Sad result of a duel in play. --We are informed that on Saturday, two youths, one named Richard Dunlop, son of James Dunlop, the other Thomas Anderson, son of the late Frederick Anderson, instigated by a negro boy belonging to Dr. Coleman, fought a duel in play, the negro acting as second. By his direction, after stepping off ten paces, they turned and fired — young Anderson having a five-shooter and young Dunlop a pocket pistol. The latter fired first and missed, Anderson's pistol was then discharged, the ball entering his companion's stomach, just above the navel. A gentleman who came by the scene of combat conveyed young Dunlop home, where he now lies in a very dangerous condition, Dr. Snead having yesterday probed to the depth of over two inches, and found no traces of the ball. The lads were warm personal friends, aged — Anderson 10, and Dunlop 11 years. The little fellows shewed pluck in standing up to be shot at, but it is hardly probable they could have imagined what

A patriotic family. --Mr. Jos. K. Weisiger, of this city, has six sons in the Southern Army. Their average height is six feet two inches. Capt. Coleman's Company of Louisa Volunteers contains three sons of one gentleman of that county. There has not been, since the present difficulties commenced, any disposition to "hang fire" in meeting the issue by any portion of the loyal people of Virginia and her sister States. Even the women are "enthused" to a degree we never witnessed before, and we verily believe that if Providence were to ordain that all the men should be killed, our women would emulate those of Revolutionary fame by stepping into the ranks to drive out the scoundrels who now threaten our peace and quiet.
