" Oh ' sweet the flight, at dead of night, When up the immeasurable height The thin cloud wanders - with the breeze • That shakes the splendor from the star, That stoops and crisps the darkling seas, And drives the daring keel afar Where loneliness and silence are! To clear the cre'sted wave, and mark, Drowned in its depth the shattered spark, On airy swells to soar, and rise Where nothing but the foam-bell flies, O'er freest tracts of wild delight, ' Oh, sweet the flight at dead of night! AMERICA IN ENGLAND. Speech by Hr. Handel Cosabant, at Bris - tot,- Eng. At a recent meeting of. the Bristol Ethan cipation Society, Mr. Cossham, one of Sir Morton Peto's party of tourists, made an elegant speech from which we make the following extract ; Mr. Cossham rose to address the meeting and was very loudly cheered, as indeed he was throughout his very lengthened ad dress. He said—l think it is only right that I should acknowledge thus publicly the kindness, and generous feelings that have prompted the gentlemen with whom I have had the pleasure to act, in, connection with the Bristol Emancipation Society, to get up this demonstration, mainly, I know, inconsequence of the triumph of our prin ciples on the American continent; but also, to some extent, in honor of one whose heart has always beat true to the cause of the North and freedom. I feel that, after visiting America, and hiving had opportu nities of investigation And inspection that are rarely enjoyed by travelers, I am able to give information that may be useful, and I freely admit that you are entitled to re ceive all the facts that I have been able to obtain, and to know all that I can tell you as to the present position and future pros pects of America. One thing, at any rate, the war has done, it has obliged the people of this country and Europe to look at America. We now know more of the Great Western Republic than we did up to the commencement of the war and manifestly during its progress there'was in this country a guilty ignorance as to the strength, re sources, patriotism, and power of the New World.; I feel bound in all honesty to say I did not find in America the same ignorance as to this country. They understand Eng land better than we understand America. I venture to say that in thefuture America willplay so important a part in the history of the world that no man will be fit to take a position as a statesman and a public political teacher who does not keep himself informed as to the policy and progress of America. It is important, too, that America should be visited by the right kind of men. They do not want the kid-gloved and mere drawing-room men, who believe in nothing but scented handkerchiefs and Themselves. America does not want "snobs" to visit her; she wants men who can look beyond their noses and see without preju dice the growth of a country that in:7s years bas sprung from three millions of people to - thirty, and that in wealth, intelligence, respect to law, patriotism, and religious feeling is the equal, to say the least, of any of the nations of Europe, not excepting our Own. After such a war, after the sacrifice of blood and treasure which the North have made 2 I did expect to find that they would at any rate be suspicious and somewhat revengeful towards the South. I found, however, nothing, of the kind. From one end of tne country to the other, so far as I - was able to glean, I found sorrowing hearts over the losses that the war had occasioned. I found homes where dear ones -were missing, and hearts blighted and bleeding on account of-eons, brothers, fathers and friends whose bones are now bleaching on the hills of the South, and whose blood has watered the swamps and fields of Southard' States. Butl found no bitterness, no re venge, no angry , feeling, but a determina tion, if the South should prove really loyal, to forget the past and try, by the introduc tion of Northern capital, Northern skill, and Northernenterprise, to heal the wounds and repair the-damage the war has done in the South. Look at the magnanimity, the generosity, and the Christian kindness with - which the Southern people and even the Southern leaders are being treated! show me, if you can, a parallel to it in the whole history of the world. Show me any rebel lion that England has put down with so little of the spirit of revenge as is exhibited by the North towards the South. So long as the South remained in armed rebellion there were determination and earnest re solve on the part of the North, but the mo ment Lee surrendered and Davis was cap tured the might of the North . was blended with mercy, and the hand of power in the North lined with velvet. Rut I am here to say that those who be lieve capital punishment to be right have no just ground of complaint against the American Government for hanging Wirz, nor will they have any ground of complaint if they hang that arch traitor, Jeff, Davis. I now come to another, and, to me, much more importantquestion, namely, the state of feeling in America towards England. Many of our papers would make you be- - if they could, that America is burning with hatred towards England, and is only waiting for some fitting opportunity to show it. Ott the contrary, I heard from the lips of many of the, leading statesmen of Ame rica, most of the great business men of the country, and all she men of thought and character, an earnest desire to live on terms of peace and friendship with all the world, but especially with England. The Ameri cans cannot conceal—and I do not know that they want to conceal the fact—that they have a most earnest-desire to stand well in the opinion of England. They look with eager eyes across the Atlantic to see what England thinks of their policy and princi- Ples. Why, the sorrow felt and the disap poir.tment expressed at a want of sympathy on the part of England with the North during tne late war were only illustrations of the depth and reality of American regard for the mother country, and let me here say that it would be well if we were more care ful not to forfeit this regard for our obinions and good-will. I found everywhere an.earnest desire and a most determined resolve to return to the -old state of -things, namely. .a small army, small expenditure, great reduction of the national debt, and a speedy araangement to pay it off. When has the world ever _seen such a spectacle as 700,000 or 800,000 ,men disbanded in six months, and: return ing without riot, confusion., or disorder, to the peaceful. pursuits of life? .Let me ask has there ever been .such a sight before? "To my mind it is sublime. I found these citizen soldiers laboring at the bar, in qhe pulpit, behind the counter. At the plough you find those laboring who, ,up till nine months ago, were Ighting, and in all cases - 1 found them glad to lay down the sword and take up the pen, the plough, or the profession. I am also quite satisfied that the American people mean to pay their debt. I never saw a people submit to taxation so cheerfully and contentedly as they do. When you re member that five years ago they had scarcely anything in the way of taxation and that now they are the most heavily taxed people in the world, that there is hardly anything they buy, sell, use, or enjoy but what, is taxed; that the taxation is levied in the most clumsy and unphilosophical way, and that yet such is their anxiety to pay their liabi- Jitieu and <meet their national engagements that they cheerfully and without a murmur submit to this crude system of taxation, I TAB •DAILY EVENING BULLETIN think Thave shit:tenet gh to show that Arne riCa means to be honest: , But there is another guarantee that we haVe of this fact, namely, that the debt is mainly, in fact I may say • almost entirely, due, to her own people. America has not borrowed' the money to carry on - ,her war from foreign countries. She has supplied the sinews of war from her own resources; the money has been lent by her own sons. I think, therefore, we may rest pretty well satisfied that she will act be dishonest to herself. It was the Confed erates that went in for foreign loans, and I can only say that those who were weak enough and wicked enough to give aid to rebels in arms trzving to extend slavery de serve to lose their cash, and I confess that have no sympathy for them, and cannot feel one particle Of pity at the 195.4, Clidt9POr and shame that noW attach to their memory. I was, as Sou know, one of a party of 'rentleman who went out to America chiefly for the purpose of examining into the con di tion and future prospects of the Atlantic and Great Western Railway in that country, in which they held a very large stake. Our visit was in no sense intended or expected to be a public one, and the flattering recep tion we met with and the kind and generous —I may almost say royal—hospitality with which we were entertained were altogether unlooked for and spontaneous. The Ameri cans are proverbially a hospitable people, and on the occasion of our visit I may almost say they outdid themselves in the • magnificence and prodigality of their efforts to do us honor. lean never forget the kind greetings, the many friendships, the con stant attention,we received, and the cour teous way in which all information that was thought likely to afford us instruc tion or amusement was placed at our service. While in New York, it was my privilege to come in contact with many of the leading citizens, bankers, merchants, and others, as well as with the leaders of many of the phi lanthropic and benevolent associations, and I could not help being struck with the gene ral intelligence, sharpness, and shrewdness of the people. There is a large mixture of the Irish element here, and you find them everywhere engaged as the hewers of wood and drawers of water to the rest of the comi mnnity. It is from this element that most of the abuse of England comes, that some of our newspapers appear so fond of getting hold of and circulating. It seems hardly fair however, to hold the Americans re sponsible for the vulgar abuse of those who have been brought up under our own laws and institutions. To understand the resources and future of America,however,you must go west and visit the vast coal andiron districts of Pennsylvania, the wonderful oil regions of thesame State, the rich woodlands and cornfields of Ohio,2the flourishing city of Cincinnati—which has grown from nothing to a population of some 250,000 people dur ing the present century; then penetrate still further west along the banks of the Ohio river through Indiana to the Missis sippi river, and over it to the wonderful town of St. Louis, which, with a popula tion of only 16,000 in 1840, has grown to ,260,000 in twenty-five years; and as you stand in St. Louis, looking east, remember that behind your back there are still some 2,000 miles to the Pacific; also note that on the right it Is 1,200 miles to the mouthof the Father of Waters, and that it is some 2,000 or 3,000 miles on the left that this mighty river, which drains half a continent, has its rise. Then remember, also, that within one hundred miles of where you stand there are mountains of iron-stone that would sup ply the wants of the world for 500 years, if there were no other deposits of this metal in existence, and that you are also on the edge of .a coal field 30,000 miles larger than the whole of our island. Re member, also, that you are now nearly in the centre of a country that is 60 times as large as England, and nearly six times as large as Great Britain and Prance united. Put, I say, all these facts together, and you have an illustration of greatness and pro gress that is worth looking at; and, thank God, that vast country, with its rich soil,ita mineral wealth, and its vast resources, is in the hands of the Anglo-Saxon race, and is being worked out under the influence of the same ideas, the same great principles, and the same love of liberty and justice that are to be found in the mother country. lieft our party at Niagara tindeturned,to New York, where I had the pleasure of spending part of a Sunday and hearing two sermons from:the eloquent lips of Henry Ward Beecher, a man of mark,and one who has left his mark on America, and who, I hope, will yet long be spared to assist in guiding his.country through the perils and dangers to which she is exposed. From New "York I went to Philadelphia, the pet city of Wrn. Penn, certainly the most queenly city I saw in the States, and orna mented and edorned with public buildings and churches to an extent almost unparal- Jelled in any other part of the world. I then went south, through Baltimore, to Washington, where I had the privilege of meeting the President, Mr. Seward, Mr. Stanton, Mr.Welles,General Butler,General Howard (of the Freedmen's' Bureau), Gen. Dodge, Gen. Townsend, and others. I saw, of course, the theatre in which poor Lincoln was shot, the capital in which Congress and the members of the Senate meet. I saw there the trial of Wirz, who was hung some fortnight ago for his cruelty towards North ern prisoners and his wholesale murder of them. While here I visited the residence and rave of the father of hls country, Washington, at Mount Vernon. situated some 15'or 20 smiles down the Potomac. I also went down to Richmond,examined the defences of Richmond; visited General Terry in the house that was occupied by Jeff. Davis; went to the church from which Jeff. skedaddled on that memorable first Sunday in April, when the telegram from Lee informed him that he had better prepare for a run. I had the pleasure, too, of hear ing from many of the people at Richmond —and especially from the colored people— the joy and satisfaction they felt at seeing Jefl. and his army walk out, and Grant and his army walk in. This was a day ofjubi lee to the African race, and it is most amu sing even now to hear them talk of the cir cumstances connected with the surrender. I visited while there the rebel Congress house, where for nearly fouryears the lead ers of that arch-conspiracy, that armed out rage upon law, civilization and liberty, had talked treason, and assured the world that they would die ut the last ditch rather than be conquered. However,they are conquered —and they ppear to be in no great hurry to die in di hes; but like brave men they seem resol ed to show the world that they can behave better in the future than they have in thepast,and that they can now be as loyal and patriotic to their Govern ment and country as they have previously been traitorous and disloyal. returned rapidly through Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia, and New York, to New Haven, the Oxford of America, with its famous Yale College and staff of able professors. From thence I went north through Hartford, the 'assidence of Mrs. Stowe; Worcester, the birth-place of Elihu Burritt, and the present residence of John B. GotLO,toßoston, the city of the "Pilgrim , Fathers,"one of the oldest cities in the 1 Union, and more like an English city than anything i had previously seen. It is a city of about 200,000 people, and within its pre cincts stands Bunker's Hill, where Ameri cans fancy the. British were defeated, and` have erected a monument >to celebrate the. supposed victory. I told them, however, that they had mistaken a strategic, move ment on our part for a defeat, and that we had simply retired from motives of huma nity. I left Boston ' for home on the 11th of October, and atter a somewhat rough, but very pleasant voyage, landed in Old Eng land on the 21st of the same month. You may naturally like to know my general im- pressions of America and . the American people, compared with our own countryann people. And, first, I could not--help con trasting the rough, unfinished, and com paratively untidy aspect of the New World with the neat, trim, highly-cultivated and picturesque gardens, lawns, Parks and fields of our own country. Everything In America looks rough and unfinished. The cultivation is rough, the roads are rough, the lawns are Erough, the railways are rough; all looks like a country in a state of transition and change. You see springing np in all directions villages built of log huts, then in a few years you see growing up wooden houses; these in a few years more have to give place to brick and stone buildings, and in some, of the older towns granite and marble are taking the place of trick and stone. All is new, changing and temporary. The main interest of the country centres in its future, for though the past may be, and doubtless is, interesting and instructive„the future is evidently pregnant with import. anee to the whole world. Another thing that strikes a stranger in America is the absence of poverty and want. No ono ever asked me for alms all the time I was in the country,nor did I see any one that appeared to want bread. Every one can get work, every one can earn wages enough to keep them and their 'families from want, and every one seemed to be determined to depend upon their own industry, and not upon the charity of others, and it is well to remember that the bumptious and somewhat vulgar class that you meet in New York and other large towns in America, in all other coun tries would be the cringing, dependen pauper class who live upon the labor o others. I would, I confess, rather have the apparent rudeness of the vulgar 'Yankee than the cringing, servile, dependent tone of the European pauper. id. Another thing that struck me greatly in the States was the almost entire absence of that stupid igno rance that is unfortunately so common in in our country. It is manifest to the most casual observer that America is far,. far ahead of all the nations of Europe in gene ral intelligence. lam now speaking of the average intel ligence of the country, and here they stand at the head of the world. I never met with a boy or girl above ten years old who could not read and write; I asked hundreds the question, and harly ever allowed an op portunity to pass of testing the matter, and I must confess I was astounded and grati fied at the result of my inquiries. The question is important—How is this state of things brought about? And I find upon inquiry that ample provision is made in every town and village for the education of the young. They have everywhere public schools, free to all, without any theological or political distinction. I visited many of these schools, and can tes tify from personal inspection that on the whole they are well and wisely conducted, and the results are what I have described. You will naturally expect me to make a few remarks as to the condition of the colored race since the abolition of slavery. On this point I cannot do better than give you a Jew of the facts furnished me by Gen eral Howard, who is at the head of the freedman's bureau, and one of the noblest of men. He told me that I might use his name to contradict the wide-spread -state ment that the negro will not work. He said, "there was less difficulty to get the negro to work than there was to get the mean white population of the South to do so," and hence, he remarked, "there are more white people receiving aid from the Government down South than there are colored people." No doubt it would have been better for the slave and better for the master if the change from slavery to free dom bad been brought about more gradu tilly, and without war. But remember, the South would not allow this to be done. They would not submit even to the non extension of the system, and chose rather to plunge their country into all the horrors of civil war than allow any check or inter ference with their "domestic institution." The result is, as you know, the sudden, complete, and entire overthrow of the slave power—the utter ruin of the masters, and the placing at once three or four millions of men in a position for which the slave power has done all it possibly can to unfit them. In the transition so sudden and complete there will no doubt be much suffering and loss. I hope even the South. from motives of self-interest, if not from any higher con siderations, will do what they can to lessen the dangers and relieve the distresses that will arise irom the change, and, above all, I hope that England, that has always been true to the cause of the slave, will lend a helping hand; it will do much to lessen the feelings of irritation and that have been produced during the war. Remember that America sent help to our distressed operatives during the cotton famine, and the least we can do is now to reciprocate the kindness. Let it be done; let it be done at once, and let it be done in a way and to an .extent that are worthy of this great country, and it will help to bind in bonds of peace and good-will these two nations together. I have, I fear, occupied your time at too great length, and must now hasten to a conclusion. I have endeavored togve you some of the facts I was able to collect and some of the opinions I formed as to the past history, present position, and future prospects of America. I confess I look upon that future with more hope than tear. I believe that there are grand results vet to be realised in America. Shall we be jealous of their prosperity and progress? Nay, rather let us recognize in that pros perity the growth of one of our children; let us in.a kind and friendly spirit try to guide America where we may consider that she needs:guidance and advice; and let us be equally willing to learn from America les sons that may tend to the benefit and pros perity of our country. We have both much to learn, we have both.much to forgive; let us disabuse our minds on both sides of sus picion and,prejudice; and, above all, let us try to avoid irritation and insult that often in the end lead nations into war. Let us try to meet all , difticulties and differences that may arise in a manly, and, I may add, Christian spirit, and then, stretching our hands across the Atlantic, let us grasp the hand of Brother Jonathan, and reverently looking up to God as our Father, let us 'at the same time remember that every man is our brother, and that especially England is bound to America by ten thousand ties of language, religion and blood, and that it would be the greatest possible calamity to the world and thegreatestpossible disgrace to our civilization that two such nations should occupy any other relation ti each other than that of brothers and friends / At the conclu sion of his address, Mr. Cossham resumed his seat amidst prolonged cheering and waving of hats. • Frain _Boston. - • - BOSTON, Dec. 22.—The formal reception of the battle-flags of Massachusetts regi ments to-day was the occasion of a very imposing and interesting display. There were about three thousand veteran officers and men in marching column, representing sixty riments, and displaying some two hundred and fifty battle-torn flags. All along the _route of the procession were vete rans, and their banners were greeted in the most enthusiastic manner. On marching to the State House, Major-General Couch, on behalf of, the 'Massachusetts , volunteers, presented the colors to the keeping of the Commonwealth, in an appropriate address, to which Governor Andrew responded.

The Land of this Company consists of 120 ACRES In Mecklenberg county, North Carolina 3 `-.; miles from the .town of Charlotte. on:a branch of Sugar Creek, which stream fOrnishes gook water power fur grinding the ores. This Mine was first opened in IS3S by aman named Carson. whq worked it snccessthlly for a num ber of years. Re died in the town• of Charlotte, in 1546, worth over half a mfthon dollars. Two shafts have been sunk on this property, one o f them Go feet, the other GO feet, on different veins, averaging from two to three feet in thickness. which veins stilt continue on down increa• lug in width and richness. - These shafts are in good order and ore can e readily taken out at any time. Other veinshavebeett discovered on this property, and tested and proved to be very rich in gold. The ores of this mine are known as the brown ore, and very rich, yielding _ readily sio per bushel. This is believed to be one of the best and most certain mines in the State. on account of the abundance and quality of the ore, and ease in which it is obtained one reduced. This property has been worked by Major Z. A. Grier from 1840 fo the breaking out of the war. This Cotrfpany have purchased this property, and intend to erect machinery and put the mines in Immediate operation. The many advantages of this mine over the mines of Colorado and Nevada can hardly be estimated. It is more readily reached. and has abundance of fuel. with cheap labor. It can be worked all the year, and not. as in the case of Colo rado and Nevada, be compelled to lie idle for three or four months in Consequence of the severity of the winter. 1 his mine having. been worked for a long time, proved to be n rich paying one. We do uot, therefore. have to incur the risk mere is In an undeveloped pr.) - pet ty, but can count on large and immediate returns on the investments. Having snore that readily yields 410 per bushel, some eitimate can be made of the value of Ibis property. .With the present imperfect system of mining in this locality, and absence of pro per machintry, ten tons of this ore can be takes out daily hom every shaft, opened. Estimating, say 15 bushels to the ton, the daily yield will be $1,500 from one shalt, allowing 4.300 perday for expenses. The net product will be 0,2.00 per day; count,ng SO] working days to the year, the yearly proceeds will be tkitZ,ooo, which yield can be largely Increased by extending the works. This Is considered a very low estimate of the capacity of this mine by experienced miners of that locality. The Assayer of the United States hilift at Charlottei'in speaking of thin property, says It has few equals in productiveness in that country, and with proper management and machinery the above pro duct can be doubled.
