured the ground for him
to stain it with his blood.
Rodgers took Decatur's head upon his
shoulders, the doctor, Trevitt, seated with
them, and the carriage took its painful
way back to the city. Bainbridge and
Hambleton hastened to the Navy-yard,
where the tng lay to carry them c..k to
the Columbus, that ship of discord. At
half-past ten o'clock Decatur re-entered
his elegant mansion, his wife and house
hold disturbed at the breakfast table with
the appalling news, and they were driven
to the upper part of the house. Around
the city the evil news spread. Friends
crowded around the door and into the
duelist's dying chamber. He signed his
will, refused to have the ball extracted
from his wound, and spoke affectionately
to his wife, whom he yet refused to see.
Excruciating pains came to him. Af
ter one of the spasms, he said:
"I do no believe it possible for a person
to endure so inueli pain as I feel."
The town was aroused, and his door
ways and pavements crowded. They
stopped in the drawing room at President
lt:iiroe's. Uncomplaining in the midst
of anguish to the last, the unconquerable
soul of the "Bayard of the Seas" yielded
itself uNwithout a groan at half-past ten
o'clock in the night.
The next day the little old National /a
telligcneer came out with a leaded editori
al head, saying that it would be "affecta
tion" to be silent upon the fact that the
duel had occurred, and that the combat
ants were mortally wounded. In a "Post
script" it related that Decatur was dead,
and added iu the crude apostrophe of the
period, "Mourn Columbia! for one of the
brightest stars set!" Three days after- j
wards the mail was robbed three miles
from Baltimore, the driver tied to a tree
and shot dead, and the mail bags picked
over in the bushes near by. All this time
while Decatur's body was going from his
residence, cl6se by the' White House; to
Kalorama, an estate on a hill overlooking i
Georgetown, and while Barron lay in the
city. writhing with pain and listening to
the funeral drums. In Congress, John
Randolph offered consolatory resolutions,
but they were objected to. The tone of
the press, commenting ou the duel, was
respectful both to the living and the dead
antagonist, but sternly denunciary, of
"the code," as our newspapers now-a-days
could be. Barron suffered dreadfully for
many months, but recovered at last and
lived to 1851, surviving, I think, Deca
tur's childless widow, who was represent
ed in 1546 to be alive in the Georgetwu
Catholic college, "in ill health and pov
erty, finding . in the consolation of religion •
I alone alleviation of her sorrows," but
hopeful of securing something from Con
; gress. Barron went to sea again, and had
charge of several vessels, but the shadow
lof the duel lay across his life. People
l forgot the apology for it in the cat:nitro
! plie of it. A new generatien of boys
j rose lip who read of Decatur's valor and
learned to regard Barron as his assassin.
i The poor living victim could not explain
i against a dead man. He asked fur a
court martial on Decatur's charge against
him, and was exhonoruted with meagre
compliments.
Decatur lies buried behind St Peter's
Church, Philadelphia, in a venerable and
spacious graveyard, under an eagle-dapped
monument. His portrait is in George
town-College. HIE name is conferred on
_many towns and counties in this country.
What he lived for he has obtained—glory
Ain the eves of his countrymen. Barron
obtained "satisfaction"—little more. Yet
I think the tram-was throughout the ag
grieved spirit.
Sam Pideb.
The Elmira Gazette has reprinted some
extracts from a raper issued in that vil
lage 40 years ago, describing the exploits
of Sam Patch in jumping at Genesee
Falls. A successful leap - made Oct. 12,
Is2B, was thus described :
"Sam has made his great jump. The
day was lowry and rainy. However, the
number of three hundred persons assem
bled on the island to witness the feat, the
Canadian shore was crowded. To view
the platform erected for the fearless Patch
from the Biddle stairway, did not appear
so grand, as the platform reached only
about two-thirds the height of the bank;
'but to descend to th. margin of the wa
ter, in the gulf beneath, and there look
up at the perpendicular ladder, made you
imagine that it would require superhu
man powers to accomplish such an enter
prise. Sans ascended the ladder and re
mained on the top about ten minutes
resting and adjusting himself for the
leap, daring which time he was repeat
edly cheered by spectator& At length he
rose--every eye was bent intently on him,
he waved his hand and kissed the star
spangled - banner that floated gracefully
over his head, and then percipitated him
self like an arrow into the flood below.
'Twas a matchless and tremendous leap.
He very soon reappear-IA and swam to the
shore with great ease. Then it was that
a painful and unpleasant yet indescrib
able sensation was driven from each
bremst by the flood of jay which succeed
ed on seeing that he was safe. Then it
was that the benumbing spell which had
reigned from the moment he arose on the
platform, was broken by the buret of the
voices of congratulation."
The jumping hero made his last and
fatal leap Nov. 13, 1829, thus chronicled:
"Sam Patch is no more! He made his
-last leap from a scaffold erected on the
bank of the other falls this afternoon.
The staging was elevated 2 5 feet. He
sprung fearlessly from it, and descended
about one-third of the distance as hand
some as he ever did. He then evidently
began to droop his arms extended, and
his lege separated; and' in this condition
he shuck the water, and sunk foretterl
It was a fearful leap, and fearfully it was
terminated. The prevailing .opinion is
that he became lifeless ere he reached the
water. He had drank fearfully in .the
morning, but was not apparently more.
overcome than he was on Friday last. It
was truly a solemn scene, where so many
thousands were witnesses to an immola
tion which had its origin only in an effort
to satisfy the craving appetite of human
curiosity. Sam's last request, I under
stand was that the funds collected should
be sent to his mother, if his adventure
should terminate fatally. Ms body has
not yet been found. The height of Gen
esee Falls, from which he jumped, is 100
feet. The staging was 25 feet above the
Falls. The distance which he descended
was therefore 125 feet."
Sam Patch WAS a native of Pawtucket,
R. 1., where some of his relatives still re
side.

If you suffer with Headache, try Marshall'a Elixir.
and be convinced that although other remedies have
failed to core you, this will give you Instant and perm
anent relief. If by over excitement and fatigue your
nerves have become so weakened that headache ad
monishes you that something more dangesoris may

giving tone and strength to the system. restores you to
perfect health. Whenever food which should be diges
ted remains In the stomach. canting pain and mreasl
ness for the want of that principle which would render
it easy of dime. stion, then by using Marshall's Elixir you

and ro be radically mired of Dyspepsia. The stomach
being thus cleansed from an unhealthy to a healthy con
dition. costivenee and the other aueudant disorders el
the bowels are of necessity prevented.
