PEACE PROSPECTS IN THE NoRTH-A letter
from New Jersey, March %, written to gentle
man in Charleston S. G., saws:
"At present all eyes are turned to the good old
Southern city, which is menaccd by so formidable
land and naval force. No doubt YOU are all pre-
pared for the conflict, and will win signal victo-
ry, or perish in the defence of your city.
"There are thousands of Peace men all through
the North. The opinion is beginning to prevail
very generally that the South cannot be conquer
ed; but the politicians, both amongst the Demo
Gratis and Republicans, will urge on the war; You
need expect no quarters from any of the leading
men; Nine tenths of the North, of all parties,
would be willing to terminate the war and give
sne South the Crittenden Compromise, or euen
""'e 10 restore the Union; but as ye. the majority
are opposed to recognizing the Southern Confed-
efacy' A Union defeat at Charleston and on the
MISSISSIPPI may bring about quite change"

Mail Robbery and Arrest.

An important arrest was made yesterday in Jersey
City, under charge Of mail robbery The Of the
party arrested is Patrick Bophy well known that and
this city as oneof the Oldest mail messengers Ia the
vice OF the department having been employed 10 that
capacity ieg more Aap fifteen years HIS duties were 10
convey all the Jersey City mails between the two ces
and between the former Office and the different railroad
depots. He also assisted in the Post oce when 9TH
erwse engaged.
For year more, understand, there have been
strong indications OF something wrong IN and about The
Jersey City Post Office. Not only have many valuable
letters belonging TO that Office mysterousy disappeared
but others, which in due course should have passed
through II from Hudson city, West Hoboken
and other places, have occasionally shared the
same fate. Brophy, we learn, has been at times
euspected-perhaps more strongly than any one else
but his peculiar facilities and position enabled him
TO evade detection " In reality supposed he

and annoying REGULATIONS. Recently proofs strongly
pointing In the same direction have 10 light, aud
renewed Efforts haze been made 70 detect him by Mr..

PALMYRA MINING DIsrRIcT.-This dis
trict, which has been long overl ,oked by
our miners and capitalists, is now worthy
of their consideration. A little, over
year ago work was commenced on several
Lodges there with the determination of
thoroughly prospecting them, and the re-
suit is, that large number of lodges have
been struck and opened which assay well
in silver and gold. Belonging to this
class we would mention the Rea del
Monta, Orizaba, Vera Cruz, Monte Chris
to and Ell Dorado. There are a great
many others which have proven good,
but the names have escaped our memory.
The adjacent hills are covered with very
heavy growth of nut pine, and wood is
delivered to any part of the mines at four
dollars per cord. A gentleman by the
name of Mette has taken advantage of
this state of facts, and commenced the
construction of fine ten-stamp mill,
which is under contract to be completed
by the first of December. Connected
with it will be light three-stamp bat
terry, which will be used soley for pros
pecting purposes. The amalsamating
machinery used will be Wheeler's pans
and concentrators, which have been found
to be the best adapted for working such
ores as occur in that vicinity. Mr.. Mette
deserves much credit for the enterprising
spirit he has displayed-and we hope
soon to be able to give our readers an
account of the yield of the Palmyra ores
in his mill.

The CHAPMAN PIRATEs.-Thc result OF
the trial of these men, has created no or
binary sensation on the Pacific coast, and
will doubtless have salutary effect in
detcrring other like enterprises. The fol-
lowing is Judge Fields charge to the
jury. After reviewing the Acts of Con-
gress to suppress instruction, Judge
Field said:
sit iS'not, however, necessary that I
should so into any close definition of the
terms 'levying war; for it is not sought
to apply them to any doubtful case. War
has been levied against the United States.
A war of gigantic proportions is now
wagcd against them, and the Government
is struggling with it for life. War levied,
all who aid in its prosecution, whether by
open hostilihes in the field or by perform
ing any part in the furtherance of the
common object, however minute or how
ever remote from the scene of action, are
equally guilty of treason within the con-
stitutional provision. In treason there
are no accessories. All who engage in the
rebellion at any stage of its existence, or
who designedly give to it any species of
aid and comfort, in whatever part of the
country, may be said to stand on the same
platform. They are all principals in the
commission of the crime. They are all
levying war against the United States.
This indictment was under the second
section of the Act, which declares that if
any person shall hereafter incite, set on
foot, assist Or engage in any rebellion or
instruction against the authority of the
United States or the laws thereof, or shall
give aid or comfort thereto, or shall en-
gage in or give aid and comfort to any
such existing rebellion or instruction,
and be convicted thereof, such person
shall be punished by Imprisonment for
period not exceeding ten years or by fine
not exceeding ten thousand dollars, and
by the liberation of all his slaves if any
he have, or by both said punishments at
the discretion of the Court" The Judge
said, GAS to the reasonable purposes of
the defendants there is no conflict in the
evidence. 1t is true the principal wit
nesses of the Government are, according
to their own statements, co-conspirators
with the defendants-are equally involved
in guilt with them, if guilt there be in any
of them. But their testimony, as you
have seen, has been corroborated in many
of its essential detail. You are, however,
the exclusive judges of its credibility.
The Court will only say to you, that
there is no law which excludes the testi-
mony Of Ill accomplice or prevents you

Progress of the Fair.

Our first Fair, now being held at Car
son, is proving to be grand success.
Everything pertaining to the different de-
partments on exhibition at the Pavilion, as
far as arranged make fine display and
show, especially, a mach better class Of
agricultural productions than it was
thought by many that the country was
capable of yielding. The mechanical
specimens are also numerous, represent
ing the various trades and professions and
are compared favorably with anything of
the kind exhibited before. The fine arts
have their places among the other curios-
tiles and are entitled to the highest reward
of merit for their handsome design and
admirable execution. SO far, it may with
truth be said that the first Fair promises
all that could have been anticipated by
the managers and we have no doubt will
form happy precedent another year for
a repetition of the same affair, when those
who wanted confidence in its success at
the present time, will be inspired to
greater efforts.
WAGON SMAsuFD.-As ar oX-team,
heavily loaded with lumber, was making
the tour from Taylor into B street, Viz
ginia yesterday, the team became unnan-
ageable and cramped the wagon so much
as to demolish one of the tore-wheels
completely.
