The famous duel between Jackson and Dickinson is generitlly known, but Panou'a recei t Life of the former gives an excellent account of the aEfitir, with some circumstances ibnt are new: ..' Dickinson's second won the choice of position and Jackson's the' ofH.je of giving the word. The a.4tute Overton considered this giving ths word a matter of ereat importance, and be hnd already determined how be would give it, if the 'lot fell to bicn. The eifbl paces wre measured off, and the men (laced; both were perfectly Collected. AM the politeness of such occasions Tra strictly and elegautlj performed.

" Dickinson raised his pistol quit kly and fired. Overton wh was looking with anxiety and dread at Jack on, saw a puff of dust fly rrom the breast of his coat, and siw him raise his left arm and place it tightly across bis cbect. "He is surely hit, thought Oveiton, "and jn a bad placed too, but he does not fall." Erect and . grim as fate he stood, his teeth clenched, raisng his pistol. Overton glanced at Dickinson. Amazed at the unwonted failure of bis aim, and appalled at ti e awful figure and face before bim Dickinsou bad unconsciously recoiled a pace or - : two. "Great GodP he faltered, "have I missed him?-' : . '-Baek.to the mark, sirl" thundered Overton, . with ht bano opon his pistol. Dkkiuson recovered hi composure, stepped forward to the peg, aud stood with eyes averted tVom his antagonist. Alt this was hut the work of a moment, though it requires many words to sell it. . 7; General Jackson took deliberate aim, and polled the trigger. The pistol neither snapped nor went off. Be looked at the trigger and discov-ered that it bad stopped at half-cock. He drew it back to its place, aud took aim a second time.

He asked tor some butters ilk. While she was irettipjr it for him, ahe obeerved him furtively open his coat and hxk within It. s She saw that his ahirt was soaked with blood j and she stood gazing with blank horror at the sight, dipper iu hand. He caught her eje, and hastily but teaed np hid coat again-: She dipped out a qurt measure full of battermilk, and gave it to him. He drank it oT at a daught, then went in, took off his coat and bad his wound carefully dressed. That done; he dispnlched one of his retinue to Dr. Callet, to inquire res pecting the condition of Dickinsoa, a id to say that: the surgeon attending himself would be glad to contribute bis aid towards Mr. Dickin son's relief. Polite reply ws returned that Mr. Dickinson's case was - part surgery. In the course of the day Gen. Jackson sent a bottle of wine to Dr. Callet for the-ate of bis patient. But there was one gratification which Jackson could not, even in such circumstances, grant him. A very old friend of General Jackson's write' to me thus: Although the General had been wounded, he did not desire it to be known until be bad left the neighborhood, and therefore had concealed it at first from his own friends. His reasons for doing this, as he once stated to me, was, that as Dickinson considered himself the best shot in the world, and was certain of kill- ingjhim the first fire, he did- not want him to have the gratification of knowing that he had touched him." t ; , . i,,- ' Census of 1860- Question to be Answer- On the first of June, the work of taking the census commences. .

An old Misissippian furnishes the following to Ihe Woodville (Miss.) liepullican: The famous duel in which forty or more gentlemen were engaged, in 1828, is still remembered in Nat-chtz. Col. Jim Bowie, the famous fighter and in ventor of the knife which bears bis name, used to spend a great deal of his time in Natchez. He was challenged by a gentleman of Alexan. dria. La., whose friends, to the num,Kerof twenty ot more, accompanied him to Natchez to see fair play, knowing Bowie was a desperate man, and bad his own friends about bim. All parties went to the field. The combatants took their places in the center, separated from their friends in the rear, far enough not to endanger them with tbeir balls. . Behold the battle 'W.rray thus: Twenty armed Louisiauians fifty yards behind their champion and bis seconds and surgeon, and opposite i hem, as far behind Bowie and his seconds and surireon, twenty armed Mississippians. Behold the heights of Natchez thronged with spectators, aud a steamboat in tbe river rounded to, its deck olack with- passengers, watching with a deep in terest the scene. ' ..The plan'of fight was to exchange shots twice with pistols, td to close with 'knives, Bowie being armed with bis own terrible weapon. At the first fire both parties escaped. ' At the see ond the Louaianian was too quick and : took advantage of Bowie, who waited the word. . At this Be wie's second cried "fool play I" . and shot, the Louisianan dead. : Tbe second of the latter in; stautty killed the "slayer of his principal.' 'Bowie drove bis knife into thu man.

The Substance of the account is as follows. ) Holmes county in 181 ), was the hunting ground of Indians of whjm 'Seneca," the chief of a tribe of that name war-one. 'Mr. Jacob Am. mond, now living in Ci hocton couuty, then lived about a mile from whei s Millersburg now is, and the Mile Pond. Senec. became inimical to Am-m.ud, but pretended riendship; yet Mr. Am-mond's knowledge of te Indian ; character ena. bled him to detect bU nWtility. Seneca told Am-mond that there was a War near Mile Pond, and be wanted him to go bet him kill it. Ammond c insulted his wife, and he begged bim not to gr. But A, thinking be runjess risk by going with the Indian than to Uke ie chances of being killed when not on hi goaf!, accompanied Seneca, each taking a gun, Te pond being narrow, Seneca took one side ad Ammond tbe other.

In 1C82, Galileo, then a youth of eighteen, was seated in the Cathedral at Pisa when tbe 'amps suspended from the roof were replenished by the s-icristan: who, in doing so, caused them to oscillate from side to side, as tbey bad done hundreds of times before, when similarly disturb ed. He watched the lamps, and thought he perceived that while the oscilliations were diminish ing they still occupied the same time. The idea thus Suggested never departed from bis mind. and fifty years afterward be constructed the first pendulum, and thus gave to the world one of tbe most important instruments for the measurement of time. Afterward, when living at Venice, it was reported to him one day that the children of a poor spectacle-maker while playing with two glasses bad observed, a they expressed it, that things were brought nearer by looking through ttem in a certain position. Every body said bow curious, but Galileo seized tbe idea and invented tbe first telescope. Population of the World. The population of the globe bas been general ly estimated at seven hundred millions of human beings. Recently the estimate has been increas ed to one thousand millions.

' Oh, Mr. President, it does seem to me, if hell itself could yawn aud vomit up the fiends that inhabit its penal abodes, commissioned to disturb the harmony of this world, and dash the fairest prospect of happiness that ever allured the hopes of men, the first step in the consummation if tbis diabolical purpose would be to light up the fires of internal war, and plunge tbe sister States of this Union into the bottomless gulf of civil strife. CorwuSa Speech on Vie Mexican War. Dear Col: I have not qnoted these choice b-ts of literature without an orject. They form the substratum of what I wish to relate. If you have read the Globe referred to, you will confess with us that Oberlin is great, and Blake is its prophet! He has gone and done it 1 He has. rubbed off the dust iu the Republican household, and even the varnish from tbe furniture. What is ebony is apparent ; what is mahogany is apparent. I knew it would come: and Blake was the Avatar t Hosannahs to Blake! Before I tell you how it was done, let me tell you first that there is a difference between Blake persoual and Blake political. The person Blake, is a mild manne:ed. sallow com plexioned, dark hair ed, anxious-eyed member. He has a disposition every way amiable. He loves those next to him a great deal better than he show. He loves the human race in the abstract not a whit ; but he think he does, lie is A standing commentary on himself. Accommodating, auiet. unobtrusive. yet observant, be is too good tiatored to be a reformer and ton yielding 1 1 be a leader. If be had been born in Texas, he would have made a kind master ta slaves. But as be was nursed in the CTVVf)rt,ondr.OUbol!tionBedlam called to tetters, be has turied up tn Congress as the champion of the human race and the praetical(?) friend of the dark places of the wide earth I But Mr. Blake has not been here long enough. He would have been broken in, if he had served one session more. Fe don't pull; he balks. In-S'ead of going along the road with blinds On, as even Lovejoy doe now, he Mops over the traces, unpleasantly disarranges tbe swingle tree, and snjs aud starts in the most unaccountable way. Ho he catches it from the Republican roadsters ! What k! crack! snaj.f Over the ears with the butt; under the belly band with ibe silk; about tbe haunches with the whip. Alas for Biakel Why should he be so cuffsd and wooled? I ask it seriously, because he wa the only mau who this session of the Republican party has thrown off the wrap rascal of hypocrisy. He has sat here for months; be has beard the Republicans talk whoppers as if they Were truths. He saw aud beard men whom he knew were in Congress solely by sectional agitation against slavery, not only in States, territories, but in the universe men who desired intervention in Congress to bring about the anarchical waves on which they floated into office, chawiotr and trmm m j I, -swallowing their words as if they were fit to ea! He saw men who were elected us Sectional Abolitionists trying to; appear National I He saw the tactics to ignore Cliae, Snward aud the abo litiou leaders. He would Lave no hvDocritical Bates. He was sick of milk. He wanted strong meat, lie would have thelaggage men fight in front, or quit the ranks. lie was determined to light a baule fire at the mouth of the cave throw on dead leaves and damp sticks, musty straw and a trifl of asofoelita. He thought he would play Pelissier, and thus smoke the political Arabs outi Didn't he do it? . Bare Blake I It was awkwardly done, I admit. When he saw the Arabs rushing out, stifled and choakine, faint and nauseate, he tried to put out the fire and stop the smoke. He tried to withdraw bis fire brand resolution. But it was too late. It was so awkwardly done. Tbe stamp of au awkward man on a gouty toe, does not express it. The fellow who, in absence of mind, pocketed the table cloth for his haukerchiefit a royal "breakfist, and never found out hia mistake till the croi-kery lay in rattling smash-up around bis heels was inno cent compared to Blake. A sailor on horse back a land lubber off Cane Hatteras a Turk in French pantaloons a Chinese without his pig tall a United States Marshal in Oberlin are reasonable specimens of awkward predicaments. Bat Blake ba achieved the awkward Dolitical sublime'l His resolution was not merely inelegant, rude, bungling, and clumsy; but it was the combination of all the essences which make up the unpleasant draughts of political awkward ness. And all be did was to offer the honest resolution and preamble prefied to ibis letter! Ae tried to carry out , what his party preached. tie nas even a one wnat you once said Ihe Republicans ia Congress dared not do. offered a hill to repeal the Fogitive Slave Law ! Glorv to Blake! .,-" " . . J , . When Blake thus tramped on the tender toes. rather sensitive shins of the ReDublirana. the House was as demure a a. foreign attache in Washington saloon where there is no French poke or Lancers dancing.

"" "" r. no the resolution was rejected. . i- But the backing and filling, and squirming , and dodging and runninc cannot be pencilled. . Birds never sought pairs in spring with more amative cooing ard wooing. Republicans dallied with their bills around American bills; and the sweet disport went on, until the lovely pairs-retired to drink! .-Vigilant members on the Republican side were taken with sudden and extraordinary, cholics. Measels and mumps broke out in the families of Republican members.. What is strange was, that the conservative Bates . branch of the Republican partnership were seiz ed more suddenly and with more urgent cramps with the raging epidemic. The Lovejoys and-Adamses aud Dawes and Edgerton were ready to answer from healthy lungs the "Aye1- for,-Oberlin and B'ake. Others, however, were bar-rassed with laryngitis, bronchitis and even quick consumption. Oh! it was terible to respond under such pulmonary difficulties! While the roll was" calling, the Republican . leaders put their bead's together. Some swore. Curtis said he woudn't vote. Old Th add ens Stevens said "if the Fool Killer came along, there would be another vacancy beside Spink's, . and f"r;frJdoike Ot-erlin blacker than ever." Sherman was women ; iur iw suit.Keu- him to the suffocation point. Stanton was away; and Corwin in Connectieut denying that such things are in bis party which Blake ijust bringing out! Trimble .flew the track ; voted No ! Tompkins never said "how do you do" once ; but bolted, that is, swallowed the resolution, like a boa. "Wben he meanders down the Muskingum valley, wou't there be running out to sea what makes him staod out so big! Bingham, never smiled ; but grimly went it. It was indifferent to him. Hutchins, Edgerton, and Carey they rolled it as a sweet morsel. Sherman trade a show of biting the preamble; but it was a poo flanh in the pan. -The resolution had fallen in spite of hia vote, and the preamble fell with it. He "and his sixty Helper's had no chance to trim. He had voted to instruct the : committee to hurry op the inflammation.
