ANOTHER MEMBER OF CoNGREss IN THE
FIELD. The Hon. S. Price, u member of
Congress from Missouri, has arrived in st.
Louis TO take command of a regiment Of Mis-
souri, volunteers to proceed to Santa Fe. The
Reveille says;
eve learn that the Hon. Sterling Price has
been appointed to the command Of a regiment,
more for the purpose of acting as commissioner
in any matters of treaty between our Govern
ment and the authorities of New Mexico, than
for any great purposes Of warfare. AS it is
the policy Of the Government to bring about
an honorable peace with as little delay as pos
sble, officers have been sent out, fully possess

who are empowered to treat with the enemy
whenever an opportunity may offer. In this
capacity, we judge, Colonel Price takes COM

HERR ALEXANDER. This celebrated magi-
can is again astonishing the Gothamites with
his wonderful tricks. The editor of the ''Spir-

"On Monday evening he produced from the
tips ofhs fingers more Star Spangled Banners
than would carpet the "Halls of the Montezu-
mas, and on Thursday at the discharge Of a
single pistol, a hundred candles started into
light at once. We would advise the corpora

in the capacity of lamplighter, as, by the dis.

The WAR WITH MExICo-RumorS Of .Nego-
tiation Although not in the habit of placing
much confidence in rumors coming from Wash
ington, yet the reports that negotiations fsome
kind are on foot for an adjustment of our diff
culties with Mexico, reach us in so many forms,
that we think they are entitled to some credence'
The Washington correspondent of the New
York Herald says:
There is prospect Off treaty with Mexico
being under weigh, if information from high
quarters can be relied on. A proposition from
Mexico is believed to to have been received at
the State Department.
The following is from the Washington cor
respondent of the Philadelphia North Amer-
can:
Although it is not my habit to repeat rumors,
one came from the White House to the Senate
Chamber this morning, and was there repeated
by the Vice President, which looked improbable,
but yet may have some foundation. 1t was to
the effect, that secret negotiation is now 60
ing on for terminating the war with Mexico.

HARVEST IN MARYLAND. We notice by our
exchanges that in various sections of the state,
our farmers have commenced harvesting, but we
regret to say that the complaints are general in
regard to the injury sustained by the wheat
by fly, scab and rust. The Mediterranean
wheat, however, appears to have escaped to a
considerable extent, while other varieties have
suffered severely The Centreville Times says
of the crops in that county:
Some fields will not pay the expenses of har-
vestng, it is said. The Mediterranean wheat
has generally escaped. All the smooth wheats
have been injured by the scab which appeared
fortnight ago.
OF the wheat crop in Kent county the Kent
News says:
A number of our farmers have commenced
reaping Mediterranean wheat, which is much
less injured by the Hessian fly, scab, and rust,
than other varieties. The later wheat is very
much affected by the scab, and the probability
is, that the injury to the wheat crop from this
disease is much greater than has been realized
in any one year since 1914. The complaint a
mongst farmers seems to be general, although
some localities have been more severely visited.
We have heard of some crops where the esti-
mated loss is one-fourth.

GEN. RUFUS WEIGH. We regret TO learn
from the Boston Times that Gen. Rufus Welch,
the prince of Circus managers, is suffering
from another attack of his old enemy, nfam-
matory rheumatism, and he is now confined to
his room in that city. The General has been
sorely afflicted with this distressing mplady, and
he had recently recovered as he supposed from
a violent attack which confined him to his bed
for upwards of ten weeks.

THE PALMYRA AFFAIR-A Tragic Story
We stated few days ago, that a rencontre &C.
CURED at Palmyra, Mo, between Jos. w. G To-
yer, Esq. and Geo. w. Buckner, Esq. in which
both were killed The Palmyra Wing gives
the following particulars of the unfortunate.af-
fair:
On the 2lst ult., Henry c. Broaddus, Esq,
formerly of this place, but then residing at
Bowling Green, challenged DR.. John l.. Tay-
lor, Mr.. Buckner being the second of Mr.. Broad
dus. DR.. Taylor accepted the challenge, and
Mr.. Glover was his second. Mr.. Broad
dus did not agree to the terms of combat, and
the expected duel did not take place. Mr..
Broaddus published a card denouncing DR.. Tay-
lor; and in reply to that DR.. Taylor and MIR.
Golver each published his card, denouncing
both Messrs. Broaddus and Buekner.
On Saturday night about half-past o'clock
Mr.. Glover left the residence of S. T. Glover
Esq, his brother, uuarmed, to go to Theodore
jones', to sit up with the remains of Miss
Jones, who died that evening after protractec
illness. Just opposite to Mr.. James L. Peaks
the rencontre took place. The reports of two
pistols were heard. In a moment Mr.. Glover

AN EXTRAORDINARY HERMIT. A letter wri-
ter from New Hampton, N. H., gives an ac-
count of man who has lived for about fifty
years alone, secluded from all others, in small
hut, about five miles from the institution at
that place, A few of the students recently
paid him visit, of which the writer says:
Grinding that several of our number were
studying theology, he appeared to take much
satisfaction in asking them questions concern
ing the Bible, which they were not able to an
swer-such as how many chapters certain books
contain, SC. He said, he did not lead happy
life, but seemed about as much resigned to his
lot as some politicians are to the defeat of their
party, with the expectation that defeat will
throw off the dross, His only clothing was
coarse shirt, with cotton pants and shoes. He
will not read newspapers because they lie So
reads his Bible ana some books of history. He
evinced a strong love for the Bible, and acute
sense ofrght and wrong.
He commenced this mode of life at the age
of , and is of course now about 10, and bids
fair TO live many years yet. His hair was cut
very short, and his beard was nearly the same
length. He has several out-buildings nearly
filled with farming utensils, &C., most ofwhich
are of his own rude construction. He has gath
cred and cut up vast quantity of wood, which
is piled in heaps some 20 feet high, on his pre-
misses. He has no stock, not even a cat or dog
for companion. Should sickness or misfor
tune overtake him, he has no means of convey
ing intelligence to any friends, though he has
many in the vicinity. He could be brought to
assign no reason for pursuing this mode of life,
except that his health was not so good when he
lived with Others as when alone.
1t is said that all important actions are deci
ded upon by him, by casting LOtS;so, should any
anxious visitor (of which he has hundreds) find
no admttance to his humble cot, he must
charge his misfortune to the FateS."

SANTA ANA ADOPTING AN AMERICAN Boy.
Waddy Thompson's recent work on Mexico,
gives favorable view of the character Of Gen.
Santa Ana. Various instances of his clemen-
cy are told, and among other remarkable Incl
dents we have the following anecdote.
"Amongst the prisoners taken at Mier was
very shrewd and handsome boy, of about 10
years of age, John Hill. On their arrival in
Mexico, this boy was not closely confined as
the other prisoners were; and he came to see
me, and requested that would ask the Presi-
dent to release him. told him to go himself,
and | was sure that Santa Ana would be more
apt to do it on his own account than on mine.
A few DAYS afterwards the little fellow re-
turned to my house very handsomely dressed,
and told me that he had been liberated, and
gave me the following account OF what had
passed between himself. and the President:
When he requested Santa Ana to release him,
the latter replied-"Why, if do, you will go
back and fight me again. The Santa Fe pri-
soners were released on their parole of honor
not to bear arms again against Mexico; and it
was not three months before half of them had
invaded the country again; and they tell me
that you killed several of my Mexicans at
Mier.' The little fellow replied that he did
not know how many he had killed, bat that he
had fired some fifteen or twenty times during
the battle. every well, says Santa Ana, Il
will release you, and, what is more, ! will adopt
you as my son,and educate you and provide for
you as SUCH"
The boy was sent to the house of General
Tornel, the Minister of War, and was really,
as know, adopted on full footing of equali-
ty in his family, and treated with the most pa
! rental kindness. He was afterwards placed at
the principal college in Mexico, where he was
pursuing his education when left the country.
General Santa Ana not only paid the charges
of his education, but in all respects cared for
him as a son. Some time after his own dis,
charge, little Hill came TO me to request that
would request the release of his father. | told
him no; that he was more successful than
was; to go and try his own hand again. He
did SO and obtained at once the release of his
father, and afterwards of a brother, who was
also among the prisoners
