Our readers will find in another column, an
‘article from the Boston Atlas, which furnishes
some additional particulars "concerning the late
duel, and most conclusively shows that if there
was any “ conspiracy to intirder an innocent fel-
low being,” who were the conspirators, and who
-was i1i.!3:nded for the victim. The New York

the facts which are already before the public, in

~ "We are indebted to an occasional correspon-
dent for the‘ following interesting‘ and authentic
account of the duel between Messrs. Cilley and
Graves :— *
_ VVAsmNo'roN, Feb. 26,1838.
THE PARTICULARS on THE DUEL.
The facts -in relation to the duel between Mr.
Graves of,Kentucke_v, and Mr. Cilley, of Maine,
are beginning to become known, but as might be
expected, it great many contradictory rumors
are in circulation.
I have authentic _S0ttl‘cCS of lnformingion no;
generally accessible ; undI tvll‘, give you a brief
history ofthe .affuir._
Vvllell Ml“ Graves, took the cliallcnge ofCol.
Webb to Mr. Cilley, they had a. long con-
Ycrsatioti together in perfectly friendly tertns.
tVIr. Cilley declined receiving the note of Col.
\Vebb, stating that he was not answerable for
words spokenin dt-bate. Mr. Graves asked if
that was all, and whether he made any exceptions
to the character and standing of the challenger’!
Mr. Cilley replied, that he made none ; but re-
lied on his privilege as a member of the Houst'.‘_-'2
Mr.‘Graves said that was perfectly propr r, and
he had nothing to object to it ; and at the same
time he reminded Mr. Cilley of the propriety
of having this answer in writing. For this end
ting the conversation above stated, and request-
ing Mr. Ci Icy to say, iftliose were not his rea-
sons for declining to accept the challenge. Mr.
Cilley replied, agreeiiig to the correctness ofthe
statement, as to his ii_iteiition of relying upon
his privilege ; but as to the statement respecting
Col. VVcbh, declined either to admit or deny it.
Upon this Mr. Graves addressed another note to
Mr. Cilley, informing him that his first answer
was not satisfactory ; and requesting him to be
more explicit as to that part of their conversa-
tion respecting Col. Webb. Mr. Cilley return-
ed an answer decliniiiing to make any further
explanation, and expressed an unwillingness to
be catecliised upon that point. All this occur-
red on Thursday. On Friday, Mr. Graves
wrote a challenge to Mr. Cil.ey and gave it to
Mr. Wise to deliver. Mr. Wise retained it
the greater part of Friday forenoon, taking care,
however, to let Mr. Cilley know tliata challenge
was to come, but giving him an opportunity to
make further explanations if he saw proper.
Aboutiioon the cliallange Wils delivered.
It was accepted late on Friday evening. The
time, place and weapons were in the choice of
M:-. Cilley, and lie selected rifles, at eighty
yards distance, for the weapon, noon the next
day as the time, and for the place a spot in
M.-trylantl, ncar Rock Creek. Mr. Graves,-
tliougli he was not accustomed totlie use of
the rifle,--agreed to these terms, provided he
could obtain it rifle in t.iine.
The whole tl:ty on Friday, Mr Cilley, in coni-
pttlly with his friends, was engaged in practicing
with the rifle. He is said,to have used one be-
longing to Mr. Duncan of Ohio, who is a great
shot, and who was one of the chief advisers in
this matter. Mr. Cillev was an e'xccllcnt marks-
man. His success in firing at a mark on Fri-
day was very great, for it is said that he repeat-
ctlly hit, at eighty yards, the size ofa dollar.
His friends were elated with his skill, and flat-
t.cretl him with the idea, that he would certainly
kill liisiopponent at the first fire.
Meanwhile, Mr. Graves and his friends were
busily employed all Friday evening in hunting
upa rifle to be used the next day. But this
was aweapoii not easy to be found, and they
continued their search, with so litle success, the
next day, that in the morning they found them
selves obliged to send a. note to the friends of
Mr. Cilley, informing them that it might be
necessary to postpone the meeting.
This was immediately construed by the friends
ofMr. Cilley into a. backing out on the part of
Mr. Graves, and reports to that effect were im-
mt.-di t ~ly circulated. About 10 o’cl rck, pro-
bably by way of taunt or bravado, Mr. Wise,
the friend of Mr. Graves, received two notes ten-
deriog him the use of two rifles, if he could ob-
tain none elsewhere and it is said, that Mr.
Duncan waited upon Mr. VVise in person, with
a rifle in his hand, ofwhicli he tendered the. use,
declaring it to be equally as good as that of Mr.
Cilley. This oflicious anxiety of Mr. Cilley’s
friends to procure a weapon for Mr. Graves,
came to his ears, and rather than -break his
appointment, lie finally accepted the loan of a
rifle from Mr. Rives, of the firm of Blair &.
Rives, editors and publishers ofthe Globe. The
lock of this rifle proved, however, on trial, to be
so out of order, that, on their way to the ground,
they were obliged to stop and have it operated
upon by a blacksmith. .
Mr. Graves was attended by Mr. Wise of
Virginia, Mr. Menifee of Kentucky, and some
of his friends ; Mr. Cilley was attended by Mr.
Jones of Wisconsin, Mr. Duncan of Ohio, who
acted both as second and surgeon, and by Mr.
Schomberg, famous for having fought a duel on
norseback with broatlswords, at New Orleans.
After the first or second fire, a parley took
place. Mr. Wise announced to the opposite par
ty that the challenge was withdrawn, and liecal-
led upon Mr. Cilley to say something as ajusti-
Iication to Mr. Graves in withdrawing Mr.
Cilley retired and consulted with his friends,
and finally proposed to say, that be had, and
always had an entire respect for Mr, Graves,
but that he retracted and would retract nothing,
as regarded Col. Webb. Mr. VVise entreated
Mr. Cilley and his friends to withdraw that
part of his. statement. which related to Col.
\Vebb. If he would confine himself to that
part of it which related to Mr. Graves, it would
be perfectly satisfactory ; but with‘ this implied
insult in it to his friend Col. Webb, it would be
impossible for Mr. Graves to accept it. This
point was urged with great zeal by the friends
of Mr. Graves; but Mr. Cilley after retiring
again, and consulting with his friends, positive-
ly refused to modify this statement in the small-
est degree. The firing was then renewed.g—
There seems to be a tnost remarkable difference
of opinion among the spectators, whether the
parties fired three or four rotinds. It is agreed,
however, that Mr Cilley fired once more than
Mr. Graves; as at one fire, Mr. Graves’s rifle
caught. in his coat before he brought it to a level,
and he missed the fire altogether.
It is said that Mr. Cilley, in the progress of
the affair, consulted freely and frequently with
Mr. Benton of the Senate.* It is also said that
the greatest confidence was entertained by Mr.
Cilley’s friends, that he would kill Mr. Graves at
the first fire. Theylooked upon him as a doom-
ed man. Mr. Cilley is said to have acted with
great coolness and deliberation, and to'_have tak-
en avery steady aim. In all probability, noth-
ing saved the life of Mr. Graves except the high
wind, which made it impossible for the -most
practiced marksman to hold a. rifle at arm’s
length perfectly steady. Mr. Cilley is thought
to have shared in the confidence of his friends,
and it is reported. that the last sentence he ut-
tered was an exclamation to his second, just
previous to the last ,fire,—“I will bring him
"this time !”—Boston Atlas.
* Tliis Mr. Benton has since denied.
he accordingly wrote a note to Mr. Cilley, reci-.

that body by Ministers.
“ The mode atid amount ofpreparation." says
the London Times, “for whatever adventitious
dangers may be expected to grow out of the com-
motion in our provinces will. we trust. be mea-
surcd by that principle so em pliatically laid down
by the Duke of Wellington in the House of
Lords—viz. that when England prepares for
war. her Government must remember that “so
great a country cannothave. a little war ;" not
merely ought a great "country to arm herself for
war on a scale that shall make her dreaded, but
England, above all other countries, ought to act
like one who has no friends, which hasjealous,
rancorous. and watchful enemies in many quar-
ters, and points weak and vtiltierable over the
whole world, inviting their attacks on the first
promising opportunity. The Duke of VVelling-
ton with equal force and justice laid down as
another maxim that we ought to insure not
alone a certain, but a Spcctltj triumpli—that our
latetit tbougli well known enemies may not
have time allowed them to accumulate hostile
tneans, or concert hostile measures ; btit before
they cati move a fleet or battalion..find that the
occasion has slipped away from them, for that

settled, and for the tnost part, its inhabitants
able and willing to pay their debts. Said slant!

coast, with good roads leading to the either;
and alsof within about two and a half miles of
the Steamboat Landing at the Old \Vell. A
store has been in operation there, or near there
for the last twelve years, and consequently a
good share of patronage is already obtained.-
The subscriber wishing to engage in other busi-

stock of Goods. consisting of a small assortment
ofDr_v Goods and Groceries, which have mostly
been pnrcltasetl at the present low prices ofsuch

one of that character. Possession may he had
