HORSE THIEVES ARREsTED.-Somc days
ago the police of this city received dis
patch from Richmond describing mule
which had been stolen from lady in Man
chester, and notifying them that the thief
or thieves had come in this direction. A
sharp lookout was Immediately set for
them, and on Sunday Captain Ycatman
arrested two suspicious individuals in
Sandy Hook having mule in their pos
session, which they were endeavoring to
sell, and which answered the description
of the stolen animal. The men, an Italian
and Frenchman, were taken before JUS
tice Houston Rucker, and, after investiga-
ton, were committed to Jail to await the
action OF the county court. One OF them
refused to give his name, and the other
could not or at least pretended that he could
not, speak English plain enough to be I'M
dcrstood. They finally gave the names of
Richard Gen and Thomas Burgess, which
are no doubt fictitious. Since their arrest
they have told so many conflicting tales
that the suspicious Of the officers arc con-
iirmed. Yesterday, officers from Camp
Davis visited them in the Jail, in company
with several policemen, and thought they
recognized one of them at least as having
once belonged to the Twelfth United States
regulars. They are both probably desert

returning from the opera was so great that
one of the official chdperOns attached to
their service was moved to inquire what
were the items of the evenings entertain

fancy, when he learned, to his disgust, that
it w. 5 neither the house, nor the lustres,
nor the scenery, nor the music, nor the
costumes, nor even the ballet, that had
most delighted them, but the preliminary
tuning of the instruments by the orchcs-

that Congress can admit the excluded

issue to be presented by the Convention.
If this should be effected before the session

really become impressed with the fact that
the issue upon the exclusion of southern
representatives will be disastrous to them,
and proceed to admit it, one great object
of the conservatives will have been
gained.-Sun.

The Prussians took the Elector of Hessc

Dresden, and advanced into Bohemia with
ont resistance. A slight collision occurred
between the belligerents in Silesia, and the
.Austrians retreated.
Concerning the communication Of France
to Austria, the Vienna PreSse says that
France denies any agreement with Prussia.
If Austria is successful, and does not me-
mace the existing kingdom Of Italy, and
does not advance beyond Milan, France
will not interfere, but will assist in con-
Guiding peace on permanent basis and,
further, she purposes for Italy pay
indemnity to Austria's remuneration ofthe
fruit of victory.
st. Petersburg advices declare that no
troops have been moved to the frontier,

JUVENILE CHIvALRY "A BLOODLESS
DUEL BETWEEN Two BoYs.-A couple of
youths, aged respectively seventeen and
fifteen years, had little difficulty, in
which lady was concerned, a few days
since, and one of them challenged the
other to fight duel, which was accepted,
and last night the time, and the other side
of Wolf river the place, appointed for
hostile meeting. Some young friends went
with the youth to see that all was right,
they loading the pistols, measuring of the
ground, etc. At about 10 o'clock the
duelists and their seconds took their posi-
tions, the word was given to fire, and bang
bang went the pistols; but fortunately
neither was hurt. One of the seconds
laughed immoderately at the conclusion OF
the duel, and upon being questioned as to
the cause of his mirth, stated that he had
loaded the pistols with powder and pieces
OF bleached domestic. This so irrltated
the younger of the parties, who, by the
way, is late arrival from the continent OF
Europe, that he demanded another chance
to revenge his wounded honor, and pro-
posed that they should fight with knives.
The elder one, however, was satisfied at
escaping SO easily from one duel, and did
not wish to try his luck again. After con-
siderable talk, they all preceded home,
laughing at the pleasant termination OF
what might have been tragedy but for
the good sense Of some friends. We have
the names Of the duelists, but refrain
from publishing them from respect to their
families, to whom this affair is very annoy
ing.--Hemphis Ledger, June Esd.

HALIFAX, July 3.-The report Of the
Jamaica Commission of Inquiry had been
presented to Parliament. The commission
ers commend the prompt and energetic
action Of General Eyre on the first news
of the outbreak, but condemn him for al
lowing martial law to continue after the
outbreak had been suppressed, and for not
exercising proper control over those sent
out against the blacks. There is no evil
dence, they say, Of an intended general in
surrection by the blacks. Eyre is not to
be reinstated as Governor of Jamaica.
LATER-APPEAL OF VICTOR EMANUEL.
Victor Emanuel has issued strong
manifesto to the Italians. He recapitulates
the effect of the last war upon Italy, and
regrets that from supreme reasons the
noble province of Venetia was then al
lowed to remain in the hands of the
Austrians, but favorable opportunity
has now arrived to accomplish the indie
pendence of Ven.tia from Austrian rule.
He charges the Austrians with having as
sumed hostile and threatening attitude
on Italian frontiers to disturb the pacifi-
cation of reorganization in Italy. He had
replied by again taking up arms, but never
theless showed his desire for peace by ac-
cepting the programme for conference.
Austria having refused it, affords fresh
proof that she relies on her strength, and
does not equally rely upon the goodness Of
her cause. The manifesto concludes with
a patriotic declai alton expressive of the
assurance that Italy has the sympathy OF
