VOLUME HIM
Pensacola and her Harbor.
We have called attention again and
again to the importance of this place to
the whole South and West for the many
advantages it possesses over any other
point on the Gulf of Mexico as a great
shipping p dnt, as well as a commercial
and manufacturing city. We present this
morning to our readers positive proofs of
| the fact from the New Orleans papers, so |
far as depth of water is concerned. Read
the following:
“Obstructions at the Mouth of the Missis- \
tippi-—Southwest Pass, Sept. 25.—Yester
, day, the 24th inst., being tbe time speci
i bed in the contract of the Government |
with Mes-rs. Hyde & Macklc for the com
pletion ol the work of clearing out the
Bouthwest Pass, a survey was made by
Col. 4 uller, ol the United States Engi
neer Department, and the required depth ,
of 18 lcet, as called for by the contract, i
could not be found.
Li a great part of the channel only a j
depth of 10 to 18 lcet eouid be obtained
by the must careful soundings. The chan- j
nel at Pass-a-L’Outre lias filled up con j
siderably since the late heavy blow from |
the northeast.”—JV. O. papers.
From the above, it will be seen that
there is only 18 feet scant of water after
the expenditure of very largo sums of
money to deepen the channel al the j
mouth of the Mississippi; whereas, on !
the bar at the entrance to our harbor, j
(Pensacola,) wc have 22 feet large, with- \
out the expenditure of a solitary dollar 1
to improve the navigation, or deepeu the j
channel. Consequently a very superior j
class of steamships as to size, &c., can !
come to our city when they cannot go to i
New Orleans ; and hence in a few years, j
when our city is connected with the great j
West, by the completion of the Alabama !
and Florida Rail Road, and the North \
Alabama Rail Road from Montgomery to ,
Decatur, and the various connections to I
this great trank railway, the lines of j
steamships for Europe, West Indies,
South and Central America and Mexico,
that do the carrying trade and travel for
all this vast region north of us, must
make Pensacola their place of arrival and
departure. Coal too can be placed here
in abundance from Alabama, and supplied
at cheaper rates than it can be had for at
New Orleans. Freights will be lower too
because there is no towage to pay, as there
is at New Orleans up the river a hundred
miles—or lighterage as there is up and
down Mobile bay. There are many other
advantages possessed by our city, to which
we will allude at another time.—Pensaco

Premisia Rallies at- tlie National
Fair.
At this point of the proceedings a bas
ket was brought forth from the mysteri
ous labyrinth of crinoline that occupied
a large portion of the judges’ stand, and
held up in sight of the crowd. It con
tained three small specimens of humanity
born at the same birth, six months of
age, and all doing well, President
Tilghman, alter exhibiting the youngsters
to the crowd, held up three silver tea
spoons in his hand and spoke as follows:
“Fellow-citizens of the United States
of America, ladies and gentleman—mar
ried and single: We appear before you
on this occasion to award a premium of
a most interesting character. No country
can be great without population ; and
how can any country be so great as this,
where we improve upon the old-fashioned
plan of one at a time? Your speaker,
after having served his country by an
addition of eight in single numbers,
concluded liis labors with three at a time.
He i3 proud to welcome all who have
done likewise. But although we have
generally considered ourselves some
pumpkins, wc are really small potatoes,
compared with Mrs. Teresa Understock,
the mother of these triplets. If there
has been any doubt about this be-ing the
greatest agricultural fair ever held in the
country, this settles the question. Never
was there an occasion like this before
where three living healthful babes were
presented to the audience by a member
of the official board. I might descant for
any length of time upon such a prolific
theme; but I will conclude by awarding,
on behalf of the United States Agricul
tural Society, three spoons to John, Jo
seph and William Understock, the infant
brothers in the basket, before you. Go
thou and do otherwise.”
The audience applauded, and the band
played “Yankee Doodle,” and the mother
of the babes, assisted by a couple of her
countrywomen, carried tbe basket of ba
bies around in the crowd for inspection,
and to receive pecuniary contributions.
Several hundred dollars in money were
given.
The children are natives of Illinois,
born of German parents, who are of
course very poor. (People in easy cir
cumstances are seldom endowed with
i blessings of- this kind in such absurd
I abundance.) Upon arriving at the gates
of the fair ground, the mother had not
money enough to purchase a ticket of
admission; but a noble-hearted lady.
I Mrs. Bernard, conceiving the happy idea
i of both assisting the mother and affording
i a fund of entertainment for the visitors,
j procured the admission of the mother
I and her numerous offspring. Chicago

Growth of Memphis.
The Memphis Enquirer says it is vari
i ously estimated that there are at the !
j present time in process of erection, or
about to be undertaken, no less than 1400
j or 1500 buildings in the city and suburbs.
Wo think, however, says the Enquirer,
I we may safely say 1000; and many of
these are as magnificent stores and dwell
ing houses as are to be found in any city
North or South. Our city is enlarging
her borders ; although it now covers an :
area of two miles in length by one in |
breadth, is lengthening her cords and, we |
trust, strengthening her stakes. The ,
forest is being felled that our city may j
have room for gvowth.
Arkansas Cotton Crop.
Tbe Herald, printed at Camden, in the
Southern part of Arkansas, speaking oi j
the crop in that part of the State, says: |
“The present crop, it is saidliv those who
know, will largely exceed that of last
year, and the prospect is that prices will f
be equally as good, if uc t better. So far, ,
l‘o the best of cur information, until
within the last few days, the weather has j
been propitious for gathering, and if it
should continue for a couple of mouths, j
there is no calculating, with any certain- ;
ty, the value of the crop that will be j
thrown into market during the winter
and spring.”
At the late term of the Circuit Court of :
Tuscaloosa county, Ala., Nancy Johnson, >
charged with the shooting of young Ful
ton, was tried and convicted of man
slaughter in the first deegree. She has ;
been sentenced to two years in the Peni
tentiary. The cases of Bryant and others
charged with arson and murder, in the
burning of the Fouudery and a man in
it, was put off by the State.
THE WEEKLY SIN.
Judge Terry.
Terry, who mortally wounded Senator
Broderick in the recent duel between
them, was Judge of the Supreme Court
of California, ‘ and was the gentleman
whom Broderick insulted at the table of
the International Hotel in June last.—
The difficulty, as reported in the San
Fran cisco Bulletin, grew out of the dis
paraging remarks made by Broderick on
that occasion, iu consequence of which
Terry invited him to a hostile meeting.
The St. Louis Republican says that
Judge Terry emigrated to California \
from Kentucky, having been born in
Christian county, in that State. During
the reign of the San Francisco Vigilance
Committee, his course drew upon him
the denunciations of that body, and he
narrowly escaped with his life out of
their hands.

Health of Galveston amt Houston.
The Galveston News, of the 4tli inst.,
says :
Yesterday there was but one death,
namely, that of Mr. John Nolan, a young
man highly esteemed by all who knew
him. lie died of yellow fever. To-day
there have as yet been no burials, though
we learn that two deaths from yellow
fever have taken place at the Hospital, i
We can hear of but two or three new j
cases.
We have been shown a letter from a !
well informed gentleman at Houston, ; (
wherein it is stated that the fever there j

Church, of the Muskingum District of j
Ohio, closed its session the Bth inst. Tlie i
Slavery question, as usual in such lati

discussion. A debate originated from
the action of tlie Springfield Convention
last Fall, in striking out the word j
“ white” from the Church Discipline,
thus obliterating the distinction of color, s
so far as church membership is con
cerned. The minority denied the author
ity of the Springfield Convention to
revise or amend the discipline.

David C. Broderick.
This Senator of the United States, who
fell in a duel on the 13th ult., in San
Mateo county, California, at the hands of
David S. Terry, Chief Justice of the
State, was, in some respects, a remarka
ble man.
lie was born in tlie District of Colum
bia, in ISI9, of obscure but respectable
parentage, and of Irish descent, lie had
a few early advantages of intellectual
culture. His boyhood and early man
hood were passed in the city of New York,
where he was for some years noted for the I
active part lie took in politics, being a
working member of the Democratic par
ty. In tbe list of the pioneers of Cali
fornia, we find his name set down as hav
ing arrived at San Francisco in 18-19.
Here he, from the start, became a warm
and earnest party politician, and took an
active part in every election with an ac
tivity and zeal which always character
ized him. In 1857 he took his seat in the
Senate of the United States, where lie I
distinguished himself rather as a politi- j
cian than as a legislator. Elected as a
Democrat, he was, nevertheless, an oppo
nent of the administration, with whom
he disagreed on the questions arising out
of tho cf slavery extension. In
the recent political campaign in Califor
nia, he took an active part, and appeared
often before the people, in advocacy of
the anti-Lecoaipton candidate for the Gov
ernorship. The canvass was carried on, j
as our readers know, with great acrimo
ny and personality
Among those to whom Broderick found
himself in the attitude of opposition, was
Judge Terry. This excited him to such 1
an extent that, in a moment of irritation,
he publicly denounced the Judge (who, it
seems, had alluded to him offensively in a ‘
political speech during the canvass) as an
ingrate, and as one of whom he had
thought well, but had found out to be as |
bad as the rest of those whom he had j
denounced as corrupt. The canvass over,
he was challenged by ’Terry, and was
killed by him.
The eulogist of Mr. Broderick, Col. j
Baker, of San Francisco, standing over
his grave, said of him that “his love for
liis mother was his first and most distinc
tive trait of character, and when his
brother died—an early and sudden death
—the shock gave a serious and reflective
cast to his habits and bis thoughts, which
marked them to the last hour of his life,
lie was always filled with pride, and en
ergy and ambition ; his pride was in the
manliness and force of his character, and
no man had more reason. His energy
was manifest in the most resolute strug
gles with poverty and obscurity, and bis
ambition impelled him to seek a foremost j
place in the great race for honorable
power.” And further: “it was his boast,
and amidst the general license of anew
country it was a proud one, that liis most
scrutinizing enemy could fix no singlo act
of immorality upon him. Temperate,
decorous, self-restrained, ho had passed
through all the excitements of California
unstained. No man could charge him
with broken faith or violated trust. Os I
habits simple and inexpensive, he bad no
lust of gain. He overreached no mas’s
weakness in a bargain, and withheld no
man his just dues. Never in the history
of the State has there been a citizen who
has borne public relations more stainless
ly in.all respects than he.”
The Rev. Father Gallagher, who was
forbidden by the ordinance of his Church
to lay his remains in consecrated ground,
yet publicly said, at his funeral, that lie
felt it a privilege to record Lis high ap
preciation of the public virtues of the
man, “who,” said the Father, “conside
ring the time and circumstances, could
say without fear of contradiction, in the
hearing of the whole State, ‘The man is
not living or dead who ever saw me at a
gambliug table, in a brothel, or under
tbe influence of intoxicating drink.’ ”
And the reverend speaker closed bis ad
dress with this remarkable apostrophe to
to the lifeless remains before him:
“ Peace to thy ashes, joy to thy spirit,
truest and most unselfish of friends, and
most moral of public men !”
The San Francisco Herald, the strong
and earnest political opponent of Brode
rick, on the day after his sepulture, ac
cords him “every virtue his friends
claim for him
“Bold decision, indomitable will, force !
of character to an extraordinary degree, j
a courage that never failed him, genuine j
kindness of heart, and, added to these, |
an intellect far above mediocrity. It
cannot be denied that he filled a large
space in the hearts of the people of Cali
fornia. No man bad more devoted
friends, and, as a party leader lie was
without an equal in our State. The man
who could attach to him so many thou
sands of our citizens in ardent and un
selfish devotion, must have been possessed
of qualities of no common order.”
The excitement created in California
was intense. Ilis funeral was made an
occasion of general mourning in San
Francisco. Elegiac verses were pub
lished in memory of him. The punish
ment of his opponent was urged as a fit
ting retribution, and as an act of justice,
tbe allegation being that the duel was the
result of a deliberately planned partisan
conspiracy. The fact that, in a crisis of
great peril to Terry, Broderick stood be
tween him and those who would have
taken his life, and saved him, at no little
cost and risk to himself, is dwelt on with
great emphasis by a portion of the press, j
This melancholy event was made the
occasion of a strong denunciation of tbe
duelist’s code, both by tbe eulogist of the
deceased Senator, and the Rev. gentlemen
who performed his obsequies.—-AT. O.

Mr. Ten Brocck appears to be putting

London papers bring the intelligence that ■

experienced as well as successful turfite
in England. Last year he carried off the :
Derby with Beadsman, and this year with 1
Musjid. In fact, the “cherry jacket” is
ofeener seen in front in the more impor- 1
tant races than any other; and if Ten
Broeck out-generals the lucky baronet,
he will have achieved a feat which no
other sportsman in England has ever j
been able to accomplish. The enormous
extent of the wager, together with the
character of the horses, will reuder the
race the most interesting that has taken
place on the English turf since Yoltigeur
had to succumb to the Dutchman, and the
result will be looked for with equal anxi
ety on both sides of the Atlantic.

Tiie Broderick ami Terry Correspon
dence.
The circumstances which induced the
late hostile meeting between Senator
Broderick and Judge Terry are explained
in the following correspondence between
them :
Oakland, Sept, 8, 1859.
llon. D. O. Broderick:
Sir —Some two months since, at the
public table of the international Hotel in
San Francisco, you saw tit to indulge in
certain remarks concerning me, which
were offensive in their nature. Before I
had heard of the circumstance, your note
of 29th June, addressed to Mr. Perly, in
which you declared that you would not
respond to any call of a personal charac
ter, during the political canvass, just
concluded, had been published.
I have, therefore, not been permitted to
take any notice of those remarks until
the expiration of the limit fixed by your
self. I now take the earliest opportunity
to require of you a retraction of those
remarks. This note will be hauded to
you by my friend. Calhoun Beuham, Esq.,
who is acquainted with its contents, and
will receive your reply. D. S. Terry.
Sax Francisco, Sept. 8, 1859.
llox. D. 0. Broderick:
Sir —Should you have occasion to com
municate with me sooner than the time
agreed upon between us, I will be found
at the Metropolitan Hotel. 1 omitted to
leave my address this morning. Very
respectfully, your obedient servant,
Cauioun Beniiam.
Sax Francisco, Sept. 8, 1859.
Ilox. D. S. Terry:
Sir —Your note of Sept. Bth reached me
through the hands of Mr. Calhoun Ben
ham. The remarks used by me, in the
conversation referred to, may be a subject
of future misrepresentation, and, for ob
vious reasons, 1 have to desire you to state
what were the remarks that you desig
nate in your note as offensive, and of
which you require from me a retraction.
I rema'm, &c., D. C. Broderick.
Sax Francisco, Sept. 9, 1§59.
llox. D. C. Broderick:
Sir —ln reply to your note of this date,
I have to say that the offensive remarks
to which 1 alluded in my communication
of yesterday are as follows: “I have
heretofore considered and spoken of him
(rnyseif) as the only honest man on the
Supreme Court Bench ; but 1 now take it
all back”—thus, by implication, reflect
ing on my personal and official integrity.
This is tbe substance of your remarks, as
reported to me; the precise terms, how
ever, in which such an implication was
conveyed, are not important to the ques
tion. You yourself can best remember
the terms in which you spoke of me on
the occasion referred to. What I require
is, the retraction of any words which
were used, calculated to reflect on my
character as an officer or a gentleman.
I remain, your obedient servant,
D. S. Tf.rty.
Friday Evening, 9th September,
llox. I). S. Terry:
Sir— Yours of this date has been re
ceived. The remarks made by me were
occasioned by certain offensive allusions
of yours concerning me, made in tbe Con
vention at Sacramento, reported in the
Union of June 25th. Upon the topic al
luded to in your note of this date, my
language, so far as my recollection serves
me, was as follows: “During Judge Ter
ry’s incarceration by the Vigilance Com
mittee, 1 paid S2OO a week to support a
newspaper in his (your) defence. I have
also stated heretofore that I considered
him (Judge Terry) the only honest man
on the Supreme Bench, but I take it all
back.” You arc the bes‘ judge as to
whether this language affords good ground
of offence. I remain, etc.,
* D. C. Broderick.
San Francisco, Sept. 9, 1859.
llon. D. C. Broderick :
Sir —Seme months ago you used lan
guage, concerning me, offensive in its na
ture. I waited the lapse of a period of
time fixed by yourself before I asked rep
aration therefor at your hands. You re
plied, asking specifications of the lan
guage used whieh I regarded as offensive.
In another letter I gave you the specifica
tion and reiterated my demand for a re
traction. To this last letter you reply,
acknowledging the use of the offensive
language imputed to you, and not making
the retraction required. This course on
your part leaves me no other alternative
but to demand .the satisfaction usual
among gentlemen, which I accordingly
do. Mr. Ben ham will make the necessa
ry arrangements. Your obedientservant,
D-S. Terry.
San Francisco, Sept. 9, 1859.
Hon. D. S. Terry :
Sir —Your note of tho above date has
been received at 1 o’clock, a. m., Septem
ber 10. In response to the same, l will
refer you to my friend, lion. J. C. McKib
beu, who will make the satisfactory ar
rangements demanded in your letter.
I remain, &c., D. C. Broderick.

Dr. L. Pierce—Tlie New Metliodlst
CHurcli— I Thursday Niglit.
This able and distinguished divine is
the present Pastor of this new and beau
tiful Church. The dedication sermon
was preached by the Pastor last Sabbath
to a crowded house. It was an able,
plain, and instructive discourse. At 34
o’clock p. m., the Doctor gave another of
Lovick Pierce’s sermons, to an audience
numbering between twenty and thirty
persons.
On last Thursday night the Doctor
preached to thirty or forty persons.—
Must I believe that tbe people of Colum
bus were apprisrd of this apppintment?
Columbus, with her five Methodist
Churches and large membership ! What
must be the inference ? Is the member
snip lukewarm, or is it cold? Is it the
“great press of business” ? Where are
the ladies ? The answer may be, “I hear
so much preaching.” The true spirit is,
the more wo hear, the more we desire to
hear. Or it may be said, we have heard
Dr. Pierce for years. For that reason
you should be the more anxious to hear
him —you know the man. However,
Christ was not preferred in his own
country. As I have made no inquiry, I
may be mistaken ; therefore, I shall take
it that the good people of Columbus, Ga.,
were not apprised of the appointment. I
shall remain in the city for a season;
time will inform me.
Merchants, leave your business for an
hour; professionalists, yon who admire
logic, oratory and eloquence ; ladies,
leave your domestic engagements, your
novels, yotir idly spent time, and hear
the Doctor's lectures on the great trfTth
of practical Christianity, and 1 will guar
antee you cauaot spend the same length
of time better, or more profitably. *
Heroic Conduct of a Young Lady.
A week or so since, we regret to learn,
a young child three or four years of age,
a daughter of Dr. J. H. Wayt, of this
city, while playing about the yard at
tached to Mrs. Redd’s residence, in Hen
ry county, Ya., was struck on tbe foot by
a rattlesnake. Mrs. Wayt was absent
when it occurred, but owing to the pres
ence of mind and heroic conduct of a
young lady (Miss C. Redd) the child’s
life was saved. She, without a moment’s
hesitation, and fully aware of the danger
she incurred, set to work to draw the
poison-from the wound by applying her
mouth to the bite and sucking out tbe
virus, which she persevered in until she
was satisefid that the poison had been
eradicated. Up to this time she has ex
perienced no ill effects from the poison ;
and the child, with the exception of a
swelling of the foot and leg, was well in
a few days— Charlotte (N. C ) Bulletin.

A Chance for Immortality.
Wendell Phillips said in a late speech,
“the man who would strike the head from
the statue recently erected to Daniel
Webster (in Boston) would do a great
service, and his name would be immor
talized.” Wendell, we presume, is not
ambitions of immortality, otherwise be
would not content himself with pointing
out the path of glory to others, while he
declines entering on it. The New York
Times drily asks why he doe3 not knock
off the head of the statue himself. When
some man, in a debate, said that General
Washington (then President) “ought to
have his nose pulled” for something that
lie had done, Col. Ines roared out, “Why
don’t you pull it ? Sir, you would sooner
nip the forked lightning.” We would
like to see the man who would be bold
enough to knock off old Dan’s head. We
are very sure Wendell is not that man.—

The Terry uuil Itrodvrlck Duel.
By the arrival of the .-teaiusbip Hahana
at New Orleans, we have files ot San
Francisco papers to the 20th September.
Os the Broderick and Terry duel, the
Herald say 9:
The parties met yesterday morning,
about a quarter before seven o’clock, in a
beautiful ravine on the ranche of Mr.
Davis, iu San Mateo county, two miles
from the dividing line between the coun
ties of San Mateo ami San Francisco.—
- They were accompanied by their seconds,
surgeons, and about seventy friends.
The ground was measured, the principals
posted, and the word given. The wea
pons were regular duelling pistols, the
distance ten paces, and the firing to be
done between the word “fire” and the
word “two.”
At the first fire Mr. Broderick received
his-antagonist’s ball in the right breast,
about two inches above the nipple, while
his ball struck the ground a few feet in
advance of Judge Terry. Mr. Broderick
reeled and fell, when Judgo Terry left the
ground with his friends.
Os the parties when on the ground the
Alta says :
The pistols having been placed in the
hands of the principals, General Coulton
stepped forward aud called the word :
“Are you ready, gentlemen?” Terry
answered promptly, “I am ready,” and
fixed his eye ou his antagonist. Mr.
Broderick took a firmer hold of his wea
pon and answered, “Ready,” and at the
same time turned from his vertical posi
tion and exposed a fuller view of his
person to tho mark of his opponent.—
Mr. Broderick had his hat drawn partly
over his eyes, aud seemed to be scanning
| a line on the ground between himself
and his antagonist—Terry, on the con
j trary, stood perfectly motionless, and
eyed his opponent calmly. As tho words
“Fire—one ! two !” were giveu, Mr.
Broderick partly raised his arm, when
the pistol went oft’ prematurely ; the ball
entered tho ground a short distance in
advance of Terry’s feet; not more than
two seconds elapsed between the shots,
i Mr. Terry raised his weapon deliberately,
covered the breast of his opponent and
fired. The hall took effect in Mr. Brode
rick’s right breast, about an inch and a
! half above the nipple.
On receiving his opponent’s shot, Mr.
Broderick gave a slight shudder and
wheeled partly around; he then attempt
j ed to right himself, by a strong effort of
physical force, but the ball had entered
a vital part; and Mr. Broderick’s strength
; gave way and ho fell.
Funeral of senator broderick.—The
Bulletin thus notices the funeral of the
deceased :
The funeral of Senator Broderick took
place on Sunday, the 18th instant, and
was one of ‘lie most imposing spectacles
ever witnessed in California. The hour
fixed for tho solemn rites was at half-past
one o’clock P. M., when the funeral ora
tion of Col. R. D. Baker was to he deliv
ered on the Plaza; but long before that
dime the square, all the streets about it,
the windows, balconies and roofs, aud
the roofs of distant bouses, wherever a
view could be obtained, were crowded
with speciators, many of them ladies.
! The numbers were variously estimated
from five to ten thousand; such a mass
as has seldom ever previously gathered
iu San Francisco.

The Jeffersonian, Linden, says, “We
have seldom seen a finer season for pick
ing cotton. Most of the crop is open and
is rapidly being gathered.” The Camden
Republic says of the cotton :
During the past week wo have had fair
weather with no interruption, save a very
light shower on Saturday last. The tem
perature of the weather has been delight
ful for gathering crops, and every one
seems closely engaged in improving the
opportunity. We should ask no better
evidence of this fact than the scarcity of
persons in town. Our citizens come in
and go out as if they were afraid the frost
would come and cut off their crops before
their return. Perhaps it may be tho
anxiety they labor under to lose no part
of a crop already full short. From late
developments, however, we are con
strained to believe that the crops will not
fall so alarming!? short after all.
The Greenville Alabamian says:
“ Truly such a sight was never seen in
Greenville as the crowd which besieged
the Land Office all day Sunday and all
night till after the office was opened
Monday morning. Almost every county
in Alabama must have been represented,
and many delegates were here from other
States. Uncle Sam’s land in this district
is in great and anxious demand.”
