An ELEPHANr ENRAGED-The elephant be-
longing to Van Amburghs menngerie created
great excitement at Williamsburg, lately.
by performing sundry feats not announced in
the bills The New York News says:
A man had been employed to bring some
shavings to the menagerie. which were bro't
in wagon. The man drove into the tent
and while unloading his wagon the elephant
| was observed to row restless at the sight of
the horse, which had white blanket on
| The man was advised to take his horse away
but before he could do so the elephnnt nd
vanced few steps. and knocked the man
down with blow Of his trunk. He next
seized the horse by means of his trunk and
! injured him seriously lie then seized tbe
wagon, throwing it up in the air breaking it
to pieces. His anger was now fully aroused.
and proceeding to the cage of the prairie
wolf he smashed it with his trunk, and re-
leased him. Next in his way was the cmge OF
black bear. This cage was demolished, but
the bear was chained up and could not es-
cape. The cage of the zebra being next in
his way, he pushed it through the tent and
clear through the wall Of small shanty at
the back ofthe tent. Then leaving the tent
he got into the street, pursued by his keepers
and hundreds of people, none of whom were
able to cope with the enraged elephant He
did not molest pussers by, but seemed to have
a great aversion to horses, which he would
pursue as rapidly as he was able, being hop
pied with chnia connecting his tusks with
one Of his fore legs. He was finally secured
and thrown upon his side by means Of chains
which his keepers fastened to HE legs. Ap
plication wns made to the members ola Hook
and Ladder Company, who furnished the
keepers with long hooks. One of these was
run through one of his ears and twisted round
until the poor animal could not move his
head from pain Of the wound When he was
perfectly subdued he was heavily bound with
chains and taken back to the menagerie.
This is the same elephant that few years
since caused such havoc by escaping from his
keepers at Harlem.

Duelling i'm California.

Tne following clause WIS adopted og the
people, November 3, 1859, in the Constitu
ton of the State Of California, the State
being admitted in 1850 Article IL, section
2, is as follows;
"Any citizen OF this State who shall, after
the adoption Of this constitution, 6ght a
duel with deadly weapons, or send, or &C
cept challenge to fight a duel with deadly
weapons, either within the State, or out of
it,--or abe shall act as second, or knowingly
aid or assist in any manner those thus often
ding shall not be allowed o hold any office
of profit, or enjoy the right of suffrage I'M
der this Constitution"
This article in the Constitution was inser-
ted at the instance of Hon. WIN. III. Gwin,
now United States Senator from California,
aud then member of the Convention at
Monterey, wher9 the Constitution was form
ed in 1850.
TO shog how little respect is paid to this
wise provision OF the organic law of the
State, it may be stated that there is hardly
an exception in favor of it. Almost every
member Of Congress has been engaged in
duels since its adoption. Hon. J. w. Den
yer, ex-membr Of Congress and Elk Cover
nor OF Kansas, shot Hon, Edward Gilbert,
member of Congress in 1859.
Hon W, M. Gwin, Y. s. Senator. fought
duel with Hon. j.. w. MoConkle, member

tice Terry, of the Supreme Court OF Califor
ria, and With what fatal result we have be

No War o,sh EngIand.-Little apprehen-
sion need b. fslt respecting the San Juan
dispute. The London Times, which, though
no official organ of the British Government,
has the credit OF speaking the opinion Of
the British people, has published the follow
ing sensible article, which shows that Eng.
land is indisposed to quarrel with tho United
States:
The only wish on this side the Atlantic il
to have the thing settled without loss of
honor. The Americans themselves will be
the chief settlers. It we are put to inconye-
nience, it is they who are inc onvenienced :
So. as regards the substantial interests of
England, it is only shadow, thing to diff
fer about. 1t IS case FOR the earliest posi-
BILE settlement, and, If possible, with some
security against its breaking out in auoth err
form. According to the letter transmitted
by Jour correspondent at New York, the
Americans have claimed aRd occupied the
island for three years, establishing custom
house Officer, who can, however, have had
Ne customs to collect. This does not agree
with the account Of our correspondent at
Vancouver, who asserts that the Hudson
Bay Company have been in possession of
the island in trust for the Crown. But,
whoever may have been the occupiers of
ohu VIC hultE lCdu5 nave low taken
military possession of the islaad, and defy
Us to interfere with them.
Till we know something more of the pro-
ceedings ofour Foreign Office and its agents,
We must, of course, call this a precipitate
Course; but Old England will take her ease
and move slo xly, she must expect young
America to be rather too sharp with her.
After the occupation the British authorities
seemed to have acted with prudence and
discretion, and there ia we are happy to add.
some reason to expect that the Amer lean
occupation wants the warrant not only of
the treaty, but also Of the Federal Govern.
meat. The State authorities of Oregon are
naturally disguised at finding British Colum-
bia so much more fortunate than their own
territory, and are ready to PICK quarrel
with US upon any terms. If it BIZ SO, and if
the United States army and navy have been
misled into mere bit of fillibustering, tue
Government at Washington will value too
highly their position among nations to FOL
low so dangerous lead. If it does it must
be prepared for the establishment of rival
empire on the shores ofthe Pacific.
To say we shall not and will not go 20 war
about this trife, is too much, because we
must assert our rights if they are plain. -
But it would ..be most idsous calamity,
equivalent to a gentleman having to sell a
whole estate to pay the costs OF a lawsuit
