Fatal duel.

--A correspondent of the Columbus Times, writing from Charleston, says:

‘ "A duel was fought near here on the 5th, between Col. W. Ransom Calhoun, Commander at Fort Sumter and a nephew of the great John C., and Major Rhett, son of Barnwell Rhett, which resulted in the death of the former. Col. Calhoun graduated at West Point in 1850, and ranked high as a military leader. Major Rhett is much esteemed and should be continue in the army, rises to the place made vacant by the death of Col. Calhoun, both being in the same regiment. "
