DUEL NEAR SHAsTA.-On the morning Of Nov
2lst, duel was fought about mile from Shasta
between R. 7. Miller, and James Gallas sher, the
former County Judge, and the latter District
Attorney of Trinity county. They fought with
navy revolvers at a distance of fifteen PAGES.
At the FIRST fire Miller was shot through both
legs, just below the knees, his own ball entering
the ground five feet in front of where he stood
The difnculty originated between Miller and a
man named Watson. Gallagher bore chal-
lengO as Watson's second to Miller, who refus-
ed to fight Watson one the ground that be was
not gentleman. Gallagher then gave per-
emptory challenge to Miller. which was accept
ed, and resulted as above stated.

SBAsTA COUNTY AFFAlRs.--The Grand Jury
of Shasta county, recently made report which
is not very complimentary to the county Off
cials. The county hospital, they say, under its
present management has become disgrace to
a civilized community. The report also finds
fault with the Official acts of the Clerk, Public
Administrator, District Attorney, aud Tax Col
lector, and closes as follows:
"Tbe Jury are compelled to notice the ine'
briate state in which the presiding officer Of the
Court of Sessions was during their empannel
and In such a state keeping jurors and witness
es in criminal cases waiting from day to day
thereby unnecessarily and outrageously adding
to the large debt, under which the county is la
boring"
The Nevada Democrat., 1859-11-30

PoRrRArT OF Prominent PoLTICnN.-The
Utica Herald thus describes Mr.. Fernando
Wood, Of New York:
"F@rnaudo Wood is the Mephistophiles Of
politicians. He is the 'mildest hammered man
that ever packed a csucus or got up q row. He
ia what boarding school misses would call q
'love Of a man. His form is slender but fault
lessly proportoned, his tread elastic to airiness,
aud carriage graceful to the last degree. His
forehead is broad, without being massive, aud
bis features regular, yet strongly marked. The
general expression oil bis face is that Of eternal
placidity. He might have sat for the portrait
Of oily Cannon in Ten Thousand Year :
and were it not for that pitiless eye aud those
closely ly-compressed lips, you might mistake him
for moral reformer or Home Missionary So
eiety agent. The face of Louis Napoleon is not
more sphynx-like in its expression. Without
the apparent duness of the latter, 1t has all its
inscrulRoility. We watched ii narrowly during
that terrible row at Syracuse, aud except that
il was a shade paler, you could not have known
that human passion had ever stirred it, He
has, 10 aa eminent degree, the elements OF a
suceessfal modern politician. He IL cool, in
trepid. Sbrewd; a man who would stand head
s5i sholleers above bis Democratic rivals in
the State.
The Nevada Democrat., 1859-11-30

HNDoo CryILIzAToN.-A correspondent Of
the London Times has the following clever bit
at the assumption Of the English people in re-
gard Il their superior civilization, as compared
with that of the Hindoos:
81 am no admirer Of the Hindoo civilization
or Of the Mahomedan democracy, but cannot
be insensibe to the fact that there is an ex-
tremely ancient, refined, and complicated civil
izatiOn among the Hindeos, and that there is
freedom and liberality in the social system of
the Musselman 10 all that relates to the rights
of the natural man which serves as some con-
terpoise to their intolerant aud fanatical and
religious system. When we iu Engand talk of
the barbarian tribes of India, or write of the
barbarian empire Of Hindostan, we are, to q
great extent, guilty of the same ignorance and
arrogance with which we Justly taunt the Chi
nese. The legal, judicial and landed systems of
India are extremely ancient and frequently so
good that we have been glad to adopt portions.
Of them. Their police is one of the best, if not
the oldest in the world. They have written
literature, poetry, history and religion. They
are adopts in the ictile arts. in the manufac-
ture of beautiful fabrics, in plastic productions,
in the work of the loom. and. though | cannot
join the worsbpers of their schools of music,
painting, or sculpture, l may admit their anti
quity, and give an ignorant adhesion to their
merits A Hindoo will tell you cast is the very
extreme result of high civilization, and if you
argue with him he will point you to your bear
er, or indulge in reflections on some supposed
wrong Of London chimney-sweeps and coal
whippers,"

Gov. Wise on .sOld Brown"--a Moral OF tho
InsurrectiOn.

Gov. Wise on .'Old Brown"--n Moral OF tho
InsurTection.
The Richmond Inquirer furnishes corrected
report of the recent spheeh of Gov Wise, Of
Virginia, wherein he gives bis opinion of "Old
Brown" and draws moral from the Harper's
Ferry outbreak. The following passages occur
in this speech:
Brown was not mad, but misinformed as TO
the temper and disposition of our slaves He
ought to have known that all slaves on our
northern borders are held as IL were by suffer-
ance-their own sutferance that they can run
to liberators in Pennsylvania easier than lIbe'
rators can come to their emancipation. lie was
ignorant, IL seems of the patriarchal relations
In which our slaves everywhere arc held by
masters and what bond OF affection and COM
mon interest exists between them and their
masters. And thus il was that Old Brown, the
fanatic of Ossawatomie, and LawreOce, and
Fort Scott memory, who denounced the mis-
sionaries as border rufians, became himself q
border ruffan of Virginia, and is now prisoner
for treason TO her authority. The slaves be
would incite TO insurrecLion and massacre would
not take up arms against their masters. His
spears was untouched by them and they are
themselves mistaken, who take him to be a bad
man. He il bundle Of the best nerves ever
saw-cut, and Ihrust, bleeding, and in bonds
He is man of clear head, courage, fortitude
aud simple ingenuousness. He is cool, collected
and indomitable, and it is but just to him to say
that he was humane to his prisoners, as attested
to me by Col. Washington and Mr.. Mills, and
be inspired me with great trust in his integrity
as man Of truth He is fanatic, vain and gar
rulous, but firm, aud truthful, and intelligent.
His men, too, who survive, except the free ne
groes with him. are like him. He processes to
be Christian, in commission with the Congre-
gationast Church of the North, and openly
breaches his purpose Of universal emancipation;
snd the negroes themselves were to be the
agents by means Of arms led on by white com
mandere.
