TLe trial by combat was an institution of the
uut ages," when war was the v normal con
daa, to a greate xtent, of the human race ;
when tbe profession of arms was the chief
, employment of a large proportion of the popn-
. latton; when trials of strength and skill in sin
gle combat were sought by ambitions knighto-
- errant, and formed a principal source of amuse
ment with the populace. In those primitive
times, learned jurists had not yet devised those
" admirable rules for weigfcinjr evidence which
are now in use ; books of precedents were on
" , known ; and juries were not even dreamed of.
' In the .'superstitions spirit of the age, the Ji
- rect interference of an overruling JPmviJenee
was invoked in all the concerns of life. Triv
' ial disputes between individuals were deter-
- mined by lot ; graver quarrels were settled only
by an appeal to arms, the disputants appear-
" . fay apon die field either in person, or, if from
. any cause incapacitated from bearing arms, by
champion. Before proceeding to the conflict
. each party appealed to Heaven to favor and
; protect the right j and the result was supposed
to be in aecordaace with the divine judgment
Persons accused of crime had right to de
mand the trial by combat,' and to meet their
accusers lace to face and hand to hand, the re
. tk stermining tbe guilt or innocence of the
i accused, and also the truthfulness or falseness of
Us accuser." These combats received the sane
' lion of both civil and ecclesiastical law; they were
conducted in the presence of the authorities.
spiritual and temporal ; and it is probable that
in very many instances the rightjre vailed over
stieugth and skill in arms, paralyzed by a con
Bciousness of gnik and wrong. It is not strange
that this should have been regarded as the fairest
mode of determining disputed questions, when the
church had her champions, who maintained the
' tenets of her faith at the point of the lance and
the sword.' But in the advancing light of civ
ilization and intelligence, these combats came
c to be regarded as cruel, barbarous and nnjust
strength and skill, though joined with injus
1 tice, seemingly finding more favor in the eyes
of Providence than weakness and right. They
fell into disfavor, and were put under the ban
of authority.
But although in modern times the duel has
been forbidden by both ecclesiastical and civil
laws, it still wrvive throughout the civilized
world a lingering relic of barbarism, fanned
and kept afiYe by certain peculiar ideas of hon
or, begotten of military ' institutions. The
prevalence of the duelling spirit depends very
- much upon local public sentiment, in some
- parts of Ireland, at one period, the mania fur
duelling amounted almost to an epidemic. - X
young man was considered a worthy member
of society, or could hope to arrive at distinction
in any civil profession, who had not met his
- adrersarv is the field, to shoot and to be shot
' a! 1 while tbe older and more experienced th
leaden of society and of the professions, could
boast of having killed their one, two, three or
' more men apiece. In such a state of society,
- an infinitely greater degree of courage was re
quired to refrain from fighting, than to light
' In England aud Scotland, at the same period
. duelling was confined almost entirely to the
military.
r In most States of the Union, the laws against
duelling are verr severe, and the man who
,, kills another in a duel is regarded and punished
- as a murderer." Indeed, in some of the Stales,
including our own, the duellist who kills his an
tagonist is placed under Constitutional dixabili
ties from which the common murderer is ex
empt. ' And it is right that the duellist shonld
be severely dealt with. He proceeds to the
crime with all the coolness and deliberation
whioh characterize a cold. blooded, premedlta
ted murder, ?.nd often upon a mere appearance
2 or shadow of provocation. In the ease at
, present under consideration, the alleged provo-
cation was, that " Mr. Broderick had aspersed
Mr. Terry at a public table," had said that
. " when the Vigilance Committee were perse
cuting Judge Terry he (Broderick) paid $200
' a week to support a paper in San Francisco to
. defend him ; aad that he then regarded him as
" the only honest man upon the supreme bench,
but that he took it all back now." Mr. Terry
Considered that a sufficient ground for seeking
. the life of his asperser. As a judge of the Su-
preme Court of the State, he was sworn to
maintain and to administer impartially its laws,
among which was one a very severe one
against duelling, which he was now determined
to violate. The slight obstacle of Lis official
oath is got rid of by resigning his office. He
then demands of Mr. Broderick " the satisfac
tion due to a gentleman" in other words, to
give him an opportunity of killing him, in such
a manner that a depraved public opinion might
sanction the-crime, aud a corrupt and ineffi
cient adnunistration of the laws allow the crim-
jmdtogo-npnaisjMd. Under tbe pressure of

while his brother's blood calls fro.a the ground
for venjeance upon him, then the successful
duellist has great reason to be satisfied. The
alleged provocation to the bloody deed remains.
It was not washed away by the blood of the
slain. - The torsions attributed to Mr. Brod
erick were not retracted, and uow cannot be.
lie shed his blood in defense of the words he
had uttered, and died a martyr to their truth
be they true or f-le. Is that a satisfaction to
the challenger ?
. Similar to the above, in its general features.
is the historr of everv duel of recent occurrence,
which has resulted seriously or fatally. When
: i , .1 i : : i r. -V 1..
a uuei tanoi irrnnij cnuuiiiu, n is uui buh uic-
ly ridiculous. Many modem duels are of this
latter sort ; and, if they answer no other good
purpose; will at least serve to bring the system
into universal ridicule and contempt a cou
summation dcvoutlv to bo wished. . v e can
conceive of no spectacle more lamentably lu
dicrous, than a pair of chivalrous young sprigs,
with blanching cheeks, blenching eyes and
trembling limbs, popping harmless bullets at
each ot.er- from a very safe distance, in obe
dience to the requirements of " the code," and
in the; vain eSbrt to prove themselves the pos
sessors of some degree of honor and courage,
Tt;se bloodless duels nre become quite fashion
able with n certain class of would-be chivalry;
nnd as they are generally understood to be
harmless afnurs, they are sometimes tolerated
for the amusement they alford. As accidents
are liable to occur, however, from the explosion
of " villainouste"tpetre," the seconds have
sometimes taken the precaution to load the
pistols with paper wads, instead of bullets, for
the greater safety of the spectators.
Circumstances may occur, in which a man
would be justifiable in offering .or accepting a
challenge to fight a duel ; but these are very
rare. X t ouc out of a hundred of th duels
that are fought can be justified by any rule of
morality or ienson; and while we admire the spir
it which prompts a brave man to resent, in n
proper manner, an insult or an ajrgrvcsion, we
deplore the sentiment which would find vent
for the ebullition of a momentary anger tlirnnyli
the medium of the murderous duello. That
provocation which will not justify the shooting
down of the aggressor in warm blood, upon
sight, will much less justify slnotiiig him in
cold blood, and with the premeditation and de
liberate preparation of the duel.
Recapture of Friit and
Mills. On
Tuesday last Mr. A. J. Babb, of Lane County,
passed through this place on his way to Port
land, having in custody Enoch Fruit nnd J. J.
Mills, the convicts whose escape from the Pen
itentiary, we chronicled three weeks ago. It
seems that on Friday night, the 30th ult., the
two fugitives applied at the house of Mr. Babb,
who resides on the Siusclaw, some fifteen miles
above Engene City, for lodging. He knew
them, but took them in, and gave them a bed.
As soon as all was quiet, he went out softly,
locking the doors behind him, and procured the
assistance of a neighbor, a Mr. Davis, aud re
turning, arrested, and secured the convicts. Af
ter they had tied them, a quarrel arow between
Babb and Davis, as to which was entitled to
the reward. Davis claiming it because-he had
tied the prisoners, and Babb lx-eause he had
discovered them, and becanse they were taken
in his house. In the course of the "argument,"
as we are informed, Davis broke a revolver
over Babb's head, and scratched bis face se
verely; nevertheless Babb got the best of the
controversy, and also of a lawsuit about it be
fore a justice of the peace, the following day,
in Eugene City. Fruit and Mills were highly
interested spectators of the fight, and tbe former
showed to which tide his sympathies inclined,
by occasionally shouting " Hooray for Babb!"
Fruit, in conversation 'with various persons
after his arrest, said that it was impossible for
him jto get away he was too w ell known.
They had traveled along the coast range moun
tains until nearly at Eugene City, but every
time they came out in the valley they met some
one who knew Fruit. He also said that several
persons had given him money to assist him in
escaping, and that many told him they were
glad he had got out, and hoped he would not
be retaken. They stole a number of hordes
during the time they were out. They are
doubtless by this time in safe keeping, from
whence they will find it difficult to escape
again.
A Sad Accident. On Sunday evening of
last week. Miss Ellen Umphlct, a young lady,
daughter of Mr. Stanley Umphlct, of Yamhill
county, being on a visit to some relations resi
ding near Parish's Gap, ia this county, was
riding on horseback, for pleasure, in company
with another young lady. They used men's
saddles, of the ordinary California style ; and
while riding along. Miss Uniphlet lost her bal
ance and fell backwards, her hoops catching
upon the horn of the saddle.'. The horse be
came frightened, and ran with her along a
fence for several hundred yards, when the point
of a rail caught in her mouth, tearing the w hole
side of her face out, and .breaking her jaw in
two places the concussion stripping the clothes
entirely from her, and thus freeing her from the
horse. Belief was brought to her as soon as
possible, and the wound was dressed by Dr.
Roe, of Santiara city. . The wound is a fright
ful one and the girl is lying in a critical situation.
Dr. Shaw, from whom we learn the above facts;
was afterwards called in for consultation. "
Painfcx AccrDEXT. On Monday last,' as
Mr. A. B. ShoemakeK of the wagon depart
ment of Messrs. Fcrguson,.yre Sc Reed's fac
tory on Boon's Island, was engaged in boring
some pieces of timber, a large two-inch auger,
Crook's patent, turned up, aud struck him in

wound is a severe one, but not dangerous.
Taxes. Polk county levies an eight mills
tax this year several mills higher than usual,
owing to the construction of a court-house.
Marion levies seven mills two mills jail tax.
The county has just completed a jail which
was provided for in the levies of 1858 and JS59.
These levies are for county, State and school
purposes.
( VALl'ATtOt.
The property valuation of such counties as
have thus far made return, for this yenr, is ns
follows. We compare the valuation w ith thnt
. of the two previous years :
1859. 1858. 1837.
Marion, $2.:W2,139 $2,300,000 $2.2!fJ.?09

Yamhill, i,971,3D6 1,483,235 lri06,880
A fair valuation of the property In Marion
county would return not one mill less than four
millions of dollars. And at the very least that
amount ought to bo returned. It w ill bu readi
ly believed that there is full twice the taxable
property in Marion county that there is in Polk;
yet Marion returns but a trifle more than Polk.
The consequence is that the property holder in
' Polk county pays a hundred per cent, higher
tax to support a State government than the prop
crty-owner In Marion. And from comparison
of the valuations in , the two counties, w c are
convinced that much of the property in Marion
is valued upon the assessor's return one hun
dred aud two hundred per cent, less thau the
same class of property is valued in Polk, just
across the river. And that in Polk is not too
high ; Marion's is too low. There are doubtless
instances in which it is high enough ; we know
of some such. But we speak of it as a w hole.
And we take Polk and Marion comities as an
illustration ; there may be others in the State,
for might we know, which present as marked n
contrast. ,
Every county nnd everj property-ovvuer
ought to contribute in the samo ratio to the sup-

The Statesman is mistaken about the matter.
Gen. Houston is himself an Administration man,
nnd claims to be, and probably is, a better dem-
ocrat than the reenlar nominee ot the party
who chose to assume alwnrdly radical ground
on the question (in uivor) ot re-opening the AI
riean slave-trade. Portland 7imes.
The Statesman is not mistaken about tht
.matter. The 27me is niistakeu. Ho-istoais
an interesting " administration man." Dunn
the recent canvass in Texas, the chief staple
of his speeches, after opposition to the re-open
ing of the slave-trade, was general denuncia
tion of the administration of -lfr. Ba-'ianan.
In one of them ha is reported to have s:iid tH.'t
Mr. Buchauau was elected iw a LTuin-pre

weaken the bonds of Union, than all the Presi-"

the election of Fremont would have resulted in.
(Houston supported Fillmore nt that election.)
That his (Buchanan's) policy had rent uj twain
the democratic party, and piled hih the fl-ihie
of sectional feeling, confusion nnd discord.
Ever since. 1334, Houston has been nu uniform
opponent of the democracy, and of the admin
istration of Pierce and Buchanan. He voted
against the Nebroeka-Kausus bill, and against
the admission of Kansas with the Lecompton
constitution. The man elected to Congress
on the Houston ticket, is said to bo like Hous
ton, but there may be a mistake concerning
him. Respecting Houston there is no mistake.
The Charleston (S. C.) Courier, from w hich
we copied last week, seems to have a differenl
(and truer) estimate of Houston's politics that

The "regular nominee of the pnrty." Gov.

understand to be as good a democrat as any

a difference of opinion upon that question af

California State Fair. The California

implements, productions, &c, was particularly
fine. The voluuteer military organizations of

and added much to the beauty and interest of
the scene.

wns not snrnriwd nt it. Before I.ietit. Col.

from "old siinirc Ilotl'umn," of Jaekson comity.
to net ns his proxy, and how he was going to

when I saw him mount his gnllant bay, and
ride oil" in company w ith ' old Bill," 1 knew
that tho pair were determined to do something
or other w hat, 1 didn't oxactlr know. After
they were gone, I stepped over to the land of
fice, being naturally curious to know how thoso
two otliee holders managed to perform their
oiliciul duties, nnd nt the same time devote so
much time to the servieo of Joseph. I found
there n very gentlemanly young fellow, who
seemed to be employed in the capacity' of clerk.
In conversation with linn, I learned mat tlie
mission to Ettjroin was but the beginning of the
travels and travails of Messrs. tho Register
nnd Receiver on behalf of their master, l.ient.
Col. Martin is immediately to make a pilgrim
iifre to Jackson nnd Josephine counties; re
turning thence, to Yamhill nnd other counties
of the" Willamette ; while Lieut. Moshcr is to
take charsu of Douglas ami the coast counties.

In conversing with nianv intelligent demo

in the interest of the land ollice, well nnd good
we will nil vote for him. But wc will not vote
for nnv democratic c :u lidate" of the tiazley
stripe. That is a pill wo cannot swallow.
Some of the prominent members of the
" Society for the Promotion of Joseph " boast
occasionally of their success in humbugging
ex-Senator 'Smith. Smith is not a favorite in
these southern counties and his connection
with I.ane is not calcul ited to strengthen the

CoitKEt'TLY Stated. An old democrat of
Linn county nu old stand-by one who has
been more than once in the legislature from that
county, and who has occupied other places of
public trust nml confidence, says the question
in Oregon now stands thus: "Gen. Lane against
the Democratic party." And Lane is throw ing
iuto the contest against the democratic party the
pow er nnd patronage which the office givcu him,
not by the Lane society, but by the Democracy
of Oregon, enables hhu to control. Public of
ficers uro in the field, straining every nerve, ex
pending every dollar of government money, to
the one end of sustaining Gen. Laue. The du
ties r their ollices are neglected, aud every oth
er consideration sacrificed, to the end of uphold
ing the power that upholds thein. And, it is
undeniable that this clement of strength and
corruption, extending from the Columbia river
to the California line from the Pacific ocean to
the Rocky Mount lins scattered nil over Ore
gon, is a powerful instrument iu the hands of
one man, arrayed against the democratic masses,
w ho have no otiices nnd no patronage. If the

Besides apples, pears, peaches, quiuces, plums,
&C, of fiue.vnrieties aud largo dimensions, we
observed a squash, raised by Mr. Win. Cox, of

to remove the Indians, and consequently the

nuti Lane) may not be benefited by the patron
age of the agency and the post. Is noi that
an act worthy of a U. S. Senator and a candi

ed bv the familv and retainers of flcn. Lane
does not receive the approbation of the democ
racy of this city nnd county, although some of
the old opposition, who have become mighty
good democrats within a marvellously short
space of time, declare themselves well satisfied
w ith it. Lane is not gaining ground very fast
in this locality; and, iiotwitlu-tundiii? the confi
dent assurances of the Times, based npon al
most two months' acquaintance with Oregou pol
itics and politicians, the democratic voters
the men who an? not of!ice-scekers,'" will not
submit nny longer to the impositions and outra
ges of the" Lane society. The Orcguuiaus are
not altogether fools. Thev know what is right

The cteainer Brother Jonathan arrived yes
terday evening, from Sail Fram-isco. Among
her passensrers I observed mv old friend Tom-
Ill V Drvcr, who has been down to San Fnmcisco
assisting in the construction (on paper) of the
Pacific I'ailroad. From the report of the affair
nublishcd in lmA!tu California, I should judsre
that Mr. Dryer aud Bro. Pearno had let off ex
tra gas enough, at the Convention, to drive at
least one train of cars over the road. I see that
the former gentleman (all editors nre gentlemen,
by courtesy) figures in the report of tho Con
vention as " Col. Dryer, from Oregon. " Good
ness gracious, Thomas, where did you get that
handle T The next thing w e know. Dryer's best
personal and political friend will be announced
in the Sun Francisco papers as " Col. Francis,
of Portland."
Th:s subject of the Pacific Railroad is a most
egregions humbug, and nothing else, conven

ing. Theoretically, it's all very line : but prac

Yankee enterprise at present, and for the next
tw enty years, at leat. 1 1 serves very well, how-1
ever, lor electioneering clap-trap.
Ajain we hear rumors of Indian wars east of

The iuecriur of the Lane Central Committee
at our enmity jat last Saturday brought to
mind one of the ne instrunients'of the"ljane
society, nnd I caiunt hety giving his history.
is a conceited old maid of the mate gen
der, w ith a skull as thick as a sugar-kettle, and
a mind as dull as a butcher's block. Or perhaps
lien O.'s nppellatioii better describes his head
' hominy block " Up to the hour of the re
ceipt or the news of Pierce's election he was a
rampant nltolitionist school-master, nml nstd to
fawn nronnd Gov. Gaines, to the infinite an
noyance nnd disgust of that gentleman, who
was awfully bored bv his sycophancy. Failing
as a pedagogue, and both too proud and lazy
to work, he set up as a latcyfr, with about ns
much qualification as he had for preaching.
He starved along at that, chnngiug locality oc
casionally, aud returning tothe business of keep
ing nil infant school by turns until Geo. Drew
enabled him to "draw rations" and handle
quarters of beef, boxes of candles, soap, sacks
of floor, coffee, sug-r, &c. If Drew expected
imittfujfii ! tvi tu imifli mi-.tMiieil :is fTll-
cle Jim " was when he thonght he w;;s entitled
to it. A great friend of G rover's, and for a
reason, for 'G rover had always befriended him,
he sold him out for his present distinguished
place in the Lane society, nnd the promise of
Governor! to which he has bad aspirations
even since Whiteuker was nominated at
w hich time ho understands he would have had
that honor conferred upon hint if yon had not
opposed him, nnd suggested Whitenker.
We have n good deal of 'quiet fun over the
-''hominy block's " democracy, and particularly
over the pro-sUtrery part of it. 1 helped to
make a pro-slavery man of hrni, and helped to
make a "judge " (aud hard making it was.) of
him, but that he was to be set up as a figure
head, was more than any of us contracted for.
Perhaps it is not w orth while to otl'cnd him, for
as soon as Lane breaks down, is sure to
be howling against him. However, this county
will soon bo black republican, I am afraid, and
if it is .will surely go over to them, and
they'll have tho load.
Delazon used to tell ai: amusing story of
swinging a solitary hat at the reception
of the news of Pierce's election to the equal
surprise of his abolition friends and democratic
opponents, of his (Delazon's) remark of sur
prise at seeing hhu rejoice over a democratic
victory, ns he had been' for Scott up to that mo
ment, of saying to him "hush," and
beckoning him (Delazon) out one side, and tell
iug him ho ' had been a whig but he was go
ing to be n democrat now, and wanted Delazon
to tell him what ho must do to be one." Smith's
