A Inv Broken by IT'S Author.

The recent duel in California, between
Wm. f. Ferguson and George Penn John
SOD, in which the former lost bis life, pre-
sents o curious case. There is a dueiling
law in California, the penalties OF which arc
very severe. This law was drawn up and
passed By the excrtious Of Mr.. Johnson.-
[; provides that # death eDsucs within one
wear after the date Of the duel, from any
wound Unlisted, the Survivor, upon convlc
ton, shall be punished by imprisonment IN
the State prison, for any term not exceeding
seven years, nor less than one year. The
surviving party is liable Ter all debts OF bis
victim and fer the expenses Incurred, and
the support ofhis family during hls sickness
it he was not killed iu5tantly--and the
heirs of the deceased are entitled to recover
the sun of ten Thousand dollars.
The seconds, thinks a cOtemporary. were
more guilty than the principals IN this case
in suffering fge O. six shots to be exchanged
without making any serious attempt to ar
rest the duel. Mr.. johnson, 1t is said, has
property, and a lucrative position, and it
would be strange if be should lie called upon
to make good the provisions of his own law

The State Of GeOrgta.

The Macon Telegraph authorizes everybc-
dy to say that Georgia has over twelve hun
drgi miles Of railroad built aud pad for,
and yielding to the stockholders more than
an average Of seven per ccntum in yearly
dividends. Two hundred miles of addition
al roads are to be added to the present dur
ing the coming season. Fourteen hundred
miles of paying railroads is an extraordina-
re- show indicating the economy Of their con-
struction aud management, and the striking!y
healthy condition of tho people. The teie-
graph explains how this is The State tax
is not quite one-twelith of one per cent
The government, then, is economically and
honestly administered. Georgia is a pros
porous, and certainly will be a wealthy State.
They are not a fashionable people. They are
content 10 do business on business principles,
not to anticipate their incomes, nor even to CAL
eulate in advance how much prosperity will
accrue from getting largely in debt. The
bonds of such O State are better than the bonds
of any central government on the globe.
The Telegraph says further:
ave have cotton and wool and paper fac
tories, rolling mills, iounderies, and machine
shops, merchant, mills, marble yards, gold
copper and coal mines, all in a fouri-biug
condition, and remuueratins the proprietors
by handsome retuFns on the capital iaSested.
the cotton crop of the present year will
bring twenty five millions Of dollars at present
prices. The crop Of cereals is worth twice
that sum--the sugar and tobacco crop not
being included in the account.
The State debt amouuts to about two mil
lions, and a tax of one-ffth Of ons per cent:
would pay i, in two years. Oar banks are
solvent-our merchants 10 the best Of credit,
and the people generally out OF debt, with
full crops of cotton, corn, &c., on hand. We
have six male colleges, and colleges for the
fair sex in almost every village containing
five hundred inhabitants in the State. Lock
iug to this statement Of facts, is there a State
in Christendom in the enjoyment Of 80 many
of the material elements Of comfort, prosper
i.y, and success, as the great State Of Geor-
cia."

The First An.i-Gam!ng Society.

NANJEM.Y, MD, October Let, lSjo.-Is has
been recently asserted tina: Sir. Green, the
Reformed Gambler, was the first who got up
and established an Anti-GamIng Society, bu;
| have in my possession the proceedings @!
the first Society Of that kind ever formed
and it dates as far back as December, 1888.
If there was sny other before that period, |
have never yet seen Z record OF the fact.
The Society numbered seventy-eight mem,
bers, many Of whom are now living. The
following is q list of the first officers:
President.--Willism Smith.
Vice President.-Jane b.. Carpiater.
Secresary.-Wiliiam p. Flowers.
Treasurer.-John L. B.. Perry.
The first meeting WAS held at the Baptist
Meeting House, III NanjemOy, Charles coan-
~, Md, and vas temporarily organized by
calling James B. Franklin to the Chair, and
5 Committee was appointed 10 draft a Con-
stituticn, composed Of the following gentle.
men Bepilmin A. Adams, Vim. Smith, j.
D. Carpiuter, j. T. B. Perry, and Hatch d
Dyson.
Mr.. Green deserves a great deal Of credit
fer his efforts il regard to this matter, but
Mr.. j. d. CARPENTER, 10 my opinion, was the
very first to start the ball in motion. '~'llon0r

From n Fraser River Mines.

The aIgices from the region of the Fraser
river mines are from Victoria SepteDber 70,
and Fort Yale Sep tembcr 81. According to
the San Francisco papers, the news ls con-
sidered unfavoTable. The San Francisco
Bulletin says:
The news from the mining region is con.
sidered unfavorable, and has had a very de-
pressing effect upon Victoria, and the many
projected" great cities. Whatcom has in
c0ntlneptly "dried up," and most Of the other
places on the main land nave followed It's ex-
ample. Victoria, being the seat OF the uud-
sons Bay Company's government, as well as
that of tho COLONY Of Vancouver, Of course eau
not entirely 20 down; but i. has Of late, rapidly
receded. 10 the Meantime, we may say, that
it apparently suffers more under the irlla-
ence of a sudden panic than by any we'll
established evidence Of the worthlessnes Of
the Fraser river mines.
The waters If the Fraser have atlast fallen
and all those having claims are at work.
From the best evidence as our command, we
are led to believe that such are doing re-
markedly we'll. Bu: those possessing claims
are Il very small portion Of the miners. The
greater number are without claims and all
the rich ground yet discovered being taken
% they have become Disguised, and are fast
returning to California, roundly abusing the
Northern country and their ill-luck. The
number of such have produced a panic at
Victoria and the other places dependent upon
the new mines.
