CAPT. TnAv1s, in a shooting match in
Memphis, fired fifteen shots, at distance
of twelve PAGES, with his back to the
target, between his legs, with his pistol
inverted, against an equal number of shots
in the ordinary way with deliberate aim
by five antagonists, who fired three shots
each. The Captain rang the bell seven
times, and planted the other shots within
almost hairs breadth of the bulls eye,
beating his antagonists badly. There was
no wager staked of course, the contest
being for the championship.

The maxim, which says that "dead men
tell no tales, like other rules, has its ex-
ceptions. The. Mississippi Free Trader
produces the following letter, written by
General Quitman in 1856, which. eOnyicts
Senator Douglas of having completely
apostazized at that time from his Popular
Sovereignty teachings of 1854, upon
which he now falls back. In 1856, when
he was straining every nerve to obtain the
Presidential nomination, he was willing
to concede all that the South demanded;
but in 1857, when a Legislature was to be
elected, upon which his Senatorial exist
ence depended, he went back to his teach
iugs of 1854. His inconsistency, and ut
ter destitution of principle and sincerity,
are made manifest by this letter of General
Quitman:
WASHINGTON, March &c, 1856
M, tT)s0r Sir. believe that
at this day the Northern Democracy are
sounder and more reliable ON the slavery
question than they have ever been. The
Kansas bill has driven off all the COM
promisers, and left those that remain no
alternative but a full yindioatipn of our
whole rights, believe therefore they
will prefer a bold, ultra Southerner to
renegade.
In a short conversation with Douglas,
yesterday, he said to me, that ,ghat he most
Toured 1cas that tfmid iSOatheT1r men trOWld fail
z d shall be content with Buchanan, and
will sustain Pierce, if nominated. 1t is
also my interest to he non-committal; but
when write to an old friend like yourself,
will be frank Ny preference is for
Douglas. He is bold, fearless, and self
reliant Were he elected, he would be
President. He would not come into office
with a body guard of old fogies and poll
'ticians, ready to seize upon all the offices.
He is true to the South He demands not
only the use and enjoyment Of the common
territory 5tortLsis property, but insists ngo"
its protection there To him we are indebt-
ed for the Kansas bill, which now presents
the points of contact. He is the true rep-
resentatiye of this principle, and opposes
tie abominq6te principle Of SqWatter SOrer
eignfu.

LORD PALMERsrox has received depu-

empted from capture at sea. Hetold them
frankly that
t:He considered the very existence of then
country depended on its possessing the
command of the seas, and that it was ne
cessary for that object to retain the power
of Selling the ships, and especially the
seameq navigating the ships of foreign
powers. War was an enormous evil, but
still it was sometimes necessary to go to
war in self-defense; and naval power like
England ought not to surrender any means
of weakening her enemies at sea. If we
did not seize their seamon on board their
merchant vessels, we should have to fight
them on board Of their ships of war"
We presume that there is no ground for
hoping that England will abandon this po-
sition.

SOME days ago we made mention of the
fact that the young men of Richmond, the
Christian Association, had broken off
their engagement with Bayard Taylor, for
the two reasons that he was found to be
neither. sound in religion or politics. The
n. Y. Times took up the cudgels for Bay
ard, and in answer to its vindications of
Bayard's orthodoxy on both these points, a
New York clergyman sends the following
quotation from his lecture on Humboldt,
the same lecture which he was to deliver
in Richmond.
If the extract is fair specimen, the
clcrgyman's exceptions, it strikes us, are
pretty well taken:
''When ,Kepler discovered his great laws
he exclaimed, in a burst of religious
emotion, 20, Almighty God, j think thy
thoughts after thee OF this sort was the
religious aspiration of Humboldt. And
vet he had been accused of impiety, cali
led ian assassin of SOULS and it had been
snid that his world was a world without a
God. Because there was nothing in
botany which supported infant baptism,
no evidence in the palasozoic rocks of
Heaven, and only imperfect hints of pur-
gatory in the nature of the chemical gases,
they denounced all science as athcistic.-
rLaughter.l Humboldt rarely attended
Divine service, and he possessed an IN
bounded scorn for much that is called
religion. His religious nature was, per-
haps, too deep to find expression by such
methods. His was an exceptional nature,
beyond the needs of the mass of makind.''
Mr. Taylor said that, when he first visited
Humboldt, he showed him chameleon,
and after pointing out its singular eyes,
said: zone popularity of this creature is
his power of looking two ways at the same
time. He can lift one eye! to Heaven,
while the other remains fixed on the earth.
There are many clergymen who have
the same faculty." Laughter and APP
plause.
