Tliore has been an " affair of honor between Mr. Johnt HrMA.v, editor of the Asheville Spccla or, and Dr. Wm. L. Hilltabd. of Asheville. The parties met, after several interruptions from the legal authorities, two miles from Asheville, and after the first fire, without injury to either of the parties, the affair was settled. We refer to this matter , chiefly to notice and copy the sentiments of the Editor regarding the challenge, as expressed in bis account of the trans action, as follows : - I confess, that from high moral considerations, I did not want to accept it, and yet, under the circumstances, could not command sufficient mor al couras4 to refuse ; for however public opinion may repudiate the custom of duelling, it visits willi ridicule, scorn; and the imputation of cow ardice, alt who, being challenged, refuse to fight. And again be says, In tbe same document : A combination of circumstances has forced me to ensaso in an affair which my very soul abhors In so doing, 1 have violated the law, disregarded the teachings of morality, and the precepts of a holy religion. But I must abide the verdict of a generous and magnanimous public, and at their hands I humbly hope, as I verily believe, that 1 tvill not be visited with heavier censnre than I deserve. .. - ' From the sentiments expressed by Mr. Hvman, tbe words of tbe parties in a school dialogue on duclliug, are strictly applicable : ' ' Williams-" It we now refuse to fight the world "will call us both cowards, and who can endure lfcnry.,rVf&tt Afraid to bear, for a few " days, the scoffs and sneers of knaves and fools 1 " How wmIi you dare to meet yoar final Judge ! " To be tried by Him before assembled worlds " and then condemned to everlasting wo !" V?e" do not refer to this matter with a view to fay anything reproachful towards Mr. Hymax . So far as the " code of honor " is concerned, we are satisfied that his deportment was correct- But we wish to express an opiuion in this case, that may possibly have some effect on others in future transactions of the sort. Our opinion is thai a Christian is the last person in the world Viio can hope to escape death, or disaster in a duel. ' H'AMiLTOH was killed in a duel ; he was a christian while bis opponent was an atheist practically so, at least. Cilley was & christian and was killed, while bis opponent was not a pro fessor, we believe. When a christian fights, bis moral position must be correct, else be bas thrown off the only protecting power in which be can trust. . :: r; THE JOURNAL.

In a short article headed "a mother in search : f light," in another column, tbe Inquiry is rais ed as to how much a man must steal, or defraud, which is the same thing,' in order to save him from exposure and public prosecution. There is not so ranch absurdity in this inquiry as may ap pear at first blusb.

' ' The language of many of the northern papers in reference to tbe slave case of Mr. Wheeler, par takes of the triumpkant spirit of tbe successful bucanneer, and! the editor oT the New York Times talks like a very gambling snob, who chuckles over the success of his trickery and fraud. We give our readers a specimen : .. ' , --" .-""--". v ''Information is wanted of Jane, Dayid, and Isaac, three persons owing service to John H. Wbeeleb, of Virginia, American Envoy to Central America. The three are supposed to be in this city. A week ago thtey were in the full enjoyment of all the patriarchal advantages of servitude and, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, in spite of their teeth, they were wrested from the very arms so to speak, ol an indulgent master, and amid severe but fruitless straggles, baptised into the chilly experience of freedom, and other prerogatives attending the earning and eating their own bread and butter. Their freedom was as involuntary as their servitude They were probably unfamiliar with classic letters, and did not know that "Who would be free themselves must strike the blow." It was Mr. Passmore (Qu. Pass-'em-oV.r ?) Williamson who struck it for them, not without some resistance on their part; but once at liberty they seem to find it so genial and kindly, that Mr. Wheeler may wait in vain at Philadelphia in the hope of whistling or bird liming tbem back. Fugitives from freedom m n mnch rarer than fugitives from Slavery, that no act of Congress seems necessary for their capture and restoration. Passing orer the insulting sneers and contemp tuous ridicule wilh which the editor is disused to treat a sou tbem gentleman, we come to the tx ccllent hgic of speaking of freedom amidst strug gles fo prevent it, and the involuntary striking for freedom ; a Very droll sentiment, inculcated in the extract above. The Editor continues : For some days we have waited in the hope of reasoning ourselves into some sympathy for Mr Wb-eler. His case is a bard one, we have argned at least, in one poiut of View. There were pro bably three or four thousand dollais' wonh of mouIs and bodies, wholly his property, and Which he dcfiiid to carry vh him to the I.-tiiniU where voluntary service is costly, and official sal aries minute. How much cheaper it would be for Mr. VVhwier to be served riuitonslyi How natural to wi.h those about him in a forvien land who have iierhans from chllfHiOod , shared his bread and his shelter 1 and. it is not impossible his very blood. What state and weight it might lend to bis mission to hare It attcmli d by a train of blavcs. What danger in leaving behind him property so liablo to lavish itself in the purchase of snpe-fluons freedom. Mr. Wheeler exposed himself to all the perils of a transit over free noil in order to have the dignity and comfort of his little colorvd escort. Thus muvb oisy be eaid for him. Per contra, there is much may be said apainat him. Mr. Wheeler may be presumed to know that slaves voluntarily brought tn the Free Stt'9 have been pronounced free. The Lrmmnn case cannot have escaped his notice. Admitting ihe remote iiossibilitv of that case beibg so adjudica ted as to enable clave owners tn transitu to cu ry their live ttock over our soil, nucb is not now the law; and, unless covetous of an opportunity to test :be question iersonally, the Envoy exposed himself for the slightest possible gain, namely, the saving of the wages of thrwe servant for a ytar or two. to peril of a very considerable los namely, the loss of their services for life. The venture, bav hp tnrned out badly for him. hi left him no 'light to complain. There is no book about it on which to bang sympathy. Following this tirade of insult and satire, i I reference to the non existence of slavery in Cen tral America : and while the Editor admits that no notice would be taken or his bringfug bin rlav a there, on account of the weakness of the State, yet ha intimates that Mr. Wheeler would not have ventured to take them to the Court of St. James. : Whether any of onr Ministers wonld take slaves as servants to any European Court, we are not prepared to say; bnt if they were to do so, there would be no aggression and robbery like that per petrated and boasted of in the lily of Philadel phia; for if inch a thing were attempted, all par ties well know that the foreign powers wonld be come responsible to our government for tbe insult to our Minister and his family. But it is different in onr sister sovereign State of Pennsylvania ; for nnder the auspices of the Union, she can plunder and assault our Minister and his retinne. through the most vile instruments, and be account able to no one. And such transactions by such vulgar and blackguard agencies, are lauded and append ed by Editors ranking high in the profession and wielding the greatest influence in the community and sanctioned by the non-interference of offi cials and the quietude of tbe masses. It is not because the Times talks in the wsy ex hibited above, that we draw attention to this mat ter; but because the Times speaks tbe language and exhibits the feelings of tbe controlling major ities in the Free States. What do our citizens think of the matter 1 Are yon content to continue in political brotherhood with people who extend less comity and exhibit less respect, and show a barsber feeling of hatred towards us, than would tbe savages of any region 1 No ; content we cannot be. But is a continuance of tbe TJnSoh possible nnder sncb circumstances t Is it not enohgh that a southern wife must see ber husband assaulted and ber servants torn from be r, while be is in tbe service of the Union and obeying the orders xf bis government? Ob, no; to this must be added the language of mockery and scorn pot only to the family of onr fellow citizen of North Carolina, bnt to himself as Min ister of this great Republic to a foreign power I No phase of society ever exhibited a hatred of deeper malignity, a scorn of more consummate malice, a disregard of social comity aud courtesy more intense, than do this and other transaction of ample record within the last 8 or 10 years, to wards tbe people of tbe south ; fnvolviog their honor and interests as men , and their rights as citizens under the Constitntioo. Do our good neighbors believe " there is no danger of tbe Union " nnder this state of affairs 1 Let os think of it Fellow-citizens, "'do 'you sup pose tbe Union ought to continue, unless there is a change in this state of afiVira. Don't talk to us about the glorioua-i Union " the " halos," the " tars," the " revolutionary fathers," aod other matters that once excited the feelings of patriot ism and enkindled a pare political devotion in all onr hearts. And please don't mention the Fede ral Constitution in this category because, for all practical purposes," it teas and is not but think soberly and calmly of the facts that are daily pre bented to us and then decide whether you can look with the most complacency on tie prospect before vs, in the Union or out of it nnless there is a change, we say, and tbat right early. Without speedy, radical reform at the North. in regard to these matters, the universal cry with in all the Sorttbern borders will soon be, To your tents, ok Israel F And the South will wash ber hands of the iniquity that brougbt about tbe peril and the dissolution of the Union. : RATTLESNAKES IN OREGON. , These- venomous reptiles seem to abound in Southern Oregon.

' SERIOUS ACCIDENT. Raleigh, N. C, July 28. A boy of between 8 and 10 years of age, the son of Dr. F. J. Haywood of this city, was accidentally shot with a pistol, in the bands of another boy, on Thursday last. We learn, that the ball took effect in his breast, and is thought to have lodged in his lungs ; it bas not yet, been extracted, and the wound is, therefore, considered dangerous. This is a sad affir, and no doubt weighs heavily upon the parents of the child. Any boy seen With a loaded pistol, if not reprimanded by his parents, ought to be taken up and severely flogged, and have his pistol taken from him. We have been astonished at the inat tention of parents in regard to their children car rying fire-arms, aud are also astonished that more accidents do not occur. Post. FREAK OF LIGHTNING. We saw a gentleman a few days ago, who had been struck by lightning, and the marks of its violence were visible on his person. The shaft struck a tree four hundred yards off, passed hori zontally to the corner .of the bouse against which he was leaning, leaped from a nail to his shoul der, and tearing coat and shirt, burnt the skin considerably. It then passed spirally down, infla ming the surface as it went, and leaping from tbe knees to tbe foot, tore off the shoe. The gentle man fell down, paralyzed but conscious, aud was restored by cold water and frictions. lb. FROM KANSAS.

The unknown female who died at the Central watch station on Thurs day evening, was recognized by her mother yes terday hlrtrning. Her narrie was Henrietta Guest. She resided with tier niijfcjyr, Mrs. Myer, a widow lady, in Camden street, between Eutaw and Paca. She left home on Thursday afternoon to collect some money to pay her rent, Mnd bad not been beard from by her mother until yesterday mor ning. The immediate cause of bet- death is not known it is conjectured that it was disease of the heart. She leaves a husband and four children, bnt it was stated that she had been sadly neglect ed by him to whom she should have kralied for support. Clipper. DIED FROM THE HEAT. . A noble horse attached to one of the Old Line omni busses, fell exhausted by the intense heat of yesterday, at the corner of Baltimore and Green streets, and died in a short time. During tlio day, in almost every street, could be seen carts, wag ons, &c, from which some poor horse had been Liken in an almost exhausted condition in most cases. Drivers should be extremely careful of this most invaluable animal during the preva lence of this intense warm weather. Better to lose a few !oads than to lose a good horse. lb. ACCIDENT. Yestefday morning, abouteight o'clock, as a young man was crossing the river in a row boat, by a collision of the steamer Lancaster and a fer ry boat, he was caught between them and horri bly mutilated, his breast being crushed c mplete ly in, and all bis ribs broken. An inquest was held by Coroner Cunningham, who rendered a verdict of accidental death. Deceased w as about 20 years of age, and employed . as an apprentice in Reeder's foundry. lb. i"" MILLET. We hear some ot onr fellow townsmen contin ually complaining of the cost of keeping cows. As an invaluable summer grass, we can commend to them planting a few rows of Millet. We have five rows, about twenty five feet in length, plan ted in March, frotn which, for two or three weeks, we have been feeding a cow and calf giving to each as much as they could consume, By keeping it well cut down, thus preventing it from going to, seed, we expect St to Inst until fall; when a small piece planted in rutabagas aud Silecian beets, will supply them uutil the early part of spring, and if a little rye be sown In the fall, to come in'when the latter are exhausted, a c w may be fed the whole year round at little or no cost. By adopting this plan we think a cow may be kept up and fed, at very little cost, wben the great saving of manure is taken into consider ation, be always in better condition Hud give bet ter flavored mjlk.

A supposed diamond of extraordinary size hits recently been found in Lancaster county, Pa., and is deposited in Professor Phillips' office, Phila delphia It is colorless, and perfectly Crystalline, resembling a drop of dear spring water, in the middle of which you will perceive a strong light, playing with a good deal of spirit.
