Extraordinary Entrance Into a Council Chamber of a Very Remarkable Man His Queer Reception and its Result A Dead Shot. M om the Neow York Sun. AusTIN, Texas, February 12.-Of all the famous duels recalled by tho Sun, perhaps' none was more remarkable than that fought near this city by Deaf Smith and Colonel Morton. About two years after the Texas revolution, a difficulty occurred be tween the new government and a portion of the people, which threatened serious consequences. Briefly, the constitution made Austin the permanent capital, but empowered f.mo President' to order the temporary removal of the archives in case of dainger from a foreign enemy or sudden insurroc tion. Thinking that the exception. al emergency had arrived, as the Comanches wore committing ravages within sight of the capital, Presi dent Houston, who then resided at Washington, on the Brazos, dis, patched an order commanding his subordinates to send the Stato records to that town. It is imipossible to describe the excitement which the promulga tion of this order raised in Austin. The keepers of hotels, boarding houses, groceries and faro banks were aghast. The measure would be a death-blow to their business. A mass-meeting was. called, and the farmers of the surrounding country, who were all more or lees interested in the question, came in. After many fiery speeches, it was unanimously resolved to prevent the removal of the archives. Four hundred armed men volunteered to guard the State House. The coin mander of this force was Colonel Morton, who had distinguished himself in the war for independ ence, and more recently in two desporate duels, in both of which he had cut his antagonists nearly to pieces with the bowie-knife. In, deed, from his reputation for vin dictiveless ais well as courage, it was thought that President Hous ton would renounce his purpose as soon as he should leirn who was the loader of the opposition. Morton swore that if tue President suc ceeded in removing the records, he would himself hunt him down like a wolf. lie even wrote the hero of San Jacinto to that eTect. The latter replied in a note of laconic brevity: "If the people of Austin do not send the archives, I shall certainly come and take them; and if Colonel Morton can kill me he is welcome to my ear-cap." On the reception of this answer the guard was doubled around the State House, chosen sentinels were stationed along the road leading to the capital, armed men patrolled the streets, and a select committee went into permanent session in the city hall. One day this committee were sur, prised by the sudden appearance of a stranger, whose mode of entering the room was as extraordinary as [-is looks and dress. He did not ki.ook at the closed door, but climb ing a small bushy-topped live oak, which grew beside the wall, he leaped through a lofty window. He was clothed in buck-.kin, carried a long and heavy rifle in his hand, wore at the bottom of his loft suspender a large bowie-knife, and had in his leathern belt a couple of* pistols haif the length of his gun.1 Hie was tall, straight as an arrow, active as a panther in his mnotions. lHe had a dark complexion, luxuri ant, jetty hair, and piercing black eyes. "Who are you wvho thus presumeo to intrude among gentlemen wih out invitation 7" demanded odlonel M~orton, in his most ferocious man ner. 'The stranger retgrned his stare with compound interest, and laid bis long, bon~y finger on his lip. "Who are you? speak 1. or I'll cut Mn aniswer out of your heart V" 1o1d ii finfrobh Is lip, iad you not see that he is crazy?" At this moment Judge Webb, a man of shrewd and courteous man ners, stepped forward and address ed the intruder courteously: "My good friend, I presume you have made a mistake in the house. This is a private meeting where none but members are admitted." The stranger did not appear to comprehend the words, but lie' did the courtesy. Waltzing to a table in the centre of the hall he seized a pen and traced one line, "I am deaf." Judge Webb took the paper and wrote a question: "Dear sir :--Will you be so obliging as to inform is" what is your business with this meeting? ' The stranger at once handed him a letter, inscribed "To the Citizens of Austin." He broke the seal and read it aloud. It was from Hous ton: "FE,LOW CITIZENs :-Though in error, and deceived by the arts of traitors, I will give you three days more to decide whether you will surrender the public archives. At the end of that time you will please let me know your decision. "SAM HousToN." After the reading the deaf man waited for a few seconds, as if for a reply, and then turned and was, about to leave the hall when Col. Morton sternly beckoned him back to the table. The stranger obeyed, and Morton wrote: "You were brave enough to insult me by your threatening looks ten minutes ago ; are you brave enough now to give me satisfaction ?" The stranger penned his reply "I am at your service 1" Morton wrote again : "Who will be your second ?" The stranger rejoined : "I am too generous to seek.an advantage, and too brave to fear any on the part of others; therefore I never need the aid of a second." Morton wrote : "Name your terms." The stranger wrote without a moment's hesitation : "Time, sub set this evening ; place, the lef - bank of the Colorado, opposite Aus tin ; weapons, rifles, and distane 100 yards. Do not fail to be in time." He then walked across the floor and disappeared through the win dow as suddenly as he had entered "What," exclaimed Judge Webb, "is it possible you' intend to fight that man, Colonel ? He is a mute, if not a maniac. Such a meeting, I fear, will sadly tarnish your laurels." "You are mistaken," said Morton, with a smile ; "that mute is a hero who stands in the records of a dozen battles, and at least half as many bloody duels. Besides, he is a favorite emissary and bosom friend of Houston. If I have the. good fortune to kill him, I think it will tempt the President to retract his vow aginat venturing any more upon the field of honor." "You know the man then? Who is lie ?" asked twenty voices together. "Deaf Smith." "No, that cannot be. Deaf Snmith was killed at San Jacinto," said Judge Webb. "There, again, your Honor is misa' taken," said Morton. "The story of Smith's death was a mere fiction, gotten up by Houston to save the life of his favorite from the sworn vengeance of certain Tetans, on. whose conduct he had acted' as a spy. I found that out twelve months ago." "Then, you are a madman yours. self 1" exclaimed Webb. "Deaf Smith was never known to miss his mark." "The thing is settled," aid~ Mdor ton ; "I have agr'eed to meet hht ~ There can be no disgrace in falling before such a shot, and if I kill him it will be the greatest feat of my life." Toward evening a vast cro,w da sembled to witness the meeting, an' so great was the popular reekiess - ness as to affairs of' this sort tliat , 1. bets were offered and taken. on eol ' Bides upon the result.
