A DUEL ON A LARGE SCALE.

A letter from Baden contains the following, which illustrates the state of feeling in the lesser German States:
“Last week 40 students arrived near the Castle of Durbach, near Offenburg, from Friburg, accompanied by a surgeon. They were armed with rapiers, and retired into the interior of a forest, where they selected a suitable spot for fighting duels on a large scale, 20 to 20. They fought for a long time, inflicting wounds on each other in the face and arms. One is said to have had his life endangered. What was the origin of this battle? Politics. 20 were for Austria and 20 for Prussia.”
