TUESDAY OCTOBER Ilk 1849.
- CONOltfDED FROM tftlisT fAIS,, v
posing chiefs of the different factions du
ring thatBtinguinary era would stagger le-'
lief. A faint idea of this barbarous state of
things may b conceived from the aston
idh,iug fact that Arkansas has never to this
day had a senator or representative inHhe"
councils of the nation, who has not once,
if nomorc, periled his hfo on the so-crtUeil
field of honor." Uonorablo diuds, howev
er, formed scarcely "a tithing- of the combat

cfee took a hand In nil, and yet escnped
from each 1 without a sear, till lus vrry
name grew Jo bo n iliing of terror, at the
6ound of which even brave men trembled. I
And thus ho had reached the summit of!
his new, false, and at last fatal ambition.
As a '-famous tighter," ho was universally
acknowledged to be without an equal and
without a second, and that, too, in ,a coun
try abounding with bold spirits from every
quarter of the Union. The Hectors, the
Peshas, Wilson, Conway tho most rcdou
tnble heroes dreaded him. Fent Noland
hirrftclf feared" the glare of his ferocious
blue eye.
It would have been a curious inquiry to
analyze the motives and feelings of Ihe
terriblo duellia of this period. He does
not seem'to have been actuated by sheer
and absolute cruelty. He. did not wield
tu bowie-kuifa lor the sake of inflicting
riafal1? it was only the sharp instrument
with which -he qlcayciytf!! way t(jjiot6rie
ty. H fought, not so much to avenge iiu
suits m to achieve pejplttlariiy To excel,
;Mceai, culminate, iprfild the goaiof all his
thoughts and wishes ; and to do Ihisvin his
jesqritpherftut a 'single path-lay open ;
the path marked by fire and blood. He
lived only in a sort of ecslatac dream of
bravery a dream orcrflowmg-tvith the
consciousness of .surpassing pbwer the
power to make aHeyes"qimil and all henrts
tremble - .

He was knonteafeveral occasions, with
out .uttering a word, to approach and spit

flit tail 1w,cauttc ef quarrel, and fycthe

-Would cut a man open with his Bowie-knife
in the morning, and, if called on,
sew hirjMtp with his needle in the evening.
Ho reati2ed 'a handsome" fortune by his
professional exertions, and deservedly too,
lor he was skilful and nttentivedoctor
la perilous cases ho was sublime, for his
bravery urged him always to take the res
ponsibility of a lofty danngn the prompti
tude and power of bis remedies.
The; proverb says, "There must be an
end to everything," and an end came at
last to the reign of "The Fighting Doctor,"
as he was christened in blood throughout
Arkansas. He had- a neighbor named
Phillips, a peaceful, inoffensive man, who
had never previously been engaged in a
difficulty; with any human. being, and hence
art that region was generally deemed a cow
ard. From some cause which neve, pub
licly transpired, feelings of hostility urose
between the two., and Menefee sought an
early opportunity to cowhide the other in
the streets of Lewigbnrg, Phillips bore his
chastisement without so much as an effort
of resistance. Indeed, at the moment he
had no other alternative, for he was alto
gether unarmed, while his enemy held a
Denugcr ocked at his breast.
Immediately afterwards, however, Phil
lips went and literally loaded himself with
murderous weapons, and returned to face
his foe on raof equal terms. They en
countered blithe public equa're while court
was in session, and never did the - sun of
' heaven thine on a more obstinate combat.
The first of all 6red two rounds with jis
CtoIs, and, at the second, round Phillips was
woun4ed in the loins But this, instead of
cWclrfng his furious ardor, only tended to
inflame and madden him Iha PWro. He
unsheathed his knife and bounded upon
hit enemy, who received his thrusts with a
like deadly Wade.. With clenched teeth,
foam on their livid hps, panting chests, and
blazing ejes, they (ought like maniacs, till
both were bathed in, sweat and blood ' At
length Phillips ventured on a desperate
manoerre. He dropped bis own knifo, and
miring the naked blade of ( his antagonist,
snapped it in two by main strength, culling
at the tamo time his own fingers to the
bone (''J"H tfxjn drew from benoa h his
vest another knife, ahdlnadc a fierce plunge
at Menefea's heart but Menefee, In 'turn,
caught the sharp blade in his hands and
orpice otr the point wnen, Jo I , .rhuJips
produced a third IJowie-koifc, much larger
than the others, and plunged it up to the
hilt in his enemy's side, wno fell to rise no
more.' "Menefee, as 'he lay 'on the gory
ground lob6ed"upin tbe'ticWfe face with a
swett smite) and gast&d, iri a dying voice.

you have kdled The Fwatwc Doctou."

his rest was exceedingly short and so were
bis pantaloons at both ends, exhibiting be

'edfre of the former, a broad streak of red
flannel shirt ; his stumpy hands wero stuck
in his pockets, and his little eyes which

IIISIOUX LANDS,
riovcrnor Chambers passed through St.
Louis a Ipw days since, on his way to
Mincs(ola, where he is to join Governor
Ramsey in the treaty arrangements with
the Sidtilrjdiaifs, for twenty million acres
of .lands owned by the latter, north of the
SLlHoters.!. The Government at Washing
ton seems tb(have anticipated ihd views of
tjovynor liamsey, 01 Minesota, who, in
his late message to the Legislature of that
Territory, says :
" Next in importance towards facilitating
the settlement of the Territory, I would
rank the purchase, of the Sieux Indian
country west of the Mississippi river, from
the Iowa line north of tho Watab river,
which is the south boundary of the Win
nebago country adding as the wesierr.
boundary of such a purchase aline down
due south, from the lake at the head of
Long Prairie river. This extensive, rich
and salubrious region would open- new in
ducements for the enterprise of our country
men j for it is considered equal in soil to
any portion of the Mississippi, nnd in
hcalthfulness it is probably superior to any
pan 01 ie American continent. -It is
known to be rich in mineral as in soil ; is
sufficiently timbered, being traversed by a
hundred milee, on its western border by n
hard wood forest some forty miles in width;
is watered by some of the finest rivera of
the northwest, such as the Minesota or St.
Peters, the Blue Earth,' the Osakis.tlie
Root river, and others ; and is bespangled
with beautiful lakes in everjr direction
To the eye of the observer it presents a
charming mingling of high rolling prairies
and gentle slopes,-wooded hill tops, luxuri
ant natural meadows, and an abundance
of,lhe purest water ; and I feel a conviction
ihat this country once thrown open to set
tlement, would be peopled with a rapidity
eiceeding any thing in theTiistory of wes
tern colonization. 1 would thereto e press
strongly upon the Legislative Assembly
the expediency of memorializing Congress
upon the subject." -

Professor Meacham, the Whig candidate
fur Congress in the 3d District, Vermont,
at a mqeting in Burlington "
