WHAT THEY SAY OF GEN. PIERCE AT HIS

WHAT THEY SAY OF GEN. PIERCE AT HIS OWN HoME.-The Independent Democrat, treesol paper, published in Concord, Gen. IPerce's own town, and edited by MT. Fogg, Ia gentleman of character and standing, the late Secretary of State of New Hampshire,
 makes the following remarks upon Gen. Pierce's letter denying the truth of the re-
 ports of his New Boston speech. There is Inc sort of doubt that Gen. Pierce in that letter denied with the utmost deliberation what he knew 10 be true:
 "The extraordinary character of this re- IpIv of Pierce leaves us no other alterna- tive but 10 believe the writer insane. That
 he would deliberately pen such batch of luntruths, in his right mind, is loo monstrous
 for belief. He certainly would not, unless
 aboring under some fatal hallucination,
 venture to make an issue of veracity against
 as many unimpeachable citizens as have al-
 ready sworn to the accuracy of the reports IIot his New Boston speech. lie must be in- sane.
 Before God and the hundreds who heard |Ithat speech, he knows that he uttered the sentiments attributed to him in all their IIIength and breadth. He knows that he ut lItered similar sentiments at Bradford and in lIthis toaon. And yet he dishonesty or in- sanely denies them, and claims the Presi- Idency on the ground that he never utter
 ed a vord in disapprobaton of slavery. Il But we will not pursue this subject at the | present time. We regret to see that Gen
 Pierce places himselfin the humiliating DO
 sition he now occupies. In the first place Hit was silly in him to write letter at all.-- In the second place, he should not have written 10 fre-eating disunonist. And in the third place, he should have writer Ithe truth. As it is, he will suffer for being lin bad company; for having joined issue or la question of veracity already decided |against him; and, finally, for evincing ( lIspaniel-like craving for the Presidency, al Il Ithe exp pense of all self-respect, which mus
 lose him the respect and confidence of high
 minded men, North and South. Genera Pierce will lose thousands of votes by this letter in the free States, while he will no gain one in the slave States.

Two kENTUcKIANs KILLED.--A Calfor- nia letter gives the following accounts of a tragedy in which two Kentuckians were en- gagged.
 A terrible tragedy was enacted on the Plains near Bear River. It occurred be- tween two brothers-ia-law, BeasIy and BeaI. The parties agreed on separation; and Beasy got the weaker team and had a sick man in his wagon. Immediately after the division, he htched up his team and pro- ceeded on his journey, leaving Beal at Green river. In a few hours after, Beal started and in the course of the day overlook Beas- y on hill where he had stopped to rest his mules. The former turned out of .the road and passed blythe latter asking him if it were his intention to leave him (Beasly) with the sick man. Upon Beal's answer being given in the affirmative, Beaslev step ped 10 the front of his own wagon, drew out his rifle, and deliberately shot him down, killing him instantly. A large train came up about this time, and stopped and buried the murdered man. Beasly was tried, found guilty, and shot the next morning. Both were from Kentucky.

DP A very cool way of earning living is diving for coal in the Ohio river, at Gin cinnati. Men work up 10 their chins in water, and make good work of it at that. They obtain, during the day, some 80 or 100 bushels of coal; and occasionally secure a barrel of whisky, and various miscelane- ous articles of hardware, etc. There are some strange ways of making money in the world and surely this is one of them.
