The Ktbiope, Capt. Croft, a ateamber belonging
to tke Alfksa dleaui Company, arrived at Monrovia,
the c apital of the settlement of Liberia, on the 14±
ofApi il. Tue raptaiu, on landing, was Informed
by ex President K berts, that a French veaae!, the
Regina C<fc i, which had been for 3ome weeks c >l
- ring ‘euiigrauta’ under the new system, had
been the econe of a tearful catastrophe. These* so
i a Led emigrants had revolted during the absence ot
the captain, purser, and a few of the crew, who.
fortunately for themselves, had gone on shore for a
short time*, lne seamen lett on board, to the num
ber of eleven, were murdered by the negroes : tbe
| doctor a*oue was spared and put on shore, she
ignorant wretebes, after perpetrating this deed,
had taken possession of the vessel, and were known
! to be io tho neighborhuoa of Cape Mount. Shortly
! a.lier Capt. Croft received this information th *©
came a formal request from the Freuoh Consul that
the Ethiope would, it possible, recapture the ves
sel. The Ethiope set out accordingly. The Regina
1 l li was known to be well armed : ships convey
; mg tins class of emigrants are, it appears, well
armed; and Capt. Crott made every preparation.
| But, rigutly believing that ex President Robers
would exercise , a moral influence on the blacks,
- that gentleman was requested to accompany the
expeuition. At nine o’dock nsxt morning they
i dighted tue Regina Coe i, “quite unmanageable
i near the shore.” “As we neared,” says an eye
witness, “we saw her decks crowded with people,
who, as BfX>n a-* they saw ?be British flag, hung our
a white fchirt, and, the Ethiope coining within hail
;ng distance, they made ail possible demonstrations,
by i-lappi g their hands and crossing their arms,
Liius t xprecoiiig their iny at seeing a Britieh ship,
and their readiness to give themselves up.” Mr.
j Roberts went on board, and when the blacks heard
. tney were to be taken to Monrovia they danced
ana shouted with delight. Mr. Roberts, having
1 heard the account of the *e people, expressed his
! opinion that all the so-called emigrants were mere
ly laves, and had been regularly bought, shipped,
and manacled just in the regular way, as practised
on the coast tor many a year.
The account the negroes gave of themselves
leaves, indeed, uo doubt of the fact. The irons with
which they had been manacled were on board, and
many ot them retained the marks on their wrists
and ankles. They were about 270 in all, but 100
had left before the Ethiope fell in with the ship.—
Oae ot the men said that the greater part had been
brought down from the interior and bought by the
Frenchmen in the usual way. Others Lad gone on
board as laborers, he himself among the number,
and had been suddenly seized, put in irons, and
stowed away iu the hold. By theße means v.eie
tho emigrants obtained, who, but for the mutiny,
were destined to “develops their faculties by con
tact with civilization” in the Island of Reunion,
late Bourbon. Ihe account given by them of the
massacre itself was, that it arose from the cook
.-fa jb.ng one of the people who had gone to the
1 galley to get something to eat, but there can be
little doubi that the deed was premeditated, and
that the cook s violence, even if true, wa3 only the
signal lor the rising.
The sequel ot this story is ridiculous enough, and
we only relate it as a specimen of the manner iu
wt.icb the chief of the French naval squadiou on
the West Coast of Africa interprets international
usages and respects foreigu authorities. Captain
Crott had been 1 ©quested by the French Consul to
go and recaptuie the Regina Coe i, and he did so ;
but ML fchmoii, the captain of the lost ship, put oft*
m an open boat when he saw the Ethiope approach,
and when the Regina Cadi was captured he deman
ded that she should be immediately given up to him,
on the ground that she had never been out of his
I possenrion, inasmuch as he was iu the neighborhood,
and had moreover demanded twenty live men ot
the Liberian gov eminent to help him iu the reoove
ry. The answer naturally waR, that the Ethiope
had captured the vessel, and muat have salvage
she French captain refused to pay auv or to come
to any settlement, and, as the Regina Cdeli had been
taken into Monrovia, he called on tiie French naval
force to interfere, and the last we hear of the mat
ter is that two despatches have been addressed to
the President of the republic of Liberia, couched
iu the phraseology of which Europe has lately had
more than one .specimen. The demand is, that
“Captain Simon, of the French ship Regina Coali,
may be again placed in possession ol his vessel, il
legally seized by the English packet ship Ethiope,
and brought into the roads of Monrovia and tur
therumro. that the murderers be apprehended and
de ivered up. It will hardly be beueved that it is
desired also to make the Ethiope responsible for the
damage which the rebellious slaves did on board.—
But the style of the “Chief of the Staff of the French
Naval Division ’ ia the point moat worthy of atten
tion. With a just scorn of so plebian a functionary
as the President of a republic lie thus expre*es him
self :—I “declare that the capture has been arbitra
ry, illegal, aud valueless, and order that Captain Si
-11 mu he immediately replaced in possession of his
whip. I also insist that the murderers of the civw
ot thd’&egina Cu*ii be arrested aud delivered *0 the
commander of the Renaudin.”
This, however, is but a pendant to the o*i:i:ia!
history, which is the mutiny of a num *r ot kd
nappt-d slaves, bought, carried on board, oi auied
in th usual way, and destined to be transported to
the French planta ions under the name of “volun
tary emigrants.” That the system is nothing more
than the .slave trade under another name cannot be
doubted. That tho immigration oi Africans and
Asiatics to t hinly peopled colonies is desirable we
have always upheld, and even this French scheme
might have been so worked as tube a blessing both
to Africa and the Antilles. The various races which
have been introduced into the British possessions
have of late years prospered and been productive
of prosperity to others. The coolies in Mauritus
and Demerara, the Chinese in Australia, and even
large bodies of negroes intioduced into different is
lands, have had no reason to regret the change in
their lot; and we hope this kind emigration w ill
continue and increase. But nothing is more likely
to check a really healthy supply of labor than such
n nefarious traffic as has now'been exposed. We
’ trust that the French government will no longer
hesita e to discouutenance proceedings which are
able now to boast of the imperial approbation.**

j A despatch dated Washington, June 23d, says:
The War Cloud was dispersed yesterday. A sup
plemental and cor formal meeting of the Cabinet
wos held, al which dispatches from Mr. Dallas and
Lord Malmersbury, through Lord Namier, were
! read apologizing tor the late outrages, and offering
i indemnity. The British Government for the pro
1 sent ignores the claim to the right of search or viai
tation. but intimates that auy injuries proved to
have been already suffered by the practice wdll be
redressed. Negotiations will doubtless follow, re
sulting in money indemnity to American vessels,
and some provision punishing the illicit Assumption
tf the American flag
A number ot captains whose vessels have been!
boarded by the British c uisers in the Gulf have ;
been here asking advice of our government, as to
I their best means ot redress. Among these was
j Captain Bartlett, of the ship Clarendon, which, with
j her cargo, was totally lost on Balt Key Bank, off
, Key West, on the Sth of May, after being boarded
• and detained off Sagua la Grande, May 2, by her
j Britanuic Majest’y gunboat Buzzard. I uuder
stand thar the Secretary of the Navy has expressed
to Capt. Bartlett iu the most positive terms his opin
ion ibat the owners of the Clarendon have a valid
claim on the Britieh government for SIOO,OO0 —the
value of the ship and cargo—and Messrs. Dale &,
Cos , the owners of the Clarendon, are determined to
pro.-eute the claim vigorously.
The grounds of the claim will be, briefly, that the
Cl&teadou was unloading at the time of the
boarding in the outer harbor of Sagua ; that the
pieienceof the British war steamer alongside pre
vailed the lighters from coming out to her, she
drawing too much water to enter the harbor , that
<i who'e day was thus lost, as, when the Buzzard
iett, nt five o’clock on the m >ruing of the 3d, after
having t een alongside since 10 o’clock A. M. ot the
Jd, the wen'her was to > heavy to allow the launches
to come alongside, and that had it not been for the
detention, the Clarendon could have loaded aud
proceeded ou her voyage so as to pass the dange
i*oU3 point where she wa.< lost, before dark and be
fore the storm commenced. The claim will be made
on the British government through the Secretary of
State.
Tae clerks of the department are already at work
preparing the statement called for by the resolution
of Senator Benjamin, pe>ed by the Senate on the
day but oue ot the session, calling upon the
Pie ‘.dent to cause to be prepared before the next
sea-um ot Congreas a taoular statement of all claims
o American citizens against foreign governments
since IS It. with the action taken thereon and the
result, thejeot The preparation of this document
will occupy nearly all the cle ks of the department
during the whole'summer and fall, aud it is said it
will be the largest document ever laid before Con
gress. It will show that of the claims of our citi
zens against foreign governments since the peaoe of
1815, not oue per cent have received any repara
tion.

Tbe'f oltrsdo Exploring Expedition.
The War Department being in receipt of diepatth
e. from Lieut. Ives, oommandinK the Exploring
Expedition to the Colorado of the Weet, the
Weehiogton correspondent es the New York Timet
giver the following eynopeia of hie report, which
will be found intereeting:
The report shown that the exploring party as
cended the Colorado River to the mouth of the
Virgu: River, about latitude 36 c S', and juet above
the B.g Canon, and when the water wad in the worst
stage iot navigation. (Between tide-water and Fort
Yuma the principal obstructions are sand shoaU,
which inereaee in nnmber and difficulty ae the river
is ascended The channel is exoeedly circuitous
auu constantly shifting Tne average depth of
water is about eight feet, but shoals are frequently
enoountered, where there is scarcely two feet of
water. To navigate a steamer with success, an ex
perienced pilot is required. A knowledge of the
water cannot ba imparted, as it has been fr. ■; u ntly
known to change from one side to the opposite in a
single night. From the formation of the banks,
from the appearance of the water, from eddies and
floating pieces of wood, and from bars visible above
tue surtaoe a practiced eye can do much towards
sei-ctin* a proper course. Boats rarely make a
j trip between tide water and Fort Yuma without
I g eunaing many times a day. By working about
1 m shifting sand, by taking out lines to trees or
1 .nags, and by heaving with wind,ass or capstan,
ana. as a last resort, by lightening the boat of ber
cargo, these bars may always be passed with more
or less labor, depending in a great measure upon
Ibe skill shown or the different methods resorted to.
Daring the months of April, May or June, white the
rising and before new bars and sDoals have bad time
to fm m aDd block the deepened channel, navigation
is most easy. Below Fo.t Y’uma there are no rocks,
but snags are frequent, though not considered dan
gerous. If a steamer has powerful engines naviga
tion would be the moat difficult iu low water.
From Fort Yuma to Biliy Williams’ Fork at the
foot of the Chemehuovis Valiey the river possesses
the same general character of that below. The cur
rent is swifter, averaging three miles per hour, and
the shoals more frequent. Through the Explorer’s
Pass, Purple Hill Pass, Choc date range and the
Monument Canon, there is generally a better chan
nel than in the valliee, but in many places the wa
ter rushes swiftly around rooks; off these are almost
invariably sand shoals . The tendency of the boats
unless carefully steered, is to sheer trom the shoal
waters and swmg against the rocks. To this Lieut.
Ives attributes tue sinking of the steamer Jessup,
simultaneously to our passage up the river. In the
Chemehuevis Valley the river is gravelly, and great
er precaution has lo be observed there whils mov
ing in ehaliow water. At the head of this valley
near the ebtrance ot the Mojave Canon, is a rapid
rendered dangerous, occurring as it does on a rocky
shoal. An island covered with pebbles divides the
river into two channels at this point. The eastern
channel is the best, but at this stage of the wa.er a
line should be taken out ahead to steady the boat
and prevent her upon striking a rook from swing
ing against others. With the water a little higher
the place would present no difficulty. Through the
Mojave Canon tne channel is generally good. Be
tween the foot of this valley and the head of Pyra
mid Canon, she shoals occur much oftener. The
pebbles on these shoals are of a larger size, aud the
water approaches more nearly to a rapid. In the
intervals are stretches of good river, aud although
the bad places are worse, the channel is better
than between the Chemehuevis Valley and Fort
Yuma The velocity of current is three miles per
hour, and the average depth of water is five feet.
From the head of Pyramid Canon to the mouth of
the Big Canon there are many rapids. The bed of
the river is (composed almost entirely of large
stones and rooks ; and in this part of the river there
would be risk, particularly in high water, of strik
ing against rocks At the mouth of the Big Canon,
opposite to the centre of the first large cliff, count
ing on tkedast side, a sharp pointed rock sanes in
the very centre ot the channel, about four inches
below the surface of the water. The river is very
narrow aud deep, and the current slack. Having
just crossed a rapid, Lieut. Ives was ascending with
a full head of steam, and at hid greatest speed, when
his boat struck full upon the rock. The stem,
where the flanges of the bow sections meet, happen
ed to strike fairly, and, although the flanges were
torn partially away, the boiler thrown out of place,
the deck broken down, and the steampipe bent by
the concussion, no damage was sustained which
was not repaired before evening.
Lieut. Ives’ provisions becoming exhausted al
this point, aud his provision train being delayed
longer lhan was expected, he determined to leave
his steamer here aud proceed in a skiff to examine
the river above hoping that his traius would arrive
by the time he returned to his boat.
In his skiff, Lieut. Ives and his party reached the
head of the Big Canon, about iti miles from his
steamboat camp, ou the evening of the seooud day,
aud on the morning of the third came to the mouth
of the Virgin- River, in latitude about 116 deg. 6 min.
This river is a small stream of transparent, braok
idi water, aud sinking just before reaching the
banks of the Colorado River. Recent Indian trails
appealing at this point, Lieut. Iveß continued his
examination no further, and returned to his boat.
There are many bad rapids encountered in the Big
Cauons—one five miles from the mouth much the
worse place met with on the river. The fail is over
a ledge of large stone, the channel narrow aud deep,
and the rush of water is very strong. A boat can
be hauled over, but it would have to be entirely
emptied, and then it would require a considerable
amount of labor. Four other rapids were of a
formidable character. To pass through the canon
at this etage of the water, it would occupy a steam
boat of the moat favorable oonbtruetion at least a
week.
On hie return to his steamboat, Lieut. Ivet found
his provision train had not yet arrived, and he con
cluded to start back to meet the train aud make the
rest of his exploration by land. A heavy rain on
the following day raised the water a lew inolies, and
with this slight addition, the obstacles presented by
the liver between the mouth of the canon and the
Cottonwood Valley were notone-third eo great as
they had been iu ascending. A month later and a
large portion of the ditfioulties encountered would
doubtless, disappear.
Wood of au excellent character for fuel can be
obtained in abundance on the bank, at short inter
vals between the mouth of thb Colorado aud the
Painted Canon. It is principally muskets and cot
tonwood. From the Painted Canon to the Big Ca
non it is less abundant. Iu the Big Canon there is
very little—only a lew trees aud occasionally a pile
ofdiift-wood. At the mouth of the Virgin River it
can again be procured.
With the uarrow avenues formed by thb steep
wads of tho Caucus, Lieut. Ives thinks the water
must have at limes risen to a prodigious height. ] n
the Big Canon he saw drift-wood lodged among the
masses of rock fifty feet above the present water
level. He therefore thinks it dangerous to attempt
the passage of any of these Canons in the mouths
of July and August, the periods of the annual
freshets.
The reoonnoissaui e made, before the arrival of
the mule train from the mouth of the Big Canon to -
wards the Vejjas, shows that a wagon route might
be opened Irom the former place to the Spanish trail.
For sixteen miles the road is somewhat difficult,
passing through the gravelly hills which cover the
eastern s ope of the spur from the Dead Mountain
range. In some places little work would be re
quired. After reaching the summit a broad plain
extend to the Mormon Gap, which is but a short
distance from the emigrant road. An extensive
view Irom the top of Fortifica'ion Rock, immedi
ately below the mouth of the Virgin River, has
given Lieut. Ives the opinion that the valley of that
river wifi give the best land communication be
tween the Colorado and the emigrant road. But it
is his decided belief, aud also that of the explorer’s
pilot, (Capt. Robinson,) considering the difficulty,
hazard, labor aud expense that would be incurred
iu takiug steamboats through the Canon—that, for
the present stage of water the mouth of the Big
Canon should be considered the practicable head of
navigation, and the road to connect with the Mor
mon route should commence at this point.
The Paiute Indians aud a small party of Mormons
had been hovering about the camp of the exploring
party. One of the latter passed a night in Camp
pretending that he and his companions were from
the Utah settlements, but not Mormons. He was
very inquisitive about the survey aud its results.—
These stragglers afterwards went to the Mojave
villages, aud persuaded the Mojaves that the expe
dition had come to take the valley from them, but,
said they, the Mormons will be on the spot m a week
with the Paiutes, to destroy the explorers. The Mo
jave guides then deserted the expedition, and Lieut.
Ives thought it possible he would have some diffi
culty with them. He summoned the principal chiefs
aud endeavored to remove their distrust. They
were afterwards friendly, butstill a little suspicious.
They promised to rend guides the next day to ac
company the party to the Haulpeas, a tribe of In
dians living on the Colorado above the Great Bend.
On the arrival of the mule train at camp, Lieut
Ives sent baok steamer and his hydro /raphical par
ty to Fort Yuuna, disbanding the latter, as his hy
drographical portion of his labor was oompleted.—
He started on with the mule train, to pass across the
country and attempt to reach the region north of the
Little Colorado, and thence by the San Francisoo
mountains and to desoend the Rio Verd and the
Gila back to Fort Yuma. The steamer of Lieut
Ives reached Fort Y’uma in safety, bringing the
foregoing report of his exploration, which bears
date March UJ, 1858.
The India Insurrection —Tbe euccesees of the
British in India have been 80 brilliant in scattering
the massed bodies of the insurrectionary forces and
storming their strong and numerously defended
cities that it seems natural to slide into the error of
supposing the mighty rebellion which threatened to
throw off, as with the convulsion of an earthquake,
the iron grasp of English power has been subdued
its tirery elements quenched in blood and buried be
Death the smouldering ashes, and the work of recon
quest thoroughly completed. But, in truth, that
achievement is yet to be begun. The triumphs of the
English arms in India so far are only feats without
the accomplishment of which they would not have
been able to have held their footing in the country
to the present time. They were the mere necessary
operations preliminary to the real task which will
test their strength. It must be remembered that
Eugiand has never anglicised India. She has held,
occupied and taxed, but never really governed the
country. By the aid of Hindoo and M&bommedau
she conquered Hindoo and Mahommedau, and the
result was the dynasty was changed, but the laws,
institutions and customs of tne people still rued in
the persons of natives, only modified occasionally a
the pecuniary interests of the Company demanded.
In her original aggressions, her attaoks were made
upon princes, kings aud emperors, rulers for whom
the mass cared nothing. But the character of the
present struggle is quite of a different nature. She
now has to contend against the people. The num
ber of the insurgents may not increase, but it does
not diminish. The armies of tbe invader sweep
across the country, they meet no opposition, or none
that is not speedi y overcome and scattered ; but the
people are silent and sullen, and each successive
victory leaves pacification as far distant as ever.—
They may not be able to expel, but they cannot be
brought to rec ive and submit to their invaders
The period has arrived when new measures must be
adopted, and England must govern India with a
widely different policy and for much more extended
objects, or she must submit to see her Eastern pos
sessions slipping one by one from her gra3p and the
circle of her dominion narrowed until nothing is left
her but a few trading places on the sea cost, which
her-mantime power may enable her to bold against
all comers.
This policy is nothing le6s than the anglicising of
India Unless she cau do this the eventual proba
bilities are that the present struggle, notwithstand
ing -he bright promises of its glorious first successes,
will be but tbe beginning of the end of her Indian
empfre. It may be thought that the climate of In
d.a will f resent in the future as in the past a bar
rier to such a process that cannot be surmounted.
For centuries Englishmen have gone to India to get
rich and gone home to enjoy their wealth with the
little life left by the climate. But they now have
access to a portion of India which they had not
formerly, they have reached the mountains, have ;
extended thei. bounds to a higher latitude, and have
gained a spot where an Anglo Saxon colony can be
planted and increase and flourish. An English set
tlement in the nerthern part of India is now practi
cable and might be made as attractive to emigrants
as Australia or America. It would form the true
nursery for tbe future masters of that country, and
would in the end effectually ang ioiee and christian
ise the whole country. No project of this kind has
been entertained or even mentioned as far as we
know, but the necessities of the case will yet point
it out as the true one to be pursued. England will
b compelled even in he event of continued suc
cesses to keep large armies in the north of India for
some time to come These armies will not be Se
poys but chiefly British soldiers The system of
occupation they will be compelled to adopt will
lead to the formation of settlements, aud the work
once commenced Eagiish settlers will be Been has
tening to northern India as to some fresh El Dorado. >
some newly discovered laud of gold and gems. The
idea of such a change in India as this view opens up
may seem chimerical, but unless it is carried out in
some shape, mere or less modified. English power
in India will be gradually, perhaps, but inevitably
extinguished— Bait. AmetK

Secretary frUyd’a jArancierintf.
The reports from it very pro
bable that Mr. Buchanan’s jHtotary of War is in
a fair way to acquire a world-wide notoriety for his
financiering , in hie department. The Secretary
evidently deals out the government funds with a
very liberal aud rather “ loose” hand ; but whether
there is any subsequent division of the spoils, we
have no present means of ascertainiug—certain it
is, the following statement made by the correspon
dent of the New-York Times , looks very suspicious:
“ It appears as ii we were never to have done
with the’ very peculiar financial transactions which
have distinguished Gov. Floyd's administration of
the War Department. A man by the name of Gor
don, has been prosecuting the claim before the Trea
sury Department for the last ten years for damages
on account of depredations committed by Indians on
a plantation of his father-in-law iu Alabama, a Mr.
Fishier. Hitherto he has been unsuccessful, be
cause Congress had paid him $27,000, which the
Treasury Department held was a full and liberal
satisfaction of ail claims which he could bring
against the Government. Attracted, however, by
the reputation which Seoretary Floyd has gained
iu financial matters, he got un act 6iipped through
Congress, referring bis claim to the Secretary ot
War, to compute aud ascertain, if any, the amount
due. The claim thus went into Floyd’s hands, and
under his manipulations, Mr. Gordou has obtained
an award of $160,000 iu payment of damages which
Congress aud the Treasury Department for ten
years past have repeatedly held were all pa and and
satisfied ! The money has, I believe, not yet been
paid, and the exposure ought to prevent its being
drawn from the i reasury. But 1 suppose it will
not. Put down the affair along with Fort Sne'.liug,
Lime Point, &0.,
t>eiiiocr<Ustr Economy.
The following sUtiaaSfijif the receipts and expen
ditures of the govern the current fiscal year,
ending June 30, practical illustration
of Democratic econflHp&s practised under Mr.
Buchanan’s AdminlNKlion. Estimating tho re
ceiDts of the last quarter at $8,000,000, which it
will not exceed, the revenue and expenditures of
the government for the year will stand thus :
For three- quarters - $36,024,933.16
Fourth estimated 8,000,000 00
$44,024,933.16
Expenditures, as estimated by J. Glan
cey Jones $84.6b7,2t8 30
Deficit for the year $40,642,335.14
A deficit of forty millions of dollars in one year!
What think the honest unsophisticated people of
this evidence of Democratic economy I Does it
not impress upon the mind of every patriot, the ap
palling truth, that democratic promises are one
thing, and democratic performances another and
very different thing ? If so, the necessity for
change in the administration of the government, iu
not to be questioned by auy man who has the good
of the country at heart—whatever his political as
sociation, if he be honest.

them, (at least it is remarkable to us, though it may
not be to horticulturists,) is, that “they were grown

edge of domestic duties. The same” hints , we
think, would apply to son e other meridian, as the
Almanac makers say, but we will not particularise ,
we prefer that the anxious parents should make the
application. Mrs. Ellis says :
Tho truth is, my dear girl‘s you want, generally
speaking, more iiberty and less fashionable res

exercise and loss eofa ; more making puddings and
less piano ; more frankness and lead mock-modesty ;

New Telegraph Line.
The American Telegraph Comparv, owners of:
the wonderful Hughes’ Printing Telegraph In* j
strnmente, have jnet opened the first section—be
tween New York ana Philadelphia—of their sea
board line to New Orleans, via Washington,
Charleston, Mobile, dtc. The line has been placed
under the superintendence of W. P. Westervelt,
Esq , long and favorably known as the Superin
tendent of the Magnetic Line between New York
and Washington, and the receiving department has
been placed under the direction of Qeorge Stoker,
Esq , recently occupying a similar position iu the
office of the Magnetic Company and a gentleman
who has no superior in the particular department
assigned to him
We learn from the New York Express that the
company intend to fix upon a minimum rate of
tariff materially less than the rates extorted from
the public through the combination of the two old
lines—a combination entered into some twoor three
years ago, and which we then predicted would
eventuate to the great injury of the lines concern
ed. Formerly, the minimum charge for a despatch
from Ns w York to Philadelphia was “25 cents, but
lor two or three years past the old lines have de
manded lorty cents —a rate higher by more than 100
per cent, than is usually charged on the lines at the
North, East or West. We understand that the
American Company intend to extend their line
South without delay—an enterprise which cannot
fail to meet with the active sympathy and cordial
support of all who are iu favor of reasonable tolls,
courtesy, and a much improved system of tele
graphing — Balt. Ameiican.
We hail with the most sincere gratification the
announcement of the establishment of this line of
Telegraph, and trust it will becompleted at an early
day. We desire to see an end to the system of
gouging and extortion practiced so long by the pre
sent line, which will surely be the result of the es
tablishment of anew line. The people of the South
have just been relieved from a similar game, prac
tised by the old lines of steamers plying between
Savannah, Charleston and New York, (a system of
gouging and extortion, unprecedented in the history
of transportation in modern times,) and we shall re
joioe to see the Telegraph Com pany brought to a
like position.

He was a native of South Carolina, but moved to
Georgia soon after arriving at manhood, and for
near thirty years represented Rabun county, in one

the office of State Senator from that oounty at the
time of his death.
Tornado in New-Yokk.—A despatch dated N.

yesterday afternoon, accompanied by rain, lightning
and hail. The wing of the American First Glass
Company's works, ut Hunter's Point, was blown
down. The Rev. Ralph Hoyt's church, nearly coin,
pleted, was razed to the ground. Other damage
was done in varioui parts of the city.
Atlantic Telegraph Cable.—A despatch da
ted St. Johns, N. F. June at, says:—The Govern
ment will dispatch a steamer to Trinity Bay, to pilot
in the Niagara as near as practicable to the point
where it has been decided to laud the cable. The
Niagara may be expected momentarily on and after
Saturday next, but from the fact that the fleet would
use no steam in reaching the middle of the Atlantic’
it is quite possible that the Niagara may not reaoh
this coast before the Ist of July. This offioe has
been placed iu communication with the office at
Trinity Bay, audit isuuders ood that the Tele
graph Company will place their wires hence to
New York at the service of the press and publio for
the-transmission of such communications connected
with the great event as may be handed in for a few
days subsequent to the arrival of the Niagara.

The Honorable John J. Crittenden entered
the Senate of the United States in 1817, forty-one
years since. In that long period, says the (,'incur
nati Commercial, he has been one of the most con.
spiouous, consistent and able of American states,
men. Presidents have gone in and out of office
since, with not half his renown, nor a fourth of his
ability. Lsss brilliant than many, his practical sa
gacity is almost unequalled. In his long public
career, we scarcely recognize a single mistake. Be
longing to the conservative party and coming from
a central State, he has gone to no extremes. He
has been twice in a Cabiuet, but has never been
charged with lust of office. All manner of corrup
tion has been seen iu bigu places, liut. the breath of
slander has never whispered it of him. The people
of his own State have valued these high qualities.—
From 181? to 1819; from 1835 to 18-11 ; from 1819 to
18-19; and from 1858 to the present time, lie has
been in the United States Senate. In 18II) he be
came a member of Gon. Harrison’s Cabinet, and in
1850, of Mr. Fillmore’s. His present term of ser
vice iu the Senate will e.xpire in 1861, forty-tour
years from the time he entered that body, andtweu
ty-one years, In all, of Senatorial servios. Suppos
ing him to have been only of Constitutional age
when he entered the Senate, he must now be seven’
ty-one years of age—yet hale in strength, and hon
orable among Ihe conscript fathers of the country
Frauds on the Pension Office. —Ed. Strange,
of Tishomingo county, Miss., a gentlemuu who ib
highly respected in his neighborhood, has been in
dicted for fraud upon the Pension Offioe. The
Memphis Appeal learns from D. 8. Dodge, Esq.,
Special Pension Agent, that the fradulent papers
claimed a land warrant in the name of Zachariah
Jones, who was a soldier in the Florida war, and
who has not been seen for 15 years. The accused
was held in recognizances to appear at the Decem
ber term of the United Staleß Court at Pontotoc, to
take his trial on the oharge. Cases of frauds upon
the Pension Office, Mr. Dodge informs the Appeal,
are becoming alarmingly frequent; they are almost
all perpetrated in the same manner as the one we
have been speaking of. A person who stands well
in the community, and whose word is taken with
out hesitation, draws up false papers. Relying en
tirely upon his represenations, the judicial officers,
who are required to sign the applications, do so
without examination, and the fraud is consumma
ted. This should aot as a warring to judicial offi
cere, and they should invariably insist on examin
ing all papers they are called upon to sign.

A Gold Mins in Cass. —We Lave been shown,
says the Caseville Standard of 23d inst., a specimen
of Gold bearing quartz, taken from a vein recently
discovered on a lot of land belonging, as we are in
formed, to A. N. Verdery, Thomas W. Perkinson,
Daniel Putnam and William P. Hammond, which
surpasses anything we ever saw. The rock is liter
ally held together by the gold. The gentleman
who showed us this specimen now before us, has
been to the Mine, and informs ns that much richer
specimens have been taken from the vein, and that
from one to two hundred dollars worth of gold has
been saved in one day . by pounding the ore taken
from this vein in a small hand mortar. This mine
must be, from the information we have received,
which we doubt not is correct, of immense value
This mine is near Allatoona in this county, and we
hope and expect to hear of other discoveries soon
Return Aster Forty-Six Years’Absence

residents of the first ward were nut a little surprised
on Thursday last by the advent in their midst of
Mr. Peter Fudge, after an absence of forty-six
years. It was supposed that he had long been an
inhabitant of the spiritual spheies. In 1812 Mr.
Fudge failed from Newburyport in a ship belonging
to the late Moses Brown, since which time no
tidings were had of him until his return. Ilis wife
was married twice alter his departure, and died
several years ago.

The Search in the Gulf.
The files by the Persia contain no official infor
: matiou respecting the searches. In connection
with this subject, we have, however, the following.
In the House of Commons on the lUth inet:
Viscount Goderich asked whether there was ary
truth in the statement allegad to have been made
by Mr. Mason, United States Minister to France,
that there had been some communication between
the governments of Euglaud and France upon the
subject of the exportation of negroes from the west
coast of Africa, in the course of which Her Majes
ty’s government had informed Count Waleweki
that they would not object to the Fieuch scheme
for that purpose while wants of the British colonies
were being supplied by the coolie trade.
Mr. Fitzgerald said the attention of the Govern
ment had been drawn to the statement to which the
noble Lord bad alluded; and he could only say that
there must have been some very grave misappre
hensiona as to the facts on the part of Mr. Mason It
was true that there had been communications be
tween her Majesty's Government and the Govern
ment of France with reference to the “Free Emi
gr&tion” scheme, as it wa? termed; but it had been
on our side rather to express our regret that such a
scheme should have been originated, and still move
that it should have been persisted iu. No conces
sion such as had been described by Mr. Mason had
been made by Her Majesty's Government. and
there had been no admission on their part that such
a course would be proper.
Mr. Fortescue asked if the scheme itself was still
going on 1
Mr. Fitzgerald said the Government had no rea
sou to suppose that it had been given up, but they
felt if their duty strongly to point out to the French
authorities the objections there were to the plan—
not so much on account of the treatment the “ free
laborers’’ would receive in the colonies of France
wheu they arrived there, as ou account of the evil re
sults which the scheme would occasion in Africa
The noble lord at the head of the foreign department
had proposed that the French Government should
name a person, aud we another, who should togeth
er inquire int o the facts alleged; and to this proposal
the French Government had assented.
The Paris Constitutional describes the difficulty
which has arisen between Great Brit&iu and the
United States ou the subject of the right of search,
and concludes that botn nations are in the wrong—
England because she seeks to “exercise & control
over the other Navies of the world the United
States because they “offer a plausible motive for
the interference of which they complain, by en
gaging in transactions condemned by morality.’’
“The state of things,’’ says the above journal, “is
certainly embarrassing. Were the other nations
to be raised from the position of simple spectators
to that of judges, would they not coude nn both
parties ? for England has sought to raise an excess
of power, while the United States, who justly claim
the independence of their tiag, abuse that sacred
principle by tolerating the slave trade.'’
The Paris Patvie says that “France does not now
keep her ships on the African coast to catch sla
vers, but to prevent British -ships-of-war meddlmg
with French vessels. It declares suoh an attempt
as watching the coast of Cuba as frivolous and
vexatious.
Ratti.eSn\kes.—Two scientific gentlemen of
Thomasville, Ga.. have lately beeu experimenting
with the rattle snake aud the alleged antidotes for
its bite. Several experiments were tried with dogs,
which, after being bitten, were subjected to various
remedies which were reputed to have proved effiea
oious iu many instances, but which, in these oases,
failed entirely, the bite proving fatal in a few hours.
Whiskey was finally tried, and the deg, after being
bitten on the fleshy part of the thigh, was foroed to
swallow several gills ot whiskey, at short intervals-
The poor animal was made extre irely sick for severa’
days (whethher owing to the whiekey or to the bite
of the rattle snake, the scientific gentlemen were
unable to determine,) but finally recovered, and at
last accounts appeared as well as ever.
Iu connection with this subject, a correspondent
of the Thomasville Enterprise , writing from Cairo,
Decatur county, Ga., tells the following story, of
which he avers to have been an eye witness :
“ Several years ago, one of my dogs was bitten by
a snake, on Sunday evening—l gave it some braudy
and used other remedies, but ou Monday night it
died. Having heard that a snake would form in
side of a dog that was bitten by a snake, in company
with another gentleman, 1 bad the dog opened, aud
found a snaky looking substance feet long, with
diamonds on the back, and six rings around the
tail end. It had no visible head, only one end
blunter than the other, and had the appearance of
having sucked its subßtanoe from the blood of the
dog. It lived several hours.
Railroad Manners.—We have books on the
“etiquette of the drawing-room,” the “etiquette
of the ball-room,’’ the “etiquette of the street,” and
a score more of etiquettes. The editor ot tho
Cincinnati Gazette has supplied a vacancy which
has long existed, in his “e.iquetteof the railroad
car.” He gives the following seven rules for the
guidance aud well-government of travellers :
1. Do not puddle a car, where there are ladies,
with tobacco juice—it dirties their dresses
2. A young and healthy man should not occupy
more than two seats. Twice aa much room as an
old lady or gentleman requires is enough tor the
cloak, band-box, carpet-bag, and books of a mer
chant's clerk on a collecting tour.
3. Courting should be done at home. The world
does not make a sufficient allowance for amours in
the cars. When people are seen to be uncommon
ly affectiouate in the cars, the by-standers are apt
to make remarks.
4. Ladies who must wear lloops in traveling,should
not make them two yards in diameter, a* that is the
greatest width with whioh they can be conveniently
seated.
5. Men should not talk in the cars more than doub
ly as loud as they do in any other place, lest they
should injure their voice.
(i Children who are three or four years old, and
in habit of crying for everything they see without
being punished, should be kept at home till their pa
rents learn how to govern them.
7. If the first and last of these rules cannot be ob
served, then the tobacco puddlers and the parents
who never punish should bo put in the same oar
together, to enjoy each other’s company.

Straw Overshoes.—A patent has been granted
to a citizen of Utica, for anew kind of overshoe,
designed for persons travelling by sea aud land. It
is made of braided straw. Straw being a non con
ductor of heat, the natural warmth of the foot is re
tained, without being subject to dampness by the
foot sweating, the straw being porous, and either
absorbing the dampness or allow ing it to pase off.

A telegraphic report from Washington says that
despatches have been reoeived there from Commo
dore Mackintosh, on board the steamer Colorado,
sent to San Domingo to redress the outrages there
which give assurances that proper reparation will
be made immediately.
Money. —Men work lor it, tight for it, beg for it
starve for it, lie for it. And all the while, from the
cradle to the grave, nature and God are thundering
in our ears the solemn question, “what shall it pro
fit a man to gain the whole world and lose bis
soul 7” This madness for money is the strongest
and the lowest of the passions; it is the insatiate
Moloch of the human heart, before whose remorse
less altar all the finer attributes of humanity are
sacrificed. It makes merchandize of all that is
sacred in human affection, and even (rallies in the
awful solemnities of the eternal world.
The Grasshopper Plague in Ohio—Mr.
Schenck, of Franklin, Warren county, Ohio, writes
to the Ohio Farmer, that the Grasshoppers are muk
ing their appearance there in vast numbers. He
says: ‘Last year we had millions of them; this
year we Lave hundreds of millions.” For five
years, he says, they have been increasing on his
farm, and he fears that, unless some means are dis
covered for their destruction, they will totally ruin
his own and his neighbor's clover fields.

tary manslaughter. The prisouer was remanded
Ueis charged with the murder of Wm Mullins, in
December last.
A Monster Farm. —lt is staled that several men
of wealth in New-York, Buffalo, and Chicago, have
it in contemplation to establish somewhere in the
West, a leviathan farm, of from 100,000 to 200,000
acres. Their object is to do for agriculture, by the
use of combined wealth and the power of machine
ry, what has been done in the part half century by
the railroad and factory, to supersede the old stage
coach and spinning wheel. They will organize the
vast tract into two rivalized establishments, with a
military organization of labor, gigantic machinery
to plow, plant, reap and render harvests . vast herds
of horses, sheep, and cattle of the most select etoek,
and the cultivation of fruit and grain on a grand
scale.
Death of a Miser. —A man died, a few days
since, aged St 4, in Cambridge, Massachusetts, who
had lived very poorly, and was not supposed to
own any property, except the house and lot in
which he lived. The heirs, however, on search
ing the premises, discovered specie of various
countries and denominations, to the amount of
foil,OOO.
