PLOWOS.

A Duel Between Two South. Carolina oiielm Who Meant Business. CHARLESTON, £1. C., July 6.—Colonel E. B. C. Cash, of Chesterfield, killed Col., Wm. M. Shannon, of Camdten, in a duel,, yesterday.

Specials to the papers say the duel took place at Dubose's Bridge, on the border of Camden county. Shannon, the challenging party, fired first, the ball striking the ground near Cash's feet. Cosh then fired, and the ball passed through Shannon's heart. Dea was instantaneous.

Colonel Shannon denied to- the last his having reflected on Mrs. Cash's legal proceedings, which caused the trouble, and challenged Cash on account of the latter's abusive publication concerning him. Shannon was a lawyer of high character, and leaves a large and dependent family. The meetihg took placo at two o'clock yesterday.

The fatal duel was the outcome of a controversy between Colonel E. L. B. Cash and Captain W. L. Depass and Col. Wm. M. Shannon. Depase and Casl\ made arrangements to fight, but did not Imeet, in consequence of the' arrest of the iformer.. Shannon was challenged by Mr.. Clinch, one of the parties to the contract, but tbe challenge was refused. Cash then published Shannon as a coward, and out of this it Is supposed the meeting arose. The difficulties above mentioned led to the formation of the Camden Anti-Duel-ing Association. Cul. Lhannon was about sixty years of Sge, and. universally beloved and respected.,

The Cur kind Uncle Sunt. LONDON, July 6.—A correspondent at Bt. Petersburg telegraphs that the representatives 01 the Russian1 ami United I States Governments have failed to eomc ,0 a satisfactory agreement- If will be., remembered tnat Russia olaimed that American whAlcrs had depredated-upon her whaling grounds in the North Pacific to an extent thai rendered them almost ValuSess, and for these, alleged depreda-J( tio'ns she demanded compensatory dam-/y ages, fixing the amount at a very high figure. To these claims the United States objected, or, rather, the amount of the damage# claithcd, and this Commission was appointed in the hope of agreeing upon a figure which would be satisfac-' tory to both parties. It is now understood that1 the Coriimirision—at the head of which was Russian Minister Shlshkin —has failed ta' come tomny conclusion. ill'
