«**T' i3£,6< WINCHESTER. SATURDAY, November 9th. 1822. It is not our intention to reply, in detail, to a writer in the last Itcpuhlican. signed Cl/lir Voyant, who was pleased to animadvert upon our remarks in the Gazette of the 26th ult. in coma mendation of the Hamiltonian System of teach* ing toe French Language. —We shall only ob« ■fc serve that the opinion we then expressed of ^Mhe Hamiltonian System, has been strength ened by the best teat,—experience; which we deem worth a thousand crntmentt, pro sr con. For example, a youth of !■} years old, (a mem. her of the writer’s family,) whohas received but \ 8 or 10 lessona from Messrs. Hamilton & Wey mouth, already trantlale*. with facility & cor rectness, the various passages of French which occur in l)r Omearas* relation of hia conversa tions with Buonaparte.—We have also bad opportunities of witnessing the proficiency of other students, one of whom is now engsged in the translation of Cil Bias; these faett speak volumes in praise of the System, in sup port of which we offered our humble tribute, without designing offence to any otic.—Here we take leave of the subject. THE DUELLI3T8 AGAIN; We are informed by a gentleman just from Washington, that a letter had been received in that ci y, from the South, which announced a meeting between CUMM1NG Zsf M’DUF FIE, to have taken place near Augusta, Geor gia—The following are the particular* of the affair, so far a* we have learned them. After the parties had taken their position, and the second who ga>e the signal, was re. petting one, two, Mr. Cutnming altered his position of sending, from the erect to a corner like form, and was reprehended by >lr, MsDuffie for so doing, when the former before the final number had been announced by the second, straightened hia position .nd tired, but without effect. Mr, McDuffie im mediately threw down Ins pistol and refused to fire The second of the Utter became so incensed at the conduct of Mr. Cumming, that he w^s about to pistol him on the spot* When hia arm was arreated by McDuffie. [.Balt, Chr. McDuffie cumming—again. A letter from Hamburg. fS. C.J da ted 22d inst sny*. ‘‘M’Duffie ar.d Cura ming had another meeting yesierdav morning at Campbeltown, about two mile* from thin place. After raking their portions, the words, ‘‘are yon ready,” were given by McDuffie’* sec. und, at which M’Duffie inadvertently raised his pistol a few degrees from its perpendicular position, but instant ly aware of (he impropriety, returned it to his aide, saying, “I aoi not ready” But hi* second having hi- eye fixed in Col Cumming, did not observe this cir cumstance, & ordered “fire.’* At which Col. Cumming fired anJ missed; Mr. M’Dufti? declined firing, deemed it im proper to fire after stating that he was not ready; and her- the matter has en ded. It is stated, that Cul C. wanted an atlu-rjire. I. appeal* that tin* duel is ne er to terminate in the common way. Rumor further -ay*. that it will be left to a board of hon»r tn determine whe ther McDuffie is bound to fight again. The above aecouni is made up from the stateinen's of both parties, and I expect correct.” CUMMING AND M’DUFFIE. By last night’s western mail, we are inf rme l that these gentleman met on Monday morning last, at the Arsenal, ncai Augusta, They had «<»ken their position*, and the word* “ are vou rea dy,” given by Mr, M’Duffie’s~ second (who had drawn ihe choice and sta tion) when M’Duffie was in ihe act of raising his pistol • but finding h“ tva* in error, and at once, perceiving the disadvantage* under which he would labor by lowering again rais ing at the word fire, cried ••••« •stop',l at the instant the wt>rd 'fLre’l had been pronounced, at the umeM’Duf fie throwing hi* body out of the line of his position, end thereby avoiding Col. Camming’* ball* which had been shot at the word “ fire,'\ We further understand that neither party, at, tached eensnre to the other-usthe one (Col C,) was perf. ctly within the roles, and the other (Mr. M’Duffie). unprepared, either on accoQO1 of a de sire to fire quick, or from som* nbjec 4(hn which arose on discovering the position of the Colonel, winch h> af terward* insisted was incorrect, and in (his Combat, until the Colonel (who was unwilling to assume any oihcr, position) was obliged to consent to references, which i* to decide whe. ther or not his position was rnrre*,1, after which it is presumed the con test will be again renewed. | tfat?
