' DIEE,ALING.
The , instittilion" of the dull° is a very
,ancient one. - As public quarrels were decided
by public wars, so private disputes have becin
adjusted; time out of mind, by individual con
tests. Of course; this was scarcely a fair way
of, deciding them,' for superior strength of
superior skill in the use of weapons—the lance,
or the sword, or both:-sometimes gave' one
adversary fearful odds. over another. .When
portable firearms came into general uso,
piss
tols placed atuong the weapons employed
in these private wars. Until tho close of the
laid century, when civilians discontinued wear
ing swords, such Combats wore decided by
cold steel or cold lead—the rapier or the pis
tel. The latter weapon gradually superseded
the former; particularly when one combatant
was knowvn,to be a good swordsman, and the

Without. having "blued" at one tidversart, at

,the
sport, weed drag an unfair combatant through
the next horso-pond, and would cheer the vic
tors In the:fight.
Being what idcalled "a good shot" availed
,little b) duels. Men who could snuff candles
or shoot the red spot out bf the ace of hearts,
very often'Were killed by ravy youngsters who
actually did .not -know, in loading -a pistol,
whether the powder or the ball first 'should go
intelhe barrel. II )1815, Mr; D'EsrEaniote
connted the best shot in - Ireland, 'challenged
Mr. O'CONNELT for rising the word "beg-
garly",.to describo the Dublin Corporation.
O'Coassas, who could not shoot -at all, had
to accept the challenge, though his friends
anticipated that ho would be killed. The Cor
poration—a corrupt and ruffianly set of Orange
men, who prostrated the holy name 'of
Religion before the altar of Party—chuckled
over the anticipated success of their champion,
whose victory would rid them, it was hOped,
- of a troublesome and popular opponent. The
most lucrative ,office in their gift,. and they
had many rich ones, was promis, to D'Es..
?ERRE if lie came back a conqueror over
O'CONNELL. Crowds of Orangemen, went to
the
the ground, on ono of the coldest and most
frozen days in February, to tee O'CoNtign
-.shot down, as a sportsman would shoot his
game—but WEsricaus,tho candle-snuffer, Was
himself brofight down,by O'CoNstatx,-(sehance
shot, and died in forty hours, deeply repent
ing, on his death-bed,l)hat he had been tempt
eth, influences and the promises of
largo-.c,ompensation, to go out agOnst O'Cox
xg,n, with the 'expectation and intention of
assassinating him.
There is a' lesson and there is a deep moral,
much. nearer home than Ireland, in such an
incident as Oki: Have we not soon, with as
mach -shame as indignation, how many of our
own' public men, at Washington—and even
duriui the recent Legislative session there—
have presumed upon their real, or reputed pro
clivities, as "fire-caters," offensively to try
and foice their own peculiar opinions upon
individuals,-as bravo as themselves, at least,
'though pot so accustomed to boast. The coun
-65, hailobierved it also, and it has been noticed
and condemned in distant lands, to which the
press had conveyed its accounts of these
transactions. It would be well if such persons
would bear in mind this 'tragic end of D'Es-
TERII,E, a consummation so different from
what, in his vainglorious, audacity, had been
looked for by himself and-his friends. - •
:Were we - ," the 'vein," and did we think
that our reaers would care to read what we
might say upon the subject,- we could write
a dozen articles--which would be not quite dull,
we ltope—upon Duelling and Duellists in Ire
land., In the latter part of the last century,
almost every man who aimed at distinction in
a public career—particularly in politics and ut
the bar—" blazed" his way into notice. Not to
have fought admit was the exception, in those
gunpowder days. Indeed, so established an
Institution was the &alto, in Ireland, that a
regular, code of laws was framed to regulate
it, and strictly acted upon, so that, it. a eau
was sh ot, his friends might console themselves
-thatlt was done strictly en regto. We easily
could give some sketches illustrating 'lrish'
duelling; shall we 7 .
There was a good deal of private fighting in
England, contemporaneously with the Irish
" exercises " to which we allude. But it has
very much gone into disuse, of late. The last
duel of importance, 'which gave' almost a
death-blow to tho practice, was fought, in Lon
don', (UChalk Farm, foot of Trimrogelliil,)
.on July 1,1818. Colonel FAWCETT, a man of
great amiability and quick temper, took un
reasonable of line° at, soniething said or done by
Lieutenant Mum), challenged him, .fought,
and was killed. 'Masao was tried for murder;
convicted, and' soatencethte be banged. Pub
lie sympathy was most strongly 'nails favor,
and, the late Duke of lirmaraClTON energetically
interfering in hiS behilf, the punishment was
commuted, and Mimeo 'ultimately restored to
the army. His position was peculiar.. Original
ly a private soldier, he had risen to the rank of
lieutenant solely by merit. The quarrel fixed
on him' by 'Col. FA)veur was without any
misdoing of his own. He was literally com
-pellodto fight his own brother-in-law; because
If he declined a challenge his brother-officers
would send him to Coventry, and, after having
twice fired into the air; he was compelled, at
thist,lo the ut his adversary. The army regu
lotions, as well as the laws of the land, forhade
duelling, but there is an unwritten military

One of Dr. Ton:Notes plaiitudes, started for
the sake'of argument, was that a private war
between individuals Was as Justifiable as, a pub
lic war between nations, and that he could not
see that fighting was absolutely forbidden by
Scripture, which prohibited revenge, but not,
self-defence. Duelling, it cannot be denied,
is inconsistent with the spirit of the Gospel.
Yet, from the prevalent notions of honor, - a
gentleman (and more eSpecially an officer)
who, receives ' a challenge, is reduced to a
dreadful alternative.
Let us conclude with an illustrative anec
dote. In September, 1783, a duel took place
between Colonel Conte Gonnox and Colonel
Timms of the Guards. The night before the'
contebt, in which ho was felled, Col. TimmAs
made his will, which contained the following

we had the pleasure of, mooting three of our fair
countrywomen, the wives of gentlemen occupying
the highest Reis] and official positions-,Madarne
13., the wife of the French - Minister to China; 'the
wife of S oneral poseirn, the Lieutenant-Governor,
and Madame Caliano, wife of the Regento, or the
Supreme Judge of the Colonies. Madame B. was
formerly Miss McLeod, of New York, and is a
niece of Madame Calderon de la Berea, for teeny
years a highly Oats:lamed resident of 'Washington,
whore Belies Otslderon was Spanish Minister.
Madame B. is a lady of great accomplishments,

mired her much, but for her fondness for cigars—
to me it Seemed deoltiodly unfeminine to soda lady

pines; the reunion in this far-off part of the
world wait most agreeable. Sho is a bright, lovely
lady, and those who had the pleasure of knowing
will not soon forgot her.
Immediately after our arrival, wo were invited
to' a. ball at the Casino; the last of the season be
fore the commencement of Lent. As so long a
time was to elapse before the Spanish ladies and
gentlemen, according to the rules of their Church,
could indulge in their favorite amusement, the at
tendance was full. The whole affair was brilliant
—the music dolightful, the &motts superb. Whe
ther walking or dancing, the movements of a Spa
nish lady aro inimitable—the poetry of motion.
One of the favorite anursoments of the inhabitants
of Manilla is dining in the evening on the Colgada,
which is a beautiful avenue, pluntod with trees.
extending touted the city walls, about two miles
and a half in length. Every evening, this is
filled with the elegant equipages of the beauty
and, fashion of the city. Thesearrittges pass up
ono side and down the other. They are all open,
with falling tops. The ladies are all without bun
nets, and it is a pleasant scene, in passing - and re
passing, to witness the bowing and recognition of
friends, and it may bo that, to the initiated, there
may bo recognitions of a tender sentiment. It is
said that the dark-eyed daughters of Spain have
a language of sentiment peculiar to themselves,
end that, in the twirl of their fan, the graceful
folding or putting aside their mantillas, they
can toll a tale of ldvo more eloquent than
their 'sisters of other lands. Whatever may be
said of Many Of the eustorna of countries purely
Catholic, there are some I always admire, and es
pecially those in which the entire population out
wardly exhibit their sense of their obligations anti
duties to their Maker. When the bell is trilled
for evening prayer, it is interesting to notice how
suddenly everything is stilled : all is hushed, not
a sound is heard; thertuorehant lays down his pen,
the artisan ceases from labor, tho pedestrian stops
in the street, uncovers himself, =trek the sign of
the Cross, repeats the "Ave Mario,'' and passes
on. He may soon forgot the act, or, satis
fied with its external performance, his spirit,
may ho unaffected ; still, it is a, beautiful cos
, tom.
The Governor of the Philippine Islands is
styled the Captain General; ho is an officer of
the highest rank in the Spanish service ; ho exor-
CiSOB regal power, and lives in almost regal style.
The prorent incumbent is General Norgagany, who
has treated us with very distinguished considers•
Lion. I accompanied the Commodore in his °Meal
ileit to tbo General; and notwithstanding rumors
had preceded te, perhaps based upon a distortion
of the President's message, that our relations with
Spain wore unfriendly, if not.oven hostile and cri
tical, our reception wee most cordial. General N.
has boon in charge of the Philipplan administra
tion but little over a year; be promises to bo the
most popular ruler they - have ever had Years
ago ho was a resident in the islands, but under far
difforent circumstances. For his liberal opinions
ho was driven from Spain, and passed a number of
years in honorable exile among the people he is
now sent to rule over. In his ease the lessons of
experience have not boon lost.
Although thoro is a largo Ameriaan trado at Ma
nilla, tho number of American residenta aro few,
but they aro of tho right stamp. Our Consul,
Charles Griswold, Hsq:, the head of the rich house
of Messrs. Rusm A: Sturgis, did everything in his
polar to contribute to our enjoyment; tho hospi
tality of his houSehold Is princely. To the MOM
!Ars of tho othor American firm, Messrs. Peale,
Hubbell, R Co., NY 0 are also under groat obliga

LETTER FROM. ILLINOIS:
The Bolters , Convention—Afternoon Session
(Special Correspondence of The Preen.]
SrnixovlELn, Juno 10, 1858
The Convention mot at the hopr fixed on adjourn
ing. The committees not being ready with their
reports. a certain Bonney, from PoOrin, improved
the opportunity to display his oratorical powors.
Ho indulged in some very odd talk. Ho contended
that it was political treason for Democrats to dis
sent from the views held by Democratic rulers.
Tice only, test he would apply was allegiance to
the Democratic Tarty an represented by those it
had elected to office. Tho Presidont of the United
States he considered the ruler, and not the ser
vant of the people. Democracy should teach the
Democrat to govern when required to govern, and
to obey when asked to obey. The policy of the
Democratic party vos expediency, and not the
realisation of abstraotions and lofty theories. lie
rebuked the authority of the " Vox populi," the
Ciovernment of this Republic being one of "law
and order," and not of "popular impulso," As
to the Democratic opponents of the Administra
tion in the Lecotupton controversy, he was in for
the most radical measures. lie wanted them
" politically hung, and historically dissected."
sinking at the same time u slight allusion to his
being willing ,to eerie as "hangman and sur
geon." The gentleman wont on twisting this
string of.fallacy, presumption, and personal abuse
for over an hour. Ile astonished oven - the faithful
by the boldness and novelty of his conception of
" true Democracy." lie Was evidently bound to
make a groat hit. , I sot him down as an expec
tant of Administrative favoi. As such, be pro
bably felt himself in duty bound to amino the
part of the most cringing fawner at tho.footstool
of power, in this body, in itsolf pregnant with
servility.
He was followed by a Mr. Dorsey. Being fully
aware of the importance of the trust the National
Democracy of Illinois had placed in this body, he
was also in favor of immediate and dodgy° notion.
lie was fully convinced that the " Little Giant "
had. Identified himsolf with the Republicans. This
being a foot, no mercy ought to be shown to him.
lie must be looked upon and treated to a sort of
political "Lucifer." If the " fallen angel " And
and lila friends, however, wore willing to toko a
stand with hint on the English-amendment, he
was willing to let them in again. [A voice.," Not.
without six months probation "J But they would
have to do penance. "Their stibuldors must be.
galled and healed over in work at the hind wheel"
—then ho would be willing to grant absolution.
Thu gentleman, who had evidently a largo ox
patience as to the moons and ways of contrition,
•
was forced to conclude by the apnearanco of the
committee on credentials, who annotincod them
selves ready to report. Unpleasant ns It must linen
boon to them to confess to their minierloal weak
ness, yet thoindications of the latter were so ob
vious awl overwhelming, that oven their well
known dexterity in artifidially creating what is
not naturally existing proved unequal to the task.
Notwithstanding their exortions to do the utmost,
they were not able to swell the number of coon
ties represented to more than forty-six. This foot
st ,„) { , vo l ume s, and abundantly proven the fidelity
of the Doincoracy orlllinois to truly Democratic!
principles.
The committee on credentials having reported,
the oommittea on resolutions wore called to re
port. The result of their delibeiation was pro
claimed by Colonel Carpenter, of Chicago. It
was a series of, resolves in, which a vindication of
the President's Kansas policy was Extollingly at
tempted. The gist of' the thing, :mil of the Con
vention generally, however, was the denunciation
of Stephen A. Douglas. His Manly vindication of
truth was called " overwooning conceit;" his re
minding " the powers that be of former proud
-BCR, vehement and arrogant denunciation ;" his
course generally, "unjustifiable and ruinous to
the Democratic party."
This remarkable job was, of course, unanimous
ly approved of, and the Convention now proceeded
to making nomination business, Itt the discharge
of this, us well as the other business of the Con
vention, it booamo apparent that everything hail
been pre-arranged. Opposition was not expected
nor to ho allowed. The Cook county delegation
led the van in ovorything, and from their ordain
moots there wan no appeal. The few restive indi
viduals were 'readily crushed, with the exception
of an Irish delegate from Cook county, who had
the courage and independence to piddle - 1y de
nounce the absolutism of Isaac Cook, Leib, Car
penter, di Co. Yet ho was but an Irishman, and
hence his counsel wile not heeded.
On motion of Dr. Hops, from Alton, John Dough
erty, of Union county, the most noisy prophet of
the Locumpton heresy in Illinois, was by acclama
tion nominated at a candidate of the " National
Democracy" for State treasurer. John Reynolds,
of St. Chur Mutely, woo proposed and accepted as
a candidate for State superintendent of public in
struction. The latter nerronage, commonly known
by the sobriquet "Old Ranger," is certainly is man
of publicity. This "publicity," 'however, is not
to be ascribed to a favorable inclination of public
opinion towards hint, but .to his persistency in
urging himself upon the "public" on nil and every
occasion. Wherever there is a'railroad celebra
tion, John Reynolds must be, and ho hoard.

Tile Vigilance Committee .131oban4eil
(From the New Orleans Picayune of the 9th j
The camp of the Vigilanco Committee, which
for soveral days has bristled at every point with
arms, was yesterday found abandoned. Tho
of any attempt to accomplish, at the present
moment, the objects of its organization, was so ap
parent from the moment the success of tho Ameri
can ticket was announced. that the abandonment
of the arsoual watleterminetl. on with groat unani
mity. A card was despatched to one of the city
papers, announcing the recession of the committee
from their position, and whoa the morning light
dawned it ,fillind an empty barricade, and the
arsenal left iFthe unopposed ocoupation of the city
aulhoritios.
Cannon still stood pointed down the thorough.
fares, and loaded arms were mattered around the
premises lately occupied ; but some of the com
mittee had. gone to the United States barracks,
some to the neighborhood of Algiers, while others
had quietly retired to their homes, ready to re•
sumo their daily avocations," and, forgetting the
past; to unite again with their fellow•citizons in
public or private measures for the common good.
Yesterday, in the morning, thousands were led
by curiosity to visit the deserted camp, and every
thing that there met the eye silently taught a
striking lesson—to avoid a breach of the law even
that good may come. The pavement was in many
places dappled with gore ; the carpet of the Sixth
District Court room was saturated. with human
blood, and offensive with the effluvia of putrefne
lion ; the lockup, the courts of the building, the
halls, and the small private rooms, wore filled
with filth. A thorough cleansing was necessary
before they could be occupied, and a largo forms
of Meeks was at. work with brooms and scrubbing
brushes.
The coroner informs us that since the Arsenal
was first occupied, he has held eleven inquests
upon those slain within the entrenchments, be.
longing to the party of the Vigilants. The public
are already aware that -a considerable number
have boon wounded.
On tho second day after the armed occupation of
the sixth district court, Judge Howell obtained an
order for the delivery of the records of thisvourt
to the officers for safo-keeping. The clerk and
deputy clerks wore permitted to .enter and pre.
pare them for removal, but, whim they returned
with mon to take them away, they were refused
admittance, and the papers for several days lay
loose in the clerk's room, which` was open the
'whole time; and was left opon-on the departure of
the Vigilante on Monday night. A portion of the
records of twelve suits aro found partially burned.
The oflioors wore yesterday engaged in examining
and arranging tho papers, but as yet have do•
tooted no other loss or dainago.
The officers of the Legion assembled at an *sally
hour in the morning to gather up the State arms,
and restore them to the arsenal. Wo understood,
that en learning their condition, the officer whose
duty it was to receive them, stated he should de
cline to do so. - Tho result of the examination by
the Major General, and other °Moors we have not
learned, but the arms wore all collected in a place
of safety.
The street commissioner took the sixty bale; of
cotton usod for barricades, and Moved the lot in
the public pound. We learn that writs of attach
ment wore issued in the course of the day against
it by the clerk of tho Sixth District Court, to bold
it as satisfaction for damages to public and private
property.
With the exception of the broken pavement,
the place has now recovered its usual appearance',
tho routine of public duty is again regularly pni
sued, and , citizens • begin to marvel that Buell
step as we have recorded should have been taken.
Affidavits have boon made against the loading
men connected with this movement, and warrants,
we believe, have been issued for their arrest. The
list of parties said to be known as active at the
arsenal is large, but we aro informed that no at
tempt will bo made to bring before the public tri
bunals any man who did not stand in tho attitude
of n leader of military squads, or a leader by con
nection with the secret council of the Vigilante.
It is desirable that no motives of vengeance
should actuate. any stop row taken. Ponce is re.
stored ; it wore well if good-followeldp could be
revived amenget our citizens.'
