Lightning has become the servant of man _ and steam his hand-maiden; The golden treasures of the Pacific have been brought from the deep recesses of the earth to minister to the necessities' of man, The nation has , Survived the shock of civil war, and we are to-day a united people. The retrospect and prospect may well excite the pride of the ‘people of the country, and it furnishes an evidence that a goverhment founded. on the right of the pevple to’ participat®in its affuirs is the strongest and gives the greatest prosperity. Labor here is better appreciated than in any othercountry, afd the way to power and position is open from the most . , humble wulks of life. The common school system brings.within the reach of all the advantages of an education, andin no country is true merit more highly appreciated than in the United States. People who enjoy the grand privileges resulting from this Republic, should study to fully. understand and appreciate them. The young should. grow up to venerate the memories of the men of 1776, and to respect the laws and institutions of the country, while-men in public positions should be held to a strict account for the faithful performance of duty. The indiscrimi“ nate abuse and denunciation of all in public life should be discouraged, and that proper credit given to posttion as will induce good men to take upon themselves public duty. The best'men of the country should par_. ticipate in the affairs of government and ‘the selection of public officers, with as great zeal'as they. enter-upon . . the‘discharge of the most sacred duty. “The men who stand aloof and prate about the low ebb.of public morality, should remember that they have it in __theirpower, and_it is their duty to’ aise the ntandard of public virtue. Does any‘man suppose the Declaration -of' Independence would “have ever been issued had the good men and. true stood back and de“nounced thé evils that existed, -without trying to right them? And yet men were as vile and dishonest in *hrose days as now. Whilethe Pharisee sees in the times growing evil, and only evil, the man who looks impartially upon matters, and studpresent, must be convinced that things are not so bad as some would make them. We believe that there is now as much virtue, intelligence and patriotism among the American people as ever, and that there is reason for congratulation, in the fact that while wrongs are now more eas' ily and generally exposed, and corruptions brought to hght, punishment is more certain to follow, and thus the evil disposed are deterred from committing offence, ‘To-day as we celebrate the anni» Yersary of American Independence, ‘Wao 3 New Orican’ Duel. ing were past in the United States, “. but sith. does not-seém td Be. tife case, from the acogunts ‘New Orleans, in whi pag Rae By J es . Mr “editor of the ne ‘of that city. The difficulty from which Judge Cooley lost his life had: been . brewing for some time. It seems that a libel suit had been instituted against the proprietors of the: Picayune, for comments made concerning Judge Hawkins’ conduct in connection with the Louisiana complica}tions. Judge Cooley «was: Judge Hawkins’ attorney in this suit, which -resulted in a-heavy verdict, as was alleged, by the “erroveousrulings of the Court before whom the trial was had. The immediate cause of the duel was the reply of Judge Cooley, throtgh. the Times, to an article which had appeared in the Picayune, Cooley assuming the quarrel of Judge Hawkins, We find in the St. Louis Globe, the gist of the article which led to the libel_suit, and ultimately to the duel, It reads’as follows: Sage es a di endure that monstrous party cres-tion, the Supreme District Court? How much Cone will they quietly submit to the decrees of 4 bastard Judge of a bastard Court, created by a bastard Legislature? Have they any respect for that compound of perjury and perfidy, Jacob. Hawkins, who assumes to-preside over the Court that was specially created to reward him for Bicswes. his daty and his oath as ‘a returning officer? How mach longer. will the members of our bar continue to recognize the illegal tribunal and its perjured Judge? Mr. Rhett being the challenging party, Judge Cooley selected doublebarreled shot guns loaded with ball as the wespons with which they should fight. The parties proceeded to a’ spot near Montgoniery Station, Miss., July ist, arriving there about 10 a, M., accompanied by their seconds and surgeons. The ground was promptly selected, and the distance, forty paces, measured off. -The parties were then placed in position. At the first fire, Khett’s shot ranged high ‘and Cooley’ s to the right. Cooley delivered his fire first. At the second fire both fired simultaneously. Cooley fell mortally wounded, the ball entering the left side, passing apparently though the heart. He expired in six minutes without any apparent suffering, oaly speaking these words to Dr, Halliday: “i ‘am shet through the breast.’ The gentlemen engaged in the affair exg second fire, and separated with expressions of mutual respect and consideration. —<_ Hypsavurié Minine.—A gentleman returning from p tour through the mining districts of Nevada county, before leaving for San Francisco yesterday, expressed tous his surprise at the number and extent of the mining operations in sucéessful » working in almost every partof the upper portions of our.county, There ‘is no question, though we make“ Tittle blow about it, that Nevada is the banner county of the State in hydraulic and quartz mining. We have, it'is'true, no Yosemities to-attract pleasure seekers to this locality, and ho wild cat ations to place upon California street, but when the narrow gauge: is in running order from Colfax we expect to attract . hither individuals who desire tomake permanent investments but are so delicately constituted as to be deterred by the fear of the ride of some ten or twelve miles over a stage road. We will have palace cars on our narrow gauge expressly for the accommodation of such, and shall then expect to see them ‘‘flocking as ‘doves to our windows.” So says the Grass Valley Union.
