Guerry, wife of the editor-of the News of that place, and one of his servants, were accidentally shot last Friday morning, by the falling of a loaded gun. The extent of the injury was not known when the Republican went to press. It was thought not to be serious. Crops on tile Mississippi. A private letter to the editors ol the Montgomery Mail, from Waterproof, La., dated the sth instant, says the crops on the Mississippi are fine; the cotton crops will be exceedingly good. Tbe writer thinks there will be an average yield of about ten bales to the hand. — The editor of the Portsmouth (N. II.) Journal describes Brookline, Mass., as a j place of rich estates, and adds : “Os the * poor, there is scarcely enough in the town j to sustain the early assurance that they i shall ever be with us.” Water Gas. The Wilmington Republican ridicules the statement of the Philadelphia papers j concerning the water gas experiment. It j says it was a decided failure—gave “ a very poor light, find emitted a horrible ; odor.” The Atlanta papers say that Jones, one ; of the accomplices in the murder of Lan drum, was tried in that city on the 11th inst., and a verdict of guilty returned by j the Jury.

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 la Observer. 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 i Press, Sept. IS. *■ 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. —— -* Tlie Fillibusters at New Orleans. The New Orleans True Delta says that Capt. Harry Maury, Col. Frank Ander son, Capt. Faysoux and Capt. Scott were arraigned before U. S. Commissioner Lusher upon indictments found against them for violation of the neutrality laws j on the 9th inst. The U. S. District At torney asked that bonds of §5,000 in each case be required, but the Commis sioner concluded to take bonds for §3,000 each, which were furnished. The men, between seventy and eighty : in number, were, left at the U. S. Bar racks, in the Third District. Death of Moses Cox, XCsq. With emotions of profound sorrow we have received the intelligence of the un timely death of Moses Cox, Esq., of Clay ton, Alabama, which occurred recently at White Sulphur Springs in this State. Mr. Cox was a young and promising member of the Bar of Barbour county, j and bid fair to realize bis laudable aspi- j rations of success in the noble profession, 1 to which he was devoted with passionate j ardor. Ilia afflicted family have our 1 deepest sympathy in their bereavement, j Savannah Municipal Election. The election for Mayor and Aldermen ! in Savannah on Monday, tlie 10th inst., resulted in the election of the Reform Democratic ticket. The following is the result: Mayor —Dr. R. D. Arnold. Aldermen —R. Lachisou, W. M. David son, J. P. Brooks, J. F. Waring, J. P. W. Read, J. Richardson, P. M. Kollock, C. C. Jones, A. Minis, J. F. Wheaton, ; W. Curaming and F. M. Stone. Dr. Arnold’s majority over Thomas M. ! Turner, Esq., is 200. 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 is on the increase, though the mortality is no greater than it has been—that is, j about one a day. The Gubernatorial Election. The following counties are yet to hear j from, viz: Appling, Charlton, Coffee, j Colquitt, Echols, Erwin, Johnson, Mont-, gomcry anil Tatnall, in the First; Early and Webster, in the Second; Dade, Fan nin and Haralson, in the Fifth ; and. Towns, Rabun and White, in the Sixth District. In 1857, Gov. Brown’s major- j ity in these counties yet to be beard from was 1,805. Ilis majority so far as ascer- ! tained, is 17,408, and if he lias gained any in the counties ye to be heard from, his majority will reach quite 20,000 j votes over his competitor, Col. Akin. The AnnuaFConferencc of the 3VI. P. Church, of the Muskingum District of j Ohio, closed its session the Bth inst. Tlie i Slavery question, as usual in such lati tudes, constituted a prominent topic of 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. George I. Lloyd, Esq. The Central Georgian, of the 12th, says Geo. I. Lloyd, Esq., Grand Worthy Patriarch of the Sons of Temperance of the State of Georgia, will deliver an ad- j dress on the subject of Temperance at : Sandersvilie, on Friday next. A proces sion will be formed at the Masonic Hall, at 11 o'clock, in the following order: Grand Division S. of TANARUS., Sons of Tem perance, Knights of Jericho, Orator and Chaplain, Citizens generally. Members of tbe order and the public . generally are invited to attend. Probable Recovery of Stolen Money. The Constitutionalist of Wednesday morning says: “It is reported that with in flic past few days it has been discov ered that a portion of tbe money wbieli was stolen from the Adams Express Com pany, at Montgomery, last winter, has been circulating in Charleston. The po lice of that city are on tbe track of the party passing the money ; and it is prob able that a portion of it, at least, will be recovered.” Tbe New Cliattabooebee Steamers. The Apalachicola Advertiser of the sth - says: By late advices from the West we 1 learn of the departure from Pittsburg of tbe two new mail steamers, John C. Cal houn and Munerlyn. Their arrival can now daily be looked for. The Marianna, Captain Van Teg’ •m's new boat, will leave about the I ... of this month. Cotton it Arkansas. A letter in the New York Journal of I Commerce, dated Little Rock. Arkansas, Sept. 20th, says : “It may interest New Yorkers to knew that the yield of cotton iu the Arkansas valley has never exceed ed the promise of the present season. Iftavy pickings are now made, and the 1 weather is dry and extremely favorable. 1 Tlie upland crop is alike promising.” Horatio J. Harris, of Vicksburg, Miss., for- twelve years United States Dis trict Attorney for the Southern District of Mississippi, died iu Ohio recently. _ ! The of the North Carolina Conference will be held in Beaufort, commencing on the 13th of December- . Bishop Early will preside. COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, OCTOBER 18, 1859. Big Cotton Picking. The Canton (Miss ) Citizen of the Bth says that the following picking was done in one day, week before last, on the plantation of Mr. J. J. Nicholson, iu Madison county: John, 555; Blister, , 490; Little Jim, 305: Harry, 513; Jim my, SCO; Abram, 320; Clara, 518; Cre sy, 340; Jim Bony, 523; Sukey, 400; Anthony, 440; Cemy, 320; Ike, 370; Taitli, 385; Simon, 355; Bardy, 335; Jell', 320; Hem, 450 ; Jane, 29-5; Lane, 290. Total for the twenty hands, 7,915 1 pounds “clean cotton.” But here is another and still better day’s work. On Capt. J. Montgomery’s, plantation (Daniel K. Ewing, overseer,) Sept. 24th, the following hands picked the number cf pounds attached to their names : Garnson, 054 ; George, 018 ; Berry, 595; Lavinia, 711; Patsy, 079. Average of the five hands, 051 pounds! That picking “takes the dilapidated linen off of the shrubbery.” First New Sugar mid Molasses at New Orleans. The Delta of the 11th says: The stea ! mer Music, Captain Elfort, arrived yes terday afternoon, from Donaldsonville, bringing 10 hhds. of sugar and 20 bbls. of molasses of the new crop, consigned to C. Kook. It is from the Belle Alliance Plantation, Parish of Assumption. The Picayune, notices also the arrival of five hogsheads of new sugar, and ten barrels of new molasses from the Grand wood plantation of Mr. P. Bethel. The sugar was sold at 7§ cents per pound and the molasses at 521- ceuts per gallon. Trial of li. C. McDonald. The New York Times says R-obert C. McDonald, who shot Virginia Stewart at the Brandreth House in New York, has been placed on trial in the Court of Oyer and Terminer, before Judge Roosevelt. Ilis counsel applied for a commission, to be issued to take the testimony of mate rial witnesses in Mobile, San Francisco, and other cities of the Union. The ap plication was granted by the Court, and further proceedings in the case postponed until the first Monday in December. Tlie .Jennings Estate. It is stated that the members of the branch of the Jennings family, who claim to be lieirs of the §40,000,000 awaiting a claimant in England, assem bled at Charlottesville, Wednesday, the sth inst., to the number of fifteen. It is believed that they resolved to send an agent to Europe. - Tobacco in Soutli-wcstcrn Virginia. The Richmond Dispatch’ says the growth of tobacco in South-western Vir ginia is rapidly engrossing the attention of the farmers, and in Washington county, alone, over 1,000 acres will be planted with the weed next year. In that county, this year, there are 300 acres growing, which will yield GOO pounds per acre, equal to about §IB,OOO. Mr. J. D. Browne, the manufacturer of Agricultural Reports, was removed from the Agricultural Bureau of the Patent Office by the Secretary of the Interior, the Bth instant. The States says it was doubtless the desire of the Secretary to put an end to the plagiarisms of distin guished foreign writers on agriculture, on the prolific brain-works of Mr. Browne. Nomination for Solicitor. The various candidates of the Opposi tion parly for Solicitor General of the Chattahoochee Circuit, have requested the Enquirer to say that they have agreed to submit their respective claims to a Convention to be held in Geneva on Tues day, the Bth of November, at which time the representatives of tlie party will designate their choice. Florida Election. The elections in our sister State, Flori da, tire over, and there is no doubt, from all the data in our possession, that the question of annexation is forever settled by an overwhelming vote. The probable result of the election for Supreme Court and Associate Judges is as follows : Chief Justice —Charles 11. DuPont. Associates —William A. Forward, D. S. Walker. Hooper Returning. The New l"ork News of the 10th says : “J. J. Hooper, Esq., of the Montgomery •Mail, left town yesterday evening by the Southern train. He purposes tarryiog a day or two at Petersburg, Va., to attend tbe Newmarket Races, and thence home. The Mail, we should mention, is a State Rights organ, and not linked with the Opposition.” Georgia’s Daughters. Three of the most celebrated author esses in this country, are natives of Geor gia, Miss M. J. Mclntosh, Madam LeVert, and Miss Evans, of Mobile, whose new novel, Beulah, has rendered her famous in a few short months.— Sav. Mews. Increase ill the Value of North Carolina hand. A tract of land of 173 acres, belonging to tbe -estate of L. W. Winibisb, wliicii sold in 1849 for §7,000, was sold last week to Thos. R. Carrington, of Halifax County, Va., for §14,000 —an increase of 100 per cent, in ten years. The inspections of flour in Falmouth ’ and Fredericksburg, Va., for the quarter ending the 30th ult., foot up as follows : Barrels. Falmouth-.... 12.659. Ftedtricksburg 7,£04. Total 20,403. A duel was fought between Carter Ran dolph and Commodore Childers, both of Greensboro, Ala., on the Bth instant, near the Mississippi line, as we learn from the Marion Commonwealth. -Childers was dangerously wounded. The Waynesboro News is informed that four hands of Col. -Jas. Grubbs, in Burke county, picked iu one day, 1,743 pounds of cotton. This was an average of 435 pounds to the hand. The Constitutionalist reports the death of Judge Kemp, an old and esteemed citizen of Burke county. He was Ordi nary of the county at the time of his death. The largest load of cotton received at New Orleans this season was brought down from Vicksburg the 10th, on the 1 new steamer Magnolia, it being 5,389 bales. Major Robert Ellis was found dead in bis bed in New Orleans, Saturday morn ing last. He served with Gen. Walker in , Nicaragua, and bore an active part in the last expedition of Lopez to Cuba. 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. Picayune. Mr. Ten Brocck appears to be putting matters through with a rush in England, i London papers bring the intelligence that ■ he has made a bet of SIOO,OOO, §50,000 a side, with Sir Joseph Hawley, that his ‘ horse Umpire defeats Loiterer for the Derby of 1800. Mr. Ten Broeck pur- - chasdU Loiterer, when a yearling, for §2,500, and afterwards sold him for §7,500, having won §5,000 with him in a match in. the meantime. He is half brother to the celebrated Saunterer, but beyond his undeniable high breeding and promising appearance, there is nothing j in him to justify the high opinion enter j tained of his merits by his owner. Um pire has proven himself a first class ! horse. Sir Joseph Hawley is the most ; 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. — Fearful Wliilrwind—Ciiild Carried oIF a Mile Further particulars concerning the late whirlwind in Chowan and Perquimans j counties, N.

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. For the Daily Sun. 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.

St. Louis, Oct. 8.-— The San Francisco papers are endeavoring to make Broder ick appear to be the victim of a conspira cy, but the most prominent men assert that the duel was conducted in strict ac cordance with the code duello. Broderick’s pistol was discharged before raised to a line with his antagonist. Terry’s shot took effect two inches from the right nipple, carrying away part of Broderick’s breast bone. Broderick suffered intense agony from ilie time be was shot until his death. All the Hags in the city of San Fran cisco were at half mast, with other em blems of mourning.

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.— Richmond Dispatch. Pork Trade—Opening Prices. In this market there having been no contract made, so far as we have heard, though there are buyers for November at $5 75, and we understand that one party offers SG, hut it is generally supposed that they want them to fill those con tracts made at $0 25 to $0 75 last sea son, for delivery the coming November. The present active demand for bacon, and the bareness of tlie market of hams, together with those contracts, it is sup posed, will make the market open high, probably $6, as many think, hut the greater majority of dealers are deter mined to hold back until prices rule at a safer point, and this point is fixed in their minds at $5 or thereabouts.

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 Council anti the Market House, I The following action was had by the City Council in reference to the building of the Market Houso and City Hall,, at their meeting last Monday night: In reading the journal of the.last meet ing, Aid.

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.” New Line of Telegraph in Alabama. —The Greenville South Alabamian says : Mr. Farner and an associate have been in Greenville, and are now engaged in running a telegraph line to connect Mo bile and Montgomery, which will run along the line of the Alabama and Florida Rail Road, and intersect it Bouth of Greenville.
