Gen. Pierce and the New Boston Speech.
Gen. Pierce, in a letter to Mr. De Leon, one
of the editors of the late Southern Press, de
nies the truthfulness of the report published
in the Independent Democrat and Manchester
Democrat, of his speech at Ne\v Boston. He
says of it—
The pretended report is, and I presume
J ■was designed to be, an entire misrepresenta
tion, It is not merely untruthful, but is so
grossly and absurdly false as to render, in
this vicinity, any denial of its authenticity en
tirely unnecessary.
This, says the Baltimore American, raises
a direct question of veracity between Gen.
Pierce and the editors of those papers, and
Mr. Foss, the reporter; the latter having sub
stantiated the correctness of his report by a
J legal affidavit. The value of Gen. Pierce's
denial is greatly lessened by the fact that
though the report of his speech appeared in
January last, he has not, until now, and only
now when directly addressed on the subject,
given any authoritative or public denial of its
correctness. It is natural to suppose that if
he is as strong a Compromise man as his
friends represent him, and therefore opposed
to everything having the least leaning to ab
olitionism or freesoilism, a report, which at
tributed to him sentiments so entirely oppo
site to those he reaily entertained, would have
been instantly met by a prompt and indignant
! denial, through a channel as public as that
which put the alleged slander afloat. This
not having been done, and a tardy denial
having only now been made when an ulterior
object other than the vindication of liis own
character is to be served by it, the friends of
Gen. Pierce must not be surprised if his de
nial does not receive that general credit that
it might claim under more favorable circum
stances.
The Norfolk News gives another specimen
of the style in which the war is carried on
li'/aim t General Scott by some of the Demo
cratic papers:
" Had I the power, i wouid erect a gallows
I upon every wharf in the city of New York,
and hang every J—d Irishman as fast as they
come on shore."
"Mr. Matthew L. Davis made the above de
claration in Washington, on hearing of a
democratic victory in New York. lie is a
supporter of Scott."
Now, this wiil go tire rounds, and, having
been once printed in a democratic paper, wiil
never be retracted or contradicted therein,
though the fact is to it Matthew L. Dacis ha*
been lying in his grave in Trinity Churchyard,
New York, these two years!

The Detroit Tribune says that at a Scott
Club, formed last week, not over twenty miles
from Detroit, TWENTY-THREE Democrats,
who had up to that time, voted the democratic
2® 1 ,
ticket, came boldly forward and registered
their names amongst its list of members.
Among the officers of the Detroit Scott Club,
are three of the most prominent democrats in
the State. We refer to Gen. Williams, Gob
O'Calahan, and Major Kearslev.
A Scott Ciub has been formed in Lysander,
Onondaga county, New York, consisting of
twenty-five members, all of whom voted
against the Whigs at the late Presidential
election.

and David Carson, heretofore democrats, but
who now declare themselves against \\ alpole,

The extensive flouring mil! of Win. M.
Henderson, one mile north of Carlisle, was
entirely destryei by fire on Monday. The
tire broke out in the fourth story, about noon,
and is supposed to have originated from the
friction of the machinery. The storehouse
adjoining was also burnt, and, with the mill,
contained from 6000 to 8000 bushels of grain.
Mr. Henderson's loss is about 825,000. He
was only partly insured.
BURGLARY. —On Friday night last, Mr. Ja-
Icob Snyder's Clothing Store was entered, and
clothing to the amount of 5316 taken. Six
coats were recovered yesterday—they were
found hid in John Snyder's haymow. There
is some suspicion that the thieves are on their
way east with the balance of the goods.

i Sudden Death. —About six o'clock, on
Thursday evening, the lifeless body of Mr.
Edward Tipton, a well known and respectable
citizen of Baltimore, was found in the woods
in the vicinity of the camp meeting at Wa
ter's carnp ground, about 11 miles from the
city on the Hookstuwn road. As there were
no marks of violence discovered upon the
corpse it was supposed death had resulted
from a fit—the deceased having for some time
past been subject to that form of affliction.
Mr. T. was a member of the Methodist Epis
copal Church, and had been attending the
camp meeting during the day in the enjoy
ment of usuai good health. — Baltimore Amer

Fearful Occurrence at. a Coal Mine.-—On
Friday evening last the roof of one of the
drifts of Moore's coal mine at the foot of
Plane No. 5 A. P. K. K. fell in, penning up
"Win. Maher and John Canty in the bowels of
the mountain, some 200 yards from daylight.
It closed up to within about 15 feet of where
they were working, and in this narrow cell
they remained imprisoned until noon the
next day, when they were liberated by a pas
sage opened from another drift. Immediate
ly on receiving information that the rool Lad
fallen, the laborers at all the other mines in
the neighborhood repaired to the scene of the
disaster, and pressed the work for the libera
tion of the men without cessation until their
delivery was aSLcv.vl.—Eollidayjburg Begis

2 The London Press generally favor the
- English interpretation of the treaty of' 1818;
> but blame the administalion for not giving
1 previous notice of their intention to enforce
it. The subject is creating some anxi
| etv.
A rumor is current in England, that
• j France is about to call a meeting of the
1 maritime powers of Europe, to protest a
- j gainst the aggressions of die United States
i | against Mexico.
i France. —The French Ministry has,
t in addition to the appointment of Fould,
j I as Minister of State, been otherwise xriod
. | ified.
It has been decided to have no review

„ The conference between France and
Belgium has been resumed.
It is reported that the French have bom
• barded and taken possession of Tripoli.
Belgium. —A telegraphic despatch from
• Ostein!, states that the Belgian States Gen
- ! eral has decided to reject the Commercial
! treaty made with France.
Prussia. —The Cholera has been caus
ing dreadful ravages in Posen.
i 'l*lie treatv concluded between Prussia,
Austria and Russia against the pretensions
of Louis Napoleon, has been published,
and forms the subject of much comment
.| by tile press. The conclusions of the pow
i ersenjfieed in the treaty are thus expressed:
In the case that the Prince Louis Bona
parte, present President of the French Re
public. should get himself elected by uni
versal suffrage as Emperor for life, the
powers will not recognise thai new
I form of elective power till after explana
tions shall have been .demanded from
Prince Louis B maparie as to tue sense
and meaning of his new title, and after he
shall have taken an engagement —first, to
j respect the treaties; secondly, not to en
deavor to extend liie territorial limits of
France; and thirdly, formally to renounce
all pretensions to the continuation or found
ing of a dynasty.
In the case that the Prince Louis Bo
j naparte should declare himself hereditary
Emperor, the powers will not recognise
the new Emperor, and will address to the
French Government, as well as to all the
other European Governments, a protest
founded on the principles of public law
and on the letter of the treaties. Thev
will afterwards consult, according to the
I circumstances, as to the ulterior measures
which they may think it neccessary to
take, lit the case that a popular or mili
tary movement should overturn tiie Gov
ernment of Prince Louis Bonaparte, or
simply in the case of the death of that
; personage, l>>e powers bind and oblige
themselves to aid and favor by ali means
in their power the restoration of the legiti
mate heir of the crown, and in the sequel
they will recognise no other dynasty but
that of the Bourbons, and no other clairn
, anlbut M. Count de Chatnbord.
In acting thus, they protest beforehand
, against the imputation of wishing to attack
the independence of France. France is
Irce to organise her internal government
as she chooses, and tlie powers do not re
ject the sv-um called constitutional any
more than they reject any other system.
But the recognition of legitimate and
hereditary royalty does not interest France
alone; :• interests all European States, it

From California.
I lie San Francisco dates brought by the
steamers Illinois and Northern Light are
to the 16lli July, l'hiinews, though two
j weeks later, is not of any special import
ance. At Mariposa serious difficulties had
arisen between the Americans and the Mex
! icans and French, and a pitched battle took
place, involving the death of one man and
the wounding of a number. Whilst the
: opposing parties were preparing lor an
other and more desperate encounter the
French Consul interposed, and his good
ofhees were effectual in preserving the
| peace and restoring a proper understand
ing. Indian depredations continued to
prevail, and the papers are occupied with
the details of murders, duels, hostile ren
countres, lynching, &c. We take from
our files a few paragraphs:
One ot the most splendid specimens of
golJ ever brought to San Francisco, was
dug ai \ iacita, Calaveras countv, bv the
present owner, Mr. Durham. Its weight
is somewhat over twenty-six pounds, and
with the exception of 'a few speeks of
quartz, which can be removed with a
knife, the lump is a solid mass of pure
gold. This was found sixty feet below
the surface in a drift of nearly thirty feel
from the main hoie. Those prophets who
shake their wise heads and assert that the
mines are 'giv ing-out,' would do well to
, look at this delicate little ' eliispa,' and al
j tcr their opinions. Its value is about
$5,400.
< On the Bth of July, the San Francisco
| Herald, published eleven days later intelli
gence from Europe and eight days later
from the United Slates, received via New
Orleans, Vera Cruz, City of Mexico, and
Aeapolco, in advance of the mails ; the first
occurrence of the kind since the possession
of California by the Americans.
The Fourth of July was celebrated in
San Francisco, with great spirit, by a long
procession, oration, fire-works, Ac. Con-1
i spictious in the procession was a long line
of Chinese, richly dressed, and bearing a
huge national banner of crimson silk, upon
which was emblazoned in golden embroid
ery, the royal dragon. They are said to
have expended $12,000 in getting up their
portion of the procession.
The Chinese continued to arrive in San
Francisco, in great multitudes. Nearly
4000 had reached the city within a fort
night. They stopped but a short time,
and made their way at once to the mines.
The hostility of the miners towards them
appeared to be abating, as few reports were
received of their expulsion from the mines.

The total export of coin from the port of
Now York, since the first of January last,
amounts to $16,755,072. The receipts from
j California in the same time, exceed twenty-five
I millions. This looks very well on paper, says
the Ledger, but it should be remembered that
what California is sending back is but part of
a large debt due the Atlantic cities. It is not
allclcar gains. We should notbuildtoo large
ly upon it. It should also be remembered,
that we are all the time sending to Europe a
very large amount of bonds, of one sort or an
other—that these will take annually a goodly
proportion of our cotton, corn and pork, to
j pay the interest accruing on them, and some
; day or other, perhaps not very distant, a part
i of them may be sent home for payment of the
principal. It is true, many of them do not
| fall due for some years yet, which relieves the
party issuing them from any present concern
i altout them; still they may be thrown on this
market for sale, which, so far as the retention
: of coin in the country is concerned, amounts
to the same thing as if due and payable. The
i proceeds of the sale goes abroad, and as the
European creditor never takes our paper mon
i ey, goes abroad in coin.
