YANcEY's MURDER OF Hrs UNCLE.
The Knoxville (Tenn.) Khig gives
the. following incident in the life Of VIM.
L. Yancey:
The fact that Wm. L. Yancey killed
his uncle, DIR. Earle, Of South Carolina,
has been stated in general terms, but the
details have not been given. DR.. Earle
lived one mile and a half west Of Green
vile, where his widow still resides II
alive. A few hundred yards distance is
an old field, sometimes used for praetic-
ing on horseback, but more frequently re-
sorted to as a muster-ground. This was
the occasion of a drill muster, when DIR.
Earle's son, about ten years old, went to
the ground, as all boys seek to do, and
during their wheeling and turning, the
boy got in the way. Yancey ordered
him 10 get out Of the way, but the boy
in his confusion got more and more if
the way, whereupoD Yancey lashed hin
most numerically with horse-whip
DIR. Earle was not at home, bat on re.
turning home through town friend told
him how Yancey had treated bis son
Yancey told him that the boy had beel
very insolent, and that he had slapped hi
jaws. Dr. Earl replied that he served hiu
right. When DIR. Earle reached homl
and learned the facts, and found tha

r Greenville in search Of him. Vance,
knowing the pluck Of DR.. Earle, an
that he would be detected in the falls

indicative Of moral luxury, merciless

Some treasures are heavy with human

The Crops Of 1860

There can be no solid and enduring
basis Of national greatness which is not
founded upon the harmonious develop.
meut Of variety OF industrial espaci-
ties, and upon the abili,y to produce
large quantities of the important sgricoi-
tural staples, as well as io manufacture
everything which Is necessary for the
weIl-being Of It's inhabitants. 4 nation
should always be able to sustain is pep
ulation BY its own Inherent resources,
independent of any productions ], may
receive or any pecuniary advantages i
may derive from is foreign commerce,
50 that in all national emergencies it may
be entirely self-susiainiug.
We are glad to find such a sensible
paragraph in the United States Beoao-
mist in few words it covers the whole
protective principle, and II our govern
ment win adopt and act up 10 it we shall
soon be in the position which this ooun-
try has never yet attained, and which is
so important TO permanent prosperity,
namely" always able to sustain its pop
ulation by its own inherent resources, SO
that in all national emergencies ii may
be entirely self-snstaining. But we
are not now going to discuss principles.

MArR1MoNIAL.-Miss Ella Roberta Stevens heircss
to the princely estate Of the Uoboken Land and
Improvement Company, estimated to be worth about
three millions, was, on Thursday evening last, mar
ried to the Hon. Muscoe Rober: Hunter Garnctt,
member of Congress from Virginia. The Right Rev.
the Bishop of New Jersey, DR.. Odenheimer, assist
ed by the Rev. V. Bruce, Rector of St. Pauls
Church, Hoboken, solcmnized the rites of marriage
The bride is said to be small in statue but remark
ably beautiful. The groom, as is well known in
Virginia, can lay no claim to good looks but is very
talented H, is nephew of the Hon. r. NJ. L.
Hunter, of the United States Senate
We wonder what assistance the Rev. V. Bruce
rendered. In North Carolina one minister is suti
cient to unite couple in marriage, and he per.
form bis duty without fatigue We presume the
"three millions" was too much for the good Bishop
to bear alone. "three thousand" couple would
hardly have found Bishop anda Prcsbyter willing
to unite in uniting them.

AN Ex-Governor OF MARYLAND IN HIS HERAI-
TAGE.-Iatrusion Of Artists-The old Lion Arous-
ed &c-The Wheeling CVa.) Intelligencer gives the
following account of the recent visit Of Balti-
more artists to the retreat of Ex-Governor Philip
Thomas, of Maryland in his hermit retreat among
the Alleghanies:
Not far from Oakland, on the line of the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad, there lives an old gentle
man by the name of Thomas, who we learn, was at
one time Governor of Maryland and quite wealthy.
For many years he has manifested symptoms of in
sanity; his wealth was wasted, and he was neglect
ed and allowed to go down in the world He now
lives in miserable log hut with no companion but
an aged negro There is no habtaton near, and he
scarcely ever has a visitor or Sees white mans
face A couple of artists from Baltimore, who were
sketcng along the line of the road, concluded, the
other day, to 90 down from Oakland and pay the
old hermit visit and take few sketches Of his
premises. They were kindly received at first and
their sketches seemed to please the old man, until
he became aware that it was the intention of the
artists to publish them with accompanying descrp-
tons, and thus drag him again before the public
Learning this, he Immediately ordered the artists
out of the house. They did not go upon the instant
and the hermit got down his gun, swearing that if
they did not leave he would shoot them. The
artists, of course left in hurry, came up to Oak
land, and told the story.
