At an assizes held during the past year, both Judge and counsel had a deal of trouble to make the timid witnesses upon a trial spenk sulliciently loud to b heard by the jury; and it was possible that, the temper of the sounsel may thereby have been turned from the even tenor of its way. After this gentleman had gone through the various stages of bar pleading, and had coaxed, threatened, and even .bullied witnesses, there was called into the box a young cstler, who appeared simplicity personfied. "Now, sir," said the counsel, in-a tone that would at any other time have been denounced as vulgarly loud. .1 hope we shall have no difficulty in making you speak out." "I hope not, zur," was shouted or rather bellowed out by the witness, in tones which almost shook the building, and would cer tainly have alarmed any timid or nervous lady. "How dare you speak in that way, - sir?" "Please, zur, I can't speak any louder," said the astonished witness, attempting to speak louder than before, evidently thinking the fault to be in his speaking too softly. " Piay have you been drinking this morn. ing?" shouted the counsel who had now thoroughly lost the last remnant of his temper. "Yes, zur,"' was the reply. " And what have you been drinkiug?" "Coffee, zur." "And what did you have in your coffee, sir ?" shouted the exasperated counsel. "A spun, zr.'" innocently bawled the wit ness, in his highest key, amidst the roars of the whole court-excepting only the now thoroughly wild counsel, who flung down his brief,Ta'rushed out-t1cour.t. Western Eloquence. Gentlemen of the jury-can you for an in stant suppose that my elient here, a man that has always sustained a high depredation in society, a man who you all on you suspect and esteem lbr his many good qualities; yes, gen tlemen, a man who never drinks more than does him good-say a quart s day-can you for an instant supposo that ere man would be pfilty of a taking a box of percussion caps ? Pieter to yourselves, genwlemen, an individual fast asleep in his log cabin, with his innocent wi!e and orphan children by his side-all na ture hushed in deep repose, and nought to be heard but the muttering of the silent thunder and the nouise of the roaring winds; then ina gine to yourselves a-i individual making his way to the door like a hyenn, softly entering the dwelling of' thme peaceful and happy family, and in the most dastar ly manner abstracting a whole box of uercusshun I Gentlemen, I 'will not, I cannot dwell upon such a scene. My feelings turn from such a piter of moral turpentine ! I cannot for an instant harbor the idea that any man, much less this ere mnan, could be guilty of commit ing an act of such unexampleid discretion. And now, gentlemen, after this brief view of the case, let me retreat of you to make up your winds candidly and unpartially, and give us such a verdict as we might reasonably suspect from such an enlighted and intolerant boudy of fellow citizens-remembering, that in the words of him who fell in the battle of Bunker 11i1l, it is better that ten innocent men escape, rather than one guilty should suffer. Judge, ,i--c us a piceS of tobacco! FontY or PamOE.-Take some quiet sober moment of life, and add together the two ideas of pride and moan. Behold him, creature of a span, stalking through infinite space in all the grandeur of littleness. Perched on a speck of the universe, every wind of Heaven rikes into his blood the coldness of death ; his soul floats from his body like melody from the string ; day and night, like dust on the wheel, he is rolled along the heavens, through a habyrinth of worlds and all the creations of God are flaming above and beneath. Is this a creature to make for himself a crown of lorv, to de ny his own flesh, to mock his fel low,'sprung from that dust to which they both will return ? Does the proud man not err ? Does he not suffer? Does he not die? When he reasons, is he not often stopped by difli culties ? When he acts, is he never tempted by pleasure ? WVhen he lives, is he free from pain ? When he dies, can he escape the comn mnon grave ? l'ride is not the heritage of man; humility should dwell with frailty, and atone for ignorance, error and imperfection. -Sidney Smith. (G.vrlEat -irHE LEAvES.-No inanure is so well werth saving in October and November as the row falling leaves of the season. Ac cording to Payne, they contain nearly three times. as much .nitrogen as ordinary barn yard niltnure; and every gardener who has strewvn and covered themi in his trenches late in the fall or in December, nmust have no tced the next season how black and moist the soil is that adheres to the thbrifty young beets lhe pulls.

He took it out with the intention of having a new onie put in, when, to his astonishment, he dis covered notes of the bank of England, behind it, amnounting to about $3,000.

The New York Ecening Post, of Oct. 13th, has a lengthy account of a fashionable maW riage, which took place in that city; and which has been alluded to, for some time by the press. We take several extracts fromi the article in the' Post: - A Fasionable Wedding.-To-day, accord! ing to the announcement given in most of the papers, and to the invitations so profusely scattered around, the nuptial ceremonies b tween Don Esteban Santa Cruz do Oviedd and Miss Bartlett, the daughter of Lieutei ant Bartlett, took place at St. Patrick's Cathe dral in Mott street. At quite an early hour this morning, the doors of the cathedral were besieged by anx ious visitors, chiefly ladies, and as soon as the doors were opened numbers entered. Cards of invitation to be presented at the door-. were issued for the benefit of the invited guests, who were provided with cards. - Half-past eleven was the time appointed for the ceremony, andas that'hour approached the crowd increased. Policemen were stad tioned at the gates of the iron railings thaf surrounded the Cathedral, to prevent any on$ from entering the enclosure unprovided witf tickets. Although the holders of tickets were as; sured that seats would be reserved for theni till half-past eleven, every seat was occupied, an hour before that time, and even the aisle were also crowded to suffocation with stand. ing committees. A few disconnected volung taries on the organ served to beguile the times The vast body of people rendered the aii warm and close, and notwithstanding thaV the windows were wide open, the state of the atmosphere was almost insufferable. At about twelve o'clock the bridal party appeared in the chancel, the parents of thi bride with several ecclesiasticals, leading the procession, 'which included six bridesmaids and groomsmen. The bride enveloped from head to foot in a rich white veil, took withV her intended a position in the centre, while the others were arranged so as to f r.n a semi-circle. Archbishop Hughes officiated. His mag-; nificent attire of embroidered silk and gold, was further enhanced by the large gilded mi. tre that was upon his .head, while with his left hand he held the golden Episcopal cro sier. The services in the prescribed forn of the Roman Catholic Church, were short, and, the words used inaudible, excepting to those: near the chancel. About one-third t.f the interior of the church, including, of co irse, the portion nearest the altar, was proteet.d by a raiing, and retained for the use (if the relatives and personal friends of the bride and groom. After the service, the Archbishop addressed a brief but earnest exhortation to the newly married couple. The bride then received the congratulations of her fi iends, and the quiet dignity with which she conducted her selt in this trying duty excited much corn '---~AintlV after this, the brida Tjne urmeu... .. Bartlett, Miss Mary Stark, Miss N. L. Par ker, Miss Mannela Yzquerdo, Miss Drusia West, Miss Howland; and the gentlemen officiating as groomsmen were: Senor R. Herques, Count Miranda, Don Juan Etenza, Senor R. Sovine, Senor S. Del Pvzo, Mr. Carson. The bridesmaids wore dresses of white tar letan, with double skirts, trimmed with three or four rows of puffing on the upper and lower jupe. Two of the bridesmaids bad their dresses trimmed with blue and two with red. Their heads were wreathed with red, white and blue flowers. The groomnsnn weie dressed in the conventional black broad cloth with white waistcoats. The bride, the great centre of attraction, was superbly at tired in a magnificent dress of white silk draped with flounces of Brussels lace. A veil of Brussels lace also fell in graceful folds from her head, which was wreathed with orange flowers, and swept down to the ground. A rich necklace, consisting of four rows of large pearls, encircled her neck and was fas tened in front with a diamond clasp. The earrings consisted each of a heavy single pearshaped pearl. A brooch of jewels, to which was pendant the celebrated briolle diamnond, considered by the jewellers, Tiflimiy & Co., as the most brilliant and valuable dia mond in America for its size and price, com pleted the gorgeous and tasteful costume. Mrs. Bartlett, the mother of the bride, was dressed in white silk, and wore a head-dress of flowers and jewels. The reception at the house was very bril liant. Fourteenth street swarmed with car riages going to and frotm the bride's residence, No. 30. The bride and groom received the company standing between the front windows, with the long train of bridesmasids and groom~men either side. Mrs. Bartlett, the mother of the bride, faced the entrance dloor and did the ho:ors. The rooms were profiirely ornamient ed with flowers cn liniuquet, or wreathed about the chandeilers and picture frames.. The wedding presents exposed for the ad miration of the wedding guests were guarded by two policemen in citizens dress. The bri dal parure, composed of pearls and diatnonds in blazing profusion, attracted great attention. The other wedding g~ifts fromi per.-onl~ friends consisted of a large variety of gold and .silver trinkets, spoons, egg cups, breatz pius, diamond studs, bronzes, stat uette., cameos, diainond and emerald rings, watches, earrings, &c., q.ite sufficient in number and value to set up a well stocked jewelry establishment. After the reception, the bride and groom left by the afternoon boat for Ikuton, to) comn mence a bridal tour through the lUoited States. They will then proceed to their homne in Ctuba. A Newv t.se for Hoop Skirts. The following good thing is from a Meim phis paper-.we forget which one, or we should give the richly deserved credit: Miss Judy ('Mulligan, aged thirty-eight an elegant creature, excep t that her pIate is as red as the bows on '-er bonnet-her little pug nose uof a lager be r hue-hler eyes of a color 'twixt yellow and blue, and her imotth plenty large for her words to come through without any extra strain on it-.Miss Judy O'M., then, if rumor be true, has given us food for a sonnet. Imagine this maiden in toggery fine-in laces and fixings' of every d!e.ign--ml a six foot dia'neter crinoline-as sheo gracefully sweeps down the street. Trhe~re's a pride in her step as she mins o'er the pave, and a race ini her hand asm she gives it a wave to am sily old " bach" whlo wouIld fain h.e her slave. and prostrate himself at her feet. Asu she floated down lb)auphini with airs of a queen~f, andu pa-sedl by the "Square" in its frlbage of greenl, "t! what a lovely ca tue !" with rupture exclaimed each one of the thronig whien chanced at that hour to be passd along-" What loveliness ini enth fea turk!" But the proud Miss O'Mulligan heeded them not, and kept on in her course 'twixt a walk and a trot ; for their fawning expres sions she cared not a jot ; (and we think her --n..inft proner. For who with a maiden would ever wed, that allowI ed such trash to turn her heaOl?) T.heir flattery did not stop her. . She kept on her way--is we stated before -till her goal was reached, a grocery store. which is numbered (large figures) "504," where she always " done her tradin'." Into this she turned, with a smile on her face, and bowed to the clerks with a killing Er ice; and each one of them would have lost his place, ere lie slighted the lovely maiden. - The gentle Miss Judy, whilst looking around, and asking if this thing and that thing was sound, and pricing lard, sugar, and bacon, per pound, to know just how iuch she'd be taking-the obliging clerk turned a moment his head to hear what another clerk had just said, when quickly the maiden with topknot of red, 'neath the folds of her crino line dext'rou-ly sped an entire middling of bacon! (Ah ! Judy O'Mulligan, little you thought when paying the clerk for the things you had bought, that the clever obliging young fellow had caught you in the act of stealing bacon. But, rather ashamed to ac cuse you of thieving, he waited to notice 'your movement when leaving, to see how your load could be taken.) And telling the clerk where her goods should be sent, she smiled a good evening, and homeward she went-not dreaming the clerk followed after. But the gentle Miss [Judy had lost'grace, for the weight (if the bacon impeded her pace, and the young man behind her grew red in the face, suppressing ,his inward laughter. * There is an old adage of " murder will out," without our assistance to bring it about ; and the say ing holds good against ste:ling. For, often, the care which is used to conceal the commission of crimes which you would not reveal, is the cause itself or revealing. Thus it was with Miss Judy, who crosaing a street raised tI e front of her dress to exhibit her ieet-a fashion not yet quite forgotton-when i mischievous newsboy the bacon espied, drop Iped his armful of pIpers-40 criecky !" he cried, " boys, 'ere's a new way to hang bacon." The guilty O'Mulligai uttered a shriek; the pallor of fear blanched her rosy cheek, adshe faiinted o'er anid i,'er. But the clever Joung c.erk, wlo had seen her fall, sent a , oy round a c.,rner a cal to call, into wbich she was lifted bacon and all, anid the cabman ,d:ove back to the store. There's but little left of the story to tell on reaching the s.ore the fair imiilen was well, and the thef.t was fully c.,nflssed. Stic .p.i.l for the bacon and vowed I nie'er more Would sbe carry ilf u i. r- -Ili a .-rocery store.

T.:e telegraph brings .he sad intelligence of the death of Hon. .1. Y. Mason, the Aneri can Minister to the Government of France. This event took place at Paris on the 3d of October, and was caused by an attack of apoplexy. 'I he Charleston Courier of Oct. 17th has the following in reference to Mr. Ma'on : The Hon. John Y. Mason, late Minister at the Court of St. Cloud, whose decease is an nounced by telegraph, was a native of Vir ginia, a grandson, we believe, of George Mason and a cousin of Senator James M. Mason. He was graduated fron; the University of North Carolina in 18M6, and after some prat. tice at the Bar received a Judicial appoint maent, which he resigned to accept a seat in Congress as representative. In this post le filled three termas, 1831-37. Under the ad. ministration of John Tyler, acting President, he was fur some time Secretary of the Navy, succeeding Thomas W. Gilmer, who was killed in the memorable disaster on the Princeton. Resigning at the close of Mr. Tyler's tern, lie was re-balled to that post -y President Folk in 184t, being then Attorney General by Presidenit Polk's appointment. In 1853, he was appoiated by President Pierce, Minister Plenipotentiary to France, and has since continued in that office. .-4 The California Duel. Below we furnish our readers with some of particulars of the diUel in California on the 13th Sept., between Senator D. C. BaoDEaCK and Judge D. S. Tnni-, wLich resulted in the death of forner. The lifficulty originated from insulting language used by Senator Baonraaci in relation to Judge TEaR. The San Francisco Times of the 14th gives the full acconntats of the duel between Messrs. Broderick aniu Terry. At 6.15 both parties arrived on the ground, attended by their seconds and physicans. 1.3n. .1. C. McKibben and Mr. Coulter acted for B:"deriek, and Cal. houn Benbam and Thos. Hays for Terry. Half an hour was occupied in nakincy the ar rangements. Ten paces were marl-ed off, and the principals took their position. The seconds d.vested them of all articles presen. t:ng prominent targets. Terry stood with his head thrown slightly back, looking towards his antagonist. Eatch held his pistol in hi.. hand and pointed to the ground, and both were dressed in black clothes. Broderick stood erect, but his head rather down. Terry mnin'ained the position of a practised duellat, presenting only the edge of lis person, and keepiig his left arm and shonl.!er well behind. lBroderick, thougha at first as.amoning a positio' somewhat similar, seemed to prefer a careless and less constrained one, and gradually pre sented muore of his botly to the fire of his an tagonist. He held his pistol rather awk wurdly. The bearing of Terry, thongh he assumed a more practised and motionless attitude, it was not one jot more that of an iron-nerved man than was that of Jlroderiek. aim. There was a perceptible inLt ... tween the two reports. Broderiek was observed to clap his left hand t , his right breast, and reeled .lowly to the teft ; and, before the seemds could reach hinib te fll to the ground'l. Terry folded his arms, but did not move. Broderick's seconds ran to his aidi, and Dr. Lochr connenced to staunch the wound. le was soon afrer borne into town in his carriage. Previously Terry and his friends left the field, driving rapidly into town, and hastened to Secraiento. Senator B3roderick was, et the time of his death, between 40 and 41 years of age. He was born in Washington, where hzs father an Irishnman was a well-to-do contractor, who furnished .stone for the pillars of the chamber ina which his son sat as Senator. David's family removed to New York when he was live or six years old, and he was put to his father's trade. Judge Terry w as quite early in public life. A native of South Carolina, and left an orphan at an early age lhe went to Texas and took part in the struggle for Texas independence. Aier his return- lhe devoted himself to the studly of law, was admitted to) the bar, where he achieved a waide repntation; went to Cali l'ornia with the earliest emigration there, and was elected Justice of the Supreme Cotrt when lie was but thirty-three years of age. Like liroderick, lhe was a man of great reso luteness and determuination. While he was in the hands of the Vigilance Committee, and while his life was in 0immninent danger, he was olrered a discharge if he wouald consent to resign his position. Ihis wife urged himt to dho so, buit lie refused, and issued an address to the people of the State, in which he ex pressed his determinationa that he would nt heave the prison alive in at'y other position than as Judge of the Supreme Court. He wvas reputed t', be a dead shot, and there was so~ame surprise felt on the receipt of the lirst news of the duel, representing him as having been wounided by Broderick. Though, as this duel piroves, ready to fight in vindication of his honor when he believed it assailed, he was as noted for the scrupulous care with which he refrc.inmed from getting into brawls as for the firmness of his character. This is the second Congressman fromt Cali fornia that has haid his ter:n cut short by diuelling. Trhe other was the lion. Edward Gilbert, who was one of the first two memberst elected from that St-ste. Some of the S.ui Franciscc papers evince a dispositiona to make it appear thbat .\r. lirod erick was the victim of a conaspiracy, but the nmost proamainent oneo asserts that the dnal was conducted in strict accordance witha the codea.

The remainms were ibllowed ton the grave by about 3,000 pe'rsons on foot, formainig, wit~h the long line of carriages, the~ largest anid most5 imipressive' processiona erer witnessed in Sani Franicisco.

Chesnut. EDGEFELD, Sept. 25, 1859. GENTEMN :-It would give ne pleasure to join you in doing honor to our fellow citizen, the Hon. James Chesnut, Jr., wl.o well deserves the compliment you are about to pay hin; and, I regret that my engage ments place it entirely out of my power to be present with you. The Presidential election, in its results, exercises much influence over the legislation of the cnemtry. The principles of the candi dates, as u.sually indicated by the party pat forms, or by the party.press, or by the cmidi dates themselves, are those supported by the successful Barty for the succeeding four years. Hence, it is of consequence to determine wisely the principles and candidate to be supported by the South in the approaching election. The question whether she shou!d consent to supI.ort a candidate who is not avowedly opposed to the doctrine of q:iattei sovereignty in the Territories, is one of seri ous import, and I am gratified to beieve thit. the weight of your demonstration w.l be aa n,t supporti ng any advocate of that here y a> dangerous to Southern Lights. The Kansas Bill of '58, commonly knows. as the English Bill, having been acquiesced in generally by the South, and desiring, as I did from the beginning, that there ahuuld be no division in the South on that question, I should probably never again have adverted to my vote ggainst it, but for the extraordinary course which Senator Toonibs has recently thought proper to pursue in reference to that measure and the votes of Gen. Quitman and mysell. He deems it necessary, it seems, to defend his vote in favor of the Bill before the people of Georgia, and in doing so, at Lex ington, on the 26th August, used the follow ing language, as reported by. the Augubta Dispakeh of the 30th August, which lapguage. up to this date, is uncontradicted, so far as I am informed, viz: "lHe reviewed tho Lecompton constitution-al. luded to the rotts of Quitman and Bonham, who hail voted again.t it. He would a soon draw two namee from the Giand Jury btx in Ogiethorpe causty. f.,r politica.l leader4 as to iselect theon. lie knew of no two men living with lesa qualifica. tinn to instruct the people. He defended Douglas, and said he would vote for him sooner tAnn for ey nmn of the Oppoition Xorth or Surth !" Of course the English Bill is meant, as Gen. Quitman and mysef both voted for the Senate Bill. It is difficult to discern the object of this ing. If Le meant tocontrast himself with Gen Quitman and nyself as political letdersand istructors of the people, with the viexv to impre.ns on the minds of his hearers a proper eitimuate of the value of the English bill, it was, to say the least, a mode of argument tOwards a cotemporary of more than ques tionable delicacy. Towards the dead, it will .trike all right-minded persons as most indel ue. undignified, and unbecoming his 1 igh confidence and respect or nos m.. party, but tleo of his enemies. Can as muc'i b.: said of tie Georgia Senator, even as to his own party ? Quitiun was the consist' nt and 'cho.,en leader of the Southern Rig.t arty. Does that. party ever take counsel of Mr. Tuomht ? Of what party is he the hon red leader, that he should dikparage the memory of as true a patriot, as l.onest, con est, consistent and fearless leader as the South has ever had? The Senator was a member f the House in '50, and opposed the admis sion of California. Her constitution, irregu. larly and without precedent, had been gotten up and brought before Congress under milita ry dictationi, and her hurried and irregular dmission subsequently "imprtdvalidity to the unauthorized action of a portion of the inhabitants of California, by which an invidious discrimination is tmade against the property of the fifteen slave-holding States.' Speaking in the debate of the rights of the South to an equal participation in all the Territories, the Senator said: " Deprive us of this right, and appropriate this commion pro perty to yourselns; it is then youtr govern ment, not mine. Then I amt its enenmy, and [ will then, if I can, bring my children and my constituents to, the altar of liberty, and, like Hlanmmilcar, I would swear them to eter tal hostility to yoiur foul domination." And yet, after the consummation of this great wrong to the South, unlike the Carthagenian, the Senator reversed took - to swearing by the compromise mea.-ures of '50' of which the California swindle was not the least objectionable, and, consistent at least in this, is at it still. And, now too, ho is fast becoming the advocate of Senator Douglas for the Presidency, who will accept the nomni ntion of the Democratic party on the squat tr sovereignty plat form, or not at all. The Senator's moral and mental structure does n ,t enable hinm to appreciate the lofty patri otismn, the unswerving political integrity, the stern adherence to principle which character zed John Anthony Qiitman-a leader ---" that wasn, to this, Htyperlon to a satyr." I shall not imitate the Senator, in vindica ting my vote against the English Bliil, on the grouitd that the Senator does not command my respect as a leader. But. I will here as sure him that, his estimate of myself is not higher thtan mine of him. The Grand Jurors of O,:etho'rpe, I doubt not, possess the aver ae initellig -nc of 'their class elsewhere in ami- country, though the Georgia Senator must larie it quite louws for political leader alhip fromt hi< u.,intg it as a disparaging stand ad ot the.fitncss of Gen. Quitman and my . If for that distinction. Some of them I supose, would represent the country with credit, and would be no ignoble leaders and instruc~ra of the people. They would, per haps, be none the worse that they have not been so long itn Waishinigtont as himself. Now, the Senattor offers the chances of drawing, fr our c unter-paits, the best nmen in the box, with the hotard of' drawvitig thte most indifferent. I will be moare liberal to him; he may take the box andl pick out, if he can, the naite of onte nmre unt'ofe and less fitted than himself to advise the South in her pres ent need. I anm, Gentlemen.
