Prepayment will lie Invariably re quired. EMIGRATION. Histoty exhibit* three remarkable e ras of Em igration. 1. The invasion of the hordes which overrun Europe after the destruction of the Roman empire. 2. The crusades that precipitated Europe on Asia. 3. The stream that has set into the shores of America, since its discovery by Columbus. The first had its sourc" ia the lust of plunder; the second, in religious fanaticism, and the third in the spirit of commercial adventure. The first and the last were attended by an extensive intermingling of races. The modern nations ol Europe have sprung from a fusion of the Latin and Gothic races. So has the last of these Emigrations. Our country has been peo pled by celts, Anglo-Saxons and every other variety of race and from every quarter of the globe. The crusades were attended by no such effect. There was little or no mixture of races. The object of the crusaders was not plunder or settlement and colinization Their sole purpose was to drive the Turks out of Palestine and the recovery of the Holy land. The state of Europe was greatly changed in the medieval period by the second of these great emigrations. To the overthrow of the Roman empire succcded the Feudal system, and to that the rise of cities and the growth of commercial spirit, as it wag this spirit which led to the maritime enter prise that resulted in the discovery of anew world. The social changes of one age thus prepared the way for those that succeeded. The stream of emigration, having its source in a spirit of maritime adventure, has scarce ly known any reflux, although occasionally interrupted by foreign war or civil dissen sion. It still continues with unabated pow er. Europe would appear to be discharging her over-populated cities on the shores of the new world even to the limits of the Pa cific ocean. Her rulers are said to be alarm ed at the emigration not only of her sturdy peasantry and most skillful farmers, but the manufacturers who are carrying with them the arts by which they have enriched the counties from which they have emi grated. The new world lias borrowed lrom Europe the sciences by which it has largely aug mented its material wealth, but it has more than repaid the debt, by those political im provements by which the securities of free dom have been increased. The French revo lution owes its paternity to the American. JThe adoption of the Federal Constitution formed and era in governments and it has become the model of every succeeding con federacy on this continent. What with the Wider sphere for human effort in the United States, the rapid growth of capital, the pro gress of mechanical improvement, and their immense national resources, in the fertility :°f the soil and their metallic treasuries—it would appear as if these States would in a few years rival, if not surpass Europe in all |he elements of wealth as well as in numbers. THE OCEAN CABLE. The news respecting the telegraphic Cable t* certainly discouraging. The latest ad rices state that it was parted on the 20th Inst., in latitude 51.40 north, longitdde 3d west. The particulars ot the unexpected disaster ure not given, and of course nothing definite ;an be known of the matter until further in digence is received from the Greut Eastern. In the meanwhile we think the public seed not despair altogether of ultimate suc cess because of this mishap. It will be remembered that the insulation was broken twice, but the faults were readi ly discovered and rectified. The probability is that the obstructing difiiculties will be fcotind somewhere near the vessel, because the insulation was tested continuously, and the rupture could not have been passed very far when it was first noticed by the electri kans. Or it may have been that stormy Weather necessitated the parting of the cable -o keep it from injury by the unsteady and potent motions of the vessels. Fortunately the Great Eastern was pro ided with every necessary appliance for dis pvering and rectifying almost every diffl plty, and it is presumable tftat if the sltua ion of the cable was such that the line could e underrun from the locality of the disas sr, the defect would be at once repaired- Iherwise a return to the coast of Ireland Bd an underrunning from that end would attempted. Further advices will be im ktiently looked for by an anxious public. | In this connection H may be interesting to r w whßt haa “dually been accomplished B the way of submarine communication. I It appears from a carefully prepared state lent before us, that the longest lines of sub ■ lime cable at present laid and in success or operation are from Malta to Alexandria, BEgypt, I,slbmiles; fromFaotoKurrachee, ft thePe ™ K ‘ y “'f. 1,300 miles; between Sven lines, the longest * contlneQt by Holland. 140 miles During the Russian war lines were laid from Constantinople to Varus, 200 miles, and from thence to Bslaklava, 150 miles. They operated well during the war, but we do not learn whether they are still in use. ArnoDg the minor lines, that across the Gulf of St. Lawrence, from Newfoundland to Cepe Breton, 85 miles, has been out ol order since May last, and is pronounced ir reparable. Anew one must be laid befor« the Atlantic cable can be considered com plete. The long line now successfully submerged in the Persian Gulf only requires a link of 160 miles to complete the connection be tween England and her Indian p-tssessions If, then, the Atlantic enterprise succeeds, the United States will be placed within a few hours distance of Calcutta, vi* London. Ii in all parts of the world we could calculate on a favorable state of the atmosphere at the same time, the message might be sent through in a few moments; but this can never be calculated upon, and rarely hap pens. The completion of the Russian rout* will give us a second mode of reaching In dia, from Irkontsk, in Siberia, to Pekin, via the Persian Gulf to Calcutta. Among the lines which have proven fail ures is that attempted by the Dutch from Ba tavia to Singapore, 6GO miles ; the English line from Malta to Corfu, 400 miles, and that in the Red Sea, from Suez to Asa. The old Atlantic Cable Company expended one and a half million of dollars in their unsuccessful attempts. Nothing appears thus far, says the author of the statement referred to. in the history of submarine communication by telegraph, which lorbids the idea of alternate success in crossing the Atlantic. Still the failure of the great enterprise may be caused by accidents so slight, the inluries are likely to be so difficult to reach and cure, that ii requires considerable faith to risk so much money on such slender chances. We can not the less, however, refute our meed of admiration to those men who have persevered under all circumstances of discouragement, in this great object. The world would have been several centuries behind its present po sition of enlightened knowledge, if the persis tent faith of reformers and discoverers, had not been superior to all the obstacles which have confronted them. The Kentucky Election.— The returns of the Kentucky election are so meagre that it is a difficult matter to arrive at au ex'act conclusion regarding its complexion; but enough is known to show certainly that out of the nine members of Congress four of the pro-“constitutional amendment” and four of the anti-“constitutional amendment" candi dates are elected, as follows: anti-“constitutional amendment " Ist District—L. 8. Trimble, lid District—Henry Grider. 4th District—Aaron Harding. 7th District—George 8. Shanklin. fbo-“constitutional amendment." sth District—Lov. K. Rousseau. 6tb District—Green Clay Smith. Bth District—Wm. H. Randall, bib District—Samuel McKee. The election in the Second District is still in doubt; but it is believed that B. C. Ritter auti-“constitutional amendment," liaa been chosen. The conservative, or anti-“constitutional amendment," majority in the State and in the new Legislature, will not be large ; re turns from cighty-two out of one hundred and ten coundes show the conservatives a tew hundreds ahead. A planter in the parish ot St. Charles, says the New Orleans Times, who considers him self fully posted on cotton statistics, says that there never was over lour hundred thou sand bales of cotton raised in any one sectiou West of the Mississippi and the Rio Grande when Kirby Smith surrendered, and that lorty thousand bales will be added by tUia year's crop. Os the old crop a great deal has already been hurried to market,and it will be entirely cleared out of the country before the first of March next. With the limited stock on hand and the crop prospect now before us, our correspondent thinks sixty or seventy cents per pound will be the prevail ing price in January next. Our townsman, Wm. King, Esq., leaves on the New York steamer to-day. Having been applied to by prominent persons in Boston, who desire reliable information in regard to the actual condition, the sufferings, and losses of the people Georgia in the track of 9herman'a army, and of the present condition and prospects of the freed slaves, Mr. King goes North prepared to represent the facts as they occurred, and still exist, in the hope, by disseminating truth, to be in strumental in doing good. We can assure the people of Boston that they may place the fullest reliance on his statements. Univkhsitt of Viboima.— The friends of education throughout the South will be grati fied to learn from the advertisement in ahother column, that this excellent institu tion has suivived the late devastating war. and that it will commence its annual session as usual on the Ist of October next. The system ot instruction is most comprehensive and thorough, concluding, in addition to the usual collegate studies, law and medicine, with able professors iu every department.— The terms of tuition, board Ac., at the Uni versy. are very moderate. Wesietan Female College.—The atten tion of parents and guardians is invited to the advertisement of the President of this insti tution for the education of young ladies, by which it will be seen that the twenty-eighth annual session ol the college opens on the 2d of October next. The terms ot tuition, board Ac , are remarkably low for an institution ranking as the Wesleyan College Justly does, among the first female schools ol the South. The Shreveport News of the Bth Inst., savs that a writ of Habeas Corpus had been grant ed by Judge Weems of the Tenth Judicial District of that State, in favor of William Sample of De Soto Parish, now in military custody, and that the matter would be tested in a lew days. This looks like the resump tion of civil rule, and the supremacy of courts and the law in Louisiana. The Boston Transcript announces that enough has been realized in Massachusetts, Rhode Island and New York to swell the estate of the late President to one hundred thousand dollars. It is authorized and re quested to say that the active labor, of ob taining subscriptions to the Lincoln fund have ceased. The New York World says the total loss by Ketchum’s forgerie* will reach four mil lion of dollars. Presides, JohnioM’t Rrmailrirllai Ex prrlmemt. We trust the people of the South will not bang their lights at the stem of the ship to throw a hideous glare upon the course over which they have passed, but at the bows to illuminate their future voyage. It is of the utmost consequence to them, to the country, and to the cause of civil liberty, tuat the pending attempt and reconstruction should succeed, with as little delay as pos sible. There may be some features of Pres ident Johnson's plan which the South do not like; but under existing circumstances, they cann it expect any better. The only thiug iu his method ot which they can se riously complain is the restrictions he puts upon white suffrage ; but no person who considers the temper of the party that elected him would wish him to take .he hazard of greater liberality. The radi cals are not willing that this experiment should succeed even on the basis he has adopted. They intend, through the action of Congress, to break it down, on the pretext that the citizens whom he admits to the bal- lot-box in the preliminary elections are not loyal, and that their disloyalty is so flagrant that nothing short of negro suffrage will an swer as a counterpoise. Despite the falsity of this pretense, the sticklers for negro suf frage will have influence enough in tho next Congress to render the success of recon struction doubtful. The natural reply to their arguments is, that the- negro counter poise is not needed, because the illumma lious imposed by the President on while suf frage are so strict as to guarantee the loyalty of the new State goveruments. If the suc cess of the President's ex|ieriment is doubt ful, even with this conclusive answer, its de feat would be certaiu if the precautionary features of his policy were discarded, and ail Southern citizens indiscriminately ad mitted to the ballot-box. The practical question for the South is, whether it is more lor their interest that the President’s experiment should sueceed. or that it should fall through. It will not do to ignore obstacles which are beyond bis con trol. It will be more than two years before a Congress can sit elected with reference to the exigencies of peace. Neither the pre sent Senate nor the present House will admit members from the Southern States unless the moderate Republicans are furnished with grounds for voiiug with Democrats to deteat the radicals* It will not do for the South nor for any true friends of the Union, to make light of these circumstances. If re construction does not succeed on the basis proposed by Mr. Johnson, there will be no reconstruction for at least the coming two or three years. The prompt success of Mr. Johnson’s plan would be far better than reconsiruction on a more liberal basis, at a later period. Belter for the .South, who wish to be spared the hu miliation of being kept under the heel of subjugating armies; better for the country, which can ill afford the expense of military government; better for civil liberty and per sonal rights, which can never be safe tiil re construction is complete. It is a great deal better that the South should be represented in Congress by men not precisely of their choice, than that they should not he repre sented at all. Southern Representatives, however objectionable in many respects. will be more or less amenable to Southern public opinion. Local pride, neighborly feeling, a knowledge of the wads and interests of their constitutuencies, and the fact that they must share in the consequences of legislation per taining to the South, will prevent their co operation in measures intended to degrade or oppress their section. But the most impor tant advantage of all, is, that Immediate re construction will take this great question out of the arena of heated and passionate de bate. When Southern members are once admitted into Congress on the same footing as of old, their States will thereafter have control ol’ their own elections, nod iu the next succeeding Cougress the South can he represented by men freely chosen. Wbatever else may be said of President Johnson, it must be conceded that he is ap parently aiming to expedite the return of all the States to their Federal relations. All sin cere patriots must ackuowledge that this is the great thing. It is only by Us success that a sure way is opened for the redress of grie vances, and the restoration of the Constitu tion to its supremacy. ogle and remon strance amount to lii tie with a radical ma jority in both houses of Congress. The cause of the Constitution does not so much need arguments as votes. It is essential that the whole country be represented in Con gress ; and no intelligent triend of our free I institutions will try to twwart or einbarras the Pt esideut in bis efforts to hasten recon struction by the only method which, com posed as Cougress now is, has any chance of success. VV uen all parts of the country are duly represented, aud have their proper weigLt in ibe public councils, we shall be no longer at the mercy of the radicals. We may then trust to the sense aud patriotism of the peo ple for the rectification of all abuses. Even if the siiio is meanwhile running on a wrong course, it is better to bear with it fur a little, while lier machinery is so reconstructed that •he will obey the helm. She is now like a Roman galley with most of the oars on one side swept away by a storm. In such a case the master is better employed in trying to get them back and recover control of her rno'ion, than lie would be in a vain attempt to steer her stiaight without them. — N. I". World. Ex-Prcsidcnt Pierce. The Nashville Dally Press & Times of the 12ih instant publishes the following letter, stating that it came to light under the fol lowing circumstances: “ The letter was cap tured with a mass of other papers, by Col. James B. Brownlow, at Bellefont, Alabama, in; 1808, aud lay unopened in a box whose con tents were investigated for the first time last Wednesday, at tiie Capitol. It is a tele graphic copy, a Air simile ot the Ex-Presi dent's liand-wiiting, aud liad evidently been published by the rebel leaders in that form f,r broadcast circulation over the South, in order to “tire the Southern heart and pre cipitate a revolution.” Here is the letter, verbatim: Clarendon Hotel, .lan. 6, 1860. My Dear Friend ■. I wrote you an unsatisfactory note a day or two since. I have just had a pleasant in terview with Mr. Shiplej', whose courage and fidelity are equal to his learning and talents. He says he would rather fight the battle with you as the standard bearer in 18f>0 than under the auspices of any other leader. The feeling and judgment of Mr. S., in this re lation, is, I am confident, rapidly gaining ground in New England. Our people are looking for the “coming man one who is raised by all the elements of bis character above the atmosphere ordinarily breathed by politicians , a man teally fitted for this emer gency by hi3 ability, courage, blood, states manship and patriotism. Col. Seymour (Tbos. H.) arrived this morning, and ex pressed bis views in this relation, in almost the identical language used br Mr. Shipley. It Is true that In the present state of things at Washington, and throughout the country, no man can predict what changes two or three months may bring forth. Let me sug gest that in the running delegates in Con gress full jusiice seems not to have been done to the Democracy of the North. I do not believe that our friends at the South have any. just idea of the state of teeiing, hurrying at this moment to the pitch of intense exas peration, between those who respect 'heir political obligations, and those who have, apparently, _no impelling power, but that which fanatical passion, on the subject of domestic slavery Imparts. Without discussing the riglit'of abstract power to secede, I have never believed that actual disruption ot the Union can occur without blood, and, if through the madness of Northern abolitionism, that dire calamity must come, the fighting will not be along Mason and Dixon's line merely. It will be within our own borders, in our streets, be tween the two classes of citizens to whom I have referred. Those who defy law and scout constitutional obligations will, if we ever reach the arbitrament ot arasTflud oc enpation enough at home. Nothing but the state of Mr*. Pierce's health would induce me to leave the country now, although it is quite likely my presence at home would be of littla service. 1 have tried to impress upon our iienple, especially in New Hampshire and Connecticut where the only elections are to take place during the coming Spring, that while our Union meetings are all in the right direction and well enough for the pre sent, they will not be worth the paper upon which their resolutions are written, unless we can overthrow political abolitionism at the polls,and repeal the unconstitutional and obnoxious laws which,in the cause of person al liberty, have been placed upon our statue Dooks. I shall look with deep interest, and not without hope, for a decided change in this—word illegible.) Ever and truly your friend, FRANKLIN PIERCE, Hon. Jkf?. Davis, Washington. D. C. The Great Cable.— A dispatch from Cy rus W. Field states that all communication with the shore was destroyed. After picking up two and a quarter miles of the cable on board, It was found to be caused by a piece of Stout wire havieg l»een run entirely through the cable. This portion of the cable was re covered from nineteen hundred fathoms of water. After several days grappling with varying success, at 7 o'clock in the afternoon of tbe 11th of Aug., the rope on board the Great Eastern parted, and for want of suffi cient rope the vessel was obliged to return to England. The New Orleans Picayune warns the peo ple ot the North against the seusation dis patches and letters sent from the South, pur porting to give the condition of affairs in that section. It says they are evidently written either to get up a sensation, or else with a view to aid the Radicals in keeping up tbe rule of the bayonet at the South. Tbe New Orleans Picayune learns from a foreign exchange that the civil marriage of Henri Alnoux de Riviere to Miss Emma Blount; of Mobile, Alabama, took place in Paris early in July. The religious ceremony, says the account, had previously been solem nized in Spain. It ought to have been solemnized In Mobile some six yeais ago. Revolution Imminent in Spain. —The Queen and her piime Minister are not on good terms. A strong republican feeling exists among the officers of the army, and a revolution may be considered imminent. The shock of an enrthquake wag felt in Memphis, Tenn., on Friday morning last* and more plainly at Holly Springs, Miss., and LaUrange, Tennessee. No particulars of the damage have beau reported. Secretary Seward has agaio gone to Cape May for his health, his physicians deeming a sea voyage at this time highly necessary for its restoration. Mr. Breckinridge was to sail from England on the Ist of August, and is expected in Mon treal on the 12tb. Louis Napolean has ordered four more iron clads like tbe Taureau. The Ohio Democratic Slate Convention has nominated A. Long lor Uovernor. Negro Emigration to the Eastern Stalti. The New Vorjt Herald of Thursday last says— Mr. E. M. Willis, agent of the Freedmen’s Bureau, arrived in this ciiy yesterday in charge of a party of freedinen with their families. They come from Washington, and have been provided with trausporiation to Rhode Island, where, through the exertions of the Freedmen s Bureau, of Providence, Air. J. H. Stewart, Superintendent, homes have been procured tor them. Thiity-two person* completed the party, nearly all men and women not over thirty yeais of age, with a few children about ten years old. All were healthy, bright looking specimens of the colored race selected with cate Irotn the large musses which swarm the streets of Washington. Thu females are in tended for domestics, while situations as farm laborers, coachmen, Ac., will be pro vided for the men. Tbe first party organized arrived at Rhode Island a lew days since under charge of Mr. Willis. It was composed of fifty persons, and information received shows them all to Lave received situations and to be doing well. It is intended that, so long as there is a prospect of employment, parties will be sent and the negroes be sati-fied, but it is improbable that free transportation will be furnished to more than two hundred addi tional. This design of the Bureau to provide work for the freeumeo is a sufficiently laud able one, and we trust they may iu all cases be as successful as iu Rhode Island. A large number ot negiocs left unemployed, if for warded to many of the Northern States, would doubtless be able to procure situa tions. A large number, however, must remain to a certain extent unprovided fur till something be understood of the intentions of the late slave owners of the South, when, if everything should prove favorable, doubtless they will be encouraged to proceed thither. The party which arrived here to-day will probably reach Providence before evening. Northern Emigration to North Caroli na—Hhalth or Nbwrern, Ac. —Newbern, August 12.—The northern emigration to North Carolina has already set in. People are arriving by the thousands from ail quar ters. The health of Newbern and the rest of the State was never better. In point of health North Carolina has always been the second State iu the Union, which position she is der - tined to keep. The Murray's line of stcameis which run lrom this point to New York, and also the Goodspeed line, are each building a number ot' first-class packet steamers to run on this route, which will make a trip two hours sooner. Hough A Company, ot this city, intend building a similar class of steamers for the Newbern and New York trade. These steamers are to be constructed with the view of speed, and a rivalry is be ing excited that will test the skill of the first mechanics in the country. President Johnson. —Wilmer A Smith's European Times, in an article on President Johnson says: The man who was,so maligned and misun derstood, at home and abroad, as recently as March in the present year, is evident y like his distinguished predecessor, one who thinks aod acts according to his own notions of Justice, and the probability is that, when bis term of office expires, he will like Mr. Lincoln, comqiand the respect alike of friend and loe. There appears to be iu these Ameri can statesmen, whom chance often throws to the surface, immense energy of character, and a self-reliance which notning can shake. From Arkansas.— A correspondence from Little Rock says that organizations under the new State Constitution are complete in nearly all the counties, and that the offices of Sher iffs and Probate and County Judges have all been filled by loyal men. Business goes on as peaceably as in Massachusetts, the taxes are being collected, the returned rebels ac quiesce in their defeat and rejoice that the war is over, and traveling through the State is ss safe at before the war. Speculation and trade are becoming brisk, aud emigration from the North, especially of mechanics and miners, is beginning. There is a large amount of cotton in the lower part of the State. A French lady, who was introduced to Abd el Rider's two wives, speaks in glowing terms of their beauty- Strange to say, he neither smokies nor allows any one else to smoke in hin bouse, although he does not sbstsln from wine. JeST Davl.'i Faintly j * AT ALBANV, LN ROUTE FOR MONTREAL. 1 From the Albany Journal, August 15.) Three children of Jeff. Davis arrived here this morning on the St. John, stopped at the Delavun House for a few hours, and left on tbe Rensselaer aud Saratoga railroad for Montreal. There were two sons and a daughter, younger. The names ot the sons were Jefferson and William. They were ac companied by tbe mother of Airs' Davis, a white servant girl, and a man servant. A large crowd was attracted to tbe Dclavan House, where quite a disgusting scene took place. A number of women went in, aud, amid tbe moat extravagant professions of delight and affection, repeatedly biased the children. While the children should not be held accountable for the deeds of their fa ther, there is certainly nothing in them nor their parents that entitles them to any pecu liar manifestations of regard, over hundreds of respectable children of loyal parentage. AT SCHENECTADY. [Prom the Schenectady Star, August 15.] Some of the relatives of Jefferson Davis, consisting of Jeff.’s mother-in-law, his two sons and a daughter, aged respectively three, eight and eleven years, a negro male ser vant, a white female servant, and a man, whose relation to the party we could not learn, passed through this city this morniDg on the forty-five minutes past nine train. The mother-in-law is apparently about sixty five or seventy years of age, and bears an intelligent eye expression in tbe face; she wa9 dressed in black. Tbe boy 9 were dress ed in blue flannel, cut and trimmed in sailor fashion, and were in charge ol the colored servant. The girl was dressed in white and was in charge ot tbe female servant. Dur ing tbe time tbe train remained in the depot the man alluded to above, and tbe old lady, who occupied one seat, were engaged in close conversation, tbe old lady at times evincing feelings of anger, and" her teeth gritted as though 9he could bite a ten-penny nail. We are told that she talked secession loud and strong while in Albany; but she was told to “shut up"—and she “shut.” The party were bound westward, it is rumored for Canada. AIO FOB MBS. DAVIS. [Washington (August IS) correspondence of Cincin nati Gazette.) Tbe sympathy of the Washington seces sionists for Mrs. Jeff. Davis is decidedly sub stantial in its character. Up to yesterday the amount subscribed in her behalf foots up the handsome sum of $6,510. The lowest contribution to the fund was $lO and the highest SSOO Expenses at Saratoga.—' The New York Tribune’s Saratoga correspondent says : The ordinary expenses of a single person at Saratoga may be put down at from $4 to $6 per day ; hut tbe extraordinary have no limit. The addition of one lady induces an addi tional expenditure of $lO to sl2 per day. A family of six or eight traveling in modern style with all the accessories of four horse carriage, servants and equipments, may cost SIOO to S3OO per day. There are several such “establishments’ ot this character, be side any number between the extremes. Os course this estimate does not include the cost of dresses, diamonds, operas cloaks, and the thousand and one mysteries of these ravish ing toilets, for their cost is fabulous. Russia—New Telegraph Route to Ameri ca—A Warsaw journal announces that the plan for a telegraph line between Russia and America has been approved aud signed by the Czar. Tbe Russian Government under takes to complete the line as far as Nicola jewsk, the remaining portion from Nicoia jewsk to San Francisco being at the charge of the American Company. The capital of the latter amounts to $10,000,000, and bond 9 representing $8,435,900 have already been issued. It is intended that this' route shall be finished in five years. Oil in Tennessee. —The Nashville Des patch says; Specimens of coal oil are brought to the city almost daily from different localities in the State. The development of petroleum in prolific “ well springs of joy" in this State Is now a settled fact. Commissioners working their way into the “greasy affections of mother earth” like so many busy ants. Mar ribone Creek is the golden oil stream at present. A Sight to See. —A Nashville correspon dence says: I visited the capitol and found my old friend, Capt. H. H. Thomas, busily engaged in counting the xoin belonging to the State, which was captured at Augusta, Georgia. The sight was a refreshing one. Four hundred and thirty thousand dollars in gold and silver coin, most of it just as it came from ihe mint, was a sufficient dazzling sight to blind the eyes of a person accus tomed to set nothing but greenbacks. A curious phenomenon is reported from the Pacific Ocean. During a violent hurri cane near the 9ociety Islands, one of the Palmerston Islands was washed away, and there is left a dangerous coral reef on which several vessels have been wrecked. The reef is visible in still weather, but in a storm it cannot be detected. “My dearsir." said Drumsticks to a young married gentleman, who bad Just been made father to a bouncing baby, “my dear sir, can you tell me in what your present position varies from that of the same individual one year ago ?” “Can't sav that lean, Drumsticks.” “ I will tell you. One year ago you were a sighing lover — now you are a loving sire /” Joseph Smith, Jr., son of the Mormon Joseph Smith of Nauvoo, comes out in an article in The Council Bluffs Nonpariel, de nouncing Brigham Young and all his woiks. Smith is at the head of the new organization of Latter Day Saints. He proposes to dis cuss the grave issue between himself and Brigham with any beligerent gentleman who will meet him at Council Bluffs.
