A Bio WIEDFALL-2l4,00 900 TO A CARPENTER
The Springfield (OhiO) NewS tells the following
=" About four months ago there lived in this
city carpenter named Cyrus Holmes, who, Ill
though industrious and honest, was not blessed
with more than moiety Of this worlds goods.
His chief possession beyond his wife, was a
beautiful daughter of about tweuty-One years Of
age, who wrote very good poetry for the news
papers in this region, and who was known as
Miss T., v. Holmes. She wrote for The Wash
iagton Register and The Washington Herald, for
the London papers aud various other journals.
About three months ago, Mr. Holmes left this
city and took up his residence in Plattsburg, in
this county, on the London railroad, where he
has since been working at his trade
"On Friday lasT, the 9th of February, Mr.. H..
c. johnson OF New York city, pleasant-lO looking
gentleman, arrived at Springfield, in search OF
Mr. Holmes, aud has spent the interval between
that time and the present. in making inquiries for
him. This morning, letter was received by
him from Mr.. VIM. Goodfellow of Plattsburg,
stating that Mr.. Holmes was living in that place.
Mr.. johnson goes out this afternoon, in a buggy,
TO take to him the tidings that the late D. r.
Holmes, who lived in Westchester County, New
York, and who was Mr. Cyrus Holiness grea
uncle, left him property valued ut $2l4, 600
OF this, there is land located in that county t
the value oil $780, 900 and the remainder is cash
When Cyrus becomes fully posted as to the de

as the most valuable vessel and cargo ever des

of the Princess Royal is no exaggeration. She
is now unoaded, aud her precious cargo is near

proved more valuable even than at first supposed.
Two spl ndid prOpeling engines; iron armOr
sufficient for two vessels; three Whtw0rth
guns, with lathe Tor turning shot to fit them; a
large quantity of cOncal, steel pointed shot, and
metal TO make more, with an immense lot of
genuine morphine, and kindred expensive chen-
calls, ten md hospital stores, constitute the prin
clpHl items OF the cargo. The loss of this
splendid Clyde-built iron steamer may well
cause chargin to the rebels. Had she gained
her point, and landed her freight upon the quays
OF Charleston, immense aid would have been
rendered to the PARTICLES of the south The
ship is ut Vine street wharf Philadelphia Her
history renders her object of interest that at

viewed her ON Tuesday were Il party of the
guests who on the night previous participated in
the dinner at tho Corn Exchange. Some Of
these gentlemen coming from the interior enjoy
ed their first sight of PRIZE taken from rebel

ping Englishmen lend surreptitious assistance TO
the enemy.
The sale of the steamer takes place on to-
morrow morning at l | o'clock. The steamer is
of iron and furnished with wire rigging She is

purchase the ship.

that New Jersey does not purpose now or here

Having heretofore commended the families Of
our brave volunteers to the care Of the General
Assembly now, in their behalf appeal also to
the people.
Providence has, hitherto, vouchsafed a. mild
winter, thereby greatly preventing the suffering
to which they would otherwise have been sub
iected Much distress has, nevertheless, been
experienced. Every community has its claimants
for relief. Much has been done by tho voluntary
contributions Ct individuals. More remains to
be accomplished.
To this end earnestly urge that more general
and efficient aid may be rendered. invoke not
your charity but your justice. Their husbands
their fathers are in arms for your protection.
They have left their families that you may be
secure in your homes. We're it not for them the
tide Of war would sweep over your property.
Let aid societies be formed in every neighbOr-
hood. Constitute committees of relief in every
vicinity. Search for cases of want aud DO dill
gent in supplying at least the necesaares of life.
DO not trust to this mode alone. Let each per-
son look after the comfort of some one family
small portion from the abundance of all will
be sufficient. In farming community contri-
buttons of money will rarely be necessary. Food
and fuel are chiefly requisite. | entreat your
earnest aud active co operatiOn-your personal
and individual attention.
Especially DO INVOKE the ministers OF religion
to assist 10 this benevolent enterprise Surely
to them an appeal in behalf Of the destitute is
peculiarly appropriate. ask them to stir up

DEPRECIATION OF SLAVE PROPERTY IN MARY
LAND, The appraisers of the properly of the late
Charles Carroll, of this State, one of the largest
slave owners OF Maryland have made their re-
turn to the Orphans Court, assessing the value
of the hundred and thirty slaves at an average OF
only five dollars.
This they say is the highest rate they could
name after consultation with various slave own
ers and dealers.
A slave dealer told the appraiser that he
would not give five hundred dollars for the whole
lot
This is considered striking illustration of the
depreciation of slave property by the rebellio n,
and will have powerful influence in this State.
