ARCHIBALD YELL, OF ARKANSAS. The first case on docket was called, and the plaintiff stood ready. It was an old case that had been in litigation for five years. Gen. Snioot arose for the delendant, and remarked in an overbearing tone: "Our witnesses are absent, and 4l C T -1 * uiciciuiv x uemana mat mo ease be continued until the next term, in course." "Let the affidavit be filed, lor not till then can 1 entertain a motion for a continuance," was the mild reply of the Judge. "Do you doubt my word as lo the facts?" Gen. Smoot exclaimed sharply, and involuntarily raised his sword cane. "Not at all," replied the Judge, with his blandest smile; "but the law requires that the facts justifying a continuance must appear on record, I and the court has no power to annul the law, nor any will to see it annulled." | The Judge's calm and business like tone and manner only served to irritate the bully, and he retorted, shaking his sword cane in the direction of the bench?"Whatever may be the law, J, for one, will not learn it from the lina of an unsinrt ilnmn gogue and coward 1" Judge Yell's blue eyes shot lightning; nut he only turned lo the clerk and said quietly?"Clerk: you will enter a Hue of fifty dollars against Gen Smoot, as I see him named on my docket, for gross contempt of Court; and be sure you issue an immediate Execution." ' He had hardly communicated the order, when Gen. Smoot was seen l it jhin# towards him brandishing his sword cane, all his features writhing with murderous Wrath, and pallid as a corpse. Every glance was fixed on the -1* * ^uuiuuimiice oi inc jucige, tor all wished to know how ho would brook Ihe coming shock of the duelist's fierce assault. Hut none, however, could detect the slightest change in his appearance. His check grew neither red nor white, nor a nerve seemed to tremble; his calm eye surveyed the advancing foe, with as lit(tfiffh r?f " -1 -1 ?'? (ID tl I IH'IIIISI might show scrutinizing the eflervescncc of some novel mixture. Ho sat perfectly still, with a little staff of painted iron in his right hand. Smoot ascended the platform (tnd immediately aimed a tremenddus blow with his enormous sword cane, full at the head of his foe. At that blow five hundred hearts shuddered, nnd more than a dozen voices shrieked, for all expected to see the victim'^ sknll shivered into atoms. The gen- i eral astonishment then may be con cieven, wnen tncy heheld the little i iron sUff describe a quick curve, as i the great sword cane flew from Smooths fingers and fell with a loud . clatter at the distance of twenty feet i in the hall I The baffled bully utter-^ ' cd a cry of wrath, wild as that of i some wounded beast of prey, and . snatched his bowie knife from his t sheath, but ere it was poised for the i deByqrqtfa, plunge, th? little staff cut < tiiuniuil iiiiu iue Djg Himc loj- \ loafed' the cane. He then hastily y drew a revolving pistol, but before he J: had time to touch the trigger, his arm was stricken powerless by his side. And then for the first time did Judge Yell beiray perceptible emotion. lie stamped bis foot till the platform shook beneath shouted in trumpet tones?"Mr. Clerk you will blot this ruffian's name as a foul disffrnrp. from llin . nil n( nltnriiovii Ttr.. I _ .. w." ...v, . V?.? v. 1?VJ 0? JLV JL I Sheriff, take the criminal to jail." The latter officer sprang to obey the mandate and immediately a scene of confusion ensned that no pen could describe. The bravoes and mvrmidon friends of Gen. Srnoot, gathered round to obstruct the sheriff, while many of the citizens lent their aid to sustain the authority of the court.? Mcnaces, screams and horrid curses, the ring of impinging and crossing steel, alternate cries ol rage and pain, all commingled with the awful explosion of firearms, blended together a vivid idea ol Pandemonium. But throughout all the tempestuous strife, two individuals might be observed as leaders in the whirlwind and riders of the storm. The new Judge used his little iron cane with terrible efficiency, crippliner limbs vet snariiifr life. Bill Buffum, imitating the clemency of his honorable friends disdaining the employment of either knife or pistol, actually trampled and crushed down all opposition, roaring at ever}' furious blow?"this is the way to preserve order in court,"?a sentiment which he accompanied with wild peals of laughter. In less than two minutes the party of the Judge triumphed, the clique of Gen. Smoot suffered disastrous defeat, and the bully himself was borne away to ine prison. Such was the debut of Archibald Yell in Arkansas; and from that day his popularity as a man, as a judge, as a hero, and as a politician, went on rapidly and brilliantly increasing, till it eclipsed all the oldest and most powerful names. Within the first year of his emigration, he became a candidate for the Governor's chair, and notwithstanding the bitterest opposition, lie was elected by ninetenths of the number of votes polled. At the end of his term, he canvassed for Congress, and again swept the State like a hurricane. lie continued to serve with success in the supreme councils of the nation until the period of the war with Mexico. He then resigned, hurried home to Arkansas, and raised a regiment ol voimuecr cavairy, with winch lie made all possible dispatch to the scene of action. The writer of the present sketch saw him on his line of march to coalesce with the i rand army of oc cupation, and never will he forget the evening passed by the light of his hospitable camp fire, on lied River, witliin the limits of 7exas. The prophecy of his farewell words rings still on my ears with mournful distinctness. "I go," said lie, with a look of fire, 4 4K--.ni? > ... (iiiu in iuin:s ui uirnillltf CllipililSIS) "tO make fame that shall be co-extensive with the length and breadth of the Union, or to extinguish life itself in a blaze of glory." lie kept his word?he did both. He arrived on the gory arena in time to witness the magnificent storm of Buena Vista; and where is the true | child of American birth that cannot name the three transcendent stars of chivalry, who fell ciuenched in blood that day ? Aye, who fell, but as thev fell such a parting sun-burst of ever- ' lasting sunlight over the field ol glory 1 and ol graves? Hardin! Clay! Yell! ' Extraordinary Fertility.? Wheat.?Bishop Holliday, residing in Utah Territory, on South Contonwood Creek, about ten miles south , of the Great Salt Lake City, raised , from one bushel sowing, one hun- , dred and eighty bnshels of the choi- | cest and cleanest wliact, measured ( up, and it weighed plump sixty 1 pounds to the bushel. This bushel 1 was sowed in drills upon three or lour acres ol ground, and seasonably t irrigated. Tlio same gentleman in- < formed us that bis wheat was better 1 this last season than it was the year f previous, and felt confident that a portion of his last crop would pro- r duce two hundred bushel's from one fl bushel's sowing, though not then (1 threshed out. JTh t is truiy a great r country for wheat, but requires much j !nIu\i' mi/1 1? ???..? Iiiimiuuiiuui lll^ I IIU KCil.SOIl r of irrigation ; and connected with j this operation there are many Jittlo c things to be observed, or you will ruin your crop. Every new settler n can learn them all from the experi- d enceof those who were ihere before >' him. No counti^ that we ever saw ^ can excel it for vines and vegetables (i of all kinds. Farmers beffin to ?nw In 1 August, ami continue to sow every month, and perhaps every week, ^ when frost does not prevent, until the r< loxt June; und about the 20th of Fune thoy begin to harvest, and con- w inue harvesting their wheat until the b, 'ollowing November. We left there >r? tho 1st dav of October, and ihe 'ines were all as green as summer, tnd many pieces of wheat were not jgirvestcd, but were just turning while; and we said, surely, this is the country where "the plowmen overtake the reapers." In this country, when wheat is r?|>o it has to be harvested or the crop is lost. Not so there. It may stand in the field a month after it is ripe, and take no harm. It is a different sort of wheat from ours. When early wheat is harvested in ihnt rnnnlrv. by irrigating the stubbie ground, a second growth springs out from the roots of the stubble and not from the seed, and "often ciomes to maturity the same year. This is usually the case with oats. [Frontier Guardian. / a i-?? JL I yju* Mfiuij JLtUUMOgW.'?inner from South Morida speaks of a late interview betwren Capt. Casey, the U. S. Indian agent, ana Mr. *\Vilum Bolags,' as he signs himself. Capt. Casey set forth to Bowlegs the recent action of the Florida legislature for the removal of the Indians, and told him that now was his last chance for a peaceable anangement. That the U. S. authorities were his friends, and would not only see him comfortably removed and provided foi afterwards, but would pay him well for going. But if he delayed, the Gover nor of Florida and his riflemen and long knives would be down upon him and drive 'he whole tribe into the ocean. Upon this, Billy scratched his head and thoughtfully inquired if the United States jvernment was really his friend and wished him well. Gapt. Casey replied that there could he no manner of doubt about it. Well, then, says Billy, if you are my friends, just you stand still, and "me whip the Governor of Florida and his long knices d?11 quick,'' and in short, gave Casey to understand that lie did not value the sovereignty of Florida so much as 'the shaking of a squirrel's tail.' This is truly mortifying. Billy evidently had not read the report of the majority committee 1 ? 1 uii rcu.'lill lCiailOllS. Tallahassee Sentinel. In no class shall we find a greater exuberance of fancy or more exaggerated ideas in regard (o wealth and luxury than in the thorough-bred loafer. A few duys ago a couple of individuals of thn genus being seated in a nook, near a wharf, at which a California bound vessel was lying, their conversation naturally ran upon gold?as neither of the twain was the possessor ol a single red cent?and thev amused themselvos by wishing for the precious metal. 'Bill,' said one to the other, 'I'll tell ycr jest how much gold 1 wish I had, and I'd be satisfied.' 'Well,' said the individual appealed to, 'go ahead?I'll see ef you've got the liberal idees of a gentilman.' 'Well, Bill, 1 wish I lmd so much gold, that'twould take a 74 gun ship, loaded dowu with needles so deep thnt ef you put in another needle she'd sink?and all these needles to be wore out making bags to hold my pile.' Hill threw his crownless hat upon the pavement with indignation, and exclaimed, 'Darn it, why don't you wish lor some thing when you undertake it!
