Will Mr. Cushman tell us why this sudden change • is made at that time, and persisted in? Will Ihe ray, "it was feared it would become irk- some to him - Strange indeed I But stare that true,Mr Warreii would be the best judge in that matter, and not the esker., It is pre sumed Le would be fit judge in that matter and would know enough to excuse :bin:Self, if it was becoming irksome. Again Mr. Warren says he visited the School last spiing s iC company With Rev.

That the amalgamation of the two races is not only degr4dineto the Meek, but sinks the _whites to deptos far below them—and if tolerated brings disgrace upon the whole community. 3. That we' luok upon those persons who have Leen engaged in plouing and bringing about this diabolical act as dangerous to society, and more especially to the young I.amd rising generation in whose welfare and happiness we feel the deepest interest;— and 4. That the welfare of Focie.y requires. rot to withhold all social ii,tereourse from nll thOre who have aided iu bringing about .the late disgraceful marriage. 5. That we consider every man guili - y who has made a publ'c declarant) in farcr; of the recent outrage upon common decency)or the unnatural union that brut taken place be. tween the colored man and the white gitl. 6. That we united and earnestly caltupon the Legi.lature of this State to paki the bill now beft.ra them probitriiingiteintermarriage of the white and black races. 7.

During the last term of the Normal School in Montrose, being present many times at the morning exercises, I have heard the 'Fripa pal, Prof. Stoddard,read letters to, the school, requesting him to furnish as many as five or six teachers, at salaries' from $240 tti $lOOO —being very particular to state that they must be persons of cotrect habits, of ardent sentiments, of honesty, virtue, magnanimity, and public spirited.

BLOODSHED IN, WASHINGTON. AeIIINGTON, Feb. 2itd. 1859. The -community was thrown 'into an in tense excitement to-day by the killing of 1 Philip Barton Key, - United - States Dirtrict Attotney fur the District of Colwilds, syhe hands of Daniel E. Sickles.* 0. According to report,. Mr. Schles4f becoming ciontiamd of ; , this,-fruth of certain scandalous rumors'in-:, yoking h'i wife, resolved to redress his wron,,wit. , About two o'clock this afternoonproceed ing ,from his . reside ice .near .the, President's bousi to the Southeast corner - of 'l.ls Fayette Square, in the same neighborhood where Mr. Kuy was eng aged in conversation with Mr. Butterwor of New York, he charged Mr. Key with having dishoneyai him end destroy-, ed his dotheitic peace, and shot him with a revolver. 1 . One of the balls entered the left Ode of the body and passed through to the corresponding point on the opposite side, lodging ender the ekin i another shot took effect in 'the right thigh near the main artery, when Mr. Key fell, imploring Mr. Sickles not to kill him. The third shot was in the right aide, bat glanced l from the body inflicting only a bruise. 1 - Death ensued in a few moments. The body was taken into the National Club Rouse, where a Jury of Inquest was held, who, after an examination into tlie circumstances of some hours length, rendered a verdict merely stating that the dealt of Mr. Key was }'sous ' the effects of pistol shuts, as above stated, flred loyiMr. Sickles. - • The premiahs of the Club Howe were crowded with people anxiously inquiring all I the circumstances of the event. Al er Mr. ' Sickles had killed Mr. Key he repaired to the reslidence of Attorney Black, where he was aditiseti to deliver liiinself into the bands of the offir:teis, who subsequently conveyed him to jail, to which-he was committed for further i examination to-morrow. The facts which led to the tragedy will then probably judicially transpire. The in- I quisition 'of the Coroner was merely 'with reference to the causes w Ida produced death. The Atlantic Telegraph. The greatest impressi m regarding this Telegraph among those conversant with i Telegraph Cables, is that its present condition is as bad a one as possible.,ln all propabri tV• as now laid, it will prove ,utrerly useless. Various saltemes,have been proposed for re storing that "continuity" of which-we have beard so much. One gentleman proposes to better the earth connections of the wire,which at Valentia were always bad, and are now worm than ever. To affect t i de Le would en large the present surface of the.earth pl..t:s, and saturate the/ earth ar.rund them with a solution of sulphate of copper. lie would then charge the wire itself till in a awe of electrical equilibrium, and so keep it io a circuit with a battery, and on the make-and break principle, distend the electricity m the wire and transmit the signal. During ex periment' made in Phenix Park, he sent mess sages not only. through the core of a wile or a cable, but stimultanerausly, throtod3 the otitnide covering. -11 e, therefore: thinks he can transmit signals through, the Atlantic Cable even though the copmwirea bebroken. Another person trrposes to raise and over haul the Cable unit the sesious 2 riefects-sir it on both shores shall have; been repaired. This would be a hazardous exi grin:rent, as t , e Cable might pair during the operation. The atnempti which - have been wade to repair the Cable hare. thus far, been uusuceensful. - At . o:.e time the Minty was said to be 3t O.) miles 1 from the shore, at another 971, at another 400, and at anolier 750. About a month since the words '.Henley," and "you under stand" were received at the Newfoundland s:atiun, but ta_ cempatison of ',dates showed , l that on the day ti,ese words . reached New foundland the Palentia - office was cored. The signals, therefore, are attributed to the constant and perplexing vagaries of earth currents. The conjectures of those bestin formed in relarion to the maritime that oue of the main injuries is oti the English shore. It is known that in two soundings taken off rhs shore there was a diffelence, in distance of eight miles, cf 7,300 feet. The nature of the bottom between these points is not known. It may be broken by ravines and precipitous cliffs. From the London ••Times we take the following paragraph, and the concluding sentence is the Lest answer that can be given to tire attempts now being made to prone that . . , no message was ever tiaternoten over the A:- lantie Cable: .. . - -Tne Atlantic Company, in case all methods to resuscitate the cable fail, bare applied to thii Goveininent for a guarantee of 41 per cent, nn a fitsb capital of 500,000/. 'his application is based, not alone on:the ground .of Suite ne c essity for such_a means of instant. conititunicatiou with our N o r t h American provincei, but also on the prece dent of the Treasury tiding already given guai wee' to other submarine lines,especially to alt, Red Sea Company, whose cipltal of 800,0001 is guaranteed to the same amount. If the principle of a guarantee fora subtaatiiie line to India is admitted, it appears difficult to see bow it can be withheld from a line to America, fur none can foretell the hour when such events may occur as may reader tele graphic communicall , n with Canada not on ly desirable, but of vital importance to the interests and wellbeing of the nation.
