friends of both parties to post- , f;i pone the meeting until 10 -r- (.7 0 clock on Saturday morning and that, on the ground, the distance measured exceeded 12 feet. It now only remains to state, that all reports respecting the indecorous deportment ot either party on the ground, arc entirely false that the unfortunate meeting took place at mc appointed time, anu uui the affair, altho' fatally, was honorably terminated. No man ever exhibited more perfect coolness and self-possession than did gen. Mason on this melancholy occasion. It is due to the friends of Mr. M'Carty, who arc not aware perfectly correct.

This timely alarm caused the passengers to pursue the robbers so closely, that they were compelled to drop their booty, and flee to the neighboring bushes." It may be added, that thc robbers succeeded in carrying off a bed, which was amongst thc batiga-e ; and that, among the passengers who thus narrowiy saveu ineir uaggage, were two of the Judges of the Supreme Court.
