GREAT MEN's DESCENDANTS.

is somewhat singular that many great n1eq. in ancient as well as modern times hare Eilher left no male children, or are isov represented through the femsIs line .or hy collateral connexions. Tn our own eiand the name of Washington stands fore smost. He was childiess. So were Mad ison, Jackson and Polk. Jefferson is !epresented through living descendants, oy As daughter only. Aaron Burr had a daughter, but no son. Winfield Scott has daughters only. James Buchanan, Wash1 sington Irving. William Rufus King, and others, who were distinguished as states men, and scholars, have never married
 It is the same way in France. Cor nellie, Racine, and Moliere, were child less. Voltaire was unmarried. Bona parte is represented only by his nephew. Guixot md Thiers have no children. In other countries, Of Europe, the same rule .seems to obtain. Shakespeare, Bacon, Newton, and Locke, left no male descen. dants. Milton's family consisted of two daughters. Ben Jonson Jeff no male heir. Pope, Fielding, Smollett, Sterne. Steele. Addison, Bolingbroke, Johnson, Gold smith, Hayley, Cowper, Wilkes, Thur low, and a long array of eminent literary and legal men, were either unmarried. or had no male children by their wives. The Duke of Marlborough, the Yelling ton of his day, lost his only son early, and his duchy descended to his daughter, by act of Parliament, finally going to her nephew, the Earl of Sunderland, when the Churchill family thereby became super seded by the Spencer family. Lord Hills utle descended to his nephew; Lord Mel. sons to his brother. Lord Lynedoch Lord Beresford, Sir Charles Napier, and cthers, left no sons. Lord Gives titles have descended to the Fowls family, through his daughter, The newly made Lord Clyde, better known as Sir Colin Campbell, is an old bachelor.
 h literary men, the want of succession is very apparent. To the names already Enumerated here, we could add others of mark and note. Reginald Heber left no son. Both of Lord Brougham's daughters are dead. Lord Lyndhurst had no son. Thomas Moore has now no descendant :, all his children died during his lifetime. Byron and Scott are represented only by the children of tkeir daughters. James Montgomery was unmarried. William Pit and Lord Liverpool were never mar ried. Burke's only son died before his father. Lord Wellesley. Fox, and Pal merston, had no legitimate children.
 The above principle seems very general. We merely state the fact: those who have more leisure may endeavor to ascertain the cause.--E Philadelphia Press.

DuExITNc. c.--Mr. Charles w. Button, editor of the Lynchburg Virginian, speaks thus of duelling, in connection with recent personal controversy: "Whatever motive may be at tributed to me for the expression of an opinion long entertained, do not hesitate to-pronounce my abhorrence of every principle of the sscode of honor" falsely so called. No man, in my judgment, entertaining proper sense Of bis re- sponsbility to his family, to society, and to his Maker, can recognise it; and these responsi- Utilities press with far more weight upon me, and give me far more concern, than the idle clamor ofthose who may choose to fix their standard of mere animal courage"

Eugene came out last month at Compeigne,
with dress wholly bereft of all signs of crino-
line. The skirt was made very narrow and
tight across the hips. and then dFaoping straight
down, was expanded at her feet by an immense
hoop of the old-fashianed species. 1t gave roy
atty ludicTeIs Look bat the ladies Of the court
promptly followed the outre mode, and French

IGNORANT PUPPYIsM.-The "Pacifc Medical
and Surgical Journal" In an article denouncing
Dr. Coles remarks touching the women of CAL
ifornia, says "there is no truth in this, as ap-
piled even to the Irish immigration of girls."-
The Monitor, with truthful severity character
zeS tiis observation as Ignorant puppyism," /"
and then remarks to the editors;
We wish the editors of this Medical Journal
to understand that they are, at least very ipno-
rant OF the characteristics Of Irishwomen, when
they thus nippAntty speak of them. We wish
them to know, that those women have come
from country where free-loye was never heard
OF, where Normonism never received one solita-
ry disciple, where single case of divorce was
never recorded where the purest chastity &C.
companies the lowliest poverty, and where the
honor Of bis kinswoman is a more sacred treas
ure, to the hambiest peasant, than the life that
animates him.
For ourself, we are satisfied, after reading DR..
Coles card, that he did in no wise mean to as
sert the calumny upon the women of California
which has been attributed to him. And if he
did, his calumny is ne more infamous than that
uttered by the Medical Journal against the aIrisb
immigration of girls"

Religion.

DR.. Scott, at the Mortara meeting in San Fran
testant country in the world where Roman Cath
olics do not enjoy full and perfect religious free
dom. In reply to this statement, the Monitor
asserts that on the 10th of May, 1858, in the
Royal Court of Stockholm six Swedish women,
five of them married, who had been brought
up in the Evangelical Lutheran creed, were con-
victed of the crime Of embracing the Roman
Catholic religion, and condemned to be exiled
from their native country, to be deprived of their
property and inheritance therein, and to forfeit
all civil rights.
The story of the young Mortara and these
six Swedish women, but illustrates tho history of
the Protestant and Roman churches, for hun.
dreds of years back, in countries where there
was union of Church and State.
Nowhere in the Constitution of the United
States is the wonderful wisdom of our forefa-
theirs so plainly shown as In that provision
which in effect forever separates Church and
State, and guarantees the right to all men to
worship God according to the dictates of their
own congciences. The history of all branches
of the Church proves that when they have had
political power, civil liberty was made to bleed
beneath the iron heel of fanaticism, The blood
lest wars recorded upon the red pages of hsto-
ry, were fought by the Church. Catholics have
fed Protestants to Wild animals, crushed them in
the iron chair of the Inquistion, boiled them in
cauldrons of oil, roasted them on red-h hot grid
dies, and slaughtered them by tens of thousands
as in France on st. Bartholomew's Day.
On the other hand, where the Protestants
have had the power they have been guilty Of
equal enormities against the natural rights of
man. Protestants have burned men at the stake
for the crime of heresy. Protestants, even in
New England, have hung old women and yonne
girls for the crime of withcraft. In short, Pro-
testantE as well as Catholics, have slain tens of
thousands for the crime of worshipping God
according to the dictates of their own hearts"
But with the Bible before us, we ought not to
wonder at the horrible crimes committed by the
various branches Of the Church, in the name of
the holy Religion of Christ 1t is the direct re-
suit of sin-of violated law. The Church of
Christ was not intended by its founder to be
connected with the governments of this earth
His rule of action on this point, when in the
world, was unmistakably pointed out to his fol-
lowers. Render unto Caesar the things that
are Caesars, and unto God the things that are
Gods" And since that day, whenever the
Church has attempted to arrogate to itself the
things that belonged to Cesar-persecntion
war and destruction of tie natural rights of
man have followed. Thank God we are living
In country where the Pope, nor DR., Scott. nor
any other priest can compel US to adopt or
support the religion which they profess.

Fircmen from Jury Duty, sc

Mr.. DeLong has introduced bill into the AS
sembly, which exempts tiremen from militia ser
vice, jury duty, and the payment of poll-ta1. We
have no objection to the details of the bill, but
as it is founded in error, we think it should not
become a law.
So far as exempting fremen from militia SER
vice, that amounts to nothing as we have vet to
learn that all men in California are not in fact,
exempt from that service. Therefore no wrong
would be done to any one. But when you
exempt some of the best men in the State
from jury duty, you commita great and perhaps
irreparable wrong to some other citizen In San
Francisco for instance, many of the best men are
members of fire companies, and if this act be-
comes law, many other Of the good citizens
will speedily manage to become members. Then
your jurors will be selected from the refuse, the
| canaille the rag-tag and bob-tail Thus you
deprive man of that city whose life is in peril,
of the privilege of being tried by jury chosen
| from among the best portion of the citizens of
| San Francisco.

Treasury ioI tuc Vi lue Stdtc. rlTeLueH )
service is rendered in behalf of their own prop
erty or that Of their fellow -townsmen, and not
in behalf of the State. Wherefore We are nm
| able to perceive the reason why the State
should reward iremen for services rendered in
behalf of themselves, their neighbors, or town
or city corporations. Does the fireman OF San
Francisco, by his services, do citizen of Shasta
any benefit? No. Does he render the State any
service? No. Why then should he be excused
from helping to support the State Government,
while the citizen Of Shasta is not
The fact is, the bill is based on wrong prin-
ciple. The highest and most sacred duty citi-
zen has to perform is that of the Juror Noman,
because he has banded himself with others to
save property from fire, should be privileged to
refuse q performance of the sacred functions
pertaining to that position, when the property,
liberty life ofa citizen is in peril No citizen,
because he may associate himself with others
for the purpose of protecting himself from loss
or injury should be exempt from a performance
OF the sacred duty of supporting Government
The genius of our Government is opposed to the
cre2tisn Of privileged classes. We trust that the
Legislature will not excuse any class or profess
sion OF citizens from serving on juries or paying
for the support of Government.

HUNTING WITH ARTILLERY.-Colonel Albert
Pike went out recently with Major Rector, Indian
Superintendent, to assist in the payment of tho
Indian annuities among the tribes west of Ar
kansas. 4 correspondent of the Fort Smith
Herald, writing form the Greek Agency, thus
describes Col. Pixies (unsportsman-iike) method
of hunting the grouse or prairie hen:
Knowing how wild they are, he came pre-
pared to outwit them. He hunts with piece
of artillery, six pouuder. This he hauls out
on the prairie, and when he discovers a flock,
he unlimbers, sights the gun, and touches her
off. He rarely misses. 1t is very exciting to
see dozen grouse futterng with broken wings
among twice as many dead ones, and the captain
chasing them round and catching them His
usual charge is pound of powder and quar-
ter of bag of turkey or swan shot He gener-
ally shoots at about two hundred yards He
killed, in John Sellss field, below here, tho
other day, thirty-eight grouse at a single fire.
Major Rector, who accompanied him, thinks he
must have crippled one thousand, that got off
among the corn-stalks and cockle-burrs.
