•After recapitulating the facta and incidents o!
li private andpublio life, and tracing
bis history down to the end of last Congress, the
orator proceeded:
At the clone of tbo last session of Congress Mr
Broderick was urged by many of hb friends to em
ploy tho rocess in a visit to Europe. Ruth a diver
sion would have been very grateful to him/ While
a boy he had proposed suoh a lour as one of the
possible, but scarcely hopod-for achievements of bis
life; but now, as a man, as a politician, and as a
growing atatosman, qualified by exienrivo reading,
«nd by a careful study of history, such a visit
would bo interesting in observation, fruitful in
suggestion, and valuable in result. Seonre for tbs
next four years In hi* Senatorial position, and
wearied with tho toils of an unsuccessful oontest, a
loss brave or a loss conscientious politician would
have evaded tho struggle of the ccming election in
California, in which he could have hardly hoped tp
succeed. Not so with Broderick. He not only re
nounced tho cherished pleasure of hU lifo, but ac*
copied the alternative, although ho clearly saw
defeat In the issue, and death In tbo vanishing
Pplnt of the vista. Ho had already not only set
tled. in his own mind where bis duty lay, but bad,
wisely or unwisely, determined the nature of the
contest; It was to be one thickly studded with per
sonal issues, and In those issues he saw abun
dantly sown the seeds of death. Against all the
weapons which would surely seek his life he could
not even hope to stand; U was even almost 11 hop
ing against hope ” tooxpeot that be could defer the
nominal sacrifice until after tho political coulee!
had been terminated. And so, when Broderick
riowlv passed oul of the Senato chamber, which he
folt that ho was never to enter again: so. when Ihe
golden cross of Trinity reflected to him for tbr
last tiuio tho gloaui of tho sotting sun, as city, and
island, and coast, sank down in tho deepening
twilight into tho obscurity of ocean, oml be de
parted for the last lime to bis loved Paclfio Stato,
to onter upon bis last contest, feeling that the
blaok messenger of Death fluttered over him with
his inevitable nicss&go, I cannot conceive, or draw
from history or fable, it spectacle moro mournful
or sublime. For this consciousness of tho coming
oatastropbo wa9notamore superstitious presenti
ment, tho nightmare of shattered nervee, of a dis
ordered or of a weak intellect, but the
conclusion of a wound judgment Acting clearly and
deliberately, and as certainly as upon the ordinary
businoMot life, “foreseeing tho end from the be
ginning.’’ To-what, then, shall wo liken his great
procession to tho firm) zacritW t Not. rertoirly. to
the impulse which hurled Cui uus into tho gulph
which opened to swallow up tho destinies of Rome;
not to (ho decorate valor of Lrounins, which
hoped for von<rp(iuco rathorthan for success; but
riilher to tho •'uir-immolution ofeomo greater hero,
who binds the sacrificial wreath upon his own
brow, and extends himself ns a victim upon the
altar; ruther to some Prometheus, even more sub
lime than tho conception of the pool, chainingbim
sclf to the cold and wditary summit of Caucasus,
and oflorlug his own brc&tt to tho eternal vulture.
•‘ You will sco me no more,’’ was his mournful pre
diction to a friend who grasped his hand, for the
last Umo, upon tho departing steamer. Alas, how
his heart was wrung to utter those words of hope
less farowol!! So when the death-bolt bad reached
him, and his mournful presentiment wa3 fulfilled,
how noble was the feeling which prompted him to
suppress all personal resentment, and to express
only tbq regret (hat tho leadership of his party
vra* struck down with him. *• Let my friends take
courage by my example, and if need be, dio like
mo. Lot It not bo buliei ed that my death resulted
from a few Idlo words, or from anything but ray
political position.” Such woro his dying words
—finch, most undoubtedly, his dying convictions;
and if these indicate tbo lofry purpose with
which ho accepted the call to the deadly fiold,
I do not !>e« low he could have avoidod that
i*suo. As n Christian man, with a horror of mur
der that I cannot expnws, and with a clear percop
(ton of the oiruumstauecs, X still cannot eeo how
Broderick could have rotainod his leadership and
hftvo declined the fight. Doubtless bis purposes
and his mental eonfliot aro well embodied in tho
language of the great German, *• Hero I stand—l
cannot do otherwise; God help mo!” And ns to
that leadership, thus borno to tho ground in the
fall of Broderick—of htm who ulwAys took courage,
evon from defeat, and, like hla kindred Tit Ans,
borrowed renewed strength from contact with his
mother earth, even though hurled to her bosom—
of that leadership it needs no political sympathy,
hut only admiration of personal courage and chi
valrous gallantry, for us to speak in fitting terms.

wonder that tho people of tho pre-hlstoric ages de
ified many of those great men who wero cut off In
the primo of their honors. If we road the obscure
Jessonfl of history aright, I do not doubt that tho
demi-gods of antiquity wore but the historic me

that Mr. Vandyke, the Ifnit*3 States District At

Among the list of esses that are arranged for

tion of the city while in tbo act of passing and at

Oyer asd Tbrjoser.-—Judges Thompson
and Ludlow.—Yesterday was fixed for the com
mencement of the trial of homicide cases. Attcp
o’clock the dock was entirely filled with person?,
all of wLora staqd charged with the commission of
the highest crime known to the law. Tho oldest
of the prisoners was John Hall, a colored man. who
is indicted for the murder of a woman in Bedford
rireet, and the youngest was John Sweeney, the
trial of whose Cause consumed the entire day.
The first case called was that in which James
Gecgan, Daniel Price, 'William Hats, and George
Alexander, are for the murder of John
Eicble. The defendants’ ct>anMessrs. Leonard
K. Fletcher and John Goforth, suggested to the
court, that as a writ of habeas corpus, asking for
Iho discharge of the prisoner* under the two-term
rule, had been argued before Judge Strong of the
Supreme Court, ard that as the matter was held
under advisemeut Is that tribunal, it was not pro
per to go on with’he trial until a decision should
he obtained. AfU r considerable discussion, a mo-
Hod to that effect was made and granted. The
witnesses f* the case were then discharged until
further n/ tics.
The case of John Sweeney was tbo next on the
list for trial, and District Attorney Mans stated
that he was rpady to proceed with it at once. Dan
iel Dougherty apwared for the defence, assisted by
Mr. Albert IV Mnrkor as junior counsel. The
best part of the morning was oonsumed in empa
nelling a jury. Finally, one waa obtained, as fol
lows: Caspar Guyer, John F. Keen, Thomas H.
Flood, Frederick lie<s, Moses Bowman. Edwin
Kirkpatrick. Henry J. Preston, Isaac Bedford,
James McGill. James 8. Pierson, Cbas. D. Reid,
and Richard MorrelL
ITie bill of Indictment was read in the usual dig
nified stylo, by Mr. Poronrd Sbarkoy, the effioient
court clerk, after wh’ch Mr. Mann opened the case
to the jury. He speke of tho enormity and the
grades of the crime o£ murder, and then proceeded
to narrate the facts as he thought they would be
developed by the testimony.
Johrjb’weeuey was charged with murder in kilt
ing John Parks, by rotting him with a knife on the
left side of tho abdomen, oetwoen the tenth and
eleventh ribs, on the 19th day of February last.
The deceased lived until the 2lst of February. The
killing took place at or near the houso of the de
fendant. It appears from the depositions taken by
Alderman Cloud, when dyiug/that both the dece
dent and tho defendant live at or near Miseteenth
and Cumberland streets; that the defendant came
to Parks’ house on Friday night, the 18th of Feb
ruary, 1839, aftor ID o'clock, and shortly after
ward* was followed by twn others, whom Parks did
not know; that Swecuey called Parks out to the
door, and him if ho could tell where be
eould get any liquor to drink; that tho three men
wen* away, but Sweeney rotumed in a few minutes
md asked Parks to go out and got adrink ; that
Parks told Sweeney ho did not wish to drink any
thing; that Sweeney theu said to him, “Come out
here, there ia a machinist who wishes to see you
th&t Parks then went out, and was stabbed three
times liv the defondant.

Episcopal Hospital, testified as to tho nature of the
wounds which had caused death.

MorSTAis City. K. T., Oct. 13, l&Sff.
Von ask me to give yoa’seme details, of a relia
ble nature, in relation to the country, and I will
do so, far as lam acquainted with the facte:
Until about the first of August the whole mining
Harriet wad included in'an Area of about thirty
five railed, commencing at Bonlder diggings on the
earth, and extending to the Gregory claim on the
*->uth, with Jefferson and Trvsdvocd between, and
he Spanish and Jackson diggings to the west of
Gregory.
In July the population of the mining district*
was computed at about 40,000, but Urge number*
returned to the State! or west on to California,
disgusted with the country, either because they
did not know where to find tho gold (the character
of the region being eo entirely different from Cali
fornia and other gold countries) or hecaoas they
were unwilling to suffer the privations and endure
the toils of gold-hnnting.
But where men were witling to work, and had
some capital to start them with proper tools, the
search was nearly always remunerative, arid in
some cases lucrative beyond all precedent. I
| have known as high as a thousand doUan to have
been taken from a single Jl lead claim” in one
day. I know of “ gulch’' claims that have yielded
fifty thousand dollars already this season, clear of
all expens##.
About the Ist of August rich discoveries were
made in the South Park, on the South Platte, Blue
river, head water of the Colorado and other itreaau,
and a great stampede was made for the park. X
am tnfonded that the diggings on the north branch
ot tho Platte, called "Tanyall diggings,” average
a yield of a pound of gold a day ycr «uw, but
the weather is too cold for mining operations in
that region new. Ri*h discoveries were aleo made
near tho i-'nowy Range and west of them, bat mi
ning operation# w*tc prevented by the Utah In
dians and Mormons, a great many miners being
killed. If Uovernmest should fend a protecting
company this winter, there will be rich disco
veries made beyond the Snowy Range the coming
«u.iomer.
There are from ten thousand to twelve thousand
men still in the region, but numbers are taring
daily, some returning to the States, and some going
down to th« valleys fur winter quarter*. The mi
ning will ho all suspended in a few week*. Snow
fell on September TJ to the depth of six Inches, hut
the Lot gun of the middle of the day is causing U
to disappear rapidly: and while the days are wans
enough to work, the snow-water ii very valuable la
the diggings/?
The health 1* usually good, but we dread the
effeot><>r cold, bleak nights, and the hot can. Fe
vers and ague are beginning to appear, bet the
tnen are very temperate; some of them axe old
gold-bunters, and learned wisdom by their expert
cave in California.
Flour is worth SIS to |2Q per cwt., though la
Denver (forty miles off) it can be had for $l3 to
SN. Bacon is 35 cents per pound. Sugar MctaU.
Coffee 35 cents per pound. Provisions are consi
derably below the«e figures in the valley, but It is
a rough road up, and dealers charge a good J>nee
for transporting and the storekeepers a good per
centage for selling them. _ ~
