SELECTED.
THE OFFICER AND THE DUELLIST;
OR, THE INSULT.
A gentleman who held the patent for his honor, imme
diately from Almighty God.?Burns.
" Gentlemen, what thinic you of the course
adopted by G in this matter: don't you
think he should call him out? By Heavens !
I would have challenged him upon the spot."
"Shame ! Shame !" was uttered by many
voices, excited by the subject and wine before
them.
" What say you, Morton?"
"Gentlemen," replied the officer addressed,
rising, while the hot blood mounted to his
very temples, "I know no shame. The course
which I pursued was the only one left to my
election, consistent with those principles which
have ever governed my conduct, and which I
have inherited from my fathers; and I should
iudeed prove an unworthy descendant of an
honorable race, should I be the first to err. I
shall not call him out."
"Bravo! bravo' fill up, gentlemen. I pro
pose a toast," said Captain S ironically;
and rising?
"Here's to the honor of the regiment and
country, and confusion to the officer bearing a
commission who refuses to uphold either."
" I appreciate your toast, Captain S and
can even bear that and more, and yet refrain
from calling you out, for the pleasure of shoot
ing you at ten paces," said Norton, calmly.
The captain made no reply, other than a
look of contempt.
The occasion of the meeting, and apparent
dissatisfaction of the mess, was an insult which
one of their number had received the night
previous from a citizen at a ball; and which
the officer would not, or could not, notice fur
ther at the lime, than to inquire of a bystander
the address of the offender.
The insulted officer, with whom his com
rades were thus incensed, was a young gen
tleman of fine talents, who graduated at West
Point Academy, with all the honors, and, un
til this occurrence of the insult, had been es
teemed among his brothers of his profession,
as one of the most promising young officers in
the army. 0
He was descended from one of those good
old New England families, who have ever
been proverbial for their elevated moral bear
ing, and who can perceive no difference of
moral turpitude between the murderer who
stabs or shoots his victim down in the street,
and the duellist, who shoots down his victim
according to the most refined prescriptions of
the rules of honor.
As Norton G did not demand satisfac
tion for the insult at the time it occurred, and
refused to seek it after the popular mode, his
brother officers attributed his conduct to pusil
animity; but they were to know him better.
He resolved at all hazards to avoid a duel,
yet was equally determined to obtain full and
ample satisfaction of the offender; and at
length adopted an expedient, which he doubt
ed not would correct the erroneous impressious
of his comrades, and at the same time afford
himself ue honorable satisfaction desired,
without imbruing his hands in the blood of
his fellow being.
Tattoo was past, the "taps" had been given,
and all was quiet in and around ihe fort. A
person was seen to leave the officer's quarters,
muffled in a cloak, and proceeded silently in
the direction of the town. A sentinel hails,
"who comes there?" and io answered, "officer,
with the countersign;" the sentinel commands,
"advance officer with the countersign, and
give it;" which proving to be correct, the sen
tinel replies, "right, pass," and the officer
went on his way.
He stops at the door of the principal hotel
in the town, and for a moment hesitates about
entering; presently he rings for admission?
the door opens?he has gone in.
"Ah ! Mr. G , your humble servant; to
what am I indebted for the honor of your fair
company, particularly at this late hour? After
what transpired last evening* 1 expected to
have seen your friend before this. What is
your business here Sir?"
" Sir," replied Lieut. G , " this affair
does not require the interference of a third
person; I am here to exact prompt and imme
diate satisfaction for the unprovoked assault
perpetrated by you upon myself last night.
i You expected a challenge from me, that you
j might have the diabolical pleasure of shooting
I me; but you have mistaken your man, sir.
I An ample written apology is the only thing
that will satisfy me, or that I will accept; and
if i do not obtain it by milder measures, I will
quicken the dullness of your apprehension by
a feeling exhibition of my admirable skill at
engraving; saying which, the lieutenant drew
from under his coat a cowskin of no insignifi
cant weight or proportions.
What a scene for a painter! Upon a chair
sat the civilian, a mixed expression of fear and
rage distorting his whole countenance, while
a slight trembling of his limbs betrayed the
pusillanimous soul within him.
He was one of those detestable beings whom
we sometimes meet, whose only recommenda
tion is their celebrity with the pistol, and who
have hitherto been suffered to exist iu commu
nity upon much the same conditions that life
was accorded to the first murderer. Destitute
of all moral courage, as he is of correct moral
principle, the duelist finds himself an outcast
even among his kindred, and can obtain notice
only on account of his depravity, or fellowship
only with those equally depraved, of whom he
extorts it by the force of pistol suasion.
Our braggadocia quailed before the calm,
determined ex^ess^n of the young soldier's
eye, am) conscious that he had insulted him
grievously without cause, the view of the cow
skin operated on his' fears, much as it would
have operated upon the apprehension of any
other cur.
tl Sir," said the lieutenant, drawing his
watch, and at the same time shaking the cow
skin in the face of the terror-struck wretch,
"I give you five minutes to write out the
apology I shall dictate."
The civilian pleaded inability to comply,
lor vant of writing materials: "I have anti
cipated that want," said the lieutenant, pro
ducing from his pocket a small inkstand and
some paper and pens. Perceiving no alterna
tive, our culprit undertook the task of amanu
ensis, with about the same amiable compli
ance that an offending school-boy urchin, in
days of yore, would advauce to receive his ra
tions of birch logic. Having completed the
unpalatable document to the satisfaction of the
officer, the luiter individual quietly folded it
up and deposited it in his pocket.
Alter ei..i^utening his auditor somewhat in
a brief lccture upon the distinguishing charac
teristics of gentlemen and puppies, the lieu
tenant put up his conciliating friend, and de
parted, greatly to the relief of the civilian.
On assembling in the mess-room the next
morning for breakfast, the officers perceived
the following note, placed behind the glass in
one of the picture Iratnes that adorned the
walls:
" To whom it may concern. I, Isaiah Bull
head, duelist and blackleg, do acknowledge
having grossly insulted Lieutenant G , at
a ball on the night of the ? instant, without
any cause or provocation; and that Lieutenant
G has called npon me, and compelled me,
through terror of an iustant and severe cow
hiding, to confess in this manner, as I now do,
that my coudj|pt to him on that occasion was
eminently disgraceful, and worthy only of a
vile reptile like myself; and also to confess
that I humbly ask his pardon.
Witness my hand, this ? month of 182?.
Isaiah Bullhead."
We need not tell the reader that Lieutenant
G 's conduct in this matter was appreci
ated at its proper value by his brother officers,
and was the means of disgusting many of their
number with the practice of duelling.
Mr. Bullhead decamped at the earliest prac
ticable moment, and at the last accounts was
enjoying a professorship in the stone-cutting
department of one of the public institutions of
Missouri, denominated a penitentiary.
