Thus ended the first sports of the week, the evening being spent overacham- pagne bottle, by the combatants and their friends. ‘The uoxt affair of honor was between Capt Folsom. the agent and principal owner of the great Leidersdorif e3- tate, and Mr. Russell, the editor of the Evening Picayune. The latter, who was acancidate on the whig ticket for the Assembly, charged that Capt. Folsom had offured to spend $6000 for election purposes, provided the waig convention would nominate a particular individual for county judge, and having failed in accomplishing the purpose. got up the independent movement, which re- sulted in the election of the democratic candidate. Capt. Folsom denied the charge; the Picayune substan- tially repeated it.

The parties met, exchanged two shota, with- out damaging either, when mutual friends interfered, and the affair was amicably arranged, The charge was withdrawn, or so varied as to satisty ths Captain, who, in return, made his charge of falsehood a * Pickwickiaa” epithet, and returned to his dollars and cents, and the editor to his quill and scissors. ‘The third conilict came off on Saturday evening caused by a broil in a saloon the evening previous, between Capt, Schatter, formerly of the U. 3.

At the word, they wheeled, and both cuas ware beard at the same iustant—scurcely a pereeptible differ- ence in the reports. When the smoke cleared away, the two hombres stood unharmed.

The sport was ended for the day, and a convivial party in the evening, end aching heads next morning, with empty champague Lottles, alone were left as perishable saonuments ef the faot that two of God’s images had made themselves tar- gots, because they had mot the courage to refuse to it, The fourth sport of the kind, so characteristic of the week, proved more rerious in its consequences than any which Ihave yet recorded. ‘The readers of the Henao will recollect an sccouat your correspondent gave of a street rencontre between George Frank Lemon, a lieutenant in the New York regiment, and William &, Grabsem, © yourg lawyer trom Philadelphia, in which the latter was wounded in the arm. and shot through the cheek, tho pistol which inflicted the wound being placed ethis mouth as he layon his back. ‘The cause of the actuck by Graham was the allegation that Lemon bad induced him to warry his mistress. Graham reooverod from his wounds after afew weeks confinement, and on Saturday morning sent Lemon » challenge to fight him, under the duelio code. The proposition wes accepted, and the prelimtnartes arranged thas: —The parties were to he stationed at tem pacea, with Colt’s five suooters, d to fire until one or both fell, or the five shots were expended, when, ifnot yet satisfed, the pistols were to loaded. The battle ground selected was Martinez, a little town opposite Vallejo, the new State capitel, on the Sacramento, and the combatauts left on the tour o’clock boat on Saturdey, witn deadly invent, each vow- ing to fight until one or both had psid the forfeit which alone will satisfy. Yesterday mornin, nay), aban honr when others were wending their way to places of public worship and the prayers of the righteous were ascending on high, the dsadly enemies met upon the bat- tle field.

God forbid that it ever should. Summary of Events. ‘From the Gan Francisco Herald, Sept. 15.) ‘The event of interest, and one which has geen the chief topic of discussion in political circles during the past fortaight, is the riection for State and county officers, which was held on the 3d instant. In this coun ty the ‘whigs obtained an average unsjority of 095 for State officers. For county offices the howors are about equally divided.

[From the San Francisco Herald, September 14.) ‘The news from all the mining regions 18 of the most encouraging character, as regards the amount of gold which wil be taken out. ‘The dry diggings will be most successfully worked during the winter, and the rain will be likely to present little obstacle to working the quartz mines. Many companies are preparing to work the quartz mines with improved machinery, and we shall ex- pect to hear of # heavy yield from those mines. Supplies are being rapidly sent forward, axd there seems to be no well founded reason to suppose that less work will be done through the winter than the past summer, We have many encouraging private accounts from the various mining regions, and shall publish some of them as soon as We can get space. At Doty’s flats, near Aubura, a very promising lead of the gold bearing rock has been opened. Specimens have been brought to town, and the test is said to be highly #a- tiafacrery. They bave been very successful for some weeks past | upon Feather river, near the point where the streain breake from the mountains into the plains, ‘The river bus been partially turned, and the bed found to be re- mackebly rich A few weeks of dry weather will enable tho e holding claime to realize fortunes. ‘The company which was organized the last summer for the purpose of diverticg the water of Bear river ata potot near Liiuocistown, and throwing the stream inte Auburn, are successfully prosecuting their labors. We bear (hat upwards of 500 men are employed in the con- struction of this work, which will be completed in the course of six weeks, The iuesleulable sdvautages to be exived from @ copious eupply of water in this flourishing mining tow, are apparent to those who are familiar with the miverological deposits in that vieiairy of the village.

In the moun tains the reins were more severe, so much #0 that the tributaries of the Sacramento were swollen over | ‘ foot, and the force of the water was 80 in some instances as to sweep off dams which were but partially completed. We are rejoiced to hear, however that no material damage has as yet been done ; but if the equi- noxial storma commence as early as they did last year, immense lostes must ensue. In truth, we can have ne conception cf the tremendous destruction of property which would follow upon any immediate and considera- ble rise in the streams above us, The millions of trea- eure now lying in the beds of the rivers, easily accessible to the miner would be immediately placed beyond their reach for the remainder of the season, and the great ex pense and labor to which they had been aul would | avail nothing. However, we trust that the season will | prove propitious, and that before the rains commence for the season, the moat sanguine anticipations of the diggers in the streams may be fully realized. If the wet season does not ect in the lst of November, nearly all the claims in the bed of the river will be thoroughly gleaned of their treasure, and then the harvest of the miners who labor in the ravines will commence, to contiaue until the dry reasen again drives them to the rivers, or, if for- p~4 tmiles upon them, to their former homes in the East. .

At the Mission of Carmel. near Monterey, and in that vicinity, considerable attention has been paid to agrical- ture during the present season. and the crops ave highl: promising. The fruit erop in Los Angeles this season very abundant, the peach snd pear orchards being co;n- pleiely overbur’ ned by the immense londs of frait with which their -nehes are covered. The vineyards also are extreme!, , rolific, and will yield a handsome revenue to their owners by the vale of fresh favit and in wine, ‘There is a fine firld for the agriculturist in that section of the country, as land is to be had on the most reasona- ble terms, improved or unimproved Notwithstaudiag the revenue from the cultivated estates is so great and almost certain, several gentlemen who have already ac- cumulated handsome fortuses are ready to dispose of their estates. ‘The very extensive property of Mr, Wolf- ekill, one of the best establishments in the Pucbla, in the mort perfect order, has been offered for the sum of $25,000. as we are informed. The yearly revenue from the products ean rcarcely be less than $20.000 per annum, ‘Under proper management. The lauds at the Mission, #bout seven miles from the Purbia, once extensively cul- tivated under the superintendence of the privsts, are now again likely to produce bountitally. Several enterprie- ing Americans nave already located claims upon them with the intention of bringing them wader a high state of cultivation, avd they will soon teem: wit the alimoob spontaneous productions of the fruitful soil Pilscellaneous.

The Markets, Ban Francisco, Since the date of our last review fair averag: ing displayed with regard to some articles, which has lea to extensive sales. Several vessels have left aud are about leaving, with full cargoes of general merchandise, | for Sydney. No freak ce, however, has come to hand, and all intercourse must be very irregular for the tnture ; hence the probability of our not having any later advices for come time. ‘The late rain eppears to have extended a long distance up the country, and created fears in soma quarters that the winter was to prematurely set in.
