Nothing could have been more auspicious,
a-- iudiciiting’at once the success and utility
of the Atlantic Telegraph, than the first Lus-
tncss di .-paUh >ent e ver it. announcing that
pouce had been made with China; that (lie
hostilities which had been for the last couple
of years waged by the natives of France and
England against that old mystic Asiatic cm-
piro had ceased; and that the hoary ramparts
of prejudice and cxclosivism had received an
other mighty shock, from which they were
tottering to their very base, if, indeed, they
Iku! not already fallen. It was a providcu-
tial inauguration of tlie wonderful highway
of intelligence that lias been stretched from
continent to continent. It was a wonderful
verification ol the motto so often applied to it
—“(.lory to God in the highest atid on earth
peace and good will toxvard men.”
A\ itli our imperfect knowledge of the actual
tel ins of the treaty made with China, and of
1“®'internal trade which, as a consequence
ot that treaty, will be opened up to-us in com
mon with all the other commercial nations of
the world, xve can have at this day hut a gen
eral conception of the full importance ot the
despatch which announced tlie establishment
of peace. . it will be exactly sixteen years to
morrow since what is usually denominated
the opium war was brought io a close by the
signing—on the 29th of August, 1842—of the
treaty on board the Cornwallis by the repre
sentatives of Great Britain and China. By
tho terms of that treaty five ports were thrown
open to foreign commerce, at which consular
officers of the various governments were to
reside, and the import and export trade was
to be established on regular and just princi
ples. Three years subsequently—on the 31st
of December, 1843—the ratifications of a treaty
between China and tho United States were
exchanged, by which our citizens were enti
tled to the same commercial and other privile
ges, extended, or to be extended, to the sub
jects of tho most favored nations, aud by which
also leave was granted for the erection of hos
pitals, chapels and cemeteries at the five ports,
and for our ships of war to visit any part of
the coast. These privileges, however, arc now
considerably extended by the new treaty en
tered into with Chinn by the representatives
of Franco and England, in the benefits cf
which wc, of course, participate.
The last news which wo lmd received from
Chinn previously to this telegraphic despatch,
was that whereby we learned that the forts of
Tu-Ku, at the mouth of the I’ei-IIo river, hail
been captured by the naval forces of France
and England, in the presence of the represen
tatives of Russia and tho United States. That
cveut took place on the 20th of May, and it
was presumed that the advantages thus gained
would be pushed until the large commercial
city of Ticn-sin, some sixty miles up the river,
and containing three hundred thousand in
habitants, would be occupied by the allied
troops, and until the foreign ambassadors
were properly received at the imperial capi
tal of Peking. By our last tiles of English
papers we learn that no opposition was made
to the advance of the forces to Tien-sin ; that
Lord Elgin and Baron Gros, the English and
French Plenipotentiaries, took up their quar
ters in the vicinity of the city on the 29th of
May, in a residence prepared for them by the
Mandarins ; that Mr. Reed and Count Putin-
tin, the American and Russian Plenipotentia
ries, gained the same point next day, and that
negotiations had been opened, and were sup
posed to he progressing favorably. The com
plement to this intelligence is that which was
Hashed over the Atlantic cable on Wednes
day, informing us lhat peace had been con
cluded—that England mid France had obtain
ed all their demands including the establish
ment of embassies at Pekin and indemnifica
tion for the expenses of the war. Further
particulars are contained in a London des
patch of yesterday, published under our tele
graphic head, and which appeared in yester
day afternoon’s edition of the Herald, by
which wc are informed that the Chinese em
pire is open to the trade of all foreign Powers,
that the Christian religion is allowed in all
parts of the country, and that foreign diplo
matic agents are admitted.
Although the United States cannot be said
to havo ua<l any hand in the obtaining of these
concessions, wc will nevertheless he the fore
most in deriving advantages from them. The
ramparts of Chinese exclusiveness being thus
demolished, the whole political, commercial
and social life of China will soon he exposed
to view, to be operated upon by all the Pow
ers of an enlightened and active civilization.
Pekin itself, that stronghold of Oriental prej
udice and semi-barbarism, will have its gates
thrown open to the world for the first time in
tho long centuries of its existence, and will
have the inner life of its three or four millions
of inhabitants displayed before the eyes of
observant foreigners. What a field will be
thus presented for the operations of the jour
nalist, tho artist, the merchant, the statesman,
the missionary and the incchauic, and what
a vast amount of knowledge will be added to
the literary storehouse of the world!
It is not by the small figures of our present
trade with China that we can estimate the im
portance of that clause of the treaty by which
we learn that the Chinese Empire is open to
the trade of all foreign Powers. The whole
foreign commerce of China did not exceed in
1853 one hundred and twenty millions of dol
lars. Its commerce with the United States
was not more than one-tenth of the whole. In
other words, wc exported to China in 185b
goods and specie to the amount of $2,558,23/,
and imported therefrom tea and silk to the
amount of $10,45-1,430. But when we are
told that the tonnage of China used in the nav
igation of its rivers and canals is larger than
the aggregate tonnage of all the other nations
of the earth; that there arc no less than ten
thousand imperial barges engaged in collec
ting and carrying to Pekin the duties in kind
imposed on tho single article of grain; that an
equal number of barges is employed in collectin'!
the duties on salt; that the annual revenue of
her government amounts tosomc$120,009,000;
that there are over four thousand walled cities
and towns in the empire, many of them rival
ling Pekin in size and population; that tlieic
is not a creek or haven on which there does
not stand a town of commercial importance;
that its great river, Yang-tze-kiang, opens up
the tradoof a hundred millions of people, and
that in industry and enterprise these Celes
tials are not excelled even by ourselves, we
may then form some idea of the immensity, of
the trade that may he established and main
tained with this swarming hive of humanity-
One of the most satisfactory characteristics
of this immense market for Yankee notions,
from steamboats down to pins and needles,
which will he opened among the Chinese, is
the fact that it creates a mutual exchange ot
products, and puts a stop to that immense
drain of silver for China which has so long
disturbed the exchanges of the world-
Ifwe look forward still further, to the tuna
when her rivers and canals will be navigated
by steam ; when from West to East the loco-
motive will traverse her extent of country,
bringing to her harbors on the eastern and
southern coasts the products of her three or
four hundred millions of inhabitants; when
Pekin and Canton, and Nankin and Amoy,
and her other great centres of commerce, will
he connected by cleetric telegraph with Lon-
don and San Francisco, tbfen indeed wc may
begin to realize the magnitude of tins first
piece of new* transmitted over the. little v.-no
that stretches from Valentin t-> Trinity Bay.

Before leaving England 1 had an opportu
nity of seeing a great curiosity, a relic of an
tiquity, which few Englishmen have seen.
You will lie surprised and perhaps incredu
lous. when I iay I have seen the head of Oli
ver Cromwell—not the mere skull, but the
head entire, and in a state of remarkable pre
servation. Its history is authentic, and there
is verbal and historical evidence to place the
thing beyond cavil. Cromwell died at Hamp
den Court, in 1(158, giving the strongest evi
dence of his earnest religious convictions, and
of his sincerity as a Christian. After an im
posing funeral pageant, the body having been
embalmed, lie was buried in Westminster Ab
bey. On th“ restoration of the Stuarts, he
was taken up and hung in Tyburn. After his
head was cut off, a pike driven up through
the neck and skull, and exposed on Westmin
ster Hall. It remained there a long while,
until, by some violence, the pike was broken
and the head thrown down. It was picked
up by a soldier and concealed, and afterward
conveyed to some friend, who kept it careful
ly for years. Through a succession of families,
which can easily be traced, it has come into
the possession of the daughter of Hon. Mr.
Wilkinson, cx-incinbcr of Parliament from
Buckingham and Bromley. It was at the res
idence of this gentleman that I saw the head,
anil his daughter, a lady of fine manners and
great culture, exhibited it to the Rev. Mr. Yer-
rell, the pastor of the Bromley Dissenting
Chapel, and uiyself.
This head of Cromwell is almost entire. The
flesh is black and sunken, hut the features are
nearly perfect, the hair still remaining, and
even the large wart over one of the eyes—
such being a distinctive mark on his face—is
yet perfectly visible. The pike which was
thrust through the neck still remains, the up
per part of iron, nearly rusted off, and the
lower wooden portion in splinters, showing
that it was broken by some act of violence.
It is known historically that Cromwell was
embalmed, and no person thus cared for was
ever publicly gibbetted, except this illustri
ous man. In addition to the most authentic
records concerning the head possessed by the
family, and which I have found sustained by
historical works, and even an old manuscript
in the British Museum, Mr. Flanman, the dis.
tiuguished 5-cIuptor, once gave it as his opin
ion that this was none other than the head of
Oliver Cromwell. Y’et its existence seems al
most unknown in England, and only a few
years ago a discussion in some of the public
journals, which I have seen, alternately de
ified and advocated it. Such a rumor was in
circulation, and as no one had then seen the
head, it having been kept concealed, none
could speak by authority. Recently the mo
tive for concealment has passed away, and
permission to see it was carefully granted. It
is a curious keepsake for a lady, but it is care
fully preserved under lock and key in a box
of great antiquity, wrapped in a number, of
costly envelopes, and when it is raised from
its hiding place and held in one’s hand, what
a world of thought i* suggested.
Tlie Court of “Poker.”
A suit was recently brought before a justice
of peace in Yuba county, California, for the
recovery of seventeen dollars, which a man
had won of another, or rather got possession
of by “bluffing,” while he had four Jacks. The
Marysville Inquirer says Court “let herself”
loose on the question ; aud held that where a
party coollyfjatul deliberately “bluffed” the
bolder of a small winning hand out of his mo
ney, it might well be considered downright
robbery, and he punished as such ; hut the
Court stated that while it w*>uld punish the
party who would be guilty of such “bluffing”
it had no protection or mercy for the man who.
like tlie plaintiff in the case, permitted himself
to be “bluffed” with four in his hand ! Such a
man, in the opinion of the Court, should not
only lose his seventeen dollars “pot,” but re
ceive the jeers of every good poker player in
Yuba county.
Tlie Alligalor Trade.
In our perambulation on the outskirts of
the city, a few days since, we came across au
alligator hunter, who was growing rich from
tlie profits of his singular business.
He came to this city, like thousands of
others, in the belief that money could be made
in almost endless profusion with very little ef
fort, and wearied with disappointment, and
just on the point of coming under the eye of
the police as dangerous or suspicious, being
without a visible means of living, he wandered
into the suburbs, then into the swamps in the
rear of Jefferson City and neigborliood, where
he made his first acquaintance with the Louisi
ana alligator.
His bump of speculation was at once excit
ed. Such a creature was of some utility; his
hide, his oil, his tusks, perhaps his bones,
might find purchasers. So borrowing from a
man who occupied a hut in the neighborhood,
a gun and some ammunition, he declared war
upon the aligators. He dried their hides, he
extracted their oil, lie took out their teeth, and
sure .enough they proved to he merchantable
articles.
Commencing in May last, he bail, up to last
Sunday, killed 400 alligators. Having gain
ed experience by practice, he now hunts at
night and carrying a pan of fire. Attracted
by this unusual light, they come up close to
him, when he finds no difficulty in bringing a
monster down at every shot.
The skins of these alligators tire readily sold
at soveuty-fivc cents apiece. They are man
ufactured into water-proof hoots, and the most
valuable and expensive -shoes to be found in
our market are made from tanned alligator’s
hides. The oil, tusks and hides of these 400
alligators have produced in the hands of our
new hunter acquaintance $5G0, besides paying
his current expenses.
This enterprising original is now looking out
for a suitable location for investment of his
gains in real estate, content that the vicinity
of New Orleans has au abundance of the raw
material which forms his staple of trade.—

Experimental Steam Ship.
A steamship of a novel construction lias ar
rived at Hartlepool from Greenwich, where it
has been built by Messrs. Joyce, to test the
utility of an ingenious contrivance of detach
ing portions of the vessel aud leaving entire
cargoes at an}’ port on the route. The vessel,
which is about 90 feet in length and very nar
row in the beam, is built of iron, and consists
of three separate moveable compartments, which
fit together in sockets and are fastened by
strong iron stays. Tho foremost section is oc
cupied by the crew, the middle compartment
contains the entire cargo,. and the aftermost
part the engiues. It is said that the central
section can he disconnected from the other
two in a few minutes, and an empty hold sub
stituted in its place, so that the vessel can pro
ceed on its course either with a fresh cargo or
in quest of one. The steamer is now loading
with coal for the London market, and will
take in between 30 and 40 tons. If the exper
iment should answer, a vessel of 2000 tons
burden is to he forthwith constructed ou the
same principle.
The Jersey people have invented something
—a harness. The ordinary saddle is dispen
sed with, also the whiflletree and breeching.
The wagon is controlled by two friction rollers
fastened at the end of the shaft bars. Tlie
shafts are held and controlled by the terrots
nt the hanies. The horse can be di tached
from the carriage in a moment, by means ot
two spring hooks, arranged at the forward
end tif the trace,

Wilson and l’hinuey are th© leading members of
the Washington county bar. Sitting opposite one
another at the dinner ta blc—they are always opposite
in prac tice at the bar in the court-house, and agreed
as to the bar in the hotel—Wilsou was describing
the effects of a speech he made a few nights before
in a great political meeting in the village where I’hiu-
nev resides. “Indeed,'' said he, “I never saw the
people so filled with enthusiasm.” “Filled with
what J” cried Phinuey. “With enthusiasm,” repea
ted Wilson. “Oh, ah !” said I’hinney, “I understand;
but I never heard it called by that name before ; we
call it rum!”
The Poet nr or Physic. Doses have always been
associated in our minds with wry faces, and medi-
ciue has seemed from the days of childhood, another
word for nausea and disgust. Its remedies were the
worst part of sickness, and pain was not so hard to
bear as the revolting portions wo are compelled to
swallow for its relief. Dr. Ayer’s preparations herald
another era. His Cherry Pectoral is like honey on
the tongue and healing balm ou the stomach. His
Pills! Try them—they are sweet morsels to the taste,
and glide sugar-shod over tho palate, but their ener
gy although wrapped np, is there, and strikes with
telling force to the very foundations of disease.—

Messrs.Benj. Page, Jr. AUo.—Gentlemen : Itake
great pleasura in saying to you that I made use ot
BtERjIAVE'S HOLLAND BITTERS, which I ob
tained at your store and foand special relief of a se
vere headache, from which I had long suffered, and
I believe they were of service to me in relieving my
stomach and head.
Very respectfully, Ac. SAM'L. K. BABCOCK.
HEADACHE AND DEBILITY.
Mr. Silas J. Lisconib. of Birmingham, says s
“I have found in BCERHAYE’S HOLLAND BIT
TERS a remedy for Headache and Debility. My
wife has also used it with the greatest benefit.”
Mr. A. 8. Nicholson, of Pittsburgh, also remarks
that he 1ms experieitced much relief from its use for
headache.
STRENGTH AND HEALTH RESTORED.
Mr. John Davidson, living ten miles above Pitts
burgh, on the Pennsylvania Canal, says:
“When I commenced taking BCERHAYE’S HOL
LAND BITTERS, I could hardly walk. Now I en
joy excelleut health.”
From the New York News.
What Has Changed you so T—We have all wit
nessed with astonishment the extraordinary and im
proved cbabge' in many a gentleman and lady, who
had become prematurely gray, hut who, by some
means, had been miraculously rejuvenated. There
is a time in life when gray hairs seem to harmonize
with the furrowed brow aud the wrinkled features,
but unfortunately, from some cause or other, thou
sands of young men and women not only witness the
gradual change ot their locks to a “ mottled anil
speckled gray,” but are mortified by the danger of
positive baldnes* from tho actual loss of their hair.
AU this demands a remedy, and a safe one. We nat
urally look about, and ask, in this age of scientific
invention wiio stands highest as the Proprietor and
Manufacturer ot a real hair restorer—a restorer of
color as well as health, a beautificr as well as Sj hair
tonic. We fiud at the head of all tlie claimants, in

Debility of Sexual Organs.
Whether caused by dissipation or otherwise, will
receive not only prompt and efficient aid but a radi
cal cure, from tbo n*e of Risley’s Compound Fluid
Extract of Bucliu, a remedy whose action is exerted
upon tlie Urinary aud Uteriue Organs.
These are forms of Sexual Debility that are often
times very serious, distressing aud intractable, and
wbicli can only be relieved by the exercise of no
little caro and a judicious selection of reme
dial agents and a perseverance in their use. The
above mentioned preparation, if regularly taken,
conjoined with regular and moderate exercise in the
open air, avoiding all habits of a i-eloxing nature, and
last but not least, cold bathing, will not tail in bnng-
in ( ’ about a cure no matter how stubborn or intract
able tlie case may be. As a reliable remedy it stands
very far in advance of all other preparations and if
taken properly will not fail to cure. Abundance ot
testimony of its remedial efficacy in this disease
could be brought before the public eye, was it proper
to do so. The invalid may have every eouttdeiiee
in it for it has been tested in a multitude ot instances,
anil always with the happiest results and too. in
many instances where its use was commenced with
out the slightest particle of faith which of itself is
not unfreqnently sufficient to cause failure. It is
for sale by Druggists throughout the country.
