Duelling' Defended.
The Southern Confederacy, published at
Atlanta, Georgia, puts forth an argument
in favor of the practice of duelling. It is
such ft curiosity that we hasten to lay it
before our readers. It is, bevond doubt,
the able. defence of the bloody code by
which bullies and blaekguaads settle their
disputes that we have ever read :
"We do not regard it as any great ionorto
fight a duel, send or accept a challenge, sim
piy for the notoriety in the matter, we do
look upon any man as disgraced who refuses
to send or execy a challenge after he has
placed himself in a position that rccrudres it,
according to the recognized usage amongst
gentlemen. We know of no instance where
the fighting of a duel injured any man, Lut
there are innumerable cases where the refusal
to meet the demands of gentlemen has set the
seal of infamy upon men. It wa3 not the law
that did this, but enlightened public opinion.
"Public opinion is laic amongst and with all
intelligent aud cultivated classes ; public opin
iou has tolerated and endured duelling. It
has even been endorsed by God himself. The
first duel that we read of was between i)avid,
i he Israelite, and (Joliath. the Philistine.
Goliath challenged, Dav.hi accepted, and the
ruddy Ley slew the-giant. David afterwards
beciune King of Israel, aud one of the most
dLtinguished statesmen of his tribe and gen
eration. ;We hold further, that no gcutlemnn will
offer an indignity without a fixed purpose to
Kive satisfaction as recognized by the code of
honor. w,
'lie who itUrSlts a gentleman whom he
knows is governed by the code, and then skulks
behind a statute, or his religion, is a base cow
ttrd and a poltroon. Public sentiment has
rendered this verdict, in all cases, and there
is no escape. Again, we hold that no man
should engage in controversy, such as public
speaking and editing newspapers, unless he
is ready and willing, at all times, to render
satisfaction t those who demand it ; we mean
wher all things are equal. Where duelling
is recognized, society is always bettered, few
er insults are passed, and the public peace
seldom disturbed. Female chastity is pro
tected, the defamer is silenced, and the cow
ardly marked. It is a great blessing and advantage-to
all communities to find out who
are an who are not the cowards ; for all cow
vrds are mean, dishouest, and a nuisance to
society, '
"There are conscientious professors of reli
gion who are right in not engaging in duels,
tor the reason only that a good man will not
insult a gentiemau, and a gentleman will not
insult (in his sober senses) a Christian gentle
man. But if a Christian gentleman is iusult
.d, or fels that his honor is wounded, as did
David by the challenge of Goliath, we think
he would fight, and it was the promptings of
inspiration that caused David to meet Goliath
in mortal combat. David represented the
great family of Israel, the chosen people of
Ood, and theywreiasultedbythe taunts and
jeers of Goliath, a powerful, Philistine; and
to protect the honor and prestige of the house
of Israel, David went forth, armed with that
cbiralric spirit that God had implanted in hi3
bosom, aa4 slw Mm who tad defied his peo
ple. DvtsllDg has been rec$ni2ed by gentle
men, in all ages of the world, as the proper
method by chica to settle difficulties ; and no
people, save the pnritana and round heads, but
what have endorsed it, and legalized it by the
pwWi'eToice. There should be no restrictions
upon duelling. If a gentleman insults you,
and refuses to make the amende, challenge
hitq. U he &il8 to. rccojnue the usage, post
him, ani Let public opinion (as it always does)
rebuke him for hia cowardice., and disown
cim in society.
'This is public opinion in South Carolina,
Virginia, aud other places ; and where, we
ask. can there be found better society, hetter
morals, more Christian piety, true phUantbro
rj. a higher sense of honor, or a more noble
rive Pf Uien than those of the Palmetto State?
Whr.t. has dose it? The recognition, in a
great measure, of the duello. Cowards, cra
vens, seducers, aud slanderers cannot live in
South Carolina. Tha code of honor has driv
en all such men from her limits TVl,ntr
luelling is not recognized, the ruffian, the
ignoramus, the black ruard, and the poltroon
re the controlling spirits in society. There
are no lino of deinurction w here there should
be degrees and gr-ides according to the man
ner in which men demean theiuselv.es.' There
must be distinctions and gravies ia. -.ity, for
the public good demands it, and notbin."' re
runs the proper line of demarcation in society
io well a the full recognition of the duelling
eyotcni."
The flight Sentiments.
A Lanquvt was recently given to the
Hon. Bailie Peyton, by eit'uens of Phila
delphia. Among many ether distinguished
gentlemen invited by the Committee, was
the Hon. Jolui Shernan, the candidate ot
thcKcpuhlicaiif! for Speaker of the National
House of Representatives. Mr. Sherman
not finding it convenient to accept the
invitation so tendered him, addressed the
Committee a letter which we herewith
publish. It will repay a perusal. Though
brief, it meets the issue squarely. A mau
who entertains such sentiments, and enter
taining them, dare maintain and defend
them, is well worthy of the high position
in which it ia sought to place him :
"WASHiN6Tox,Jan. 10, I860.
"Gentlemen: The claims of public duty
here will deny me the pleasure of participat
ing personally in the compliment which you
have tendered to the Hon. Bailie Peyton. 1
regret this more, since one of the objects in
tended is to ;bring together men of position
and influence ffom different sections of our
common couutrTT in order that they may
unite in such an expression of sentiment a"
will tend to promote peace and good-will
throughout the Uuion.'
"No man, North or South, who is animated
by a patriotic impulse, or who appreciates his
citizenship in its high and national sense, can
uesuaie to approve tue 4 jxp-ession of senti
ment' which you propose. Events have re
cently occurred which the reason and justice
of the country deplore and condemn, not only
as wrong in themselves, but calculated to
loosen the tics of fraternity and fellowship by
which our people should be bound together.
The unworthy attempts of partisans to charge
the responsibility of those individual acts
upon a whole section, and to arraign it before
the world as sympathizing with such crimin
nlty, has provoked a feeling of deep indigna
tion, because of this shameful injustice. The
North knows its duties and its rights, and
means to fulfil the one and assert theoth:rin
the Union and under the Constitution. It has
no desire to infringe upon any right of the
South, nor to encourage, palliate, or justify
outrages upon or invasions of its territory, oi
any means by which they may be incited, nor
to disturb those relations of brotherhood by
which we have grown into the proportions
and dignity of a great nation.
"The Constitution was framed and adopted
in a spirit of conciliation aud mutual con
cession. If we do not inherit the virtues, we
niay at least cherish the precept and example
of the fathers who perfected that work of
wisdom and patriotism. In the dark hour3 of
the Republic,-when civil commotion threat
ened perils more strious than the rash rav
ings of Disunionists and agitators now do.
tha Constitution proved to- be our refuge and
safety. Let cling to it in this period of
discord and strife as the best hope and guide,
each section vieing with the other in renew
ing its devotion to all the compromises under
which it was formed, and all the obligations
which it imposes. Accepted with this pur
pose, there will be no North or South, or
East or West, but a contented and happy peo
ple, enjoy ins? the blessings and sharing the
prosperity of a ;oinmon and glorious Union.
"With rev-e. t, JOHN SHERMAN.

The Stale a L'nlt.
The Xew York delegation, in the Na
tional Republican Convention, will be a
unit in support of William H. Seward for
the Presidency; the Ohio delegation will
be a unit, and support Salmon P. Chase;
other States will probably be unanimous
in supporting their own candidate, and for
these reasons it may be desirable that the
Pennsylvania delegation should be a unit.
At least, such is the argument presented
by those who favor the appointment of
delegates to the National Convention by
the State Convention, which will be held
on the 22d of February ; and, to make the
Pennsylvania delegation a unit, is the sole
object of appointing delegates in State
Convention. We trust we appreciate fully
the importance of a solid vote from our
State; but we beg leave to remind our
friends that New York and Ohio will
each be a unit, under any circumstances.
Each presents a candidate who will re
ceive the undivided and hearty support of
the people. No other delegates could be
elected in New York than those favorable
to Senator Seward; and in Ohio, none
other than friends of Governor Chase.
In those States there is one sentiment
only ; and where is the difference, then,
whether delegates be appointed or elected,
or whatever be the mode of their selec
tion,' so long as they represent the will of
the people? Under the same circumstances,
in Pennsylvania, no one could object to
the mode of selecting her delegates; but,
unfortunately, she presents two candi
dates; each has earnest and zealous sup
porters; and it matters not what may be
their relative strength, each one ia en
titled to get delegates by means of a fair
election. . It is possible, too, that other
candidates, not citizens of this State, have
friends sufficient here to secure them a
few delegates, and a fair election is the
only proper method of settling the matter
in a satisfactory manner. If the State is
a unit in favor of any candidate, an elec
tion will demonstrate that fact and silenc
all opposition; if she is not a unit, ap
pointing delegate will not make her so-;
and wo to the men who would misrepre
sent her, by denying her eitizens the
opportunity to have a fair expression on
so important a fcubjeet. We wish that all
were harmony, and a single candidate
presented by our State; and more, we wish
the nomination could be secured to a true
Pcnnsylvauian; but much as we desire
this, there is one method only by which
we would accomplish it that is, by a fair
election. There might be no harm done
by appointing delegates, but it is ques
tionable; there can be no luirm in electin?
them. Then why hesitate which course
to pursue? Many of our exchanges have
spoken candidly on the subject, and advo-
J cate a fair election ia the several districts;
others, we trust, will consider the subject
with the same candor, and will earnestly
contend for republican principles, whether
applied to the election of a President, or a
district delegate.' Support thft man of
your choice with all the power you pos
sess, but give others the same privilege;
and if delegates be elected who will cast a
solid vote for Pennsylvania's choicethere
will be virtue in the vote; but a olid.vote
secured by other means, will be more than
neutralized by an outside opposing ele
ment. Let the State Convention appoint
district delegates, and Pennsylvania's can
didates are surely defeated ; let the dele
gates be selected by thepeople themselves,
in their respective districts, and the nomi
nation may be secured to a Pcnnsylvauian;
and by the latter course the People's
party will be a unit, which is quite as
important as a united delegation in a
nominating convention. Will Pennsyl
vania editors give the subject their atten
tion. State Journal.
Horrible SuO'erin? of a Family.
On Saturday afternoon last, durinir the
prevalence of a severe storm, a young man
who had been sent from St. Clair to Ha
zelton, with a team, for the purpose of re
moving the family of Mr. Valentine
Frantz, to the former place, lound it nec
essary to unhitch his hordes and leave the
family on a mountain, to pro home and
have his horses' shoes sharpened. The
persons composing the family, left in that
dangerous position, were Mrs. Frantz, five
Email children, and an elder daughter and
her husband. After the driver had been
absent some time, the family left the waij
on, for the purpose, if possible, of reach
ing their home ; but the rain falling fast,
and freezing as rapidly as it fell, impeding
their progress. Mrs. Frantz sunk tothe
ground a dozen times, in a distance of be
tween one and two niilfs, yet she cluiw-te
:ui l protected her babe with the fe'rvor
which characterizes a mother's love. ' At
last Mrs. Frantz, overcome by cold" and
fatigue, coull proceed no further. The
young man placed her and four of thechil-
Iren on t!.e ground in as sheltered a po
sition as he could find, picked up tha
.c-mainhig child, a boy, in his arms, and
proceeded home as rapidly as possible.
On reaching home be informed his
friends of the occurrence, and they star
ted in search of the unfortunate sufferers.
When discovered, Mrs. Frantz and the
children were insensible. The mother
was lying on her back, with her babe
pressed tightly to her bosom, while her
clothing was frozen to the ground. One
of the children, a little girl while attempt
ing evidently, to crawl up the hill, had
slipped, her clothing was all stripped
from her person, and she was found ex
posed and frozen to the ground. The
children were taken to a place of shelter,
but Mrs. Frantz was not removed until a
wagon had been procured. The first in
quiry from her lips, when restored to
consciousness, was for her children. The
boy first taken home has died. It is
thought that Mrs. Frantz will recover. '
The babe i.s well. There is, however some
doubt of the recovery of the other chil
dren. What the little family suffered in
the long hours of that Saturday afternoon
and night, exposed to the pcltiugs of a
pitiless storm, ?nd to the chilling" atmos
phere of a winter day, on a bleak moun
tain, with the nearest house miles away,
and their fricudi ignorant of their condi
tion ; what that mother must have suffered
mentally, in their anxiety for her pobf
children, our readers can imagine. WpL
will not attempt a description.
A New Drop Game. New York sharp
ers are somewhat famous for their adroit
ness for "raising the wind ;" but the
following specimen of Western knavery
is rather ahead of New York in that Hnr.
of business. The Seymour Times savs : .
"A man of genteel appearance, with
carpet sack in hand, taking it a foot, came
along the public bquare in Lexington,
Scott county, Indiana, and when crossing
the square, dropped dead to all appearance.
Everybody ran, medical aid was called,
rubbing commenced, the 6traoger still
slept and was very stiff ; to all appearances
his limbs were paralyzed, so that he could
be raised without the limbs giving away.
"Bleed him" several halloed; the man
comes too all once ; looks wild. Voice in
the crowd "Who are you ?" "AVhere
did you come from !" lie pulls out a pen
cil and writes, "I have been out to Mich
igan to see a brother, but when I got
there he was dead ; I am making rny way
home; am out of money ; I live in Cleve
land, Ohio. Sympathy runs high; the
crowd makes him up a pony purse, SS 50 ;
gives him. He travels to Iieut, 9 miles ;
drops again ; everybody is alarmed ; comes
too ; tells he is out of money ; they make
him up a pony purse ; the doctor takes
him. home aud gives hi iu something to
cat; off he goes to llichie's Mill; drops
again; no men about ; women frightned

he is out of money, and wants to get home :

MORDICAI AND SUNNA VAGUN;
OR,
The fcrils of Hunting Deer ont of Season.
Founded on Fact.
BY DR. IIEIO Y A F ELO,
-' ' CHAPTER I.
:lf any person or persons shall hunt, chase
or follow, with a design to kill or ' destroy
any buck, doe or fawn, within the lands al
ready or hereafter to be purchased from the
Indians, at any other time or season, except
ing only between the fir?t day of the month
of August, and the first daj' of the month of
January, and shall be lawfully convicted
thereof by the oath3 or affirmations of one or
more credible witnesses, or the confession of
the party, before one or more justices of the
peace for the respective county where buch
offence shall be committed, he or they shall
forfeit and jay the sum of three pounds for
every such offence." Vurdon.
So stood the law in Pennsylvania on
the 9th day of April, in the 'car of our
Lord, 1700, and so it rcmaincth even unto
this day.
But what cared Sunna Vagun for the
law ? He had formed a wilful, deliberate
and premeditated purpose to go a-hunt-ing.
And go he would, regardless of the
consequences.
It was the second day of January, 1800.
Sunna Vagun had long cherished a de
sire to ''hunt, chase or follow" a "buck,
doe or fawn" with a "design to kill or
destroy" it and not only so : but, if pos
sible, to carry that design into execution.
An opportunity to distinguish himself as
"a mighty hunter" had never before pre
sented itself. It wasn't his fault if that
opportunity happened to come on the 2d
da' of January.
But the law !
' What cared Sunna Vagun for that ?
Wits he to be foiled of a most glorious
purpose of a most brilliant achievement
-simply because that which he meditated
was unlawful ? What right had tho peo
ple of 1TG0 to prohibit him from hunting
deer whenever he pleased? to impose
penalties on au individual whom they had
never seen, never heard of, and about
whom they didn't care a red? They
had no such right.
Sunna Vagun was not to be deterred.
The penalties of a rusty old act of Assem
bly had no terrors for him. lie knew no
North, no South, no East, no West, no
"Deer Season," under the Constitution.
Mistaken Sunna Vagun !
But Sunna Vagun would go a-hunting.
CHAPTER II.
No sooner had Sunna Vagun decided to
go, than he cast about him for a compafj
non du royaje by which remarkable term
is meant, that he hunted for somebody to
go a-huhting.
In this search, Sunna Vagun was emi
nently successful. He soon found his man.
It was Mordicai! yes, Mordicai ! that
dear, good old soul, who, iu due observ
ance of a custom peculiar to himself, had
come to Ebensburg that very morning to
get on a tear.
In Mordicai Sunna Vagun had a man
to agree with him most heartily in cverv
opinion that he advanced relative to the
obnoxious -statute of 1700. Nay, if possi
ble, Mordicai went a peg or two farther.
lie took the broad ground, that a statute
a hundred years old would be "cut out by
the limitation."
' Ill-fated Mordicai!
AVhen Sunna Vagun found him, Mordi
cai had already deposited in his archives,
for safe-keeping, several large gIaC3 of
small beer, that delightful beverage hav
ing been his favorite from time immem
orial; although he always, could, when
necessary, substitute for it the more pow
erful liquids, without any serious scruples
of conscience.
Whether from the effects of the small
beer or not, Mordicai had already begun
to look wise. His eyes twinkled like stars,
and had a sharpness about them more
easily imagined than described. What if
his tongue, was a little thick? Still it
went went went even as doth the clap
per of a cow-bell.
This was Mordicai.
- lie- would-iro-a-h-u-n-t-i-n-"'
Cn AFTER III.
Jtcrn"nCf nPon having a good old
time to themselves, Sunna Vagun and
Mordicai resolved upon a three days' hunt
and vigorously began their preparations!
When all was complete, their outfit
pr whatever you please to call it was as
follows :
uorsc, (aa ocaten, hrokeu and lean
1 flask whiskey.
1 log-sled.
1 pint whiskey. .
1 sett of gear.
1 quart rhiskcy, (tanglefoot.)
1 female gun.
1 single barrelled do.
8 lbs. cheese.
3 botUcs whiskey. Moodendai 1
1 bottle brandy.
4 lbs. bullets.
4 bottles Schiedam Schnapps.
h bushel onions.
1 bottle old rye whiskey.
2 boxes percussion cops.
4 lbs. shot.
3 Democrat & Sentinels, (for wadding.)
5 do do (for other purpocu.)
2 bottles Hostetter's Bitters.
17 yds. Bologna sausage.
1 bottle pepper sauce.
1 bottle brandy, (Cognac.)
A bbl. crackers.
1 bottle Jayne's Bitters.
1 quart superior corn-top whiskey.
4 boxes sardines.
12 bottles excelsior small beor.
1 keg lager.
1 bottle whiskey.
2 jars pieLles,
1 gallon Holland Gin.
2 blauket3.
2 doz. Scotch herrings.
1 tin cup.
1 bottle brandy, (laudanum brand.)
1 bottle ready-made cocktails.
j gallons whiskey, (for medical purposes.)
2 buffalo robes.
5 gallons whiskey, (for mechanical purposes.)
1 demijohn whiskey.
5 gallons whiskey, (for artistical purposes.)
1 keg whiskey.
By common consent, the jackals was
saddled and bridled expres&ly for Mordi
cai. The old horse was then geared, and
hitched to the log-sled ; and upon the
latter were carefully packed all the ne
cessaries of life which had been so boun
tifully provided for the intended excur
sion. CHAPTER IV.
Everything being arranged as detailed
in the last chapter, Mordicai and Sunna
Vagun partook of a little whiskey ; and it
was agreed that Mordicai, on account of
his enlarged experience; and great famili
arity with the country, should lead the
way. On Sunna Vagun devolved the
equally responsible task of bringing up
the rear with the old horse and lo2;-sled.
An immense crowd had eoiisyretratcd to
witness the departure.
Having each taken a gl.u-.s of small
beer, Mordicai mounted the j:ickf.ss, and
Sunna Vagun took his position on the
log-slcd.
The air was chilly, and the journey be
fore them deemed a perilous one. Mor
dicai suggested the propriety of taking a
slight nip cf whiskey befjre starting. To
a proposition so reasonable in itself, Sunna
Vagun couldn't see the least objection.
The nip was taken.
"Are you ready?" asked Mordicai-
"Beady !" was the prompt reply.
"Then here goes!"
CHAPTER V,
Slowly but surely the procession moved.
The old horse snorted a little at the out
set, and occasionally the jackass brayed.
Numerous bad boys, too, followed after
and along with the procession and vainly
sought to ridicule it.
Rude aud uncultivated boj-s!
The air was vocal with disagreeable
noises !
"Snort! snort! snort!" went the old
horse. "Bray! bray! bray!" went the
jackass.
''There goes old Suuua Vajrun with his
old horse and log-sled!" said one impu
dent brat.
"Aud there goes old Mordicai a ridin
on a jackass!" said a dozen saucy urchins.
"G' lang, Shell Bark!" 'Hoora for
Sunna Vagun !" "Give us a nip, Mordi
cai !"
"Ha, ha, ha ! he, he, he ! hi, hi, hi !
ho, ho, ho! hu, hu, hu!"
"Snort, snort, suort!"
"Bray, bray, bray!"
But what of all that ?
Far above these discordant sounds was
heard the sweetest music delightful, en
chanting strains which lingered upon the
ear3 of all more especially upon the lone
cars of the jackass. Mordicai was singing
his favorite; in the execution of which
Sunna Vagun gave all the assistance in
his power. Mordicai sang the air ia his
usual good style. Sunna Vagun, "though
not much of a" basso, whittled the bass
as best he could.
It was an imposing sight !
Starting at the place of beginning, the
cavaicade proceeded along High street to
Phaney street, where it halted so as to
give Mordicai and Sunna Vagun time to
take some lager. Thence, up Phaney
street to Sample street; where a little
Schiedam Schnapps was indulged in.
Thence, up Sample street to Juliann
street; where two drinks of brandy were
disposed of. Thence, down Juliann street
to High street ; where a bottle of whiskey
was dispatehed. Thence, down High
street to the Diamond; where the caval
cade came to a dead halt, so as to allow
Mordicai and Sunna Vagun an oppor
tunity to take a few drinks of whiskey.
Oh, the consequences of that halt!
