THE PRINCE OF WALES VISIT.
The following is the correspondence
between the President and Queen Victo-
ria, relative to the visit of the Prince of
Wales:
To HER MAJESTY QUEEN VICTORIA:
I have learned from the public journals
that the Prince of Wales is about to visit
your Majesty's North American domin-
ions. Should it be the intention of his
ROYAL Highness to extend his visit to
the United States, need not say how
happy I should be to give him cordial
welcome to Washington. You may be
assured that everywhere, in this country,
he will be greeted by the American peo-
pie in such a manner as cannot fail to
prove gratifying to your Majesty.
In this they will manifest their deep
sense of your domestic virtues, as we'll
as their conviction of your merits as a
wise, patriotic and constitutional sover-
eign. -.-.a
Your Majesty's obedient servant,
JAMES BUCHANAN.
Washington, May 4, 1860.
The following is the Queens reply:
BUCKINGHAM PALACE, June 22, 1860.
MY GOOD FRIEND: | have been
much gratifed at the feelings which
prompted you to write me, inviting the
Prince of Wales to visit Washington
He intends to return from Canada
through the United States, and it will
give him great pleasure to have an op
portunity to testify to you in person that
these feelings are fully reciprocated by
him.
He will thus be able at the same time
to mark the respect that he entertains
for the Chief Magistrate of great and
friendly State and kindred nation.
The Prince of Wales will drop all
royal state on leaving my dominions,
and will travel under the name of Lord
Renfrew, as he has done while travelling
on the Continent of Europe.
The Prince Consort wishes to be
kindly remembered to you.
remain ever
Your good friend,
VICTORIA r.

man. to "his lordship." ....
If these things were not so, the con-
duct of many of our people would be
past all belief. Some century or two
ago, some other "fillibusters" went to
Africa, and, setting the towns on fire,
seized upon the frightened inhabitants
and shipping them to this country, sold
them as slaves. And although the self
evident truths Of human rights and a
Democratic Government have been here
proclaimed for three generations; and al
though education has become widely diff
fused, and the right of men to think for
themselves secured by constitutions and
laws, yet we find, even here, men who
have inherited the same spirit Of servil-
ity, with apparentalacrity abasing them
selves before these "fllibusters," and
counting it an honor to be permitted to
be their funkies. In no other way can
we account for the strange fact that so
many are ready to ignore their own man
hood, sink voluntarily into self abase-
ment SO profound, that they glory in
their shame, and know it not.
This is no very fattering picture of
human nature, we admit, but it must be
confessed to be true one. Shall we
then despair of human progress and the
final elevation Of the race to that degree
of perfection of which it is evidently
susceptible? Not at all. The work is
a slow one, but the progress is sure
The disintegration of parties in this coun-
try, and the revolutions and connections
throughout the world, show that this SER
vile spirit is dying out, and feeling of

Capt Leamun Of this city having obtained
from Hunter a description of the mules in
McCullough's possession, soon oscertained
that they had been stolen from Angels Camp,
Calaveras county, and telegraphed the fact
to the Sheriff Of that county. Hence the
departure Of Deputy Sheriff Thorn to Butte
county, and his bringing the thief back 1t

arrested, for, had no stock been stolen from

THx HARPERs FERRY INvRsrIaATIoN-
According to the New York Herald's WASH
ington correspondent the testimony of Realf,
on Saturday, was as follows:
He testified that Senator Wilson wrote let
ter to DR.. Howe, in 1857 or 1855, stating that he
learned from Mr.. Forbes that Brown was
about to make a raid into some of the South
era States for the purpose of liberating slaves
and that he would use money furnished him
by parties in Massachusetts for his Kansas
work to aid him in his new project; and that
in his (Wilson's) opinion it was madness in
Brown to attempt such thing, and that he
(TIowe) must withdraw all means furnished,
or intended to be furnished, him for services in
Kansas, if they were to be misapplied in the
manner indicated by Forbes.
Realf tes;ifes thai Howe sent ccny of
Wilson's letter TO Brown, informing tn, latter
that the arms and money which had beeu fur
nished him tor The protection Of the settlers Of
Kansas, woutd be Withdrawn in consequence
Of the revelations made by Forbes through
Wilson; that Brown became enraged ana

subsequently passued some rro-xnvery men
