The London Tines contains letter giving full de-
tails Of the late massacre at Rome by the Papal gen
d'armes One hundred and forty ms
were either killed or wounded. A number Of la
dies were injured and the American Vice-Consul
received a stab in the side Several of the French
military, of duty, were also wounded. letter to
the London Post dated March 20, says:
Yesterday being st. Josephs Day, It was general
" understood that grand promenade demonstra-
ton would be made outside the Porta Pa ia honor
Of Joseph Garibaldi, and in cOmmemoration Of the
annexation Of Central to Upper Italy. The Gov
ernment consequently gave orders for that long
road to be strongly occupied BY detachments Of
horse and foot gendarmerie
These dispositions, however, had the effect of
checking the demonstrations and some thousands
Of the promenaders resOrted to the Corso instead
where great numbers Of them appeared with the
innocent distinction Of punches Of violets in their
button-holes The patrols of gend'armes, who had
orders to parade the CorsO took umbrage at this
symbol, and insisted upon the promenacers walking
Eingy instead Of taking each others arms. So
strange demand Of course brought on, in some
cases. unpleasant rejoiRders; and the gendarmes I'M
accustomed to admit Of any reply to their high be-
hests, proceeded to make some arrests upon the
Piazza COlonna, which were resisted BY the people
their swords, and conflict would have taken place
then and there, had not French officer interfered,
and reasoning with the gend armies. induced them
to give up the prisoners. The people took this
triumph and the gend'armes skulzed off amidst uni
versal kissing.
They lost no time in making their complaint al
headquarters, and quarter Of an hour later a
patrol Of horse gendarmerie entered the Piazza d
1 Petra, while strong detachment of foot gendar
merle issued on the other side. These two forces
! then, with drawn swords, made combined attack
upon the unarmed people on the Piazza Colonna
and in the CorsO striking right and left, turning
/ hack carriages, knocking down foot passengers
men, women and children, ordering the cafes to BE-
closed and house-doOrs shut, and in fact running
complete muck. 1t Eiay be imagined what panl'
was produced by this unexpected ruthanlsm.
The people seemed terror-Stricken, and those whit
were not quick enough in escaping from the Cors'
by the side streets Frustrated by the remOrse
less sabres Of the gendarmes. The number of thes
victims are differently estimated-sOme account
giving eighteen and some sixty. There are only
at the hospital of San GiacomO and four at the Cor
solozine; but probably the greater part of tn
wounded persons would prefer being tended i
their own houses One or two Americans and som
Germans have felt the weight of the gendarme'
blows; and several Frenchmen, some OF whor
were officers in plain clothes, are amongst tn
wounded.

The Frmit PrnsneCI.

The Cincinnati Ga5etis of the 18th says In the
ncighbUrhOOd of Cincinnati the fruit trees without
exception. present an appearance that Is most en-
cUuraging. Apple, peach cherry and pear trees
are now thickly covered with blossoms, and with
favorable weather hcnCcforth the yield Of fruit
will be large. The trees exhibit healthy and Wig
OrOus growth. and are altogether In good condition
to bear full crop In other sections, the prospects,
especially regards peaches are not SO favorable.
From portions Of this State. we have advlCes that
the Weld of peaches must in any event be- trifng.
But throughout, there will. according 10 present
appearances, be full average crop of small fruit
much larger and better. IN yield and quality, than
we have had for several years past. The orchards,
of course, are not yet out Of danger Last year we
had killing frost m May, and even in June. But
those occurrences were extraordinary, and if we
should get safely into May, successful delveranCe
for the fruit crop Of 1860 may reasonably be anti
cipaSed We have said that the orchards look well.
The appearance presented at this time Is indeed
beautiful. But this does not constitute the only
attraction in the country. Every thing looks fine.
The fields, the meadows. the forests the gardens,
the shade trees and the shrubbery, have laid aside
the gloomy garb of winter, ard appearing in all
the beauties of spring. Nature in Il word, is just
now adjoining herself, and the rapid growth which
is being obtained as the result of the late COpOus
rains is working extraordinary changes in the APP
pearance of the country from day to day.
The Denton Md Journal says 1t Is Tcduc-
ed to a certainty that the peach crop in this COun-
tv the present season will be AT almost complete
failure We notice however several orchards Dor
dering on the river below are in full bloom, and
promise good crop. Some OF oar largest peach
growers say they will not raise enough for orJina-
nv home consumption
The Cecil Md Wig says: From all we can
learn there will be but few, if any peaches in this
neighborhood, the cold weather in the early part
of the season having entirely killed the buds The
prospect for a fair yield Of other fruit is good.
The adams County Oa.) Eagle says We can not
report favorably in regard to fruit The peach
cTon seems TO have settled down TO 4 regular fail
ure for the last four or five years. and this has
proved no exception.
Apples are more promising, and should they cs-
cane late frosts. we may expect the usual supply.
The Zanesville (OhiO) Courier OF the 18th says
In regard to fruit. we have taken some pains
IN max, in0urv and are satisfied that at this time.
there Is sufciency OF the peach buds alive to give
an abundant crop if not injured hereafter No
other kinds of fruit are feared EoW.

COMPTON OF THE NEGROES IN New loRH.-Ihe
New York Herald publishes a lengthy account OF
the negro population Of that city from which we
conIense the following facts:
The whole number of this class Of persons Is
about IL 900. About one-third of them are paupers
receiving their subsistence from the public and pri
vate charities of the city one-third are engaged at
lUbor from which they are enabled to make bare
living. and the remaining third live from hand to
mouth, by their wits and by thieving and plterIng
in a small way. The whole amount Of taXapla prop
erty in the hands Of the coored population IN the
city is about S3OOOOO, and is owned by about TWEEN
ty persons Their social condition is of the lowest
and most degraded type, being much below that Of
any class in the Union whether bond free. Their
religious culture is sadly deficient, and hence the
proportion of crime among them is very great The
number of arrests for the last year was one in
eleven of the entire colored population But their
crimes are generally Of a petty description They
appear 10 be incapable OF committing Outrages
which require great boldpess or great ingenuity,

At this rate Of growth, in another ten years the
Mississippi Valley viii outvote all other sections of
the Union and since the Northwest grows double
as fast as the Southwest it viii be safe to say that
in another generation the north half Of the Mississ
ippi Valley, from the Alleghanies to the Rocky
Mountains, and from the Red river of the North to
the Mouth of the Ohio loH hare the majority Of Uoes
IN the House Of Representatives,. That region will
then have thirteen States, viz: Ohie Indiana Hi
nois, Michigan Wisconsin Iowa, Minnesota, Missou-
ri, Kansas Nebraska, Dacota, the mining States
Of ColOnna, another to be carved out Of Nebraska,
and probably another from DacOta The growth of
the Pacific States will not prevent the result The
slope Of the Pacific is narrow, and has very
few agricultural advantages. The mines are not
superior to those Of the Park, south Of Mountain
City in the mining territory. Indeed, the last
will probably be the most populOus mining State of
the Union and as the mountain mines are developed
and the miners must be ted-the factories, towns
and cities on the Missouri Mississippi and Ohio will
increase, and command the various and immense
trade which will result from the existence and civ
iliation Of twenty millions Of people in the Upper
Valley We need not, however, speculate on the fu-
ture. The laws which produce such events are
fixed and the growth Of that great fertile and pros
porous region viii n increased rapidity,
as certainly as the floods Of the Mississippi are
borne to the Gulf.
The Times argues that because the plantation
States are necessarily sparse in their population
owing to the sod being cultivated by slaves and fur
ther because they afford no resources for factories
and no encouragement for the building up of large
cities mainly incident to extensive manufacturing
communities, their growth of population is COM
paratvey slow and their political weight relatively
declining These are facts the force of which every
observant man must appreciate. We must become
a manufacturing as well as a producing people, if
we desire to hold anything like equality in the
Union.
We find that in 1900 the free States had more
Representatives, but in 1860 no less than 81 more
than the slave States In the presidential election
Of 1864 the free States will cast l9G votes to the
slave States lO4 With such preponderance. it is
easy toforesee the position the South would occupy
in the Union but for the conservative element at the
North which respects our rights.
