TUESDAY, fcfcPl*Ea4 7
The i resident’s Cable Message-Criti
cism of the English Press.
The last dei-p itch from dated Sep
tember 2d , which was publnhid in the last Im
pre-sion of this JcU'nal, i itorms us, that the Piesi
d.-nt’a reply to the Queen’s message was not en
tirely acceptable to the Et g is-h people— that the
“London papers unfavorably criticise the last par
agraph.”
Our readers have all read the Presidents mes
sage to the Queen and it will and; übtle?3 surprise
them to hear, that every word of it did not receive a
hearty endorsernt-m from ourtrans Atlantic friends.
Such however is not the case. The paragraph in
the Pre&Hent’f massage to which the dispatch re
fers, reads as follows;
“In this view, will not all the nations ol Chris
tendom, spontaneously unite in the declarad >n
that it shall be foiever neutral, and that its com
munications shall be held sacred in passing to the
places of their destination, even in the midst of
hostilities.”
Why so patriotic a sentiment should not find a
responsive echo in the hearts of ths Engli h peo
ple, we are left to conjecture. The Government
of the Uniied States we thought was to share
eq ally with England ail she advantages to be de
rived from the Atlantic Cable—Lord Derby was
understood to have guaranteed it and under this
impression Congress stipulated a subsidy of $70,-
OuO a year for this great enterprise. The people
of New York have celebrated thi3 great achieve
ment in practical science by bon fires and illumi
nations and their hearts have swelled with patri
otic pride, as they contemplated the great impetus
it would give to trade and its effect upou the com’
merce of the country. Are not their rejoicings
premature? Does not the line to England run
through one.thousand miles of British territory be
fore it arrives at its staring point on this Conti
nent? Does not the unfavorable criticism ol the
British press upon that portion of Mr. Buchanan’s
message which embodies the sentiment, that the
communications through the cable shall be held
sacred In time of war,have a signifieaney inappre
ciable at tha present moment ? Does it not ?peak
in tones too audible to be misunderstood, that the
British Ministry regard that paragraph in the Pres
ident’s message as arrogant and presumtuous?—
That the idea of preserving a neutrality in the
communications between the two countries in time
of war, was not for a moment entertained by ihe
British Cabinet, who have the entire control and
supe veilJance of the cable line ?
Then, while we rejoice at so great an achieve
ment in the annals of practical science, let us un
derstand clearly that we are to share a correspond
ing advantage with England in its benefits— If not,
we are indisposed to hold so great an interest as
$70,000 a year at her pleasure.
Mr. Yancey’s Letter—The League,
The last issue of the Richmond Enquirer con
tains a letter from the lion. Wm. L. Yancey, of
Alabama, to Roger A. Pryor Esq Editor of the
Richmond Souih—in reply to certain editorials,
which have appeared in the columns of this J mr~
nal in relation to the ends and aims of the‘‘South
era Leaguers.” We are not able to give Mr.
Yancey’s letter to our readers and can merely say,
that he vi idicates the members of the League from
the charge of disloyahty to a Constitutional Union,
and an antagonism to the Democratic party.—
While we cannot see the necessity of the forma
tion of a “League of United Southerners” and
doubt the policy of such a movement by good
democrats, yet if it does not exceed the objects
set forth in it3 Constitution and is an organiza
tion distinct and separate from any political party
and is intended merely to create a sound, healthy,
Bouthern sentiment, we surely can have no ob
jecion to it. Were i to become a party, however,
it would assume a ptlitical asj ect in spite of the
Consti ution and its eff-ct upon the Democratic
party w uld 1 e other than tha’ contemplated by
ao distinguished a member as William L. Yan
cey.
Hamilton Female College.
, We havj r ceived a catalogue of this Institution
t for the tcholastic year ending July Ist, 1358. It
is pre-iled over by Mr. J. H. Lovelace, who is
cap cited for the position. The College numbers
eigh y two students. Among the Trustees, we
not Ci the name* of Messrs. James N Ramsey,
J. M. Mobley, W. J Hud-on and D. P. Hill.
Yellow Fever—New Orleans.
The returns of the Board of Health show some
thing of a didi o since the beginning of the wek.
The interments throughout the city, by the yellow
fever, lor the twenty four hours ending Tiesday
noon, numbered 42 ; and for the Uventy-four
hoursendii g Wednesday noon, 49.
It Is impossible to tell when the fever has
reached its climax. The cool nights and pleas
ant days have passed away, and the warm weatli*
er may have a tendency to aggravate the disease.
Quarantine attacked by a Mob—ln
cendiarism—Excitement.
New York. Sept. 2.—At Staten Island
last night about a thousand men broke into
the quarantine grounds, and set the hospital
and shanties on fire. They threatened to
fir? the residence of Dr. Thompson, the
health officer, who calling together the ste- j
vedores who are engaged in unloading ves
sels, armed them with muskets to protect |
the buildings. The hospital and many of |
the shanties are now a mass of ruins.
Captain Belton, of the harbor police, came
up to this city at a late hour last night for
an additional police force, as the mob was
in a furious state, and it was not known
what would be their next movement.
The Season at Saratoga.— The Sara
togiau, summing up the results of the sea
son at Saratoga, says :
“.Onlv fourteen establishments have been
reported for the pre.-s, while there are
probably about one hundred hoarding hous
es in town. Taking the arrivals at these,
with the arrivals at the hotels during the
month of June, and we have no doubt that
over 26.000 strangers have visited the
place within the last three months. And
as the flow of visitation is by no means yet
materially diminished, it is safe to estimate
that the sum total for the season will
reach, if it does not exceed, 30,000.
“Sppaking your mind,” says Douglas
Jerrold, “‘is an extravagance that has ruined
many a man.

Latest from Havana*
New Yoke, Sep 3. P. M —The steam snip Ca

The Crops.
We hear from exchanges nothing but
gloomy accounts of the cotton crop. The
boll-worm, red-rust, and rot, have, in the
last three months, played sad havoc with !
the anticipations of planters, and the yield, j
which was hoped would have proved unu
sually large has dwindled down to a very
moderate expectancy. It is even estimated
that the loss suffered by the cotton plant
in consequence of causes assigned above,
amounts to so much as twenty per cent.;
but the estimate is too large for our belief.
Planters are very prone to be too sanguine
of an usually large crop when the plant is
doing finely, and loaded with blooms, and
squares, and young bolls, and equally too
apt to be desponding when any disaster to
which the plant is liable, causes it to fall
back. That the crop will not be overwhelm
ingly large, is universally conceded; but
I hat as much, if not more cotton, will be
made in 1850 than was grown in 1857, per
sons having the best opportunity of being
informed, believe.— Montgomery Confede
ration, Sept. 4th.

Love and Intellect.
“There is scarcely anything in the En
glish language, which more touchingly ex
presses the subordination of intellect to the
winsomeness of love, than the following:
II ■aven knows how many simple letters
from simple-minded women have been kiss
ed, cherished and wept over by men of far
loftier intellect. JSo it will always be to the
end of time. It is a lesson worth learning
by these young creaturers who seek to al
lure by tlieir accomplishments and dazzle
by their genius, that though he may admire,
no man ever loves a woman for these
things. He loves her for what is essential
ly distinct from, though not incompatible
with them-—her woman’s nature, and iter
woman s heart, This is why we so often
see men of high genius or intellectual power
pass by the De Staels and Corinnes, to fake
to his bosom some wayside flower, who has
nothing on earth to make her worthy of
him except that she is—what so few of our
‘female celebrities’ are—a true woman.
The Grain Trade of Chicago.
From the Chicago Times, Aug. 3i.
During the last week there has been re
ceived at Chicago 10.884 barrels of flour,
401.783 bushels of wheat, 654.053 bushels
of corn, (the greatest amount of com re
ceived here in any one week this season,
exceeding eyen the receipts of last week,
which were 589,933 bushels,) and 27,443
bushels of oats, making over a million of
bushels of grain—-namely, 1,137,724 hush

At this time last year, the receipts had
been 165,000 barrels of flour, 3,050,000
bushels wheat, 6,500,000 bushels of corn,
and 650,000 bushels ol oats, making 11,—
025,000 bushels of grain, and showing an
increase in the receipts of this year over
last year up to this time of 4,682,995 bush
els.
The shipments by lake during the lost
1 week have been 7.880 bbls. flour, 151,735

• OC7“In Senator Seward’s speech at Au- |
; burn, on the Atlantic Telegraph, we find j
i the following passage: “While Adams and j
Jefferson in their closets were studying the j
mode of the new system of government |
based on the rights of man, and prepar- |
ing the people of these then British colonies !
for its acceptance, a mechanic, a printer in
Philadelphia, Franklin, was persevering!}-j
engaged in identifying the lightning ol the j
skies with the electricity which pervades i
the earth, and subjecting that hitherto fear- j
tul element to the service of mankind.”
Upon this the New York Tribune shows i
its spite against Mr. Seward, by remark- j
mg that this kind of attempt at drawing
parallels and grouping facts is very attrac- I
live but also very dangerous Nine times
out of ten, these rhetorical flourishes will*
not bear a close examination. In the above j
passage the orator in his wish to be striking
tails into a curious anachronism. Franklin j
made hisgreat discovery of the identity of
of electricit y and lightning in the summer
of 1752. John Adams at the time was a
sophomore in Harvard College, and Jeffer
-1 son a school boy in his tenth year. The
.evolution at that time had not beenthought j
of, and still less any new system of govern- j
meat based on the rights of man.

Indians as Matter of Fact.—-A man
who had been West, and been chased by
an Indian, writes:
“Much has been said by poets and ro
i mantic young ladies about ihe picturesque
j aspect ami the noble form of an untamed,
untamable warrior of the prairie, and far
be it from me to gainsay them. 4n Indian
|is a noble spectacle—in a picture, or at a
safe distance—but when this ‘noble spec
tacle,’ in company with a dozen other
•noble spectacles,’ is moving his moccasins
1 in your direction,and you have to do seme
Ital! walking in order to keep the capillary
| substance on the summit of your cranium,
! all his ‘nobility’ vanishes, and you see in
; him only a painted, greasy miscreant, who
! will, it y>u give him a chance, lift your
hair with the same Christian spirit, com
; posed and most serene, with which he
I would ask another ‘spectacle’ for ‘a little
j more of that baked dog.’ I ved to think
| like the poet ; now the sigh* >f an Indian
j gives me a cramp in the stomach.”
, Migration and Importation. —The anti-
Chinese law of California, as wo expected,
has engaged attention to the powers of the
, State io repel any class of immigration,
| and the powers and duties of the Federal
’ Government under the 9th section of the
first article of the Constitution of the Uni
ted States,
The clause of the section referred to,
reads as follows:
“The migration or importation of such
i persons as any of the States, now existing,
! shall think proper to admit, shall not be
prohibited by the Congress prior to the
year 1808, but a tax or duty may be im
posed on such importation not exceeding
ten dollars forearch person.”
The Congress has only exercised these
{lowers here implied, or supposed, in for
j bidding the migration or importation ol one
class of persons. The States severally
have exercised it in reference to intermigra
tion of classes below citizenship; but no
State, we believe, before the late instance
of California, has forbidden the entrance
j from abroad of a class not repelled by the
! federal law.
It is reported that M. Hall Maeallister, of
j California, late of Georgia, has given an
; opinion against the California law, as in-
I fringing on the powers of Congress in the
I regulation of commerce.- Charles'n Courier
A Railroad to Europe.
A correspondent of the New York Tii—
S bune, proposes a railroad direct to Europe,
i Hoar him :
Let America, England, France and Rus
j sia form an alliance, or co-partnership ; stop
j all wars; turn the same attention, means,
i men and money which those Governments
i have expended to curse the world for fifty
| years past, to the mighty and enoblmg pur-
I pose of leveling ihe hills of Scotland and
ihe hills and mountains of the New Eng**
land Stilus into a railroad across the At
lantic [ Whew !—Ed.] on a direct line from
some proper point on the American coast to
i some other proper point on England’s coast,
j elevated at least sixty feet above the level
| of the sea, and not less than a mile wide on
i the top.
I The mines and minerals thus disclosed
would go lar toward defraying, if not alto
gether, the expenses of the enterprise; add
to this, the sale of lots bordering on the
railroad in the centre, and running back
half mile, would add a very pretty hem,
| Then lay a track of large rails, with a
groove of four inches square in each rail;
! in this groove insert a bar of cast steel, four
J inches square, and you have a permanent
; road.
Improve the raiiroad cars, by using no ;
• wheel less than sixteen feet in diameter;!
; let them run upon the extreme outside of j
j the cars, with track wide enough to accom- j
I modate ; make your cars two stories high, !
letting the axle of the w heels pass just un
der the upper story, and four wheels, and
no more, to any car; then put the same
motion to those wheels that is now given to
our car wheels; and you may breakfast at
the American terminus depot, and take tea
at 5 P. M at the European terminus, trans- i
act business until 6 o’clock to-morrow
morning, and sup at 5 o’clock, P. M. at the J
American terminus depot, &e.
The Prophet tells us that “every monn- •
tain and hill shall be made low, and every
valley shqll be exalted,” &c. This is to be i
done by man’s labor; and since railroads i
and canals are being made, we have the 1
truth of the prophecy in a degree fulfilled ; j
and since the hills of Scotland and moun- j
tains of New England must “be laid low,” j
the sooner the better. \V hat part of the ;
world has been blessed with war for the j
last forty years 1 sayiDg nothing of the time
prior. Look at the millions multiplied by
millions of money far worse than thrown
away; sacrificed in that time ! Look at the
powder burnt to kill men—enough to blast
all the rocks in this enterprise! and iron
used in cannon and balls—enough to make
the rail across the Atlantic ! and men’s la
bor and lues enough sacrificed to build
this road in fifty years to come ! Had this
been begun on my principle fifty years ago,
the labor lost, and the money and other
means worse than lost, would have effected
my taiiroad to completion. Then the teie- j
graph might have been laid with little
trouble, and easily mended, if broken.
Yellow Fever on Revenue Cutters.
-—A letter from on board the U. S. Cutter

of the U. S. Cutter Robert McClelland, ly
ing at the same place, died of the lever on

| We congratulate our cotemporaries on
the vast improvement which they have

We hope it may have a prosperous career
I in this new enterprise, though of one thing
! we will assure it in advance, it is no easy
