®lte JhirtrmiUc Jgmt . B. P. AVERY. EDITOR. SATURDAY, : : ;:: SEPT. 24, 1859 A Defence. —Duelling has found a defen der in the Standard\ which paper is “ much inclined to bold that the practice is not for bidden by the laws of God, and should not be by the laws of man.” The opinion is advanced that society is benefitted by the duello, that “ no community has ever been renowned for refinement and liberality in which the custom has not prevailed,” [the same thing may be assumed of an)- other crime,] and we are lett to infer that force and intimidation are the only means by which mankind can be made civil and kept so. By a violent perversion of terms the anti-duellist is called a non-resistant, and tire assertion ventured, that “if he would maintain his theory” (of non-resistance)- 1 he must burn all books of poetry and romance from Jack the Giant Killer to" Tennyson’s of the Six Hundred.’ ” Now we cannot sec what this brilliant, but insane and useless charge has to do with the ques tion of duelling. The Earl of Cardigan who led it was, to be sure, once tried by bis peers in the House of Lords for the crime ot duelling, and escaped conviction only by insufficiency of proof as to personal identi ty. His moral character was not above re proach before the duel, and this did not pu rify it, for in England, which is somewhat “renowned for refinement and liberality,” the code is not at all honored. The man who kills another in a duel is esteemed a murderer, and the British military officer who fight,., or sends or accepts a challenge to fight a duel, or offers an insult tantamount to provocation for a challenge, is broken from the service. With the exception of the Cardigan and Tuckett duel there has not been one in the British array since the fa mous meeting between Fawcett and Monroe, which terminated fatally to the former. Monroe was tried, convicted, sentenced to death and was waiting execution in New gate at the time of the Coronation of Queen Victoria. By an act of mercy usual on such occasions, all prisoners under sentence of death were pardoned by the young sove reign, and thus only did Monroe escape the penalty of his crime. In spite of this aver sion to the civilizing code Great Britain con trives to get along somehow, waxing more ** refined and liberal” every year; and in our humble opinion California will never be Jik-c her until she also frowns upon the duello and punishes severely those who dare practice it. Colored Photographs. —From a state ment in the London Art Journal it appears that two European artists, Bccqucrel and Niepce by name, have actually succeeded in producing photographic copies of nature in' colors, perfect in all respects, save that the tints were fleeting. It is thought the difficulties of impressing the colors are so great as to render the desideratum, improb able, but the French operators continue their experiments, and may possibly be suc cessful. In this age of steam navigation, railroads, electric telegraphs, submarine ca bles, balloon trips and tight rope perform ances over Niagara, it does not become an intelligent man to scoff at anything as an impossibility until it is proved so. We ven ture to hope the day may come when old Sol will not only take our portraits, as he has been taught to do by Daguerre,. Brewster, Morse and others, but will also paint them for us after life—stamping the very blush and vermeil hue of beauty in per manent tints for the admiration of posterity. Ax Editor is Trouble. —Forbes, of the Sierra Democrat , was called a liar by one Ty ler, and attempted to strike him therefor, but was prevented by the crowd. He after wards met him and gave him one blow. Ty ler met him with a pistol, subsequently, and told him to draw, which he did, but shoot ing was prevented by bystanders. Several days afterwards Tyler demanded “ satisfac tion” for the blow he had received, as lie stated, “ unaware and behind his back.” Forbes denied the correctness of this state ment and refused to entertain a challenge until it was made to conform to- facts- Ty- Ifcr meanwhile had left town, his challenge was peremptory, his second loft without any discretion in the matter, the statement as to the circumstances of the blow was not cor rected, and thus no duel came off; much to our “satisfaction”, if not to that of Forbes and Tyler. More Trouble in China.— The peaceful settlement that was about to be effected be tween England and China was interrupted, on the 24th of June, by a fatal mistake. The British Minister attempted to sail np the Peiho to Pekin with a large fleet, for the purpose of concluding pending negotiations. The river was barred across by iron stakes and booms, which the English proceeded to remove in sight of some Chinese forte. This movement drew a heavy and remarkably skillful fire upon them, the object of the fleet being evidently misconstrued into a hostile one by those in charge of the forts. The English lost about five hundred men and were compelled to retire. It was not known at last advices what would be the result of this unfortunate affair. The San Francisco papers are urging the project of erecting a monument to Broderick on the Plaza. One will probably be erected over his remains at Lone Mcmtain Cemetery. HUMANITY VS. HONOR Although every journal throughout the State has given earnest expression of opin ion on the subject of dueling, and although the public may have grown somewhat weary of the theme, we should be false to our con victions of duty did we not utter one more protest against a practice that we consider barbarous, unrighteous and absurd. Over of Gilbert,Ferguson and Broderick we make an appeal for our modern humanity against the bloody relic of a savage past— for the gentleness of civilized manhood against the foolish code that would level us again with brutes. We repel with scorn and loathing the hateful idea, still entertained by 100 many and sought to be defended by some, that an upright and noble man can protect his reputation against mendacity, envy or intemperate rage only by making a murderer of himself or of his fellow ! It is a monstrous absurdity that a pure character can be kept so in certain contingencies, only by a compromise with assassination! It. is the weakest of all arguments in favor of du eling, to say that it protects tiie feeble against the strong—that it makes every gentleman the vindicator of his own honor —that it secures against insult, and does for the preservation of refinement in society what nothing else could ever do. The good sense of this intelligent age laughs at such argument, and the enlightened States that do not tolerate systematic manslaughter for the settlement of private wrongs, regard it as contemptible.—Vindicates honor! Is Terry a more honorable man to-day than ho was before killing Broderick? Or would the latter have been a more honorable man if lie had slain Terry ? Is good repute in community held by such slight tenure that the breath of slander or passion can destroy it, unless the stain is wiped out in blood ? V e know that it is not. We know that an insulting aspersion wounds the honor of no man who does not deserve it, but surely re coils upon him who falsely or angrily utters it. In the days when the code was first regu larly established men believed, or pretended to believe, that Deity itself would interfere on the side of the right, in favor of injured innocence or aspersed honor; and that be lief, if sincere, justified the practice of pri vate battle. In these days, however, no one entertains such a mean opinion of Deity,and it is known the innocent or aggrieved parly is as likely to fall in the trial as his guilty opponent—and where is the “satisfaction” if he does? In this age there is a higher code of honor than that of the chivalrous epoch. Moral and intellectual superiority is the true criterion of manliness, and not skill in the use of arms or success in combat, A majority of the world's best people every where denounce a resort to arms for the set tlement of personal grievances, and the true man of honor affirms, in the language of one who eminently deserves the title, that no gentleman will insult him, whilst none other can. A man panoplied in an incor ruptible character, with a will to obey none but the loftiest motives, needs not the duel ing pistol or sword to prove his courage or maintain his integrity. While he does not claim to be a non-resistant, and will oppose force to force, he yet resorts not to “ the code,” and would scorn to place himself ?» a position of equality with one who would degrade himsclfby the utterance of oppro brious expletives and epithets. lie knows that a universal recognition of the duello would blot out what is best in modern civil ization, would restore the days of violence and once more elevate physical daring above the sweetest virtues of humanity. He Be lie ves, wit lithe eloquent man who pronounced the parting words over the remains of poor Broderick, that “the code of honor is a de lusion and a snare. It palters with the hope of a true courage, and binds it at the feet of crafty and cruel skill. It surrounds its vic tim with the pomp and grace of the proces sion,, but leaves him bleeding on live altar.—- It substitutes cold and deliberate preparation for courageous and manly impulse, and arms the one to disarm the other. It may pre vent feuds between practiced duelists who should be forever without its pale, but it makes tiie mere “trick of the weapon" supe rior to the noblest cause and the truest courage. Its pretense of equality is a lie. It is equal in all’ the form ; it is unjust in all the substance.” Away with a custom which disgraces the age, disturbs the pence of society and makes bleeding victims of its best members. Let humanity and the law of the land be vindi cated. Hereafter permit no duelist to escape the legal punishment of his crime. “Honor able gentlemen” willavoid procuring “satis faction” by homocide, when the offense in sures them a long residence in the penitent iary. They will not seek to heal their wounded honor by a process which society condemns and punishes as in itself dishon orable. —— Interesting Correspondence: —The atten tion of our readers is panfcwlarly directed to the interesting correspondence which oc cupies the largest portion of our outside pages. We refuse to publish long commu nications, ns a rule, but these convey a con siderable amount of information in regard to our own county and concerning a part of the eastern slope to which, just now, public attention is constantly directed. Admiral Baynes, of the British Navy, has positively declined to act with Gov. Doug las in his efforts to remove the American forces from San Juan Island. The affair will doubtless be settled bv diplomacy. ns it ought to he. THE STATE FAIB. I p to Thursday last, the interest in this great exhibition of California resources and productions continued unabated. Many of the best features of it seem to have been re served for the last, and the attendance was constantly increasing. To give an idea of the number of visitors, we may mention that the receipts up to theevening of the 20th inst. had reached the uprecedented and un expected sum of $25,000 ! It is unquestion ably the most successful and imposing fair yet held in the State. The number of arti cles is very great, and they are more genu inely Californian than at some former exhi bitions. Col. Baker’s address on Tuesday evening did credit to his reputation, and was heard by an immense audience. A friend, writing from Sacramento, men tions what we must regard, with him, as one of the most interesting features of the fair, and that is, the fine collection of fruit on exhibition from Coloma, in Eldorado county. He says : “ Among the collection are about two bushels of beautiful orange colored peaches, which will weigh from one pound to one pound and a half. each. The largest one. weighing one pound and a half, measures 12| inches in circumference one way and 13J inches the other. Singly, or as a collection, the world might be defied in vain to produce their equal; and coming, as they do, the product of a mininj county, they are particularly remarkable. There is also on exhibition from Coloma a fine lot of apples, pears and grapes, all of which will compare favorably with any in the hall. Placer county lias also an excellent supply of fruits, of which she may be groud. In fact, it should be a matter of pride with all residents in the mineral region, that they have in their midst a soil capable of yielding fruit to carry of the first prize when brought in competition with the choice fruit of the entire Pacific coast.” Our correspondent thus alludes to another feature of interest: “In the basement of the pavillion there is a large steam engine that gives power to the various kinds of ma chinery on exhibition. In this department Messrs. 11. S. Crocker k Co. have a Buggies Press, upon which they print, in presence of visitors, and afterwards distribute gra tuitously, a daily paper, letter-sheet size, called the Stale Fair Gazette, and containing a list of articles, incidents occurring in the hall, advertisements, &c. There are also two small steam engines, of fine workman ship—one of one-horse power, used for cut ting feed and for trtminga fanning mill, and the other of one-rat prower, propelling a miniature lathe.” JBg Telegraph , [oven THE ALTA USE,] FOR THE HYDRAULIC PRESS. Diamond Springs Destroyed by Fire! By a brief despatch from Sacramento we learn that at 2i o’clock P. M. yesterday, a fire broke out at Diamond Springs, El Dora do county, and destroyed about half the business portion of the town, with a large number of dwelling houses. The fire origi nated in Young’s private boarding house.— The losses are very heavy. Amount not known. Mexican Mocking Bums.—Some of these birds have lately been brought to San Fran cisco where they sell readily at §3O each. They do not seem to be possessed of as great powers of mimicry as the mocking bird of Louisiana and Florida, nor are they as large It is thought the Bay climate will prove tot? ccid for them. Several of our excitable cotemporaries at San Francisco are very actively employed with a task that ought to be as disagreeable to them as it is to outsiders, and that is— proving awaj-, or swearing away, one an other’s reputation for decency. Is not this quarreling over a dead body rather disgrace ful ? Good advice is given to incoming emi grants by the Amador Ledger , in this wise: Gentlemen, come along, but be sure and I: bring your knitting, and stay to tea,” and do not lay the flattering unction to your souls that a fortune can be made in a week or a year, for it now takes time, either with capital or labor; the fortunes that could once be found lying around “loose,” have been picked up and carried away. A free and independent elector of a sus picions disposition, at Stockton, tried to deposit in tlie ballot box a huge muslin poster on which his favorite ticket was print ed, but was finally Induced to poll one of smaller dimensions. Monte Gristo*'Burned.— We were in formed by telegram from Forest City, on Tuesday last, that the day previous Monte Crisfo' had been almost entirely consumed by fire, The losses amount to upwards of JOO’jOOOv — The report that Ex-Gov. McDougaß had sought to challenge Senator Gwin, is au thoritatively denied. Jerry Sullivan has our thanks for repeated favors in the newspaper line. We wish him a new customer for every paper he sends. The Sacramento Union, the best newspa per in California, has entered on its 18th volume. our Marysville cotemporaries oblige as by sending exchange through express ? Arrested. — Judge Terry was arrested last Saturday, at Stockton, by Sheriff O'N'oill. Tub Last of Broderick.—California’s dead Senator has been taken to his long home. Such honors were never before paid to any man’s memory in this State, as were accorded him during the two days his re mains were above the earth. Thirty thou sand people bowed before the majesty of his white brow and closed eyes. The most elo quent man on this coast pronounced his eu logy, and gave voice to the regrets of the entire commonwealth. Although an orphan and the last of his race, he went to the grave attended hr thousands of true friends. He must have deserved these, when even an enemy could utter such a noble tri bute to his worth as the following, which Is taken from the San Francisco Herald: “We were not among his friends. In the mad whirl of politics in early times in Cal ifornia, the editor of this paper and Mr. Broderick became estranged. Since then, in the vicissitudes of political life, wc have been as enemies or strangers; but it affords ns a melancholy reflection to remember that throughout the varying fortunes of both, wc never spoke of him unkindly. And now that he lies stark and cold, every virtue his friends claim for him wc cheerfully accord —bold decision, indomitable will, force of character to an extraordinary degree, a cour age that never failed him, genuine kindness of heart—and. add to these, an intellect far above mediocrity. It cannot be deniei that he tilled a large space in the hearts of the people of California. No man had more de voted friends, and, as a party leader, he was without an equal in our State. The man who could attach to him so many thou sands of our citizens in ardent and unselfish devotion must have been posscssnd of qual ities of no common order. We do not yield to any of bis friends in heartfelt regret for his untimely decease in the very beginning of a career so brilliant as that which dawned upon him two years since ; and how much soever we may have differed in onr political views, that cannot prevent ns paying a sim ple tribute of justice to his memory. May he have everlasting rest.” The Pacific Railroad Convention is now in session at San Francisco. Twenty-eight counties and five Senatorial districts in this State are represented there by ninety-two delegates, and there arc twenty-seven de legates entitled to seats from Oregon and Washington. The first day’s session was consumed in preliminary business, election of officers, appointment of committees, Ac. Major Bidwell of Butte is President, and Dr. Rabe, of San Francisco, Secretary. A re solution providing for the appointment of seven committees on as many different routes was wisely ignored : yet on Wednesday the Convention debated fruitlessly as to what place ought to be the Pacific terminals of the road. No later news of its doing?, CfiSTEXARt Festivai,. —The one hundredth anniversary of the birthday of Schiller will be celebrated at Nevada on the evening of the 10th of November. There will be a torchlight procession, an oration, and other exercises, to be followed by a ball. This ovation to a noble poet and pure-minded liberal man, is oue in which every admirer of genius and lover of his race should' join. It is in charge of gentlemen who will render it worthy of the occasion. Diamonds.—David Dale Owen, State Ge ologist of Arkansas, alluding to a section of country where much siliciticd wood is found, thinks it is not improbable diamonds way be discovered in the same vicinity; for the reason that during the transfer of carbon fro?» the wood and its replacement with si lex, the pure crystalline carbon, or the dia mond, is likely to form. If this theory be correct there may be diamonds about North San Juan, for siliciticd wood is abundant. The mail which left by the John L. Ste vens last Tuesday was probably the fast that will be carried under the old contract with the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, as that instrument expires on the first of October. After that time are wc to be left to the de lightful uncertainties of the Johnson con tract? If so wc may thank fortune for the OVcrland mails, which ought to bo exclu sively patronised. The great north is filling up as well as the great west. A newspaper under Canadian auspices is about to be started at Selkirk, on the Red River of the north, 4."j0 miles above St. Paul. The place has 10,000 in habitants. Saw Andreas Independent.—This journal has completed its third volume, and we are glad to notice thwt it is well supported. It is a newspaper-—in the true sense of the term—of genuine excellence. We always receive it with' pleasure and read it with profit. A. Roman, a San Francisco Roman, has the cheapest stock of good books to be found at the Bay. You can buy of him “books that are books” at New York prices, and frequently at less than those prices.— Mountain dealers can make money by giving him their orders. The Sacramento Bee argues earnestly in favor of making that place the permanent locality of future State Fairs. No doubt the efficiency of such exhibitions would be Increased by holding them always at oue point. Wizard Martin’s jewelry box was- stolen from him at Forest Hill, says the Courier. It contained §4OO in coin, and about §425 in j welry. Several noted thieves are said to be about these parts now. People will do well not to leave valuables in their way. will read the advertisements of Billings' Hams and Jules Robin’s Cognac. A CARD.
