the French Cabinet complicate England's
relations with the : continental ' powers
still further; there is great strain in the op
posing sections of the British Cabinet ;
England still distrusts Russia's purposes;
ihe Czar has given additional assurances;
new danger threatens England on the part
of Germany ; the latter wants to obtain a
; seaboard that would seriously affect Engr
land; it is said if England goes to war there
ill be serious complications nearer home.

Senator Vodrhees has made a cap-.
ital speech:- The abstract in oitr tele

give points. ! The country will . in

inclined to think. He certainly re

The dael In Sooth Carolina j jbe
tween two brothers-in-law, by - which
one loses his life, is a fearful ! com
mentary upon a "relic of barbarism"
that should find I no. , place- among
Christian people. But . that is not
worse . than the ; vendetta'; that dia-
graced Charleston a few days ago, by
which two citizens were seriously, if
not mortally, wonnded. Public sen
timent alone can cure the evil.:, Laws
appear, to be powerless." '
The Russians are steadily carrying
to a successful issue the purposes of
the war. One of their armies is ad
vancing upon Adrianople, and when
that falls the next act in the bloody
drama will be the march on Con
stantinople. : Peace only can stop
the progress of the victorious Mus
covite. England distrostsitbeCpiirv
poses of Tlnssia despite repeated as
surances. In the) meantime ; France
threatens to increase England's diffi
culties by a recent circular' sent to
all of the French Consuls in 3reat
Britain,' and by a recent inquiry
made of Lord Derby as to England's
pnrpose in regard to Egypt. . There
is, at the same time, irreconcilable
antagonisms" in the British Cabinet
relative to the policy to be pursued.
To complicate- matters still farther,
Germanyis manceavering to secure a,
seaboard that ; will seriously affect
England, and important information
has just been received in London that
!f England should engage in the
Eastern war itT wonld be the forerun
ner of more serious complications
nearer home. V What these complicaV
tions are we have yet to learn.

any arrangement that would be satis

i.uen approacneu tne opposite party
witn tne same .inquiry. . . Mr. Uarley
replied that ,he had called Mr. Fish-
purne a. cward in South Caro

either to prove him a - coward or
leave his bonea on the soil. Finding
bb' endeavors fruitless the mediator
retirea, nrst returning to Mr. Fish
burne with the information that his
felforts were f rnttless.
'' At 1 1 o'clock . the - principals took
ibeir places ten paces apart, no one
eise neing men present except their
friends and surgeons. It fell to Mr.
Fishbnrne's friend to eive the word.
The question was asked; "Gentlemen,

'Fire. One, two, three. Stop or halt.

back and gave; the -word: --'"Gentle

leaving uuie interval between tne last
two. iSetweea the words "one and

Mr. Fishbarne's head. Immediately

Fishburne at Once left the ground,
leaving Uhe surgeons and Mr. Har

Harley was shot in the lower right
side of the abdomen, the ball passing
through his body. It is reported that
the surgeons pronounced Mr. Harley's
wound a mortal one, and suggested
his removal to a house in the neigh
borhood. '." ' j;.;. ';' " :.,
