At the very instant, as she ceased speaking, I
heard the same wild, guttural cry whilst', as I
have previously !mentioned, young gireeuleaf
uttered as he broke away from his sister in the
ladies' cabin She !heard it also, and as if in
nameless terror, hastened away to the ilarlor.—
ThEn came the sound of a slight stroke, like a

voices exclaimed, !Tart them! part • them"

of a pistol soddenlyt sounded, and th 'throng
scattered in affriftt from their perilous amity
to the scene of conflict, when I was e i
bled to
obtain a fair view of the situation of the parties
They were standing, separated by the 'distance
t not more than three feet, gazing into each
other's eyes with looks of hatred and malignity
the most absolutely horrible that I ever witnessed,
before or since, on the human countenance.—
Greenleaf, entirely unhurt, clutched the hilt of
a dagger, from'which the blade•had been broken
off in the rencontre; and Frank Foeman, his
features being disfigured by bleeding wounds,
held in his right timid the pistol justdiacharged,
and which still smokH at the mule

articulate with rage.
The mute snatched from coat-pocket a small
slate, and inscribed upon it, with a pencil--" Say
what you wish here, for I am deaf " And be
prennted this to his enemy
The latter took the slate, and wrote his previ
ous inquiry .
The mute replied in the Name way—"l es"'
" When 9" wrote Foemao

an wered Greenleaf
" What are to be the weapons'"
Pistols, at ten peaces," was the response
" Have you a scene" interrogated the
Arkansas duelist

He then traced on the elate in large letters—
" Will any gentleman present be so kind as to
stand my friend?" and held it up in view of the
spectators
Jnhn Turtirr, the famous keeper of a pistol
gallery in New grleans, advanced and signified
hi , vrillirigne,s to eomply with the request; and
the proper arrangements were soon completed for
the hostile interview.
An hour. aftettwards, the steamer landed to
take in wood; and the principals, with their
seconds, wont ashore, felle,wed by most of the
male pas,sengers The weapons being already
loaded, the adversaries_ were placed in position at
the ilktanee agreed on, and awaited in silence
the signal. This was to be the dropping of a
white ban lkerchief, after being waved three
Qeveral times, from the hand of John Turner
I was particularly struck with the strong con

with.•ut the least tremulous token of fear for the
result But the features of Foeman, as he stood
with .in unwavering finger on the hair.trigger,
were writhing spasmodically with a grim smile

p(orfeetly sure of his revenge, while the face of
the mute seemed suffused with a warm glow of
enthusiastic excitement, like the sunlight on the
countenance of the warrior when the shouts of
victors are ringing in his ear. The eye of the
A rk.thsas duollist was appalling in the cold cruelty
~f it' gaz,-, that of the other flashed triumphant
ly and piercingly as the eagle's when that bird
of heaven singles out its inevitable viotim from
afar.
At length, John Turner waved the piece of
catnbric opee, twice, three times, and let
it fill; ha yen touched the ground,
the mute had disehar ,his weapon, and Foeman
dropped to the earth Vorpse, ilia pistol roaring

Again the utute uttered that hoarse guttural

President Bachanan at Bedford
A correspondent of the Bedford (Pa ) Ga..--ette
thus speaks of President Buchanan's visit to the
Spi jogs:
Excellency_, James Buchanan `President
of the United States, arrived at Bedford Springs
on Thursday of last week, accompanied By his
nice, Miss Lane, and Miss Rebecca Black,
daughter of the Attorney Gineral So quiet
were his movements that his presence at the
Springs was the first intimetion that the visitors
had of his intention to be / there; and he seems
to have ieftVashington in the same unosten
tatious manner, but few having any knowledge
of his intended. visit until after his departure
The President looks remarkably well,- and
walks as firm and erect as he did twenty years
ago. Ile was cordially and enthusiastically
welcomed to the Springs, by the immense andi
enec, in a beautiful little Incident which occur
r •41 at the dinner table an, hour or two after his
arrival When seated, his honor, Judge Bivn
sitle, in the name of tbe ladies and gentleinen
present, extended to him 4 cordial welcome, and
when the President rose to reply, (which he did
in that courteous, easy and dignified style so pe•
euliar In himsetr, t the entire toompatty rose to
their feet as a testimonial of their high respect
for the greatest. statesman now living, The effect
or his speech wits snob as to make all feel entirely
at home in 66 4 oonipany; and, without any
reserve, all min made his personal acquaintanee.
Divested of Show or ceremony, Mr. Buchanan
is seen mixing with the people as freely and fe•
miliarly as he 'did before his countrymen invest
ed kim with the highest honors in the world.—
Mr. Buchanan has proved himself all that his
moss sanguittee Meads expected of him, and he
is this day u firmly fixed in the affections of the
people as ever , Gen. Jeeklion was, and this ip
more than we ;amid say In his praise were we to

And who needs to be told whose footsteps they
were that thus kept time with the feeble patter

behind whom Acanius walked 'with equal steps'
in Virgil's line, but a strong, stern man, who
could have borne him and nct been burdened;
folded him in his arms from all danger and not
been wearied• everything indeed, he could have
done for him, but just what he needed most—
could not symp'athi,e with him—he could not be
a child again Ah. a rare art is that-6r, in
