Judge of the Suprenie Court fell on the first fire, pierced through the lungs.. Helingered till half past nine o'clock in &e morning, when he died.— The community was profoundly agitated at the melancholy event. Judge Terry was unhurt. Some of the San Francisco papers, it is telegraphed, evince adisposi tionto make iteppearthat Broderickwas of a; wnsphncy, hut ihe most prominent ones..assert that the .duel was conduotedin .-strict accordance with the code duello. Broderick's pistol wentaff before he raised it ona dine with his'an tagonist. Terry’s shot took effect two inches from tfie N right nipple, carrying away part of the breast bone. Broderick suffered intense agony from the time he was shot'nntilhe died. When the mail left, two hours after his death was an nounced the flags of s the city . were at half mast, and emblems of mourning were begin n ing to appear in all parts of the city. „ The following, which is the supposed cause of the-bloody duel, weelip from the Pittsburgh Evening Chronicle ; Boren explanation of the rancorous and vin dictive footings existing among the prominent California poUticiaoB, we will have to refer book to the late campaign, which has stirred up so much excitement and bad blood among all clas- of the community in that State- Between tho Ist of July and the 7th of September, the political canvass was accompanied by the bit terest personalities. Senators Broderick and G Winn both took the stump, and indulged in such disgraceful abuso and vulgar vituperation of each other as has never been paralleled in the annals of political wrangling, prolific as they are known to be in every variety of scan dal, dirtiness and malignity. Broderick, as is well known, whs a prominent anti-Lecompton ite, and in his speeches was very severe on Ter ry, cx-Chicf Justice of California, and a warm Administration man, but ultra-Southern in pol itics as well aain morals. They hod for a long time been the bitterest political enemies. Judge Terry is a Texan lawyer, about forty years of age. The only public position he ever held in California was Chief Justice for the Su preme Court, a position for which he was not considered* fit 1° either learning, talent, or mor al character. He was on the beach during the Vigilance Committee time, and ho was fora long time held a prisoner by that body for bar ing stabbed a member of the committee. Be is very brave, but coarse, and bis general reputa tion is that of an honest man, who, while on the bench, could not be approached by offers of bribery. So long ago as lost June, Broderick, while at the table of the International Hotel, said that Terry-was a corrupt Judge. A .friend of the latter, a Mr. Perley, requested Broderick not to speak in that .style at a public table; Broderick repeated the language. For this, Perley challenged him ; bat Broderick refused to fight, Arst; because Mr; Perley was a British subject, hot an American; secondly, because Mr* Perley was not his equal in political posi tion; and, thirdly, because the interest of his party demanded that he should not fight until after the election ; but intimating that, after the election, he would accept a challenge from Terry himself. Bat the Judge would accept no terms of set tlement pther thanan unconditional withdrawal of the offensive remarks made by Mr. Broderick, and an apo|ogy therefor. It is well known that the Judge somo time since detcrmined\o pursue this matter, to tjhe bitter end, soon as the time arrived to which Mr. Broderick had postponed the adjustment of these matters; when, there fore, the result of the election was ascertained, Terry, who is known ns a man of great nerve and coolness, sent a polite note to Broderick through C. Benham, his second, inviting him to a hostile meeting. Broderick has thereputa tion of being a man-of physical courage; and bis,defeat in the campaign just closed, had con verted his general condition of misanthropy to that of desperation and- recklessness of life.— Be, therefore, through the Hon. Joe. MoKibbin, formerly of this city, prdmptljjresponded. . All efforts made by the seconds, and friends of both parties proved vain, and the fatal result of this political fracas .we now know. One party has been cruelly murdered, and the survivor, if he have any heart, or sensibility at all, will pass the remaining portion of bis life an unhappy byself-reproach and the mem ory ofthe ruin his blind rage and rashness have aecompli&hed.

A Cold Winter Predicted. —About ten days ago a tremendous drove of gray squirrels, num bering hundreds of thousands, suddenly made their,appearance on the Merimac, covering the trees and waters like a pall. Thousands of them, were afterwards found dead in the river and ion the ground. They crossed the Missis sippi' at that point, and worked their way down the river, until on Wednesday they reached Capo. Girardeau, crossing the river at that point in countleks myriads. The citizens turned out en matte dud killed them by hundreds. Every tree and bush in that vicinity swarmed with them until night, when they all disappeared, and, .have not been heard of since. Their route was .marked as by a devastating storm. Trees were girdled and fields destroyed. Old French settlers predict a very severe winter,, as it was noticed in 1834 and 1862 that immense droves of squiraels suddenly made their appearance, followed by. intensely severe weather.— St. Louis Express. , A Ccutotrs Speculation. —What a noisy crea ture would a man be were his voice, in propor tion; to bis weight, as loud as that of a locust!

For nil civilized nations have had their sympathies excited in behalf of Franklin and his lost navigators, and there will bo a sad satisfac- ] ■lion -in knowing what they suffered and how they perished. ‘ j Sir John Franklin, whose name will forever be remembered by reason of his unhappy fate, was born at Spilsby, Lincolnshire, April, 16th, 1786, being the youngest son 6f a respe'clable yeoman. He was put to school at Sti Ives, and afterwards at Louth. Ho had an early longing for the sea, and entered as a midshipman on the ! | Polyphemus in 1800, being at the battle of Co- I penbngcu, April 2d, 1801. He saw much and j varied service, and was signal midship'iuan m; j board the Bellerophon at Trafalgar. He com- ; I mnnded the bouts of the Bedford in the fight with American gun boats at'New Orleans, cap turing one of the boats, and.receiving a wound - in the action. In 1818 he was appointed to the j 1 command of the Trent, in the expedition order ! ed to attempt the passage to-India by the polar . sea, North of Spitzbcrgen, The expedition, turned out unfortunately, but Franklin gained much reputation. In 1819, he was sent in com mand of an expedition to explore the coast of Afnerica, feast of the Coppermine River.' Tho result of this was a great addition to our knowl edge of Arctic geography. -Franklin returned to England in 1822. In 1825 he was ordered on another overland expedition to the Arctic sea; and he had to leave 'the sick bed of bis young wife, who died the day after he went to sea. He returned by way of New York, and landed in Liverpool, September 24th, 1827. On the Bth of March, 1827, he was married to - Jane Griffin, the! present respected Lady Frank -1 lin. In the following year be was knighted.— In 1830. he was sent to the Mediterranean, ren dering good service to the-Greek cause. In 1836, he was made Governor of Tasmania, or Van Dieman’s Land, which office he administer ed ably till 1843, when be returned to England. In 1845,- he was appointed to command a new , expedition to search for the NhrthwpEt Passage, and he sailed with the Erebus audrlVrror on the 26th of May, 1845. ‘The record ends with his death on tiro 11th of Juqqi 1847, at the age 1 of sixty-one years and nearly’three months, j Of the two wivesi'of Franklin, the first Eleau i or Ann Porden, was a indy pf unusual accom | pHshiuenta. and scholarship, yyho taught herself i Greek and Latlu when elpyop pr twelve years j old, and became a proficient 5h other languages, besides studying various branches of natural science.
