re- The overland mail from California brings
two important items of news first, the settle
ment of the dispute-between China and England;
by the Chinese acceding to all the demands
made upon them, and second, the reported death
by assassination of the Tycoon, or temporal En-
peror of Japan. 1t will be recollected that when
the coming of the present Embassy was first
suggested strong party was reported to exist
in Japan opposed to this and all other inter
course with the outer world This party have
now obtained power through the assassination
of the Emperor and the Inauguration of dy-
nasty in favor of their old system of seclusion
Another party, in favor of the new order of
things, was also in the field and an instruction
momentarily expected. The news must natur-
ally be unpleasant and EN- barrassng to the En-
bassy, and may interfere with their present
movements here as well as render a return to
their country dangerous. If the anti-intercourse
party should finally establish their power, all
the two sworded dignitares Of the Embassy
even down to innocent and vivacious little Tom
my, may be required to disembowel themselves
as an expiration for having left the empire and
become dishonored by intercourse with the out
side barbarians. The news has properly been
withheld from the Embassy until some further
confirmation of its truth is obtained, and the
members Of the Naval Commission express some
doubts as to its entire correctness. -Boltinaofe

Two PROMINENT CITIZENS KILLED.-A very
sad and heart-rending rencontre occurred at
Warrenton on Monday night between Drs Sci
ser and Bell and Col. VIM. DeGrfin, gentlemen
of high standing and we'll known in this COM
munity, which resulted in the death of Dr.
Se!ser and Col. DeGriffin. 1t seems that DR..
Bell had been visiting DR.. Scissors house quite
often of late, and that his visits became very
disagreeable to DR.. Scissors sister. She reques-
ted him to inform DR.. Bell that his visits were
not agreeable, and for him to discontinue them,
which DR.. Selser did by note. Dr. Bell, in re-
ply, sent very insulting note and did not dis
continue his visits Dr. Sclser did not meet
Bell again, however, until Monday night, when
they met near the show-boat Banjo, where Dr.
Selser took occasion to demand an explanation.
Dr., Bell Immediately drew a knife and inflicted
two wounds on DR.. Selser-one in the wrist and
the other in the neck-severing several of the
arteries. from which he Immediately died. COL
DeGrifith stepped up and caught Bell by the
shoulder for the purpose Of separating them, it
is supposed, when Bell stabbed him three times
twice in the arm and once in the right breast
the latter of which entered the lung. Col. De-
Griffin fingered until about three o'clock the
next afternoon, when he expired DR.. Bell was
arrested by the citizens of Warrenton, and held
in custody until yesterday, when the Sheriff
went down and brought him up to this city,
where he was lodged in jail Vicksburg Wing

own one farthing in Canton, or any real estate
in or around Baltimore, and besides this. what

the Commissioners. 1t is source of gratifica-

have not doubt, that you are finally in coven-
ton for the purpose of obtaining a full and fair
expression of public sentiment and opinion,
upon question of such magnitude and respon-

ests. The Commissioners intended to suggest a
meeting of the Planters for the same purpose
for some time past through the columns of the
county papers. | earnestly hope that the mea-
sure before you, will be considered dispassion
ately. in all its bearings and believing with tie
other Commissioners if carried out, it will secure
numerous and important advantages to the To-
bacco interest, am sure the other Commission
ers as well as myself, would be glad to see the
law receive the sanction of your appreciation
but if the Tobacco Planters of Maryland in con-
vention, or any other public manner think pro-
per to come to counter determination about
the matter, feel warranted in the belief that
the other Commissioners would willingly abide
the result, and thus be saved much responsible
ty and labor; for myself I say now as I have
always said that l am determined to be govern
ed entirely by the wishes of the Planters.

Mr.. Crittenden,s peclination.

At the festival given in Alexandria on
the goth inst, the rth.day anniversary Of
the immortal Clay, Mr. Crittepdep took
occasion to announce his deeIination in ad-
vance of the Presidential candidacy, in the
following felcitous terms We copy from
the National Intelligeacer.;
"Mr. Crittenden then disclaimed all idea
and all wish for the Presidency, signifying
his preference to retire and rest after a
long period Of public service. He did not
understand the station, whatever he might
think of some who held it. He had no
hope he could have it if he wanted it, and
does not want it If he could have it. He
said this ont of no mock modesty; he had
always said it. For himself, he had served
out his time, and it was time to retire
Mr.. Clay, however, was man fit for the
Presidency, and he was lsng anxious to
see him President. All we want now, is
q proper sort of Chief Magistrate. Not q
man of vacillation, but man Of strong
and good heart, who could sit here joyously
among his fellow citizens tonight, and to.
morrow go with firm and iron hand and
make strict execution Of his duty, and 0
man who could not do that should give
place to stouter and better man. 1t was
Jackson s. force Of character that gave him
his popularity. A proper President must
have physical as we'll as moral courage
so as to meet man who should come from
the North or South with threats upan his
tongue and say to him, " Sir, am Presi.
dent" A man who has net the heart to
do this is not fit for the place. If the least
fracture or crevice be in him his weakness
will be sure to be found out. His admin
stration will be made to bend But, on
the other hand, if he be brave, and firm
and honest, the Union will be safe. / am
said Mr.. Crittcnden. no candidate for the
Presidency"

John Bell in Arkansas.

Alta meeting of the Opposition of Ouch
ita county, Ark, on the 2Sth ult, John
BELL, the distinguished National Statesman
of Tennessee, was recommended for the
Presidency. The following brief, well ex-
pressed and comprehensive resolutions
were adopted:
Resolped, That, as Southrons and friends of the
Constitutional Union of the States Of this confede-
racy we cannot consistently, support, for the Chie
Magstracy of the Nation, either--a champion Of
the "higher law !" believer in the "irrepressibls
conflicts of free and slave lahors disunionist per
Sc an advocate of "squatter r.ignty;" or, one
opposed to the removal of all ob,tales which i'm
pede the due and faithful execution of the provisions
Of the law for the rendition of fagitive slaves"
Resolved, That we deem il the duty of our Ma
tonal Convention to pursue such policy shall ap-
pear most likely to emancipate our common country
from msrule on the one hand and lawess agitation
on the other, and thus, if possible, restore the gov
ernment to its original purity and simplicity.
Resolved That we have abiding confidence in the
honesty, integrity and patriotism of Hon. John Bell
of Tennessee, and would hail his nomination for the
Presidency by our National Convention, with un-
feigned delight

How TO KEEP FUns.-As the season Is at hand
when the ladies win be putting of their furs We
give them the following recipe for their preservation
which we find in an exchange
A few days moro and furs will be superiuous.
Then comes the process ofSo putting them away
that the moths may not invade them. The same
thing is necessary to protect wooens the moth be-
ing no respecter Of anything in the line. The best
way to secure immunity from destruction Is 10 pack
all an box or trunk lined with Brown Holland,
first sprinkling them literally with brown pepper.
This is better than camphor for fur dealers are
often vicmzed by chronological pests though their
goods are saturated with this powerful odor. Be-
fore packing away furs they should be well beaten
to dislodge any Larvae that despite the most scrr-
puous care, may be deposited in them. The mpe-
riorty of the pepper TO camphoras preseryative 10
furs consists in the fact that while larve will ncu.
bate among camphor, there Is something IN tho
aroma Of pepper which destroys them in embryo.
