AN EXPLANATION.

In explanation of the serious turn
so sadly given to a seemingly trivial
conversation, this very plausible sug-
gestion has been made by persons
acquainted with the character of Gen.
Clanton and the circumstances sur
rounding him. General Clanton had
had several difficulties with the ad-
herents of the STATIONS since his con.
nection with the Alabama and Chatta-
nooga railroad, and he has been going
armed in anticipation of further trouble.

"a. Bachelor Como Up"

So says the Salisbury (Md.) Bachelor Of
last week, which comes to US with head up
turned aud matter displaced, and other
exhibiting unmissaksable signs that ''some
disturbing element had been at work in the
Office" % examination we Gnd that one Of
the editors had taken unto blmself rib-had
himself fallen in the snare 'of which he had
70 veheu,ently warned others to beware.
After all, it seems our Bachelor friends are
"making much ado about nothing" Que
more unfortunate has joined the noble army
Of martyrs, that's all. We advise that other
Bachelor editor "to go and do likewise" "a
house divided against itself " we know "can-
not stand" and when be has "done the deed
we suggest the name Of their valuable journal
b changed to Benedict.

Trial OF Mr.. Wharton.

The trial eff Mrs. E. G.. Wharton for the
murder by poison of Gen. Ketcbum, still pro-
crosses slowly at Annapolis. So far, the evil
dsncs for the State clearly discloses the fact
that the death of the unfortunate old gentle
man resulted from the administration Of tartar
emstic, but, as yet, fails directly to connect
the prisoner with its administration. The
theory, however, that death resulted from IN
over dose of laudanum was effectually dispoe-
ed Of on Wednesday by the testimony Of the
druggist. Mr.. Rogers, whose name was on the
label of the vial alleged to have been found
in the bed occupied by the deceased. Great
interest 10 the proceedings is still manifested,
notwithstanding the tedious and slow charac-
ter Of the proceedings. especially during the
examination OF the medical aud chemical ex.
perts. Various opinions are expressed as TO
the result, but it is, we believe, generally con-
coded. up to this writing, that the State has
not yet made out its case strong enough to
warrant conviction. However, many wit
nsssss are yet to be examined, and it is doubt
less too soon for the expression of any clear
and decided opinion. To-day friday is the
eleventh day, and it 10 not unreasonable to
expect that the tfisl ID not more than half
through. :"

The American Farmer.

We refer our readers to the advertisement Of
Messrs. Samuel Sands & Son, of Baltimore,
who have resumed the publication of this pio-
neer of agricultural journal ism in the United
States. Mr.. Jno. S. Skinner founded this work
in 1919, and when he gave it up, its existence
was temporarily suspended until resuscitated
by Mr.. Sands, the Senior of the present firm,
who conducted it for twenty-five years, and
raised it to eminence and high degree of pros
perity. Some years ago he disposed of the
Farmer, and afterwards commenced the publ
cation of the Rural Register. Both papers are
now combined, and the old editor, assisted by
his Son, who was specially educated for this
profession, again takes the helm. Of the SER
vices of Mr.. Sands in behalf of agriculture,
David Dickson, Esq, of Hancock county, Ga,
one of the most eminent and successful agri-
culturalists of the South, some years ago said:
"It is great pity that every planter in Georgia
did not take your paper, for you have saved
the wheat growers in the United States millions
of dollars in the last fifteen years and the con-
sumers of guano owe but little less;" and on
another occasion the same distinguished gen
tleman, speaking of the Rural Register, remark
ed eff the Georgia planters understood their
interests they would double the price of your
paper and have it come once week and take
thirty or forty thousand copies" The long
experience of the Senior in the management OF
an agricultural paper, with the fresh aid ne
will receive from his Junior, will no doubt
render their paper popular with those for whom
they labor, and again give it foremost place
among its compeers of the day. Wswish all
success to this veteran of Agricultural Litera-
ture, and commend it TO our farming friends.

The condition Of the Prince of Wales, who
has been at the point of death for the past
two weeks, is, by the latest advices, unchang-
ed. His disease is typhoid fever and its symp-
toms sxhausting from the 6rst. The political
consequences Of the Princes death-of which
We may hear at any moment-it is impossible
fully to foresee. The Queen 10 old, infirm in
health and cannot 10 the course Of nature live
usny years longer. The Princes son, now
eight years old, is the next heir. In the
event Of the Princes death long Regency
will bs inevitable. In the meantime repub-
licanism is making rapid strides throughout
the whole country and it is not improbable
shat the present generation will witness the
entire abolition of monarchy and the estsb-
lishmenr upon its ruins of a distinct form OF
government, founded upon purely republican
principles.

Baltimore and Potomac Railroad.
We copy the following from the Prince
Georgian of last week:
As q most substantial evidence of the pro-
gress Of the railroad, our enterprising friend,
John w. Belt, Esq, of Oak Grove, on Thurs
day last, received cargo Of goods from Bal
tin1ore per rail. 1t is true be had to haul
them few miles but this was small mat
Ter compared to the former Inconvenience Of
receiving goods by the old routes. We chron-
icle this evidence Of the progress Of the roa.
and the energy Of our young friend Of Oak
Grove With sincere pleasure, and trust the day
is not far distant when we shall have the
pleasure Of hearing the snort Of the iron horse
10 our midst. just now, while this cud-snaf
lasts, bis presence would be God-send, ~
the river is blocked from shore to shore with
ice, aud our merchants, we fear, will be com
pellsd to wagon their Christmas Goods ove
from Washington. We'have the further gra
Hfying intelligence that the rails on the Wash
iugton Branch has been laid to the Anscostis
Bridge.

n@The downward tendency of gold an

va The downward tendency of gold and
the resumption Of specie payments was talk
ed over on Tuesday in Washington by the
House Committee on Ranks and Currency,
and q subcommittee will be appointed to
take into consideration specie payments, but
it is not probable that action in the premises
will be taken by the entire committee until
after the holidays. 1t matters but little, how
ever, how fast gold tumbles, as the price oil
living is kept up as high as during war times
and it will be long while before the middle
men come down to the prices of 1859.

The State making the greatest gain is Hi
nois, which has Eve. Pennsylvania under
this spportionment is allotted only two new
members, and New York one. The largest
proportion of gain is represented in the West.
All or nearly all the old slave States gain one
each, which is mainly attributable to colored
suffrage. Under the old 'apportionment the
representation given for the slave or colored
population was only about half what it is
under suffrage.

EDalesasrs and OraH Peint Railrsad.2
!, The engineers Of the Drum Point Railroa
are pushing their survey through the Second
and Eighth Election Districts Of Anne Arun-
dol county. In passing through the thickly
wooded parts Of the county they experienced
some difficulty, but they have now reached
more open country, and are advancing rapid
u towards the Calvert line. They pronounce
the country through which they have passed
advantageous for grading and the construction
Of . cheap road. On the completion Of this
foad connections will be formed by ferry
steamers with several Of the Eastern Shore
railroads, thus making Anne Arundel county
the great thoroughfare of travel for all the
lower Eastern Shore counties to Baltimore.

Supreme Court Decisfon.

The U. ). Supreme Court has rendered a
decision in the case of Ward rS. State Of Ma
ryland. Error to the Court of Appeals OF
Maryland In this case the plaintiff in error
was indicted 10 the State Court for vioioting
the statute against sales by sample by non-
residents without license, and the Court az
frmel the right of the State to exact the
license This Court hold that the statute of
Maryland is a violation of that clause of the
Constitution which guarantees to the citizens
of each State all the rights, privileges, &C., OF
citizens in the several States, and is therefore
void. But the view is taken that it is not
vi"ation of the commercial clause of the Com
stitution if the tax on residents and non,resi-
dents is equally laid Mr.. Justice Clifford
delivered the opipiou of the Court. Mr.. JUS
tice Bradley concurred in the opinion as to the
first branch Of the decision, but dissented as
to the second, budding that the statute is "a
violation of the commercial clause of the Con-
stitution because it is regulation of COM
merce between the States, and that it is re-
pugnant to this clause Of the Constitution,
without regard to the equality of the tax.

INAUGURATION OF q Mission.

We give 10 another column an article from
q correspondent Of the New York World in
reference to the missionaries to the negroes in
this country. These missionaries have just
arrived in Baltimore, and the ceremony o.
receiving them took place at St. Francis Xa-
vier Church, in that city, on last Sunday even
ing; A large congregation was assembled,
the clergymen present in addition to the
missionaries being Most Rev. Archbishop
Spalding, Rev. DR.. O'Conner, S. j., formerly
Bishop Of Pittsburgh, and Rev. Father Miller,
S. j., pastor Of St. Francis Church. The
missionaries are Rev. Cornelius Bowling, Jas.
Gore, James Noonan and Charles Wigneont.
who are accompanied by Very Rev. Dr..
Vaughan, Superior Of St. Joseph's Mission
College, Mill Hill, Middlesex. England. Az
ter vespers had been sung Archbishop Spald-
ing assembled the platform in front of the altar,
and introduced the above mentioned priests,
whom he said had been sent to this country
by the Pope to labor in the Church among
the colored people. The Rev. DR.. Vaughan
at the conclusion of the Archbishop's remarks
stated tina: the college Of which he was supr-
rior had only been recently founded, and a
number of young men who had completed
their studies had been directed by the Pope
to proceed to this country as missionaries a
mong the colored people, principally in the
Southern States. After some correspondence
they had concluded, at the suggestion of
Archbishop Spalding, to come to Baltimore,
with view Of establishing mission 10 the
lower part Of this State. For the present the
centre of the mission will be at St. Francis
Church, and in short time it is expected t"
extend it to all parts Of the country. The
services were concluded with the benediction
of the blessed sacrament.
