We regret TO learn that hostile
meeting took place on the morning Of
Thursday last, opposite Vicksburg, be-
tween Messrs Hammett and Ryan, edit
ors ofthe Vicksburg "Whig'' and Vicks-
burg Sentinel" which resulted in the
death Of the latter. Several months a.
60, indeed almost from the first week in
which Ryan took charge the Sentinel
as successor to Hagan, the editorial dis
cussions between these two gentlemen
degenerated into the most gross and Bit
ter personality. A duel was arranged
and took place between them, which it
was understood honorably terminated
the difficulty existing between the par
ties. 1t appears however that animosi-
ty broke out afresh, resulting in the
death ofthe editor of the Sentinel


The parties fought with pistols at ten
PAGES. The first round, the shot ofnei-
ther took effect. The second round.
Hammett was slightly cut in the shoul-
der, and in the third round had his
clothes perforated across the small Of
his back, by the ball Of his adversary.
At the fourth round, Hammett's ball
took effect in Ryan's pistol arm, glanc-
ed thence into his breast, producing a
wound Of which he died in few
hours.--Mem. Eng.
