AUGUST 7, 1 THE DUBL: Or how the Irishman tristed the \Yankee's _, Honor. - In olden times. when that venerated citi- zen, 'the widest inhabitant,' was but a young one, and the extensive country we now in- habit was but slightly fenced in, and when Indians were much thicker than blackberries: out of season, General Wayne was sent ogt west withan army to wipe off the disgrace of St. Clair's defeat, and to give peace to the law settlers in what was then called the wilds of Ohio, s M The old general made his hoad-quarters Graefwillefin Darke county. Among those appointed to office in that army of the west. yonder room. Every eyeis centered on «he } was a Heatonanot. from Yenkee lamd;-with all arrogance and self-conceit of the worst speci- mon-of New Englanders, without any of the good qualities of the better class. This Yan- kee Lieutenant was diepised by those under him, and disliked for his and self- conceit by his equals. 'To his superiors in command he was a sycophant, and delighted in making mischief and making quarrels whenever he could do so with safety. Confined in the fort, and prevented from roaming the forest to any great distance by the Indian scouting parties which were in the vicinity of Wayne's head-quarters, the officers became troubled with that disease enil- ed by the French ennai, but to the 'American reuders better known as the blo devils-n disease that begets all sorts of quarrels, nnd duelling became a favorite pratime with the officers, and following the example, the men. would not unfrequently take a shot at each ather. In all these quarrels, our Yankee Lieutenant was the instigator, though ns yet he managed to keep his skirts clear. . - Against the practice ol deeling, the'lawe of war, as proclaimed in 'general order,\ were severe; yet in these affaire of honor, up to the time of which this sketch treats, no notice wos taken of thein, in the camp there was an frishman named O'Brien, who in a fit of piqug at his rejection by a lass of his own Green Iste, had enlisted. Like hig countrymen, he was generous. and a little fond of the 'eraythuc. As & soldier, he was brave, and for his courage and good conduct he had risen from the raoke to a first wergeancy. One day Sergeant O'Brien, with a party of men, was placed under the the '¥ankee Lieutenant, who for the want off bet- ter anme, L- will call Wendell, R work outside. of the\ fort. covered by the orders of the Lieutertiant, that Wendell was ignorant as how .it should be done; but, as usual wise in his own conceit, determined to have it periormed in his own way. O'Brien remonstrated. and the Licut- enant got mad, and ordered the 'confounded bog-trotting Irishman' to mind his own busi- nese. O'Brien mhde no reply but econ had ample revenge. The work progrexeed until the men asked O'Bgien for further directions. He referred them to the Lieutenant, who he said was * bors of the job' The Lieutenant knew not how to proceed, and O'Brien guessed as much. The Lieutenant turned on his heel and was about leaving, when a taunting Inugh from the Sergeant, with the exclamation that 'un owl with all his look of wisdom, was but a silly baste, after all,' arrested him. He turned, and with n cane he held in his hand, struck the sergeant across the shoul. dere. An instant scarce elapsed ere the phrensied Irishman with a heavy mattock in hand, sprung to the side of the terror-stricken Lieutenant. A couple of officers stepped to arrest the threatened blow. 'The enuee of the difficulty was stated. The officers were unantmove in the opion that the Lieutenant must waive rank and give the sergeant the satisfaction of r gentleman, or else take the chance with a court martial for the hiaw he had given. By the Blow he had placed him- self on a level with the Sergeant; and i| he refused to wnive rank, the officers hinted that it would bejustly chargeable to cownrdice. and hence hondrkbfe men could not resociate the charge of striking the Sergeant, and per- haps of exgulsion from the army. With a ruefal countenance the Lieutenant consen- ted. \ About three fourths of a mile below the junction of Greenville and Mud-Creek. and near the fort there was a bigh bluff. high for that part of the country, with a long strip of low land near the creek. This was the place and at daylight next morning the time for the eppointed duel. None but the parties were present. The early grey of moroing found O'Brien on the groand, armed with a musket Soon nough to distinguialt objects at ® distance, the Lieatenant, with slow step, was seenedranc ing to the place of meeting. .

The affrighted Lieutenant soor took his po- sition. - c 'My dear air, said Wendall, 'you mistake meventirely. Indeed you do! I waived rank to give the satisfaction of a gentleman, and now you oppose me with a musket, and re- fuse to allow me to come within pistol shot' \And if yeu had the musket, and L the little pistols, wooldn't you trate me just as I am you? said O'Brien. M *No! on my life, I would. give you equal \Devil trust \you rejoined O'Brien, 'for I won't? , ~ 'On any honor, Sergeant, I will treat you as a gentleman,and would take no advantage. ' Sure I believe ye spake the truth for once in your life,' eaid the Sergeant, 'and Ill try ye. Lay your pistol down on that log, and I'll fay my musket here, and we'll ewap, and Pll see if there's a spark of honor in your dir- ty nature.' The swap wae made by each party's lay- ing down his arms. and advancing to the other. They met midway, and ag they pass- ed O'Brien saw and marked the lurking devil in the eye of Wendell. and he replied to it by a glance of equal intelligence. 'Now you infernal Irish scoundrel, I've got you. Make your peace with God, if you have any, for in two iminutes you are a dead man.? © And after your promises, and me giving ye my musket, would ye shoot me 7 said O'- Brien. - no tos 7Yes,' thundered the lieutenant 'I shoot yeu IMte any other confounded dog that an- noyed me.' ’ 'Then shoot and b& hanged to ye,' said the sergant, 'for divil a bit of a load is in the ould thing! Back to the camp instantly, you lying. cowardly spaipeen. or by the holy Su. Patrick, I'll make short of ye, and wid your own pistols. Back, L say-not one word out of your ugly mouth, or I'll give you the contents of these, that you loaded and prepared to give me.' Caught in his own trap, foiled in his mur- derous intent, the lieutenant had to comply, und the officers on parade were astonished to see the crest-fallen lieutenant, with his head down. and O'Brien's emipty musket in his hand driven by the sergeant into camp. The lieutenant was never tried for his con- $1, to dof@@om@lduct but General Wayne permitted him to O'Brien £30ng Po s Tap. resign his commission, which he did that ve- ry duy. So much humiliated was he, and so much an object of pity, that the sergeant generously forgave him the blow. A few days afterwards he took advantage of a de- tachment going io the settlements, and loft the camp, and it was said he changed his name. But he was not forgotten, fur in Darke county the old settlers tell the tale of the Inst duel on the banks of the Greenville Creek. Soon after the close cf the war O'Brien seuled in Philadelphia, happy in the love of his own Norah, who in a fit of coguetry had rejected him. and in his old days the Joyful old man would tell the tale how he outwitted the Yankee. ei + dimes -- . --- Very Explicit.
