DUELLING.-At the funeral ceremonies
of Senator Brodcrick, an grafton was deliY-
cred by Col. E. ID. Baker, in which is con.
taincd the following paragraph on duelling ::
One year ago j performed duty, such
as perform to-day, over the remains of
Senator Ferguson, who died as Brodorick
died, tangled in the meshes of the code of
honor. To-day there is another and more
eminent sacrifice To-day renew my pro-
test; To-day | utter yours The code of
honor is delusion and snare it palters
with the hope of true courage and binds
it at the feet of crafty and cruel Skill
Ii surrounds its victim with the pomp and
grace or the procession, but leaves him
bleeding on the alter 1t substitutes cold
and delicate preparations for courageous
and manly impulse, and arms the one to
dlsarm the other; it may prevent fraud be-
tween practiced duelists who should be
forever without its pale, but it makes the
mere g trick of the weapon" superiot to
the noblest cause and the truest courage
It's pretence of equality is lic-it is equal
in all the form, it is unjust in all the sub
stance--the habitude of arms, the earthly
trimming, the frontier life, the border war,
the sectional custom, the life of leisure
all these are advantages which no negotia-
tion can neutralize, and which no courage
can overcome.

generally forgotten.

EDIToRs MouNTAINEER: g.
GENTLEMEN:--Some few weeks ago I wrote
a few lines relating tothe expectancy Of giving
Common Law and chancery Jurisdiction to the
Probate Courts of this Territory. II 10 now In
my mind to write ON the subject Of the power Of
the Legislative Assembly 10 give them this
jurisdiction. Allow me to suggest that 10
America and in England the law is presumed 10
be enacted with the consent Of the people; IN
some instances this consent is expressly given,
in others the consent is implied that where
there are no human enaciments, the people may
chose legislature, aud that legislature may
enact such laws as they deem best for their own
and the peoples welfare. II there be no Con-
stitutiOH to circumscrlbe the legislature, Il will
be supreme, twill constitute the supreme power
Of the stateso that in the language Of an English
law commentator what they prescribe will be
prescribed BY The supreme power Of the Stste.
They will command what is right, and prohibit
what Is wrong" But II there DO a constitution,
they, like the rest Of the people, will be governed
by II; that il, they cannot enact law that is 10.
with It. II, further, there are a con-
.titution and laws superior 10 their own enact
nents, they still may enact any statute or pre-
'cribs any law that l. not inconsistent with such
and superior laws. II the constitu-

Snow. Yesterday morning, on lifting
our window blinds, we behold mother
earth, the roofs Of houses, the fences,
trees, and sllrnbbery alike, clothed hi
beautiful white drapery. During the
night We had the heaviest fan Of snow.
bestowed on as this season, measuring
siS inches in depth. This 10 us was q
little unexpected, though not unusual
IN our high altitude. TO the mountain
heights we bid adieu for q season; their
brown crests we shall not again behold,
until King Sol returns in power, whose
presence will remove the cold mantle
from their brow, and again invite dame
nature to the banquet Of flowers; re-
minding us OF the season when we
shall for d time lie hid beneath the
clods Of the earth, until He, who has
passed through the valley and shadow
Of death, shall return, and drive the
Wintry embrace of death far away, and
bid US return to earth and the joys Of
life again.
CALIFORNIA ROUTE. MIR. Leonard
Wines arrived in our city, on Monday,
the 21st inst, direct from California.
He informs us that he travelled the
Simpson Route from Rag Town to
Ruby Valley, q distance of about $50
miles. The Simpson route, thus far,
is reported By our informant as un-
Eeqnaled by any route formerly travelled
BY him to California; for, with the ex.
ception Of one forty mile drive, there
are good camping places at convenient
distances along the route every is Of
| 20 miles water and grass being ex-
lcellent, and an abundance OF wood,
with very few exceptions. Mr.. w. in
| forms Us that he travelled the Egan OF
Chorponning Mail route from Ruby,
here; he says this part Of the road
displays the most interchangeable exertion
on the part Of Capt Egan, who has
made the road all that can be desired
