PRINCE OF WALES.

| Prince Albert, second child and first son Of
Queen Victoria, was born November 9th 1841.
In March 1868 the Prince of Wales and the
Princess Alexandria, daughter of King
Christian TX. of Denmark, were married. On
the Sth. of January 1864 the Princess gave
birth to son. This boy is the next heir to
the throne. During the next sevens years
there were five more children born. The
following are the names and times Of birth
of the children.
Prince Albert Victor Christian Edward,
born Jan. s, 1864 Prince George Frederick
Ernest Albert, born Jan. 3, 1865; Princess
Louise Victoria Alexandra Dagmar, born
Feb. 90, 1867 Princess Victoria Alexandra
Olga Marie born July 6, 1868; Princess
Maude Charlotte Marie Victoria, born Nov.
&c, 1869.
Besides the above son was born more re
Gently but died soon after birth.
In consequence of the dangerous sickness
of the Prince of Wales many obituary notices
of him have appeared in the papers. His
sickness was noticed in the last TELEGRAPH.
A day ortwo after he was reported to be out
reported that u dangerous change had taken
place. And from that time there has been
almost hourly reports that the Prince is not
better and that all hopes of his recovery have
been given up. But the Prince fingers and
at this time, Wednesday morning, is still
alive Should the Prince recover, as he may,
his obituary will some time have to be
written again.
Should the Prince die, Prince Albert Victor
Christian Edward, who will be eight years
old Jan. Sth., will be heir to the throne. If
the Queen should die before the young Prince
becomes of age a regent would have to be
appointed But, according to recent reports,
the Queens health is SO good that she is
almost constantly at Sandringham, and much
of the time at the bedside OF the Prince.
And stranger things have appened than for
the Queen to live and reign till the young
Prince becomes of age. And as strange Things
have happened as for the Prince Of Wales to
recover and to become King after Queen
Victoria's reign shall come 90 a close. And
it might perhaps be as well for the news
papers to await the death of Prince Albert
Edward before writing and publishing his
obituary.
Mrs. Wharton is on trial for the murder of
Ger. Ketchum. Prof. Aiken testified to
finding tartare metic in the contents of a
stomach which was taken to him, and the
stomach was proved to be that of Gen.
Ketchum. On being recalled, Prof. Aiken
said that he had discovered that the expert
ment or test described by him in his testimo-
ny before the jury differed materially from
the test as described in the summary. The
experiment described in the summary is not
a test but he thought it was clerical err
ror. It is well for the Professor to correct
the error before the jury, but it would shave
been better not to haYe committed an error.
On trials for murder there should be no tes-
timony admitted founded in whole or in
part on errors of experiments or tests, or
even in cases of clerical error in the summa-
~ of the experiments. e#a

THE LARGEST CIRCULATION

ANXIETY ABOUT THE TENNEssEE.


Great anxiety prevails all over the coun-
try as to the fate of the steamer Tennessee.
Nothing was known at Washington at
noon yesterday. This anxiety does not
and has not existed in naval circles, where
the character of the vessel and the waters
over which she sailed is understood. A
great many foolish stories have been cir
cuIated as to the unseaworthiness of the
vessel, all of which are untrue. The Sec
rotary of the Navy, Admiral Porter, the
Chief of Construction, and other naval
officials, suffer no uneasinegs about the
matter. The President was Intercepted
on the subject on Monday, and said he did
not expect to hear from the Tennessee I'M
til tomorrow, as the packet from the capt.
tai of San Domingo would not arrive at a
telegraph point before then. Some of the
newspapers say that newspaper CORE
spondents, a large number of whom wished
to accompany the expedition and were
disappointed. have started the cruel ru-
NOR for the purpose of avenging them
selves.

Napoleon breaks the silence of his prison
castle and issues to the people of France q
proclamation. He says in substance that
so long as armies confronted each other on
French soil he would say nothing, to dis
tract her councils or cripple her efforts at
resistance. He refused to treat for peace
because he could not do so without having

while the Regency was preparing to arrest
the limited reverses to France the Repub-
lie, without shadow of right, expelled the
Empress from Paris; violated the seat of
the representation and overthrow the EN-
pire, thrice acclaimed by the people. Now,
however, he says he feels called upon to
protest against the usurpation, and to as
sert the title of his dynasty. He does not,
however, wish to do this if the people of
France, by fair expression Of their choice
shall indicate another Until this is done
however, he proclaims all acts illegitimate.
He says in conclusion, referring to hisown

A CONGRESSMAN ON ELS MUSCLE.

The Tennessee Tribune, of Monday, has
an account of how the gallant Congress
man elect, Hon. E. I. Golliday, and a
young man by the name of Bostwick
didn't agree very well on the train be-
tween Lebanon and Nashville a few days
since. It all grew out of a little affair that
came off in this city during the war 1t
said the gallant Colonel, now Democratic
Congressman elect from the Capital Dis
trict Of the Volunteer State, became
enan1ered of 4 dashing female at one of our
hotels. This same female has since be-
come somewhat notorious in this commu-
nifty. He sent her nice little billet doar,
from which he withheld his true name,
but informed her he would make himself
known at the tea-table, when, if agreea
bic, she could recognize him. Fitted up
in splendor, adorned with gilt buttons,
having paid more than ordinary attention
TO his toilet, he went to the table, his heart
beating high with hopes of winning the
ladyis favor. Sure enough she was there,
and our ongressman-would be-strokes
his beard and gives the sign agreed upon.
She recognized him, but not as he expect
ed, for, tea being over, she followed him to
the parlor with cow-hide, and, Southern
planter style, gave him several well-laid-
on lashes. Here the scene ended, but
Madam Rumor, with her thousand bab-
bling tongues, took it up, and prevented
the secrecy he so much desired.
1t seems that young Bostwick had allud-
ed to this affair during the late canvass, he
being friend of Col. Bailie Peyton. 5Pey-
toms friends spoke of it privately among
themselves, and it came to the ear of our
Congressman. He grew. irate. Last week
he met Bostwick and sought an sexplana-
ton, Hard words passed and blows Were.
about to follow, when Bostwick took off
the Congressman's paper collar, and friends
interfered to prevent further difficulty in
a railroad car, in which there was num-
Der Of ladies. Mutual friends brought
about a reconciliation, when the belliger-
ent parties shook hands, and our model
Democratic Congressman was covered all
over with glory. - ~ 0Akea
It may be well for us to admonish our
Republican friends that Ed. is a tightist,
and that they must beware of how they

A SoUTHERNE Err writes to Horace Greeley
that the land-holders of the South expect
to vote their colored employees 'just as
the large manufacturers and employers of
the North do their employees 70 this
Mr.. Greeley replies:

how any one voted, and do not know the po-
litical sentiments of twenty. As they are men.
who read and think tor themselves, we should
apprehend that any argument addressed by US
to their pockets would do the Republican cause
more harm than good. By those hired to work
the farm of the editor of this journal, more
votes have been cast, during the last sixteen
years, for the Democratic than the Republican
ticket. Every one has voted exactly as he saw
fit, without remonstrance or inquiry, often
riding to the poll on the the same wagon with
his employer and casting his vote dead against
him.
Southern men who think men in the
North vote as their employers dictate, are
much mistaken.

The last report of the Secretary of the
Treasury shows a decrease of the public
debt of four millions of dollars. While
the Democratic press go on heartily abus-
ing the President, he quietly pursues the
even tenor of his way, reducing the public
debt, encouraging public expenditures.
and increasing the revenues on reduced
taxation. No matter what politicians may
do or say, the President still has, as he
merits, the confidence of the people.
