The Brought,

The Equinox, the time at which we GER
tainly expected rain, to revive nature and
settle the abominable dust, has passed and
still We see no sign. Accounts from all
portions of the State speak Of the drought
as unprecedented, and the crops of corn as
very short, which, together with the failure
of the wheat crop, will make the approach
ing winter trying one for the poor. Al
ready it has begun to be anticipated in the
State Of New York. -

The London Times holds the following
bitter language, relative to the success Of
the Russians and Americans in China:
The Russ and the Americans, whose
position was SO little dignifed in the warlike
transactions, have received some reward
Tor their otiicious zeal in doing the part of 60
between. The Russ ANONYMOUSLY expelled
from the mouth Of the Peiho when he went
there in single steamer, and the American,
so cruelty snubbed by Yeh when he made a
treaty Of bis sympathy, 60 up in the wake
OF an English and French feet, and are
admitted to curry favor by conveying Man
darins and messages. Owing the federation
OF their presence entirely to our force, they
receive treaty. as the guerdon of their
rather mental offices. What the amount If
these ready concessions is we are not told
It does not much matter, for England an d
France united are too strong to allow anv
mediators to cross their path.

Interesting to Newspaper Proprietors.
One Of the courts of the State of Indiana
recently made decision, which is of in ter
est to all newspaper proprietors throughout
the Union. A controversy existed relative to
the charge for advertising, between the
Commissioner of Hamilton county and the
Patriot newspaper. It was held by the
Judge that "the.published terms of newspa-
pers constitute contract. IF work is given to
newspaper publishers without special con-
tract contravening the publishers terms, the
publisher can charge and receive according
to the terms so published. It is not neces-
sary to prove what the work cost. or was
worth; the publishers have right to fix
the estimate value Of their columns. and #
so fixed, no other questions need be asked
but the price thus charged can be recovered

The Fair ssOneS.H .

By reference to another column, it will
be seen that the ladies of the Lutheran
Church are going to hold fair. We do
not hesitate in saying that it will be some
thing nice, both for the palate and the eye
and then the soul may be stirred by sweet
music, for Prof. Turner's Saxe-Horn band
will be present to enliven the occasion. -
Come then all ye lovers Of the fair and be
refreshed by the pleasantsights and sounds.

We owe our readers ali apology for the

side, but suppose that the list Of premiums
will be interesting to them. An extract
from Mr.. Douglass speech at Joliet, occu-

incumbent to publish this, giving his own
views Of the great principles for which he
contends, because we had advocated his
election over rabid Abolitionist and Re-

Duel near the City between MIR. 0. Jen-
nlngs Wise Of the Enquirer, and Hon.
Shorrard Clemens


About sunrise yesterday morning duel
was fought in aretired spot, just beyond Fair
field Race Course, between Mr.. O. Jennings
Wise, one Of the Editors Of the Richmond
Enquirer, and the Hon. Sherrard Clemens,
Representative in Congress from the Wheel
ing District, in this State. The weapons
used were duelling pistols, and the distance
ten PAGES, or less than thirty feet Three
shots were exchanged without effect. AT
the fourth, the ball from Mr.. Wise's pistol
struck Mr.. Clemens in the right thigh, a
little below the hip, and passed through,
causing serious fracture of the bone Mr..
Wise was uninjured. The parties then
returned to the city, and Mr., Clemens was
conveyed to his hotel, where he now lies
under surgical treatment. The wound we
understand, has, as yet, caused him but
little suffering; or rather, he has thus far
evinced the utmost fortitude, maintaining
the composure which he is said to have
exhibited on the field.
The difficulty grew out Of certain stric-
lures in the Enquirer, on Mr. Clemens
course in connection with the claims of Mr..
Letcher and Judge Brockenbrough to the
Governorship. RicAmond South, Of Satur-
day.

EBr The Spectator thinks it has trium-
phantly refuted the charge Of inconsistency
brought against it and its party by us; in
our opinion, its article, instead of justifying
its position, only demonstrates the ability Of
the Spectator to acknowledge an error, and
shift from what it has found an untenable
and uncomfortable position. At'any rate,
the excuse of the opposition for coalescing
with the Black Republicans must appear
perfectly ridiculous when we remember that
before the end which they anticipate and
pray for can be accomplished, {. great par
ty, capable of making bold and possibly a
successful stand in the next Presidential
campaign-a party founded on one solitary

solitary idea,-that such party must as

pie, and for what? to secure the aid of a
little faction Of hungry politicians in the

in any one State, without the probability
Of securing one elector in the electoral col
lege The idea is preposterous. Now just
for the qualification Of the curiosity of an

Of policy our neighbor would have pursued

he have embraced the Crittenden expe-

the sake of a little variety, our neighbor
will come out and enlighten, and relieve
the suspense Of the public as we'll as ourselt

moderate for whig or know nothing esti-

drop Of oil on the sore, raw and bleeding,
caused by the failure Of coalition Of the
opposition faction in the State of New York.
If the election was left to stupid hireling
correspondents, it would require very
small amount Of foresight to say who would
be elected, but fortunately they are too
powerless to influence even one single vote,
let alone the majority Of the people. How

could not have fallen upon a man Of loftier
integrity, or one more likely to serve them
ably and faithfully. We trust that this sue
