The REBEL AND THE PRINcE.-Wben the
old rebel of '76, Ralph Farnham the last
survivor of Bunker Hill was introduced to
the Prince of Wales, at Boston, the other
day, the great grandson of the sovereign
against whom he fought received him with
much kindness and some curiosity. The
old man was so well pleased with bis man.
ner that he shrewdly remarked. "If princes
were alwaysto treat body SO, there would
be less wars" A very truthful obserya-
ton that of the old rebel; and perhaps he
thought at the time that if George the Third
had treated the colonists with less Injustice
there might have been two bloody wars and
two magnificent victories the less. But we
might add that if princes Travelled more and
saw more of the people it might have the
same effect in repressing the spirit of inter-
national conflict. Wars it is said. are wag-
ed to keep the princes on their thrones. TO
maintain or create dynasties is the object
of almost every war and if the rulers and
people of different nations understood each
other better, there would be less necessity
for sanguinary and devastating conflicts.
The Prince of Wales now enjoys an advan.
tage over any of bis predecessors in this re-
spect, and we have no doubt that the result
will be manifested in the future policy of
England, should he ever come to the throne.
If it is not, his travels will have produced
very little fruit.-[N. Y. Herald.

SILVER ORE.-One tun of silver ore, from
the Esmeralda mines, was brought to Sac
ramento last Wednesday, to be forwarded
to San Francisco for assay. 1t was sacked
in different packages, and marked Ante
lope," "Garibaldi," and "Silver MIL" the
names Of the several leads from which it
was taken. Those persons interested in
these mines, says the Sacramento News, and
who have forwarded this tun of ore for
smelling and assay, are very confident that
it is the richest ever from the Washoe or
contiguous country. If an assay does not
disappoint the expectations of these pio-
neers in these newly discovered mines, q
large and extensive country lies open and
inviting to the miner and laborer, and no
doubt very large emigration will set that
way next spring. The value and richness
of this special lot of ore will be looked for
with interest from all parts of the State.

PLANT PEAS DEEP.-The theory re-
Gently advocated of planting peas very
deeply in the earth, in order to prolong
the bearing capacity Of the vines, has
also been tested in Williamstown, Mass,
and found to be correct. A farmer told
me that he ploughed furrow beam deep,
then scattered the seed at the bottom;
after which he turned deep furrow upon

possible, to the depth of twelve or four.

through the thick mass of earth very

extraordinary skill in the game of billiards to the

In France several of the most brilliant PLAYERS are
women, and the adaptedness of the game to domes-

and touch so well fit the sex for triumphs with the
balls, that these exhibitions may inaugurate a
school of home billiards which will introduce new

SUPPOSED MURDER AT LONG BRANCH, n. 1.-The
citizens and visitors at Long Branch New jersey
were plunged into intense excitement at the dis
covery this morning that murder had been per-
petrated during the night. Near the Monmouth
House pool Of blood was to be seen, with other
indications that some one had had been put to
death and then dragged to the beach. A billet of
wood was also picked up, upon which was blood,
hair and brains. Upon following the trail to the
beach skitf was found, the bottom of which was
covered with blood, and giving rise to the suspi-
cion that the murdered individual had been taken
on board ard carried out to find a grave in the
ocean. One resident of the place picked up three
cents on the beach, which had evidently fallen from
the pocket of the unfortunate individual. A color
ed woman, employed as cook at one of the restau-
rants stated that about halpast twelve last night
she heard a noise as of scufe, and two discharges
OF pistol, one alter the 9th er. Several other
persons state that they also heard the discharge
The widest conlectures were rife. 1t was suppo-
sed by some that some female had been the vic
tim, and her body thrown into the ocean to hide
the guilt of her murdcrers; but the hair upon the
stick appears to have been short and of the length
usually worn by men. The three cents found upon
the beach indicate attempt at robbery, though
the pockets had been turned inside out. Inquiries
were made to find whether anybody was missing
from any of the hotels boarding houses; and it
was discovered that two negroes had disappeared
from the National. Measures were at once taken
to ascertain their place of destination, but nothing
had been learned at the time of the leaving of the
steamer Rip Van Winkle for New York city. The
footprints observed leading from the scene of
boodshed, evidently made by bare feet. This
heightens the mystery. The coroner is making a
thorough examination. 1t is supposed that the
victim was one of a party of excursionsts that
visited Long Branch, taking the Delaware and
Raritan Railroad from Newark, and did not return
until late hour. The path of the murder was
traceable by clots of blood from the scene of the
crime to the waters edge.

Year: 1860

The Secession States complain, lst, that
the Fugitive Slave law is nullfed in some
of the States and therefore, there is no
safety to slave property, aud I'd, sectional
President is elected who is about to attempt
to deprive them of their rights in the Ter
setting the cotton States adrift from the
Union.


Before people proceeds to the grave
work of changing their government, it is
usually considered wise to look ahead and
count the benefits to accrue from the
change. Perhaps the secession States may
the contrary. 1t does not appear clear to
an impartial observer how the beligerent
States are to better their condition by de-
priying themselves of the Fugitive Slave
law entirely, as they would do by dissolu-
ton. The complaint on the score of the
Fugitive Slave law is known to be trifing.
The secession States have scarcely lost
runaway in the North. But great as the
grievance might be, the remedy proposed is
only an aggravation. 1t does not better the
condition of the complainant, but makes
him worse.


1t would relieve the world outside of the
Secession States of a great deal of perplex-
ity to be informed how those States pro-
pose to obtain the rights they claim in the
Territories by separation from the Union.
Those States once Topped off and the pop
ular voice of the remainder will be over
whelmiugly for free soil. To make Slave
States out of the Territories, to be annexed
to the Southern confederacy, would be i'm
possible unless by force of arms. Surely
the Secession States cannot contemplate
the last resort, particularly if Mr.. Buchan-
ans assertion be true, that the Southern
matrons retire at night with fear that
some bloody catastrophe may occur before
morning.


The redress which the South claims does
not seem to be obtainable out OF the Union,
and her only show appears to be to remain
and make still farther struggles.
