Fatal Accident-The Spirit Of the
South (East Feliciana) says:
A lad named Edward Lane. while
hunting a short distance from town on
Monday last, accidentally shot himself:
The load passed through the right arm,
severing the main artery and producing
severe hemorrhage. Drs. Taylor and
Langworthy were ON hand immediately
and rendered surgical ASST lance.
We are sorry to say that all help
was of no avail. The unfortunate youth
died this morning about S o'clock, in
great agony. He was of Remark able
corpulence for one of his age, and Was
in perfect health.
Murdered by a RnnaUay.-The Ter
rebonne Ci+ic Guard of Thursday last
has the following:
A sad and melancholy affair took
place in this parish a few days ago:
A negro belonging to O. II. Aycock q
Co, stabbed and killed Pierre Beck
mel, the engineer on the plantation of
Aycock q Co. The negro man was a
runaway and the dogs were in pursuit
of hin, and Mr.. Becknel had joined in
the chase, and on his coming up with
the negro, he attempted to stop him,
they clinched, both had knives, but
Mr. Becknel drew his knife with a
scabbard on it, and the villainous ne
gro plunged his knife into the side of
Mr.. Becknel, causing death in n short
time. After the rencOntre, Mr.. Aycock
came up and made an attack on the
negro with his loaded whip; but
the whip soon gave iway, and Mr..
A. saw demonstrations in the Negroes
countenance to attack him, so he told
him to go. 1t seems that he is vii
lain and has always been troublesome
on the place, and if not killed in the
woods he will no doubt meet Justice at
the end of strong halter. Mr.. Beck
mel was a poor man of family, a good
citizen and highly respected.
Judge Douglas at Vichsburg.-Tho
Wing of Saturday says:
Hon. Stephen A. Douglas passed up
the river yesterday morning, on the
steamer James Battle, en- route for his
plantation in Washington county: A
large crowd assembled on the wharf
boat while the Battle was at the landing,
and called for the distinguished gentle
man. He came forward and spoke for
about twenty minutes. He declared
that he was in favor of the maintenance
of the Union under the Constitution,
and said the administration of Lincoln
was powerless, as both houses of Con-
gress were opposed to his policy, and
if the South kept her members in their
seats, he would be unable to carry out
single measure of Republicanism.
He was repeatedly cheered by the
crowd and the Senator remarked that
he considered it a good omen, that at
the most important pointin Mississippi,
Union sentiments were still appreciated.
Judge Douglas was in fine health. He
will remain on his plantation for a few
days, when he will be joined by his
family and proceed homeward.

warm few days past for the month
of November; it is not deemed advan-

this season, to insure the safety of some
of their productions. The river

The Consequences Of Secessiom.-
We heard one of our largest and most
inteiligent planters say, few days
ago, that if the State determined to
secedc from the Union, he would leave
it. lie would not live in any State that
would repudiate her honest debts aud
then secede from the Union without
cause. A few demagogues in this
State are doing more to injure the
State, pccmiarily, than all the Adolf

derstand. We hope she will not follow
the counsel of any of her political mad
caps of any party. But neither the
South nor the North seem disposed TO
initiate the example of those who lived
in the earlier days of our republic. "A
lifelong devotion to our country is
now no passport to Office. The people
have been harassed, deluded, and
excited by cunning politicians until
they are stupefed. They are ready to
give up in despair, and let the govern
ment be entirely controlled by those
who made politics their trade.

The Black Law in Missouri.

The St. Louis Euening News says the
Free Negro law, which has just passed
the Senate of Missouri, is harsh and op-
pressivc in the extreme. It prohibits any
STAKEHOLDER from rewarding his faithful
slave for long years Of devoted service, by
giving him his freedom, unless he enters
into bond of $4,000 to remove the
emancipated slave from the State forever.
1t provides that every free negro or mu-
latto, over the age Of 18 years, now living
in the State, shall leave it before the first
Monday in September, 1860, on pain of
being sold at public auction into slavery
for life. All free negroes and mulattoes
under Is years Of age shall be bound as
apprentices till they are 2l years of age,
twelve months after the expiration of
which they shall leave the State or be
sold into Slavery. Any free negro or
mulatto who shall come into the State
after the first Monday in September 1861
and remain twenty -four hours, shall be
sold:into slavery. Such ale the. leading
provisions of the bill. tits positively

GONE trouble arising from the obstinate
silonce kept by the Republicans, is the impos
sibility which it presents of giving trut
pictures of their leading men to your readers
They sit like marble statues on their sofas
sometimes attempting to read newspapers du
ring speeches as that made to-day by .Othe
r. Singleton, of Mississippi sometimes laying
their heads together for moment and conver.
sing in whispers. ''Vote, vote!" is their cry
from the cessation Of morning prayers to the
moment Of adjournment and except for thei,
human figures, and human voices it might
be thought thau ninety one Democrats, twenty.
three South Americans and five Anti-Lecomp.
ton men were attempting to talk sense into
one hundred and twelve parrots, who had
learned only this one cry ;-"Vote vote! Vote
vote! Vote, vote !''- Washington Correspon-
dence.
We ask the people of Minnesota to
make a note of the above. Like the
wolf in the stream, they are determined
to find fault with the actions of tho Re-
publicaus, but can only bring against
them the charge of steadily insisting
upon organizing the House and proceed:
ing to the discharge of their duties -
While the "ninety-onc Democrats" are
consuming the peoples time and money
in making disunion speeches, and the
only response they can get from the Re-
publican side Of the House, is "vote, vote.
Thus by the confession of the Democracy
the Republicans are proving themselves
true to their constituents and the country,
and are faithfully striving to avoid the
agitation of the Slavery question, while
the Democracy arc forcing it upon Con,
grcss. Men of Minnesota, who arc the
"agitators," the "fanatics" in the present
Congress, and who the true friends Of
the country ?-&atc Atlas.

seven o'clock p. NJ.
SIR: Your note Of the 29th instant was
placed in my hands by your friend, Gov. Win.
slow, at twelve o'clock NJ. to-day. I know of
nothing that makes it necessary for me to
name q time and place outside the strict Of
Columbia to receive from you communica-
tion in writing. Your note was doubtless, as
nothing else has occurred betwece us, based
upon remarks made by me in debate in the
House of Representatives, in reply to pour
speech impugning my motives and the integ-
rity Of my acts as legislator.
On that occasion, l used no language in
violatian of parliamentary law, and none not
warranted by your remarks thus impugning
my conduct. 49,. ;.~4r i.I1tu
If your note is to be considered Of a hostile
character then have this to reply: Regard
ing dueling as at varience with the precepts
of the Christian religion and the sentiments
of Christian people, and it being prohibited
and declared crime by the laws enacted by
the body of which VIC are members, cannot
recognise it as a justifable mode of settling
difficulties among men, even in cases Of un-
warranted provocation. But my personal
rights and freedom Of debate guaranteed by
the constitution shall defene whenever they
ere assailcd.

very large. The products of the Iron
mines of Marquette, for the year 1859,
were 100000 tons of iron orc, worth over
s500,000. Eighty-ninc vessels and steam
ers were engaged in the commerce Of this:
Port. The number of arrivals and de-
partures for 1850 reached $50; 30 sailing
vessels and steamers being the greatest
number at one time in the harbor. Ihayc
not received, as yet, the official report
showing the number Of barrels Of fish cx-
ported from this Lake, or Of the Lumber
busincss-now nearly monopolizcd by the
City of Superior and the North-Shorc Of:
Minnesota.
1t is an uodoubtcd fact that quantities
of Minnesota and Iowa -four arc shipped
from Chicago, 800 to 1000 miles to the
Lake Superior ports. Be it remembered,
that the distance from St. Cloud to City
of Superior is about 40 miles, and from
Superior to Ontonagon, vio the Lake, 160
miles, a total Of 300 miles against some
1900 miles from St. Cloud, rio the Chi:
cAgo route!
The population Of Lake Superior, incld-
ding the Indian bloods, may safely be.
estimated at Thirty thousand people
mostly engaged in and connected with the
mining interests. So great is the demand
for supplies Of vegetables, fresh meats,
&c., that the Saloon keepers on the steam
boats pay high prices for tho privilege Of
supplying this trade. They generally
sold fresh beef and mutton in 1850, at;
123 cts per tb; butter 20 cts; potatoes
75cM1 90; flour $50 to $50; corn 800
to sl.25; oats 75c to sl.00; &c, &c. I
advise the f.rmcrs Of Stcarlls county to
compare prices, and bear in mind that
after November lst prices and frcights
arc advanced.
The Merchants of Superior, during the
approaching season Of navigation, will
pay Chicago prices for grain, -four, etc.
Steamboats, arc constantly arriving, and
return frcishts from Superior to the Mines
are remarkably low, especially on cattle.
The distance to the celebrated Minnesota
Copper Mine is only ITO milcs-timc
required. about twelve hours
