TKBRK HAUTE,

Our present Legislature is discuaeinfc the propriety of/taking the necasaary^pe toward amendment of the State 3*fg"tion in regard to the time of tho jneetT of our State Legislature and length its term. It is the general ©piMDf among the memberssof the present

ed aside tne press ^1

State institutions to the highest bidder which is getting to be practiced of late.— It is disreputable to the State and f| ought to be discontinued. The action of our present Legislature in quar« railing over the location of the Agricultural College and finally postponing the matter has not been creditable. The re» suit of this will be a delay of two years-in establishing the College and a loss of atoy advantages that may flow froifi it. for that length of time. It would have been far better to have settled the location at once and been done with it. 'ia

The Sonth.

The condition of political affairs in the late rebel states is deplorable enough.— There seems to be no concert *f action among those who were formerly popular leaders to bring about any change. Congress has declared what the people of the rebel Statos must do to resume their former position as part of the government— They must adopt the pending constitutional amendment and choose loyal men for officers. Instead of doing this the people stand sullen and idle aud make no movement in any direction With the example of Tennessee before them the rebel states still stand back and wonder why they are not readmitted to their old places while they still regret the terms prescribed for their admission. Refusing to do as Tennessee has done, they absurd ly couj(,Ui.iu that they are not treated as that State has been. The leaders of popular opinion at the South, are not the true frietd^ of the people they profess to lend Tuey i-tnnd in the way of settlemettt mid roturn of their States. A few auiotig these lenders are beginning to ad vUe their people aught

Recently matters aro looking better in Georgia. Ex-Governor Joseph

Brown,

last week, published a letter, addressed to prominent citizens of Atlanta, containing very sensible conclusions, and good advice. Governor

Brown

is a popular

man in Georgia, and has large influence throughout the State, and his efforts are not unlikely to be crowned with some sue* cess. Tho Governor advises that the Legislature of his State bo called together at once to provide by law for a convention to amend the Constitution of Georgia so as to provide for universal suffrage in conformity to the Sherman ameudment, and for the election of a Legislature that will adopt promptly the pending Constitutional Amendment. He assures the people that they will never get better terms, and begs them to hold public meetings,throughout the State, urging the adoption of his ... plan. His advice is Bound and patriotic, and if followed by the citizens of Georgia

promptly, will be the means ot placing a representative from that State in the pres-.

Mr. Branham supported what Mr. Wasson said. He knew of $3,000,000 of capital that would come into this State if this bill was not passed, aud 400 miles of railroads under construction that would go down under the ruinous rate proposed by this bill.

the dialing ground jvheqe the chivalry, of the city settled tMifr diffieulties ih 'afajpttdance with the custom which then pr&vifiled on this side of the river. We do not know how many duels were fought onthe island, t&t a hunttaad wotfld jwbabMbe a moderate5 einmate, W*t tltne Bloody Island was a narrow bed of sand, with a grove of eottonwoods growing upon the upper portion of it. Now, it is connected with the main shore by several dyked an$ Is fevered with jhoHm, and marked by the iracks of several railroads.

The duel which more than any other caused the name of "Bloody" to be attached to the island was fought in 1831, betweeaHon. SpencerJcpromii politician of the State, and Major Thomas Biddle, paymaster in the regular army. The difficulty grew out of political mat' ters, and the immediate cause of the challenge was a personal chastisement administered by Biddle to Pettis while' the latter was confined to his bed by sickness. One of our citizens has furnished an account of the affair to the Hesperian, which is in the main correct, and is as follows:

Captain Thomas was seen to ride down the Federal avenue (new Brcadway,)and alight at the stile in front of Major Biddle's resideiiee and paes throughthe lawn to the House. He was met at the door by Major Richard Graham, brother-in-law to Major Biddle. Captain Thomas made known his business in a polite manner, to which Major Graham replied that Major Ben. O'Fallon would receive his communication and confer with him. Cap1 tain Thomas retired. After some delay Major O'Fallon returned an answer, sug gesting the time of meeting, the kind of Weapons to he used the distance an'd the weapons pistols, place of meeting, Bloody Island, and the time, Friday, August, 26, 1831, at three P. M:, distance five feet, eaoh to have a second, a surgeon, and mutual friend.

I believe that no objections whatever were urged against the terms prescribed by Major OTallon on the part of Major Pettis or his friends. All the preliminary arrangements having been made, Dr. Lewis F. Linn (afterwards United States Senator) arrived from St. Genevieve to act as surgeon .for Mr. Pettis—his sec* ond being Captain Thomas. Major Bid die was attended by Major Benjamin O' Fallon, as second,, and Dr. Hardage Lane as sbrgeoa.

The day of meeting .arrived and the excitement in the city was intense. By some means or other the time of meeting was found out. It was my privilege to be eogn&arit of alii that iras going on havihg oftner met Dr. Linnv at the house of Colonel Benton, and at the request of Coldnel B. I called every day to commu nicate with him. Upon one occasion he remarked to me, "there will be no child' play." On the day of meeting arrangements were made by1 the friends of Mr, Pettis for suitable rooms on Main street, near where now stands the Virginia Hotel, that in the event of anything serious befalling him, they might have a place to receive him.

Long before the hour of meeting arriv ed, the bank of the river, near where Mr Labadie's old mill stood, was lined with anxious spectators, composed of the friends of both parties. I suppose some thousands were congregated there. A little before the hour of meeting a large skiff was seen descending the river from the direction of Captain Thomas', rowed by two men, and three persons seated|therein who were Mr. Pettis, his second and surgeon.'Tt came flown and seemed to be making for the opposite' shore, and soon landed on the sand bar, and the parties passed out and, walked to the edge of. the willow grove, and out through an opening that had been cut, leading to the ground selected for the meeting.

Yery soon another skiff, seen to strike out from the shore some distance above, containing Major Biddle and his party proceeded across the river, landing along side of the skiff of the other party. Major Biddle and his attendants then passed up to the place of meeting. It is said Mr. Pettis was walking to and fro when Major Biddle«ame up. Mi. Biddle 'had to pass the man whom he was to meet in fearful combat, and aB he passed him Mr. Pettis made a dignified bow, with thesalutation "Major Biddie."

The ground was marked off, and the parties took theirTplaces at the dutance of Wfreptfl|:YB»el*nd firie. ^TheWord was given,Sna trotn flred The multitude on the river bank.exclaim ed that there was "but one 'pistol report, but not so they had been well trained. Both pistols Wire fired, and both took effect. The ball of Major JBiddle passed through the Abdomen of Mr. Pettis, about one inch from the front. An inch farther would have missed him. Mr. Pettis was of a delicate constitution and frame, and almost instantly sank forward, and was eaught in the arms of bis surgeon, Dr. Linn. Major Biddle received the ball of Mr. Pettis in the center of the hip, passing in and lodging the other.

He sprang up, but soon sank to the ground, and was also received by his surgeon and second. As soon as. the fatal shots had taken effect, believing their wounds to be mortal, the two rivals, with noble magnanimity, exchanged forgiveness on the fatal field. A few moments after the report of the pistols, the crowd saw men running to the river for buckets of water. We then felt that there had been serious work. In a short time, a gentleman, belonging to the army, who had gone over as a. mutual friend, got into one of the skiffs and was rowed over by two negroes, and landed near where the crowd had collected, and went aboard of a boat that was lying up and got a couple of mattresses. He was asked the result of the meeting, and only replied that both were severely wounded. He returned with the mattresses, and in a few moments the parlies were seen bearing their re spective friends lo the river and placing them in a skiff. The immense crowd wa3 motionless until the yawls passed out into tho river. Soon they were seen to separate, one going up and the other dropping down. Then a scene occurred which beggars description. Some on horscback, some in buggies, some in carriages, and others on foot, this immense assemblage separated the friends of Major Biddle pass ad up the river to meet him, and those of Mr. Pettis passed down to meet him at the foot of Green street.

I was at the water's edge, and met Mr. Pettis, who was leaning on the breast of his surgeon, Dr. Linn, who supported him in his arms, and Captain Thomas held to his nostrils some kind of an inhalant. Immediately on the skiff striking the shore, Col. Benton approached. Mr. Pettis looked at him, and said: "Col. Benton, have I acted the poltroon "No, sir I replied Col. [Benton "you have proved yourself the bravest of the brave/'

We placed him in a blanket, and bore him to the room already provided for him. His friends came in crowds to see him.— I spent the night with him. His sufferings were intense. I was standing by his bedside, and he looked up in my face and said: "Oh! if I can only survive this?"

There is an ineident, noble in its character, which is worthy to be placed on record, that it may be imitated by others. The Hon. James H. Peck, Judge of the United States District Court of Missouri, though a bitter opponent to the party to which Mr. Pettis belonged, came to his room and manifested deep solicitude for his fate, and stayed by his bedside,en.

Bishop Potter, of New York, was with ex-Governor Hunt in his last hours, and gives the account of the scene

As the last evening toward midnight, his expressions -rose in fervor.. He seemed to see heavenly' visions, white yet his mind was .most clear and collected. As weakness increased, he exclaimed. "How many blessings I have to be thankful fori" And still later when we felt as if his owers of expression might be failing (as had for a long time remained silent), he burst out in tne opening words of the 103 Psalm, "Bless the Lord, O injr soul and all that i9 within me, bless his holy name' Indeed, the whole of the last day and evening was sweet and heavenly. Though much pleased to have me near him, he more than once, during the evening, expressed anxiety about my exposing myself too much to fatigue. His wife and son were always near, and that hand which for more than thirty years had se' tenderly soothed and comtorted him did not fail him now, About twelve o'clock, he discovered me placing his coll hand under the coverlet, and exclaimed with animation, 'Bishop I love you more than I can express.' think he felt assured that that love was warmly returned, though I could not utter the words. In another hour, i. e., at one o'clock, the noble bosom heaved for the last time, and I with mingled grief and joy, reached forth my hand, and closed the eyes which had so often bright* ened at my approach."

Narrow Escape from a Dnel.

Two well-known members ot the Paris Jockey Club came near fighting a duel few days since. They were bathing each in an adjoining room at a public bathing house, when one of them togan to cough. The other was was asleep in his bath.-f Koused from his slumbers by his neigh bor's cough, he was extremely irritated by its pertinacity, and at last rapping on the partition (you know how thin such partitions are) he exclaimed: "Are you never going to have done barking "I never bark you and your like bark, was the angry reply. "You are an insolent fellow.'1J "You area blackguard."

Both rang the boll violently, and when the servant appeared] each toid him: "Carry my card to the blackguard the next room."

The servant suspecting that some trifle was at the bottom of all. this irritation, Wtth, great sangfroid put both cards in his pocket-and took from the shelf two carets of the corn cutter of the establishment.— He gave one to each of the bathers. Each said to him: "Is the fellow in the next room thejeorn cutter of the baths

He replied to both: "Yes sir. He has such a terrible cold the master of the establishment told him
