Is Duelling Really Barbarous I We have deoidod to say a few words on thin subject, whioh seems lately to have occupied so much, of the time of the courts. We confess that we feel sincere regret that the framera of our new Constitution saw fit to make suoh stringent regulations against what, in derisioD, our lattar day-reformers are pleased to sneer at as the "Code of Hon or " It was a sad thing tobe overcome in battle and forced to surrender our arms to the conqueror, but a sadder dajswaita us when we Bhull allow the customs of our enemies to be engrafted oo our so ciety, causing the civilization which was ones our pride and boast, to give way to their so called higher civiliza tion. The civilization that will make wav upon gaming at Faro Bank and Rou lette, but holds in high esteem ths rascal who successfully robs a corporation or ruins tho unsophisticated by stock gam bling and futures. The civilization that argues that female virtue that can be seduced is not worth protecting. A. civ ilization that counsels a man when he is accused of lying to accuse back again and thus geta even. The civilization that laughs at honor and scoffs at family pride. For our part we prefer tit)so ciety of former days. A society *bere no man could rise who lacked integrity. Where men hud to pay that homage to truth which made them "assumo a vir tue if they had it not." A society where a promptness to repel aggression was accompanied by a cor responding sensitiveness to tho rights of others. In short, a society where the code of honor was fully recognized as the rule among gentleraeu to be rcsortep to for the defence of character and repu tation. Until men become better Chris tians, until the time shall come when ail will love one anether too well to in fringe upon eahh olViers?rT)(htB7 the code of honor must exist in all high tooel and well regulated anoiety. We contend that it is a Christian code, and just as defensible and justifiable as war. We contend that a chrutian minister is fully ns much justified in defending his honor utider the code as he would be in accept - ing the captaincy of a Company to fight the enctuies ol his country. We would not fight a duel, unless the affront was of such a grave character as to rest under it would destroy our usefuluess to society and the good name we desire to leave our children The Code of Honor strictly adhered to never allows a fatal termination to a quarrel, unleis under circumstances when such bad blood hss been aroused as would otherwise termin ate in a street fight, thus endangering the lives of others aud involving the frionds and relatives in a long aad bleody vendetta, it fs ignorance of th > Code whioh make* men ridicule it. We can demonstrate that there is scarcely a single instance to be referred to where a duel has terminated futully where ev en such a result was not tho lest for society tinder the imperfections of out human:ty. We do not allado. to ca bos where the code has been violate 1 ' and death of one or both parties baa been the ios ilt. We assert that when the Code is fully recognized and strictly adhered to, there are very few quarrels that arise among gentlemen that ca t - not bo settled by it. We like the code because it keeps us out of difficulties with blackguards, and we know full well that will settle any trouble or misunderstanding that may occur with gentlemen. In other words, we like it because it keeps ns out of fights. It is so impartial peace-ma kcr, and therefore we call it a Christian oode. It takes a quarrel out of the hands of those who are offended anl prejudiced sgainst each other, and places it in the management of those who have but one aim, and that is peace. We *.<sort again that the oode, strictly foll owed, will settle nearly all difficulties, and only when it is violi ted do t'.ese unhappy results follow whioh arouse the sympathy of the community for the un I fortunate, and bring down the usual outburst of prejudice against the node. Take for instance, the ease which occur red in Virginia very receutly. Mr. Me Cnrty has somemisnnderstanding wish a much admired young lady. They meet at a ball; they dance together. A few days after a pieee of poetry appears i a the Enquirer. It re read sod discuss ed at the olub Some one remarks that the poetry has s personal allusion- Mr. Mcjrdecji dssonscsf the anther. Mr. M Certy de lares himself the author, but dees not feel called upon to say whether it haa a personal allasion or not. Ha ia ohallengod bj Morde :at. He recognises the Coda and refuses to fight because be dees not admit that, Mr. Mordcoai has any right to assume the quarrel. To admit it, would be to hold himself ready to fight every man in Vir ginia who chose to espouse the lady's causa. Hera ths Coda actually preven ted these high spirited young men fronj> eomioK together. Mordeoai walks into the billiard room and overbears remarks that be assumes are meant for bim.? Instead of a resort to the code and re quiring an explanation, which no doubt would bare been given, and thus settled the tiiifioulty, ha loses his temper and gives MoCarty a severe personal chas tisement. Now matters had reached a point that the code was the most human* mode of settling.?Without a resort to it, a street fight would certainly have followed, and perhaps to dsy the fight would be still going on between tbeir respective Irieods. As it is Mordeoai fails, and the community sympathises snd the matter ends. When the millenium oomes and tho lion lies down with the lamb, then, and not till then will men cease to qusr rel. We ean't legislate sin out of the world but we can legislate away customs which are the result of our fallen nature, and have their places supplied by thuse which are ten times worse. We ean stop dualling to be followed by strict murders. We can shut up tba gambling houses of to day to have their places supplied by "skin shops" to raor row. We can oloae other places where vice does wear the garl of dsoeney, to fill our streets with pitiable spectacles of depravity. Let ministers work and pray for um regeneration, but doa'fc try to legislate for the hearts and conscience* of men. AH such laws arevaiu; and foolish, and the ezperienco of th? pant has settled this faot beyond dispute. We know that we are writing boldly, but we believe we are right nud all we a.-ik is that oar readers will give what we have Written calm and unprejudiced consideration.?Atlanta Herald. Peck's Sowing Much inc. ? A Mr. Peck had long entertained the idea that be could invent a self acting newing machine, and ha did. Ha pro cured a steel ribbon spring about twenty feet long, and ol sufficient power to ruu a horse car. This he rigg.:d on his wife's sawing machine with a lot of clockwork, and it appeared to him, when be finished the job that evening, that he had realis ed his hopes. If any sewing machine aver would go that one would, as he wound it up ready for use in the morn ing, and went to bed. At four o'clock Mrs. Peok aroused him, au l told him to ' listen to the burglars in tho house. He listened and heard a most terrific racket ? in tho sitting-room. It appeared to him that ? there must be a million burglars refreshing themselves with a prize fight. So ho loaded his gun, crept softly over, ! and peeped through a crack in the door. It was not burglars, it was Mrs. Peok's sewing machine. The {peg had slipped out and that spring was having full play. It would rear the machine up on I one end snd charge it three or four times like a battering-ram against the glass front of tho book case; then it would .wheel around and suddenly tear across the room,' butt up against the mantelpiece, and it would lie dowu and roll over the floor, and hammer the sofa, tear Hp the carpet, and boost the center table and try and jean a hole through the wall, and than endeavor to leap up on >*ho chandelier. Then as Peek entered the room, it flaw at him, and tore in and out between his legs, the wheel revolving like lightning all the time, and ths spring gradually unwind ing. And then Peck retreated and the family all got up and got a mattress off the bad, with which they covered the cacbioe, and sat on it for a while, bat finally pushed it ontof the window into the yard, where Peck piled bo job snd sah- bsrreis and slop buckets and feneo palings and wagon ? wheels on to it to keep it still. Bat all night under ths I hasp it kept np a continual bass sad snort and booty .-o that one of Mr Bird sail's boarders ? fired at it sixteen times with ths impression that it was eats.

Marriage Id Judge Cooked Court. * As it Should Be" shall be the title of our next novel, and we shall weave the troubles, the fortunes and the afflic tions of Cornelius Arnold and Sarah Samuels i&to ths woof of onr story. We all kuow the misery and wretchedness occasioned by untimely and improper marriagep, end the too solicitous eare of parents; but a father's "phiz" inoppor tunely thrust in upon the scene of our pleasures and joys inspires a degree of recklessuesa productive of the worst consequences. The truth of the matter is, "papa" has no business snuffing about for some token of a daughter's disobe dience, and, if he should get knocked down occasionally, he would learn a little caution, if not a proper sense of propriety. Stephen Samuels had a daughter, a lovely girl, in whom he confided, and rrhom he loved with all a father's devo tion. He had oared for her, and trusted that in the evening of life she, at least, would be left him to smooth his passage to the grave. But, alas ! love Is more powerful than a father's counsel, and Cornelius Arnold' rose before Sarah Samuels' enraptured imagination?the beau ideal of all that was beautiful, lovely and ef good report. Stephen Samuels' mature charms sank into insignificance when compared with the bliss of Cornelius Arnold's companion ship and the fruition of his love. Trust ing in the strength of Cornelius Arnold's attachment, and reelining upon his powerful arm, Sarah bade farewell to her old home, wich all it* sacred and ' endearing associations, and conscious of, tho devotion that supported her through all the critical period of love and oourt ship, aha sailed out upon an untried stream, "heart within, and God over head." Tho course of true Ieve never runs smoothly, and the affection that a fath er's counsel and advice could not eon trot was about' to be rebuked by the dread thunders of the law. Stephen Samuels no longer rested upon fats ovo | resources ; but summoning the dignity and p?<wer of tho State of South Caroli-. ua to his aid, relentlessly pursued the disturber of his domestic peace and tranquillity. The dogs of war were loosed, end in the end Cornelius Araoli stood; before the Court of Sessions for Abbeville county, indicted for the high crimo and misdemeanor of "abducting a woman child." Hero the matter rested for somctim*. Learned lawyers whetted the edged tools they are accustomed to use in the foren j sie aren* and prepared for the contest of the people's rights against the encroach ments of a disturber of society. The Judge looked wise, and began deliberat ing in his owu mind the penalty he would inflict should Cornelius Arnold be proven guilty ef the high crime with which he stood charged. Loafers, busy bodies and reporters thronged tho corri dors of ths tempi* of justice, deecaotiug , upon the probuble issue of the case, and aehing for a glimpse of the cause of so much gossip. At last all were gratified The bustle of preparation became appa rent, and the Judge announced "The State vs. Cornelius Arnold." Col. Thomas Thomson, who represent-. ed the prisoner, rose and insinuatingly suggested to the Court that the case be noL protttdi that he had ths thing dead, and, to avoid increasing the expenses attached to litigation, had, prevailed up on Stephen Samuels, the father, to allow the marriage of Sarah Samuels, the I daughter, to Cornelius Arnold, tho pil \ ferer, and recommended that bis Honor aet the p?rt of master of eeremonies. The Court was taken aback by this un expected turn of things, and on Corne lius and Sarah plighting their troth, and Stephan giving his consent, Cornelius and Sajrah took their ?Und at the bar and were made one flesh. The remarks ol j his .Honor were well timed and appro priate?the only thing lacking, in our I opinion, being a prayer for God's bless ing up..a the happy couple. The closing I seutenee of tho Judge's charge to the married pair was full of good advice, and with "Go and sie no more" ringing in their ears, Cornelias Arnold and Sarah Samuels wander down the cool, sequee tersd vale of life, ons In aim and one in sympathy. Happy WJa^aSSSioS tft their dearest hopes and Stto^gest aaptra tions! ft** "Male be your b?art. bale bs your fiddlv, Loot mar your albwok jlak a&4 diddle. Aye! oluery through this weary riddle OfwerUy eere, Untii your bairns' bairns kindly cuddle Your auid grey hair*." This incident of on? court, as we hare tersely and simply related it, poasesiaa the beauty of truth and the fascination of romance. Occurring as it did in the midst of a dull routine of legal proce dure, it stsnds unparalleled in the his tory of marriages in South Carolina. It was so interesting and novel episode, and served to quicken the wits and brighten the genius of the gentlemen of the Bar. Colonel Thomson, in this as in awry* thing else that he undertakes, has achiev ed new laurels, and stands pre emient as a match-maker. In his new field of la bor we wish him unbounded success, and posterity will accord to him the fall meed of honor sod of praise that he Co richly deserves.?Abbeville Medinm. ? ii i?i ?
