j. q. BENNETT, ESQ -


A rumor is at this moment In circulation which.
from all the circumstances of the day, and the
case between the parties, seems to be unique stiona-
bly, true, viz-that in answer te the terrible rebuke
administered to Mr.. Clngman, of NJ c., by Mr..
Yancey, of Alabama, on Tuesday last, in the
House, in the debate on the Texas question: the
former gentleman has challenged the latter accord
ing to the code of honor-that the latter has
accepted-that all the necessary arrangements
have been effected-that Mr.. Cngman left
this morning for the borders of Delaware with
his frends-that Mr.. Yancey left this evening with
his right hand man, being Mr.. Dromgoole OF Va
that the meeting between the parties takes place
tomorrow, and that each is determined upon the
death Q! his adversary: If this be the case, and
these the facs-of which appearances are but too
convincing. we hope for an amicable adjustment of
the afar-and that the mantle of charity, as in the
case OF Noah will be thrown over the mntter IN
controversy.


EWe learn further from one of the witnesses in
the case, that the gentleman from Kentucky, who
fired pistol at Col. M'Causlen of the House.
during the melee of last session which
grew out of the passage at arms between
Messrs. Rathbun and White, had his trial
to-day, and that he pas been convicted of assault
and battery upon McCauslen-the two counts in
the indictment of intent to kill, in the case Of Nc
Causen, and Of Writ, the man wounded acciden-
tally in the discharge OF the pistol being set aside.
