New Yorg, Jon. f.—The gencral Impression thiat nobody was hurt in the Bennett-May duel hos led to the general expression that the affalr was a farce In threc shots. Indecd, there scems o be considerable disappointment at so tame a concluslon of what was expected to bringabout a trazedy. Both princlpals will have to stand no eud of banter, unless Bennett sails for Europe to-morrow, as it Is eald he intends to. The the- orles are that tho seconds used bl artridges, or that the partles were too scared to shoot stralght. Certaln It fs that, as both were Kood shote, somcthing huppened out of the usunl order. A Thner speclal from Marydell, Md., contains the following AROUT THE DUEL: # The host'le meoting oceurred on the farm of Mr. Murray, o New York lawger, at 1 ofclock yesterdag, A mistake In the bearings cansed ke contest to take place n Margland, though the fntention was to have it in Dela- ware, Bennett left New York Sunday evening, accompanfed by 8.

The others went on to Wilaing- ton, which they reached ut 9 yesterday morning, Here tickets were bought for Easton, Ta., but the party left the train at Marydell and started scross the country on foot in the dl- rection of the Delaware State line, as they snp- posed, They wero jolned at Margdell by Mdy and Ns sccond, Dr. Frederick May, of Baltlmore, who drove up In a sleigh from the dircction of Wilmington. They walked south on the raflroad track about amile, and then turncd to the left and crossed over aamall hill into a glade which separates the Chaptauk River from the road. Ilere A BIOT WAS SELECTED, the ground measured, and the combatants placed in position fuce to face at twenty paces. The seconds loaded the pistols, gave them to the principals, and, after the usual prelimi- naries, ordered “ Fire,” There was a single re- port, and, when the smoke gm\md away, both men were standing unhurt.” Two more shots were exchanged with ke result. Then the sce- onds interfered and an amlcable scttlement was effected. The :May party deported to- ward Dover fn . thelr sleigh, while the Benmett purty walked to Slaugh- ter Statlon and lired a specinl traln for Philadclphia. Doth parties were in bhigh spirits at tho happy outcome of the affalr, Ben- nett nsked his companions scveral thnes If he ad erred In any of bis propozals to the other slde, and was told lie had not.” Another speclal gives an account of the duel as told by A PAIMER WHO WITNEESED IT at a short distance, snd who testified to the same elfcct as above.

Thero was no evidence of a fall, no trace of gore, and the FOOT-PRINTS WERE PLAINLY LEPT IN THE aNOW, During the progress to Philadelphis one of the Bennett party proposed to stop at Wilming- ton, but another declared for grolng through to Philadelphia and moking ® uight of ft, which they did.

THE PARMEN'S TALE, Now Yong, Jan, §.-—The Zimes' special from Marydell, Md., gives the following account by an eye-witness of the Dennett-May duel: 4 A uelghborinz farmer wno chauced to witness the arrival of the duclinz party says thoe gentlemen walked lewsurely alung until toey reached u stone supposed to mark tho bouud- ury line between the two States, and then stopped.

They had with them also maps of the Peninsula, and to several partics they reportea themselves as hunterson a guoning expedition, and such was the privacy of the whole affalr that thesc statements wero belleved In the nelghborhood. Mr. Bennett’s face showed a scar which was much swollen, probably by cold. TILE SCENE OF TILR MEETING was o short distanze frora the line of the Mary- land & Delaware Rallrond. Three shots were fired, without injury to either of the princl- pals, after which the entire party left the grounds.
