DUEL BerweeN GENERAL FREEMAN
AND JuDGE SMITH OF MIss.-On the 18th
inst, Gen. John D. Freeman, the Union
candidate for Congress in the third dis
trict of Mississippi, and Judge G. w.
L. Smith, of Vicksburg, fought duel,
opposite that city, on the Louisiana
shore. The Wing says.
They exchanged flve shots each, with
pistols, at ten PAGES; the fifth and last of
which was efectual-Freeman having
wounded Smith in the back, the ball
coursing across the shoulder blades.
1t did not enter deeply into the flesh,
and is not considered dangerous. The
cause which we learn led to the hos
tile meeting, was this: A correspon-
dent Of the Mississippian, in speak
ing of the speeches Of Foote, Free
man and Smith, at Lauderdale
Springs on the 22d ult., says that in
Smiths speech "he denounced Foote
as a traitor, and Freeman as a co,card
and hbeller." This was resented,
and terminated with the above result.
Judge Smith was taken to Jackson on
the railroad in the eveqing train.

showed fight, several Of them also. the
mob began TO fall of, and by ten o'clock
ali was quiet. The prompt and timely
interference Of the Mayor and police.
doubtless prevented much destruction
Of property If not bloodshed, and The
universal excitement among all classes
during the afternoon and evening may
serve as a warning in future not to tam
per too far with peoples gullibility.-
Had that mob once got into the Museum
it would have been destroyed as sure
as fate, nor would the lives Of Wood,
Crisp or Rice been very safe had they
come within the reach of the furious
rioters. Thus ended the "Wild sports
of the West" and tbs certainly to be
hoped that when its like is again seen
in this region, there will be ten thou
sand less fools than there were on this
occasion; for we havn't got Barnum
here in the West, and its no use trying
to initiate him. Adieu.

Hor.e-thIevIn9 In CnIICoruIa.

A gang of desperadoes in Califor-
MIA stole fifty horses on the Doth
April, and were followed IT'S miles
by four men on foot, who came up
with the gang on the 9th, finding
them secreted in a chapparal, in a
camp well provided with provisions,
and which had long been frequented.
Bradford, one of the pursuers, was
fred at without receiving any injury.
Seeing this, two others, more bold
and determined than the first, rose
TO their feet. The first, J. Spaford,
from Ohio, rose with his gun levelled
upon Bradford, when at the first
glimpse, B. shot him through the
heart; the second, John Emory, lev
elIed at McKinnis, but was shot dead
by that quick-sighted Texan before
he could pull trigger. Geo. NJ. Hol-
liday, the third thief, is supposed to
be one Of the first that fired. He
escaped wounded. There must have
been a fourth one, as two guns were
fred from the chapparal while Spaf-
ford and Emory fell with loaded
guns.

The london TImes ON Americana.

The London Times is the great
feature in newspaper life in England.
1t is conducted with master-abilily,
but with how much fairness and
candor toward matters American the
following, from one Of IFS articles
on the big lair, will show:
II the Americans do excite a smile,
it is by their pretensions. When
ever they come out of their own
province Of rugged utility, and enter
into competition with European
elegance, they certainly do not make
themselves ridiculous. Their furni-
ture is grotesque, their carriages and
harness are gingerbread, their car
pets are tawdry, their patchwork
quilts surYass even the invarable ug-
illness of this fabric; their cut glass
is clumsy; their pianos sound OF
nothing but iron and wood; their
bookbinding is that Of journeyman
working on his own account in an
English market town; their daguer-
reotypes are the siernest and gloom
lest Of daguerreotypes; their printed
calicoes are such as our house maids
would not think il respectable 10
wear. Even their ingenuity, great
as it is, becomes ridiculous when il
attempts competition with Europe.
The New York Journal of CON-
merce, alIuding to the general sneer
that the British press is aiming al
American matters there, very cutely
retorts, that no one CONVEX SAINT with
the state Of things here could have
expected from this country a display
of jewels, plate and rich silk tissues
to match the glittering stores collec-
ted from the old world. There is as
much difference between the two
Continents in this respect as there
was between the ruffied British
Grenadier and the ragged, barelooted
Continental soldier in the days oI
our fathers; the one was adorned
for a sacrihce-the other simply CIR.
ded for a mighty purpose.

,,.Je curiosity upon this point. but ! en-
terrain too high respect for her under
standing to suppose for moment tnat
tba simple truth will not possess grea-
fer influence over her opinions than the
nres,iest conceit that was ever woven in
he web OF the imagination. l believe,
.l.o that the motive which ! have sug-
oested will satisfy every intelligent fe-
male mind that has ever been at the
trouble to give thought upon the SUBJ
ject. Physical woman then can never
be initiated into the mysteries OF Free
Masonry, because she never was inten-
ded by her Creator to mingle in the toll
some avocations Of physical man. her
destiny is a much more lofty one than
this. The sphere in which she moves
is higher and hoIier; the light she sheds
upon society as the instructing mother,
the intelligent. faithful wife, and the af-
fectionate, con6ding sister, is drawn
from the cultivation Of those domestic
virtues which are at once her strength
and ornament.
PHYSICAL woman cannot participate
m the ceremonies Of the Lodge room,
but her image and her name are most
beauufu'ly and affectionately associated
there. II is a matter of duty, and we
enshrine them where are garnered the
most precious things of life. We car
II them with US into the very Penetralia
of our mysteries, and every Master Ma
son within the reach of my voice will
bear witness to the solemn solicifude OF
their presentation at the altar of our
God. In the fraternity woman has al
ways found friend. From time I'M
memorial she has been regarded as hea-
ven's last best gift TO man, and when, IN
the hour of afffiction, she weeps over
the desolations around her,in every true
and faithful Mason, she will find SYM
pathizing brother,
know you will pardon me in one
personal reflection before | close. Al
ter an absence of fourteen years from
your pleasant and hospitable town, in
the Providence of God | am again per
mitted TO see you. I have cherished the
remembrance of your many acts OF
kindness to me and my family, during
my residence here, as among the mos;
pleasant things of other days. Friend
ships formed then are dear to me still,
and though many have passed away
from earth and are now resting with the
silent dead, their memory is not forgot
ten, in my heart cherish them STILL
One here and another there has been
taken from the family and social cir
Gle, and they no longer greet US with
their smiles or cheer US with their
tones. Some, like early flowers, have
faded beneath the untimely blight. 9th
ers in manhood's prime and in LIES de-
cline have passed away. We shall not
live here always. Dear as is life, sweet
as are the influences around us, and
strong as are the cords OF affection
that bind US to the loved ones around
US, day of parting comes. But we
shall meet again. When the dreams
of life are over, in the bright and un
alloyed communings OF better world,
we shall have-a re union.

EIOPement from CnIifornIa.
The Panama Herald relates ih

following case OF elopement:
A lady at San Francisco, on the
morning of the sailing ofthe Tennes-
see, was quietly seated reading over
the list of passengers who had en-
gagged passage for Panama, when
to her astonished sight there appear
ed the name Of her husband in the
list! Could she believe her own eyes.
She knew that her husbands trunks
were packed and that he had inform
ed her she was obliged to 90 to Sac
'ramento on business which would de-
tain him a few DAYS." Startled and
convinced by the truth, thus mani
tested to her. she concluded to open
his trunks where she found SS,OOOin
hard cash. This she divided taking
$4,000 and leaving $4,000, the "li-
on's share," which was exceedingly
generous on her part. In due time
the affectionaie husband bade her
good bye. telling her he would be
ba"k in three or four days, and little
suspecting that she was not only cog
infant Of his villainy but that out Of
his means, she had provided amply
for herself. He left-went on board
The Tennessee, came TO this city, and
is now on his way to New York,
whilst his deserted wife is rejoicing
TO think that she has so easily got rid
of such a contemplate wretch as his
conduct proves hin to be.
