The Use 10 Which the Greeley Fund
Should Now be Applied-A Mon {
to the Greatness of the Dead.
One of the pleasant facts which have come to
our after knowledge since the amentcd death Of
sadly painful impression still left by that event, is
that of the more afiluent circumstances in
which his gentle aud noble hearted daugh-
ters are placed than was at FIRST sup
posed. Since this has become generally public
the proposition to apply the fund already raised
FOR tneir benefit to the erection OF fitting mOnu-
ment to the memory OF the departed journalist,
philosopher and statesman, has been very gener-
ally entertained. This worthy object appeals to
the finer sympathles OF tile public In q more
abstract way than the first scheme, but there have
already been many generous and spontaneous con.
tributions having II In view. The following COM
municatiOns may, therefore, be published by us
very appropriately and without further com
ment:-

ELBY COLUMBIA MORNING, JANUARY 80 1870

AN EXTRAORDINARY DUEn.-The latest
hdvices In San Francisco from the heati-
waters OF the. Kern River, whore the
fight between Charles Jones, the escaped
convict from the Nevada State prison.
and Francis 8. Armistend, who was pur-
suing him, occurred, confirm all the par
ticulars at fret received. Arnistead was
one ot the foremost in the capture Of
Roberts, Morton and Black. He found
the track Of Charley Jones about fifty
miles from the head of Long Valley, on
the San Joaquin River and trailed him
to SIawson's sheep camp in Vioalia,
where he was stopping. Armistead told
Jones that he wanted to engage a man to
drive horses to Arizona. Jones hired to
him for the trip. and thus matters rested
till morning.
!. In the morning. Armistead told Slaw.
son what he was after, and said he ex-
pected to have trouble with his prisoner
It seems that Jones had suspicion of
what was going on, for while the two
men were talking, he went to the house,
took Slawson's Henry rifle. and when he
came out, said:
"Here. you d-n ----. I
know your business You want to
take me back to Nevada, but will die
first"
With these words. he drew up and
fred at Armistead. The fire was Instant
ly returned, the shot taking effect in
zones breast. The fight now began in
dead earnest, and both men being armed
with Henry rifles, it was fearful. There
was almost constant stream OF fire, and
it seemed that nearly every shot took ef-
fect. The men were about thirty steps
apart Jones kept giving way. and
Armistead followed him up till he fell
from loss Of blood. Jones then rushed
upon him. but Armistead raised his gun
again and fred, shooting Jones through
the head and killing him instantly.
Armistead had tired fifteen shots, hit
ting his mark twelve times; while Jones
had fred eleven shots. nine of which
took effeotin the body of Armistead, and
either OF the wounds would probably
have proved fatal,
Armistead lived about two hours after
the. fight. He was perfectly COOL and
said that il he had killed Jones he was
willing to die. He requested Sluwson to
write an account of the fight. Whom he
frst fell, he spoke OF Aunt Sallie and
Charley. His last words were: '.Tell
her love -" The fight is consider.
ed the most desperate on record.

A council OF War and a Retreat

A Council Of War and u Retreat.
The latest sensation in political circles
here is the reported conclusion arrived al
by recent caucus Of leading Democrats
from different parts of the State held in
this city Wednesday night. The secret
leaks out, rs the secrets o! such gather
ings nearly always do, and 1t comes very
straight After lull and exhaustive
comparison OF views, it was conceded
that the defeat Of CAMDEN was inevita'
bic, though it was believed the Constitu
ton could be carried. But II was agreed
by these disintorested patriots thRt If the
adoption OF the Constitution was to re.
suit in making JACOB Governor for the
next four years, then they didn't want the
Constitution adopted because il it were
defeated they would have another chance
III October, whereas If adopted they would
be out in the cold for the next four years
1t was agreed therefore to be the policy Of
Mr.. CANIDEN's friends to make a show Of
supporting the Constitution till it wBscer
tam, beyond doubt, that JACOB would
be elected, and then at the last moment
vote against it defeat it and make the
election nullity.
We are not at all surprised at this, hay.
ing been satisfied from the first that those
who drove their party into the Conven.
ton scheme never did care q fig whether
the State had a good constitution or u
bad one, but were only laying the ropes
to lit themselves into office. Now when
they see that the ratification OF their con.
stitution will put others into Office instead
OF themselves, they are ready to destroy
it with greed as remorseless and unnat.
ural as that Of the sow that dcyours her
own offspring. But these disinterested
patriots are borrowing needless anxiety
about their constitution. Unless all signs
oil popular opinion fail, the people of the
State win vote it down without the assis.
lance Of Mr.. CAMDEN and his followers.
