XVI 1.-NO. 91. ffojnnflttti ftfspatcjf. MONDAY MOKNINtJ APUIL, 10. ISM. THE WASHINGTON Arr.UR OF HONOR. THE ORIGIN" OF IT. The telegraph announces thai Mr. Potter, of Wisconsin, was arrested in Washington on Saturday, and held to bail in tha sum of *s,t;ixi. The Washington Star, of Saturday afteraooi i •peaking of the contemplated duel, tars: As far as we can learn—and we have had to depend on street accounts of the affair—after Mr. Pryor's friend, Mr. Clii.man, had rejected the proposition to light tilth bowie-knives ol equal weight, tin the open air, or in a room with two seconds present on either tide, the distance to be four feet and the word to be toSM-d up for.) Mr. Lander, ou Mr. Potter's behalf, atated that his friend was wholly un accustomed to dueling, or tbe use ofthe im plements usedln it under thec.de; bnt tbat as he was at all limes ready to defend bis per gonal honor, if Mr. Pryor chose to attack mm in the street or elsewhere, he would attend then and there, on receiving due notice, to deleud himself, each party to be armed as he might think best. This being also a barbarous alternative, was of course not acceded to by Mr. Pryor's se cond. At that poiui.it is said, Mr. Lander declared tbat fully comprehending his duty under the code to be to take bis principal's place in tbe affair, (the latter declining tbe weapons of tbe code,) he was himself ready to meet Mr. Pryor with any weapons and on any terms the latter might select. That proposi tion was not acceded to, for there bad been no quarrel whatever between Col. Lauder and Mr. Pryor. . There tne affair is understood to have ter minated. Col. L. is understood to have con sulted with no one in conducting the negotia tions on Mr. Potters Ik-alt; and Mr. Pryor is understood to have been iv Alexandria, and not personally in any way- a participant or adviser in the negotiations en his side.— As the parties to tbe affair have as yet made no explanations concerning it that we can bear of, we give this explanation for what it is worth only—as being apparently the most re liable vere-ion of the doxen conflicting state ments afloat to-day on Pennsylvania avenue. Col. Lander is a native and citizen ot Massa chusetts, bnt has spent some years on tbe ex treme western frontier, whete he has l>een professionally engaged as a civil engineer.— Politically, be is a very emphatic pro-slavery democrat, and ihe fact that he is the cousin of Mr. Potter's wife, we take it for granted, is the reason why he was found acting in the matter in Mr. P.'s behalf. The following is a report of the colloquy in the House of Representatives, out of which the difficulty grew: Mr. Pryor.—l rise to a qnestioti of privilege. I a.-k the gentleman from Virginia to yield to me. Mr. Smith, of Va.—Certainly. Mr. Pryor.—l would like the attention of an honorable mem ber of this If ouse from Wiscon sin, (Mr. Potter.) Io the Globe of this morn ing I find the following report of a scene which occurred upon this floor some few days since: [Mr. P. here read the report of that portion of the Lot-Jay disturbauceThursday,ia which Potter ligtu.'d.j It is due to myself to lay that, although he may have been near me, 1 did not recognises tin* presence of the honorable member from Wisconsin, nor did I hear one word from his lips. Now, sir, am I peculiar or singular in tailing to observe his presence I for, by refer ence to leading papers in New York, Phila delphia and Haltimore, all of which give sepa rate and distinct accounts of tbe proceedings of that day, I find tbat no allusion is made to his presence, and not cue word is he reported taha.e uttered. However, I find this lan guage reported in the Globe, and I presume I must concede that he did appear, and that he did speak on that occasion. Hut, on recurring to tbe manuscript of the reporters, I hod that he has interpolated the record of our pioseed- Ims, in a matter touching personal relations, affecting that reccrd in a most material re gard : •'We listened to them quietly, and heard them through. And now, sir, this side shall be heard.' There stopped the manuscript ofthe report er. The member from Wisconsin '.hen aoded, in bis own handwriting, *' let the consequences be what they may. - Agaiu, I am reported as having said : *' You shall not come here ges ticulating in a menacing aud ruffianly man ner." Mr. Potter was icp'orted to ha\e made no response. The reporter heard no response, and accordingly reported none. The member from Wisconsin here interpolated in his own hand writ ing, "you are doing ibe same tiling. ' Again, following a remark made by Mr. John Cochrane, tbe member from Wisconsin is made by the reporter to say : '•1 do not believe tbat side of the House can say where a member shall 6peak." There the official report terminated; but the meiai-.er lrom Wisconsin has added:*'and they shall not say it." With this siatemenl of facts, repeating that the newspapers of the country have not repor'ed his presence in the House at all on that occasion, and that the official report of our proceedings exhibits tbe fact that he did not say that which he repre sents himself to have said, 1 resume my seat. Mr. Potter.—l am very much surprised that the member from Virginia should say that he did not see me upon the occasion al luded to ; but, sir, I have no right to say, and I shall not say, that he did see me, because I, of course, cannot say that he saw me ; but I stood within a few feet of the gentleman, aud when he made the remarks he has just read iv relation to Mr. Lovejoy's coming down into the area, gesticulating aud shaking his lists, 1 said, " You are doing the same thing." 1 said it, as I supposed, distinctly, and I was sur prised when, on looking at the notes of the re porter, I found that it was not so reported. I did what I supposed every member had a right to do under the circumstances. When x was conscious, when I knew tbat I made the re mark, and when other members on this side of the House beard me make it, 1 put tbe remark ia its proper place. I also claimed the right, aud exercised the right, in looking over the notes of the reporter, to correct them. Ibe lieve the member from Virginia did tbe same thing. At auy rate, his remarks had been cor rected, judging fr„m the appearance of the ma v use rip i. 1 did no more than the member from Virginia did. 1 corrected my remarks.— It is perfectly natural to suppose that, under tbe circumstances, in tbe confusion which took place when so many were speaking at the same time, the reporters did not bear distinct ly ; but there are gentlemen on this side of the House who did hear me make tbe remarks as they appear in tbe ts lobe. This is all I have to say upon the subject. Mr. Pryor.—One word more. As to my see ing the gentleman from Wisconsin, it is pro per for me to say that although I did not see or recognize bim, he may have been there without my seeing him. As to iheother point the gentleman makes, that I also altered the report of my remarks, I have this to say, that I did iv two instances, I think, which I have here, substitute one word lor another, not in auy respect changing the sense or meaning; certainly not making the language stronger, or putting me in any more Heroic attitude. 1 understand the gentleman, then, to remark tbat he did say, ou that occasion, that I had, in a ruttiauly and violent maimer, approached and gesticulated towards the gentleman from Illinois. I understand him to say that. Now, tir, 1 wish to know if 1 am to understand further tbat he iv tends by that any menace or offence to myself individually I (Laughter from Republicans.) m Mr. Potter.—What I meant to say was Ibis, that when tbe member from Virginia had lefi his own seat aud come down into the area, and was shaking his list at Mr. Lovejoy, anu was charging, so tbat it might go to the country, the same offence, if it be an offence, upon the geutleman from Illinois, I said what was very natural that 1 should say under the cir cumstances, that "You are doing the came thing." 1 deprecated the shukingof lists on one side as much as upon iheother; but 1 meant what I theu said, and I stand by what I said. Aud, sir, I said before that I consider that a member has tbe right, aot only to correct bis remarks a* takeu by the reporters, but it a re mark has, in the excitement aad confusion of tlieoccaaiou beeu left out, he has a perfect right to pat it ia. 1 did put iv this remark, because I wauled tbe report to be correct.— That was the only motive I bad. And now, Mr. Speaker, I will ask the member from Vir giuia whether Re did aot, of hie owa motion, erase tbat remark after it had been pat la the report! I ask him what right he bad, even alter I had put iv a remark, to erase it with. out consulting me I When I looked over Ibe notes again 1 saw what the gentleman from Virginia had done; aud I now say that ha had no right whatever to alter a single word or a comma iv those remarks. I woultl have cut my right* haad off before I would have done it. Uut, sir, that remark of mine, put la its proper place, at I altered it, was eulirei) wiped out by tbe member from Virginia, (Mr. Pnror.) Ha erased It lv such a way thai neither tha reporters, the printers, uor any body else could bare u»ld what were the words which bad barea wmtea. It was taking » liberty, Mr. Streaker, which bo bad ao right to take. It it Do* right oi •o person, la looking over tbe uo'mt ot the reaorter. to tOßam ju.y remark there writtea, SffiaE^a-_rV: . , ... *•■ '77 ' - * ■ «***'* ii 1 , .. •;.'** * RICHMOND, VA., MONDAY, APRIL 16, 186H as he has the right to do, the (entletaaa from V irgiuia has no business and no right what ever to araeud, or alter, or strike oat the re marks purporting to have been made by another member. It is a liberty which I did not lake, which I have no right to take, and which no gentlemaß has the right to take. Mr. Pryor.—One word, and the. I am done with thii matter. Tbe gentleman from Wis consin wants to know by what authority— for be impeaches the act—l erased matter which he had interpolated there. I erased no word which tbe reporter had written upon his manuscript, but 1 felt myself authorized to erase an unwarrantable and impertinent interjection in tbe gentleman's own band writing. He says before ne would have done that thing-eiased that which somebody else had put upon the manuscript—he would have hit arm cut off, and yet he could interject into the manuscript that which tbe reporter did not writedown and report bim to have said (Laughter from the Republican benches.)- The gentleman says that be stands by his lan guage. 1 am glad to hear it. I understand him. then, to give me the liberty of cons4_in(r his remark as I please. I will put what construc tion I please upon it, and whether or not be stands by it tbe sequel will demonstate. (Oa. n « '""Bntorfrom the Republican benches.) Mr. Potter.-Let it demonstrate. The Washington corretpondent of the Phila delphia Press says: The provision of the Constitution of Wis consul against dueling is extremely severe.— It deprives, any person sending or receiving a challenge atony ofliee be may hold at the time, forever disfranchises him from holding any ofliee of trust, honor or gift of the people, and k .'. , e _? njr li? tecastfor « ucn » man at the ballot-box.

Whiskey Insurrection in Minnesota.- Ihe people of Minneapolis and St. Anthony, Minn., have been under a great state of excite ment fora week. The origin of it was the death ol a yotingman by delirium trenrttu. On Sunday Rev. Mr. Nichols preached a strong sermon, iv which he advised, as weareinform ed, the citizens to take tbe'higher law" into their own hands for clearing out tbe liquor sellers. On Wednesday- night the Coi.gre •riiional Chuich, in which Mr. Nichols preached, was entirely destroyed by fire. Oa Thursday a meeting of citizens was held, and a deputation of about fifty gentlemen was in structed to wait on all the saloon keepers, and give them notice that unless they closed up their business it would be closed by force — This duty was performed Friday, and the sa loon keepers announced their intention of making a forcible resistance in case they were molested bya mob of the citizens. Inthemean time au association had been formed in St. An thony, composed ol Americans and Germans, ot which a prominent German named John Orlh, is the leader, for the purpose of assisting the liquor sellers in case tbey are unlawfully moles:ed; and aalesa a compromise is effected between the parties to the coutioversy, scenes of violence will ensne. The Americans In iured at Rome.—Among the Americans injured by the charge of the Papal geudartr.es at Koine, was Key. W. W. Hall, an Unitarian clergyman, of Providence, R. 1. He was on the sidewalk when oue of ibe soldiers struck him on the shoulder with the flat of his sabre a violent blow, and mut tering in reply to his remark that he was an American, "*io« importu," "no matter," brought the blade down upon his head with his ut most force inflicting a gash upon the brow, between the left eye and the temple. The American Consul, Mr. H.Gleutwortb, of New York, was getting into his carriage at his own door, with a French officer, aud narrowly es caped being wounded by a trooper, who struck at him. Mr. Stockton, the American Minis ter at Rome, applied to Cardinal Antonelli on the subject, who assured him that if the facts were as represented, his government was pre pared to disavow the acts of his agent:; per fumed without orders, and to discbarge ibem if pointed out. Loss or Life at Sea.—The bark Roscoe re turned to New York Friday mor_iug, having met with a sad accident on the voyage. While on" Cape Horn, in lat. 5:1 41, long At 37, on the •id ot February, they fell in with whales. The mate lowered aud took one, and got him along side the ship. Capt. Almy then lowered and got his boat stove. The second mate went to bis assistance, and all got into his boat, when a whale came up and stove the boat, and all perished. The names of those in the boat were Capt. W. H. Almy, his son, Geo. H. Almy, Hugh Bell, Henry Sanguinette, Edwin McNa mara, James Casile, Warren and Manuel Por tuguese. Previous to this, one of the crew, Reuben C. Sayer, died of consumption. Accident to an Actress.—A melancholy ac cident occurred to Miss Charlotte Wyette, an actress ot considerable ability, on the mh inst., while playing in the piece of "Faustue," at the National Theatre, iv Cincinnati, where she is now fulfilling an engagement. During the pro gress of tbe piece she is supposed to be consigned to tbe lower regions, and while the scenic effect was being produced, by some means or other a barrel of gunpowder lell and exphdett on the stage, inlliciiiig serious injuries upon Miss Wyette. Her skin was blackened aud her per son otherwise disfigured. Medical aid was promptly rendered, and it it to be hoped that she will toon recover. Tub Lynn Strike.—A paragraph is in cir culation to the effect that the female strikers of Lynn remain firmer than the men. Their firmness is a matter of necessity; tbe number of women who struck was small, and their places were at once tilled by others. Tbe fa mous processions of lemale strikers were made up of milliners, dress-makers and g'rls, who marched for tbe sport of the thing. The manufacturer* find no difficulty in obtaining workmen, aud are compelled to refuse the ap plications of workmen.— Boston Advertiser, llth inst. Strakub Case.—A young O-erman, named Schtessinger, in Cincinnati, a short time since seemed laboring under great mental depres sion,.and refused to take any sustenance, say ing that be had dreamed that bis mother, who resides near Springfield, had died, and that if she were takeu from him he did not care to live any longer. Soon after, he received a let ter confirming his dream, when be shot him self with a pistol. Accitiemtallv KiLLßii.—The night train ol curs on the Uicbmuud.Fredericksburgand Po tomac Railroad ran overa negro man belonging io Alfred Bernard on Tuesday night last, a mile or two below Fredericksburg. Thanegro bad been drinking, and it is supposed that be sat down ou tbe rail, went to sleep, and did aot hear the approach of the cars. Ue died short ly after the occurrence of the accident. Railroad Accidb-t.—The express train from St. Ljuis lor Chicago Thursday night, broke through the tressel vrork bridge, tbree miles North of Springfield, instantly killing two men who were riding in front of tbe baggage car. Tbe engineer aud fireman were badly hurt. No others, were seriously injured. Poieoaiao or Cuiloubn.—At the Orphan Asylum in Le_ingtou, Ky., the "children re ceutly ate, by mistake, some, arsenic prepared for the destruction of rats. Twenty-one ol tbe victims of this mistake were seriously poisoned, but, by great care, were saved from death. Damaoxb.—Mrs. Maverick, a stenographic writer, in New York, hat received si.ooo damages lrom one ot the street railroad com panies in that city, for the lost of her little tluger, which was crushed through the care lessness ot a couductor.

Solid Oil in the Shape or Coal.—We have been favored with a small specimen of coal lrom tbe neighborhood of Cairo station, Ritchie county, Va., on the Northwestern Virginia Railroad, which isof a very peculiar quality, it has been tested by various chem ists, and bas been found to be, as it were, crystalized mineral oil. being without strati fication, and free from any foreign substance. The tests bave shown that it will yield one hundred and sixty-five gallons of crude oil to the ton. After one refining process, ._• per cent, of refined oil was obtained; after a sec ond distillation, CI por cent, of the whole amount was obtained in pure oil, and M per cent, of lubricating oil and parailine. By tak ing a portion of tbe coal and laying it on a hot stove or shovel, its extraordinary quality is obvious. It melts and runs like wax. It is quite probable that if shafts are sunk deep enough, a reservoir of mineral oil, similar to that in Venango county, will be reached.from which this vertical veiu of solid oil has origi nated.— Pittsburg Post. Sea Elephant Oil—A schooner has lately arnvedinNewport(R.l.)barbor,fromacruiee after sea elephant oil in the vicinity of the Desolation Islands, situated West of Cape Horn, between tbat and the Straits of Magel lan. Thii branch ol fishery is said to be in perecding somewhat, of late years, the whale fishery, and is quite as successful Ten ves sels were on the coast when she sailed—two ships, tbree harks, and five schooners. One of the ships had on board 3,:«*ti barrels of oil, and the other :j,ooo. One bark had IBtxj barrels, and the other was full. The schooners gene rally operate as tenders to the larger vessels, being employed for navigatiug the smaller rivers, where the sea elephant aoounds. The oil is tried out on shore and theu carried by the schooners on board tbe heavier craft, which are moored in deeper water. Liberal Gi*t to a Clay Association.— In New Orleans, the day before the inaugura tion ot the Clay statue, the Clay Monumental Association received a package, which, upon being opened, was found to contain an earth enware image, in an old-fashioned surtout and peaked hat. the latter bearing on the front the letters M. K. C. The Chairman, while ex amining the oddly-shaped figure, and wonder ing what could be the significance of such an offering, heard something rattle inside. Re moving a ribbon wound tightly About it, he found that the little creature was in two pieces, and taking him apart, out rolled three hundred gold dollars, and a note telling that thejrift cam;* from the association known as the "Mystic Kre-.v of Comas." From Utah and J_FrERSoN.—The Central Overland Mail and Pike's Peak Express ar rived at Atchison, Kansas, Thursday, bring, ing dates from Salt Lnke to the -<>4th of March, and Denver city io the sth of April, with _ In,- Olsi in goldrer express, and tf«,tKHi la the hands of the passengers. The reports from the mines are more favorable than ever. Many new and rich discoveries have been made.— The weather was very fine, and emigrant* were arriving daily. The California Pony Express was met at Chimney Rock, on the tith inst., at •_ o'clock, A. M. A shooting affray occurred at Rocky Ridre on the i:tth ult— Lewis Hame and Joe Cady were killed, and Bill Finley wounded. There is no news of importance from Camp Floyd. Sales or Land in Roanokb County.— Several valuable tracts of laud, iv Koauoke county, Va., have recently exchanged hands, at prices that indicate no depreciation iv pro perty of that kind. Mr. Thomas Tosh sold his Big Spring Mills, with a body ot moun tain land attached, to Mr. Elijah G. McClana han, at the price of BBUjBIB. Mr. Tosh after wards bought 431 acres of the "Waverly Farm," including tbe dwelling, from Mr. Jno. W. Hurt, at $u5 per acre; and Mr. Hurt bought from Major llammet the Green Hill or Craig Farm, at the price of ?.I~>,OUU, which is about #50 per acre.— Salem ( Va.} Register. The Entente Cordials.—The London Times seems to apprehend serious consequen ces in the event ot tbe disruption of the ami cable and confidential relations between France and England, chiefly because it may affect the spirit with which the late commer cial treaty will be carried into effect by Fiance. So tar, it says, the Emperor bas gained all his objects. He has crippled Austria, neutralized Russia, aud consolidated' Italy. He has de ceived the government but not tbe people of England, who never trusted him, though tbey had not thought it necessary to be constantly telling bim so. Good Fishing.—Albert Blake, a shoemaker of Ciaremoiu, N. 11., (says The Eagle,) went fishing the other day, up Black River, near Cavandish, Vt., and soon made fast to a pike, which, lrom the strength of its pull, be " sus picioned" was oue of the settlers. After an exciting struggle of some tweuty minutes, he succeeded iv lauding it safely and brought it home. This respectable fish measures tbree feet four inches iv length, weighs eighteen and three-quarters pounds, and was taken with a common trout line! Hkavv Imports.—The Portland (Me.) Ad vertiser says thai the aggregate amount of goods passed through the Bonded Warehouse at that port, brought by the Canadian steam ships the past winter, amounts already to over S'lo,M'l'.imiu; tbe cargo brought by tbe Bo hemian alone ou ber last trip beiug valued at over «l,U(Ki,ii(Ki. The cargoes of tbe Indian and Hungarian would bave swelled this amouut considerably, as that of the Hungarian alone was estimated at $l,Utiu,ijuu. Freshet at Wheeling.—There waa a furi ous rain storm at Wheeling, Va., on Wednes day last, and on Thursday the Ohio river was rising at the rate of one inch an hour. Centre Wheeling and Richietown were submerged to a sreat extent. The cellars of the stores oil Main, below Monroe streets, were filled with water, aud skiffs were plying about the locali ty. No train ou the Baltimore aud Onio Rail road bad reached the city for two days. Excitement at Knoxville, Term A great deal of excitement was caused at Knoxville, Term., on Monday, by a young lawyer named O'Uara using language derogatory to all la dies of the Protestaut faith iv that city. He was taken before tbe Mayor, but before tbe ex ami nation was concluded, was siezed by a erowdof two or three hundred persons, riddeu on a rail, and given notice to leave the city, which he did on the Southern train that night. Tub Latu Stobm in Virginia.—a letter from Clark county, Va., says that the storm in that section, on Monday night last, was very violent. Hail and rain fell ia,«orrenu, aud there was much damage to property in and about White Post. About Rectortown, in Fauquier, the storm was severe. All aloug the river, in Stafford, King (J-eorge, _c, hail fell "hi quantities." Such a storm iv April has rarely beeu experienced. Visit to a Bba-iliak Wa» Ybasel — Mayor Wood, of New York, accompanied by deputations lrom both Hoards of tbe Common Council aud a number of. other gentlemen. paid a ceremonious visit Friday to lbs Bra zilian ship-01-war Donna Isabella, which has been at anchor in that harbor lor tbe past three weeks. The ship was gaily dressed with bunt ing, aud the visiting party were received With all the honors by tbe oUicers of the corvette. SXCaBTABTOF L.BOATIOM TO FUAM.B M. W. Olotkey, late postmaster of the House of Representatives, was a few days ago, it is sta ted, tendered by the President the post of as sistant Secretary of tbe Legation to Prance Mr. Wilbur, of New York, haviut: beta re moved. Mr. Uiuskey, however, declined, and Mr. Clark, of Maine, haa beta nominated for the place. Rbdcotiob or Pobtaob to Lu-aanuao bt Baauaa Mail.—The single rate of letter pot. tage between the United States aud the Crraud Duchy of Luxemburg, by the Bremen mail, haa been reduced from twenty-two to flrteea cents, prepayment optional; so tbat ths uniform rate of fifteen cents is aow chargeable oa all hitters conveyed la the Ilremeu mail between the United Rratae and the States belonging io tbe German-Austrian Postal Union.

Circuit Coun- .ludge Meredith aresidiag.- Tbe greater porMoa af the aeatioa of this Court, oa Saturday tact,was spent la the trial of Whitmell Eason, charged with feloniously stabbiug aad wouadiag Philip G. Spindle, oa tbe night of tbe 18th ef Jan nary last. The accused aad Augustus B. Lipscomb were In company at tbe time of the stabbing, aad both bad been indulging freely iv intoxicating drinks. While passing up Broad street they met Spindle and a friead coming down, and without knowing Spiadle, Liptcomb attempt ed to trip him down. This unwarranted lib* erty lad to words between the parties, aad at length Lipscomb struck Spindle, aad a flght seemed inevitable, when Eaton stabbed Spin dle in tbe back. That Bight both Eason aad Lipscomb were arrested, and after aa exami nation before tbe Mayor aad a "called court," were remanded and jointly indicted by tha Grand Jury of tbe Circuit Oburt for felony.— Soon after tbe case was called last Saturday morning, a nolle prosequi was entered ia tha case ef Lipscomb, and he was made a Com monwealth's witness. The trial was conduct ed, on the part ol the defence, by Col. Angast, and for tbe Commonwealth by Mr. Tazewell. After hearing the evidence and argument of counsel, tbe jury brought in a verdict of guilty of unlawful stabbiug against Eason. and he was sentenced to five months' confinement in the city jail. In the case of James P. Henry, who was found guilty by tbe jury of stealing g.IOO worth of watches from M. G. Whitman, and bis punishment ascertained to be tbree years' confinement in the Penitentiary, Col. August filed his bill of exceptions, and the prisoner will, therefore, have another opportunity to escape tbe punishment meted out to him. Tlic Virginia Stable— we mean that of the Messrs. Doswell—is now on its way home, having won honors enough wherever it hae been to satisfy the ambition of the owners and their friends. Planet and Fanny Wash ington—probably the best pair of racers in any one stable in tbe Union—have surpassed onr highest expectations iv their perform ances ; for they have beeu in constant train ing for months, and must have begun to grow stale before they reached New Orleans. We had heard so much of the Southern and Western "cracks," that we-e said to be ly ing iv wait for them at the Crescent city, that we had supposed they were to be taken by storm in every engagement. To onr disap pointment, however, they bore off both tbe four mile races, as wejl as that at three miles, apparently without a struggle. Two days af ter winning the "Planet Stake," Planet was beaten at two mile beau by 'Daniel Bjone," a promising Kentucky colt; but we presume no one saw tbe race that did not see Planet was sore from bis eight miles' run, and un able to do justice to himself. Tbe fact tbat he had been drawn for a long race only three days before, and tbat he had run it in good time, wonld have deterred anybody but his owner from starting him in a two mile race. And tbe further fact that Mr. Doswell offered to match him against Darnel Boone, or any other horse, he betting ?*-»,ixhj io 915,000, if tbe race was run at "Ashland," is the best evi dence that his decryers thought they had caught him when off his feet, and were un willing to try him again. Dt structive Fire.— Between the hours of 3 and 4 o'clock yesterday morning, the residence of Mr. Lewis Dowdy, in Rocketts old field, was discovered to be in a light blaze, and as the family were all asleep, they narrowly escaped suffocation and burning before they could be aroused. Some of them fled from the house in their night clothes, and others barely bad time to save the apparel tbey bad pulled off the night before. In tbe two lower chambers some few articles were saved, but in all other parts of the building every vestige of furni ture was destroyed with the house, which was burned to tbe ground. Mr. Dowdy had a small insurance on the building. His loss will tall heavily upon him. Fire-Anns. — The inventive genius of tbe whole country seems to be applying itself to the perfection of fire-arms, and, as a conse quence, new models are being prepared of guns and pistols,and new patents are being applied for every day. In March last a rentleman named BaU-ock obtained a patent fora breech loading pistol, which must become very popu lar with all wiio need such weapons for self protection or amusement. We understand tbat arrangements are now being made with Mr. James It. Browne, of this city, to com mence the manufacture of the " Babcock pis tol,*' and if completed, that he will soon be able to supply the entire South with this sim ple, cheap and effective weapon. Good Haul.—A few nights since the sleeping apartments at the Columbian Hotel, of Mr. Ellington, a merchant,of NoribCarolina, was entered, and *M to 7,000 lbs. of bacon was con sumed.

G_riba_di.—lt is stated that under the arrangements for the transfer of Savoy to France, G-eneial Garibaldi would obtain the trade of U-eueral of .Division in the French army, but he has already declared bis choice to be Italy, and his intention to remain a sub ject of Prince Victor Emanuel. He had been elected Deputy for Nice. I .COM a OP THE WXBLBYAN MISSIONARY Society.—The London Watchman announces tbat the income of the (English) Wesleyau Missionary Society for 1850, including a legacy —tbe net income of which was £9,000, was £140,0U0, or about f 700,000, an increase ot up wards of B-(i,ono upon tbe previous year. Arrival or Old Adams, tbe great Cslitoruia bunter, with one hundred and fifty living auimals of his own capturing, including seventeen dancing and performing bears, bas arrived at New York from San Francisco, on board the ship Goldeu Fleece. POST-Or PICK APPAIRS — Virginia Appoint ments.—James P. Patterson, general postmas ter at Snow Hill, Nicholas connty, vice Jas. White ; Edgar Blackwell, postmaster at Wi comico Church, Northumberland couaty, vice James Coles, resigned. A Mill Binned.—A mill, tbe property of Nathaniel Tatum, of Madison county, Va., was destroyed by fire on tbe Bight of the loth lust. There was in the mill a considerable amount of grain, and many other things of value, all of which were consumed. Stbikb among Tax Minbrs.—A large num bei of laborers and miners in the Schuylkill coal regions are on a strike. This is caused by several heavy operators refusing to pay the regular "summer" wages, as heretofore, ia April, uatil the first of May. Naw Buildings ia Naw York.—The whole value of buildings vow ereciiug in New York is estimated at 54,4G4,.i00, which is a falling off of Sl,otMj,7oo, iv comparison with the corres ponding period of last year.
