The threatening mud tumuluous scenes which,

with the heavenly cauticle Of peace aud Joy sung
by the angels Of God, to Introduce into tho world
the Prince Of Peace. We nro compelled to turn
our eyes from the contemplation of difficulties

anu security are menaced by the startling events
around us. Our beloved country is deeply

ANOTHER MISUNDERSTANDING" -PRonAuLy
FALSE DEAL We learn that Col Richard
France, proprietor Vi the otltry grant passed mt
the last session Of oar Legislature, was arrested
in Wilmington On Wednesday night last by
constable Hawkins, ut the instigation Of (eorge
man OF Richmond, Va. The particulars of the
case as we learn them are to the effect that ,pbe
gentleman from Richmond some time since
purchased a ticket OF Col. Frances agent in that

he presented the ticket for payment, the agent
offered him some ten or twelve thousand dollars
in Virginia Bonds, or something of that kind,
for it, which he refused TO accept. The agent
tneu telegraphed Col, France to know if he
would pay the prize, Mr. +. answered yes, but
not until the forty days were out-tho time
specified in the schemes Tor the payment of
prizes drawn. At the expiration Of the forty |
days, the holder of the ticket charges they re. |

by some hocus pocus arrangement and excuses
to keep him out Of the money altogether, and on
these grounds brings suit to recover tho amount.
On the other hand, we understand, it is alleged
by the lottery firm that he did not come in nos
session Of the ticket in a proper manner, &C.
Col. France was held in the sum of $50, 900 for
for his appearance. DR.. Baker, of Wilminrton
