ABLE DUEL.
The celebrated affair of the Leopatd and
the Chesapeake, tho latter coaimanded by
Commodore .James Harrou, resulted in
Barron's trial and sentence by the court
martial, in the proceedings relative to
which, it is said, Commodore Decatur took
an active part, am! a duel was filially the

llec.itur and Barron bowed to each oth
er formally. HamLh ton stood by Deca-
lur, Latimer by Barron. Bainbridge and
Elliott conferred together, und the former, !
who had behaved fairly und equitably
throughout, was apiioiiited to measure the 1
ground. He marked a line iu the sod
with his foot, aud placing hia toe to it, I
stepped out eight times, a yard to a step,
maiking also the last steti as a base. Four
tiuics a man's lemrth. or iutiuh vour dis i

Each second uow produced tin' pistols j

During all tins tfmeno word was said ex

was Decatur s usual good luck

which stand do you ae eel ?
1 lie axis ot the two lui.-is ran nearly
noitb ind south, obliquely Irom the brook.
DecatUf walked to the north, nearest the
water, where he stood a few inches lower
than Barron. Both threw off their coats
coi ''routing each other.
"Gentlemen," said Bainbridge, raising
his voice, 'T shall give tho word quickly
and as follows: Ph sent kiiio two - three.
You arc neither, at your peril, to fire be
fore the word one, nor alter the won!
three."

"Have you any objection, sir, to pro
nounce the words iu a manner you intend
to give them .'" ,
"None," said Bainbridge, and lie re
peated the formula precisely as he after
wards gave it. For tho lirst time the an
tagonists looked into each other's eyes.
Sternness and the purpose to kill lay in
both. "I hope, air," said Barron, "that
when we meet tu auoflier worTdj we sbalT
be In tter friends than we have been in
this."
"I have never been your enemy, sir,"
exclaimed Decatur.
Here Bainbridge walked behind Deca
tur, ami took place twelve or fifteen feet
to his left, Hambleton as fir on his right.
The same positions, were reserved by El
liott and Latimer.
"Oentlemou," said Bainbridge, ' 'make
ready."
The antagonists swung round eidewise,
and looked at each ulhur across their right
shoulders.

The two arms we.il up and each took
sight. " Ine-rtwo "
One report rang out. The last word
was deafened by it. ( )u the word two,
boiTi pistols hat! been simultaneously dis
charged. There were two pulls, of smoke,
and h. an instant Barron was down groan
ing. Decatur straightened up a moment,
pinched bis lips, diopped his pistol, and
the color went nut of his face. Ho drew
bis light hand to his side. Then he fell
to the ground speechless.
The seconds of both were beside them
instantly. Decatur was raised by his
fiiejls aild moved to higher ground, near
byBui'ron. m
He opened Lis ryes directly, and said :
' J am mortally wounded, at least I be
lieve so ; and I wish I had fallen iu the
Barron looked up to them all and said :
"Everything has-been conducted in the
niosi honorable manner. 1 aui mortally
wounded Commodore Decatur, I for
give you from the bottom of my heart."
Immediately down the pathway to the
Valley ol Cli n ce came many geinlemen,

on hs hip, and it had gfanced Bpward

vessels there. The two doctors exch.inir-
od glances ; there was no hope for Deca
tur; Ins pulsation had almost ceased.
Now began on the ground, as Uiey lay
upon cloaks spread for them, that dying

Next day the little old !7at: uml I:it Hi-
gencer came out with a lead, d editorial
head ssying that itwuUldbe "affect iti.in"
to be silent upon the fact that ihu dm 1
bad occurred, and that the co uLatants
were mortally wounded. In a "Postscript"
it related that Decatur was dead, and ad
ded in the crudu' apostiophe of tb it period

slrot dead, and the mail bags picked over
id the bushes near by. All ibis time
while Decatur's body was going from his
result nee, close by the White House, to
"Kalorama," an estute on a hill overlook
ing Georgetown and. while Bail uu lay in
the city, writhing in pain and listening to
tlm funeral drums, in Congress, John
Randolph offered consolatory resolutions,
but the were objected to. The lone of
the .pecan,. cummeuted. ou tlie dueJ, .-wan-respectful
both lo the living and the dead
antagonists, bnt sternly denunciatory of
"the code-" as our newspapers now a days
could be. Barron suffered dreadfully for
:nany months, byt recovered ni last, and
lived to 1851, surviving, 1 think Decatttrs
childless widow, who was represented m
184(3 to be alive iu the CeorgetoWu Cath
olic College, "in ill health aud poverty,
finding in the consolation of religion alone
alleviation of her sorrows," out but hope
ful of securing something from Congress.
Barron weut to sea again, and had charge
of several vessels, but the shadow of the
duel lay across his life. People forget the
apology for it in the catastrophe of it. aV
new generation of boys r.iso up who read
of Decatur's valor, and learned to regard
Barron as his assassin. Tin poor living
violiiu could not explain against a dead
man. He asked lor a court martial oo
Decatur's charge against hiiu, 'arid was
exonerated with meagre compliments.

What he lived for he ha obtained -elory
in the eyes of his countrymen. Barron
obtained "satisfaction" little more. Yet
I tljink the latter was throughout the ag-
