PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY ITEMS. - [From the Manassas Gazette] -- We were agreeably entertained on Thursday morning last by listening to a discussion which took place between a Grant man and a Greeley man, but the discussion terminated by the parties leaving politics and talking religion, and when we heard one of them asking the other whether St. Peter was living or not we got disgusted and quit.

The thermometer at Manassas on Sunday last at noon, at the residence of W. C. Merchant, esq., was 94, and the thermometer was placed in a position where the sun did not strike it.

James B. Sener, Radical candidate for Congress for this district and Dr. W. W. Douglass, Presidential elector on the Grant ticket, will speak at Occoquan on the 17th instant.

Elisha Chloe was sent to jail at Brentsville on Saturday last, accused of the murder of O'Brien, near Haymarket, over a month ago. We believe it originated from that worst of evils--whiskey. The accused has been in the jail at Warrenton for some time, as the murder was supposed to have been committed in Fauquier county, but upon a survey of the line, which divides the two counties, it was ascertained to have been committed in Prince William county.

Rain commenced falling about 9 o'clock Thursday morning, and continued until late in the night. At times it was very heavy, and the "oldest inhabitant" informs us that the showers, during the day, were the heaviest he ever witnessed at this place. The rain has materially effected the buckwheat, and the crop will be a good one. Our informant told us that he saw on the farm of Wm. E. Goodwin yesterday buckwheat at the heighth of ten feet.

Elisha E. Meredith, the Conservative canvasser for Prince William, has made the following appointments to address the people of this county; Independent Hill, Saturday, 21st September, 3 o'clock p. m. Manassas, Saturday, 28th September, 3 o'clock p. m., Brentsville, Monday, 7th October, 3 o'clock p. m. Occoquan, Saturday, 19th October, 3 o'clock p. m. Dumfries, Saturday, 26th October, 3 o'clock p.m.

Maj. Thornton is complimented by J. M. Owens, teacher, for the impartial manner in which he has managed the charge committed to his trust as county superintendent of schools. Maj. T. has endeared himself not only to every teacher of the county but also to the community at large by his liberal expression of sentiments upon the benign influence of the public school system all over the county.

There is to be a tournament at "Harrison's Crossing," between Burke's and Fairfax stations on Thursday, next.
