Attention Middle Circuit.
Mr. Editor:—Without any intention to make
reflections upon any of the candidates, who are in
tbe field for the office of Attorney General, allow
me through your valuable paper, to suggest the
name of one who, though youug in years, la emi
nently qualified to discharge the duties of the office.
We do not feel that in making this asssrtion we
are doing any of the present candidates injustice,
nearly all of whom we know and some intimately,
we allude, sir, to Alfheus M Roorrs, of you r
city. We are confident we can roll up for him a
yood majority in old Burke. Will Mr. Rooms take
t.e field for the office. Burke.

The August Election*.
Kentucky.—Tbe Louisville Courier publishes
official returns from seventy counties in the State.
In these comities, Mr Kevlll, the Democratic can
didate for Clerk of the Court of Appeals, gets -IS B‘o
votes, and Mr. McKee, American candia'e, 43,792
votes. According to the returns Mr Revill s loss
is 9lfi, as compared with tberac* of Garraid (D.)
and Jones (A )in 1857. In the thirty-one counties
to hear from the Vote for Garrard was 16,263, and
for Jones 9,566. Should Revill lose nothing in
these counties his majorityy Would be 11,705 His
election is deeinnd certain by a minority exceeding
10,<HK) votes. No other officer voted for
throughout the entire State. *or Judge of the Lou
isville appellile district, Mr. Wood, Demociat, has
defeated Judge Wheat, his American competitor,
by about a thousand votes. The district is com
posed of some twenty odd counties.
Nortu Carolina.—Lettersfrom North Carolina,
esys tbe National Intelligencer, state that the Hon
Z. B Vance, the Whig and American candidate,
has been elected to Congress in the Mountain dis
trict lately represented by Senator Clingman. The
majority Is said to be small. Mr. Avery was the
Democratic candidate. Judge John W. KUis,
Democrat, is elected Governor of tbe .State by a
large majority over Duncan K Mcßae, also Demo
crat, and who [e in tavor of a distribution of the
proceeds of the public lands, and ran as an inde
pendent candidate. The Democrats have also car
rted tbe Legislature, but tbeir majority, though
large, will be less than in the last Legislature.—
Two United States Senators are to be elected—one
in tbe place of A-a Higgs, resigned, and tbe other
in tbe place o! David S. Reid, whose term oi ser
vice will expire on the 3d of March, 1859.
Arkansas. —In Arkansas there wan scarcely any
opposition to the Democratic nominees for Con
Sresa. Thomas C Hindman is elected in the first
istriot without opposition, and Albeit Rust is re
elected in the second district by a large majority
over T. 8. Drew, former Governor of the State, and
independent candidate. Tbe Democratic party
has of course a large majority in the State Legia.a
lure.
Kansas. —Returns, partly official, from fourteen
counties in Kansas, give the following result ol tbe
election on the const i ution : Against Lecompton
8,1 Hit), for Lccomrton 1,400 Th majority r*gtint
Lecompton is therefore 6,500. The number of
counties remaining to be heard from is twenty-two.
It is not believed, however, that the returns from
these will affect in the slightest the overwhelming
majority already recorded against the measure.
The Effects of the Cable onthe Movements
of Cotton.—Mr. Wm. P. Wright, in his circular to
his aorrespondeuts per steamer Europe, which sailed
from Boeton Wednesday last, remarks as follows,
upon the effects of the Atlantic Telegraph Cable
upon the movements of cotton :
The business in cotton during the past week has
almost been suspended, on foreign account, by the
excitement attendant upon the announcement that
the “Atlantic telegraphic cable has been successful
ly laid.” Great anxiety exists iu the cotton tr ale
to see the working ot the cable, as it must cause
considerable change in the mode of transacting
business iu future. The effect of this new agency
will be the equalisation of markets, and diminished
chances for those serious losses which periodically
ooour in the Liverpool oof too trade. Anew system
of purchasing to arrive, in Liverpool, by class<tica
tioo or sample, will soon be adopted, and there will
be an increase of the transitu business in this city,
York will receive leee oottou direct from the ;
Kflith, except from tbe poiute wlt-re there ie no
oth<*r outlet, but her position ae ft cotton centre will
be vastly improved bv the receipt of orders from
the manufacturers elf England and France. Spin
ners and others in Europe will soon discover how
much their interest can be served by the free use of
the to egrapb, and hew admirably adapted the trail
■it bueiuess of New Yotk is iu ordering cotton to
arrive with them at ouoe, in a month, or in two or
three monthe, thereby making a large saving in in
terest, and enabling them to secure at once a sup
ply of the raw ma'erial. to fill even extensive con
tract! for gooda ud yarns. The transitu business
of this city has been found to work well for four or
five years, aud is now capable of great increase,
and it may not bs too bold to predict that the day
is not far distant wheu tbe bulk of the cottnn trade
between Europe and America will be transacted in
Boating cargoes, represented by classification,
through the agency of tbe electric telegraph.

! t*r*eetst the fI wmg extracts irom the Whatcom
| Northern Light:
| Statement of Mr. Jokes —Mr Isaac D Jones,
! a member of tL? Third Legislature of Washing loti I
| Territory, and highly respected a- a g**Dth*man of j
i veracity, was among the very first miner.* who i
: went to Kraaer river He has just returned from j
that region, and furnishes us with the following in* ;

Hi* claim is on Hill's Bar, two miles below Fort
Yale. It ha* thus far yielded him about SI.OOO. —
The top sand pays, and U stripped a short distance j

| eight inches thick, which p&je at the rate of an
ounce to the hand.
There are about 75 c’aims on Hill's Bar The

i P aD
i Mr Jones is down on business, and will return to
I tbe digging* in the course of a few days.
Statement or Mr Brown. —Mr. Chas. Brown,
| formerly of Caiaveraa c unty, an Italian, in com- j
I pany with ten others, returned to this place by i
canoe, from .15 miles above the junction of Fraser j
i and Thompson rivers, on Thursday afternoon
j They were on a prospecting expedition, but ex- I
1 haunted their p-ovirions before and >ing much V\ ner- i
i ever they uokotn prospects, they found gold s-nse j
place* more aud They saw miners who ,
were making from S2O to $l5O per day, in surface j
diggings. . j
Above the forks cf the two rivers, the gold h j
coarse. The Indians exhibi ed pieces to them a~ j
large as pigeon eggs, ands gnified to them by sign?
i that during the diurnal revolution of the sun, they
i con and take out ad- üble handful of it. Th*-y are
i very numerous and insolent, m*k ng their ap-
I pearance suddenly in a great force, when lea-it ex
| pected.
On their return, they fell in with a Canadian, who :
wa* building a fort at or n-ar the forks, where they
left two of tbeir partners. He had been three days I
without food, h> and was forced to kill a hors , fifteen
pounds of the flesh of wh eta Mr. Brown and party
pure based at fifty cents a pound, tbeir own stock
of provisions having been exhausted. F'rom this
point, they suffered severely from hunger, piocuring
a scant, supply from time to time, from those they
met, in the best manner they could.
There are about a thousand miners at Fort Yale,
doing nothing, waiting for the river to fall. Provi
sions are very scarce there also.
Mr. Brown was a miner in California nine years ,
but he says he never saw as rich surface diggings
there as on Fraser and Thompson rivers. He in
tends returning with Lie party to tbe diggings in a
few days.
Statement of Mr. Russell.—Mr. J P Russell,
formerly of Weaverville. Trinity County, Califor
nia, returned from Fort Hope on Wednesday morn
ing, by canoe, for provisions. He furnishes'us with
the following item of news, which we think relia
ble.
He was at Fort Hops ten days, where there are
between three and four hundred miners. Owing to
the high waters of Frsaer river, they are ail idle.—
Many have staked off claims, to be worked when
the waters recede.
About three miles above F’ort Hope, before the
river rose, several miners were averaging an ounce
a dy, by stripping some five feet depth of sand
The dust in that region is float gold, and generally
obtained near the surface.
Mr. Russell saw two men from tne forks of Fra
ser and Thompson rivers, who told him that miners
there were making from one to four ounces a day,
and that there was plenty of ground there for as
many poisons as chose to occupy it.
Mr R. brought, down eight diseathfied persons
who are returning to California, cursing the mines,
and swearing that the whole country is a humbug.
Hut he assures us that neither of them ever did a
day’s labor at F'ort Hope. They left the diggings
entirely untried, and, of a consequence, could not
know anything about them Those that he met
who could and had woiked, nearly all exhibited
more or le.-s gold, and expressed themselves hope
fully of abundant success when the waters eubride.
Mr. R. exhibited to us some five oreix ounces of
due*, several of which were beautiful agglomerated
specimens. We obtained from him one of theee
latter, weighing eight dollars, for exhibition to those
who are still incredulous of the existence of golden
Fraser aud Thompson rivers.
The i kail—The editor of the Northern Light,
speaking of the Whatcom trial, says : “Two weeks
must transpire beforetbe Engineer having the work
in charge wilt be enabled to report its entire com
pletion. About 100 men had started from What
com to go by the trail to the mines.”
The River Route —Mr. Rumell reports a large
number of canoesreinrning down Fiaser river to
rbe mouth of th Numa*, which they navigate up to
ihe head of the Lake Surnaa. and abandon them for
the Whatcom trail. The day before he left Fort
Hope, the Brigade Train, of the Hudson Bay Com
pany, embracing three hundred well jaded and half
broken down animals, got in. Some of these were
sold to greedy purchasers at from $1.50 to S2OO.
A Frenchman at Fort Hope had feu animals, on
each of which he engaged to pack a cargo of 180
Jlh. to Thompson river, for SIOO.
The Hudson Bay Company did no packing. They
did not have a sufficient number of good animals
to meet their own demands.
Mr. R says that no person has yet succeeded in
ascending with a boat through the Big Canon.—
Even the Indiansshiink horn the folly of the un
dertaking. When the Whatcom trail is finished,he
thinks it will be the almost universally adopted route
to get to the best mining region
Rights of ihe Hudson Bay
Victoria Gazette gives an interesting report of a
“Meeting of Confer* nee,” which tvas held at the
Government House, Victoria, on the 10th June, at
which Gov. Douglas, Councillors John Woik and
Roderick Fin lay son, and five members, v z: T. J.
Nk liner, J Yates, J D. Pemberton, Speaker Hel
uicken and J. W. McKay, of the Colonial House of
Assembly were present. The Governor on this oc
casion, gave some important information as to the
supposed rights ol the Hudson Bay Company, and
the probability ot the Fraser river country being
Boon opened to free trade. W r e quote from the Ga
zette:
Ilia Excellency commenced the Conference by
stating that any information in his possession woulo
be cordially given to those present, but that a por
tion of it must be considered confidential, and not
to be made public.
1. With regard, to the rights of Hudson Bay
Bay :
These rights were granted to them by license.
The Speaker | ileum ken] suggested that this li
cense teiened to trade w th Indians only, and not
with white men.
His Excellency replied that at the time of the
granting of the licenee t ere were no white men
resident in the Terri’ory; and added that he had
received advices from the Home Government
wuich left no doubt that the Hudson Bay Cos. did
possess the exclusive right ot navigation and trade.
2. Whether the Executive had assumed any au
thority over Eraser Ewer.
llis Excellency replied that he had not assumed
any Buck authority ; but as the representative of
the Crown, had taken measures to preserve law’
and order, and had made regulations enforcing tbe
navigation laws of Great Britain. He had allowed
persons to go up the river, aud had granted them
licenses to mine ; had appointed custom house offi
cers and just ices of the peace, and had called upon
H. M. S. Satelite to assist in preventing any viola
tion of the navigation law's.
The Speaker desired to know w hether, having
taken, or undertaken the government of Fraser
river, this act in itself did not abrogate the right of
the Hudson Bay Company to exclusive navigation
11 ;a Excellency replied that it w’aa entirely out of
his power to abrogate any of the rights or privileges
of the Hudson Bay Cos. Iu fact, so far as he had
gone, he Lai received the sanction of theoffioe*s ot
that body, iu this region Moreover, that the Brit
ish Government regarded treaties as sacred and
binding in all cases.
3 Touching the point by whose authority the
“sufferances” to Eraser river navigation are
granted;
His Excellency stated that they were granted by
virtue ot the power vested m him as representative
of the Crown, as w’ell as by consent of the agents ot
the Hudson Bay Cos. The exclusive right of the
Company to trade aud navigation necessarily ex
eludes the transportation of auy property save
theirs, exceut by their permission.
The Speaker suggested that the miners having
been allowed to go up tbe river, and the Govern
ment having iu a greater or less degree assumed
control o'the stream, it would follow that these
people had a right to be supplied with provisions,
exclusive of the Company s monopoly, and therefore
that British vessels, duly <dear**d here, had a righi
to proceed up the river for that purpose.
His Excellency replied that he must repeat tha’
he bad no authority to diminish or interfere with the
Company’s rights and privileges.
The Speaker suggested that the Hudson Bay
Company had not ihe means of supplyiug the large
number of people that would be at the mines withh
a short tune, ami that it appeared probable that
starvation, or calamities eqaally serious, would en
sue. It would therefore be necessary aud property
allow \ essels to carry provisions.
His Excellency replied, that the matter had given
rise to serious deliberation aud attention. Alread}
permission had been granted to two American
steamers to car y passengers and provision unde’
certain res’ notions Necessity had compelled thi
action, and had also forced hi to act more tr les
illegally, but not unjustly. Should an emergency
arise , permit 4 would of course be granted to othe>
vessel* tor like purposes, and every possible means oe
adopt* and for the prevention of suffering in the mm
ing region.
Tue Speaker suggested that merchants in Eng
land, in view of the restrictions pur upon trade,
uid not be likely to send oat supplies and emi
ants ; thus inflicting a double injury, first on out
country, next on our colony. Ir was also to be
feared that me chants would presume from the fact
of tbe company’s being the only large purchaser,
t at t hey w* u and be more or less at the latter s m- rcy,
who would buy only at a price fixed by themselves,
that is to say. the ships would have no other mar
ket than the Company, to which they might take
their supplies.
His Excellency replied that far from having the
effect teared by the Speaker, the Company’s privi
leges would produce a result exact y the contrary
He thought the present condition of trade offered
greater inducement* to British merchants than an
oi en traffic would do. Touching the price of ar-
I tides, thit depended entirely on supply and de
mand He was quite sure, and the House must
also know, that ttie Hudson Bay Company were up
right *nd honorable, and not likely to stoop to un
| fair dea ing.
! 4. Touching the future government of Fraser
His Excellency said, riiat as this was a matter at
1 present under negotiation, he oould not make any
! tacts known, save in conference . and, that tbe
I House m ; ght know the general outline of his pol
| icy, he Wi uld read extracts from his last despatches
to*the H-unc Government.
Tbe Speaker wished to enquire whether the
Hudson* Bay Company, having the exclusive
right to trade, c mid transfer any part of their right
to others tii%t is to say, whethrr they eou.d grant
! sufferanct-s to any other parties to trade
I The Governor suggested, that in issuing suffer
I ances, the Company did not transfer tbeir rights , in
I fact, that the regulations aud stipulations did not
j interfere with t; etn. Tbe H use must recollect tha:
|i t Vas he cot joint act of the Governor as Execu
i tive and the Governor as part of the Hudson Bay
Comp ny His Excellency added, tha he has been
actuated by two motive* .—lst To do full justice
to ths Hudson Brt Company. 2d. To promote by
i every iMjuimate means the weltare ana prosperity
of the Colony. He was always wiUicK to impart
information 10 the House, and was pleased that
i Lis Conference iad been asked.
The Shel'.byville Expositor of the 7th inst. relates
en incident highly creditable to tbe citiiens of fbat
town. A man reached that place on the Tuesday
: previous, drawing a little wagon containing his
i wife and several children, together with clothing
and provisions as were necessary to enable them to
g- on their way. They were returning from Kan
►i* to East Tennessee. Tbe man Lad drawn thr
! wagon from some point on tbe Tennessee river, ip
Mia&httkppi. Some ©f our citizens, says the Expost
j tor. made up about $35 for him. placed him and
• family oo the cars, and sent them on their way re
i joiciug. This was rigtt. for there is no doubt that
they deserved it. We trust that the poor fellow
! may safely reach home wi h ni* family, and that he
will be cured of th it longing for anew country
which has ii jured so many gvod men, and brought
j distress to so many poor families —SashvtUe Union.

Advices from Great Salt Lake City to the 17th of
July have been receved. Toe army was in good

city, it is stated, had resumed its wonted aapect.
nearly ail the refugees having returned to their

of peace at last advices, but their hatred of the
GeDtiie irruption wss manifested in various unplea

Camp Floyd, Cedar Valley, July 16th,” from which
we take the following:
The Troops is Camp —The march from tbe Jor
dan to the present camp was about eleven milea up
a gradual aacect to the base of a snow-covered
range of mountains. Here we are, it is Baid, to re
nriaic until the email assaque, or irrigating ditch,
which runs through the camp dries up. Tbe head
quarters and staff are near the mouth of tbe Canon,
and then below, along the aaeaque, is the 12-pound
battery, manned by a company of the 4th infantry,

company and a detachment of mounted rifles, one
company of the let cavalry, one company of the

three of tue 3d infantry; below this last command
is Fhelp’s light battery, and in the rear of the laet
two tbe 2d dragoons.

and apparent y not moistened since the deluge, is
earned about by the wind iu all directions, and de
posited among our papers, clothing, books, bedding
and food, in quantities sufficient to insure our con
sumption ol our peck regularly each week. Deser
tions from the army have been frequent of late, un
der circumstances leading to the conviction that the
Mormons are inciting it.
The weather is intensely warm during the day,
but the n ghts are cool and pleasant. Tue troops
will in a few days move fourteen miles further weet
A line of diiiy stage coaches, between this city and
tbe camp has been established and is liberally pa
tronised. The volunteer battalion is to etart on
Monday next on the march for Fort Leavenworth,
where it will be dir-banded Those members of the
corps who prefer to be discharged hee, aud be em
ployed in the quartermaster s department, are to
be provided for in that way, and those who desire
to go to California are to be discharged at camp
with two months’ rations.
A market plaoe has been erected in rear of the
camp where the Saints may bring their notions and
cell them under the protection of a guard. Milk,
buttermilk, butter eggs, cheese, onions and potatoes
are the staples, milk at twenty-five cents per quart,
butter sixty cents per pound, eggs sixty cent* per
dozen, cheese sixty cents per pound, onions twenty
five cents a email bunch, old potatoes two dollars,
and n*-w four dollars per bushel are the usual prices.
Notwiih tandingtbe people in this city have
qu te settled down in their homes again, we had no
public service last S ibbath, and it is said there is
to be no public assemblage of the people again un
til wiutei. The church leaders, however, are al
most constantly in oounoil. Brigham remains con
stantly confined to his house, and has not been seen
out of door* since his arrival in the city. All ths
gateß in the walls which surround his block are
locked and barred, except the one directly in front
of his own private office, at which a guard of five
men is stationed continually, and no one i admitted
even within the outer gate, until his name has been
sent in, aud Brigham has consented to see him.
The refugees returning from the southern settle
ments continue to line the road with their trains of
wagons, herds and flocks. Some of these traina
presents scenes by no means pleasant to the eye.—
Here we see a young girl of eighteen, with bare
feet and a half-clad form, driving a yoke of oxen,
and there, a tender litt'e girl of scarcely eight
years of age, whipping up two or three ob
streperous pigs, dragging her little feet wearily and
painfully over the sharp gravel road. The wagons
are unusually phed up with the coarsest and com
monest furniture, with a chicken coop and its cack
ling occupants strapped upon the rear. Sometimes
the pig occupies this post, and the chickens are
p uked inside the vehicle with the children. But
< very where poverty—poverty—squalid poverty,
meets us, turn aa we will. Spend half an hour in a
merchant's store, and w r e see old women and young
girls in plentiful numbers, approaching with a tew
new potatoes, a dozen eggs, a handfull of onions, a
pound or two of butter, which they—half hopingly
aud half doubtingly— ffer in barter for some trifle
of goods—a yard of cotton or calico, or a little
thread—casting their eyes wistfully, the while, over
the well-filled shelves of goods of which they are so
much in need The people have been warned not
to trade with the Gentiles, but the cases are so nu
merous in which the law of necessity is stronger
than the law ot the church, that the merchants are
driving a brisk trade, sending their barter supply of
provision to the camp, where they find ready sales.

Another Telegraphic Project—i 4 Line to
Havana , Yucatan , Mexico, Tchuan f epec , Nicara
gua, Panama and Sun Francisco. —The succens
of the Atlantic cable will encourage the establish
ment of other lines with more or less submarine
w ire to other pot f ions of the globe. Among these
is tbe proposed route from Key West Florida, to
Havana; thence to Yucatan across to Tehuante
pec, aud down to Panama, and ultimately to San
Francisco.
In 1856, Horace B. Tebbetts, Esq., of this city,
w’ell known for his pioneer efforts iu the building of
the Newfoundland Telegraph, visited Florida to ob
tain from tbe Legislature of that State the charter
of a Company to establish a telegraphic connection
between Key West and Havana. He did not sue
ceed in getting through a special Act for that pur
pose, but achieved the passage of a general law,
broad and liberal enough to entourage him in his
efforts. Mr. Tebbets then went to Havana, and
enlisted the co operation of Messrs. Torresas and
Saina, and another gentleman, all large and enter
prising capitalists, through whom application was
made to tbe Governor-General of Cuba, for the
necessary grant, covering a period of twenty-five
years. •
The Governor General approved the project iu
April, 1857, and the papers were then sent to Ma
drid to receive the royai ratification. This would
undoubtedly have been given loug ago, but for the
fact that the Spanish Government preferred to wait
for the successful completion of the Atlautic Tele
graph line, which was then a matter of serious
doubt. The main advantage to be derived by
Bpain from the Cuban Telegraph, was considered
to depend on the triumph of the great ocean enter
prise, as Madrid will then be brought in complete
telegraphic communication with Havana. It is pro
posed that the royal assent will be given immediate
ly after the Atlautic line has been put into practical
operation, and that Mr. Torresas, Who had been at
Madrid for some time past to forward the interests
of the “Cuban Telegraph Company,” will return to
Havana with the ratified documents sometime in
September next, when the Company will be formed,
and go to work.
The distance from Key West to Havana is only
seventy miles, and the cost of laying the cable, it is
said, will be about SSOO a mile. The cable will be
of the “three threaded” pattern—that is with three
insulated conductors. The Magnetic Telegraph
Company have agreed to build a branch from Sa
vannah, Ga ,to Key West, so that at no distant
day, New York can be put in telegraphic connec
tion wth Havana. The advantages of such a line
to shippers and tradeis iu New York and elsewhere
are 100 obvious to ueed pointing out.
The same company proposes to run wires from
Havana to Cape Antonio, the extreme westerly
point of Cuba, thence across the chaunel to Yuca
tan, a distance of about forty miles, where it will
connect with a line already built to the City of
Mexico. They also propose to extend the wires
from Yucatan to Tehuantepec on the Pacific, about
four hundred miles, and south from Tehuantepec to
Panama, about eleven bundled miles, passing
through Nicaragua—thus affording telegraphic
communication with the United States and Caba
for the steamboat and railroad companies at Pana
ma, the steamboat company of Nicaragua, and to
all ships that may choose to send messages from
those point*.
Lastly, this company propose to construct a line
from Tehuantepec to Santiago, where there is al
ready a line to San Fiancisoo, three hundred miles
north. The distance from Tehuantepec to Santia
go is not far from two thousand miles. The line
will pass through a country pretty well settled.
We will not undertake to say how eoon, if ever,
all this will be accomplished, but it is all within the
purview of the company.
Excitement among the Colored Population.
-A man arrived from Pontiac yesterday afternoon,
brinKinjj in elligence that a fugitive had been ar
rested in that city by a Southerner, who intended
to bring him on the Detroit and Milwaukie Railway.
The train on which it was expected that they would
arrive was due at about 1 o’clock, and at that time
a large crowd of colored people assembled at the
lepot, armed and equipped for a valorous fight and
rescue. If any unluoky Smtherner had arrived at
hat prooise moment, he would undoubtedly have
teen blown into sma 1 atom*, if blowing could effeot
<uch an event As i was, the extra wind was ex
oended lor nothing, as no Southerner and no fugi
ue s'ave were found upon the cars at the arrival
nfthetraiD. The sable individuals were much dis
appointed thereat, and immediately made more vig
rous demonstrations than ever. Some wag, who
[.predated a good joke, hurried into the depot at
this juncture, and informed the crowd that the par
ies of whom they were in search had got off at the
junction three miles out, and were waiting there to
ake the train for Toledo. The valiant corps in
■oantly rushed out of doo-s, and. the last that was
seen of them, the whole body were streaking it up
he railroad track at a good speed, coat tails stick
ing out straight, and heels invisible for dost. Two
>r three fat ones broke down on the first quarter,
and, with a couple of wenches, were left behind. It
was surmised that the wiud was pretty much work
ed out of the rest by tbe time the three miles were
accomplished. The affair was intensely funny.—
t he probability of tbe matter is, that the excitement
was tbe result of a practical joke, played by some
person who had a telish tor tbe ludicrous, and de
■ured to have s .me quiet spot for his own particular
benefit. It any such arrest had been made we
hould have known it long sinoe. —Detroit Free

Washington City, August 16, 1858.
Reception of the News.
Washington, Aug. lb, P. M. —The message of
the Queen of England, and the certainty of tbe
successful working of the cable was received with
joyful demonstrations in New York, Philadelphia,
Baltimore, Nashville, Louisville, New Orleans,
Lancaster, and at every point heard from.
In moat of the cities theie will be a general cele.

Land Grants.
Washington, Aug 12,1858. —The Commissioner
of the General Land Offioe has replied to ?n inqui
ry, respecting the right and extent of the indemnity
selections allowed to Alabama by the railroad grant
to that State by the act of June 3, 1856, to aid in
the construction of the Girard and Mobile railroad,
etc.; where the sections within the Bix miles limits
had previously been disposed by the United States.
The principle hereinafter declared is of general ap
plication. The Commissioner states that the in
demnity sections must be taken between the six
and fifteen miles limits in alternate sections, “nearest
to the tiers of sections” granted “in place.” No
selection can be made by skipping any vacant
tract, if nearest the seotion in place ; but if it should
so happi n that there are no vacant lands for the
indemnity near at hand, the section may advance
on until it reaches the terminus, and from the por
tion nearest; and if it should be necessary to take
the whole of the alternates between the six and fif
teen mile limits to satin y the deficiency on
account of the sale of thesections in place, it
may be done on the terms herein before indi
cated. Referring to the fourth section of the
said act of June 3, 1856, making the railroad
grant, which prescribes the terms upon which
the State may sell one hundred and twenty
sections from time to time—the Commissioner states
that the Land Office takes no heed of what the
State may do in that respect, so far as the action of
the offioe is concerned in making out lists of selec
tions and certifying the same, that, being u condition
ot which the State must take cognisance itself, so as
to avoid making sales not warranted by law. All
that the Land Offioe has to do, ia to certify the selec
tions lawfully made, leaving the State itself to fulfil
all conditions the grant has imposed upon it, saving
the vendues from being recipients of invalid titles.

I do hereby certify that Mrs E. O. Lampkin purchased
five fifty saw gins of Mr Thomas Wynne, of Richmond
county, near Be!-Air, and they are first rate gms, lam
three of them, and they are the best I have ever
used. They run longer, aud do the best work, with less
trouble to keep them iu good running order thau auy
otner. I can turn out on either c f the three gms, with
one mule, one thousand to twelve hun Ired pouuds
of lint per day, and make good staple and clean seed,
the gin running free of heat. I have ginned on one of the
above gins, nearly one thousand bales, and the gin is
still almost good as new They hrve not been whetted,
nor have they as yet cost the first cent for repairs. I
giuned the other day, with one mule, in two and a half
hoars, or three at the outside, one bale weighing four
hundred and sixty six pound*, and left -o e fifty pounds
of lint at the giu. I live twenty-t wo miles from Augusta,
ana I sent it off as soon as possible to A \\ L msta on a
wagon. It reached Augusta before four o’clock tne same
day. This gin is one of Mr. Thomas Wynne’s Improved
Open Throat Curved Breast Gins. I will want one
more of the same kind ot gius next tall for anothe- p an
tation. Thomas H. peek
ATTEST. —I witnessed the ginning of the above bale

NEW YORK, August 13.— Dry Goods —Trade is per
haps more generally distributed this week among im
porters, as most oi the leading houses have nfiw fair
stocks to i.ffer. A cousiuprab e number of Western and
Soutoern buyers are in market, though not so many as
in former years at this time, as for several reasons the
demand will open later than usual. But sellers of goods
complaiD chiefly of small bills; their time is mostly oc
cupied with sales which do not foot up one-half a large as
in good seasons, but which take quite as much time to
negotiate.
If importers continue to operate with < aution, it seems
probable that tnere will be sale for novelties at fa>r prices
Jate in the season ; iu domestic goods the production is
somewhat increasing, bat not essentially. Old goods
can be bought as favorab y at private as public sale and
new goods, unless after this time the supplies increase
disproportionately wil not be forced upon tl e market
in any great quantity, through the auction rooms.

TO THE PLANTERS OF THE
EMPIRE STATE.
I WOULD moat c< raially invite the attention of my
friends and tbe Planters generally, to an implement,
invented by myself, and patented on the 20th October,
1 he object of this invention is to increase the profits
of manual labor. Its merits have been thoroughly test
ed upon my own farm ; and it has been pretty generally
in rod need to the Planters in the adjoining counties of
Georgia and Florida, w ho place the Lighest eatitna e up
on it, and are availing themseivea of its great advan
tages. I can assert from actual test, that ‘.ou save by
the use of this implement 50 to 100 per cent manual ia
bor, as will be testified to by hundreds who are acquaint
ed it* superior advantages.
The Double-Acting, Circle-Adjusting
‘PLOW,
Is so peculiarly con* t. acted that you may ruo it with
one two, or three shares of any width irom 3 to 12 inch
es, deep or sha low. Aiso, as a subaoi.er, I run a turn

REPAIRING.
I would also say to the planters, that I repair Gins, of

TEST.
If any one doubts what I say aa to the performance’
durabil ty and simplicity ol my Gins, I invite all parties
to give me due notice, aud meet me half way, with any
three fifty saw Gins—to be driven by two mules—that
the may be tested by three disinterested Judges
Each competitor to tak* au oath that not a pound of
Cotton has ever been gi ined on the said gins. Ti e oer
t ficate oi the judges to be given to the best gin. All

maker of the burned gin to be published by the
judges.

gin, and it has only had one whetting, (last fall,) and It is
a very good gm yet, and I think it will gin as much more
cotton oefore it will require a thorough repairing. I
would recommend all planters in want of a good gin to
purchase one of the said gins, made by Thomas Wynne,
of Bel-Air, Ga. Charles Baston.

and fine tooth ginned s’ ea Island cotton. We have done
as you requested in regard to showing the tamples to the
other manufacturers in this region. The certificate of
E. J. W Morse a- Cos. will not be worth much to yon, o
course; but it wa. the best we could get from -them,
and, as it is, it >s much better than we expected they
would give. We are well satisfied that they tuought
bett rof tho cotton than they have Stated in their oer
ttiicate. One thing is true, we can tell muoh better af
ter having worked some of the cotton Into thread, and
can prooably then give you a much setter certificate
than now, as we wouid wish to observe its geueral ap
pearanee. try its strength, etc. Toe M ears Morse are
uot practically in the business, as we are but leftve
everything to their hlreo overseers, while we attend to
these matters personal y. We do not observe any diffe
rence In the coarse or flue tooth cotton, only, pe baps,
the tine tooth kind may be a litre cleaner j but iu
theory the coarse tooth would be best, as hai ug been
exposf and less to * abrasiou,” or wear 01 the fibre, and
therefore would prefer to have the cotton ginned on the
ooarse tooth gin. We enclose moi e sam pies of our labels
printed for half and quarter pounds. When you and.

matter, aad have done the be t we oouid so >ar for you
and will do sj still more, and we hope you will give us
the best chance you can wi h the lot of coitou you are to
