BoMBARDMENT OF GREYTowN A DANGEROUS
PREcEDENr.--We cut from the New York Tri-
bune the following infamatory speech, which
was delivered at an indignation meeting in Lum-
berville, New Hampshire:
We learn that public meeting was held at
Lumberyille, N. H., on the 9th inst, to express
the indignation of the people at the insult of
fered to the fayorie son of that State, the Pres
ident, at Washington, on Saturday last, by an
egg flung from the hand of chivalrous Caro-
linian, whose name is Jeffards. A correspon-
dent has favored us with a report of the pro-
ceedings, from which it appears that the prin-
cipal speech of the occasion was made by Jo-
than PIERCE, Esq, (no relative of the Generals
| since his name is spelled differently and that
its eloquence was received with rapt attention
| and thunderous applause, We give herewith
the principal points of this remarkable speech ::
IAN egg fellow citizens, has been cast upon
| the Hat Of our honered Presidents By this
base act the valuable Hat Of his Excellency has
been seriously damaged, but this insult has
| deeper meaning and wider range-the Gov
eminent itself is insulted, and by whom
ask. sir, by whom Will you tell me that the
| wretch who threw the egg is the party of whom
| redress should be sought 1 scorn the conclu-
sion. How would such proceedings be regarded
| by foreign potentates' What would the En-
peror Nicholas say of it : The city of Wash
ington, sir, is then responsible for this insult.
| Her inhabitants are guilty of the crime, and
| shall they escape deserved punishment No.
| Let Washington, like Greytown, be blotted out.
| Immense applause.l Let the world know
that our Government, from the lowest to the
highest of its officials is not to be insulted with
impunity It may be said that some of the
people of Washington are American citizens
and innocent of the crime. So were they Of
Greytown. Is there any thing in the charao-
ter of the city which calls for mercy 1t was
| said of Greytown that most of its inhabitants
were peculators, disorderly persons and mig
gers Can that be denied of Washington?
ask, why should Greytown be destroyed and
Washington spared? Is the nose of an obscure
chap like Borland of higher national Importance
| than the old Hat of our honored President
| Sir, offer the following resolution
| ss RESOLVED, In view 'of the enormity of the
outrage offered to the President Pierce by the
City Of Washington, that Secretary Dobbir
should be directed to instruct Commander Hol
Inns to proceed with the sloop-of-war Cyane IL
that city, and to open upon it with all his guns
for two hours, without intermisson and in cast
anything should then remain standing, to lane
q party of marines and burn and destroy ths
residue and remainder, unless the authorities
shall humbly beg pardon of the President, ant
purchase for him new hat of such quality ant
cost as he shall select and approve"
Other speeches were made in support of th
resolution, after which it was unanimously
| adopted, and the crowd dispersed to their home

A Son DELIBERATELY MURDERED BY HIS
FATHER We extract the following from the
Cincinnati Atlas:
"Adolphus Swaneger deliberately shot his
son Charles on Thursday evening last. There
had been a difficulty between them, and the old
man had forbidden the son to come to his house.
On the evening of the murder the old man came
home about o'clock, and found Charles sitting
in chair in front of the house. He leveled his
gun and threatened to shoot. Charles did not
move, and his father fred, killing him instantly.
His head fell back and remained in that position
until removed by the Coroner next day. The
deceased was twenty EIGHT years old. The
occurrence happened three miles below New
Albany, Indiana; and the difficulty is said to
have been caused by improper advances made
to his fathers wife, who is not Charles
mother"

in transferring the grain from the latter to the
former vessel. All the parties were arrested
and bound over for trial.

come off at the end of the Pontchartrain Rail

band is one of the finest in the country, and the
music is of Che most choice, pleasant and agree
able character. Those who have already
attended will be sure to be present, and those
who have not can Hnd no amusement equal
thereto. The overtures to the best operhs are
played as at the Orleans Theatre, together with
much excellent miscellaneous music. Those
who desire it can also procure an admirable
supper at Boudro's or the Washington Hotel
The expense of getting down, attending the
concert and returning is only two bits, and We

tional and economical enjoyment.
RAoY.-We understand from sufficient and
competent authority that General Wells has re-
ceived an offer of l5, 900 for his horse Lecompte
from Mr.. W. W. Boyden, of the National Course
in New York, and that the offer has been replied
| to by statement that Lecompte could not. bs
had for any amount under $4,000.
| We understand that General Wells has alst
received letter from gentleman in Virgins
asking his price for Lecomte, to which he ha.
returned the same answer. We trust that nj
price will be sufficient to take from our State
the fastest and finest horse that ever ran race
General Wells can afford to keep him, and, We
trust, will.

We noticed in the list of entries Lexington

Littte Flea, Berry, Reube, Terriier, Wsid

have, at one time or another, put their best foot
foremost over the old "spring- board, stop.
watch track" and either raked in or down big
piles OF money. There are q great many
second-rate horses entered for the meeting
some of which, it is said, will appear here in
November.
Lexington, Blonde, Nat Blick, by Boston

Prince, are to run for the Aston House stake or
