We cannot deny that the acc, uiescence of the
Utica Convention in the ticket forced upon them
by the Seward faction, was rather inglorious
surrender. But, what right has advocate of
the Democratic ticket in New York to open his
mouth about the matter? It is notorious that the
National Democrats were ovemuled in their Con-
vention as rudely as the National Wings were
overruled in theirs. If the one persisted in APP
plaudng Mr.. Seward, the other as doggedly re-
fused to say word of comfort for Mr.. Dickin-
son. Mr.. Seymour is, in no respect that we know
of, more acceptable than Mr.. Hunt. He is sus-
tanned by John Van Buren, and other anti-slavery
Democrats, as Mr.. Hunt is sustained by Horace
Greeley and other antislavery Wings. Both
gentlemen were supposed, before their nomina-
tons, to be friends of the Union and the oppo-
nents of agitation; but both are now contending
for the Free Soil vote. The effect of such con-
test can only be to keep alive and extend the fell
spirit of fanaticism, and where it will end no man

pressed our approval of the general plan of settle
ment which that bill proposed. At that time, we
are fully persuaded not ten members OF the Vlr-
ginia Legislature contemplated demanding more
than that plan gave the South. From the day
when the Compromise was laid before the Senate,
until the final success of its separated parts, we
earnestly advocated its adoption as whole.
With what justice, then, can the News endorse
the assertion of the Charestown Spirit OF Jetfer-
son, that we, among others, have looked one way
and rowed another? But, enough OF our consis-

AFFAIR OF Honour in CALIFoRNIA.-An in
cident occurred at Los Angeles, in the early part
of September, which forcibly illustrates the state
of society in that place.
A volunteer Of Gen. Moreheads company by
the name of William Kari, one of Glantin's Col
orado company while partially under the inhu-
ence of ardent spirits, challenged DR.. Hope, State
Senator, to fight; the following being the pro-
gramme: AS DR.. H. rides up to the guard-room
of the company he is saluted by Karr with musket
in hand, and is asked to settle the difficulty be-
tween them, once for all, on the spot whereupon
DR.. Hope dismounts and orders Karr to shoot.
Karr in reply tells DR.. H. to enter the guard
room and get his musket, which he does, and
walks out ten PAGES in front of the house. Upon
DR.. HIS wheel, fronting Karr, they both fire, the
latter discharging his piece a little in advance of
DIR. III. DR.. HIS fire took effect planting the
whole load of buckshot into the upper part of
Karrs thigh, prodncing fracture of the bone.-
DIR. II. Immediately gave the necessary medical
assistance to his wounded opponent, who was
well satisfied with the valor displayed by DR.. H.
in the affair of honor. Karr is lying dangerous
lywounded, his recovery being extremely doubt
full DR.. H. stands justified by the law and by pub
lie opinion.

Opinions Of the Virginia and Tennessee Rail
road in North Alabama

Opinions Of the Virginia and Tennessee Rail
road in North Alabama.
The Huntsville (Alabama) Advocate quotes a
recent article of the Washington Republic on the
Virginia and Tennessee Railroad, with the fol-
lowing brief but strong remarks:
Very truly the Republic characterizes this as
the. safest and most direct line of communication
between the Eastern cities and the great valley
ofthe Mississippi al Memphis-and that the whole
travel between the North and South will be upon
it. The Memphis and Charleston Railroad will
be the main trunk of the Southern end of this line.
which, when finished cannot fail of being the
most profitable Railroad stock in the country"
Every one who heard COL Garnett's lucid ex-
PLANTATION of the different lines of railroad now in
operation or progress in the States of Tennessee,
Alabama and Georgia, must be convinced that the
judgment here pronounced of the peculiar advanta-
ges of our great Southwestern road is not extrava
giant. In speaking of the aoho1e Northern and
Southern travel, we presume the Advocate re.
fers to New Orleans and New York, or Boston, as
the termini of the great trunk of intercommGni-
cation. That portion of the South which may be-
regarded as lying East of the Allegheny Mour-
tains, including part of Alabama, Florida, &c Dr.
ga, South and North Carolina, will probably ook
to some more Eastern line than the Virginia and
Tennessee. The Richmond and Danvilie Rail
road strikes from Richmond directly towards At
anta in Georgia, the great railroad centre of this
section of the South. If North Carolina do moi
persist in her strange refusal to grant charter
for the connection of the Danville road with the
system of South Carolina roads at Charlotte, there
can be little doubt that that railroad will become
the thoroughfare for what we may call the South
East. A connection established between it and
the Tennessee road, by branch to Cor from
Lynchburg, would make the two perhaps the most
prosperous roads in the Southern States.
