"I was a coward I We were both cow
nrds 3" ‘
So spake our law tutor, Moses Dmke, and
thus he continued :
We had graduated from Harvard. Laban
-and myself—and had commenced the prac
tice of law. We were neitherol'us manied
though we were anticipating that event.
We had :1 case in court—a 01156 of trespass.
Adams was for plaintiff and I.t'nr the dr
l'endunt in the shape of a bit of knowledge
concerning a private misstep of a former
time. and the present complaint was only a
seemingly legal way in which that other
power was to be used iothhe purpose ot
openings poor man’s purse. A! the trial
1 exposed the trick, and obtained the ruling
out by the céurt ofa scandal which A_dntn-‘
had planned to introduce as testimony. 0f
courseilrwas severe, and as my opponent
had entered upon every bad case, my stric
tures cut home. ' I gained the verdict for
my client, and people laughed at the toiled
plaintifi'. and spoke lightly of his lawyer.
Thus it commenced. Adams could not
forgive me for the chagrin l had caused him.
He had laid it up against me and talked
openly aboutbeing revenged. This was on
the first of August. A month afterwards
we met eta party, where the gentlemen
drank wine. Late in the evening Adams
and I met and a third person mztde some
remark upon the old trial, whereupon a
fourth person laughed and said I had done
a great thing. At this Adams flushed and
made an impudent reply. The reply was
addressed to me and I answered. The two
"outsiders laughed at the Hit I had made,"
and Adams said something more severe
than before. I replied to him. He delib
erately told me thstl was: liar? ~
I had been drinking wine and my blood
was heated. As thatharsh, hard, cowardly
word fell upon my ear passion overcame
me. I struck Laban In the face. and
knocked him back against the wall. It was
a‘cowardly thing for me to strike him there
in that company; but I was too much exci
ted to reflect. I expected Adams would
strike back but he did not. 'I was stronger
than be, though this consideration may not
have influenced him. His friends drew
away and I went out into the Open air. As
soon as the cool bree'ze_ fanned my brow and
eased the heated blood away from my brain.
I wassorry for what I had done, but it was
too late to help the matter. I might have
gone to Adams and asked him to overlook
the wrong I had done. but Ihud not the
courage for that.
On the following morning a friend. named
Watkins, called upon me and presented a
note from Laban Adams. lopened it and
found it to be a challenge. I was re nest.
ed to give satisfaction for the blow? had
struck. If 1 was a gentleman Iwould do so.
It] was willing, I mightdesignate the time
and place. and select the weapons.
W at should I do?
What. I ought to do was very plain. The
lessons of life which my fond mother: had
taught me did not leave me in doubt. I
ought to have gone to Adams and made
such an ofl'er of conciliation as one gentle
man may honorably make to another ; and
if he rejected that, I could have simply
turned from and refused todon further
wrong to right the wrong already done.—
But. lhad- not the courage to do that—l
was a coward. I feared that my friends
would laugh at me and that the especial
friends of Adams would point at 'me the
fingr of scorn!
in the cowardice of my heart. I thought
[would be brave before the world, and I
accepted the challenge.
“ he sooner it is over the better,” re
mnrked Whtkins.
“Certaxnly,” Iresponded. "Let it be on
this vet my,“ sunset. upon the river’s
bunk, (fired) bemoan: the White Heart
Lgige. I wil¥ sends friend to you to nuke
further arrangements.”
“And the weapons?” .
“Pistois.”
And so inns fixed. An hour afterwards
l found J 61:11 Price, a young physicialy. "110
agreed to act as my second. He dud not
urge me to thandou the idea, nor did he
enter the w‘ork us though he loved it, but
he did it because he fancied that I was de
attained, and in gas of accident his pro
fusion.) some: mxght be of ulna. -
“nu-m 13 Iran" AND WILL Hahn."
I knew that Adnms was a. good shot, mad
he knew that I was the same. for we had
practiced much together, so that there was
no advantage to either party in the weap
ons.
Alter dinner Price came to me. and told
me all was axranged.‘ Everythingpnd been
fixed as I had planned, and Adams and his
second would be on the ground at the ap
pointed time.
After Price had one I sat down and
wrote two letters. ighat a coward Iwe to
write to them. One was to my mother and
the other to the gentle being who hat! prom
iaed to be my wife. As Isit now and think
of that hour I shudder with horror—the
hour I wrote to my mother and ‘my be‘
trothed. What was [about to do“? To rob
them of all earthly jo‘y for‘ever! And for
what? Became! hind not the courage to
be a hold. frank man ;: to obey my God end
the laws of my country! _I was to how be«
fore a wicked spirit—tl offer my blood to
folly, and my hand to mnnler!
White Heart Ledge was alight, perpen
dicular wall ofgran ite rising above the river,
the top crowned with dark spruce trees. ~lt
received its name from a peculiar mark,
where n mass ofwhiteiquartz appeared, half
way up the ledge, in the form ofa heart.
‘ Late in the afternoon I was upon thesau
dy shore beneath the ledge; and almost at.
the same time Lalmn‘Adnms made his up:
penrnnce. We were both unxiou‘s to be
thought brave men. ‘ile: did not. speak to
me. Our seconds confirmed awhile together
and then Price came to my aide. ‘
"Must. things go on i”
I told him I did not know how it could
he stopped. Iliad; ibr I did know.
He informed me that ifl would make
the least overture of peace be felt sure that
Adams would accept. it.
"I think," he mid “that Adams is sorry
ior wlmt has happened. You struck him,
and he cannot run-act." '-'.
“And he called me a liar!” ' ,
"I know he did; and l k'now he did wrong;
In tact, there was wrong upon both sides.
.Ull'er him your hand. and I think he will
take it without explanation." "
'No; I would nol‘do it! And why not?
lfvanml to do it! My heart urged me to
do it. The spirit of my dear lumber, speak
ing u] those old lesmns ul‘luve and blessing.
urged me to on it. God speaking through
Ilia son, urged me to do it. The law ol'lhe
hind urgPd me to do it. . '
And yet 1 would not. I was afraid that
men would say I Was u cowmd. U, \wlmtu.
previous coward 1 Was!
“Yuu are both good shots." added Price;
“and it you fire togclher you may both full.”
But I dfll‘t‘d not ntl‘et- the hand ot'concilia
tion. I told him I was ready.
“0 tvcnt back to Watkins. and pretty
soon they [treasured ott‘the ground—twelve
paces. We were to stand back tohback,
those twelve pm’es npnrt. We were to turn
at the Word one, we were to l':llS('.oul‘,.pis
tols at the word two, and at the WDl'ti three
we were to the. I Caught the eye of Laban
Adults us I took my position, and I -w.tm~
ante no angry passion dwelt therein. For
an instant ie impulse was in me to drop.
my pistol a J offer him my hand. I was
sure he won d not relus'e me. But. L had
not the courage to do it. I would rather
do the deep damning wrong, than do that
simple Christian act. of love.
Uur seconds hesitated, as though they saw
whutwps passing in Our thoughts; but we
offered no word. and they proceeded. The
word one \Vus given. ‘ I cannot tell the feel
ings that came crowding upon me at. that
moment. I stood lace to face with my
brothers; in a moment more wé were to
otter our hunds to the internal stark-s! I
thought of the holy love that had beamed
upon me sinceJ hud'grown to men’s estste;
and I thought thatjn one short moment.
more the black pull tnight cover it all.
Watkins was along time in pronouncing
the word two. He evidently hoped tht“;
one of us \vmld relent—hut h‘e homer? in
vain. Only a breath held back the last fa
tul word, but that word was never spoken.
As we raised our pistols, a sharp. agonized
cry, from a breakingibesrt, burst upon the
air, and in another moment two light shad~
ows flitted upon the scene. I wuss prisoner
~Luban Adams was a prisoner. Our pis
tols lay, undischarged, upon the ground.
Two gentle maidens, who loved us better
than we loved ourselves, and whose love
had led them to deep anxiety in our behalf,
had guessed our secret. Love has sharp
eyes. Clara Walcottknew Laban’s hot tem
per when under strong excitement, and she
feared something ofthis kind from the first.
She had only to Whisper her suspicion to

THE PREBBYTEBIAN GENERAL AS
We see in reading the proceedings of the
above body, the leaven working for the dos
struction of good, old fashioned Presbyteri
anism in this land. The faith of our lath
ers is being corrupted and the good old con
stitution and laws for governing their
church, are fast becoming odious to th' -
degenerate descendants. The convulsions
that have distracted our country for four
years past, have thrown into that body 'a
preponderance of the progressive element,
and at every recurring anniversary of its
meeting we nd them more numerous and
impudent. One of our old ministers ie
marked in that body, that he had hard
work to conceive lfimself in anything else
than "a political convention.
The most prominent feature in all their
transactions. was bitterness toward the South.
It runs through every subject before the as
sembly. The only feeling of humanity they
show that way is for the “freedmen,” (it
used tobe the “negro.") and heie made the
burden of every speech, memorial and reso
lution. The opening sermon introduced
him, and, the first business before it was,-
tho reports of the Eastern and Western
committees for the education of “freed
men.” They have had missionaries
throughout the South last year, spying out
its nakedness. but whether they have re
turned with the grapes of “Eschat” or not,
does not appear. One of theirs ents sta
ted that a “Provost-Marshal hag helped
him to secure $50,000 worth of property.”
The Assembly recommend prompt and
powerful action by the churches to send
boats of missionaries (or emissaries) into
the benighted regions of the South, and
allow none but “loyal men" to act for
them there. All their agents must be egr
nmined as to their loyalty to the Governme t,
(Church and State.) They are not com-395.
sioned to preach peace and union, harmony
and love, not a word is said about either.
They are told to go and “collect together
the loyal remnants of congregations, Pres
byteries and' synods.” 'lf they can find
“three loyal ministers in the bounds of
a Presbytery, and we recognize them as
such.” organize them as.suc . and ”secure
the houses of worship if possible,” no mat
ter how large a majority of the disloyal are
against you. Some of those amiable shep
herds may read in the good book about a
certain king desiring acertain vineyard,
which the law did noi.;allow the owners
to sell to him. A few-gays after his wife
told him “Naboth is dead,'go in and take pos
session.”, The Prophet‘ met him in the
grbunds, and “Elijah said unto him, hast,
thou killed and also taken possession?
Thus saith the Lord, in the place where
dogs licked the blood of Naboth, shall do s
lick thy blood. even thine." The words
“loyal and loyalty,” occur about fifty times
in their proceeoings, where that of the Sa
vior occur once. Dr. Breckinridge want
ed no new terms of admission to the
church, as those loyalists are pressing upon
it. In most instances these zealots place
the civil government sufperior to God’s gov
ernment, in matters 0 faith and practice
in the church. The first qualification ofa
missionary is, "is he loyal to the govern
ment." One would think by the actions of ‘
this body that' the rebellion was at its
height, instead of everylSouthern army-be
ing disbanded and civil power in the rebel
lious States being rapidly and quietly re
stored. Our government, against which
the war was carried on}, is manifesting a for
giving spirit. the true spirit of the gospel,
as we understand it, upward its former en
emies. lt pities and-{feeds the poor and
starving victims of misguided rebellion,
and holds out every inducement consistent
with national honor for States and individ.
uals to return to the old fellowship and
union. and they come back gladly. Not so
the ministers of the “Prince of Peace,”
against whom no overt acts are wmmitted.
They like the "sword of Gideon” better
than the "sword of Spirit." They now pro
claim aggressive war upon the Southern
churches, and mean to “possess them if
possible.” What a spectacle lor angels
and men to gaze upon. The outraged gov
ernmént. merciful and forgiving. The un
molested church malignant and revenge/al.—
"'3, my soul, come not then into their se
cret, unto their assembly mine honor be
not thou united.” These infatuated, proud
and haughty preachers know no such thing
as mercy. ‘hey hold out no inducements
for Southern Presbyterians to the old sheep
~ fold. Not they. . They are for using money
without stint to pay for missionary servi
ces in the South, where they are. or were as
Well supplied with churches and ministers
as we of the North in proportion to popu
lation. The salvation of souls is not an
Item in their calculations, as we verily be
lieve, in regard to Southern missions.
Send missions to seize and “secure houses
of worship" if they must leavevvacant pul-
Eilts tit the North to do it. A Methodist
.shoplwent to Memphis soon after out up"
my took possession, drove out the minister
oi the largest and mott wealthy church in
the city and took possession of it in the
name of the Methodist Church North.
That is the "missionmyapiruf’ of the present
day. That is the spirit which the Presbyte
rian: wish to an ore emulating. This
great source of good to poor benighted
heathen is thus perverted into a corrupt
and venal source of personal ambition,par
tizan or sectarian revenge and grasping sv
arice. The great cause of missions will lose
its holy influence on the minds of men if
its principles are thus wantonly sacrificed
by its professed triends.

that the drafted men and those lisble to

have ts so some pains to inquire the party

formation thus‘ far leads us to believe that
the proportion of "skedaddlers" does not

that in some loco itics the sons of promi
nent Republicans have been quite as zealous
in endeavoring to escape being conscripted
into the service as those of Democrats.—
The draft spread its terrors into the reeks
of both organizations. and there are in

desperate expedienls to avoid it. that would

} our columns the legal. effect upon pe one
who failed to report. as required the
‘ Provost Marshal's notices. The best answer
‘ that we can make is to publish the law of
Congress on the subject. The not of‘Mar‘ch
3d, 1865. which is the only one bearing up
on the point’, contains the following: ‘
“All persons who have deserted the mil
itary or naval service of the United States,
who shall not return to the said service or
report themseltes to a provost marshal
within sixty days after the proclamation
hereinafter mentiOned, charge deemed
and taken to hawe voluntaril linquished
and forfeited their rights to become citi
zens; and such desertcrs shall be forever
incapable of holding any oiiice of trust or
profit under the United States ; or of exer
cising any rights of citizens thereof; and sll
persons who shall hereafter desert the mil
itary or naval service. and all persons who
being duly enrolledl shall depart the juris
l diction ofthe district in which he is enroll
‘ed, or go beyond the limits ofthe United
States, with the intent to avoid any draft
1, into the military or naval service duly or
dered, shall be liable to the penalties ofthis
section. And the President is hereby au
thorized and required forthwith. on the
. passage of ”“1 act, to issue his proclamation
1 setting forth lie provisions Of this section,
. in which proclamation the President is re
quested in notify all deserters returning
withing sixty days, as niorcssidnthat they
shall be pardoned on condition of return
ing to their regiments or companies. or to
such other organizations _as they may be as
signed to, unless they shall have served for
a period of time equal to their original
term of enlistment."
In accordance with this act. the Presi
dent issued his proclamation. announcing
the requirements of the law, and the penal
ty of failure to comply with its obligations.
But previous to the expiration of the sixty
days time, Lee’s and Johnson’s armies had
surrendered; the Confederate power was
overthrown, peac'e was virtually at hand,
and sgensral order that conscripts need no
longer report for duty, was issued. In this
district,.msny 'of the conscripts were noti
fied before their day for reporting bed er
rived. We are therefore of the opinion,‘
that none of the consequences named in
the set can legally follow, and that no dis
franchisement' will occunfrom any endeavor
to escape the dreaded conscription. Were
the above not the facts. we have some
doubts if the law of Congress could dis
