SERIOUS News, IF TRUE.-Serious
news has come from San Francisco.
The Flag has advices from Fort Ma
son, New Mexico, stating that the
Imperial commander at NIagdalena,
Sonora, with band of Indians, had
seized a freight train belonging to
American citizens, and prohibited
further transportation by American
citizens. Colonel Lewis, command
ing at Fort Lewis, had been served
with demand by the Imperial COM
mander for property taken by the
Liberals and sold to American mer-
chants. The demand was sent to
headquarters. These orders embold-
ened the Imperialists to invade
American soil and murder and plum
der inoffensive persons. Generals
Mcdowell and Mason refuse to allow
Colonel Lewis and his mon to retaliate.

DEcLINEIN PRICES. Tho New York
Sun notes that last week the decline
In wholesale prices was greater than
in any week since the present down
ward movement commenced, and
says:
Standard domestic manufactures
IN the dry goods market receded in
price about twenty per cent, and the
average reduction in imported goods
was probably not less than twenty
five per cent. Even at these; reduced
rates sales were very meagre, and it
is quite probable that the decline will
continue during the present week.
In other branches of trade, there has
also been material reduction in
prices, although the per centage of
decline has not been so uniform as i'll
the dry goods market. 1t is evident
that prices are now rapidly gravitat-
ing toward real values.

The WHEAT CRoP-ToBAcco.-Bv
recent advices, we are in receipt of
the unwelcome intelligence that tho
wheat crop of the State has been Sc
riously injured by the rigors of the
winter just passed. Especially is
this true of that large portion of the
State lying North of James River. 1t
seems inevitable but that our impo-
verished people shall be subjected to
greater and longer continued priva-
tions by another scant harvest. The
Southern portions of the State, we
are glad to learn, have escaped the
blight Of winter that has fallen so
heavily upon less favored attitudes.
In all parts of the State, extensive
preparations are being made to plant
q great breadth of land in tobacco,
and there is reason to hope that an
unusually large crop of this valuable
staple will be made, relieving, to
some extent, the consequence of the
failure of the wheat crop. At any
thing like present prices, tobacco will
pay better than any crop that can be
raised in the State. e.-Richmond Times.

ANEcDoTE OF GENERAL JACKSON
While Gen. Jackson was connected
with the army, an officer complained
to him that some of the soldiers were
making q great noise in a tent.
''What are they doing?" asked the
General.
"They are praying now, but havo
been singing" was the reply.
'And that crime?" asked Jackson,
with emphasis.
'The articles of war;" said the
officer, ''order punishment for any
unusual noise"
"God forbid!' replied Jackson with
much feeling, ''that praying should
be an unusual noise in my camp"
and advised the officer to join them.

Somebody's watching and waiting for him.
