FRANCE.
Kilton lllastd Knrtptla 1807.'
We h.ave received a copy of the pamphlet
"Napieon III and Knrope in 1307," whose up-per-"amje
has been awaited with some anxiety,
as It. -wan supposed to proceed from an official
or rjeml-cfTlolal source. The correctness of this
a pposition has been semi-officially denied'
a Ad the pamphlet is supposed to speak for no
' sneexeept its author, M. Baaer. The pamphlet
in, however, written with considerable ability,
ik1 well calculated to be rend with general in
terest, The following is a brief summary of its
contents:
I. The mission of France Is to pronounce the
word l'eaoe.
II. This peace rests upon a complete national
and international political programme, and it
is supported by the following principles 1,
Frank, complete, and sympathetic acoeptanoe
of the facts accomplished or in the oourse of
being accompliHhed in Germany in all that re
lates to its Internal organization. 2. Conscien
tious execution of the Convention of Septem
ber 16, or the formation of an equivalent
t:uarantee. a. Progressive development of the
lberal ideas contained in the letter of the 10th
of January, 1807.
III. Germany is made, and the slightest
breath may suffice to raise the wave which will
place the sovereign crown ol Uermany upon
the forehead of the chief of the house of
lioheczollern.
IV. The fact of this unity, far from being the
fortuitous result of spontaneous events, which
more far-sighted skill might have frustrated,
is, upon the contrary, the necessary, organic,
inevitable development of secular causes, and,
let ob not hesitate to aver, of noble and legiti
mate aspirations. France might have retarded
but could not have prevented this formation.
V. France ought not and France cannot pre
vent the completion of German unity. She
cannot because she must not be false to her
democratic and liberal mission. Blie ought not
and she cannot, lastly, bee tuse she must not
make what In illogical and uujust the pivot of
her policy.
VI. France, and more especially the Franoe
Of the last eighty years, Is iu Knrope the highest
expression of those two magical words to which
belong in the future, and even already at pre
sent, the empire of the world Democracy and
Liberalism. France which, without directly
desiring to do so, has so powerf ully contributed
to the unification of Germany, for beyond the
Alps as beyond the Kblne, she recognizes, re
spects, and salutes with her most ardent sym
pathies, the word nationality.
VII. The philosophy of history shows with
the clearest evidence that certain Ideas prevail
at certain epochs with a certain Inevitable fa
tality. One of the ideas which has most im
passioned and still most impassions our age, is
the idea of association. This maglo breath
which urges on to unity displays itself in its
loftiest expression in political life, properly so
called. There It calls forth, as one of the great
realities, a future yet impossible to define Is
destined to see accomplished, great agglomera
tions by force of their nationality, i. e., by the
lorce of a certain homogeneousness resulting
at once from the origin of the language, from
history, from religious ties, and lastly from
ralpable and practicable interest. The facts
eccompllshed, or in course of accomplishment
in Germany, are Its most powerful expression.
VI ll. France must not, under penalty of prov
ing lalse to the principles that constitute her
greatness and her strength in the world, Inter
fere in I he Internal afTalrs of Germany.
IX. Wh; t would be the probable and almost
certain consequence of an interferenceof France
In the Internal affairs of Germany? 1. The
whole o Germany, not only from the Hhlne to
the Main and the Inn, and from the Inn to the
Danube, Northern Germany, and Boulliern
C-erm any, up to the frontiers of the empire of
Austi la, and, perhaps, nay even probably Ger
mar y beyond those frontiers, on foot for a just
cause; further (this eventually must also be con
sidered) in the second rank, Kussla, which
would not probably allow to pass without pro.
tiling thereby so lavorabie an opportunity io
having by the treaty of 1N6 torn up by the
bands of Central Europe. 2. The abandonment
of the temporal papacy to Garlbaldian dema
gogues, in order to purchase the neutrality of a
Government whose active support would be in
any case of very slight use to us, but whose hos
tility might neutralise a portion of our forces.
X. In a war between France and Germany,
one battle and ten battles, gained or lost, would
never bring about anything but ruses, falsely
called treaties of peace. The Imprudent hand
that should desire to prevent Germany from
remaining or becoming a nation would kludle
a war totally destined to ravage Europe for an
Incalculable period by, so to speak, perlodloal
hecatombs. Many generations yet nnborn
would only appear upon this earth to be, when
arrived at adolescence, mown down upon the
plains of Belgium, the Palatinate, or West
phalia. What a harvest for Death would there
foe In these Enumerable battalions, represent
ing tbe gigantic shock of two great nations in
arms, making generous victims pay for the
fatal error of a day I
XI. The immense majority of the nation will
bless the Chief of France tor giving; to the couu
try not only a peace which in no way offends
onr honor, but further and above all tbe cer
tainly of that peaoe. There exists, we are
aware, among us a small minority which might
blame the pacific tendencies of the Govern
ment. This minority Is composed in part of
tnrbulent and unrenecllug spirits, who con
found vanity with dignity, bravado with cou
rage, the leve of adventure with the wish of
the country. The remainder is made np of
ih ise who blame and always will blame every
thing at all times.
XII. Tne German people, seoured against all
lnteiferenceou our part in its Internal affairs,
Ih destined to become our most faithful ally.
Epn thing unite and nothing separates ns.
XIII. It Is important to add that this pro
gramme, capable ot giving to Europe a long era
of peace and prosperity, can only become a
reality upon three conditions: 1. That tbe Con
vention of Beptember 15, or tbe equivalent we
endeavor to substitute for it, shall be rigorously
r spected, and thai thus the Uoly Father re
mains in that full independence to the exercise
of his supreme pastoral charge. 2. That Franoe,
eattetli'd at Home, does not aspire to relieve
htrself abroad from tr r Internal disquietude.
3. 1 hkiIv, that Europe, desiring peace like our
selves, shall give an irreslttlble and absolute
foan.ntee tf tne fact at a Oonuress by acquies
cing In universal disarmament.
XIV. Tue future and definitive solution of the
Roman question can only be demanded by an
agreement bet wpcu all the powers who are In
terested in not seeing criminal attempts per
haps periodically renewed, preoeded and fol
lowed by agitation as prejudicial to the peace of
consciences as to the prosperous march of ma
terial interests,
XV. France, reassured as to the rate of
Papacy, turns her glance upon herselt. Thecoun
try desires tbe llneral and complete execution
oi tne letter or the lutn or January, ine re
forms it contains will not deprive the Imperial
Government or one of its old friends, and will
give it numerous adherents in the ranks of tbe
young and ardent generation which is free from
all ties toward the Governments which pre
ceded tho populur votes of 1852.
XVI. Hatlsiled at home, sympathizing in the
development of tbe great German nation, an
ever villaut gnardiau ol the l'apacy, France
may now give Europe a Ion era of pence. Hut,
In order that thin peace should not bean srmed
peace more fatal than war. It Is necessary for
Europe to Join in the pact tio views of Franoe,
and for a general disarmament to give I lie
world a inauilest pledge r universal appease
ment. .
NOUTU UERMANY.
OpealBR of tho Prussian l;Wlatre-'
cipeeelk of ltlasr Vlllta.m.
Berlin. Nov. IV the Prussian Onainbers
were opened to day by the King of FruwU iu
ersoB. ills Msjesiy delivered the following
kpet en from the throne:
Illukhlou, noble, ami honored gentlemen of
botn Houses of the iJlel: To-day I salute, lor
ite first ttuie in this place, the representatives
of the new territories which have been united
with my kingdom by the events or a great
epoch. I renew with confidence theexprestttrm
ot my conviction that tbe inhabitants of those
territories, inasmuch as I accept them with my
wbole heart as my people, will also on their
part devote themselves with honorable fidelity
to me and to their extended fatherland. The
full power which the national representa
tion conferred upon my Government to pre
pare tbe way for the entry of the new pro
vinces into tbe constitutional state of things
exlstingln Prussia, han;been taken advantage of
to establish a preliminary equilibrium In those
territories where it appeared to be absolutely
required by the common interests of the mate.
In the new territories, after the views of the
principal Inhabitants bad been ascertained,
district and provincial constitutions, oonnected
as closely as possible with the institutions
already established, and which had become
dear to the population, have been called into
existence, Constitutions which, on being carried
out and further developed, will be calculated
to revive the Interest of the inhabitants in tbe
regulation of their economical affairs, and to
prepare tbe way for the much-to-be-deslred
autonomy of the larger and communal cor
porations. While the military Institutions of
the North German Confederation have, by the
Federal Constitution and by tbe law on liability
to military service, been established on the ap
proved bases of the Prussian Institutions, the
organization of the military forces of the entire
Fatherland has been completed In its prtnolpal
features. The ground for the united efforts of
tbe representatives of my whole monarchy
having been prepared, our Joint and, please
God, unanimous exertions will succeed in
making that ground fruitful.
Honored Sirs Tbe work of national unity
which the Prussian Parliament was called upon
to sanction by its vote has now become a mat
ter of fact. If you have consented to transfer a
portion of your privilege to tbe North German
Parliament, already does the testimony of his
tory bear witness that you have done the right
thing at tbe right time. By the organization
of the North German Confederation tbe Prus
sian people hare acquired additional pledges
of security, and an enlarged field for organic
development, while at the same time conjunc
tion with our fellow-countrymen of the South
German (States, the community or all s iclal in
terests, and an effective protection of all the
higher blesslngsof national exlstenoe.have been
secured. The treaties upon which tbe com
munity of interests rest, have recently at
tained a still greater Importance from the fact
that, while under discussion in the different
Parliaments, tbe national spirit victoriously
maintained itself. The relations of my Gov
ernment with foreign powers have not under
gone any change In consequence of the new
conditions in which Prussia is placed In the
midst of tbe North German Confedera
tion. With a friendly charaoter of those
relations, the personal interviews with
the majority of: the reigning sovereigns in
Germany and abroad, the opportunity for
which was offered me last summer, perfectly
harmonize. The peaceful object of the German
movement Is recognized and appreciated by all
the powers of Europe, and the peaoe ful endea
vors of the rulers are supported by tbe wishes
of the peoples, to whom the increasing de
velopment and amalgamation of spiritual and
material interests makes peace a necessity.
The recent anxiety respecting a disturbance of
peace la one part of Europe, where two great
nations, both most amicably connected with
us, appeared to be threatened by a serious
complication, I may now look upon as
having disappeared. It will be the endeavor
of my Government as regards these difficult
questions which in that quarter still remain
unsolved, on tbe one band to respond to the
claims of my Catholio subjects and to evince
my care for the dignity and the independence
of their Church, and on the other hand to
satisfy tho duties which increase lor Prussia in
consequence of political interests and the later
national relations of Germany. In neither
do I see in fulfilment of the tasks which are laid
before my Government any danger to peaoe.
Let us. then, the more confidently undertake
tbe task of the solution or our internal develop
ment, and may your labors for the welfare of
the Htate be richly blessed.
THE ROMAN QUESTION.
Another Proclamation, toy Maaalal.
M. Mazzlnl has Issued the following address
to his fellow-countrymen:
Italians: Is there a spark of honor In your souls T
Auv aeuse of tilL-nityf A remnant of old Italian
pride? A remembrance of tbe Ittitti which made
your fathers feared, and made theai great T It there
w, prove it, aud prove it quickly.
You are Iu one of those moments which either
make or mar the future of a nation. Your acts will
either bid Knrope regard yoa an a people of cowards,
or bail in you the Italian nation, risen again to teach
tbe world the lesson ol civilization, ot liberty, and of
Iron strenglb or will. Choose; now or nover more.
The situation is clear, incontestable, sad visible
to all.
Borne Is ours. Ood and man declare H. From
Borne we Inherited the language that proclaims us
brothers. Onr history has Its source In Koine; from
ltoniH sprang the tradition that calls us to be auation.
A thotiBuud years ot glorious memories have conse
crated her nioiber of Italy, and centre of our unity.
From Rome we gave law to tbe world; first from tbe
Cfcpllo), aud afterwards from tbe Valloan, once tbe
seat ot life, now profaned by Impotence and Imposture.
Ours has It been proclaimed by the greatest minds ot
Knrope, from Dante to Byron, from Ciesar to Napo
leon; ours by the mariyrs to who, from Crescenzio
and Arualdo to Mamell and Calroll, have died for
her: ours she was declared by tbe Parliament, and, Iu
bypociitlcal homage to the truthby him who is even
yet your log; and ours by tbe aspirations of the en
tire people ot Italy.
A handful of foreign Invaders have descended
upon our shores insolently ui deny this to declare
for tbe second time to you and to all Knrope, Borne
belongs to France; France decides her fate.
ISO country In Kurope would endure such an In
sult. Will you eudure It f Will you permit the
Invaders to proclaim in their despatches: "The
Italians do not fight; we are ttelr uncontested
masters?" -
No, by the soul or Pier Capponl. Ob, Italians! let
the tocsin souud, and let that sound prool .iui a na
tional war to the invaders. .Let anything be said of
fou save that which sinks a nation la tbe m're la
taly both army and people are cowards, But In
order that tbe war may be na'lonal, In order to have
arms, ainniuulllun, money, horses, volunteers, sol
diers, bases ot operation, and landers of proved
fidelity, daring, willlug, and capable, you must first
make your country your own, and tree yourself troru
the Government wblcb dishonors and betrays you.
The war imiBt spring from the Insurrection.
In the face or existing facta, all self-delusion is sia
or folly.
Our monarchy might have had tbe Inltlatl ve starting
from Koine.
It would not.
Our army might have preceded the French to
Rome.
It did rot.
Our monarchy allowed our volunteers to form In
int-uflicienl strength to begin the struggle: then pre
vented them froiti lormlug In sulticieut I'wrce to con
quer. Our monarchy twice Imprisoned Garibaldi ai a
Rebel; tt chose the moment of foreign Intervention to
term a semi-clerical luiutslry, hostile to all liberty;
it dltsolvr d the Committee of Aid: It passed the fron
tier only to render up to the Papal Government those
popu'atlous wbo bad Invoked Italy through tbe
flebisclle: it wltuessed unmoved tbe slaughter of our
lallans; It retired from the positions It had occupied
upon the advance of the French: ll has deuled Koine,
liuly. and the honor of our Hag.
Is there one among you wbo would share our enter
prise w itb tbe monarchy ?
No, s monarchy which begins by yielding up the
sepulchre of I8 ancestors to ihe foreitfuer, aud ends
wfib 5 .'.ma and Cusiuxza, can bring upon yon nought
but evil, perfidy, and shame. Hasten, if voil t"'.'r
set k your couutry s salvation, to separate your late
from It. Freemen now delivered from distrust, and
fvarlug no betray al, throw yourselves resolutely into
tbe triiKgle, ana conquer.
You wlill conquer, by Heaven 1 France numbered,
like ourselves, but twenty-live millions, when In I7U2

We republicans lal nought on cur side but Rome,

N1TR0-GLYCERINE EXI'LOSION.
Additional Particulars of the Terrible
Disaster at South Berea The Killed
stmd Wemmded The Been Yesterday
Preparations for the Coroner's laves
titration. Although the terrible nltro-glycerine explo
sion at Claremont, Bonth Bergen. N. J., oc
curred at a late bour on Monday af tor noon, the
facts published yesterday were so complete
that but few additional particulars have been
gleaned by a later visit to thesoene of the
disaster.
Tbe whole neighborhood adjacent to the site
of the blacksmith shop, where tbe explosion
took place, presents au aspect of ruin and deso
lation. Of the building wherein the explosion
occurred only sufficient to recognize Its location
remains, a deep trench of an elliptical shape,
about four feet in depth, twelve feet In longi
tudinal diameter, and eight feet in width, mark
ing the spot where the can of nltro glyoei lne
stood. The surrounding fields are strewn with
strips of boards, scantlings, and other portions
of the wrecked building, while every bouse
within a radius or two hundred yards shows
signs or the concussion; those near being almost
demolished. Indeed, some Idea or its force may
be gathered rrotu tbe circumstance or a Mr.
Smith, residing about a mile distant, being
awakened from his sleep by Its shock.
Oi the man who was the immediate cause of
the disaster nothing remains but fragments.
He was literally and wituout figure of speech
blown to atoms, numerous parties being en-
f;sged during tbe morning of yesterday in col
ectlng portions of bis body, which were dis
tributed all over tbe country. Bits of flesh not
larger than a lamb chop were thus colleoted,
and added to the mass of composite blood and
charred remains which, collected In a tin pall,
represented all that was mortal of Thomas
Burns. In a neighboring field a dog was ob
served keeping Jealous guard over a blackened
piece of meat which might or might not be a
Jiertlon of tbe unfortunate man. To an unpro.
esslonal observer it was utterly unrecognizable
as to its former belonging, while a deep growl
from the animal If approached too closely, and
a sickening sensation at tbe thought of Its
possible quality, forbade any critical examina
tion. The killed and wonnded were stated correctly
In onr report of yesterday, with these additions.
Two boys named Foster were involved in the
catastrophe. Robert Foster was killed, the boy
Edward escaping :death, though severely in
jured In tbe leg and arm. Besides tbe foreman,
Burns, who waslcompletely annihilated, an
other man of tbe same name was slightly in.
jured by the flying splinters. A woman named
Bcanlan, who was In a house adjacent, was
severely Injured in the legs by the window
being blown in on her; while, singularly, two
men, named respectively VVllliam B. mm
monds and John Houlaghan, who were In the
shed at tbe time of the explosion, esoaped with
comparatively slight injuries. Htmmonds was
hurt In the head by falling timbers, and Is since
stone cleaf,;wbil'HoulagUan had his thigh and
side lacerated, and may have sustained internal
injuries. From the latter we get the following:
STATEMENT OT ONE OT THE SURVIVORS.
Between four and five o'clock In the afternoon
of Monday I went into the blacksmith's shop
for a bolt for the use of the switches, and spoke
to Bimmonds, one of the men there, giving him
directions as to the description of bolt I wanted,
telling him to make naste with It. Looking
across to tbe opposite side of tbe Hreplaoe from
where I was I saw Burns with a large can of oil
between bis legs and a red-hot poker or iron
bar in bis hand. Bimmonds said to me, "Oh,
sure you're always In a hurry," and, catching
me by the shoulder, shoved me towards the
door, about three yards from It. I then took a
step towards the door and immediately heard a
report. Tne next I recollect la hearing 81m
monds say to me, "Ob, Jobn, I am killed I" I
answered him saying, " What did you strike me
for?" I thought be had struck me. We were
both up against an embankment. While I was
in the shed a man named Keliy was at the tire
and the helper at the bellows. The boy Foster
was standing alongside. After I started to
reach my house I was knocked down twioe, I
suppose by falling timber.
A number of the residents of South Bergen
and others visited the scene of the disaster yes
terday, and were not sparing of their denuncia
tion of what they termed the culpable negli
gence exhibited in the storage of this terribly
destructive agent in the immediate neighbor
hood. In a shed near by, tbe door of which it is
tald was unlocked, and one side of which was
only partially boarded, was stored some sixteen
or twenty cans of nltro-Klycerlne.eaoh one con
taining fifty pounds, sufficient almost to blow
the entire Stale of New Jersey into or out of the
Union. As tbls material Is equally liable to
explosion from concussion or compression, as
well as under beat or ignition, some idea of the
danger may be inferred from its exposure. thus
to stray missiles or the blundering interference
of people ignorant of its nature. iV. Y. Herald. '
THE NATIONAL FINANCES.
Important tetter front Hon., If., , J,
Walker lie Recommends IoTnteollate
Htiumptcon of Specie Payments Ha
also Advises the Abolition of the In
ternal Revenue System How Taxation
Can be Reduced.
Tbe Hon. Robert J. Walker, former Secretary
or the Treasury, is preparing, at the request of
his friends, an elaborate letter upon the na
tional finances. It will be remembered that
Mr. Walker advocated Secretary Chase's na
tional banking and financial system in 18(13,
and after that became a law he went to Europe,
by request of Mr. Lincoln and Mr. Chase, as the
financial agent of the siovernment, and caused
our ;loans to be taken, mainly in Germany, to
tbe extent of several hundred millions ot dol
lars. It Is believed that he will in a few days
publish this letter, which we learn is to em
brace the following points:
1. The immediate resumption of specie pay
ments to be effected by a foreign loan, as pro-
fiosed by him in December, 18bl. This, he be-t
leves, can be obtained at par In gold at six per
cent. This would make all our greenbacks
equal to gold, as also our national bank cur
rency, and all deposits in the national bauks,
and put our whoie bonded debt or $2,000,000 000
at par in gold. This, he thluks, would add at
once (1,000,000,000 to the active wealth of the
country as represented by currency and nego
tiable credit, and prevent a collapse. Gover
nor Walker is opposed alike to paper expansion
and contraction, as both necessarily leading,
in his Judgment, to repudiation.
2. An immediate restoration of tbe Union
and the reduction or our expenditures to a
peace basis. These expenditures thus reduced,
Including tbe payment or interest on the pub
lic debt and a very small and gradual reduc
tion of the principal, he thinks ought not to
exceed 9220,000,000 a year In gold. The payment
ot tbe Government expenditures in gold, in.
stead or paper, would be equivalent at once to
80 per cent, reduction of those expenses. Thus,
immediately resuming speole payments and
reducing the expenditures to a sum not exceed
ing 8'JO,000,(H)o a year, be thinks tnat a tariff of
revenue would bring at least 8200,000,000 a year.
Increasing every yeur with our augmented
wealth and population,
8. The immediate abolition of oar whole In
ternal system of taxation, including the lnoome
tax, the tax on sales, stamp tax, aud all otuer
internal taxes, except the excise on wines, fer
mented and spirituous liquors, and tobacco.
Without reduoing the taxes on these articles,
or surrendering their proceeds to fraud aud
rascality, be believes that at least 1120,000.000 a
year could be realized. This would make the
total revenue $341,000,000 )a gold per annum,
which would leave a very large margin, far
more than be thinks is required, bhould
it yield much more than Is wanted, he would
still further reduce tbe taxation by taking
off tbe duties on sugar, tea, and ooixee.
thould there still be a large surplus,
he is in favor of still further reducing or repeal
ing all duties on the necessaries of life not pro
duced In this country. Bhould there still remain
a tnrplus he favors devoting it to great national
works of Internal Improvement, lie thinks, as
he always has. that the raw material of domestic
manufactures should be duty free, and exempt
lroro excise or taxation. , . .
4. Tbe national banking system should be
sustained and improved upon, repealing the
monopoly clause, and leaving all per foot Iv free
lo establish banks wbo will comply with the
laws of Congress, thus giving all seotions ol the
eon n try as large an amount of substantial cir
culating medium as their interests require.

eTICIAL DESPATCH TO TBI EVEHIJIO WLMSAPH.
Njswark, Del., Nov. 277 A, M. We lea
Baltimore In the 8 40 train last night for this
place, with the noisiest crowd wo have been in
for years. They were singing and expressing
great loy at the fight not being abandoned en
tirely. Tbe gronnd selected for the fight is
abont bait a mile from the station. Collyer
stopped over night at Elkton, lid., six miles
south of Newark, and tbe fight will take place
when the principals arrive.
LATXR.
The Sheriff of Nowcastle county arrived here
with his potse, and has soattered the crowd. It
will take a long time to get them together. It
is quite likely that the fight will not take place
in this State. Tbe Sheriff came near catching
Collyer last night at the Station, bat the boys
got Sam out of the way in time.
STILL LATER.
There is no prospect of a fight yet. The
betting stands one handled to forty on Collyer.
Both men have gained much In weight.
Ihere was an immense amount of rowdyism
in this place last night and to-day, and the most
disgraceful icenes were enacted. Several rough-
and-tumble rows occurred, and the citizens
were greatly annoyed by the "pugs." The
Washington House was entirely given over to
the desperadoes, the clerks and guests generally
leaving in terror. The fancy men deolare that
they will have the battle somewhere, as they
have paid for the whistle pretty dearly, and
have bad quite enough disappointment. The
authorities are on the alert everywhere, and
the fight will be prevented, if possible.
Up to noon there was no fight In progress.
and the crowd of roughs has been separated.
and the Sheriff is watching the roughs. It is
understood that the "mill" is to come off some
where this afternoon, but nothing Is known of
tbematter positively.
BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS,
Newark. Del.. Nov. 27. Two trains left Balti
more last evening crowded to overflowing tvitti
roughs and others interested in tbe projected
fight between Collyer and Kelely. On tbelr
arrival here there was much disorder, conse
quent upon tbe sudden irruption of so many
strangers, and numerous fights occurred grow
ing out or quarrels regaraing me two cuam-
Blons. The Sheriff made two attempts to arrest
ollyer, but his friends managed to get him off,
and he and Kelley went to Elkton, Where they
spent tbe night. A portion of the crowd took
possession oi tne wasnington Hotel, where
tbey sheltered themselves during the night.
The residents shut np their bouses; and the
mob were unable to obtain quarters, and great
numbers spent the nlgbt lying about under the
fences and in sheds aud outhouses. Early tbls
morning the crowd assembled at the spot
selected for the fight, about a mile from the
railroad station, but the Sheriff appeared with
his posse and caused a scattering, so that it is
doubtful whether tbe principals can obtain an

very kindly treated by the sports In this city
since his arrival, and to-night bad a grand ova
tion during a sparring exhibition, at which

FROM FORTRESS MONROE.
Bfysterlous Murder of tt Colored Man
Tbe Oyster Trade of Virginia, Changes
In tbe Qosport Navy Yard, Etc.
Fortress Monroe, Nov. 25. A colored man
named Jack Williams was murdered last nlgbt,
in Hampton, under very mysterious circum
stances. A s near as I can ascertain, the fuots of
tbe case are as follows: Williams keeps an eat
ing saloon, and has a house which he rents to a
family named Prentice. Williams' wife Is
living with a family iu Baltimore, while Mrs.
Prentice bas a husband, who at present is ab
sent. Some persons allege that Williams was
bothering Mrs. l'reutice about the rent of tbe
house, while others are of the opinion that tbey
were living together as man and wire. Be that
as it may, Williams' body was round In front of
the house occupied by Mrs. Prentioe in a shock
ing condition. His face was frightfully dis
figured, aud looked as though the deed had been
done with a dull axe.
It is said that blood was found upon the floor
Of the house occupied by Mrs. 1'rentlce, and
also upon some of her clothing; but she claims
lo have been sound asleep the entire nlgbt, and
to bave known nothing whatever of the affair
until this morning. She bas been arrested on
suspicion, and will be held until further de
velopments show who was the real perpetrator
of tbe horrible crime.
Tbe three small steamers for the use of the
Oyster Inspectors of this District, wbich are
being built in Kichusond, are, rapidly approach
log completion, and will be ready for use in a
few days. These boats are each sixty feet in
length, with a beam of thirteen feet, and have
a depth of bold of five and a hair feet. Tbey are
forty tons each, tblrty horse power, aud the
wheels are five feet in diameter. Tbe boats are
said to be models or neatness, and are named
tbe Tredegar, William F. Taylor, and Virginia,
and will be commanded by the chief inspootor
and ibree deputies, William H. O. Lovitt, iOsq.,
Captain Spotlswood, of Norfolk, and William
l'eed, of Accomao.
Tbe oyster trade is a vast source of revenue to
tbe f tale, and her Interests will be well proteoted
by these gentlemen. It Is estimated tbat an
average of twenty thousand bushels of oysters
are daily shipped from Norfolk alone, aud as
tbe weather becomes cooler this business will
increase.
Tbe following changes bave been made at the
O os port Navy Yard: Assistant Surgeon Ueorge
S. Fife bas been detaobed from the sloop-of-war
Portsmouth and placed on waiting orders. Third
Assistant Engineer H P. Howell has resigned.
Midshipman U L. Phillips has beeu ordered to
the Piicauqua.
