The Broderiok and Terry Due,.

Iue 6IOoeIlCR ana IeIly buei
The Austin Gazette has seen Hon. Joseph Cros-
by, of Ell Paso, who furnishes that paper with the
following particulars of the duel between Senator
Broderick and Judge Terry:
Mr.. Broderick had publicly insulted Judge
Terry, by lar guagc rejecting upon his honor a
gentleman, and having lavowed that he would not
accept q challengefroIn any one during the cam
yass, the Judge waited till after 1T was over. He
then demanded an explanation, which was denied
and no recourse was left but TO challenge him
This Judge Terry did 1t was ut first prevented
by the interference of the police. By consent Of
parties, however, it afterwards came off. Judge
Terry was only successful in obtaining the choice
of weapons-the choice of ground, word, &c., fell
to Broderick's seconds. 1t was proposed by Bro
derrick to fire between the words one and two, but
objected to by Terry as unusual he afterwards
conceded the point, however. At the word fire,
Broderick fred, missing his antagonist. At the
word one, Terry fred, hitting Broderick little
to the left of the nipple in the right breast. He
lived twenty-four hours afterwards, and was bu-
ried in great state. The funeral sermon was
quite inf1ammatory.
: We learn that the seconds of both parties re-
gard the dues as fairly fought and intend to pub
iish joint statement of the facts.

the crew Tho captain was almost deiirious, and
in consequence obliged to give up communal

the vessel to the Tortugas Island; but owing to y

latitude is very strong we failed to reach the ~
