Gazette, Lancaster,Monday evening, Dec. 2,1839. Dear Sir:—ln looking over your paper of this morning, my attention was arres ted by as article headed "Shucking Out• rage," having reference to, and purport ing to be an account of. the recent affair between James Cameron, Esq., anti Mr. Robert W. M iddleton, of this city, editor of the Examiner and Democratic Herald. is that account is so utterly destitute of truth, in every particular, from coinmence ment to conclusion, and well knowing, that you would not knowingly mislead the public upon any subject, and particu larly so when the reputation of a fellow citizen is at stake, I feel it to be my duty, as a disinterested party, to give you a brief but plain statement of the whole transaction. Mr. Middleton, as t:.e editor of the Ex aminer. has, from time to time, made such expositions of the official conduct of Mr. Cameron, as superintendent of motive power on the Philadelphia and Columbia rail road, as to excite his most bitter en mity, So much has it been excited, that Cameron has been heard to declare, upon more than one occasion, that he would be revenged of Middleton, and would beat him to within an inch of his life. It is proper to remark here, that Camera is a man standing six feet or upwards in height, with a frame corresponding in muscular proportion. Mr. Middleton, on the con trary, is a man of small stature, scarcely reaching live feet seven inches in height, and of a light and fragile fem. So small is he, that he is little more than half the weight of Cameron. The last number of the Examiner con.. tained nothing more than an advertise ment, copied from a late number of the Philadelphia Public Ledger, over the sig nature of "Justice," cautioning workmen employed on the Philadelphia and Colum bia Railroad against signing receipts with ' out the money being first paid them in hand. This may, or may not, have allu ded to Mr. Cameron. There were no names mentioned; and, of course, any appropriation of any thing contained in the advertisement in question to himself, was altogether gratuitous. Your infor mant is in error, when he states that allu sion war made by Mr. Middleton, in his paper, to Mrs. Cameron, and that this was the cause of the present difficulty. Eve ry reader of that gentleman's paper knows this to be false; for no allusion whatever, either express or implied, has ever been I made to that lady in the columns of his I paper, whilst the same has been under his control. Having premised this Much, i will now state the whole history of al•e attack, fives the commencement to the conclusion.— It seems that on Saturday morning, Ed ward Colethan, Esq. of Philadelphia, the enterprising proprietor of the Conestoga Navigation, invited the different editors of this city to his rooms at Mrs. Hubley's hotel, for the purpose of inspecting certain maps, drafts, and profiles of the works.-- Among others, Mr. Middleton attended; and after remaining with . Mr. Coleman until the object of their visit had been concluded, he rose to depart. Before he reached the door, he was rudely and vio lently assaulted by Mr. Cameron, who, catching him with an iron grip by the neck, asked him if he knew him. Mr. Middleton replied in the affirmative.— But before Cameron could strike hint, he. was prevented by two gentlemen in the room, who interfered in Mr: Middleton's behalf. Mr. Coleman, iti the mean time, observing the danger of his guest, ap proached Cameron, ;nforming him of the gross impropriety of his conduct in intru ding himself into a private party, for the sole purpose of creating a disturbance, in• duced him to desist. Cameron thereupon relaxed his hold, but threatened that he would be revenged at another time and place. He then west off to another tav ern, where, after drinking something, he took a large stick, and goiug out, observed to the proprietor that he would "cane Middleton." He then walked up north Ureenstrect, to Mr. Middleton's office. That gentleman had returned to it in the mean time, and fearing an attack might he made upon him, had armed himself with a pistol. As Cameron crossed the street to his office, Mr. Middleton was standing in his door. When the former reached the pavement, the latter retreated into the of fice; Cameron following rapidly, reached the steps, and began to ascend. Seeing this, Mr. Middleton called out to him to desist in making any further attempt to advance, or he would defend himself; but Cameron intent only upon the erati fica lion of his passion, continued to mount the steps. Reaching the upper one with his lift foot, he entered the office with his right, and with the stick raised in his right hand, within three paces, at furthest, of Mr. Middleton, who had fallen back un til lie could retreat no further, being al most on the stove. While Cameron was in the act of striking, he fired his pistol at him, in as clear a case of self defence as [WrroLE No. 215 ever vas presented to the common sense or any man. _Theban struck Mr. Cameron on ons f his ribs on his right sid,, and struck it in an oblique direction, passed between theskin and flesh to the left side, where it lodged. and was subsequently extricated. Cam eron was so much frightened at the recep tion lie met with, that he did not know he was wounded at all, sordid he discover it until lie had walked into an adjoining house, from whence he was afterwards car ried home. His wound was at no time considered dangerous, although many ex• ertions were made to create an impres sion that it was mortal. Mr. Middletop immediately surrender ed himself to the proper authorities, and after an examination before the Mayor. was committed. This afternoon applica tion was made to Judge Hayes, of the- District Court, for a habeas corpus in his case. This writ was granted, and wilt he returned to-morrow at ten o'clock, A. NI., whenthere is no doubt he will be dis charged. HORRIBLE ADVENTURE WITH A. SERPENT • The writer having been out shooting. lay down to rest under a tree, when sud denly he wee aroused by a simultaneous baying of his dogs. 'On turning round, I beheld a snake of the Corbra de Capella, species, directing his course towards a point that approximated very close to my position. In an instant I was on my feet The moment the reptile became aware of my presence, in nautical phraseology, it bodily brought to, with an expanded head eyes sparkling, and neck beautifully ar ched, and head rained nearly two feet frotn the ground, and oscillating from side to side, plainly indicative of a resent till foe. I seized the nearest weapon, a short bamboo, left by one of the beaters, and hurled it at my opponent's head; I was fortuate enough to hit it beneath the eye. The reptile immediately fell and lay ap parently lifeless. Without a moment's reflection I seized it a little below the head, hauled it beneath the shelter of a tree, and very cooly began to examine the mouth for the poisonous fangs, of which the naturalists speak so much. While in the act of forcing its mouth o pen with a stick, I felt the head sliding through my hand, and to my utter aston ishment became aware that I had now to contend with the most deadly of reptiles in his full streangth and vigor. Indeed, I was in a moment convinced of this, for as I tightened my hold round its throat, its body became wreathed round my neck and arm. If the reader is aware of the universal dread in which the Cobra de Cornelia is held threughout lodic, & the Almost instant death which invariable fol lows its bite, he will, in smite degree be a ble to itnagir,e my feelings were at the ino went; a faint kind of oisgusting sickness pervaded my whole frame as felt the clammy fold of the reptile tightening a bout my neck. I still held the throat, but tat hold it much jlonger %multi be impos sible, immediately beneath my grasp, there was an inward warking and creep ing of the skin, which seamed to be as slated with the very firmness which I held it. Finding, in defiance of my efforts, that my hand was each moment forced closer to nay face, an idea struck tne, that were it nay pewee to transfix the mouth with some sharp instrument. it would pre vent the reptile from using his fangs, should it escape my hold. My gun lay at my feet—the ramrod appeared the very thing required, which with some difficulty I succeeded in drawing out, having only one arm disengaged. My right arm was now treitibliag from over exertion, and my hold became less firm, when I happi ly succeeded in passing the rod through the lower jaw up to its centre. It was not without considerable hesitation that I let go my hold of the throat, and seizing the rod in both hands at the same time, by . bringin them over my head, with a sud den jerk, I disengaged the hold from my neck, which had latterly become almost tight enough ;to produce strangulation. There was then little difficulty in freeing my right a•rn, and ultimately to throw the reptile from me to the earth, where it con tinued to twist and writhe itself into a thousand contortions of rage and agony. To run to a neighboring stream, to lave my neck, hands, and face, in its cooling waters, was toy first act after despatching my formidable enemy. 'Chris concludes a true, though plainly told tale. As a mor al it may prove, that when a man is pos sessed tut determination, coolness, earl energy, combined with reason, he will generally conic oft triumphant, though lie may have to circumvent the subtlety of the snake, or combat the ferocity of the Praise the fineness of the day when it is ended—praise a woman when you have known her—a sword when you have pro ved it—a maiden when she is married—tha ice when you have crossed it—and a news. piper when you have read it.
