The scene in the court during the trial of W-.S. Land, in Princess Anne county, Va., caused by the wife of the prs ner tearing ap & letter which she had written, and the contents of which directly contradicted her oral testi- mony in court, will be remembered. Tue Nor- folk Argus publishes the letter in full. It is written to ber brother, and she requests bim to show it to the people of Princess Anne if her husband was not acquitted, a8 a vindication of her character. She says in it that on the 16th of June she discovered that her husband was unfaithful to her, and, on ropresebice him, he replied by charging her with infidelity. The letter goes on: He said he believed that Mr. Flannagan was the man that had wronged him, and I told him that Mr. Flannagan bad always treated me with kindness, and never said anything di :respectful to me in his life. It seemed that Walter was almost insaiie. He was walking and throwing himself all about the house. On the 17th, in the morning, I started to go to Mr. Flannxgan’s to tell his wife of my troubles, but he would not let me go, and he caught up his gun and loaded it. Panes him what he intended todo, buat he made no reply. After he loaded the gun he sat down, and [ sat in his lap and told him that I was a virtuous girl, and was sur- prised at him thinking otherwise. I told him I would forgive him for his conduct towards me. Jie sat in the house sometime, and then kissed me and wentout. [asked him where he was going, and he said ‘in the field.”” It was late in the evening before he came back, and he brought mea piece of paper. Said he had been to see H. M. Woodhouse, and said I had to sign my name to the paper fora di- vorce. or he intended to kill Flannagan. [ told him that I would not sign it, beeause I was vir- taous, and did not intend to tell a falsehood for him. He said he was glad that I would not sign it; but I did not think he was in earnest about Mr. Flannagan. I wrote sister Margi- ret a note, but he would not let me send it or ge out of doors; so I did not know what he in- tended to do. He went to bed quiet that night, but he would not talk to me. Neither did he eat anything for four days and nights. He got up very early next moraing, but did pot go out of the house. I saw him talking to Laura at the door, but thought he was telling her what work todo. I sat down to my work, and it was not long before I saw Mr. Flanna- ganatthefront door. Laura asked him in, and he had just taken bis seat when Walter took up his gun and shot him. I screamed, ran out and fainted, and when I came to I found myself behind the kitchen. Laura car- ried me there and laid me ona plank. I did not know that Walter had sent for Mr. Flan- nagan. Whilst lying behind the kitchen, Walter etme to me and told me that he was dead, and said, “Amie, for God's sake, what chall I do.”’ Itold him to kill me and then kill himself; but he would not agree to this, and said if I would make a confession and state that Mr Flanna- gan had seduced me, it would clear him. I told bim I would be telling a lie, and he said if I did not write the confession he would be hung, so I wrote it reréatim, as he wished it. He took the confession and carried it to H. M. Woodhouse, who advised him to leave, and he came home and told me to get ready, as he was going to Norfolk. He was as kind to me as ever, after he saw H. M. Woodhouse, and when I got to Norfolk I told him that I had rather stay and let him go, and after he got out of danger I would come to him; but he would not agree to it. He was as kind to me as be vould be all the time. I heard from him several times whilst he was a fugitive, also when he was in Carolina; and we intended to meet in the Western country, where he would go toa place of safety to live. I was ready and would have started in a few days if he had not been retakon. This is all true, and I wish it to be shown after the trial. if he is not ac- quitted. Your affectionate sister, Amie S. Lanp. The Ar; s also states that before his depar- ture for the penitentiary, Land made his will and left all of his estate to his wife during her life-time, and afterwards to his uncle, and also he declared that the statements made by her in the letter, which she wrote to her brother, were true. +02 Interesting Letter from President Buchanan. The following letter to the President of the New York Chamber of Commerce was read be- fore that body at its regular monthly meeting on Thursday, and referred to the Committee on Reprisals: Wasntncton, Mareh 31, 1860. -My Dear Sir: Your favor of the 5th inst., enclosing the able and interesting report and resolutions of the Chamber of Commerce of New York in favor of “the perfect immunity” (from capture) of all private property upon the ocean in time of war. was duly received and referred to the State Department. It hassince oceurred to me that the respect so eminently due to the Chamber requires that I should ad- dress you a few remarks in answer. Wer is a dreadful calamity, shocking to bu: manity, and ought to be avoided by ali honor- able means; but, whilst mankind continue in their present state, it will sometimes be inevi- table. If, with the small but gallant naval foree of this country, we should be driven into a war with a nation possessing a navy far more numerous and powerful than our own, we should then be in @ comparatively helps condition without the aid of privatcers. We might with almost as much propriety agree to abandon our system of volunteer militia, and trust alone to the regular arms for our defence on the land, as to deprive ourselves of the ser- vices of privateers, which are our volunteers and militia upon the ocean. teers may be strictly guarded from abuses b law, and be restrained within the rules whic! govern our regular navy. Neither would the abandonment of war against private property upon the ocean, of itself, afford press oth pets! Penge to our com- merce. In order to accomplish this object we uust proceed a step farther and obtain the consent of the powerful naval nations that merchant vessels shall not be blockaded in port, but be suffered to pass the blockadin, squadron and go out to sea. If these should remain blockaded in our harbors there would be comparatively but little private property in the ocean to protect. A powerful fleet, by blockading the mouth of the Chesapeake, could effectually prevent any merchant vessel ey going —_— from any port in that ae ay or its tributaries. Soin regard to New York. New Orleans, &e., &c. a If the proposition to abolish war against pri- vate property on the ocean were combined with a proposition to secure to merchant ves- sels ‘ect immunity from blockade in any port. then the subject would be well worthy of serious consideratirn.

Doctor Josiah Campbell, who lived for many years on the Western Reserve, in Ohio, was a most skillful physician, but withal one of the most eccentric and absent-minded persons in the world, except Mar; aret, his wife, and she was fully his equal. One summer morning the Doctor was caught out ina tremendous shower, which drenched him to the skin. It soon cleared off, however, and Doctor Josh rode into bis own yard, where he took the dripping sad- dle from his horse and let him go nrift into the pasture. The saddle ho placed on a stout log of wood which was elevated some four feet from the ground on two posts, where the Doc- r had begun to build a platform to dry peaches on. After Lette 3 got his saddle fixed so it would dry, he took the bridle, and, putting the bit over the end of the log, he stretched out the reins, and hitching them to the horn of the saddle, went in to change his wet clothes and get breakfast. Josiah, Jr., and Margaret, Jr.. were away from home ona visit, and so the twoseniors sat down together to the morning meal. When they were about half through, Jim Atwood, a farmer, who lived about eight miles distant came in, telling the Doctor he wished that he would go over to his house, as he reckoned he might be wanted over there, and then went off to the village in a hurry after some necessary “ fixins.”’ When the Doctor finished his breakfast he took his saddle-bags, and out be went into the yard, where he de iberately mounted his sad- die and set out, in imagination, for Jim At- wood's. .For along time he rode on in silence, with his eyes intently fixed on Buchan’s Practice, which Iay open on the saddle before him. At length he began to feel the effects of the fierce rays of a midday sun, and looking up from his k, he discovered a comfortable-looking house close by, upon which he sang out lustily for a drink of water. Aunt Margaret, who had been for the last two hours very busy in the garden, soon made her specaenes with a pitcher of milk, and after the thirsty stranger had taken a long draught, they entered into conversation, the Doctor launching into rapturous praises of the scenery about the place, the neatness of the building, the fine orchard of peach and apple trees; and the lady,who had caught a glimpse of the sad- dle-bags, made a groat many inquiries about the health of the neighborhood, etc. The Doctor finally took leave of the lady, saying that ho would cell on his return and have some further conversation with her, as she reminded him xo much of his wife, who he was sure would be very happy to make her ac- quaintance. The lady turned to enter the house, and the Doctor had just gathered up the reins. when Jim Atwood dashed up to the gate, with his horse in a latherof foam “What on airth are you doing, Doctor?” yelled Jim; *‘get off that log and como along.” The Doctor was greatly astovished at first, but after a few minutes it got through his hair that he had been all the morning riding a beech log in his own door yard! American ESterprise 1x AvstRAu Coacnes Carrying Sixty PASSENGERS new railroad has lately been opened in Austra- lia, and although of local importance, it is an earnest of what may be. Su far. however, but little progress has been made in Australia, in the way of railroads, attention having been chiefly devoted to the improvement of common roads,and in this we are glad to see that Yankes enterprise has had a hand. One of the Austra- lian correspondents writes home to England that “our road and coach traveling is really in a very perfect condition. We owe this entirely to American enterprise, aided, no doubt, by the large expenditure on roads in the last six or seven years. We have now three great lines of macadamized roads, equal to the best Eng- lish roads; one from Geelong to Ballarat, fifty- four miles; two from Melbourne to Castlemaine, seventy-six miles, and partially thence to Sand- Puree Bendioa,) and three from Melbourne to Broadford, fifty miles, towards Beechworth. The coaches from Geelong to Ballarat accom- plish the distance in six hours and @ quarter. The coaches are built on the American model, and have been annually increasing in size until they have acquired monstrous dimensions. On the Castlemaine road there is a monster coach carrying fifty. Here, then. we have Americans leading even in that old English art of stage coaching. i> What is the matter? The following des- th, dated New Orleans, April 7, indicates ‘ouble in the camp of the K.

Herald correspondent gives the follow- ing sketch of a scene between a witness and the investigating committee. Mr. Butterworth was under examination, and before the testi- mony was signed, he addressed himself to Mr. Train from Massachusetts, thus : “Sm: In the course of this investigation you propounded to me questions personally offensive. You, in effect, asked me to state if Thad not bargained with the President and bartered my principles to retain my place. In order that no unjust inferences might be drawn from a refusal, I consented to answer the ques- tion. I regard this asa personal insult, and one to which I do not intend quietly to submit. I now give youan opportunity to withdraw the question. “Mr. Train—I did not intend to insult you, Sir. I was requested to ask the question, and did so simply to ascertain if the President has used any improper influences in the matter. “Mr. Butterworth—You had no right to Propound sn impertinent question to me to gratify the malignancy of cowardly slanderers. f you had ventured such a query in the street, I should have resented the insult on the spot; and I do not intend to permit any member of this committee to shield himself behind his official position to escape a just personal re- sponsibility. ‘‘Mr. Olin (member of the Committec )—I do not agree witn you. Sir, that you have a right to hold any member personally sponsible for the discharge of his official duties; and, so far asI am concerned, I do not intend to be in- timidated by threats. “Mr. Butterworth.—I make no threats. I state a fact, and I now submit the matter to the action of the Committee. My action will be determined by yours. “Mr. Covode.—I see no objection to the with- drawal of the question, and answer also; ,but you had better let the testimony stand until the Gemmittee close their labors, and this can be left out of the printed report. ‘To this Mr. Butterworth assented, and the affuir was thus amicably adjusied.” ee ee ee I One would suppose the Florence correspon- dent of the Boston ‘Transcript was describ Brignoli : ~ Tradition depicts the genus tenor as ananimal with two lecs that won't go, two arms that don’t HO, a body Inclined to corpulency that can’t go, with a voice that Is frequently “no go,”” massa. cred hair, parted down the middle, ‘elaborately waxed monstaches constituting the prominent feature of an impassive face—an animal whose only aim in life seems to consist in maintaini F4 the most supreme and insane indifterenee toward a soprano breaking her heart in behalf of this nn- natural lover whose cara sposa she is or ought to be.

Person, son of the late Mr. Amos Pearson, had fallen dead inthe Gymnasium. It appears he was not a member of the gymnasium, but was present by invitation of some young friends, and had en- tered actively into their exercises. Though of only some sixteen years, and from rapid growth not solidly knit together, his first experiment at lifting was to raise four hundred pounds dead weight. Hethen puton the gloves and sparred with another lad about his own ; when he ‘went ‘across the room, and, withou' uttering a word, fell down and expired. We hear that young Pearson has been subject to ‘palpitation of the heart, and it is probable that he died from some organic disease.”’ UF-The Toronto Daily Globe says, concerning the visit of the Prince of Wales: ‘The ministry announced last night that the Prince of Wales would propably leave England it the 10th of July—certainly not earlier. This is not so good a time for seeing the country as June or August.
