BLADENSBURG DUELING GROUND..
The March number of Harper's Dfagazihe
contains a history of this fatal dueling ground,
from Whidh we take the following account of
the Mason and McCarty,duel,:whieli occurred
in 1819:
1i1.19011 AND DeCAUTY
' Oneof the most desperate of those melan=
(Moly enconnters . which have Made this place
so' memorable was that of the 6th of February,
1819, between Gem Armistead T. Mason, pie- •
vipusly a Senator in Congress from Virginia,
and Col. John M'Carty, a citizen of the same
State. The difficulty between them had ex,
isted some time.. It originated in that most
prolifiti retiree of pelitonal . enthity,. -
The parties were second cousins i but notwith
clouding thiti, their quarrel appeari to have
beau prosecuted with au animosity' as uuspa; -
ring as their relationship was intimate. Sev
eral months
_previous to the final meeting, a
violent nletriention had' taken place between
them at Leesburg. -in consequence of- Mason's
having questioned ll'earty's right -- to - vote: -
M'Carly at once challenged Mason, but in his
challenge lie prescribed . the terms andoooi- •
'tioos of the -duel. This dictation of terms-
Mason would not submit to l: consequently
by the advice of hiti k friends, le-declined the
° challenge._ At the .same. time,. honevei, be
sent word to M'Carty that ho was ready toenc
crpt a regular_ challenge, in -a -proper form.
M'Carty poi'po attention to the message, but
.t.h_with_p_ithAshed Mason as a coward. Ma:
'son then sent a challenge to .111'Cnity, which
M'Carty declined' on tho ground Of cowarkllce.
in 'Mason, as shown.by his refusal to fight in
-the first instance. —At-this-junctan : a 7 number
of Mason's friends united in a letter,, begging.
biur to take uo further notice of Nrea'fty. Al
though :-M. , ao'n was burning tinder a sense of
the wrongS ho had received. he yielded to their
entreaties, and the affair was . to , all appear- -
sates at an end.
Some months' afterwards, however, 'While
riding to Richmond in the stage,. with b gen
tleman of high thllititry and politioul standing,
Ito was WWI that he ought to challenge M'Carty
ho decided to do asioon as he
reached Richmond. It was in vain that his
friends now 'endeavored le dissuade him. Ile '
-would tot listen to their appeals:• In the 1(10 :
gunge tf the cald'subsequently published by
theta, "he bad resolved on challenging
Carty, l, iu , opposition to all the advice they
gave, and all the efforts they made to dissuade •
hini.lt To free himself from the embarrass
ments and restraints imposed by the laws of
Virginia in regard to dueling, or infleepeed,
perhaps, by a determination not to violate her
statutes while holding his commission as Gen
eral of. Militia, he resigned, made his will, and
add' e,sed , M'Carty an invitation to the field.
In this tiote, which betterlthan any description
pot-trays tub epirit in which the ountroverey
Wits conducted, ho. says: "I have resigned
illy commission for the ;eclat and pur
-1 pose of fighting you ; and I am dow free to.
accept a challenge and to fight a duel. The
public mind has become tranquil, and all sus- .
picion of the. furt her prosecution of, our quar
rel having subsided, we can now terminate it
without being arrested by the civil. autherity,:.
•and without' exciting alarm among our friends.'
I nut extremely nuzious to terminate et once '
and fofever this quarrel. My friends ,

This note which fully betrays 111mi:to's in
rtlexibility o ftlifits - Trid was
lnever read by. WCarty, wee written before any
I interview had taken place between Gen. Ma- •
ion and his seconds, and was inclosed Ao them
in , i letter containing positive insiructions for
'their -government. He writes them: "You
will present the enclosed cemmunication tb
Mr. Johit'M'garty; and tell him at once that
'you aro authorized by me to challenge him,
in the event of his pledging himself to fight.
If he will give the pledge, then I desire that
you will instantly chkllenge him in my name

Aating under: these instructions, Mason's

that he could see op other 'way of escaping

which the pure heart of woman is susceptible.
It is in the midst of trial . andstifferit;g, mis;

the ardor of her attachment, and the constan•
cy and intensity of her devotion are eneh as
.no-changes-• or. chances - can subdue. - There'
are no recriminations to drive love away, no .
violence to allienate the heart; no neglect to
impel desperation. All is love,•kindness and
persuasion.. Oh, what- is- mofe - eiteet, more
calculated to enhance-the- value of domestic

in its vivuoity, brilliant in its fresh concePtio s

True; these qualifications, combined with those
constituted to render home happy, may make •
a woman the embodiment of all which the most
noble and-imaginative heart could wish or de
sire, but they are not essentiully necessary.
A woman with ordinary features and ordinary -

a one to her who—no mattei - how -beautiful or

Meats, and•Aresses her mind, like her person,

cret of making home happy is to haiie the heart' .
in the riyht place, to have the charity to over
look foibles, to learn to forgive andforget,and -
never be'ioo proud to make confessions—ever
