SOME Canadian negroes went over to
Rochester a short time since and went to
the theater. Under the mistaken idea that
they were members of a party Of wealthy
Cubans stopping at one Of the hotels, they
were given tirst.rate seats in the dress
circle. Great was the CONSERVATION when
it was found, the next day, that they were
"only niggers."

KIxe AND QuEES.-The Gold Hill
News says, if we claim the title of Queen
City of the silver mines, that Gold Hill is
the King. Good for Gold Hill. 1t is
said in England that the mines Of that
city, Sierra Buttes, etc.. are near Reese
River. and it is good that the King and
Queen should be near together; but we
think the Queen will be the most fruitful.

A New EXPLOSIVE PowDER.-A Prus-
sian, named Reichen, has invented a sub
stitute for gunpowder, which bids fair to
create a revolution as well in the pleas mt
and peaceful pursuit Of field sports as in
artillery practice. He is at present in
Quebec, where has been placed at his dis
posal the laboratory of the arsenal, in or
der to experiment and to manufacture the
new ammunition. The invention consists
in the substitution for powder Of a certain
kind of paper, which is not explosive until
dipped in some solution. The new ma
terial can. therefore, be transported with.
out danger. It is lighter than powder.
being only seyen-tenths of the weight. Its
power is grcater, and it is less perishable
article. Experiments made in Quebec in
the presence of officers, with Enfield rifles,
have proved highly satisfactory. With
half the charge the ball penetrated deeper
than when propelled with powder, and
the CUR was scarcely fouled at all. In
connection with this statement We find the
following similar one in an English paper.
"A new gunpowder is said to have been
invented By a German named Ehrhardt.
It claims to be three times as explosive,
and yet n e.half cheaper than that now in
use, leaving, moreover, no residuum. II
can also be kept safely in magazines, its
two component parts (resin and chlora'e
potash) bring i~ncombustible when sep
arate."-Ind. Gazette.
This new explosive agent appears to be
very similar to the gun. Cotton which is
being introduced with success into the
mines of California. It has this peculiarly
however, that it can be made to order and
in such quantities as desired when re-
quired, the componen,s remaining HARM
less and uncomfortable until combined.
1t bids as fair to come into use in the
mining regions Of this coast as in Artillery
practice. ~ 81

Commenting on this, the London Star
Of August 23d says there is, in interna-
tional law. not one shadow Of authority to
support the idea that the rightful Govern
ment is bound to assume the debts con-
tracted TO aid in It's own destruction. The
doctrine is so manifestly absurd that it
only requires to be stated to be known.

holders are not debtors of the late South
ern governmental they were they might
perhaps find some theory of law which
would absolve them from the disagreeable
duty of paying. They are unfortunately
creditors. Their debtor has disappeared,
leaving US effects which are not claimed
by creditors. Having the preference, the
United States Government claims all cot
ton, ships, money and stores Of the Con-
fenderacy in neutral countries, as well as
in the South. The Stonewall has already
been given up to them BY Spain ; the
Shenandoah will be given up BY any
country in whose harbors she seeks refuge.
They claim all cotton and funds Of the
Confederate government now in this Dun

court of law in England the Judges can
no, look favorsbly on the claims Of the

entered into in c%ontravention Of the

says the amount of property DESTROYED is
enormous. The enemy attempted to pre-

bridge, and about thirty men dashed
across on foot, driving off the enemy and

Panic In The Gold Market.
New YORK, March 10.


During the last three days there has
been much excitement in comEcrcal cir
cles. the panic in gold was caused by
favorable military news and by the news
of the reception in Europe of the an
nouncement OF the capture of Charleston
and Columbia.
The sale of 5-2O's in England and
Germany has been very great, and turned
exchange in favor of America.
The steamship Africa brought SIS,
900 in specie, and the steamers following
her are expected to bring large amounts.
Many parties who have been specula-
ting for a rise are ruined. and with them
several dealers in produce. The shrink
age in prices of all kinds of produce and
merchandise has been very great. Sew
eral dry goods houses have reduced their
prices twenty per cent, and Others offer
TO put their figures on a gold basis and
demand payment in coin or It's cquiva-
lent The decline has been heavy, and
the whole market is in an unsettled con-
dition. No one wants to sell at reduced
rates, and buyers are holding off for "a
still greater fall. There was less distrust
of railway stocks than anything else offered
on Wall street, and prices remained firm
er than in gold and other securities.
Some parties predict many failures among
commercial men in consequence of the
rapid decline IN values.
Petroleum stocks have been quite firm
during the last few days. Reports of "A
heavy demand at Oil City caused a dis
