GEORGE D. PRENTICE. = The New York
World gives the following information of how
the devil tempted Prentice, of the Louisville
Journal
George d. Prentice has proved himself an
incorruptible patriot Among the many
schemes for carrying Kentucky out of the
Union, was persevering attempt to buy
Prentice, or, failing in that to buy his paper.
He was first approached with the modest Of
fer of S24 900, which was, of course, prompt
ly declined. The anxious buyers, thinking,
perhaps their bid had been below Prentice's
estimate of his honor, increased their offer.
and through an old political friend, since
quartered at Fort Lafayette, he was inform
ed that fifty thousand dollars was in a Louis

all politics, and wanted an influential paper
to support the Pacific Railroad enterprise.
He would give Prentice $3.50, 900 for che

ANTI-SEcEssIoN DocUMENf.-The map Of
the United States is the most unanswerable
,nti-secession document ever published, and
we wonder, says the Toulumne Courier, that
the Rebel Government do not suppress it at
once; for while the people of the Northern
and Western States have their eyes fixed up
on it, it seems impossible that the claims of
the Secessionists can for moment be admit.
ted. The great river Mississippi-which,
with its tributaries, waters three -ffths of
the whole territory of the United States east
of the Rocky Mountains --runs from the
north to the south, and six slave and four
free States are bounded by its banks.
If the Confederacy succeeds, the whole of
the Northwestern States, which will soon
contain a majority of all the population of
the free States, will be entirely cut off from
their great natural channel of communica.

would sell, or the foreign merchandise they
would obtain through that channel, must be
forever subjected to just ST ch impositions as
a foreign power may choose to dictate, or
their transit be interdicted altogether.

An. AvowED DIsUNIoNIsT-A late arrival
from England brings an address from Mrs.
Harriet Beecher Stowe, the authoress of
. Uncle Toms Cabin" to tho Earl of Shafts.
bury, the great patron of American aboli.
tionists. The object of the address is to dep
recate his censure and to assure him that
she and her associates still labor in the cause
OF dissolution and emancipation She says:
" have advocated disunion for fifteen years,
because thought it practical method of
freeing the North of the guilt of slavery,
and of planting at the South the seeds Of
early and entire emancipation, wringing JUS
tice from weak and bankrupt South !"
Those who think that the ultra abolitionists
had no purpose to break up the Union will
find nut to crack in this candid avowal of
Mrs. Stowe.

We have before us manifesto from John C.
Breckenridge (who is now consorting with
JEFF. Davis & Co., at Richmond) 40 the
People of Kentucky" 1t is dated at Bow

General, Buckner), but has no date. Breck-

since h S expulsion from home, that he could
place his feet on the soil of Kentucky. In
it ne resigns his seatas a member of the SEN

Nothing now occurs to add to or subtract

On the whole, the document is singularly
dignihed, plain. and satisfactory one a. it
relates to the rebellion now ia the country.
His views concerning the present Judiciary
system OF the country are worthy of close ex.

message will add nothing to the popularity

II appears 10y our list Of droves that there are

This is 400 cattle and 1887 sheep less than the
number stated last week. My lists are probably
not quito as correct, as to numbers, this week,
as usual, in consequence of the markets being
held one day earlier, and the delay in the arri-
val OF trains,-the Vermont Central, due Tues
day morning, not arriving until about 3 o'clock
P. M. The sales on Tuesday morning com
menced pretty spiritedly, but as all parties began
to look and wait for the arrival of the Central
train, business Stacked up, drovers mounted the
each other, and began to talk about dull mar
ket-many declaring the bids l-4c. per 10. less
than last weeks sales. Some buyers admitted
that they were buying on better terms this week
than they did last, while others, harder to suit
perhaps, commended that there was little differ
ence. The best northern cattle sold for Ia
cents, and very few reached so high figure

sale of 100000 lbs of domestic wool, by Mcssrs
Bingham, Joy & Sanford, ON Tuesday, was
largely attended by manufacturers and dealers
from all sections Of the country. Every lot on
the catalogue was disposed of, and the prices re-
allied did not vary materially from the current
rates obtained at private sale for some weeks
past. The desirable lots of wool, including the
medium and lower grades, were disposed of
readily at very fun prices, but fine woods scarcely
came up to expectation. The demand, howey-
er, for some time past, has been almost eXclu-
sively confined to the lower grades, and con-
siderable wool has been sold without assortment,
SO that, before the sale, fine woods merely had
nominal value. The auction sale OF domestic
wool attracted more particularly the attention Of
the trade, and in consequence the private tran
sactions are not so large, comprising 100000 lbs.
at 46 and 50 IL cents for fleece, and As and So
cents for number one and extra pulled.
