The Cincinati Times thinks there should be a special professorship for instruction in local editing, and discourses thereon in this wise : "The student in the local business should have a great deal of exercise on his legs each day taught that it isn't brains so much as leg talent that is re quired to make an efficient local repor ter. He must learn to smell an item a Ions distance, the model war horse 'snuffeth the battle from afar,' and spare no exertion in finding it. His fancy and imagination need be cultivated somewhat, and his invention quickened and encouraged, in oider that he may have something to fall back on in case things persistently refuse to happen, tor the public demands local news everyday, remember, whether there be any or not. Deprive them ol able 'leaders,', and they may stand it lor a day or two, but they won't give up their local news not lor single issue. "The would-be local will require lit- iowMti 81u:li tNo receivinonres-' ents of boota, bats, clothing, bottles ot ; wine, oysters, cigars, deadhead tickets, etc. They learn that very reapily. The professor can do as he pleases about ad vising them to accept or refuse such perquisites. ' "The student should be taught to miss his meals olten, sit up late nights at all sorts of festive suppers, and sit patiently to bear long and dull speeches from after dinner, orators. He must learn not to be alarmed by threats of horsewhipping, and must be licked occasionally-by the professor to accuse torn him to any incidents of the kind that are not improbable to occur. . " He most be taught to have no erao tions of his own, to look upon all ca lamities with a purely professional eye, to observe and describe the convulsing humor' of a popular comedian, and catch the last sigh of an expiring vic tim of the hangman, with the same stocial indifference. The professor ot local reporting ought to thang a man occasionally in the presence of the class, in order that they may become accus tomed to reporting executions. And finally, the candidate lor the ' local ' chair should learn to live oa a moderate income, sternly subdue all inclinations for more than the necessaries of life, and be willing to gi vejpoverty a smiling wel come, until fate or his own exertions hoists him to a higher place in it. How Success is Won. The follow ing sketch! is not only true, but may be read with profit by many young men of every section of the country: At the -close of the late war a youth, poor and friendless, left Richmond, Va., and entered the city of NewTork a lad of seventeen, with not a dollar in his pocket, but possessing a determina tion to succeed if politeness, sobriety, integrity and close attention to business could push him. He found employment m a jawelry establishment at $S per week, a bare subsistence in the city of New York. Close attention to business soon brought him to the nothe of his employers, and step by step he advanced up the ladder of prosperity until to-day we find him a partner in the firm of Messrs. May & Stern, No. 20 John street, New York, one ot the largest importing and whole sale iewelry establishments in that city. This young man is Mr. Nat. Federlin, and no man in hi3 line in New . York commands a better trade or possesses the confidence of his customers to a greater extent than he does. We do not refer to this solely with a viewof complimenting Mr. Federlin, or for the purpose of advising young men to go to New York or to any other city with the hope ot achieving tue same . . the Recent Duel in Richmond, Va., a Gentleman Well Known Here Severely Wounded. The fol lowing particulars concerning the recent unfortunate duel near Richmond, Va., are furnished by the Richmond corres pondent of the Norfolk Journal of yes day. Our dispatches stated that. Mr. Mordecai was fatally wounded ; we are pleased to learn by private and associ ted press dispatches that his condition was more favorable yesterday.'. - Mr. Moredcai was on a visit to his relations in this city but a few days ago. Says the correspondent: "You will recollect that some weeks ago I called attention to a quarrel between two young gentlemen of this city in regard to certain verses pub lished in the Enquirer, and:which refer red to a young lady in terms that one of the young men alluded to resented. The other young man was the author ot tha verses, Mr. Page McCarthy, of this city, and Mr. J. B. Mordecai, also ot this city, was the other party to the understood that Mr. McCarthy declined to fight. A few nights since those young men met at a club of which both are members, and a fresh quarrel arose on the old subject, when blows 'passed between them, the report being " that Mr. McCarthy got the worst ot it. Last evening at 6 o'clock a duel took place near Oakwood cemetery, beyond Blakley's Mill, between Messrs. Morde cai and McCarthy, the seconds (it is said being Messrs. W. B. Tabb, of West Virginia, and John S. Meredith, of this eity, for Mr. CcCartby, and Messrs. W. L. Roy all and Wm. Trigg, of this city, for Mr. Mordecai. Chief of Police, Major Jno. Poe, got wind of the affair just to get there in time to find both the principals stretched on the ground, wounded Mr. Mordecai in the abdomen, and 'Mr.': Carthy in the hip and side. It is said there were two shots fired, but it is difficult, if not impossible to ret the full facts this morning. Drs. Hunter, McGuire and J. S. D. Cullen were on the ground and attended to the wounded combatants, who were not brought to the city till after midnight last night. It was at first thought that Mr. Mordecai's wound was necessarily mortal, but it is said this morning that he may and probably will recover. The ball struck near the navel. Mr. Mordecai is a nephew and law- partner of Col. John B. Young, his home being in Henrico county, about four miles lrom the city, on the Brooke Turnpike. , Mr. McCaithy is well con-. nected here, and is engaged in the to bacco trade, I believe. It was near six o'clock yesterday evening when a telegram irom the be- cond Police Station to the office of the Chief of Police acquainted Maior Poe with the fact that policeman Toler, of the Second District, reported that he had just heard that ft duel was to take pl )-, ut C o oloelc, iaar Tilakley S Mill, the names ot the parties not being given. Jmmediateiv alter a gentleman came into MaiorPoe s othce and told him further in regard to the matter. He at once mounted a horse aud hurried to the scene, but arrived fifteen minutes too late. He at once arrested the tour seconds, who were taken to the Second Police Station, where they were bailed in the sum of $500 each to appear Mon day. As is usual in such cases, the physicians were not arrested, they being privileged persons on all battle-fields on the score ol humanity.' At last ac counts Mr. Mordecai was doing very well. Elm a. The Press Convention. We learn from Goldsboro' that every arrangement has been made for the handsome enter tainment of the Editors of the State, who will assemble in that place cn Wed nesday for the holding of a State Con vention. Dr. Wright, of the Humphrey House, will entertain the " press gang " while in the city, a ball will be given complimentary to them on Wednesday night, and on Thursday evening an ex cursion will be giyen over the Atlantic road to Beaufort,' the hospitalities of the Ocean nouse having been tendered dur ing the stay at that place ; the party td return on Saturday morning. All of our quill brethren attending may ex pect a good time, and we hope the meeting will be highly beneficial in a business point of view.

A dispatch to the New York Tribune says that dur ing the past lew days, a member of the Cabinet has said the President has be come thoroughly in earnest in regard to Louisiana affairs, and that the difficul ties in that State would speedily be brought to aclose; that he had returned witha full determination of taking some decisive action ; that his adhesion to the Kellogg assumption is more marked than ever, and he will go to any lenath, and use authomy to sustain it. On SaturJay evening the President had a long consultation with General Sherman, Attorney General Williams o n i Sppretarv Robeson, at which the New Orleans trouble was thoroughly discussed, and high-handed measures were suggested, to which the President attentively listened, and which win hlw hft carried out this week.

It is said that , v.. ia thp. rrorer ludcre to determine whether there is a condition of society rpnnirinj? the interference of the army txxkA tkut juir aid hominM rPQUire WOUld be promptly furnished so far as the Prpsident is concerned It is not the intention to 'take any energetic action until this requisition is made by Kellogg, and it is hoped he will make a demand without further delay.
