At Gibraltar and Port Mahon there had been
several duela, and at the latter place they were
of such frequent occurrence, that it was uaual
to say on salutiag an acquaintance in the morn
ing, Well, who is the victim today waa the
Englishman killed, or did the Americsn take
the bullet!' 5
In the case now referred to, nig ot veven Eng
lish lieutenants had studied, for the woek that
my friend had been stopping in Gibrslter,' how
to get him into a quarrel.' They eettled nn the
plan at last, and lost no time in putting il Into
execution. .
Lieut. wat sitting in the public room of
the coffee houae, quietly drinking hie wine and
reading a newspaper. One of (he Engliah offi
cers, who waa reckoned an excellent ehot, com
menced walking up and down the room, passing
and repassing the American lieutenant, upon
whoi-e toes he at length trod. Lieut.
loci ked up, the Englishman bowed, and aaid 'Beg
yonr pardon, sir, an accident' Lieut bow
ed, and went on with his paper. The English
man again passed, again trod on the American's
toes, and again apologized: 'Beg your pardon,
sir, an accident.' Lieut bowed and resu
med his paper. The Englishman allowed five
minutes to pass, and then for the third time
committed the same offence, repeatiotr with
mocking smite the apologetic words, 'Beg your
pardon, air, aw accident
Lieut. calmly laid aside hi paper, arose.
and taking the Englishman by the ears, deli
berately discharged considerable quantity of
tobacco juice, with a respectable anted iid, toll
into his face, saying, with jeering laugh,
beg your pardon, sir, an mccident
Thia settled the business, or rather put it in
the train of settlement The Englishman chal
lenged the American on the spot; the latter
accepted, claiming all the right of the challen
ged parly choice of weapons, time and place,
Thia wis of course conceded, and Lieut.
named piftols aa the weapons, that room the
place, and the time the moment he could find a
countryman to act aa hia second. On his er
rsnd, he encountered me st the door, and retur
ned after an absence of exactly eeven wimrtee.
The Englishman had, however, become accuslo
med to Yankee punctuality in little mailers of
this kind, and expressed m corpriee at the sod
dennesa of hia re-a ppearance.
It waa arranged that the parties should ait at
opposite ends of a table about twenty feet long,

Col. trrenaoat'a Calebr. Rtita 1st Caltfer
Mia,
The National Intelligencer has the following
account of the ride of Col. Fremont, which has
been alluded to in the trial : ' ' '
It waa at daybreak on the 22d March, 1847,
that Lieut Cut. Fremont, his friend Don Jesus
(pronounced Haieoos) Pico, and his servant Ja
cob Dodeon, eat out from Ia Cuidad le los Age-
los(the city ef the Angela) in the southern
part of Upper California, to proceed in the short
est time to Monterey, otAhe Pacific ocean, dis
tant lull four hundred miles.' The n ay is over
a mountainous country, niuch of it uuinlmbitcd,
with no other road than a trace, and ninny de
files to pass, particularly the maritime defile of
El Rincon, or Punto Gtdo, fifteen miles in ex
tent, made by the jutting of a precipitous moon
tain into theses, and which can only be pas
sed when the tide ieout and the sea calm, and
even then in many places through the waves.
The towns of Rants Luis Ohiapn, and accsion
al raiichw, are the principal inhabited places u
the route. Each nt the party had three lioraes
nine in all, to take their turns under the ssddlp,
The six loose horses ran ahead, without bridln
or halter, and required some attention to keep
to the track. When wanted for a change, say
at distance of twenty miles, they were caught
by the lasso, thrown either by Don Jesus or the
servant Jacob. None of the horses were shod.
The usual gait wss a aweeping pal'op. The
firet dsy they ran one hundred and twenty-five
mile. The next day tbey made another one
hundred and twenty-five miles, passing the for
inidabte mountain of Santa Barbara, and count
ing tipnn it the skeletons of aome fifty horse,
part of near double that number which perished
to the crossing of that terrible mountain by the
California battalion on Chrislmss day, 1616, a
midst a raging tempest and a deluge of rain and
cold more killing than even the Sierra Nevada
the day of severest suffi rirg, say Fremont and
bis men, that they haaw
At sunset the party stopped to sup with the
friendly Capt Dana, and at nine at night, Sn
Luis Obispo wss reached, the home of Don' Je
sua, and where an affecting reception awaited
Lieut. Cot Freemont, in coneeoieneo of an in
cident which eecajrred there, that history will
one day record ; end he waa detained till 11
o'clock in t!e morning receiving the visi s ot
the inhabitants, (mothers and children included
takings break fast ofhonor'ssaj waiting fur a
relief of fneeh horses to be brought in from the
surrounding country. Here the nine horse
from Los Angeles were left, and eight others
taken in their place, and a Spanish boy added
to the party to assist in managing the loose hor
eea. Proceeding at tire usual gait till 8 at nitflit,
and hiving made some seventy miles, Don Je
rus, who had spent the night before with his
family and friends, and probably with but little
sleep, became fatigued, aod proposed a ha I', for
a few hours. It waa in the valley of the Salt
naa, (Suit River, called Butnm YeiUurm in the
old maps) and the hannt of marauding Indiana,
For aafety during their repose, the party turned
off the trace, issued through a eonaJa into
thick wood, and laid down, the horses being put
to grays at a short distance, with the Spanuli
boy ti tbe aaddle to watch. Sleep, when coin
me need, waa too sweet to be easily given up,
and it waa half way between midnight and day
when the sleeper were aroused by an eetampe
do among the horses, and the calls of the boy.
Thecsua of the alarm waa anon found not
Indiana, but white bears this valley being
their great jetort, and the place where Col. F
and thirty five of liia men encountered some
hundred of them the summer before, killing
thirteen upon the ground. . The character of
these bear a ia well known, and the bravest hun
ters do not like to meet them without tlte ad
van'age of number. On discovering the enq
my, Col. F. felt for bia pistols, but Don Jesus
desired him to lie still, saving that 'people could
scare bears ;' and immediately hallooed at them
in Spanish, and they went off. Sleep went fT
also; and the recovery of the horses frightened
by the bears, building a roaring tire, miking a
breakfaet from the hospitable supplies of San
Line Obispo, occupied the party till daybreak ;
when the journey waa reeaiaiMtd. Eighty miles
and the aftcrriooH brought," the party to Monte
rey. The neat day, in the afternoon, 'be party
set nut on their return, and the two horse rode
by Col. F. from trt 'Iii Obirpo, bemg pre
sent to him from Don Jesus, ho (Don Jes) de
sired to make an experiment of'wttat one ot
them could" da." They were brothers, one a

color, (cinnamon.) and benct called el eunala

nd Don Jesnr insisted fiat cannlo could easily
do it, and so said the horte by his look and ac
tion. But Colonel F. would not put him to
the trill, and, shifting the saddle to the young
er brother, the elder was turned loose to run the
remaining thirty miles without a rider. He
did an, immediately taking the lead and keep
ing it all the way, and entering Sin Luis in a
sweeping gallop, nuetrila distended, snuffing the
air, and neighing with exultation at his return
to his native pastures, his younger brother all
the while running at the head of the horses un
der the saddle, bearing on his bit, and held in j
bv hia rider. '
The who'e eight horses made their one hun
dred and twenty miles each day, (after thirty
the evrning before) the older cinnamon making
nii.ety miles of his under the raddle, that diy.
besides thirty under the saddle the evening be
fore; nor was there the least doubt that he
would have done the whole distance in the same
time, if he had continued tinder the saddle. Af
ter a hospitable detention of another half day at
San Luis Obispo, the party set out for Los An
geti on the same nine horses which they had
rode from that place, and made the ride back in
about the same time they had made it tin;
namely at the rate of 125 miles s day. On this
ride the grass n the road was the food for the
horses. Al Monterey they hod barley: but
these horses, meaning thnae trained and domes
ticated, as thecanalos were, eat almost anything
in the way of vegetable food, or even drink, that
tlieir master uses, by whom they are petted and
caressed snd nrcly sold, flrend, fruits, sugar,
coffee, and even wine (like the Persian horse)
they take from the hand ol iheir master, and o
bey with like docility, hia slightest intimation
A tap of the whip on the saddle springs them
into action ; the check of a thread rein (on the
Spanish bit) would stop them nd slopped short
at speed, tl.ey do not jtile the rider or throw
him forward. They leap on any thing-man,
b' art, or weapon, on which iheir master directs
them. But this description, so far as conduct
and behavior are concerned, of course, only ap
plies to the-tra ned and domesticated horse.

A writer in the Billon Recorder, who has
lately travelled through Connecticut, thus de
scribee the way in which the people gain a live
lihnrd: fleginnmg in the noriti western part of the
State where, by the way, some of nature's
true noblemen dwell we find many furnaces
smelting down iron ore of the best quality, from
thfir own mines, making each from two to three
tons of pig iron per diem, and each consuming
at a single blast of eleven niontha a million bu
aheU of charcoal. Tliece is a shop manufactu
ring some of the most delicate and beat cutlery ;
and another making liue ai.cliori aod in ca
bles for our navy, from iron wrought at their
own puddling furnace.. Filteen miles eastward
lie village of 1500 people, aituated at the
outlet of a splendid sheet of water, which in its
descent of 150 leet, carriea all needed machine

ther town is famous bar its brass kettles; an ar
tide made nowhere else in the nation ; and lite
trade of making which, il i raid, was stolen
from England. Hard by, are two contiguous
towns, made densely populous even on their
rugged hill-sides, snd independently rich by the
manufacture of brie clods. These in, Ices of
the ordinary kind, co-ting from nine shillings to
two dollar, are sold over the world at an ad
vance of 500 or lUKI per cent. Cuming farther
eastward into Hartford county, you find a gang
of hands digging copper ore from the bowels of
mot hor eanh. Then you enter a town of 1(100
people supported entirely by nuking axus. Fol
lowing tbe FarotingWiB Uiver, ad pacing ma
ny estahlndrmeota, you alight at a town of 1510
inhabitants, right in the gorge, where the river
in it dahkig freak, like a lover without eyes,
instead of making tta way easily aod honestly
down to New Haven, breaks it way through
theTalcott mountain lor toe purpose of making'
train! with the Connecticut. These people
are Scotchmen, making carpets. But this is
only a part of the eetabliahnvent; the remain

But to return over to Connecticut river, for
in our rspid flight we have already crowd it
twice, and in making our wny into Tolland co , ,
we enter the region of cotton and woolen. And
here, at the outlet of a beautiful lake, rendered
memorable by the 'Life of poor Sarah,' who died
on its banks, you must stop to see a village of
1200 people, grown up in the course of a dozen
years, having some six or eight mills making
eattinettsand the nicest enssimers in the coun
try. In other sections of the county are furna
ces, cotton and woolen mills, machine shops.
Here, too, is a town, and it is our own dear
'Mantua,' with four or five silk factories, where
the great part of yonr tailors obtain their ttvA'tan
sewing silk and twist . Here the screw-angnr
was invented. Out time will fail to spook ef ill.
Hird by, in Windham county, is a population
of 1800, miking cotton cloth. In the eastern
part of the county, in the valley of a eingla
stream, in the space of twenty miles, are at tenst
twelve cotton factory villages. In New Ixm
don county is manufactured India-rubber in a
variety of forms. In Norwich, woollen and
cotton milla abound. And here one sirrgte pa
per mill, tbe owner informed me, made&fiO,
000 worth of pa per per annum. New Iuidun and
Rlonirgton ire growing rich out of the whale
fishery, Lyme, situated at the mouth of the
Connecticut, furnishes sea captains for the Lon
don and Liverpool packets, ind seainnao man
their yards. Sailing tip that river, rw filled
with seines for shid, you pass a quarry of free
stone. Then you enter a shop, a branch of a
large establishment located in M eriden, which
monopulizca the whole business, of manufactu
ring ivory. Here you find ivory comb, piano,
forte beys, umbrella tips, dice, and all kinds of
ornamental wori made of elephinl's teks.
Then you need not smile at veritable esta
blishment (or making patent ink Blinds, employ
ing thirty men. Next you will find a shop tur
ning out axe helves, next a screw factory. Then
you pass, on the bank of therivcr,'enother quar
ry, a rich vein of gneiss, spi tting about as rea
dily as chesnut timber, a vein about twenty rods
wide, from whence have been sent vaM quanti
ties of stone, to various parts of the Union and
to the Wert Indies. And thou another quarry
of red sandstone, employing 300 Irndwien and
their overseers. 1 bid almost forgoMon whole
town, made rich by the minufaclureot 1I kinds
of bells, each m sleigh, horse, clock nd cow
bella. In this city it is no easy lack to leK what
is manufactured, except coaches. kek, intel

Tit j. Shootiho. The editor of lbs Hoston
Herald, telle a .marvellous itory of tbe bo.ing
exploita of tbe late Col Marrtmftort,'hiiperon
al friend. He say "Ws saw him throw two
potatoes into the air and bora them botb an tbe
air with a single bullet. We saw him W this
with bom rifl and pistol. W saw 4iraa take
down five mallows aucressively on Ibe wing
with his rifle, with single ball. We aw him
plant for auccetiiv ball in tbe centre., close
ly that but one bole could have been detected.
At th filth ehot. hia rifle hung fire. Keverth
ieta, tbe half of the diameter of the ball was
within the bole. We nw bim ebant at liv
ing otijivt at least a thotmand tune, tut never
saw him draw trigger in vain, never knew ha
bullet to vary a hair's breadth from the spot
where bs bad previously aaid he would plac il .'
