HORRIBLE DuEL.-By the Santa Clara Register
we are informed of the following particulars ola
duel which came off in Santa Clara county, last
week, near Gilroy's ranch, and which, in ferocity
and desperation, we find no parallel for in the
State.-It occurred, says the Register, between a
Mexican and native Of California, about game
ofmonte, and Colts navy revolvers were the wea-
pons used in the combat. Nine shots were fred,
and four ofthe balls took effect in each of the com
butants. Both parties expired Immediately, and
they were both ushered into the presence of their
Maker to answer for the murder Of the other AT
ter the second or third shot, the California crawled
on his hands and knees nearer his antagonist and
fired, in order to make sure of his victim. This
shot took effect in the abdomen of the Mexican.-

and the prices of hogs and their product continues
10 advance. Yesterday 81 So gross was offered for
large lot OF hogs in Shelby county, and the cur
peat net price is So IS toss IS net. All the city
packers aye in operation, and the number of hogs
sIaugMTedu up to last evening was about $4,000.
We heard of sale of 1000 barrels of mess pork
at SIG, and 1000 barrels of prime lard at 10
cents,
Last evening lot of 900 heavy hogs, from the
hooks sold at cents. Considerable sales of green
meats, from the block were sold at an advance on
previous quotations for particulars of which we
refer to our commercial summary.
BY our Cincinnati advices we learn that hogsare
now higher than ever before at the commencement
of the packing season. There is continued de-
1nand East for the New York market and at points
on the railway. G cents is paid. They are now,
we believe, chiefly taken on, dressed, in which
shape they are worth to cents in New York.
The number of hogs received at Cincinnati up
to Tuesday evening was 63,7tS, of which number
upwards of 10, 600 were driven from Kentucky.
The number of hogs packed in st. Louis on the

Keeping Sweet Potatoes.

MEssRs. EDrToR:-Sy method fer keeping sweet
potatoes through the winter is to put them up in
the fall barrels or boxes with alternate layers oil
wheat chaff and potatoes and set them in the room
by the cooking stove. We have them thus pre-
served in barrels, now good for the table, having
been kept safely through the past severe winter 1t
frequently froZe in the room.
To save well, they should be dug when the ground
ssuitabe, and after drying few hours in the sun
and air. packed Immediately away. The vessels
should be kept off the floor, SO no dampness can
effect the chalk. G. S.

ALLEGED MASSACRE OF $1,000 CmSEsE.-we
haveSa report from China by way of California,
that the rebelshad made an incursion into Human,
where they had captured the city of chun- chow,
after slaughter ofthree days and three nights du
ring which 81, 900 people-men, women and chill
dren-were killed. These dates purport to be of
the 18th Of Aug. The story is hardly credited by
the journals which make it public. A correspond
ent ofths New York ObssrUsr, writing from Canton
under date Aug 2Oth represents the rebellion in
.KwanESi Province to be in a measure sabdued, the
insurgents having been driven to the mountains,
and says that at no time has it been considered as
eudangeriug the overthrow OF the government.
Tsere probably but little foundation gor the report
orso large slaughter.

Marble IRoN-SouErHIxo VALuAuLE.-Some-
thing new, and certainly valuable, has recently
been started by company in New York. in the
manufacture of marbleized iron, which has all the
beauty and variety of color that marble itself ex-
hibits. The iron appears to be enamelIed, and the
choicest kind of marble for mantels, columns, and
table tops, are initiated SO closely that the ordinary
eye cannot detect the difference. The great ad-

Horrible cruelty at sea.

The Brooklyn Advertiser tells strange story of
monstruous atrocities said 10 have been committed
at sea by the captain ofone of Messrs. Grinnel &
Minturn's Liverpool packet ships. 1t is scarcely
credible: -....s..,
"The captain of the vessel in question, on his
last voyage hitherward, not only barbarously fog
ged every sailor on board his vessel, but sujected
them TO series of abuses that none but fend
could conceiveor execute. He caused heavy mar
lin spikes to be fastened to delicate parts Of their
bodies, and in this condition caused them 10 lie
dragged from end Of the deck to the other, be-
sides inhicting upon them additional unheard Of
torrents. Taking some offence at the conduct Of
the steward of the ship, he ordered linn, under
pains and penalties of the severeSt nature TO catch
three hundred fieS-and not one more nor less
same to be delivered to him (the captain) with
in a specified time. The poor fellow did as he was
ordered, and when he had presented to his tyrant
master the captives lie had secured he was directed
"to eat each fly separately or 10 be punished for
such omission to do So"
''Upon reaching New York, the villain would
have been lynched by the passengers and the crew,
had he not managed to escape by taking small
boat from the ship obtained its moorngs al the
dock, Officers were sent in pursuit of him, but it
is reported that lie had fed to Canada. His place
on board the vessel was, ofcourse, supplied by the
appointment Of Somo other person."

sCiScrsxArI.-The commercial and munufactu-
ring progress of this city, remarks the Nashville
Banner, have been truly astonishing. From the
last annual review of trade and commerce in Gin
cinnat we see that her exports of cheese, candles
beef, lard, oil, whisky, &c, have increased since
the years Of 1s4I and 4s, at the rates ofrom Is to
500 pet cent With this astonishing increase of
tsade, Cincinnati must soon, if she does not now,
stand without rival.
The public spirit and energy Of her citizens have
done every thing in accomplishing this end. They
have built railroads. dug CANALS and thereby thrown
into her lap the treasures of vas and rich region
of country. They have Established manufactures,
which are now supplying nearly the whole South
and West, and adding daily to their wealth.
The prosperity of Cincinnati should be an incen-
tive to every other city in the South and West, 10
ago and do likewise Andindeed it seems already
10 have inspired some of them with new energy
In our own city the increased sound of mechanical
INDUSTRY leads to the hope that we will soon ben-
dependent ourselves and have others dependent
upon US for their supplies. We have the power,
and may, by prOperenergy, accomplish the end.

Waarher- RIVER Pork. 90.


During last week, we had hardfreezing weather
most of the time with some snow and rain early in
tie week. The river came mp about five feet above
low water and hasremained at that stage since 1t
is now at stand, navigable for small boats
During this week, so far, we have had more ram
with dark, lowering weather all the time. This
will tend 10 keep the Wabash up, as well as make
miserable roads for travelling, which are now near
ly impossible in many places, making wood and
coal scarce and dear.
Canal navigation is about closing ior the season
between this place and Lafayette. The steamer
Julia Ann is now on the river as regular packet
between the two places, intending to make two
transiisa week as long as the nver remains open.
We understand the packets are leaving the waters
ofthe canal for winter quarters. Bad roads and
unpleasant weather make much against briskncss
in trade. 1t may be considered somewhat dull.
About five hundred hogs have already been
slaughtered atihiS place by McKeen d Co., who
will be killing again to-morgw If the weather is
favorable. Two establishments have been en-
gagged in beef packing, but will soon be through
and ready for hogs, few droHes of which have az,
rived and more daily expected, bYsrailroad and
otherwise. We hear that good pork will now COM
mand SIS per hundred pounds net This Is pretty
well up towards Cincinnati and Madison prices.
This business will likely be large Mt this place the
present season, and prices will fayorably compare
withthe prevailing rates at other points So we
are informed by those in the trade.-I'rrre HaHte
Express.
