CHARLEY DUANE SEEKS REDREss.-This morning
Charles P. Duane fled through his isadvocates, Nu-
gent Judah, libels in the United States District
Court,
Against j. L. Watkins, commander of the Gold
en- Age, and j. I. Watson, first officer, for $50 900
damages.
Against K. III. Pearson, commander of the John
L. Stephens. for $50, 900 damages.
And against Charles Goodall, master of the
steam-tug Hercules. for S2S, 900 damages
Judge Hoffman fixed Capt. Watkins's bail at
$4,000, MIR. Watrous's at $4,000, Capt. Pear
sons at 10000, and Capt. Goodall's at $1,000.
The complaints in these cases are very long, but
we gather foom them that Mr.. Duane was "a good
and lawful citizen of San Francisco notwith-
standing which fact he was forcibly abducted, and
put on board the tug Hercules on the 5th of June,
1856, and kept there handcufFed from A. NJ. till
4 p. NJ, while the tug ran out of the harbor and
when some Is miles of the heads, he was put on
board the Golden Age, banished man. At Aca-
pulco he left, and with other passengers went on
board the John l.. Stephens when she touched at
that port on her way to San Fcaneiseo. But he
was refused u ticket on board when two days out
her master had talk with him, owned that his
ship was once rescued from fiery end by Duane's
services in connection with the San Francisco Fire
Department, but still he must put the banished
man on board the Sonora If they met her. The
Sonora they met on the 26th of June, and the Cap
tain was good as his word.
On the Sonora Duane was carried to Panama,
where ticket to return to San Francisco was re-
fused him. From Aspinwall he went up to Grey
town, but the steamer by that route for San Fran
cisco had left so he returned to Aspinwall, poor,
friendless and forsaken A letter kindly given him
however, by Capt. Whiting, of the Sonora, got him
u passage to New York.
For these griefs and suHerings, Mr.. Duane seeks
to reimburse himself by these suits, which call for
Sl25, 900 damages.-S. F. Bulletin, August 18th.

avidity of an outcast or mendicapt. He bad pro-
claimed constitution free as any true lover of
freedom could by possibility desire, and had Thus
placed Garibaldi in fix. This indispensable stroke
of policy. if suggested or really approved by the
Emperor Napoleon ILL.,. might save him, but il was
by no means certain to do so. Another enemy of
Garibaldi was in the field Northumberland

sequent pillage and massacre, with which Mazzi-

the subject deemed that Garibaldis success is ard-

susceptible OF being transported had been sent
away from Naples, in anticipation of the arrival of
Garibaldi on terra frmd.
Four of the great European powers-if we are
to believe the reports from Naples-were busily en-
gagged in efecting the reconciliation of Sardinia
with Naples, which formed part of the policy of
the new Neapontan Ministry. These f0ur powers
are Russia, France, England and Prussia.
A letter in the Paris Steele says it was reported
in Sicily that FL De Martino, Plenipotentiary of
the King of Naples, and the Marquis De villemar-
ini, Sandman Ambassador ut Naples, were to pro-
coed to Palermo to announce to the Sicillians the
CONCESSIONS Of the King of Naples, and ask for
their acceptance.
Several of the Paris journals alluded to a reac-
tionary spirit prevalent in Sicily and attributed il
partly to the presence of Mazzini.
The Paris correspondent of the London Times
says; According to the last accounts received
from Rome, the Pope is not only disposed to grant
liberal Constitution, but he is also further in
clined to adhere to the suggestions of the Emperor
Napoleon, to constitute iederstive empire as the
best solution of the Italian question. Notwith-
standing the reports to the contrary, the best un-

ADVENTURES IN THE ARCTIC REGIoNs.-D. W.
Hail. of New Bedford, arrived at this port, lately,
in the bark Frances Henrietta, having been from
home forty-six months, eight and half months Of
which time was passed in the northern regions of
the Pacific, during an Arctic winter. Young Hall
sailed in the ship Condor, 1856, being at that time
fifteen years Of age. At the last of the second
son in the Ochotsk Sea while in the Southwest Bay
October lst, 1868, the second mate killed whale
and anchored him. Next day the second and third
mates boats went for the whale, but not finding
him proceeded to a native settlement, Jimakan, at
the head of the Bay, to stop during the night.
Here young Hall, and another boy named ELIAS ID.
Tolman, belonging near Amherst. in this State,
concluded to run away, having been recently i'll
used and whipped on board the ship. On the 4th
the ship sailed for Felixstof, and thence 10 the
Sandwich Islands. not sending or looking for
the boys according to their story The place select
ed by the young sailors for their winter quarters
was the inhospitable country at the mouth Of the
river Udskoi, in latitude 81 north but the
son advanced they proceeded with the natives to
settlements up the river seyenty-fve miles. The
people were mostly Russians, who treated the boys
with great kindness during the whole time OF their
stay among them. They suffered considerably
from hunger, and Hall was very sick tor three
weeks with disease somewhat like fever and
ague. During the winter thirteen OF the native
COngoes died Of this disease. Their food consisted
mostly OF nsh ana sort OF morse Deer. In June,
1859, Captain Morrison of the ship Daniel Wood,
of this port (having seen advertisement at Hon.
olulu in relation to Hail. sent boat into the Bay
and took the boys on board his ship, where they
staid during the season, and were brought 10 the
Sandwich Islands. We understand that young
Hall has Journal Of his terrible winters expert
ence, which will be published at some future time.
Legal action was commenced some time since by
Mr. Hall against Captain biteside, of the Condor,
for abandoning his son on an inhospitabls coast,
which has not been concluded.--N b. Paper.

friend of the La. Democrat is much ma,
moderate than the leaders of his party
We should, from his last weeks issu,
scarcely recognize him as bed-fellow O
iancey, Rhett Il Co. He is so moderate
IN his views so temperate that we should
almost think that he had met with littl,
government chastiscment and felt almost
inclined TO kick. Did we know to which
one of the local editors we are indebted
we might be able perhaps to account for
the moderation in his political views, or is
1t the result of a consultation of the whole
lquartette, How this may be is of no con-
sequence.
You ask us question and we shall pro-
coed to answer it. Here it is:
- When new State, with pro-slavery
Constitution, asks Of Congress admission
into the Union, and is refused, because Of
her adoption Of slavery, by a Black Re
''J"iiiy, "Hdt W III you 90 ABOUT
IT! VIII you submit or will YOU secede
from the Union q
We answer, no State has yet been refiis
ed admittance into the Union because she
had a pro-slavery Constitution. When
that ever happens we shall be prepared to
deflne our position. We do not believe
that event will happen. The evils of dav
are sufficient thereof We are not ike
yourself so pugnacious as to place a chin
upon our southern head and dare tbn
North to kick it off. These threats of what
we will do if they do this, daring the
North to do this and not to do that is
what is causing all the trouble of the
present time.
If you are not satisfied we will give vol,
another dose next week.
