" 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. •

PROSPECTUS
CARSON GOLD MINING COMPANY,
NORTH CAROLINA.
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.
