IHE DUEL.—Me were informed bv our
telegraphic despatch from New Orleans, that
Hon. Edward Gilbert, late Member of Con
gress, from California, and senior editor of
the Aha California, bad been killed in a
duel. The particulars are thus stated in the
Sacramenta Union :
This morning a hostile meeting took place
at Oak Grove, between Hon. Edward Gilbert,
senior editor of the Aha California, and
<.-! n. J. M . Denver, State Senator from Trin
ity county. The immediate cause of this la
mentable affair was a card published by Gen.
Denver, reflecting upon the personal charac
ter of Mr. Gilbert. Of the merits of tiie
controversy, this is not the time nor place tu
-peak. Mr. Gilbert challenged the adverse
party. The weapons selected were Wesson's
rifles, and distance fortv paces.
Alter the lirst interchange of shots, neither
.f which took effect, the weapons were re
leaded and the word given, when Mr. Gilbert
fell almost instantly, having received tlje shot
>t Gen. Denver in the left side, just above
the hip. The ball pierced the abdomen and
passed eutirely through bis bodv, coming out
<•11 the right side, almost directly opposite the
point where it entered. Mr. G. survived but
four or five minutes after the occurrence, and
without a word or scarcely a groan, his spirit
passed from earth. His body was immedi
ately conveyed to the Oak Grove-llouse,
where the sad duty of preparing it fur its
last resting place was performed.
Mr. Gilbert was formerly a resident of Al
bany, New-York, emigrated to this State in
18-IG, was a member of the Constitutional
Convention, and afterwards elected to the
lower house of Congress, lie has been for
the last four years the senior editor of the
Aba California, and was about 33 years of
age at the time of his decease.
A FATAL TRACE nr.—The Swedish bark
Barmieiito, with two hundred and forty pas
sengers from Panama for San Francisco, had
put into the .Sandwich Islands short of prc
\ isions. The Polynesian gives the following
account of somen! tin* incidents and sufferings
on the passage;
The passengers suffered the greatest hard
ships—were put on allowance of bread and
water five days from Tobago.
On the 2lst of May a most fearful tragedy
was enacted on board. A young man by the
name of \S oolfork, about 10 years of age,
from Kentucky, shot a German, named John
* .u, through the heart. The origin of this
bloody business was a dispute about a tin
cop, of which W oolfork hail two and the
German none, jn the hasty altercation the
handle was wrenched off, when \\ oolfork
drew his revolver and shot Johnson dead.
A scene of the greatest excitement ensued.
The murderer was seized—ll4 voted that he
should be lumg, 33 against it, and the re
mainder neutral. A judge was appointed :
■t jury of twelve empannelled : the prisoner
lound guiltv of murder, and sentenced to be
hung within one hour.
During the interval between the sentence
and • xecution, the dead body of the murdered
Ccvman was brought on deck, the prepara
tion made, and after allowing the condemned
man n quarter ol* an hour over Lis time, lie
was rui up to the yard-arm, where life soon
became extinct. lie was then cut adrift, fell
upon his face into the sc-a. and continued to
float until left out of sight by the vessel.

in that harbor on Friday last. It measured
fifteen feet from the end of its tail to the tip
of the nose, and when opened it was found to
• ontain ten Ling crabs, a sea-gull, and a
man's boot, with any quantity of lames, re-
M rabling those of the human body. It took
M-ven men to haul and lash it to the gunnel
1 f the pilot-boat. The jaws contained three
rows 01 teeth. '
Another Calamity on the Hudsom
The New York papers contain accounts of
a frightful accident on the steamboat Rein
deer, on Saturday afternoon, by which al
ready twenty-eight lives have been lost, and
others will probably die of their injuries.
The Tribune describes the disaster as follows:
The Reindeer left this city on Saturday, at
8 o'clock in the morning, for Albany, finder
command of Capt. C. W. Farnham, having on
board a large number of passengers. Imme
diately after she left Bristol landing, one of
her pipes exploded, killing ten or twelve in
stantly ; others that were scalded badly have
since died. A large number of passengers
are scalded, and some of them will probably
die of their injuries.
The pipe which connects the flues, called
the connection of the return flues, burst.
The steam forced its way through a partition
between decks, and thence through a pantry
into the lower cabin, where a large number of
passengers were dining. It is said that nearly
every person in that cabin was killed or seri
ously injured. The force of the steam also
carried away the smoke pipe, which foil
across the hurricane deck, breaking it down.
Above the deck no one was injured except the
engineers and cooks. The explosion occurred
shortly alter 1 o'clock P. M. on Saturday.
Many of the passengers were dining in the
lower saloon when the catastrophe occurred.
The boilers being below dock, the loss of life
was most serious in that cabin. A majority
of the killed are believed to be waiters at the
table. The wounded were taken on shore
and every attention rendered them by the cit
izens. The number of passengers on board
is reported at 300. A number of them threw
themselves into the river.
The Reindeer was considered to be in an
excellent condition —this being the second
season that she has been on the line. The
eost of her was about SB 10,01 Kb She was
.122 feet long, 3-1 feet wide and 'J feet deep.
Her burden 850 tons. Mr. Thomas Collyer
built her for Captain Do (hoot. She was
launched March 2, 1850.

From the Baltimore American.
The ' Old Defender.' a spirited campaign
paper recently started ip this city, has the
following article in its last Saturday's issue:
Gen. Pierce's Gallantry.
Mr. EDITOR :—Having heard it reported in
Baltimore that a personal indignity of the
frossest character was inflicted upon Gen.
ranklin Pietce, over a ' game of cards,' in
the city of Mexico, after its capture by our
troops, which insult was never resented, I
write this to enquire whether you have any
information upon the subject, and if so, to
ask the favor of you to explain the nature of
the indignity, and the authority from which
the report has originated. J. R. B.
Baltimore, September 3d, 1852.
We have no hesitation in answering the
enquiry of our correspondent. For the last
two weeks, the report to which he alludes, has
been current in our city. We have taken
some pains to inform ourselves of its truth,
and have not the slightest doubt of the cor
rectness of the answer, which wo now give to
the above query:
Jgfcy- ' On the night before Gen. Piorce left
the city of Mexico, his face was slapped, by
a brother officer, at a game of cards, played
in a place of public resort —which insult was
not resented by him."
The authority for this statement, is a Cap
tain in the United States Army, of the high
est personal character, who served with dis
tinction in the battles near the city of Mexico—
who up to this time, has ever been a decided
democrat—and whose brother and father now
hold distinguished positions in the democrat
ic party.
The Captain alluded to, is a resident of
this city, but will not vote for Frankin Pierce.
If any Democratic Journal will deny the
truth of the abovo statement, proof can be
found to remove the doubts of the most in
credulous.
If any friend of Gen. Pierce thinks this
charge partakes of a personal nature, and is
tin refore not properly in the canvass, we will
ask hint which party commenced personal
ities in the campaign, by publishing anew a
garbled statement of the private quarrel be
tween Gens. Jackson and Scott?
AGILITY. —An astonishing feat was per
formed in Jersey City, on Friday, by a man
well known in New-York bv the congnomen
of Micky Free. He jumped two hundred
and .ten hurdles, which were three feet and
one inch high, in twentv-four and a-half
minutes. There were ten hurdles placed in
a circle of about one-ninth of a mile, and he
repeated the circuit, leaping the hurdles two
hundred and ton times in the space of time
above named. He had made tt wager to do
it in an hour. He is walking a match at
the Thatched Cottage, of one thousand half
miles in one thousand consecutive half hours.
f<>r a wager, it is said, of two thousand dol
lars.—Xeic-York Tribune.
MADAME SOXTAC. —This new Prima Donna,
who also bears the title of Countess Rossi, ai
rived at New York in the Arctic, on Sunday
night. She is accompanied by her husband
and suite, which is composed of Eckcrt, the
eomposer, Pozzolini, Heller, Palmer, &o.
The New Y'ork papers are in ecstaeies with
her already, and she is doubtless destined to
create a sensation equalled only by that of
the matchless Jenny Lind. Son tag comes to
America, however, with a very considerable
reputation. An English paper, referring to
her performances in private circles, savs of
her—" We have heard Schroder and Mali
bran, both grand and true in this composi
tion, but neither searched the depth of its
passionate tones, and with it the hearts of the
audience, so completely as the matchless Ma
dame Rossi."
The cholera has again broken out in Cham
borsburg. Last week there were thirteen
deaths from the disease, and on Monday three

total number of deaths in Buffalo by cholera,
during the month of August, was 38#—an
average of about eleven a day.

| Valuable Dwelling & Store Stand
j _ AT
Jb&vjL The subscriber offers JJWMCJL
for sale two lots of ground
liil'TOMsiluate on the corner of
4~Mn^^ l he Diamond, in Reeds
ville, Mifflin county, with
a Verge DWELLING and STORE STJIND,
Stabling for 8 horses, Kitchen, Wood House,
Smoke House, and other out buildings thereon
erected. There is also a well of water on the
premises, Apple, Peach and Plum Trees in full
bearing—in lact everything calculated to render
it a pleasant home.
The store stand is undoubtedly one of the
i best in the country, being situate on the great
j avenue (the Centre and Kishaeoquillas Turn
j pike,) on which hundreds of thousands of bush
: els of grain are annually taken to market; the
, new turnpike from Milheim, in Centre county,
intersects the Centre and Kishaeoquillas road
| between the store and tavern, and this, now
i nearly finished, will largely increase the busi
ness—so that few places offer more inducements
to an enterprising business man than this.
The location in other respects is highly favor
able—being six milts from Lewistown, but a
short distance from Brown's well known Mills,
convenient to Schouls and Churches, and an un
surpassed valley beyond, whose thrifty popula
tion daily pass the door. It was last occupied
by Win. J. Glass, deceased.

_l_ known and desirable business stand, situated
ion Valley street, Lewistown, known as the
j " LEWISTOWN POTTERY."
I The advantages this stand has in location, the.
! facilities it affords for a convenient and ready
i market for its i cares, together with its very ex-
I tensive patronage, renders it one of the most
I desirable in the country.
• The WARES manufactured at this establisb
| ment are far superior to any other in the six
! counties, and have a reputation that will everse
| cure the patronage <>f the public, from the fact
J of the material being inexhaustible, and con
| netted with the concern by a lease of a number
j of years.
| The business of Potting has been carried on
: successfully at this stand by myself and father
| for over 30 years, which is of itself sufficient ad
vertisement to prove its advantages as a busi
ness stand. The PERSONAL PROPERTY in
j connection with the concern, will also be sold,
! if purchasers desire it.
j For further information, apply to the under
i signed on the premises, or by mail to Lewistown
