COI.. VBLI/8 FIRST C OURT.
When Col Arch'd. Yell, afterwards killed at
the battle of Buena Vista, had taken his seat
for the first time upon the bench, the first ease
upon the docket was colled and the plaintiff
was ready. It was a case that had been in
litigation for five years. General Smoot rose
for the defendant, and remarked in an Over
bearing tone:
“Our witnesses are absent, and therefore I
demand that the case may be continued until
the next term in courst."
“ Let the affidavit be filed, for not until
then can I entertain a motion for a continu
ance,” replied the Judge.
“ Do you doubt my words as to the facts?”
General Smoot exclaimed sharply, and invol
untarily raising bis huge cane.
*' Not at all,” replied the Judge, with bis
blandest smile, “ but tbo law requires that
the facts justifying a continuance must ap
pear on record, and the court has no power to
annul a law, nor any will to see it annulled.”
The Judge's cairn and business-like tone
and manner only served to irritate the bully,
i anil he retorted, shaking his sword-cane in the
I direction of the bench :
| “ Whatever may be the law*, I, for one, will
not learn it from the lips of an upstart dema
gogue and a coward.”
Judge Yell’s blue eyes shot lightning, but he
only turned to the clerk and' coolly said :
, “ Clerk, you will enter a fine of fifty dollars
against General Smoot, as I see him named
upon my docket for gross contempt of court,
and be sure you issue an immediate execu
tion.”
He had just communicated the order, when
General Smoot was seen rushing towards him,
brandishing his sword-cane, all his features
bespeaking murderous wrath. Every glance
was fixed on the countenance of the Judge,
for all wished to know how he would break
tbo coming of the duelist’s fierce assault. But
none, however, could detect the slightest
change in his appearance. His cheek grew
neither red nor white, nor did a nerve seem to
tremble—his calm eye surveyed the advan
cing foe with as little perturbation as a chemist
might show scrutinizing the effervescence of
some novel mixture. Ho sat perfectly still,
with a little stuff of painted iron in his hand.
Smoot ascended the platform and immediately
aimed a tremendous blow' at the head of his
foe. At that blow the hearts of all the assem
bled spectators shuddered, and full a dozen
voices shrieked, all expecting to see the vic
tim’s skull shivered to atoms. The general as
tonishment may then be conceived, when they
TEK M 8 : FIVE DOLLARS PER ANNUM. IN ADVANCE.
beheld the little iron staff describe a quick
curve, as the great sword-cane flew from j
! General Smoot’s fingers, ami fell with a loud
clatter at the distance of twenty feet in the
| hall. The baffled ruffian uttered a cry of
wrath, as wild as that of some wounded beast
of prey, and snatched his bowie-knife from its
sheath ; but ere it was poised for the desper
ate plunge, the little iron staff cut another
curve, and the big knife followed the sword
cane. He then hastily drew' a revolving pistol
but before he had time to touch the trigger,
his arm was struck powerless by hissiJ**. And ,
then, for Hy* f, rs t time, did Judge Yell betrjjy
' perceptible emotion. He stamped his foot nn
-1 til the platform shook beneath him, and shout
! ed in a trumpet tone ;
: “ Mr. Clerk, you will blot out this ruffian’s
| name from the roll of Attorneys foul dis
grace to the bar. Mr. Sheriff, take the crimi
-1 nal to jail.”
The latter officer sprang to obey the man
date, and Immediately a scene of confusion en
j sued which no pen can describe. The bravos
and niynnidom friends of General Smoot
gathered around to obstruct the sheriff, while
j many of the citizens lent their aid to sustain
I the authority of the court. Menaces, horrid
I curses and screams, the ringing of impinging
and crossing steel, the alternate cries of rage
i and pain, all commingled with the awful ex*
I plosion of fire arms, blended together a vivid
I idea of Pandemonium. But throughout all the
i tempestuous struggle, two individuals might
Ibe observed as leaders of the storm. The
! new* Judge used his little iron cane with terri
i bio efficiency, crippling limbs, yet sparing life.
Bill Buffura, imitating the clemency of his lion-
I ored friend, disdained the use of either knife or
pistol, actually trampled and crushed down all
opposition, roaring at every furious blow;
| “This is the way to preserve order in court!”
■ a sentiment which he accompanied with wild
peals of laughter. In less than two minutes,
• the parly of the Judge triumphed, the clique of
| General Smoot suffered a disastrous defeat,
1 and the bully himself was borne away to
1 prison.
Such was (he debut of Archibald Yell, in
| Arkansas; and from that day bis popularity
i as a man, a Judge, as a hero, and as a politi
oisn, went un lapidiy increasing, till, eclipsing
the oldest and most powerful names, it set on
; the bloody eve of Buena Vista.
I The Aged Lover.—“ No longer a lover !”
exclaimed an aged pair arch; “ah you mis
take me if you think age has blotted out my
heart. Though silver hairs fall over a brow
all wrinkled, and a cheek all furrowed, yet I
am a lover still. I love the beauty of the
maiden’s blush, the soft tint of flowers, the
singing of birds, and, above all, the silvery
laugh of a child. I love the star like meadows
where the butter cups grow, with almost the
same enthusiasm ns when, with the ringlets
Hying loose in tin* wind, and my cap in hand,
years ago, I chased the painted butterfly. I
love yon aged damo. Look at hor. Her face
is care-worn, but it h*s ever held a smile for
me. Often hive I shared the bitter cup of
sorrow with her and so shared, it almost
teemed sweet. Years of sickness have sto
len the freshness of life; but, like the faded
rose, the perfume of her love, is richer than
when in the full bloom of youth and maturity.
Together wo have placed flowers in the case
ments, and folded hands of the dead ; together
wept over little graves. Through sunshine and
storms we have clung together; now she sits
with her knitting, her cap quaintly frilled, the
old style kerchief crossed, white and prim,
above the heart that has beat so long and
truly for me, the dim blue eye that shrinking
ly fronts the glad day ; the sunlight, throwing
her a parting farewell, kisses her brow, and
leaves upon its faint tracery of wrinkles, an
gelic radiance. I see, though no one else can,
the bright, glad young face that won me first,
and the glowing love of 40 years thrills my
heart till the tears come. Say not again 1 can
no longer be a lover. Though this form be
bowed, God implanted eternal love within.
Let the car be deaf, the eye blind, the hands
palsied, the limbs withered, the brain clouded
yet the heart, the true heart, may hold such
wealth of love, that all the pow’er of death
and the victorious grave shall not be able to
put out quenchless flame.
Fooling iiis House.—“ 1 engaged,” says a
traveller, “a chaise at Galway, to conduct me
some few miles into the country, and had not
proceeded far when wo pulled up at the foot
of a hill, and the driver coming to the door,
opened it. What are }'OU at man? this isn’t
where I ordered you to stop,” said I.
“Whist, your honor, whit?” ejaculated
Faddy, “ I’m only desaving the baste. If I
bang the door he’ll think you’re out, and’ll cut i
up hill like the very divil,”
A gentleman, of Alabama, was lying

From the Sucriunento Union.
I.atrr from Cnreon Valley »«<1 *•»«* P , * ,nl,
Placeuvu-lk, Aug. 80—8 r. u.
By the arrival of several emigrant trains
! just in, wo have later and important news from
the Plains. The names of those arrived are
J. W. Borland, wife and family, Wm. King,
, wife and family, George Berry, Mrs. Moore
and two sons, Richard Choud, Ira Burget, R.
' Dieper, W. Adams, C. Darin, W. Risking, A.
Taswell, D. Bowling, J. B. Mather, A. Lyons,
Win. Hughes, J. T. Wright, Albert Lawson,
Andrew Lawson, J. T. Burnett and son.
Mr. Burnett brings the intelligence of the
massacre of a whole train, consisting of six men
and three children. One woman was shot
through and scalped, and left for dead, but
was found still alive by those who came up
first She is not expected to live. She is
being brought into Carton Valley by Round-
I tree's train.
The stock was also recovered from the In
: dians, in doing which only one Indian was
killed. The stock is in charge of Roundtree’s
train—lso head.
only names my informant recollects
among the killed were those of Ilalloway and
his brother-in-law. The three children were
murdered by those fiends before the face of
1 their parents, and horribly mutilated.
The emigrants to a man, are willing to join
a company to exterminate the fiends. Ihey
are all of the opinion that it will yet be six
weeks before the emigrants all pass that local
ity, ami begin to express their indignation that
no move is being or has been made to organ
ize a force here, it being only three hundred
miles beyond Genoa.
Nine tenths of the emigrants would volun
teer, that are daily arriving in Carson Valley.
Three men had been murdered at Gravelly
Ford since our last accounts. Their names
were John Everhart, John Steen and John
Lawhoy. Everhart had been traveling with
Mr. Bennett’s train, but left to pack in with
another company.
The second day after leaving, some Sho-
Swawnoe Indians wanted to trade a pony for
a rifle. Ever hart handed the gun to one of
the Indians, who immediately shot Steen with
it. He ab**, *.-ing aiiucu, iney rode oti a short
distance and shot Everhart and Lawboy. The
other present succeeded in making his escape.
This murder took place at the head of the
canon beyond Gravelly Ford.
Burgett and Dicker found what was sup
posed to he the body of Brown, one of the
three traders heretofore reported killed. His
scalp was torn from his head, and he was shot
through the loft arm, and the hall probably
touched his heart. Their names were Brown
and Jones. One of the Jones’ lived in Car
son Valley, where his father now owns a
ranch. They found this body two days after
Buster’s men. One of Buster’s men told one
of the above that they drank $7 worth of
whisky at the post before they went in search
of the Indians. Suspicion rests upon certain
parties in reference to the accidental shooting
of one of Buster’s men, as before reported.—
After they had shot the Indian, ho remarked
to one emigrant, who is now near this city,
that he had a presentiment that he was to be
foully dealt with before reaching Carson Val
ley.
My informant says hardly any questions
were asked in reference to the accidental shot
by which the man was killed ; but few regrets
were expressed by the one who fired the fatal
shot. Time will have to remove the mystery
as to the cause of the murder of the traders.
There have also arrived here twelve men
from Kirk's party. They left the train on the
Humbolt, at which place sixteen of his men
left. They are of the opinion that it will be
almost Impossible for the emigration to travel
the Honey Lake route, on account of the scar
city of both feed and water. They were three
days crossing one desert, without a spear of
grass for their stock.
Kirk has lost the best of his stock from
the Alkali, and they were still giving out.—
Kirk would still push ahead.
A Persevering Lover. — A young lady,
possessed of beauty, accomplishments, and
having $45,000 in hard cash on deposit in St.
Louis, started recently on a trip to New York
