GALE In THE IRISH CHANNEL

&c T was on sunny day in tie win
w ter Of Is, that we dropped down
the Mersey, and took leave of Liverpool.
Orr vessel was ship of seven hundred
tons; aud, as she spread one after another
her folds of white canvass to the breeze, l
thought had never seen more beauii-
full sight. The scene around was lovely
and inspiring. Innumerabe craft of all
sizes, covered tho waters far and near;
here large merchantmen, moving along
like e stately swan; there light yacht,
flying over tSe water with the speed of a
swallow; the sunlight danced and spark
led on the pillows, the receding coast
grew more picturesque as we left it astern
and the expause of the Irish Channel
stretched away in trout until lost in the
dim haze of the opposite horizon.

hours, but towards nightfa!l went on deck
again. How / started at the change !!
1t was yet an hour to sunset, but the god
of day was already hidden in a thick bank
of clouds that lay stretched ominously
along the western seaboard. The wind
had increased to smart gale, and was
laden with moisture. The pillows increas-
cd in size every minute, and were whiten
ing with foam, far and near. Occasional
ly, as a roller struck the ships bows, a
shower of spray would dash over the fore
castle, aud sometimes shoot even into the
top; on these occasions, melancholy,
foreboding sound, like the groan of some
huge animal in pain, issued from the
thousand timbers of the vessel. Already,
in anticipation of the coming tempest,
sail had been taken in, and we were now
heading towards the Irish coast, under
closely reefed topsails, courses. spanker

example to his tribe. Accordingly, the
chief, with bis delicate frame unsuted to
labor, aud himself by position above the
reach of want, threw aside his somewhat
royal languor aud ease, and established
for himself farm. This farm he piowed,
sowed and reaped with his own hands.
and proved in one season, to his astonish-
ed people, that ths labor of one Chippe-
way might make an ample years proyls'
ion for hia wives and children. his ex-
ample was contagious, and laid the foua~
dation of change in the habits of the
tribe--to which improvement the only
drawback is the facility, given by materi-
al prosperity, for resorting to tho whisky
shops at Crow-Wing. Hole-in-the-Day
himself is said to have sometimes falleu
under that evil influence, though we are
assured by one of the officers who had
much intercourse with him, that he hns
never seen him, either at home or on his
visits to Washington, deport himself 9TH

1t was at Crow-Wing, and in the per-
son of Hole-in-the Day, that occurred tbs
strange incident of an Indian chiefs chal-
longing and fighting, strictly according to
hecode ofthe dueIlo, with pistols, a white
man with whom be had some quarrel
The chief, probably unused to the weap-
on, was severely--at the time supposed
to be mcrtally wounded, but has fully
recovered. Two or three shots, it is said,
were exchanged. We close this sketch
with the GROWING incident Of Hole-in-the
Days career as the thinking bead of bis
people-namely, the dispersion of his
tribe into bands located upon special and
separate reserves, suited for agriculture,
their remaining lands being ceded to tho
United States in consideration of aid to
be afforded in the cultivation of the re-
serves. This dispersion involves the abdi-
cation of practical rulership by the head

Iiberately, in the interests of Lis people.

with the Government at Washington
Fl wise remuneration, in conformity 10
the signs of the times and to his professed
principles Of action, will probably insure
to the Chippeways, ere long, a condition

of the Cherokees and Choctaws.

unable to head to tLe wind as before.
there was still a prospect that we could
clear the prcmontory. Accordingly the
next few minutes were passed IN breath

on board. Every eye Was fixed on tat

boiled as in the vortex Of fnalstrom.
The ship seemed conscious Of the gen

huge pillows with gallant perseverance,,
and though each one sent her near the
shore, she met the next wave with the

in wild eddles under our feet, we drove in
the direction Of the cape. l held my
breath in awe. A strong man might have
leaped on the extreme point of the prom

The next instant hurrah met my ear.
We had shot by the cape, and miles of

an extract from q late poem, by OWEN
NEREDITH.]
Meanwhile, was thinking of my first love,
Ash had not been thinking of aught for
years,
Till over my eyes there began to move
Something that felt like tears.
Thought of the dress that she wore last time,
When we stood, meath the cypress trees,
together.
In that lost land, in that soft cline,
In the crimson evening weather.
OF that muslin dress. (for the eve was hot.)
And her warm white neck in its golden
chain:
And her full, soft hair, just tied in a knot.
And falling loose again;
Aud the jasmin- fower In her fair young breast
20 the faint. sweet s,nen of that jasrpin-
flower y
AID the one bird singing alone to his nest
And the one star over the tower.
thought of our little quarrels and strife
And the letter that brought me back my ring,
And it all seen'd then. in the waste of life,
Ssch very little thing
For thought of her grave below the hill,
Which the sentinel cypress-tree stands over,
As'd thought-"W ere she only living stu,
How could forgive her, and love her."

licanism attempted. The whole contest for
the most part was personal one between
the two Senators and their immediate
friends. We believe. therefore, that the
course of both received, just as it merited,
the disapprobation of all good men every
where, and especially OF their political
friends. 1t is said that Senator Gwin com.
menced the attack, but that is as likely to
be false as true; but it is certain at any
rate that both INDUCED in this personal
vituperation, the one seemingly with as
much willingness and readiness as the other.
Both, therefore, are alike guilty. 1t was
said and has been generally expected that
duel would be fought between them as soon
as the election was held. But, as soon as
the election was over, Senator Gwin sailed
for the East without sending challenge.
Judge Terry, however, took his place,
and on the very morning after the election
sent challenge to Mr.. Broderick, which
was accepted. The difficulty between them
was precisely of the same nature as that
between the two Senators themselves. In
June last Mr.. Broderick got into contro-
versy at the public table ola hotel with
Mr.. Perley, the law partner of Judge Terry
in which be denounced the Judge in harsh
terms becausehe had spoken disparagingly
of him in public speech. Mr.. Perfey chal
lenged him, but Mr.. Broderick declined to
fight because he was his inferior, and about
the same time announced from the stump
that he would fight no man until after the
election. From that time until the 9Th of
September, when the election was held MIR.
Broderick did not hesitate to repeat his re-
marks about the Judge and the Judge in his
turn did not hesitate to reply in strain full
ly as personal. On Friday morning, the day
after election, the objections not existing in
the case of Judge Terry which had been
urged against Mr.. PerIey, a challenge was
sent to Mr.. Broderick, which was immedi-
ately accepted. The meeting was appointed
for the following Monday morning at a
short distance from San Francisco, the
weapons to be pistols. The parties met on
that morning, but the police interefered and
arrested both the principals. 1t is said
they were both put under bonds to keep
the peace, but this, it seems, did not hinder
the meeting, for the telegraph informs US
that they fought the fext morning, and the
affair had fatal termination. MIR. Brod-
erick was shot through the lungs on the first
fire and after lingering three days expired
This affair, we repeat, is most unfortunate.
Mr.. BrOderick has been cut off after serving
as Senator for twa years-a position to
which he had arisen wholly through his own
unaided exertions. TO Judge Terry it will
be strange if the event be not disastrous.

The Shooting of Senator Baoderick.

From the Detroit Free Press.
The last overland mail from California
brings an unfortunate piece of intelligence,
being nothing else than the death of Senator
David G. Broderfck, who was killed in
duel on the 18th ult., by Judge David S.
Terry, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court
of the State. This will be regretted on all
sides, and will have powerful tendency to
excite the public mind against duelling more
than it has ever been before, and it cannot
fail to draw forth denunciations upon the head
of the surviving combatant, no matter what
justifying circumstance he may have had.
The sympathy of the public is always ex-
cited for the man who is slaughtered, even if
he be in the wrong, and there can be no
doubt that very many will now defend the
memory of Broderick who may previously
have not thought well of him. 1t has not
happened before for many years that per-
son of Mr.. Broderick's distinguished position
has been killed in the manner he has. The
last member Of Congress who fell in a duel
was Jonathan Cilley, Of Maine, and that
was more than twenty years ago. Very
many will remember the tremendous excite
ment produced throughout the whole coun.
try by that melancholy event. Very many
know, too. how fatal it was to Mr.. Graves,
who killed him. He served out his term in
Congress, and then retired to his home in
Kentucky, where he Immediately sunk into
an obscurity from which he never emerged.
All his prospects as a public man were cut
off in moment, and, after lingering along
for years, he died unnoticed and almost for
gotten. This was the last fatal duel in
which member of Congress was engaged
until the present one, and we shall probably
see very much the same excitement and the
subsc quent effect following this as followed
that.
This duel between Senator Broderick and
Judge Terry grew cut of the late political
campaign in California, which has been
characterized by more personal abuse and
vituperation than ever disgraced any other
political campaign IN the whole country.
Senator Gwin started out as the advocate
of the ticket headed by Mr.. Latham, and
Senator Broderick as the advocate of that
headed BY Mr.. Curry, but the canvass be-
tween these two Immediately degenerated
into bitter personal warfare. All &C.
counts agree in stating that they both lost
sight of all issues, national and local, and
their speeches abounded only with crimina-
tions upon each other. Not single princi-
pie was discussed, no theory propounded, no
question of local interest or national i'm
portance advanced, no defence of the princi-
