It was in the evening, while we were sit? ting over the Gre. that Gen. Harding said to me, "The Northern papers have frequently asserted that Andrew Jackson never ex? pressed any regret abouC the duel in which he killed Charles Dickinson. This is a mis? take, and you should correct it." I took out a note book and made full mem? oranda of what my friend proceeded to say. Gen. Harding's account of the cause of the duel ditiered somewhat from the accepted story ; but that is not important, as he did not pretend personally to kuow anything of its origin. The valuable portion of his ac count is that which relates to his conversa? tion with Gen. Jackson himself. He said, however, thai the duel grew out of a quar? rel on the race track between Jackson and Joseph Ervin, Dickinson's father in law. Dickinson took up the quarrel and the duel followed. The other account of the affair narrates that in 1806 Jackson became in? volved in a quarrel at tho race track with a 3Ir. Swann, and ho found Dickin? son's name offensively introduced into the letters written by .Swauu. Dickinson bad previously made disparaging remarks about ?.Mrs. Jackson, and the Genera! had remon strattd with Mr. Ervin about Dickinson's speeches, saying that he wished no quarrel with the latter, who wa-s used by Jackson's enemies in Nashville. Swano's letters, how? ever, renewed ihu feeliug between Gen. Jackson and Dickinson, and resulted in the !atal duel. To return to Get!. Harding's story, which I give verbatim : "la conversation with Gen. Jackson one day I said : 'General, is a brave mau ever frightened ?' "'I don't know that I am cempelen' to onswer that question,' '.aid he. "I replied, "The world accords you as much bravery as io possessed by any man.' "'If that be so, sir,' said the General, 'I would ?ay I havebeeu as b?dly frightened as a gentleman ought ever to bo.' ?'I said, T presume (hat was in some of your Indian tights ?' " 'No,' said he, 'it was when I went on the held with Dickiusou. I knew him to be a cool, brave, determined man, and the best shot I ever saw, und I never expecltd to leave the field alive. I owe my live to the fashion of tho day?the full-hrees.ed coat. This, and tho peculiar cou formatijn of my much sunken chest were all that saved me. Dickinson's bullet struck what appeared to be the centre of my body under the right arm, and the hall grazed my breastbone. I had gone upon the held determined not to fire at Dickio son, but to dUcbaige my pistol in the air, having no ground of quarrel with h:in, and not wishing to hurt a hair of his head. My quarrel was with his father-in-law, Ervin : but when t felt myself shot, under the im? pression that I had received a mortal wound, and smarting under this boiief and the physical pain, I tired tho fatal shot, aud no act of my life have I ever regretted so much. " 'Under the conditions of the meeting we had a right to reserve the fire, because I knew that Dickinson could shoot so much more quickly than I could. It has been as? serted in tho public prints,' said Old Hicko? ry, 'that I advanced'to Dickinson to deliver my shot and that he gave back, both of which statements are falue, sir. I stood in my place wheu I fired and Dickinson remained jn his, receiving my shot liko a cool, brave man as be was.' " Gen. Harding said that at this same in? terview, which was the last he ever had with Gen. Jackson, tho latter said to him : " 'The world is greatly mistaken about my having an ungovernable temper. I never gave an exhibition of temper without ruy judgment approved it. I sometimes f mml it necessary even to prevent thes-hed di:ig of blood.'" It was in this connection that Gen. Hard? ing recalled the first time he ever saw Gen. Jacksou. "It was at the Clover Bottom race course. A fight bad taken place, and the excitement was geueral and high. For? ty or fifty men stood with pistols drawn, I find there was imminent danger to many lives, when," said Gen. Harding, "a tall, slender man on a big bay horse rode quick ly up, looking like the devil himself, and cried out. 'By the Eternal ! I command the peace.' It was Andrew Jackson, and he was obeyed. I was only twelve years old when this happened, but I shall never lose the impression tho scene made upon me. Jackson had moro command over men than anv other man I ever saw, and he frequent? ly "had to exercise it. He was the most ele? gant and courtly gentleman I ever knew. He preferred to avoid a difficulty if possible and consistent with his dignity, but be had a great contempt for the man who, beiog once involved in a fight, would not stand up in full view and get shot at. I remem? ber a fight in which he and the Benson brothers were engaged. One of the latter got under the stairway to keep from getting shot, and Gen. Jackson considered him a contemptible man over afterward."?South? ern Bivouac. Despise JSot the Day of Small Things. Little things may help a man to rise?a bent pin in an easy chair for instance.
