WASHINGTON CITY, March 6.
The rumor, given ycu in iny last, of the late
tragedy in Richmond, turns out to be true,
only my information as to names was not cor
rect.the parties were Thomas Ritchie Jr , and
John H. Pleasants. The latter has since died
of the wounds he received. I was led to think
that one of the parties was Mr. VV'm. Ritchie,
from the fact, that a duel had been arranged
between him and tip deceased some year or
two since. A long acquaintance with • young
Tom Ritchie” had very much impressed me
with his amiable and gentlemanly character ;
and how he became a principal in such a bloo
dy affair, is hard to divine. The unfortunate
affair, no doubt, had its origin in the ancient
fund, existing between the deceased, and old
Mr. Ritchie.
Day before yesterday, the New Jersey con
tested election was decided in the House of
Representatives, and the seat given to the
sitting member, Mr. Runk, who is a whig.
The decision was made in favor of Runk, by
the casting vote of Mr, Davis, the Speaker.
This is an instance of impartiality worth men
tioning. The reporters, and letter writers for
the N. York Tribune, have been expelled from
the House, for some improprieties in their cor
respondence.—Served them right. The House
Ik as been engaged to-day, with private, und or
dinary matters.
Governor Stockton of Delaware, died on
Monday evening last, at New Castle ; his death
was sudden—caused os is presumed, by a rup
ture of » blued vessel. His term of office
would not Imve expired until 1849.
The levee at the Executive Mansion, night
before last, was crowded wiib all the fashion
af the metropolis.
The Oregon question has assumed no new
.shape in the Senate ; the debate is still going
on. Messrs Breese of Illinois, Dayton of New
Jersey, and Haywojd of N. C. have address,
cd the Senate, the tirst for the notice unquali
fiedly, the second opposed to the notice, and
the laiadc a very sensible speech, which has
atlrscted more than'ordinary attention. Han.
negan’s intemperate, and unjustifiable rejoinder
is universally condemned. He remarked that
if the President consented to compromise that
be had spoken “words of falsehood with the
tongue of a serpant.” Now, this is not only
unjustifiable, hut it is absurd—Suppose Con
gress determines that north of 49, the q uestion
of Territory, is one of “negotiation and compro
mise,” and places the whole question, at the
disposal of the Cabinet—is the President to be
denounced for conforming to sucl) action? Yet
Mr. Hannegan, and Mr. Allen, who seem to
be OregoiumaJ—stand ready to condemn him.
It is worthy of remark, that Mr. Bouton is
more mpderate and conciliatory.
The papers will hove advised you of the
great enow storm ; there has been nothing like
it for many years.
1 he notorious McKenzie has announced a
hew work ; the life of Martin Von Buren. 1
presume it will be a continuation of his other
pamphlet—and will realise the fable of the
mountain and the mouse. *
The correspondence between our Minister
at the court of Louis Phillip, end Guizot has
no doubt, reached you. Mr. King’s purpose,
which seems to have been, not only lo notice
promptly the slander of the London Times—
but, to bring an important issue of fact, be
tween himself and the French government, to
the notice of the French people, is highly corn
mended by his numerous friends. You will
recollect that Gen. Cass, upon the question of
search, came forward in a siihilM nay, through
the press,—and exposed the deceptive scheme
of England, by which she was near entangling
France in her web of power. It is well known
that his timely production, by calling the atten
tion of the French people to the scheme, defea
ted its consumation ; and the hitler hate of the
English government, was evinced by the vio
olent assault of Lord Brougham, on tied. Gass
and his pamphlet. It is a fact, which experience
is fast developing, that the French court, is un
favorably disposed to the United States, on con
trolling questions of national policy. It ie, al
so, true that the populace of France are, as
against England, our fast friends. It was, no
doubt, in view of these facts, that Mi". King
deemed it proper, in correcting a slaudor of the
London Times—to bring to the attention of the
French people the fact—that their Kmg had
given him assurance, “thal in no event, any
steps woiild be taken by hie government in the
slightest degree hostile, or which u-ould give to
the U. Stales just cause of complaint. The
London Times pronounced this «utterly false,"
and you will notice that Mr. King desires the
French Vrcmier to authorise' him to state, that
this contradiction, and the terms of it, which
liad been copied by the Journal des Debates,
"have not in the slightest degree, the authority or
sanction oj the French GovernmentTills is
bringing the question home to the door of the
wily French diplomatist, in a way that does not
suit his fancy ; and he evades the subject, by a
qualified denial of the Times’ statemem, and a
disavowal of the official character of the JouN
nal des Debates. Mr. Kings course is not only
approved here; but it is generally conceded that
be has completely “cornered” Mons. Guizot.
ALABAMA.

Tlie Growers of Colton.
‘Tlie principles ot free trade, which have
How taken such deep root in England, and
which ere long will he carried into success
ful operation must impart a powerful impulse
to all the agricultural pursuits of this coun
try. It will at one® he felt in all those sec
tions of the Union, where the bread stuffs
ore the principal staple; and the rearing ol
provision stock for market an object of at
tention.—Cut it may be asked, what effeet
will the repeal of the corn laws and a modi
fication of the British tariff have upon the
cotton growing interest? The effect will
be indirect, hot nevertheless certain and
beneficial. As these measures will reduce
the price of provisions in England, they
will increase the means Ibr supplying other
necessaries, and as a consequence enhance
the consumption of cotton. But the effect
will be not only to extend the consumption,
but also, if not to reduce the production, at
least to prevent its rapid extension. It will
keep in the wheat fields of Virginia and
Maryland the thousands of slaves that are
annually sent to the C"tton fields of the south
and southwest, to their production, already
rendered almost vnluless by its stiperabun*
fiance ; it will diminish the amount of cotton
grown in Tennessee and oilier regions bel
ter adapted to provisions and stock; it will
divert labor to some extent to the culture
of rice; it will cause emigrants to Texas
and other new regions, in their locations
to have reference to other pursuits than the
growing of cotton; and lastly, but not
least, it will compel every cotton planter,
to rely upon himself for his own provisions,
and to do what his interest has longimpara
tively demanded, make less cotton and
thereby make more money.
We congratulate the growers of Cotton
upon the prospect that bus dawned upon
them. Let our own government imitate
the example of Great Britain, let her reduce
the odious tariff of 1842, the burden ol
which they have so long and patiently borne,
and which has caused them to how their
heads like the bulrush. Then they may
look up with the proud consciousness, that
their chains have been loosened, and that
they are Irec. With tlio woild before them
for a market, and in the enji^mcnt of the
privilege of selling where they can sell best,
and buying when they can buy cheapest,
if prosperity shall not then bo their portion,
tllcy will deserve to remain the dependent,
oppressed, povertygstrickcn or poveriy-fear
ingfclass of the community, which the unjust
exactions of theirowo, and the selfish policy
of the British government, have hitherto
rendered them.

Ii will be reccoHected tlmt for n long
lime Mr. Pleasants had pursued, towards
the elder Ritchie, any thing hut a concilia
tory hearing, and becoming soured bv dis
appointments he seemed to increase in its.
cerbity of feelings towards the whole family
of Ritchies, and his hatred was transferred
Irom the father to the sons on their taking
charge of the Elquirer, and frequent and
insulting have been the insinuations thrown
out against them, which of couiso, would
he retorted by them. When Mr. Pleasants
left the Whig editorial chair, in no pleasant
mood, nnd announced his determination to
estnolish the Richmond Globe, a writer (or
the Enquirer, who assumes the name of
“ Macon,” stated tlmt it was to be an abo
lition affair, and coadjutor of Cassius M.
Clay. This opened ufresh the old wounds,
and discourteous reflections nnd recrimi
nations have followed each other until pas
sion was excited beyond control, and on
Tuesday Mr. Pleasants was in waiting for
Mr. Ritchie to “cut him down in the streets
as soon as they met,” us was the expression
conveyed to Mr. Ritchie, who, we under
stood, replied that “for the decency of the
thing, he would like it to stake place some
where else.” Mr. Pleasants caused Mr.
Ritchie to be informed that he would he in
Manchester on Wednesday morning, armed
for the purpose of making a deadly attack
upon him there if lie met him.
Mr. Ritchie, in company with two friends,
Messrs. YV. Greenhow, and U. £Scotl, Jr.,
repaired to the designated spot, and arrived
first. Mr. Pleasants with his friends, Mes
srs. Deane and Archer shortly alter arrived.
Mr. Pleasants, was armed with two long rifle
pistols nnd a sword cane, Mr. Ritchie with
two patent-rSvolving six barrelled pistols
and a Roman sword. Mr. Pleasants imme
diately advanced on Mr. Ritchie, who stood
his giound, witji his pistol levelled—when
wlttiin range, Mr, H. commonouddischarg
ing.—Mr. P. although wounded had not yet
fired, hut continued to advance; when quite
near lie discharged his pistol at Mr. R. with
out effect; tie then levelled the other pistol,
and in die act of firing, a ball from Ritchie’s
pistol passed through his, P's, hand which
shook him so that the second discharge was
also harmless; he then threw the pistol at
his adversary, and attacked him with liis
sword. Mr. Ritchie continued effectually
to parry the efforts of Mr. Pleasants until
the latter fell exhausted, after he had re
ceived a slight wound in the groin. Here
the affray ended, and young Ritchie departed
unharmed, immediately lor Washington,
and Pie isunts was conveyed home. Four
bullet wounds were Ibund upon bis person,
and a slight sword wound. Mr. Pleasants
we lenrned from the curlier of the Star
yesterday morning on the departure of the
Richmond boat, died at i o’clock. Such,
we believe, are the simple facts, which we
give without comment or extenuation.

Health—“ The poor mini’s riches
— The rich man’s bliss. ”
rHUIIO Pioprictor of this Medicine. actuated
KL by n deHire lo benefit bis fellow beings,
oilers to the l’ublic the result of nn extensive
practice and a thorough investigation of the
laws which govern the human system.
lie is well aware of the odium which is at
tach'd by Physicians to all remedies, the com
position of which they are not acquainted with,
yet he is not satisfied to withhold this valuable
medicine knowing that it will stand the test of
experience, and that those who use it, will not
have occasion to complain that it has not benc
tilted them. He is fully satisfied, that these
Bitters require only to become known, to be
universally appreciated and extensively used.
For it cannot he denied by those who have be
come acquainted with their singular virtues,
that they possess a pre-eminence over all others
now in use, for the diseases which they profess
lo cure.
In proof of their extraordinary curative pro
perties, upwards of One Thousand CClTlf
ICATK8, from the most respectable Citizens in
dillerent sections oftlie Union, might be appen
ded ; but the high reputation which my Vegeta
ble Pills, (known ns Spencer's Vegetable
Pills) hnve acquired, is all sufficient to recom
iii-nd iny Bitters to the special notice of the
afflicted.
They are purely Vegetable and may be ta
kenVith perfect safely by all ages and eexes
m youthful, ndult and declining life.
They Cure Dyspepsia and I.iver Com
plaints by cleansing the s'omach and bowels
of every thing injurious to health, regulating
the various secretions; and by their manifest
and sensible action upon the chyle, they purify
the blood, invigorate the circulation, strengthen
the digestive organs, and produce a healthy ac
tion, throughout the system ;—!,oss of Appe
tite, Heartburn, Headache, Flatulency, Palpita
tion of the Heart, Restlessness, III Temper,
Languor and Melancholy, which are the usual
symptoms of Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint,
will all disappear as a natural consequence of
its cure.
They not only Cure Dyspepsia and Liver
Complaint, but they have almost a miraculous
effect in curing Sick Headache, and all Ner
vous Affections. They are peculiarly adapted
10 remove all these complaints, not by constant
ly physicing, brit by slrengllien.ng the system.
No greater mistake can be Diade than to sup
pose that Dyspepsia, or any other disease ari
sing from debility, can be cured by frequent for
ced action on the bowelg with purgative medi
cines, without having a proper tome to'accom
patiy them. When thebe complaints exist, the
system is already loo weak, and every addition
al dose lends to make it more so. Spencer*
Vegetable Pills possess tonic and restora
tive properties independent of their purgative
effects, arid are believed to be the only purga
tive Pill in existence that possess these impor
tant properties. Spencer’s Hitters also ac
ting as a still more effective tonic and restore
tive, strengthen the digestive organs, and as?
.-ist them to perform their functions as nature
designed, lienee they are found to be effica
cious al*o in 11mse Diseases peculiar to Fe
males, which arise more frequently from weak
ness than any other cause. The aged and in*
linn of botfi sexes, and persons ot sedentary
habits prone to costiveness, and those who have
suffered from loss of appetite, have experienced
great benefit from them. In Convalescence
IroiTi Fevers, and other acute disordeis, they
restore strength ; and individuals afflicted with
Nervous Headache dnd other derangements of
the nervous function have been entirely cured
by this medicine ■"
In 1 ever and Xgue and Chills and Fever,
they surpass every thing known in rooting out
i lie last seeds of this worst of maladies. The
I Proprietor has known hundreds of cases, from
I six to twelve months standing, who had used
| almost every thing they could think of, but
I were cured only for a fV w days at a time, when
the dull would again teturn, but who have been
I entirely cured by using this Medicine, and have
I dec lured it to be the most sovereign and last
ing remedy they evey heard of. in fact the
Proprietor has never known them to fail curing
the very worst cases when Used according to
the directions.
lJy removing the local inflammation from the
muscles and hgomen»s of the joints, those Pills
and Hitters have been known to cure Rheuma
tism, permanently in two weeks.
For Worm a, they ore supe/ior to any of the
common vermifuge medicines, as they preveni
thut cold state of the stomach, and dislodge
Iroin the bowels all the slimy mutter to which
these creature's adhere- Aiso jjsihniat by re*
Moving the lungs and air vessels from the mucus
which even slight colds will occasion, which if
not removed becomes hardened and produces
this disagreeable disease. Diurhcea, Dysinte
ry, and Cholic, by removing all those bud hum
orF by which these complaints are occasioned,
and by their singular action on the secretions of
the mucous membrane, Scrofula, Scurvy, Ul
cc?s and Inveterate Sdies, by the power they
exert in purifying the blood and all the springs
and channels of life. Scorbutic Eruptions and
Had Complexion by their alterutive effect uDon
lie timely that teed the skin; the morbid state of
.vhicli occasions ail eruptive complaints ; Sal
Cloudy, and other disagreeable Ccmpltx
ons. The use of the Pills uud Bitteis for a
rery slrort limn, will make an entire cure of
Erysipelas, Salt Rheum, and a striking improvo
nent Hi the clearness of tlie skin. The worst
;ast*s ot Common Colds and Injluenza will most
11 ways yield to one or two doses of thfe Pills.
And as a remedy for that distressing malady;
lie Piles, too much cannot be said in their fa
r'or, lor by using this medicine in very Mode
rate doses; it has been known to cure the worst
d cases, and that too, of those who had tried
ilmost otrery other remedy that could be pre
scribed within the whole compass of the Matey
•ite Mediere.
Females who value good health, should hcv
?r be without {Spencer’s Pills and Bitters, nS
they purify the blood, remove obstructions, and
j*ive the skin a beautiful, clear and healthy ap
pearance.
Elderly Persons make it a rule to lake
them 2 or 3 times a week, by which they re*
move the causes that produce disease, preservo,
their health, and keep oil* the* infirmities of
age.
Heads op Families should alwas keep this.
Medicine in the house, us a remedy in cases of
sudden illness, for by ihcir immediate adminis
tration, Cholera Morbus, Diarrhoea, Cholic;
Gout in the Stomach, Cramps, Spasms, Peters,
and other alarming complaints, which ofien
prftfe fatal, may be speedily cured or preven
ted.
All that is required of those who use this
Medicine is to use it strictly according to the
directions. It is not by any thing the proprie
tor himself may say in their favor that he hopes
to gain credit, li is alone by the result of d
Fair trial.
