a DUEL.-A duel was to have been fought
yesterday in Esmerada, between j. d. Pat
terson, Sheriff of Tuolumne couRty. and
well known character called Jack Robinson,
Of the same place. The weapons decided
upon were rifles; distance, sixty paces Pat
terson's seconds; sLeander Quint, Senator
elect. and Georges :. Evans, late Union can
dictate for Clerk of the supreme Court. Rob-
nsons seconds are James Stuart and George
Seckes; Dr. Walker, surgeon. The difficulty
originated in a discussion between the parties
on the day of the last election, on the great
question of the day. Robinson, being Il
rank Sccessonist, used language which the
sheriff could not stomach and on being
warmly demonstrated with, slapped Patter-
sons face. The whole resulted in a scutile in
which it appears Robinson got worsted,
wheieupon he seuta challenge to the Sheriff,
and it was accepted Both parties have been
assiduously training for the meeting and it
is said that Robinson has reached an aston
ishing degree Of eXpertncss with his weapon,
having few days since, at the distance de-
cided upon for the duel, lodged fifty balls in
a mark the dimensions of dollar piece His
friends, and men of his ill, are confident that
| he will pink his antagonist on the first fire.
However this may be, it is certain that the
friends Of Mr.. Patterson are convinced that
he has acted foolishly, even under the rules
Of the CODE in accepting a challenge from
the man lie had summarily chastised; but
they hope, notwithstanding the dead shot
reputation Of his challenger, that he will es.
cape mortal injury. We shall soon have
news of the truths. r WorHiie7 CdU 18Th.

AN ENPL ANArION BY FEEMONrS ; FRIENDS
WHY LEXINGTON WAS NOT REINFoRcED The
| Alta st. Louis letter of sept oath, says: The
tall Of Lexington, just at this juncture, gives
the Blairs, and Fremonts enemies at Wash
ington, a powerful argument against his com
potency, and they are all smart enough to
use it with effect. AS Fremont's name has
been mentioned SO often, as the cause of Col.
Muligan's surrender, it is proper to give the
version Of affairs as represented by one Of
Fremonts strongest organs, the Chicago Tri-
bune. 1t says
The question most frequently asked on
our streets is: why was it that Col Multi
gan and his brave lrishmen were left at
Lexington with barely 3 500 men to with
stand the onslaught Of the 900 rebels led
10y Price? We do not undertake TO give all
the reasons for the situation but we are in
formed, on the best authority that the case
admits of, that it was General Fremont's plan
to let Price work his way up TO Lexington
unmolested and then send a heavy column
! out from jefferson City to Sedalin, to march
| upon his rear, while General Pope's army
should move simultaneously from the north,
and surround and capture, or destroy the
whole rebel force. GA Saturday last, Gen.
Fremont received peremptory order from
Washington for five regiments of well armed
and disciplined troops. This order was
promptly filled, not with the worst, but the
very best regiments within reach. The raw
troops at Benton barracks, who never had a
mnsket in their hands until they went to St
Louis. could not of course be dispatched to
Il, ,,.,
accounts in some measure for the Interrupt
ton of Gen. Fremout's plan, to send a column
| overland to attack Price in the rear. His
only recourse was to send reinforcements to
Colonel Mulligan by water, and run the risk
of land batteries planted by the rebels at
Glasgow and elsewhere, to command the
| channel"

The Original Ground. - The English
Thunderer, the London Times, takes marked
notice of the significant fact thai. in discussing
the slavery question, the American people have
departed from the grounds occupied upon the
same question b. the sages and patriots Of The
Revolution. The latter took the humanitarian
view, boldly and repeatedly appealing to what
has often been denominated the Higher Law"
the plain lessons known and read in the Ter
scrtPsa. and the ier non scriptG, or the written
and the uGwriten divine law Our torefIthers
would have SEQ uted the iiea, that there was. or
could he, any doubt Of the immoral unchris-
tian, and evil, and only evil character and ten
deney of slavery. The wisest and best Of them
never supposed day would come in which the
South would have become so degenerate as to
oeny that slavery was NAHUM IN Sc A man
who would do this, would have been set down
by them as the very representation of evil as
smincntly entitled to, if not already possessed
of, the horns, the hoofs and forked tail of ''old
elousie" But under the evil genii of slavery,
the holders and their apologists have been such
apt pupils, that they have exceeded not only
all powers of ordinary imagination, but also the
impudence of their master, who. bad as he is,
would have blushed to the very gills had he
caught himself uttering so monstrous o lie as
that slavery is good institution, The South
rons have proved that
"Viceis monster of such frightful nien,
As to be hated needs but to be seen:
bot seen too oft, familiar with her face
hs nFst endure, then pity then embrace"
and they have Rugged the deformed thing 50
long that they have become Infinitely blacker

nearly ceased to speak or write of slavery, as
the hateful thing it really is; although there ere
honorable exceptions. Discriminating minds
cannot failt see in this the moral and political
slough which awaits this whole nation, unless
this demoralizing tide is speedily arrested and
turned backward. But the way to do this is
