The same number of the “Darien Telegraph,” from which the preceding is taken, contains a correspondence between six individuals, settling the preliminaries of duels.  The correspondence fills, with the exception of a dozen lines, five columns of the paper.  The parties were Col.  W. Whig Hazzard, commander of one of the Georgia regiments in the recent Seminole campaign, Dr. T.F.  Hazzard, a physician of St. Simons, and Thomas Hazzard, Esq. a county magistrate, on the one side, and Messrs. J.A.  Willey, A.W.  Willey, and H.B.  Gould, Esqs. of Darien, on the other.  In their published correspondence the parties call each other “liar,” “mean rascal,” “puppy,” “villain,” &c.

The magistrate, Thomas Hazzard, who accepts the challenge of J.A.  Willey, says, in one of his letters, “Being a magistrate, under a solemn oath to do all in my power to keep the peace,” &c., and yet this personification of Georgia justice superscribes his letter as follows:  “To the Liar, Puppy, Fool, and Poltroon, Mr. John A. Willey” The magistrate closes his letter thus: 

“Here I am; call upon me for personal satisfaction (in propria forma); and in the Farm Field, on St. Simon’s Island, (Deo juvante,) I will give you a full front of my body, and do all in my power to satisfy your thirst for blood!  And more, I will wager you $100, to be planked on the scratch! that J.A.  Willey will neither kill or defeat T.F.  Hazzard.”

The following extract from the correspondence is a sufficient index of slaveholding civilization.

“ARTICLES OF BATTLE BETWEEN JOHN A. WILLEY AND W. WHIG HAZZARD.

“Condition 1.  The parties to fight on the same day, and at the same place, (St. Simon’s beach, near the lighthouse,) where the meeting between T.F.  Hazzard and J.A.  Willey will take place.

“Condition 2.  The parties to fight with broad-swords in the right hand, and a dirk in the left.

“Condition 3.  On the word “Charge,” the parties to advance, and attack with the broadsword, or close with the dirk.

“Condition 4.  THE HEAD OF THE VANQUISHED TO BE CUT OFF BY THE VICTOR, AND STUCK UPON A POLE ON THE FARM FIELD DAM, the original cause of dispute.

“Condition 5.  Neither party to object to each other’s weapons; and if a sword breaks, the contest to continue with the dirk.

“This Col.  W. Whig Hazzard is one of the most prominent citizens in the southern part of Georgia, and previously signalized himself, as we learn from one of the letters in the correspondence, by “three deliberate rounds in a duel.”

The Macon (Georgia) Telegraph of October 9, 1838, contains the following notice of two affrays in that place, in each of which an individual was killed, one on Tuesday and the other on Saturday of the same week.  In publishing the case, the Macon editor remarks:
