Do You SEND PAPERS HoNE ?r-Thore are
great many persons in California, that have
friends in the Atlantic States or Europe, who
seldom write or even send a paper to them, by
way Of letting them know that they are still
remembered; that the pursuit of wealth has not
silcnced the voice of affection. When urged to
write they will use some excuse, such as ] am no
hand to wrto 'ain't got time dislike writing,
or something of that sort and so they go on,
missing one Of the sweetest of earthly pleasures,
viz; that of hearing from the friends at our old
home. Now to all such persons as we have des-
cribed, who dislike writing or have not the leis-
ure to do so, we should say, send at least one
paper 10 your friends BY so doing you will
confer more pleasure on those far away than you
are aware Of. 1t will assure them they are not
forgotten, although thousands of miles intervene.
The cost OF sending a paper is comparatively
nothing but a few dollars q year, while trouble
there is none.-S0Hora Democrat

Pleasant Surprise.

Our accomplished and accommodating
friend, J. W. Abby Esq, who has been for
some months past, without thought Of fee
or reward, leading the singing of the -Bap-
fist Sabbath School, received last Sabbath
morning a surprise which though little
startling to SO modest man, must have
been on the whole, quite pleasant. In the
Short pause that ensued after the usual ex-
.ercise, Mr.. Abby was approached by Jas.
M. Crank, ESQ.,, who, with few glowing
remarks. rendered to him, as token of the
the gratitude and affection Of the school, a
handsome gold pen and pencil. Mr.. Abby
was SO much taken aback by this utterly
unexpected scene in which he was made SO
prominent an actor, that he could barely
stammer forth his acknowledgements, prov
ing as did Colonel Washington on similar
occasion, that his modesty surpassed even
his other excellencies. We are sure, how
ever, that, had Mr.. Abby been called upon
to sing his reply, he would not have been
wanting in those sweet strains with which
be so often delights his friends The pleas
ant countenances Of all present abundantly
evinced that Mr.. Ably was not the only
person delighted and interested in what was
transpiring. x

The Convention.

The Democratic Central Committee which
met in Richmond on the 25th inst, fixed
upon Petersburg as the place, and the I'd Of
Dee, as the time for holding the fConven-
ton. The choice lay between the best and
the meanest situation in Va, viz Staun-
ton and Alexandra. but the committee
seemed determined to take half way ground
on the subject, and hence chose Petersburg.
Our wish is that the whole State may be
fairly represented, but the chance for it is
certainly very dull at present. We venture
this prediction that not more than half the
counties west of the Blue Ridge will be
represented, and not one fourth Of those
west of the Allegheny. We make it and we
believe it. s:,s ,,45ss

A Desperate Duel and Happy Riddance

The following extract from private let
ter written by one Of the soldiers in the
army Of Utah, gives the particulars Of one
Of the most desperate duels on record. The
tragedy occurred in Cedar Valley, during
the first week in September. The writer
says.
The parties to this sanguinary affair we're
two gamblers from St Louis, Rucker and
Peel. What gave rise to the difficulty was
that, in the course Of game for $1,000
Rucker played secreted card, and was de-
tected by Peel, who took the money-Ruck-
er forfeiting the pile by the false play.
The ensuing day the parties met at the
Suffers store; while there, some remark
by third party revived the subject of, the
game, and the quarrel Of words between
Rucker and Peel took more serious turn.
Peel said that there was but one way to set
tie the matter-they must fight. They ad-
journed outside the store, and taking sta
ton about ten yards apart, drew their
revolvers, and fired. Both fell at the first
shot-Rucker shot in the breast and Peel
in the shoulder One Of Peers fingers was
taken off by the shot. The second shot
took effect in both Rucker then raised
upon his knee and fire twice, both balls hit
ting Peel. The latter, bleeding from six
wounds, strugg led up from the ground, and
resting his revolver on his arm, and taking
deliberate aim, shot Rucker to the heart ---
Peel is not expected to live; indeed, as I
write, rumor prevails that he is dead.
Both these desperadoes came out from
the States last spring, and both had thou
sands Of dollars Of the soldiers money !,
which they had won in a professional way.
Their death is not likely to be regretted by
the soldiers"

The Fairs. |.

The fair which commenced At Richmond
on Monday last, must have been the most
interesting. that has ever been held i,
that place: Nor DO We say this to dispar-
age in the least the fairs which have been
held there heretofore, but think there is a
much broader scope for display where all or
any Of the States may be represented. A
friendly, emulation will thus be created
between the States, which it would be i'm
possible otherwise to create. immediately
after this the State Fair will::be held at Pc
tersburg, and from the interest manifested
by this society heretofore, we doubt not that
the fair will be equally as good if not bet
ter than on former occasions. A change of
place in our opinion must conduce much to
the interest of these gatherings, as by that
larger number will become interested -
There seems to us to be no better mode by
which friendly intercourse can be kept up
between persons Of distant portions Of the
State. There they are thrown together for
several days, with ample, time to compare
notes and correct each others faults, and Law
plans for the future, all of which tend to
the one great end of beneftting the State at
large. We cannot close this paragraph
without expressing our regret that our neigh
Dor Of the Spectator should think differently,
for it has been darling scheme Of our heart
to have fair at or near Staunton at no very
distant day, but without the cordial COOP
GRAFTON Of all the citizens, and Of the Jour
nais; this must Of course be impossible
Nothing would conduce more to the pros
perty of our town and county than such an
annual gathering.

The BruiserS.

After several months training and pre-
paration and continual exercise, Morrissey
and Heenan met on the 22d inst. and went
through a brutal pugilistic encounter which
resulted in both being very severely bruised
their eyes bunged, &c., &c. On the elev-
enth round, however, the .'Benecia Boy"
was unable to come up and Morrissey was
declared the victor, winning by the operas
ton purse of $4,000. Heenan's friends
say that he was not fit to fight, as he had
been in bed for six days previous to the
fight. He expresses his willingness to
fight him at any time after four months. It.
will thus be seen that some direful relics O.
the barbarous ages still remain, and that
they are fostercd and cherished by our fel-
Low citizens.

rs $50 Fire.


On Tuesday morning last, at about 4 o.
clock, the building at the Institution of the
Deaf, Dumb and Blind, occupied as me-
chanic shop, was discovered to be on fire.
and what with the distance from town, and
she particular time Of night, it was envel-
oped IN flames before any one reached it ex-
cept the steward. principal, and some few
attendants about the building These could
of course do but little. The Augusta Fire
Company were soon after on the ground
and by their most strenuous exertions, tn e
other buildings were prevented from burn
ing. Much credit is due to three particu-
lar members of this company, Mr.. Jacob
Steinbuck, Owen Keffe and John Beck =
The building was situated not more than
l8 or 20 feet from the new and beautiful
chapel which has been recently erected and
three several times it was on fire and seem
ed to be lost beyond all hope, but BY their
united exertions, and with imminent dan
ger to their lives, they directed stream OF
water which extinguishad it, It is our
humble opinion that such acts as these
should not be passed over unnoticed by the
State. Nor were the rest of the company
idle, but all rendered efficient service in
saving the other buildings. We would again
call the attention Of the Council to proyid-
ing this association with a proper hose, en-
CINE, horse. &c. and hope il may find it con-
zenient to help them. @
