The Bigler-Broderick Flare-up in the U. 8. Senate. It will be remembered that a collequy took place in the Senate, some months ago between . Senators Douglas and Bigler, im which the latter attempted te convict the former of being a party to a scheme for bringing Kansas inte the Union without submitting the Constitution to the people. The Pennsylvania Senator signally failed in his attempt at that time. The question was again brought up in the Senate on the . 13th of March, during the absence of Mr. Douglas, when a passage took place between Senators Bigler and Broderick, a sketeh of which will be of interest : Mr. Bigler here rese, considerably excited, and. amid much confusion, occasioned by Senators requesting Mr. Wade to go en, said he regretted that a personal defense of himself had again been foreed upon him. What he said when this question came up some weeks ago, he now repeated. He did not say that the destined proposition of submission of the econstitation te the people was discussed, but did say, on the occasion referred te, that the impression was conveyed to his mind that the intention of Mr. Toombs’ bill was to bring Kansas into the Union by one popular vote, that oue being the vote for delegates to a eonvention. Mr. Bigler again referred to his integrity, saying he ro resented a proud and neble people. . He reiterated the statement that the impression left on his mind was clear, that Kansas was to be brought ia with one vote, and that the constitution was not to be submitted to the people. Mr, Wilson ef Mass., asked the Senator if he did not make a speech last summer on Kansas, advocating the submission of the Constitution to the people. Mr. Bigler—That “is very pertinent. I have not been in the habit of making speeches on Kansas. Once I did address the peeple on Kansas, when . said the Censtitution should be submitted to a vote, but had no question in view except that of cagity 6 Mr, Broderick of Cal. moved that Mr. Douglas be sent fer, or that the Senate adjourn the further consideration ef the subjeet uatil Monday. He remembered very well the circumstances when this matter came up before. The Senator from Pennsylvania then said that he did not have a very distinct recollection ef it, but theught such a discussion as alluded to had taken place, when the Senator from Illinois distinctly denied it. Mr. Bigler—He did not. Mr. Broderiek—My impression, sir— Mr. Bigler—Your impressions are wrong, sir; he was careful and guarded in the statements he made. The Senator from California seeks to place this matter in a false view before the Senate. Mr. Brederiek—My memory must be very treacherous if the Senater from Pennsylvania is correct. He hoped the Senate would adjourn, and when the Senator from Illinois is in his place, we shall kuow whether the Senater from He theught, from the tremor the Senator exhibited when he rose, that he was about te take back all he said.

A New Bill for the Admission of Kansas, It being generally believed that the House of Representatives will never agree to admit Kansas under the Lecompton Censtitatiou, Hon. Wm. Montgomery of Penn., has reported a bill which he was to have submitted to the House . at the first opportunity, aud which, it is said, can be passed. As, in the present condition of of things at Washington and thtoughout the country, itis a bill of some importance, we make the following synopsis: Section 1. Authorizes the Governor of the . Territory of Kansas te convene an extra session . of the Legislature, and empowers the Legisla. ture thos convened to apportion the Territory . into sixty districts, frem whieh delegates to a convention shall be elected te assemble at such time and plaee as the Legislature may provide, to amend the Lecompton Censtitution, and the instrument thus amended shall be submitted to the people. Sections 2, 3, 4and 5, provide that the delegates before taking their seats shall be swora to support the Constitution of the United States —declare the boundaries of Kansas for the purpose of the election—impose stich usual conditions iw relation te the publie lands—and give to the Territery one Representative in Congress Terrible Tragedy in the Miinos Penitentiary. The Alton, (Illinois) Courier, of March 9th gives the partieulars of a desperate attempt made by a convict in the Penitentiary at that place to escape. The account is as follows: “A convict named Hall, from Chieage, who is new Peni euta second term, formed the idea ot acquiring his liberty in the following methed: He watched his opportunity shortly after breakfast, and when no other guard was in the nall surrounding the cells, exeept Mr. Crabb, whom he knoeked down and stunned by a severe blow on the head, then dragged him into one of the lower cells, tied Crabb’s hands behind his back, he fastened the cell door by means of a stick of ‘timber, previously put in the cell by some confederate, then drew a huge knife from his bosom, assisted Crabb to rise, put him against the door, and threatened him with death unless he was allowed to go at liberty. The most daring attempt was soon known, and promptly brought Col. Buckmaster.and his uards to the spot. The conyict threatened abb with instant death if any attempt was . made upon the door, holding his knife within a couple of inches of Crabb’s breast. For-upwards ef an heur Cel. Buckmaster and_ his until the next general census. Section 6. Declares that if the Convention . shall not propose and approve amendments te . guards watched an opportunity to shoot him, but there being buat one opening in the doer, and that quite small, he kept Crabb constantly P the Convention, then the.said Lecompton Conthe Lecempton instrument—or if the people . between him and the opening, #o that he could shall not approve of the ameudments made by . only be reached through Crabb’s body. Thus matters continued until noon, when stitution shall be and.remain the fundamental! Crabb made some efforts to open the door, but law of the State of Kansas; but if the Conven-. was immediately cut wih i the band by tion and people shall approve #f amendments . the convict. During the day convict stated which are republican, then'they shall become . his terms of submission te be a revolver, loaded part of the instrument, and the State shall be . by himself, a full suit of citizens’ dress, $100 in Senator from California to describe the manner . (referring to his, Mr. Bigler’s, tremor) in which . he made his explanation, Mr. Broderick owed it te the Senate and to the Senator from Iilinois, to state that, some days sinee, when it was understood that the . Senator from New Hampshire intended to allude to this matter, the Senator frem Illinois intimated he would denounce the statement en . this floor as a falsehood, if the Semator did not . qualify it.

The Vice President reminded the Senators to keep within the limits of debate. Mr. Bigler—The Senator from Illinois never said any such thing. He isnot a man who would de so. Denounce what, sir, asa falsehood ?—the impression on my mind that Kansas . was to be admitted without a popular vote? Mr. Broderick—The Senator from Illinois is sick in bed. If ever he takes his seat again the Senator (Bigler) will be replied to. Mr. Broderick then moved to take up the private bills, but a motion prevailed to adjourn till Monday. . On Monday, the 15th, Mr. Broderick said he ' had seen Mr. Douglas, who had intended to be . here to-day, but who was still prevented from sickness. While he (Broderick) was up he would refer te the cerrespendence of the New York Jicrald which represented him (Broderick) as having been rebuked for a by the le did net thiak iich (ne market ef San Francisco can afford, and no ex. never would, for he tried te conduct himself like a Senator. He branded the writer as a He éaid he called attention tg the matter lest other gentlemen might have been misrepresented. Mr. Bigler, said be rose simply to set himself right in referenes to the debate of Saturday, not to account for a newspaper paragraph. He . knew nothing about it, and of course no Sena. tor is responsible for what is said in newspa. pers. There was scarcely a day he did not see some uvaccountable statement in them. But . he felt itdue to himself to say, that he came into the chamber, on Saturday, after the question te which he then referred to had been in . some way suggested, he spoke, he said, uuder mistaken apprehensions as to what had been said. He was now satisfied that if he had been in his seat he should not have been required to notice what passed. He would make an additional remark as regards the Senator and him. self. He certainly was net sensible of making any attack upon him, or of saying what could be understood as offensive. He rose for the purpese of defending himself against what he . thought was an imputation on what he had previously said upon the unpleasant topic under . consideration. He was not disposed, in the absence of the Senatar from Illinois (Douglas), te say anything on this, or any other qnestion, . (Bigler) felt satisfied that when that Senator and himeelf discussed the questien under consideration, if they ever did discuss itor any other, the Senator frem California, would be convinced that we are each controlled by henorable bearing and manly motives. They had, he continued, a difference of opinion on: the subject, but he did net know that they had anything more unpleasant. He did not intend to be offensive to the Senator from Illinois, in his absence; but to say what he thought was jas tice to himself. admitted under it. A Harp Hir.—In a speech, in the British House of Commons, Mr. Roebuck revived a piece of history, regarding the Napoleonic danasty, which reads rather awkwardly at the present time. Louis, through his official gazeete, atigmatized England as giving shelter to assassins, and to this insult Mr. Roebuck thus replies: That he, too—he, of all men upon earth— should dare to insult England—he who has partaken of our hospitality, who has been sheltered by our fostering power. What, after all this. has he dene? Oh, he sets a bright example to England. There was a man who conspired to ki}l England’s great hero, the late Duke of Wellingtoa—(hear ,hear)—there was another man, who was great, butfallen in his greatuese —and no one act of his life was, I think, so thoroughly inconsistent with that greatness as his leaving a legacy to the man who had attempted to assassinate the Duke of Wellington. (Hear, hear.) The only explanation of, the only excuse fer, that deed, was that the great Napeleon’s mind was shaken to ite foundation, I do not believe that he would, in his right senses, have perpetrated so infamous an act. But that man, who has received the protectien of England, who has come here after attempting crime after crime agafust his native land, that man when he had elimed to the height of power at which he has now arrived, what did he do} but pay to this intending assassin the wages of his intended dirty deed? The man (Cantillon) is now living in Paris, and it was publicly and . ostentatiously announced that the present Em. peror of the French had paid him the legacy which was left him by the great Napoleon for attempting to cut off the Duke of Wellington. When these panegyrics are thus profusely scattered in the English House of Commons ovgr the head ef Louis Napoleon, I hope the House . will recollect this fact. Purcuask or Sonora.—A Californian now ia New York, who has visited Washington City, . writes as follows : . There are parties of influence from Califernia and Arizona, now at Washington, urging the purchase by our Gevernment of the State of Sonora, Mexico, and there is ne doubt that the Administration will buy it. Negotiations are now progressing with that view. I know that Mexico has preposed to sell, for that country is of no use to her, it being everrun by the } and taken out in the manner stated, money, and to be driven out of town in a close carriage asco mp soit by Crabb, to such a place as he should designate; all of which were of course inadmissible. Yo the meantime, however, Colonel Buckmaster procured a pardon from the Governor, te be used in his discretion; but up to twelve o’clock last night no Information of it had been given to the convict. All day the guards were on the watch to shoot the scoundrel, but as he had positively declared he would kill Crabb if he was not instantly killed himself, great care had to be taken for fear he might put his threat in execution, Crabb had ne arms whatever, the yard guards not being allowed to carry any, and had nothing whatever to defend himself from any attack of the desperado. About eleven -o’clock last night, one of the guards got a shot at him, but averted his» fire upon a change of positions for fear ef shooting Crabb. The entrance te the cell is very narrow, the door of plate iron, with a small grating at the tep for ventilation, The door opens inwards, and is very strongly fastened. It is impossible to get at the scoundrel without using great force, which, we learned would be employed this morning unless he should be shot during the night. During the day great fears were entertained that he would kill the guard, and for fear of that active operations were not pushed forward. Those best informed think there is now very little danger ef his putting his threat into exceution, as he must know that death would instantly be his lot. Yesterday everything was done that could be done consistently with Crabb’s, safety. No chance would the conviet give fer any injury to himself, as he either studiously kept the guard between him and the grating, or laid . down against the doer and outof the reach of shot. He professed te have no ill feeling to Crabb, but had deliberately planned this metho@ of gaining his liberty, and would kill Crabb and then kill himself, unless he was pardoned, Before our readers sce this account this morning, the desperado will either have been taken or Kkilled,’”’ The above account closed on Monday night, at 12 o0’cleck. A letter written on Tuesday, gives the finale of the affair as follows: “A 9 o'clock this morning, Rutherford, the State Superintendent and Col, Buckmaster, Warden, undertook to get into the cell of the prisoner by stratagem, Breakfast was set at the cell door in vessels of larger size than ordinary, but the convict refused to epen the door Apache and other indians, who are a terror to the inhabitants; and, however the troubles now existing in that distracted Republic may terminate, the government, if any be established at all, will need and must have money, The partiesurging this matter want Guay mas as a port of entry, for without it, Arizona and the adjacent country will be of comparatively little value. Ther expect te get as far down as the 28th parallel, taking in a part of Sinaloa. A Travenixa Javan Prixce,— The London News says that accounts have been received from Japan to tho llth of November. They confirmed the fact already announced of the approaching visit te Europe, of Priace Tziuzep, nephew of tho Emperor. He was to embark about the end of December at Simodi, with a numerous suite, on board a Dutch vessel, until the hall was cleared, which, after a brief consultation, was doue. The Warden, Superintendent and Guards were on each side of the cell, but out of sight, and metionless. The convict slowly opened the door nearly enough to admit the food, when a crowbar was instantly inserted. The Warden cried out to Crabb, the . imprisoned guard, to fight for his life, He acjoordingly sprang te the opening of the door, and at length dragged himself through, but not before he was stabbed by the convict nine times, seven times in the baek and twice on the arms. . When the poor victim was dragged out, the convict barred the door again and refused to yield, He was then given a few minutes for reflection, and the rebel was, after much dodging and effort to get out of the reach of the fire, shot by the Warden, The ball struck his skull, just below the left ear, and glancing around lodged under the skull, He fell instantly and the Samarang, chartered for the purpose by . was dragged out of the cell, and was thought to the Japan government.

All attempte to divert him from his task, until recently, have been unavailing. He says the trees are his enemies, and instinct teaches has destroyed the whole of them. During the time he is cutting dewn a tree, every blew of the ax is accompanied by “damn ye!” “dama ye!’ When atree begins to fall, his eountenance indicates the utmost satisfaction.

Cuinese Miners.—One of the great secrets of the success of the Chinese miners, is their neatness and economy of labor, and nice caleulation of time; they do all their work in suoh & manner that nothing has to be done over again; no stone has to be twiee removed, and every particle of earth onee lifted is so placed as to be ever afterwards out of the way.

The Bigler-Broderick Flare-up in the U. 8. Senate. It will be remembered that a collequy took place in the Senate, some months ago between . Senators Douglas and Bigler, im which the latter attempted te convict the former of being a party to a scheme for bringing Kansas inte the Union without submitting the Constitution to the people. The Pennsylvania Senator signally failed in his attempt at that time. The question was again brought up in the Senate on the . 13th of March, during the absence of Mr. Douglas, when a passage took place between Senators Bigler and Broderick, a sketeh of which will be of interest : Mr. Bigler here rese, considerably excited, and. amid much confusion, occasioned by Senators requesting Mr. Wade to go en, said he regretted that a personal defense of himself had again been foreed upon him. What he said when this question came up some weeks ago, he now repeated. He did not say that the destined proposition of submission of the econstitation te the people was discussed, but did say, on the occasion referred te, that the impression was conveyed to his mind that the intention of Mr. Toombs’ bill was to bring Kansas into the Union by one popular vote, that oue being the vote for delegates to a eonvention. Mr. Bigler again referred to his integrity, saying he ro resented a proud and neble people. . He reiterated the statement that the impression left on his mind was clear, that Kansas was to be brought ia with one vote, and that the constitution was not to be submitted to the people. Mr, Wilson ef Mass., asked the Senator if he did not make a speech last summer on Kansas, advocating the submission of the Constitution to the people. Mr. Bigler—That “is very pertinent. I have not been in the habit of making speeches on Kansas. Once I did address the peeple on Kansas, when . said the Censtitution should be submitted to a vote, but had no question in view except that of cagity 6 Mr, Broderick of Cal. moved that Mr. Douglas be sent fer, or that the Senate adjourn the further consideration ef the subjeet uatil Monday. He remembered very well the circumstances when this matter came up before. The Senator from Pennsylvania then said that he did not have a very distinct recollection ef it, but theught such a discussion as alluded to had taken place, when the Senator from Illinois distinctly denied it. Mr. Bigler—He did not. Mr. Broderiek—My impression, sir— Mr. Bigler—Your impressions are wrong, sir; he was careful and guarded in the statements he made. The Senator from California seeks to place this matter in a false view before the Senate. Mr. Brederiek—My memory must be very treacherous if the Senater from Pennsylvania is correct. He hoped the Senate would adjourn, and when the Senator from Illinois is in his place, we shall kuow whether the Senater from He theught, from the tremor the Senator exhibited when he rose, that he was about te take back all he said.

A New Bill for the Admission of Kansas, It being generally believed that the House of Representatives will never agree to admit Kansas under the Lecompton Censtitatiou, Hon. Wm. Montgomery of Penn., has reported a bill which he was to have submitted to the House . at the first opportunity, aud which, it is said, can be passed. As, in the present condition of of things at Washington and thtoughout the country, itis a bill of some importance, we make the following synopsis: Section 1. Authorizes the Governor of the . Territory of Kansas te convene an extra session . of the Legislature, and empowers the Legisla. ture thos convened to apportion the Territory . into sixty districts, frem whieh delegates to a convention shall be elected te assemble at such time and plaee as the Legislature may provide, to amend the Lecompton Censtitution, and the instrument thus amended shall be submitted to the people. Sections 2, 3, 4and 5, provide that the delegates before taking their seats shall be swora to support the Constitution of the United States —declare the boundaries of Kansas for the purpose of the election—impose stich usual conditions iw relation te the publie lands—and give to the Territery one Representative in Congress Terrible Tragedy in the Miinos Penitentiary. The Alton, (Illinois) Courier, of March 9th gives the partieulars of a desperate attempt made by a convict in the Penitentiary at that place to escape. The account is as follows: “A convict named Hall, from Chieage, who is new Peni euta second term, formed the idea ot acquiring his liberty in the following methed: He watched his opportunity shortly after breakfast, and when no other guard was in the nall surrounding the cells, exeept Mr. Crabb, whom he knoeked down and stunned by a severe blow on the head, then dragged him into one of the lower cells, tied Crabb’s hands behind his back, he fastened the cell door by means of a stick of ‘timber, previously put in the cell by some confederate, then drew a huge knife from his bosom, assisted Crabb to rise, put him against the door, and threatened him with

death unless he was allowed to go at liberty. The most daring attempt was soon known, and promptly brought Col. Buckmaster.and his uards to the spot. The conyict threatened abb with instant death if any attempt was . made upon the door, holding his knife within a couple of inches of Crabb’s breast. For-upwards ef an heur Cel. Buckmaster and_ his until the next general census. Section 6. Declares that if the Convention . shall not propose and approve amendments te . guards watched an opportunity to shoot him, but there being buat one opening in the doer, and that quite small, he kept Crabb constantly P the Convention, then the.said Lecompton Conthe Lecempton instrument—or if the people . between him and the opening, #o that he could shall not approve of the ameudments made by . only be reached through Crabb’s body. Thus matters continued until noon, when stitution shall be and.remain the fundamental! Crabb made some efforts to open the door, but law of the State of Kansas; but if the Conven-. was immediately cut wih i the band by tion and people shall approve #f amendments . the convict. During the day convict stated which are republican, then'they shall become . his terms of submission te be a revolver, loaded part of the instrument, and the State shall be . by himself, a full suit of citizens’ dress, $100 in Senator from California to describe the manner . (referring to his, Mr. Bigler’s, tremor) in which . he made his explanation, Mr. Broderick owed it te the Senate and to the Senator from Iilinois, to state that, some days sinee, when it was understood that the . Senator from New Hampshire intended to allude to this matter, the Senator frem Illinois intimated he would denounce the statement en . this floor as a falsehood, if the Semator did not . qualify it.

The Vice President reminded the Senators to keep within the limits of debate. Mr. Bigler—The Senator from Illinois never said any such thing. He isnot a man who would de so. Denounce what, sir, asa falsehood ?—the impression on my mind that Kansas . was to be admitted without a popular vote? Mr. Broderick—The Senator from Illinois is sick in bed. If ever he takes his seat again the Senator (Bigler) will be replied to. Mr. Broderick then moved to take up the private bills, but a motion prevailed to adjourn till Monday. . On Monday, the 15th, Mr. Broderick said he ' had seen Mr. Douglas, who had intended to be . here to-day, but who was still prevented from sickness. While he (Broderick) was up he would refer te the cerrespendence of the New York Jicrald which represented him (Broderick) as having been rebuked for a by the le did net thiak iich (ne market ef San Francisco can afford, and no ex. never would, for he tried te conduct himself like a Senator. He branded the writer as a He éaid he called attention tg the matter lest other gentlemen might have been misrepresented. Mr. Bigler, said be rose simply to set himself right in referenes to the debate of Saturday, not to account for a newspaper paragraph. He . knew nothing about it, and of course no Sena. tor is responsible for what is said in newspa. pers. There was scarcely a day he did not see some uvaccountable statement in them. But . he felt itdue to himself to say, that he came into the chamber, on Saturday, after the question te which he then referred to had been in . some way suggested, he spoke, he said, uuder mistaken apprehensions as to what had been said. He was now satisfied that if he had been in his seat he should not have been required to notice what passed. He would make an additional remark as regards the Senator and him. self. He certainly was net sensible of making any attack upon him, or of saying what could be understood as offensive. He rose for the purpese of defending himself against what he . thought was an imputation on what he had previously said upon the unpleasant topic under . consideration. He was not disposed, in the absence of the Senatar from Illinois (Douglas), te say anything on this, or any other qnestion, . (Bigler) felt satisfied that when that Senator and himeelf discussed the questien under consideration, if they ever did discuss itor any other, the Senator frem California, would be convinced that we are each controlled by henorable bearing and manly motives. They had, he continued, a difference of opinion on: the subject, but he did net know that they had anything more unpleasant. He did not intend to be offensive to the Senator from Illinois, in his absence; but to say what he thought was jas tice to himself. admitted under it. A Harp Hir.—In a speech, in the British House of Commons, Mr. Roebuck revived a piece of history, regarding the Napoleonic danasty, which reads rather awkwardly at the present time. Louis, through his official gazeete, atigmatized England as giving shelter to assassins, and to this insult Mr. Roebuck thus replies: That he, too—he, of all men upon earth— should dare to insult England—he who has partaken of our hospitality, who has been sheltered by our fostering power. What, after all this. has he dene? Oh, he sets a bright example to England. There was a man who conspired to ki}l England’s great hero, the late Duke of Wellingtoa—(hear ,hear)—there was another man, who was great, butfallen in his greatuese —and no one act of his life was, I think, so thoroughly inconsistent with that greatness as his leaving a legacy to the man who had attempted to assassinate the Duke of Wellington. (Hear, hear.) The only explanation of, the only excuse fer, that deed, was that the great Napeleon’s mind was shaken to ite foundation, I do not believe that he would, in his right senses, have perpetrated so infamous an act. But that man, who has received the protectien of England, who has come here after attempting crime after crime agafust his native land, that man when he had elimed to the height of power at which he has now arrived, what did he do} but pay to this intending assassin the wages of his intended dirty deed? The man (Cantillon) is now living in Paris, and it was publicly and . ostentatiously announced that the present Em. peror of the French had paid him the legacy which was left him by the great Napoleon for attempting to cut off the Duke of Wellington. When these panegyrics are thus profusely scattered in the English House of Commons ovgr the head ef Louis Napoleon, I hope the House . will recollect this fact. Purcuask or Sonora.—A Californian now ia New York, who has visited Washington City, . writes as follows : . There are parties of influence from Califernia and Arizona, now at Washington, urging the purchase by our Gevernment of the State of Sonora, Mexico, and there is ne doubt that the Administration will buy it. Negotiations are now progressing with that view. I know that Mexico has preposed to sell, for that country is of no use to her, it being everrun by the } and taken out in the manner stated, money, and to be driven out of town in a close carriage asco mp soit by Crabb, to such a place as he should designate; all of which were of course inadmissible. Yo the meantime, however, Colonel Buckmaster procured a pardon from the Governor, te be used in his discretion; but up to twelve o’clock last night no Information of it had been given to the convict. All day the guards were on the watch to shoot the scoundrel, but as he had positively declared he would kill Crabb if he was not instantly killed himself, great care had to be taken for fear he might put his threat in execution, Crabb had ne arms whatever, the yard guards not being allowed to carry any, and had nothing whatever to defend himself from any attack of the desperado. About eleven -o’clock last night, one of the guards got a shot at him, but averted his» fire upon a change of positions for fear ef shooting Crabb. The entrance te the cell is very narrow, the door of plate iron, with a small grating at the tep for ventilation, The door opens inwards, and is very strongly fastened. It is impossible to get at the scoundrel without using great force, which, we learned would be employed this morning unless he should be shot during the night. During the day great fears were entertained that he would kill the guard, and for fear of that active operations were not pushed forward. Those best informed think there is now very little danger ef his putting his threat into exceution, as he must know that death would instantly be his lot. Yesterday everything was done that could be done consistently with Crabb’s, safety. No chance would the conviet give fer any injury to himself, as he either studiously kept the guard between him and the grating, or laid . down against the doer and outof the reach of shot. He professed te have no ill feeling to Crabb, but had deliberately planned this metho@ of gaining his liberty, and would kill Crabb and then kill himself, unless he was pardoned, Before our readers sce this account this morning, the desperado will either have been taken or Kkilled,’”’ The above account closed on Monday night, at 12 o0’cleck. A letter written on Tuesday, gives the finale of the affair as follows: “A 9 o'clock this morning, Rutherford, the State Superintendent and Col, Buckmaster, Warden, undertook to get into the cell of the prisoner by stratagem, Breakfast was set at the cell door in vessels of larger size than ordinary, but the convict refused to epen the door Apache and other indians, who are a terror to the inhabitants; and, however the troubles now existing in that distracted Republic may terminate, the government, if any be established at all, will need and must have money, The partiesurging this matter want Guay mas as a port of entry, for without it, Arizona and the adjacent country will be of comparatively little value. Ther expect te get as far down as the 28th parallel, taking in a part of Sinaloa. A Travenixa Javan Prixce,— The London News says that accounts have been received from Japan to tho llth of November. They confirmed the fact already announced of the approaching visit te Europe, of Priace Tziuzep, nephew of tho Emperor. He was to embark about the end of December at Simodi, with a numerous suite, on board a Dutch vessel, until the hall was cleared, which, after a brief consultation, was doue. The Warden, Superintendent and Guards were on each side of the cell, but out of sight, and metionless. The convict slowly opened the door nearly enough to admit the food, when a crowbar was instantly inserted. The Warden cried out to Crabb, the . imprisoned guard, to fight for his life, He acjoordingly sprang te the opening of the door, and at length dragged himself through, but not before he was stabbed by the convict nine times, seven times in the baek and twice on the arms. . When the poor victim was dragged out, the convict barred the door again and refused to yield, He was then given a few minutes for reflection, and the rebel was, after much dodging and effort to get out of the reach of the fire, shot by the Warden, The ball struck his skull, just below the left ear, and glancing around lodged under the skull, He fell instantly and the Samarang, chartered for the purpose by . was dragged out of the cell, and was thought to the Japan government.
