areby. `Yhere is a letter from Fournier to
Dupont as follows :
Mr DEAR DrPONT-1 am tritorito_ti that the
Emperor has done justice to your merits by
promotingyou to the rank of General of Brig
ade. Accept my kincere c ongratulation on an
advancement hieti is fliers than on natural
consequences of your knowledge and your
courage. For myself, there is a double mo
tive for rejoicing at your nomination. In the
first place,
the satisfaction given by a ci,rcuin
stance so flattering to your future prosPect ;
and secondly, the permission which it gives
us of having a turn together the first oppor
tunity.
The singularity of this affair, lasting as it
did, many years, attracted in time the public
attention. Dupont and Fournier strictly ob
served the clauses of their treaty. Their
persons were marked with numerous scars ,
they continued all the same for that to cut
and slash at each other in most enthusiastic
style; and General Fournie: used to observe
now and then, "it 1s really astonishing that
I, who always kill my man, cannot contrive
to kill that devil Dupont."
By-and-bye, General Dupont received the
order to join the army of the Grisons. Dupont
was not expected, and no preparations had
been made for his reception. There was no
inn on the spot occupied by the staff. The
General was in vain trying to find a lodging,
when he perceived before him a chalet,through
whose windows the light of a fire was gleam
ing. Dupont did not hesitate to go and ask
shelter and-hospitality of the fortunate inhab
itant of the_wooden cottage.. He knocked at
the door , he opened it :he entered. A man
was sitting writing in front of a bureau ; ho
turned his head to regard his visitor. Re
cognizing the unexpected guest who came to
interrupt his correspondence, he said before
the other could cross the threshold :
"Ah I that's you, Dupont. We will have a
tittle bit of a fence."
"By all means, with all my heart," said
Dupont to Fournier, who chanced to he the
occupant of the chalet. And they sat to work,
chatting between the passes.
"I thought you were employed in th . in
terior ? " replied Fournier.
" The Minister has put me into the fourth
corps."
-" Really !, what a curious coincidence I
command the cavalry there. And so you are
only just arrived ? "
got out of the carriage a few minutes
"And your first thoughts were devoted to
me. How very kind ! "
At last General Dupont's sword t,fter tra.
'versing General Fournier's thrust,Lstruck the
wall.
" Sacredie 1" shouted Fournier
".Yoa did not expect that."
"Yes, I did. Directly I left my Quard I
saw that I was caught. But 'tis you who
don't expect what is going to happen."
During this little dialogue, one of the
speakers played the part of the naturalist the
other the part of the butterfly.
" Well let us see what is likely to happen."
" The moment you stir I will give you a
thrust in the belly. You are a dead man."
" I will ward your thrust."
"Imwssible."
"I won,t stir my sword an inch. I will
keep you pinned till you throw down your
sword."
Do you 'know that this is a very disagree
able position ? " eaid Fournier.
•• For you especially. Throw down your
sword and I will allow you to quit."
" No I intend to kill you."
Fortunately. the noise which the two gen
erals made, was heard by the officers, IN ho
came and separated the two combatants.
Dupont, the more reasonable of the two,
now and then thought of the absurdity of
a quarrel, which still went on after so many
struggles, and asked bimself whether he
should not be doing right to Fournier,
to make an end of the matter. Besides that,
ho was going to get married. One morning he
called on Fournier.
" Arc you come to fix a day for a match ?"
inquired the the latter, on aecing him enter.
•' Perhaps I am, but first of all, let us talk
a little. Listen to this ; I intend to get mar
ried ; and before I enter the serious state of
matrimony, I should like to have done with
you."
" gh I oh ! "
" our quarrel has now lasted for nineteen
years. Ido not want to continue a style of
life which my wife might consider not exact
ly comfortable ; and therefore in virtue of the
fourth article of our treaty, I am come to pro
pot.o a change in the mode of combat, and so
to have a final meeting, the result of which
shall be decisive. We will fight with pistols."
" You don't think of such a thing'. " cried
Fournier, in astonishment.
" I know, that is your strong point; but to
equal the chances, we will do this, if you like.
One of my friends has, at Neully, an enclo
sure, planted with trees, and completely sur
rounded with walls ; there are two doors to
it, one at each end. On a day, and at an
hour to be agreed upon, we will go to the en
closure separately, armed with our hostler
pistols, ready loaded, to take a single shot
with each. We will try which can fiind the
other, and whoever catches sight of the other
shall fire."
"That's a droll idea."
Does it suit you ?"
" Ten o'clock on Thursday morning—will
that do ?"
That's it; agreed.- Adieu, till Thursday."
The hour and the day determined on, they
were punctual _at their rendezvous. As soon
as they were inside their enclosure, the two
antagonists sought after each other cautiously,
halting at every step. They advanced sloNtly,
with their cocked pistols in their hands, and
eye on watch, 4nd ear all attention. At the
turn of an alley they perceived each other ; by
a rapid motion they threw themselves be
hind the trunks of a couple of other trees ; in
this position they remained for a considera
ble time, - when Dupont resolved to act. At
first ho gently waved the tail of his coat just
outside the tree which protected him ; he then
protruded half the thickness of the fleshy part
of his arm, drawing it back instantly. It
was for him that he did so ; for immediately
afterwards, a bullersent a largo piece of hark
flying. Foamier had lost a shot.
In the course of a few minutes, Dupont
commenced the WM 0 manoeuvre on the-orib
posite side of the tree trunk, and he embel
lished his original idea by showing the tip of
his pistol barrel, as if he in turn were watch
ing for an opportunity to fire. Holding his
hat . in his right hand, he displayed it as far
as the rim. In a twinkling, the hat wass a blown
away; fortunately there was no head inside
it. Fournier, therefore had wasted his second
bullet.
Dupont then sallied from his fortress, and
marched up to his adversary, who awaited
him in the attitude of a brave man for whom
there is no further hope. When Dupont was
within a couple of paces of his enemy, he
said :
" I can kill you, if I like ; it is my right
and privilege, but I cannot fire ata
human
creature in cold blood. I spare your life."
" As you please."
" I enarejt to-dav,you understand clearly ;
but I rernaln the master of my own property,
of. which I allow you the provisional enjoy.
ment. But if ever you give me any trouble.
if ever you try to nick a quarrel with me, I
shall take the liberty of reminding you that
I am the lawful owner of a couple of bullets,
especially destined to be lodged in your skull,
and we will resume the affair exactly at the
point where I think proper to leave it tot,
day."
Po ended a duel which began in seventeen
hundred and ninety four, and only finished in
eighteen hundred and thirteen.

KNOW NOTI!INGISIIII AND REM-1BL!
CANISM
Tie Gazette, of Friday, quotes a portion of
our article upon the importance to the Demo
cratic party of electing the Congressmen in
the Twenty-first and Twenty second Districts
this tall, and adds:
The Post frankly tells its readers that al
though the conventions which nominated Burke
and Williams ignored national questions, these
candidates themselves are sound Democrats,
friends of the Administration, and committed to
the principles of the Democratic party. In other
words, they are Lecompton and Anti-tariff men,
who hope to be elected by dodging those ques
tions and hiding behind a local issue with which
Congress has nothing to do. The cloven foot is
thus clearly shown, and we trust that Republicans
will see plainly that the whole purpose of this
(nominal) anti•tax movement is to divert voters
enough to secure the election of two locofocos to
Congress who will endorse the administration to
the fall. Will they be caught in such a trap ? "
The misrepresentation of the Gazette in giv
ing the idea that Mr. Williams has been, or
will be, nominated by any Convention pre'
tending to be Democratic, is too transparent
to have the slightest effect. Mr. Williams
himself, or the True Press, which is his organ,
says for him in that paper of Friday, that Mr.
Williams "is still a Republican," and that
he has done what he has done "without any
change whatever in the opinions which he held
in 1556." The article in the Press is a labor
ed defense of Mr. Williams from the charge
of Democracy—a defence which he did not
need—for no Democrat in the county would
ever be willing to admit that the doctrines
-which Thomas Williams promulgated in 1856
when in his own words "ho helped to make
the Republican party," can ever be subscrib•
ed to by a national man. These doctrines
Mr. Williams still adhere 'to, an i the True
Press informs the
_Gazette that " it will prove
both a hopeless and dangerous task to under
take to persuade the people that Mr. Williams
has ceased to be a Republican."
The attempt of the Gazette to foist Mr. Wil
liams upon the Democracy is an idle one.--
They will—they can—have no affiliation with
such as he.
It is true, as the Gazette says, that the Do•
mocracy hope to elect their Congressmen
in the Twenty-first and Twenty-second Dis
tricts, but Thomas Williams, of the True
Press, is not one of the men whom the pe
mocracy either hopes or wishes to elect. He
has had his own Convention, and obtained
its nomination for the Twenty-second Dis
trict, and in order to gain strength for him,
that Convention has chosen to endorse the
ticker which the Democratic Convention nom- ,
i tinted. But in the Twenty-second District'
where the Ti-ue Press nominee seeks to shine,
the Democracy have nut yet placed their can
didate in the field. When they do so, it is
well understood that, according to the usages
of the Democratic party, the nominee for
Congress is to be selected from the Butler
portion of the district. The Conferees ap,
pointed by the Democratic Convention are
good Democrats, and will not interfere with
the admitted claims of the northern portion
of the district, and even if this were not so,
the Democracy of the Twenty-second Dis.
trict would never submit to the nomination of
a man upon their ticket, who, no longer ago
than yesterday, declares himself a Republican,
and whose political efforts all his life have
been directed against the Democratic party.
The Gazette labors under a grievous error
if it supposes that the great principles of the
Democratic party are not to influence the
election. in these districts, notwithstanding the
strange action of the Democratic Convention
in refutsing to enunciate them. The masses
of the Democracy are true to their political
faith fund when they vote, they will only vote
for Democrats. Upon local issues they admit
the right of differing opinions, but upon
ustionallissuep they;will sustain the principles
• W
• 4,47*"..WP.L`.
' 4° • • 12.44%,%_
of their party. The Democratic organization)
even in Allegheny county, is not so weak a
thing as to be led from its fealty by such a
man as Thomas Williams, adhering as
he does to the Black Republican, Know
Nothing organization. The Democracy may
make use of him, but he can never make use of
them, surrounded as he is, by the Anti-Dem
ocratic influences of wealthy Republican prop
erty owners and foreign opposition to Ameri
can prosperity. The Gazelle must seek other
grounds whereon to object against Mr.
SEP r. 4. 1858
Hams than his Democracy, for that is not an
element in his composition.
We have no doubt that the Gazette begins
to tremble at the prospects of its ticket and
so it ought. The party to which it belongs is
composed of such elaments that it can have no
hopes of success. Its only platform of prin.,
ciples is "opposition to the present adminis
tration." The abolition element in its com
position has long ago become so distasteful to
all men with enlarged and patriotic national
ideas, that even the advocates of the Congo
Creed have become ashamed of it, and except
with the Gerrit Smith faction, in New York
State, it is no longer heard of.
The Know Nothing element of the opposi
tion is what still controls it. Tho men who
joined the dark lantern organization, and by
cheating, and lying caused a temporary defeat
of the Democratic party, are still the leading
spirits in opposing the true interests of the
country. They have learned the art of po
litical management in their plug ugly associa
tions, and we find their names most prominent
upon the opposition tickets everywhere. The
Democratic partywith its enlarged nationality,
will as bitterly oppose Know Nothings re%
chrisened in Black Republicanism, as when
they fought and conquered them in the dark
mazes of their secret organization, and could
scarcely tell a friend from an enemy—so
prolific of lies was their organization.
It is on party grounds that the Democracy
of Allegheny County will fight the battle this
fall. The opposition ticket is composed of
mon in whom the people never had, and never
can have confidence either as men or poli
ticians, while we have presented a ticket com
posed of men of unimpeachable, personal,
and political integrity. We hope to send
two Congressmen from these districts to the
National Legislature. We hope to elect them
as Democrats, in opposition to the exploded
prejudices of Abolitionism, and the nefarious
trickery and specious deceptions of those who
having belonged to the Know Nothing party,
are still endeavoring to ride into office upon
the strength of its secret and anti-Democratio
influences.
0. Nelson Smith, Esq., of the Johnstown
Echo, who is ono of the Monument Commis
sioners, gives, in the last number of his pa
per, an interesting description of the Mon.
nument which is to be erected at the State
Capital, in honor of the bravo dead of Penns
Sylvania.
The proposed Monument to the memory of
the Pennsylvanians, who lost their lives in the
late war with Mexico, when erected, will be
the most, appropriate and beautiful structure,
on the American continent. As the Monu
ment is to be commemorative of the brave
and illustriots sons of this great Keystone of
the Federal Arch, who fell while defendiug
our country's honor on a foreign soil, Its corn"
pletion should be a matter of the deepest in
terest to every Pennsylvanian. Such being
the case, we will as truly as possible, give a
description of the plan adopted by the Monu
ment Commissioners at their last meeting.
The main column of the Monument is to
represent the trunk of a Mexican Palm tree,
and the capital, its coronal of leaves, while a
cactus will encircle the abacus, and fills up
the space between the leaves of the capital.
The application of the Palm tree, in this in
stance, posseses not only a remarkable sip
nificance, but receives additional force and
beauty, from the fact that its leaves, in all
ages of the world, have been used as a Byrn,
bol of victory, while its stately trunk and
crown of ever green foliage, have alike been
regarded as emblems of strength and grace
fulenss.
Four pedestals are to terminate the but
tresses, which will project alternately from
the faces of an octagonal base, and support
an equal number of allegorical statues, rep
resenting respectively, War and History,
Peace and Plenty. War assumes a sitting
posture, in the act of returning his sword to
its scabbard ; while in repose, he relates his
adventures:to History, who, listening atten•
tively, holds a tablet and a stylus with whioh
she is about to record the events.
The corresponding statues, Peace and
Plenty, are female fignres in like poSitiolie
and characterized by appropriate accessories.
Peace is accompanied by her twin sister,
Plenty. War becomes their mutual guardian
and protector, with History for his appropri.
ate and necessary attendant.
The arms of Pennsylvania, are represented
in alto•relief upon the plinth of the main col
umn, bearing the motto, Virtue, Liberty and
Independence.
Between the statues of War and History,
upon the base of the main column, will ap
pear the dedicatory inscription.
A collossal statue of Victory, standing on
a three quarter Globe, will crown the Monu
ment. She will hold in her right hand a
wreath of laurels, and with her left gather up
the folds of our National flag, guarding it as
the symbol of Freedom and the guerdon of
Victory. The main die, together with the cor
nice and base, will be octagonal, the different
facades being reserved for inscriptions.
The designer of the plan is Mr. James G.
Batterson, of Hartford, Connecticut.
A trial of steam fire engines took place in
Bostou on the 31st. There were four steam
engines present, the " Philadelphia," built
by Reany, Neafie, & Co., of Philadelphia ; the
" Elisha Smith," of East Boston ; the " Law•
renoe, " of Lawrence, Mass. ; and the " New
Era, " of Boston.
The Philadelphia filled the tank, contain
ing 2,600 gallons, in eight minutes and twen
ty.eight seconds, threw a horizontal stream o
163 feet, a perpendicular stream of 110 feet
and raised steam in eleven minutes.
The Elisha Smith filled the tank in eight
minutes and twentysfive seconds, threw a
horizontal stream of 140 feet, a perpendicu
lar stream of 125 feet, and raised steam in
thirteen minutes and fifty-one seconds.
The Lawrence was withdrawn on account
of breaking a small bolt soon after firing up.

THE ATL &ATIO TELEOHAPH.
On the first of September the Anglo Saxon
world celebrated the most"' remarkable event
of modern times—the union :of the hemis
pheres by means of the telegraphie wire. As
yet it is impossible to conceiva.the great gen
eral benefits to mankind from the praetical
utility of this splendid triumph of science.
As a pacificator among the nations ; as a
means for the increase of material wealth ;
as a medium of procuring a better reward
for every species of industry ; as a developer
of wealth, and as a great general benefactor
to mankind, it is without a rival.
The whole thing is so new ; the success in
laying the cable has been so recent, and was,
comparatively, so unexpected; we have, as
yet, had so little experience of its practical
utitity ; the very idea of it is so wonderful,
that, as yet, we can but speculate as to its
results.
The miracles of anoint days were not more
astonishing than the telegraphic miracles of
our times. The metes and boUnds which na•
ture had placed, as apparently insurmounta
ble, between the divisions of the world, have
been surmounted. Time and distance have
been annihilated. At the command of Joshua,
the Sun and Moon stood still ;—at the click
of the Magnetic Telegraph, time goes back,
ward, and events, which transpire in London
at sundown, mal be known in America short
ly after midday. The lightning of the tele
graph flies from the instrument along the
wires, by hours the forerunner of the chariot
of Phoebus ! These faint, electric ticks of the
telegraph instrument are indeed most aston
ishing things, and, even with calm and severe
thought, it is scarcely possible to conceive of
their momentous importance. They are heard
across the broad Atlantic, and two worlds join
in the ovation at the joyful sound.
" Though they speak not a word,
Their voices aro heard
At a distance no voice can reach ;
swiftly 59 thought,
The words aro brought,
And the lightning endowed with spost.h
Though seas roll be weei,,
And lands Intervene,
The absent are close at hind;
The eye seems to hear,
And space dissppear,
And Titus is cutup:Tod td stand
The wonder at the fact that the two worlds
have been joined, mingled with the rejoicings
thereat, now overwhelms and preoccupies the
public mind; the beneficial results to com
merce, the wealth of nations and of individu
als, and the general happiness of mankind
will come to be realized when the ovation
shall have ceased. Some of the practical
advantages which the daily communication
with the chief cities of Europe will insure tc,
this country, are indicated in the following
article which we find in the last number o
the United States Economist.
In speaking of telegraphic prosrerity, in
connection with the successful laying of the
Atlantic Cable, that paper says;
Thus far a few messages have been passed
under circumstances showing the accomplish
ment of a moans of communication that reduces
the time to a few hours. Bat it is claimed' that
the improvements already made will not only
still farther diminish the time necessary, but
that autographic records can be made by the in
strument newly invented by the Chevalier Bon
ellis. It is claimed that a document written in
New York will be re produced in London in•
steintaueoesly with alt the cheracteristice of a
handwriting. The fac-simile will be eo marvel..
onsly accurate as to defy scrutiny. The accOm•
plishment of such an object involves results
that almost bewilthere the imagination. The
whole exchange °Vexation of the commercial
world must undergo an entire revolution, if the
facts are as claimed. Time and apace for finan
cial operations will have been indeed annihilated.
Payments will be capable of being made simul
taneously all over the world, and the time here
tofore employed in the transmission of bills will
be saved. The accumulation of capital that
now awaits the slow movements of corememica
don will be applied at once to the li euidation.—
Credit, by beceming less necessary, may fall in
to disuse, and the kiting system become no
longer possible. The trade, in " transitn,"
which has grown to such a magnitude in New
York, may be applied to most of the large opera
ations in trade, with modifications to suit air
onmstances. The cotton of the South is repre
sented in New York by sample. "It is purchased
and shipped ordered direct from the southern
port to its destination; during it' passage it is
bought and sold many times. By means af the
Telegraph the same cotton becomes subject to
combination in Liverpool, flavre, and elsea here,
before its arrival,and the resulting exchange may
be closed on the spot by au " autograph tele
gram." A New York ship arrived at Shanghai
may make its purchase of Bilk or tea, telegraph
the feet to the owners, who may :settle the so,
count by telegraph in a few hours. It will no
longer be necessary to negotiate for a long dated
bill on London before the sailing of the ship
hence. The conree of exchange between New
York and Europe has long required regulation.
Most of the imported goods are paid for by buy
ing sixty days' bilis in blew York to remit to the
correspondent there. There has been uo selling
bills on New York either in Paris or London.—
This system has given a monopoly to a few bank
ing houses, and enabled them, in times of dear
money abroad, to kite the gold out of the New
York market, creating pressure here. Latterly,
indeed, since the multiplication of foreign bank
ing agencies, bills have been collected of im
porters here by the agencies and the amount re
mitted as before. Under a new system the
course may change in each a manner that the
importers here will receive an "autograph tele.
gram" to pay the money at a fixed time, instead
of running about to buy bills and taking -the
risk of remitting. Tho risk of intermediate
parties will be greatly reduced. The necessity
of moving specie will be much modified by means
of prompt news.
A few years since, in February, important
sums in epeoio, were shipped hence, to the
great inconvenience of this market, and the
shippers suffered eeneiderable loss through the
change of the bank in relation to American gold
while it was on the way. A telegram would
have saved $50,000 on that operation, as well
as present.° on this market, caused by a ship
ment of the specie. There is no business, but
will sooner or later be powerfully affected by
this means of communication, since its direct
effot is to economise capital, or rather to make
capital more active, to enable it to perform more
transfers of property in the same time, and may
be therefore considered equal to " the eimulta
neouslidiscovery of many Californian." If we
take the capital employed in the International
commerce at $l,OOO million, and this can be
turned twice, instead of once, as formerly, the
effect is the same as doubling it. Itis to be borne
in mind, however, that causing capital to cir
culate with more rapidity, does not increase its
quantity. There is not a bpehel of grain or a
bale of cotton the more produced directly. Its
effect is simply to raise prices. These, doubt,
loss, cause capital indirectly to grow, since they
stimulate production and the general wealth is
imbe:toed. Industry gets more employment and
a better reward, and every class of the commu
nity is benefitted, notwitetanding many persons
affect not to see the benefit to be derived from
getting news in a few hours instead of days or
weeks.
It is in this light the Telegraph is a general
benefactor. If an individual were to offer re
wards to a number of persons indifferently
employed, to exert themselves to produce the
greatest quantity o; articles, each in his line,
and more wheat, wool, shoes, cloth, etc-, should
be produced in consequence, it is obvious that
there would be a palpable increasa of wealth.
This is what the California geld did. it offered
higher prices, or a better reward for every spe
cies of industry, and the development of wealth
in the past six years has been prodigious. What
else would have enabled the country to spend
$600,000,000 for railroads without apparent dif
ficulty P The telegraph now comes forward to
the support of California, and promisee still
higher prices, as a common benefttotor. It is,
therefore, peculiarly fit that there should be a
general and hearty celebration of this, its great
success.
IT is curious what a fondness oriMinals have

drenching rain. The eick are sixty in number
and among thorn was the second assistant engi
neer, whose death from yellow fever ocourred
during the day. Doctors Walser and Bissell
have devoted their attention to the sick, and are
administering to their wants, although nearly ex
hausted from want of sleep and the excitement
and exposure resulting from the destruction of
the hospital and ether buildings. Dr. Walser,
throughout all the terribly trying scenes of the
last forty..eight hours, has acted the part of a
hero and philanthropist.
The Flick men froth the ship Liberty, from New
Orleans, are lying on the pier, there being no
shelter for theni. The harbor police force name
down to the Island ihis evening to protect the
shipping at anchor, it being rumored that the in
cendiaries intended to destroy them. The in
habitants of the affected district were notified to
remove their effects to-day, as their dwellings
would be fired to-night. With the present high
wind, the safety of the village would be jeopard
ized if the threat is carried out.
Dr. Thompson is here, and, with Dr. Walser
and other assistants, are doing all in their power
to provide for the sick and reorganize the estab
lishment. The rain is al pouring down and
there is no place within the quarantine walls to
shelter the sick. The ruins were visited during
the day by a large number of persons.

Y ork ..- Destruct. iom of
Riot In New
Property,
NEW Yonz, September 3 —The remainder of
the quarantine buildings were destroyed by the
mob last night.
There was no oppositien to the mob, and no
excitement.
A guard of 11. S. Marines was present to pro
teat government property.
The conflagration commenced soon after the
adjournment of a meeting held by the citizens of
Richmond county.
Among the buildings burned were six cottages,
occupied by tho boatmen employed on the sta
'ion; a largo mansion occupied by Dr. Mailer,
the deputy health officer, and a fide brick dwell
ing tenanted by Dr. Biddell. The furniture had
been removed from all the buildings excepting
the !set named.
Dr. B. Hough, warned of the intended burn
ing, refused to move an article, and made no at
tempt to stop the dames.
LATER.—loon after midnight the Female Hos
pital was set on fire and was wholly consumed.
It contained seventy-five patients, who were pre
viously removed and placed on the grass plat
between the Hospital and the resident physi
cian's house, the latter being still on tire. Tbere
they remained through the night, covered with
the showers of sparks from the burning build
ings.
The Seventh Regiment of our city had been
notified to hold themselves in readiness fur this
emergency, but up to the last advioes had not
been called out.
Three of the sick persons removed from the
Hospital have since died from the exposure.
