MELANCHOLY CASE OF DRowNING-The Norfolk Cor

| hasten to inform you of the melancholy death by
drowning of Mr.. Americas Moss of this city, former

to mourn over his sudden death. Deceased in compa-
ny with two Others went out under the drawbridge
for the purpose OF fishing The current running very
strong forced the boat against pile; throwing Mr..
Moss and Mr. B. T. Bockeroyer. his friend into the wa
ter. Mr. b. succeeded in regaining the boat, but Mr..
Moss, in attempting to swim ashore, sunk but "a few
yards from the land, and more. His body
was recovered this morning about one o'clock, and
inferred this afternoon by the Odd Fellows. His po-
cy for life insurance reached this city but yesterday,
and it was his intention to have paid the premium of
$50 Monday. He leaves wife and child, who de-

lIGH PRICE FOR NEGRoEs.-There has beer great
demand for negroes in this city during the months
of May, June and July, than ever known before and
they have commanded better prices during that time
This latter is unusual thing, the summer months
are generally the dulest in the year for that descrp
ton of property. Prime field hands (women) will
now bring from $1,000 to 100, and men from $3.50
to $500. Not long since likely negro girl sold in
this city at private sale for Sl7o0. large number
Of negroes are bought on speculation, and probably
there is not less than $4,000 600 in town seeking
invesure in such property.-RichraOnd Dispatch.

DEATH OF JUDGE John +. MAY.-This old and es-
eemed citizen of Petersburg says the Erpress depar
ted this life at his residence High street, yester-
day morning at the advanced age ofT2 years. He
leaves behind many to mourn his loss.
Judge May too well known to our readers
that they should expect from us relation of his
ny virtues, and good acts through life He was for
long time member of the Virginia Legislature from
this place The prominent position he held in that
body is doubt still fresh in the memory of his CO.
temporaries As candidate for the gubernatoria
chair upon the resignation Of the lamcnted Gilmer
he was at the head Of the list. and would doubtless
have been successful but for the steps taken by the
Legislature in stopping the election. He served at
forwards as Judge ofthe Circuit Superior Court for
this district and his minisration was such as to mer
il the highest eulogiums of praise. In word, has
public life has been one of success and honor. AT n
ripe old age he has been gathered to the grave, fol-
lowing soon after his late and accomplished son-in-
law, the Hon, Judge Thos. H. Bayly, of Accomac.'

THIRTY FOURTH CONGRESS.

MONDAY, Dec. 3.
SENATE.-The standing committees were re-
ported. They are nearly the same as last year.
Rev. Nj. Hill, a Baptist minister of Wash.
ington, was elected chaplain.
The Senate then resumed the debate on the
motion to paint the Presidents message.
Mr.. Bigler entered largely into defence of
the President against the attacks of the Re-
publicans, and in reply to a question by Mr..
Wade, relative to Mr.. Buchanau's policy, he
(Bigler) said the people of kanzas must de-
termine the question of slavery for them
selves, but he had no doubt that Mr. Buchan-
an, like most northern men, would prefer that
she should be admitted into the Union as q
free State. Adjourned.
HoUsE.-The Presidents message was read
to- day.
Mr.. Campbell of Ohio, moved its reference
to the committee of the whole on the state of
the Union, taking occasion strongly to con-
denim the assertions of the President relative
to the Republicans, and charging the Demo-
Gratis with deception of conduct in the late
Presidential contest, and succeeding by trick
cry and duplicity in regard to the Nebrask a
bill-those in the North giving different in
depreciation from that held by the South.
Mr.. Sherman zealously defended the Re-
publicans, and said that abe Presidents char
ges were gratuitous, and that it was equally
untrue that they designed or wished to change
the relative positions of the white and black
races, or to interfere with slavery in the States.
The debate was animated, and listened to by
crowded galleries.

WASHINGTON NEws,-W Washington, Dec. s.
Mr.. Lumley, the late British Secretary of L.
cation, still remains here, officiating as Charge
d Affairs in general but holding no official con-
nection with our government. Mr.. Waid, one
Of the Attaches of the Legation, returned to
England in the last steamer. 1t is announced
in diplomatic circles that a new minister will
not be sent during Gen. Pierces term. Lord
Palmerston will, therefore, emphasize his
friendly overture by sending Mr.. Champion s
successor to Mr.. Buchanan. 1t was signi6ed
through Dallas, that minister should be
now appointed, if intimation was given from
here, but Mr.. Marcy declined.
The Star announces an impression that
Judge Lecompte of Kanzas, is removed, and
James D. Harrison appointed in his place. 1t
is learned from high authority that such is not
the fact that, up to this morning, Leoompte
was not removed, anG that the President is
waiting for the Judges defence, which is dali
ly expected.
Considerable excitement prevailed here, to-
day, among the southern members of Con-
gress, in consequence of the news of an in g.
surrection among the blacks in Southern Ken
lucky. The latest information Is that it was
promptly put down.

NEGRO MOVEMENTS AT THE SoUTH.-Ne-
gro Plot IL, Tennessee. Nashville, Dec. g.
A plot for the rising of the negroes in this
State, has been detected, causing great ex-
element in Montgomery County, where it
was first discovered. 1t is alleged that Christ
mas eve had been fixed upon for the rising,
and the most extensive arrangements had
been made to carry it out successfully.
One white man has been arrested, together
with great many negroes, including many of
the generals, captains, and other officers of
the proposed movement. Several of them
have made full confessions.
large collection of arms and ammunition
has been seized. The church at Louisa Fur
mace had been undermined, and powder placed
beneath it, ready to be blown up when filled
with people.
The plot, it is believed, extends over wide
range of territory, south and west. There is
an extra patrol OH duty every night at Clarks-
vile, and every housekeeper is well armed,
and prepared for any emergency.
Rebellion among the SlaUeS of kentucky
Vigilance Committees formed.-Louisville,
Dec. GA report has reached the city that
the negroes in Southern Kentucky had brok-
Ell out in rebellion, and that general insur-
rection was feared. They had commenced
an attack upon the iron works. and vigilance
committees had been formed in Lafayette and
Hopkinsyille for the purpose of taking prompt
action in the matter.

FASHION CONVENTION. The New York
correspondent of the Charleston Mercury
makes the following bold suggestion:
1.-The last great excitement in the fashion,
able world has been caused by the announce
ment OF a convention to be held at Brussels
next year, to which delegates are to be sent
from all parts of the world, in order to discuss
existing modes, advocate national costumes, or
defend national pecuiariies. The ugly beaver
hat, the ungraceful trousers, the stiff collar
of the European gentleman, together with
our hoops and small bonnets, are to be severe
" Investigated, and superseded, if possible,
by something more rational in their estima-
ton. In view of this, it has been proposed
to call convention of American leaders of
the Fashion. designers and artlSteS, in order
to cut loose from foreign restrictions, and es-
tablish an American Platform for National
Costume. Why should we be subject to for
eign interference in dress any more than in
poltics?''
This story of convention at Brussels is
probably founded on account which has been
given Of the formation of Retrenchment
Association in that capital. To such an ex-
tent had extravaganza in dress and living
been carried in Brussels-although not proba-
bly, greater there than in many other places
that young men of moderate means did not
udTe 10 marry. LII This unnatural STATE OF
things the mothers took the matter up, and
seriously resolved to retrench expenses, and
make economy fashionable. The Society met
weekly to receive reports of retrenchment al
ready effected, and to discuss others. Great
praise is due to these women, and much good
would be effected if their example would be
followed in other places. If the women gem
orally would discard the extrayagancies of
dress that are increasing so fast, would refuse
silks and costly laces, and employ only those
simple adornments which most become their
beauty, they would render immens public
service. There are many articles of dress
that are valuable only from the caprice of
fashion. tits as easv to make the fashion
cheap as expensive; and there are in every
community, women whose dictum in the mat
ter of fashion is the law to all their sex. Per-
haps they do not always consider how much
good they are capable of doing

scene of considerable interest occurred at the
States Prison, in thus city, on Tuesday, when
billiard, convicted OF the murder of a man at
his public house in Natick, two years ago, was
pardoned by the Governor and Council. II
seems that Mrs, billiard, who has been resd-
ing in this city for some time past and occa-
sionally visiting her husband, was at the pris-
on, soliciting permission to convey to him a
small box Of wedding cake. At this time
Lieut.. Gov. Benchley came in, and the man
was sent for; and thereupon in presence of
his astonishcd wife, his pardon was read to
him, and he was at once discharged from con.
hnement. The woman was greatly overcome
by the excitement Of the moment and after
some time leil the prison in company with her
