The REBEL AND THE PRINcE.-Wben the
old rebel of '76, Ralph Farnham the last
survivor of Bunker Hill was introduced to
the Prince of Wales, at Boston, the other
day, the great grandson of the sovereign
against whom he fought received him with
much kindness and some curiosity. The
old man was so well pleased with bis man.
ner that he shrewdly remarked. "If princes
were alwaysto treat body SO, there would
be less wars" A very truthful obserya-
ton that of the old rebel; and perhaps he
thought at the time that if George the Third
had treated the colonists with less Injustice
there might have been two bloody wars and
two magnificent victories the less. But we
might add that if princes Travelled more and
saw more of the people it might have the
same effect in repressing the spirit of inter-
national conflict. Wars it is said. are wag-
ed to keep the princes on their thrones. TO
maintain or create dynasties is the object
of almost every war and if the rulers and
people of different nations understood each
other better, there would be less necessity
for sanguinary and devastating conflicts.
The Prince of Wales now enjoys an advan.
tage over any of bis predecessors in this re-
spect, and we have no doubt that the result
will be manifested in the future policy of
England, should he ever come to the throne.
If it is not, his travels will have produced
very little fruit.-[N. Y. Herald.

SILVER ORE.-One tun of silver ore, from
the Esmeralda mines, was brought to Sac
ramento last Wednesday, to be forwarded
to San Francisco for assay. 1t was sacked
in different packages, and marked Ante
lope," "Garibaldi," and "Silver MIL" the
names Of the several leads from which it
was taken. Those persons interested in
these mines, says the Sacramento News, and
who have forwarded this tun of ore for
smelling and assay, are very confident that
it is the richest ever from the Washoe or
contiguous country. If an assay does not
disappoint the expectations of these pio-
neers in these newly discovered mines, q
large and extensive country lies open and
inviting to the miner and laborer, and no
doubt very large emigration will set that
way next spring. The value and richness
of this special lot of ore will be looked for
with interest from all parts of the State.

A murderer Becoming his own Accuscr.
A man named Samuel Stanley arrived at
ST. Paul, Minnesota, a few weeks ago, from
Red River country, and Informed the
Sheriff of the county that he had committed
murder in Virginia some years ago. on
the person of Mr.. Peyton, of Cabel county
that bis conscience gave him no peace, and
that he wished TO be taken to Virginia for
trial. The editor of the st. Paul Pioneer
had an interview with the man, and learn.
ed the following particulars of bis life:
BY the favor of the Sheriff, we had an in
terview with the prisoner yesterday. He
is about five feet eight inches in height.
weighs about one hundred and forty pounds
dark sallow complexion, black eyes, and
black whskers and moustache and is dress
ed like lumberman. He said his name
was Samuel Stanley, and that he is charged
with numbering a Mr.. Peyton, in Cabel
county Virginia. He tactly confessed the
homicide in stating that it was caused by
his having discovered Peyton in criminal
connection with his wife and by saving that
he did not think his punishment wonld OK.
ceed a short term of Imprisonment In the
penltentiary. He declined to give us any
particulars of the affair. He stated that he
had worked on the Black and Chippewa
rivers in Wisconsin, and had been in Min.
nesota three years although he was a ma.
tive of Ohio and had a residence where the
murder took place. He had worked in
Lover Sauk Rapids on the Red River Mt
Pembina and in many other places. With.
out manifesting much contrition for the
crime or fear of punishment he imagined
wherever he lived that everybody looked
upon him as murderer. The elements
even whispered il in his ears when he had
abandoned the society of men and lived
alone in the depths of the forest. Conse.
quently he had no abiding place for six
years but has roamed through the country
from Texas to Minnesota suffering as he
says, "more than hundred deaths.n At
last almost worn out he came to the con-
cluson to deliver himself up that after the
sentence OF the law had been executed he
might again live among his friends or make
nome where he would be undisturbed by
its terrors.
The tale of his wanderings is strange and
lnterestlng-sO strange that it occurred TO
us that his mind was not sound Int we
could detect no evidence of mental aberra.
ton, and nothing 10 his conduct that could
not be reconcied in view of the awful
crime he had committed

HORRIBLE SUFFERING AMONG IMMIGRANTS
An express arrived at Fort Walla Walla,
on the Columbia river, Nov. Sd, from the
command of Capt. Dent, who was ordered
out on the emigrant road, in the vicinity of
Fort Boise, TO investigate the report of the
massacre of the immigrants. Some twelve
dead bodies were found, and ten or twelve
immigrants still alive, subsisting upon the
dead bodies of their associates. These were
found secreted, in parties Of three or four,
for the distance of twelve miles in the vi
entity of the attack. Mr.. Myers and his
brothers wife, Mrs. Myers and five chill
dren, and Miss Trimball, were among the
living. Seme had died from actual starva-
ton. A correspondent OF the Portland Ad-
vertiser, writing from the Dalles, Nov. 5th,
gives the following horrible details:
They were entirely nude, having been
stripped of every particle of clothing by
the Indians, and when found were subsist-
ing upon the dead bodies of those who had
either been killed by the Indians, or died
from starvation. When found they were
unable to give any account, more than
blank mutteriug, aad starvation had made
such havoc that the sad spectacle drew tears
from the rough but plying eyes of the sol
diers. The rescued were, four men, two
women and six children-twelve ia all.
Famine and exposure hsd reduced them TO
skeletons; some of them were unable to
stand, whether overjoyed at relief, or the
agonies of their former sufferings Overcame
them, know not, but the entire party were
raving mad, and as yet can give no account
of the rest who composed the train; perhaps
other parties are also in the same condition.
The work Of rescue, however, goes on; ev-
crything is done TO soothe and save. Cap
tain Dent is nobly doing everything that
can be done. The rescued may be ia at
Walla Walla on or about the 10th. Every
means will be employed to discover if any
more are to be found. 1t would seem that
robbery alone prompted the Indians; if 80,
we may yet recover others, who are scatter
ing, perhaps. We will have some explana-
nation from those in high command, in ref
erence TO Major Greer and his expedition.
Let every one have his just reward. 1t is
evident something was wrong, or Captain
Dent would not be sent out at this late day
in the very face Of winter.

DEATH OF Con-. SKINNER.-Commodore
Charles NJ. Skinner, who for nearly fifty
years had been attached to the United States
Navy, died at Richmond, Va, on the 18th
of October. He entered the service in 1909
as a midshipman, and served in various ca
pacities until 1855, when he was placed up
on the retired list. About thirty.six years
Of his life we're passed on shore or unem-
ployed. His sea duty extended over but
fourteen yeaIs. The principal command in
which he was placed was in relieving Com
modore Perry on the African squadron.

up tive millions OF colored laborers in
the South, and at the point of the sword
and bayonet to drive them from this
country? For they are race that cling
to MS, and have got to be driven away, if
they must 90. They are parasitic race,
who cling with conscious dependence to
the whites. Beyond all that they are
attached to the country. 1t is their
home. They know well that they are
better off here, even as slavcs-nay, that
they are better off because they are slaves
than they ever were in Africa, or ever
would be in Jamaica or Hayti. They
know it well, aud they will not GO Else,
why don't they go? Why don't those
blacks who are parading the countay,
making speeches, 90 to Jamaica and be-
come members of the Legislature, (augh-
teri or to Hayti, and become dukes,
counts and emperors? (Rencwed laugh
ter.) Why do they stay here, unless, as
| say, they know they are better off here
than anywhere else? ! beg you to re-
member, gentlemen, how our Republican
friends, in their transcendenial human
ity, have howled over the fact that two
or three hundred blacks have been driven
out of Louisiana and Arkansas during
the last year Horrid cruelty to two or
three hundred beings! And yet they
themselves propose to expel five millions,
through all sorts of sufferings; that is, as
many of them as shall escape death at
the point of the bayonet and mouth Of
the cannon, or starvation in the woods,
or sitting in the middle passage. That,
forsooth, is to be the remedy. The rem
nant Of these are to be landed on the
shores of Africa, there to relapse into
primitive barbarism, as their race always
has done, except handful Of thousand
who have been colonized in Africa under
favorable circumstances and special care.

RoUGH DESCRIPTION or MINNESOTA
An attorney in Minnesota, who had re-
ceived from another State an account for
collection, after acknowledging the re-
ceipt of the letter Of instructions, replied
as follows:
"Now, / am perfectly astonished at
you for sending claim out here for col
lection in these times. You might as
well cast your net into the "Lake of Fire
and Birthstone" expecting to catch a
sunfsh, or into the celebrated Stygian
pool to catch picked trout, as to try to
collect money here. Money! have a
faint recollection of having seen it when
| was a small boy. Ibelicve it was given
me by my uncle, to buy candy WITH
(The candy I do remcmber) But it has
been so long since l have seen any, that
/ almost forget whether gold is made of
corn or mustard, or silver Of white onions
or fish scales. Why, sir, we live without
money. You're behind the times. 1t is
a relic of barbarism-of ayes past. We
live by eating, sir, we do. Hoot, mani
the millennium is coming, the year of
jubilee has come, and all debts are paid
here as they will be, unless you take pro.
juce.' The word money is not in our
vocabulary; in the latest Webster treviscd
for this mcridian) it is marked 'obsolete,
formerly coin representing money, and
used as medium Of commerce" A few
small pieces can be seen in our Historical
Society's collections, along with the skel
eton Of the "nlastadon," Noah's old boots
and Adams apple.
