' The lowu of Doniphan, in Kansas, was thrown into a state of excitement on theCih inst., in consequence of a fra cas between Capt. John R. Boyd, for merly of South Carolina, and ' Captain Mitchell, one ot Gen. Lane's aids. The Jatter, it appears, took exception to a portion of an oration delivered on the 4th by the former, and sent him a chal lenge , to fight a duel with muskets at loity paces. The challenge was ac cepted, the patties, met, and were about to fire when the "civil officers . arrested them.: A letter says: Whilst the attention of the pro-slavery party was directed .to the affair be twceu ihe hclligerijuts, tlx free-soilers took thirty-seven of their mu kets from a log house not Celov the hotel, and carried them " to a freersoil boarding house beyond Gen. Lane's mill. 'A soon as this fact became known, the pro slavery party sent a committee to demand a restoration of the guns. -The free-soilers refused to give them up. The pro-slavery party tol i them they would give them until two o'clock next day to return t' cm, 'and if they were not then returned, they would come find take them. Hunncrs were then sent out to the countr by both parlies for reinforce ments, and small squads came flocking in Irom all quarters thoroughly prepared for battle. Nisht came on, sqtlads still continuing to come in. The storm " of war was lowering and portentous. Gen. "Whitfield deemed it proper to send an express to Gcv. Walker, informing him of the condition of things, and to send the records of the land office to Fort Leavenworth for safe keeping. Just at dark the free State party agreed to bring their muskets to Capt. Dunning, and were soon stackrng them in front of the hotel. The leaders of both parties theu promised to observe the peace. It was half past nine -o'clock when there was a general dispersion, and quiet was again restored. The r 3ht before,, not a citizen of Doniphan had slept an hour. Gen. Lane boas ted, after the trouble was over, that on the hill above his mill he had counted, ot uis lorccs,' &() able bodied men at t'i o'clock the night befofe, and that he could have GOO that night if necessary. Gen. Edge, late of Maryland, took an active part in restoring peace. Capt. Mitchell is the same man that Titus f-'jed when a prisoner at Lecompton. 2 fa 13 a carpenter by trade, and went to, Kansas from Covington, Ky. The free-soilers, it appears, refused to join wii.i the pro-slavery men of Doniphan fx the celebration of the 4th. Capt Boyd, in his oration, , referred to this fact, and this is what offended Captain Mitchell. ' - PRETTY. GOOD.

REMEDY FOB THE CHINCH BUG. v , We published recently a note from the Hou. - Abram'Rencherj stating that fish oil had been found an excellent remedy for the chinch, buj nov des troying the corn. Mr. Rencher has ad dressed s another note on the subject in - which he says he has' found . the remedy entirely successful, but that some of his neighbors complain that it Kins their corn. So it does his corn, says Mr. R. if applied in too large a quantity. He says, "take a feather from the wing of a chicken or goose, ; clip off a. email piece oi uie mue ena, aip me feathery part in oil, and run it down between the boot and the stalk of the two lower blades, wipe off the oil re maining on the feather on the outside of the stalk near the ground. The .oi kills the bugs it touches." and the bat anee diaappear.1' . Mr- Rencher add , T have just returned from my cornfield wnicn Doraerea on my wneat neia lor two hundred yards, and where the chinch bug appeared in great force.- Their ravages were arrested by the ap plication of the oil, and the corn looks as well at this time as if there never had been a bug upon it. However un successful others may bo in the aDnlica tiou of fish oil,' I consider myself indebt ed to it for the safety of my cornfield. I write this from fear that some persons may be discouraged by an improper ap pucauon ci me on. Raleigh Standard. WHAT IS TRUE HEROISM ? ; It is a radically false notion to look only to war for heroism. The truest courage, perhaps, is that which fights .me uiiuiu ui me uuuer a u verse circum stances day by day, month by month. and year by year. ra:her' than ! that which rushes to the assault, or defends tne"jmment Dreach." And of such he roism modern times is full. Philadelphia Ledger. Nothing could be more true. The hodcarrier who supports a family oi eight children and two dogs on a dol lar a day. and does it willmelv. ! dis plays more true heroism than is re quired to effect a conquest on abattle- fie.d. Geu: : Bullion will face a batterv wiuioui Diancninsr. Astc uuition to face an unpaid cteditor four times a week, as Trowell the bricklayer does, arid uuiiion would crow low-spinfed and take to arsenic in a , fortnight. The heroism of the battle-field is kept up by ine uass arums, clarinets and praise irom ttie newspapers. Such heroism may, or may not, be a matter of princi pie; out mere is no questioning the oro saic duties of life the bringing up of a family by shedding perspiration at the rate oj nlteen cents an hour. Albany Knitkerhokker THE TVVoTl ISE RS. A miser livinor in Kufa had heard that in Bassora also there dwelt a miser more miserly than hirriself. to whom he might go to school and from whom he mialit learn much.- He forthwith ionr nled thither and presented himself to the great master, as an humble co'mmencer in the art of avarice, and anxious to leatn, and under him to become a stu dent.- . 1 Welcome, said (he miser of Basso ra, we will go to the- market to make some purchases.' I hey went to the baker. Hast thou good bread ?' 4 Good, indeed, mv masters, and fresh ano sott as muter.' -.. 'Mark this.- friend' said the man of Bassora to the one of Kufa : butter is compared wan oread as being the bet ter oi the two i as we can consume on Iy a small quantity of that,- it will also te cheaper and we shall therefore act more wjsely and savingly, too in being satisfied with butter.' .. - They then Went to the bntfr rnVr- cnant, and asked if he had good but ier. - - .-. 'Good, indeed and as satbry and as fresh as the finest olive 'oil was the an swer. . - 'Mark this, also said the host to his guest, oil is compared r with the best butter, and, therefore, by much ought to De preierrea to tne latter. ' , -Theyj next went to the oil vender. Have yon good oil 7 - ; -' The very best quality ; white and assure as water was the reply. 'Mark that, too said the miser of tiassora to the one of Kufa, by this rule water is the very best. Now, at home, I have a pail full, and most hos pitably therewith will I entertain you.' And, on their return, nothing but wa ter did he place before his guest, be cause they had learned that water was better than oil, oil better: than Gutter, butter better than bread. : . ' God be praised said the miser of Kufa ; I have npl journeyed this long distance in vain.' , ? ... A WIEE AND A FORTUNE. The Palmer (Mass.)

T . J T- . . , , . . . PROF.' MITCHELL. The New Haven Palladium furnishes the following biographical notice of the late Prof. Mitchell, of North Carolina : "Prof. Mitchell was a graduate of Yale college of the class of 1813. lio was among the most distinguised members of nia class, tor talents and scbolarshipr.anq was highly esteemed for his moral and . so cial qualities. He was tutor from 1816 to 1818, when 'he- was elected - professor in tee University of Worth Carolina, which oidcb ne nas peia tor nearly fony years. greatly respected and beloved; -He was a native of Washington in this 8tates and married the daughter of the lat- Dr. North of New London, and sister of Dr. North, late teacner ot Elocution m Yale Uollege. The venerable mother of Mrs. Mitchell re sids"m this city, and will, do doubt, re ceive the deep sympathies of her mends under this sore bereavement Professor Mitchell's nge tfas about six ty-five."
