WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER Il, 1859,
A New Monument.


THE desire to create some enduring me-
mortal Of the great and good seems to |
have existed in the hearts oil men, even
from times Of which we have no account
more authentic than can be derived from
the structures made for this purpose TO
accomplish these purposes an amount Of
labor has been expended Of which we can
torm no approximate idea How useful
family of man il is useless to inquire.
That they have ministered to the pride OF
many who could not otherwise have been
immortal, and that they have given eS-
preston to the worship of many is
quite certain, and that they have afforded
some aid to historical research is not to be
doubted But that it is worthy of such
an age rs this to be the humble imitaters
of the builders of the Pyramids, OF that
any material structure, however massive,
or graceful, is the most suitable remem-
brancer of departed worth or greatness is
question which it would not be unproGt-
able to consider.
This thought, which has been often in
our mind, was recalled by seeing the an
nouncement that the monument to the late
Iamentci Baron Humboldt is to be neither
Of stone or bronze, but that benefcient
institution is to be founded bearing his
name.
The plan contempates the equipment
OF able men for special researches and eI-
plorations, the immediate selection to be
made by the Royal Academy of Sciences
at Berlin. 1t is intended that the funds
shall be employed, not for the aid OF be-
ginners in scirnce Or those needing pecu-
mary assistance for the continuance OF
their own studies, but for enabling men of
known ability to prosecute specialresearch.
es, though attended with expenses beyond
their means"
1t requires ho argument to show that
such a movement is by far more appropri-
ate to perpetuste the fame OF such man
as Humboldt than any pile which artistic
genius could devise While the one
could but draw to it lew, and mutey
speak the name Of Humboldt, the other
seads abroad to the whole race, from a
perennial fountain, those treasures which
have made the name OF Humboldt pre-.
ciou9 to the scientific world.

for produce are SO meagre that farmers
can realize but little from their sales
barely sufficient to pay farming expenses.
Wheat brings but fifty cents a bushel, oats
fifteen cents, potatoes twenty FIVE cents
and corn is without sale. They have plenty
of food to carry them through the winter,
but no money. Many are leaving the

Wednesday the esth ult., and continued
a week. BY the verdict Mcdonnell was
found guilty and the others acquitted.
Exceptions were taken to the rulings of
the Court, and the case will be carried to
the Supreme Court. 1t is not unlikely
that new trial will be granted, and in
that case the testimony of Balm and Kelly
will be admitted which may have effect
with another jury No one doubts that
Mcdonnell is deserving of punishment, but
we think that, whatever may be his desert,
there is LITTLE danger Of his being hanged

leialion TO the progress of tue work on this
evee, III Coahona county:
AS most of our friends in the bottom are
concerned deeply in the Pass eyee, we are
glad to be able to record the steady progress
Of its constructions About two hundred and
fifty men are already engaged upon it, and
arrangements are made for adding to that
force two hundred aud fifty more in few
days. Gcntlemen who have passed there
within a few days report it the best aud
most fayorably circumstanced work in the
whole bottom The material is good loose
earth and sand easily dug and good for
wheeling. The Yazoo pass, running within
about 300 feet of the evee for its whole
length, is ten or twelve feet below the level
of the ground, and, as consequence, all the
digging is high aud dry, and tue wheeling
short. We rejoice at this on account of our
anxiety to see this important undertaking
without delay.

DUEL.

lOGLs
A duel vas fought on the 9Th inst. in
LowndS county, by two young men from
Greene county, Alabama. The facts as we
have been able to gather them, are as fol,
lows: MIR. Randolph and man by the
name Of Bell, had a difficulty. Bell chal,
lenged Randolph, and Childers bore the
challenge. Randolph refused to fight Bell
not considering him gentleman. His sec
ond, Mr.. Childers, in obedience to the laws
Of honor, espoused Bells cause, aud chal.
lenged him, which was promptly accepted.
The weapons chosen were seven shooters :;
distance, twenty PAGES; time, 8 o'clock.
AT the first shot Randolph's bullet took
effect in Chiller's head, fracturing the skull,
woundlng him dangerously, and it is feared
mortally.
There is some difference of opinion among
the surgeons who are attending on him,
whether the ball glanced from the skull or
enieed 1t and lodged between the bone and
the brain. He is in a very critical condi
ton, indeed, but slight hopes are entertain
ed of his recovery.
both the principals IN the unfortunate
affair were young men of wealth and Of
promise, respected and esteemed by all who
knew them, and had been, up to the date of
the challenge, very intimate personal friends,
Mr.. Childers, before the 6 meeting" ex
pressed his determination not to fire at Mr..
Randolph, stating that he had no enmtv
aganst him, and would not take his life.
lie did not fire or attempt to do so.
What a dark picture of horror this sad
affair presents, Two young men who were
personal friends, aud between whom there
was not even Il misunderstanding, arc re-
qured by the "Code OF Honor" to meet in
hostile array upon the " field of honor"
aud at once blight the brightest hopes for,
ever; and the result-what nave they ac
complished p? One of them has fallen; in
all probability ere this, his bleeding corpse
ills an dniimeIy grave; and the other is yet
more severely punished for this transgres
sion of the law of both God and man. he
oas desoated a happy home aud rendered
his own happy 10 longer. His future years
will be spent in despair, with the keen lash
iugs Of 4 conscience tortured by the mad
lening thoughts that his hands are dyed
with the blood Of beloved friend, and the
CORY vision of that friend, murdered by his
own bands, will be ever present IN Bis mind,
aud torturing it with wild unrest.
