substances. These "moxas" must be

CURIOUS Story ABOUT THE UEEN'S
MEssAaE.-I have heard from a high
source to-day, a somewhat singular
statement, which, If true [and i can.
not doubt IT., explains two matters,
namely: First, how the President
was secured from oeing hoaxedin tbs
matter Of the Queens message on the
sub-Ailantic telegraph; and secondly
why he should come from the Sol
dier's Home into tina city, ear nlid-
night, to write his answer. The
statement is, that copies of both doc
uments were prepared some time ago
and exchanged between the parties,
and that Queen Victoria's note aud a
copy of Mr.. Buchanan's reply were
locked up in the State Department.
This was done, il is said, to prevent
imposition and a very admirable
plan it certainly was. The reason
why the President returned 10 the
city at night, Is hereby made obvious,
as it undoubtedly was for the purpose
of comparing the message sent To him
with the copy previously placed in his
possession, and also to obtain his "
prepared reply from the State he
partment. The fact of the Queeii's
message being incomplete, and what
was the substance OF the closing Et,r-
ton, seems to have been known q
Mr.. Buchanan when be wrote Jis &C.
ply; and the wording Of the repiv IL.
self favors the latter assumption.

SENATOR PUGH.-This gentleman is now
engaged in making speeches at various
points in all last winter, according to Mr..
Buchanan, he failed to support the Presi-
den and rumor says actually quarrel with
him respecting appointments to Office. A
correspondent Of the Portsmouth Tribune
says that in his speech in that city he asked
the Democracy. "Who are the party OPP
posed to you?a and he proceeded to answer
his own inquiry, in a manner so regardless
of truth aud fairness, whether intentional or
because he knew no better. that he deems
it quite appropriate to ask in return, who are
the Democratic partys--or rather his branch
of it.
He proceeds to say:
ain shorl history OF our government the
Democratic party in order to keep with the
current, and thereby secure the popular vote
has had the misfortune to have changed
front so often, that It IS difficult to recognize
it as the saine, in the various positions to
which we meet it. a De
