Dr. IL was acting as the sec nd of Dr. J , ai d not being verstd in the duell , iohi d to be advised by me: First, whether bdng the broiher-in-!aw ot Dr. J., he could, consistently with the requirements of the code, serve as his second. I told him there was certain ly no obj c'ion to his serving. Par ticularly so ii tui otne. siae aia not object, He repl.ed that they had thus far oflered no objectiou. He then slated secondly, thit his principal had mlorined nun tnat lie intended to thiow awMV his tire: aud , he wi -hd to know if ould be riht, with su-m uiformat' n. to aocompa- y bim to the field. 1 answered tuat tins was entire ly wuhin us discretion. I was informed that the parlies had boen intira ite personal friends, aad that their present attitude trew out of th charge of au improp r intimacy be- ween Dr. J. and the wife oi the chal- lip '.er. I was al-o mfoimad thar Dr. J.haisetled up his affti' s iu North Carolina, aud if he survived the duel it was his intention to proceed directly to New Orleans and lix himself there in the i rattice of his profession. I was further consulted as to tho con dition of the meeting, and suggested tbe j lac;ng of the parties at twelve pace i, bick to back, aud that they wh?el and fire; the werds to be : "Are you ready ? firt : one, two, three; hah!'' neither party to commence wheeling until the word "tire,' nor to fire after the woid "halt.'"

I obtained per mission from the coroner to remove the body, and delivering it into the custody of the undertaker it was taken to Washington. . The trial of Mr. J. and bis party be fore the coroner was pioceeding at the time of my arrival. 1 f und th?m gieall embarrassed by tho sitaa'ion, and exeittng my p rsonal influence in ih. ir behaif, succet d d in having Mr. J. discharged on bail, myself becoming his security, to appear arthe next term of t. ie court at Upper Marlboro, Prinze G.org: coai.ty, Maryland. Tbe eecond a -d ou.ge n wero discharged without bad. When the court met (some two ruouttiS alterward) it was necessity for me to attend. I accompanied Mr. XT and during our drive to Uoppr Marl boro (sixteen miles fioin W"sluogton) a remarked to me that bis friends were persuidiLg him to taka back h s wife, whcmr on the cisccv'ry of her utllv btha v i jr w it h Dr . J . , fie had sei t o hi r fat he , and he ask d me what I .thought he ou-hc to d . He stated that ha hf.d a large family of young children, that he was greatly attach d to his father-in-law, who was one ot he most no'ole aud cbivalrc of ge .tie- tar n, and whose Leart w as Deariy bto ken by the disgrace of his daughter and its fa'al c nsiq'iences, ar.d from these considerations ha was inclined to ac cept the advice of his mends, if he could do it with honor. I had previously heaid the unfortu nate woman described as a person rer maikably quiet, refined and ladylike, and that her fall was generally attribu ted to tbe peculiar advantages afforded her 6educer from his jr jfes.-ional rela tions with her, and his set king tha op portutity of her ruin in an hour of weaknt ss Under all the circumstances, I did not hesitate to advise that, if Mr. J 's feelugs justified the act, to d sie gard any ceusure of the world aod re s ore his wife ;o himself and, their chil. d.en. The grand jury ignored the in dictment, aud on his return home that of h:s wile followed. 1 hus ended, without undue notoriety or the !e.-s; excitement to the commu nity, one of those crses where the feel ings of a gentleman son etimes render it neci sary to resort to the duello. How different is such a mode of set tling such d ftiouhies from that wh'ch occurred on ths streets of Washington, wuhin a few iods of the Pi evidential Mansion, some thirteen years thereaf ter, when a i unarmed and accomplish ed gentleman, io such a bupposid pro vrcation, Wis assassinated in the most das'ardly niauuti :' iu episode of a very sad and extra- oidinary nam e is connected with this duel.
