An Obeisance.

A man is sometimes embarrassed BY the
praises of his friends. The writer of this
article occupies such position. Their ad-
miration, too fatteringly expressed, has had
the effect, no doubt, to awaken expectations
in the mind of the reader which will never
be realized. But the humble parsonage in
question. washes his hands of all completely
in this attempt to deceive, and desires briefly
to say, that whilst ne is not conscious of
possessing aay superior talents in the edito-
rial profession, his best efforts will be directed
to sustaining the very enviable reputation
which he has reason to believe the paper
already enjoys.
1t is not the design to make any alterations
in the general independent tone of the PRESS.
The reader must not expect, however, that it
can be made to compete with those widely
circulated dalies which are centrally located,
with numerous facilities and vast means at
hand, to support them in their labors. He
must take into consideration, that small
mining town, ten or twelve miles removed
from the county seat, and. consequently from
most of its patronage; deficient even in the
advantages of direct daily mail, cannot fur
nish a paper with either the quantity or
quality of reading NATTER, to- be looked for
under more favorable circumstances. And
yet, it will be confessed that the newspaper
is convenience which no community of
American citizens is willing to forego, when
an exhibition of lberalty alone is necessary
forts support. They want it to make record
of local incidents, and when this has been
done, chief portion ofits mission is fulfilled.
Enough has been said on this head. There
are other subjects much more agreeable, be-
cause not so exclusively personal. The
writer is joined by his worthy associate in
the expression of a hope, that the liberal pat
ronage extended to the HYDRAULIC Press in
the past, may be continued in the future
An effort will at all times be made TO de-
serve it,

The ssveteran, Editor.

Most of our contemporaries are pleased to
term Gen. James Alien, of this town, a "vet-
eran" edi or. We accept the term as one in
tended to convey compliment: but neither
nveteran," nor that other name, ''Nestor," is
calculated to indicate or exhibit the gentle
mans claims to professional pre- -eminence in
their true light.
To those who are acquainted with Gen.
to commend him would be work of super
erogation. Besides being amongst the old
est editors, in years and practical experience,
he is also one of the very best. As a man,
the impulses which swell up from his heart,
are noble and generous. He is incapable of
knowingly doing any one harm and if he
has any prominent defect in his nature, it
arises from an exuberance of good feeling,
which prompts him sometimes to speak in
greater praise of men than their virtues or
the circumstances of the case would seem to
warrant. As a companion, there is an in
structiveness, a sprightliness and general
charm about his conversations which make
them at all times agreeable and attractive
His memory, for snch purposes, is most ex-
cellent, and his fund Of Illustrative anecdote
exhaustless. As a writer, his pen is contin-
uously redolent Of the classics. 1t sparkles
where it touches, and glides over the paper
with an elegance of diction, a huency of ex-
preston, a yigor of style, a sweetness of ut
terance, as if it bad been dipped Sn the honey
Of Hybla, and sought to impart an odor of
literary beauty and sentiment to the dnllest
and dryest of current topics. The scholar
and profound thinker are apparent in all his
productions, which are at once source of
pleasure and profit to the reader. The place
which he temporarily occupied on the HY
DRAULIc Press, it is needless to say, was not
only ably, bu. brilliantly filed !. and the
author of this article is free to confess, that
he enters upon the task of presiding over the
columns to which Gen. Allen has been coz
tribntor, with tremblings, misgivings and
trepidations.

The Duel.

On onr outside we have given some par
ticula7s Of she origin of a duel which was
to have been foaght on Monday morning last,
but was prevented. The excitement was
kept up throughout the whole of Tuesday.
1t was we'll understood that the parties were
determined TO fight, and fight they eventually
did.
AT an early hour on Wednesday morning,
a meeting took place near Grizzly Fort,
about eight miles north of this place. Two
rounds were exchanged with minnie rifles,
at sixty PAGES distance, the parties wheeling
and firing at the word. The principals, it is
said, exhibited great GOODNESS and determine
tlon which induced their respective friends
who were spectators of the scene, to inter-
pose with the seconds, which had the effect
of leading to mutual explanations, and thus
the meeting terminated
There are numerous other details involved
in the affair; but as it IS impossible to re-
ceive them. and set them before the reader
ties, they are omitted. The first arrange
ment was, that the distance should be forty
PAGES, the principals facing each other. For
reasons, al the requeSb OF the challenged
party, sixty PAGES, back to back, were substi-
tuted. DR.. Webber was on the field as sur
geon of Van Hagan, and DR.. Randall, for
Mr.. Moyes.
The principals in this duel, we presume,
are now satisfied. Had either Of them been
killed, community would have denounced the
survivor as murderer. As it is, the mat
ter is by many regarded to have been moth
ing more than a farce.

chap which one of the great parties has
nominated for President of the United
States. Well, Abe's portrait garnishes the
columns of the several pictorials, in which
his lip seems to be the most prominent of
his features, and his eye is as dull and hea-
w as those of wooden head. They don't
do him Justice. To convince yourself of
this fact, call on Squire FARQUHAR, who re-
ceived miniature of Abe the other day, by
