Duellng. .--The Legislature of Ten nessee, for the purpose of suppressing a resort to arms in viHdication of viola .ed honor, have made the offence of Dueillng highly penal.

 The general sense of the country is ih iavor of the legislative enactment. and an immense iabrie callea . .sI,;l and Penitentiary house. has Noon erect ed for the purpose of accommoastjng gentlemen wko may violate it's proys, sions. If this law be in accordance with the feelings and prevailing sentiments of the people of this state, an cxprcs- sion of this opinion so as to render it binding to our Senators in Congress might lead 10 the investigation of this important subject in the National Coun- cils. The late scenes at Washington must lead the friends of Duelling to question the propriety of it's longer to- leration in the district of Columbia, or any other portion of the Union. To the people It can assume no other as- pest than that of extreme folly, with out an apology to Dc offered in it's justi- ilcation. It is relic of Gothic barba- rism, alike obnoxious 10 the moral sense oi thc nation. The christian, the phi lanthroplet and the statesman should unite in the extermination of d monster "with mien so hideous that to be hated needs only to be seen.e
