Right of Search not Abandoned —fi Very i
Unsettled and Troublesome Question.
It is very probable that nine-tenths of our
readers had concluded some weeks ago, that
the right of search and visit, as practiced un
der British orders by the Styx and Buzzard,
and other " wessels of wrath " with unclean
names, in the Gulf, had been definitely set
tled. Nothing could be farther from the fact,
and the last news from England is most in.
teresting on this point, and must leave every
body in the wildest conjecture as to the mo
tives on both sides, which has brought the
affair to such a lame conclusion after Lord
Napier's prompt silencing of his naval arma
ment in the Gulf, and the peremptory pluck
of our squadron in hastening to the scene to
see into it.
It is evident that Lord Napier has been a
little too fast and in advance of his instruc%
Lions when he stopped operations on the
Cuban coast, and our Minister at London
has promised too much as a consideration for
the price of a very equivocal and temporary
peace.
It was debated in the Commons of the 12th
July, and there has been no concession on the
part of the British government. The mem
bers who represent the cotton interest of Leeds
and Manchester of course advocate the with
drawal of the — squadron, and all attempt to
suppress the slave trade by armed force, using
the old argument about the fatality to valua
ble lives and the loss of revenue by the king
dom; alleging, too, that after forty years trial
the slave trade was as rife as ever.
Cuba was roughly handled in debate by
these gentlemen, and it was more than insinu.
ated that the Governors of that gem of the
sea, for a number of years, Messrs. Valdez,
Roncales, Concha-, &c., bad been no better
than false knaves, and that the present policy
was a complete failure.
The opposition, Messrs. Palmerston, Bux
ton and D'lsraeli, turned ail their argument
of the commercial and peace party into ridi
cule and laughter, and in the debate of the
12th denounced any change of policy in the
right of search, and they succeeded for on
motion—
" That it is expedient to discontinue the prac
tice of authorizing Her Majesty's ships to visit
and search vessels under foreign flags, with a
view of suppressing the traffic in slaves"—
it was negatived by a vote of 223 to 24 ! !
The London Herald, Lord Derby's organ,
applauds this vote, and declares boldly, that
"the squadron off Cuba will enforce the mare.
time policy with regard to American vessels—
that the British government cannot follow a
retrograde policy," &0., &c, This will cer
tainly astonish the public in this country after
the prompt concessions made a few weeks ago.
One significant fast, however, can be gleaned
from this debate, that they have lost all sym
pathy for Cuba, and intimate in the clearest
words, that the problem of suppression can
only be worked out by annexation.
- "'Cuba, therefore, is "the sick man" in this
part of the world—his doctors over the waters,
the Sangradoes of Spain and England, have
given him up, for their sovereign tinctures
have been used and only with a bad result.
The ease appears to be conceded to the near
est physician—the same who attended Mexico
during very severe illness. His name is a
familiar one—Y. Doodle, M. D.,—his remedy
the healing balm of Columbia.
What 101 the Matter
The Philadelphia North American, of Sat
urday last, appears to be nervous about the
defeat of Mr. Purviance, of, the Butler Dis
trict, for the nomination for iCongress. What
has Mr., McKnight done that he should be
thus carelessly set aside, or what great act
has Mr. Purviance performed that he should
monopolise Congressional honors. The North
American says :
"In one district, so ably represented during
the last two terms by the Hon. Samuel A Purvi
ance, that faithful advocate of correct principles
has been thrown overboard by the oppositiou,and
a new candidate put up, for no other reason, that
we can see, than that he had enjoyed the honors
of the position for the usual two terms, and that
a lot of ambitious poiiitcians are impatient for hie
place." * * " No matter how talent
ed or useful a Congressman may be, every coun
ty, except his own, is sure - to stick up some law
yer or politician as a competitor for his place."
The same paper is delighted with the re
nomination of John Covode, although the edi
tor remarks, more " brilliant men than Mr.
Covode may be found in the. House of Repre
sentatives." Thie is possible, and would ap
ply with equal force to. Mr. Purviance. The
North American need not be troubled about
the succession, the Democracy will take care
of that. Mr. Covode will be defeated just as
certain as he lives, by Hon. Henry D. Foster,
whilst the opposition in the Twenty-first and
Twenty-seeond Districts stand not the ghost
of a chance.
A Shallow Roorback
The following silly attempt to put in circu
lation, a forged letter from President Buchan
an, originated in the New Albany Tribune.
The blackguard who wrote it might, at least,
have: attempted to imitate the style of a gen
tleman, and not have placed his own accus
tomed slang phrases in the President's mouth.
However, there are but few fools whu will
believe the letter genuine :
'TVAsEttaaroN, July 25, 1858.
Hon. Wm. H. English—
DEAR. Sr .—Aware that the Convention for
nominating a Democratic candidate for Congress
Id your district, will convene in a fow days, I
I ;'can not refrain from expressing the hope that
you may be the unanimous nominee of the Con
vention. If I lived in your district, and had a
thousand votes, you should have them ad. Oc
cupying the position you do, I consider it essen •
tial that you should euceed in obtaining the
nomination. A failure in this would be regard
ed by me as a rebuke of my administration.—
There may be some aspirant or aspirants for the
position in your way. If so, say to them that
by giving you a clear track they will gain my fa
vor and may expect to be provided for in a eata
ble manner. If nominated, I will throw as
much assistance into your district as you may
desire.
Our friend Hughes, I see, has a hard row to
hoe. He will be liberally sustained. of this
you may rest assured.
Your Friend,

Artesian Well.
The State of Ohio is digging an artesian
well at Columbus, in the capitol yard, and the
contractor has.completed his contract of bor.
ing 1,750 feet; but it is found necessary to
bore still further, and to prevent caving, it is
contemplated to enlarge the bore and tuLe
with cast iron pipe. 1000 feet of solid rock
has been penetrated. The water in the well
lacks thirty feet of reaching the surface of the
Cam.
VILRIOUS THINGS
—Part of the family of General Cass are at
Stonington, and it is expected the distinguished
Secretary will visit the place before the summer
is over
—Ex-President Pierce and wife'arrived at Gib
raltar on the 12th of July, and were there on
the 14th, waiting for a steamer to take passage
up the Mediterranean.
—We see it stated in a New York paper, that
the_ transatlantic mail averages 16,0C0 letters a
day. This fact gives some idea of the vast
amount of business which would be done by the
transatlantic telegraph.
—We see it stated in the St. Thomas Dispatch
that the Emperor Napoleon has presented to the
Church of St. Thomas, through the Rev. Mr.
Trachon, a valuable dessert of silver, inclosed in
a splendid case with the Imperial arms, accom
panied by a gracious letter. As the gift was
intended to aid the mission, it will be raffled for
on the 16th of August neat, at four dollars per
ticket.
—Thomas D'Arcy McGee, Esq , is said to have
given notice of his intention to enter himself as
a law student in Montreal.
—The first house built in Ohio by a white man
was built by Charles Frederick Post, a Mora
vian Missionary, at the junction of Sandy Creek
and the Tusoarawas, in Stark county, in 1761.
The place where this house was built, is very
near the line between Stark and Tusoarawas
counties. Within a short time it has been add
ed to Tuscarawas county ; and Tusoarawas coun
ty is truly the pioneer county in Ohio. It was
there where civilization was first planted in Ohio
by the Moravian Missionaries.
—The capital stock of the Bank of Mutual
Redemption, at Boston, is being briskly paid in.
More than one•half of the total capital of $300,-
000 was received on Monday. The bank v.lll
commence operations about the middle of An
gust.
—The citizens of Springfield, Mass., in view
of the great horse exhibition to be held there,
have raised five hnadred dollars to be offered as
prizes for a grand regatta of row boats, to be
had on the Connecticut river, on Friday, tho 27th
of August.
—Vegetation is so scarce atCape Cod, Mass.,
that two =lieu stalks and a huckleberry bush
are called a grove.
—The Supreme Court, of California, has de
cided against the constitutionality of laws for
the better observance of the S abbath, mainly
on the ground that it interferes with the pri
mary and fundamental right of mankind to make
money.
—New Orleans (La) papers state that Dr,
Graham, convicted BOMB years ago of the kill
ing of Maj. Loring, at the St. Nicholas Hotel, in
New York, sentenced to seven years imprison
ment, and subsequently pardoned by Governor
Clark, has just been elected a City Physician by
the City Council of New Orleans.
The Subettlantio Telegraph
The great item of interest for the present
is the Sub-Atlantic Telegraph. Although it
has been attended with no practical results
up to the present time, enough ha. 3 been es
tablished to stagger even this progressive age.
The Ledger of Philadelphia, says :
If a cable had been attached to Ireland and
the whole British islands had been drawn across
the Atlantic and anchored opposite New Found
land, it would not have brought as so close for
all practicable purposes, without the telegraph
lines, as we are at this moment with them. No
one seems able to conceive the greatness of the
achievement. No one is able to conjecture a
tithe of its important effects. All that we know
is that it is a link of connection that will never
be permitted to be again permanently sundered.
The Old World and the New are nearer for all
coming time, and to be bound together by
threads as delicate as spiders' webs seemingly,
but as strong to hold together in point of intel
ligence as are the etrands of that web to secure
the fly. We already begin fairly.to wriggle in the
web of destiny, woven by those electric wires,
binding the whole earth together henceforth.—
No part of the habitable world will be long un
affected by their influence.
Every day the stock market will be affected
before twelve o'clock, by the news of the trans
actions of the London Stock Exchange, up to
the hour of closing. What the effect would have
been upon stocks and commerce, had this line
been in existence last fall, none can tell. It
might have ruined London, or it might have sus
tained New York.
Of course, other lines will now instantly be
laid—and the sooner the better—laid with leet3
risk, as each failure gives new experience of the
difficulties and dangers to be surmounted. The
effect of these lines upon the politics of the world
will be immense. They ; will bind us into the
great family of nations. Not a gun will be fired
in Europe without ourbeing consulted. Ambas
sadors will correspond with their Courts in ci
pher, and the wires will play to and fro daily, to
post up the diplomatic corps at Washington.—
Science will be effected by it. Longitudes will
be thus more minutely determined, and the As
tronomical clock at Greenwich beat right into
the Observatory at Cambridge and at Washing
ton. The twinkling of a star in the far off fir
mament on high will be seen onfone side of the
globe and noted on the other almost in a sec
ond. A thousand of the hidden laws and secrets
of our planets and of other worlds will thus be
brought to light.

A Swedish Journalist Sentenoed tt Death
and Pardoned on the Scaffold.
Mr. Ll.ndahl, the Elitor of the lirderlandet, a
Swedish Journal, was recently sentenced to
death for having publiebed an outrbgeous libel
on the character of Henriette Menctelssohu,
prominent Stockholm belle. A Stockholm cirres
pondent states in relation to the youag lady :
" Every one knows young Henriette. She is
eighteen years old, fair hair, of elegant person,
and has eyes of deep blue and of a poetical ex
pression. She excels as a writer in prose as
well as of verse, and nothing can exceed the
grace and beauty of her appearance. Before
the slander to which we refer poisoned her exis
tence, she was noted for her animation and
Oheerfalnees, and was passionately fond of
amusement especially dancing. Her dancing
was admirable, her manner bewitching, and the
Swedish dialect that she spoke gavelbn additional
charm to her conversation. Ia one word, she
was the flower of the land, and when the news
of the slender upon her spread about, she be
came the object of universal sympathy, the
whole odium of it falling upon the detractor."
When the day of hia execution arrived, (July
2, 1858,) this gentleman seemed composed and
said: " I am going to suffer the penalty of
death, which I deserve ; however, it shall soon
be made evident that, at all evento, I was not a
coward."
He then gave some of the papers which were
on his table to the Jailer, giving him some private
instruction about them ; and having taken a let
ter sealed with black from the Bible and conceal
ed it in his breast, he proceeded with unfaltering
steps to the scaffold which was prepared for him.
Twelve witnesses, rfquired by the Llweci,eh law
to be present on each occasions, bad already (1?-
rived. Lindahl's hands were tied and hie eyes
bandaged as ho arrived at the foot of the scaffold.
He, however, m.intained his self-possession, ad
dressing those around him as follows :
" Farewell, gcatlemen Take care to report
my death and repentance to those who were fa
miliar with my life."
Ascending the fatal platform, his feet ware al•
ready on t second flight of steps, when he flt
a pressur , and in a moment his hands and eyes
were fro Henrietta Mendeleaohu stood before
him. " Mr. Lindahl," she said to him " I par
don you." Mr. Lindahl, at once falling upon
his knees before her, and taking the letter which
he had concealed in his breast, and said :
" Madame, I accept your pardon. My last
thought waa to implore it of your magnanimity,
sod I felt sure that you would not refuse it, at
least to my grave."
This little romantic affair has created the
greatest sensation all over Sweden.
The Oldest Bible on the Continent—A
Book over 400 Years old.
This is a volume of six hundred pages, says
the Detroit Free Press, containing the whole
Bible in the Latin language. It belongs to the
Rev. Dr. Duffield, of this city. The book is
made entirely of vellum, and the printing is all
done by hand with a pen and ink. Every letter
is perfect in its shape, and cannot be distinguish
ed, by any imperfections in form, from the printed
letters of the present day. The shape of the let
ters is of course different from those now in use,
but in no other respect can they be distinguished
from printed matter. The letter is about the
same size as that in which this article is printed,
which will give an idea of the difficulty of form
ing so perfect a work. The immense amount of
labor may be conceived from the fact that there
are two columns on each page, each of which
lacks only about six letters of being as wide as
the columns of this paper. They will average
sixty lines to the column. The columns num
bering 1,200, we have about 72,000 lines in the
whole book. Nothing short of a lifetime could
accomplish such a work. The date of this book
is A. D. 930. It was consequently made 560
years before printing was invented, and is 028
years old. There is probably nothing on this
continent in the shape of a book equal to it in
age. The vellum upon which it is printed is of
the finest kind, and is made of the skin of
young lambs and kids, dressed and rubbed
with pumice stone until it is very thin. It
is somewhat thicker than common paper, be
ing a medium between that and the draw
ing paper now in use. The fine veins in the
skin are distinctly visible in many places.
A pencil mark was drawn by the operator to
guide the construction of each line. Many pages
have these lines visible on their whole surface,
no effort having been made to rub them out.
Two lines running up and down divide the col
umns with mathematical accuracy. At the be
ginning of each chapter, highly colored orna
mental letters are placed. These are the only
marks of the division of chapters. There are no
subdivision into verses, the chapter running
through in one paragraph to the end, and no
discriptive headings. This invaluable relic was
presented to Dr. Duffield by Lewis Cass, Jr., our
minister resident at Rome. He procured it of
German monk, who brought it from the Greek
Convent of St. Catharine, at the foot of Mount
Sinai. Mr. Case befriended this monk, who
was in trouble, and he in return presented him
with the volume which we have described. Ac
cording to his story, it is the work of one of the
ancient monk scribes in the convent above
named. When it became known that Mr. Cass
was parting with it, and that it was going out of
the country, the round sum of $3,000 was offered
him for it by the monks of the city of Rome.
This was of coarse refused, for the pleasure of
placing so inestimable a relic in the hands of one
who can appreciate its value so well as our
learned divine, Dr. Duffield. At the time of the
late fire in the doctor's house, this book was
thrown into the streat among others, and came
very near being lost. It was picked on the
sidewalk by one who recognized it as one of Dr.
Duffield's most valuable relics, and preserved it.
THE officer of the deck on board a man of-war
asked the man at the wheel, one day, " How
does she head ? " It was blowing a gale of wind.
"Southayst, " replied Pat, touching his hat,
but forgetting to add Sir to his answer.
" You'd better put a few more s's in your an
swer when you speak to me," said the huffy lieu
tenant.
" Ay, ay, Sir-r-r, " returned the witty Irish
man.
A day or two after, the officer called out again
"How does she head now."
" Southayet and be south, half-Booth and a
little southerly, Sir, your honor, Sir! " screamed
Pat.
The Atlantic Telegraph.
NEW YORK, Aug. 9,—The recording instru
ments for the Atlantic cable are on such a state
of forwardness as to insure the early opening of
the line for business. It is understood that the
transmission of the Queen's and the President's
messages thro' the cable will take place early in
the afternoon, and probably in the course of the
present week. Instantly after the transmission
of the President's reply is the Queen's message,
the two communications will, by consent of the
President, and the co-operation of the mana
gers and employees of the telegraph lines of the
country, be made public from Newfoundland to
Texas,and from Quebec to the boundary of civil
ization in the Northwest. We have assurances
from all points that so soon as the Queen's and
the President's messages are received, there will
be public and private demonstrations of joy by
the ringing of bells, firing of salutes, &0., &0.,
in every city, town and village throughout the
whole country. It is understood that Wm. Field
will cause notice to be given, in advance, of the
day when the first message will be transmitted
through tho cable.

and 18 cannon. Col. Titus was with Walker at
El Paso. Mr. Cronin also met 10,000 or 20,000
Indians ou Pawnee Fork, receiving annuities
from Col. Burt.
A despatch from Independence, dated , the 6th,

trains acd demanding provisions and whisky.
The rivers continued high and the weather wet.
In some places the roads were washed to such an
extent as to render it very difficult for the trains
to proceed. Very heavy rains fell In Banta Fe

Age and Debility.
As old age comes creeping on, it brings many at.
tendant infirmaties. Loss of appetite and weakness
impair the health, and want of activity makes the
mind discontended and unhappy. In eases where
old ago adds its influence, it is almost impossible to
add vigor and health, and although many remedies
have been tried, all h.ve failed, until BCEREIAVET.
HOLLAND BITTERS were known and used. In
every ease where they have been employed they
have invariably given strength and restored the
appetite. They have become a great agent for this
alone, and are used by many people who aro suffer
ing from loss of appetite and general debility. In
eases of long standing chronio diseases, they not as
a charm, invigorating the system, thus giving nature
another opportunity to repair physical injuries.
Caution I—Be careful to ask for Bcerhavels Holland
Bitters. Sold at $1 per bottle, or six bottles for $5,
by the sole Proprietors, Benjamin Page, Jr., tr, Co.,

Special Washington Despatch
The News of the Landing of the Telegraph Ca
ble—Effeet of the St. Louis and Kansas Elec
tions —lmportant Railroad Enterprise—Con
dition of the National Finances, Etc.
WessmgroN, August 7, 18559.
The effect of the news received this afternoon,
of the safe landing of both ends of the cable,
and the perfection of the current through it, can
hardly be described. Owing to the non-work
ing of the line, fears began to obtain that the
whole story was a well contrived hoax for stook
jobbing purposes; but the joy expressed this
afternoon, especially at the department among
the government officials, was perfectly inspiring.
The acholvment is pronounced an advance of at
least half a century.
The administration men and papers are exul
tant at the defeat of Francis P. Blair, Jr., of
St. Louis, but have only a word to say about
Lecompton in Kansas, and that is that the people
have evidently decided to remain under a Terri
torial organization till they acquire the requisite
population for a representative in Congress.
The recent visit of ex-Secretary McClelland,
of Michigan, and Mr. Growski, of Canada, to
this city, was to obtain from the War Depart
ment the right of way for the Detroit and Mil
waukee railway, a virtual extension of the Grand
Trunk westward through Michigan, and on
which Mr. Growski is contractor, through a
military reservation between Sarnia, on the St.
Clair river, and Pontiac, in Michigan. It is un
derstood that Secretary Floyd acceded to their
proposition, under the usual restrictions.
The sometime deferred visit of Secretary Ton
cey to his home in Connecticut, and on a„ . tour of
inspection to the Northern Navy Yard, is again
announced for next week.
General Cass spent Some time at the State De
partment to-day.
The receipts into the Treasury for the quarter
ending Jane 30, 1858. were upwards of $23,-
000,000, against $11,000,000 for the correspond
ing quarter of last year. Of these sums $9,-
850,000 were received from customs in 1858,
against_s/.9,000,000 from that ovum in /.567.
The expenditures of the same quarters were
$17,000,000 in 1857, and $28,000,000 in 1858.
Of the reseipts for the last quarter $12,600,000
were proceeds of treasury notes.

tiA CARD FROM D. JAMES M. JAR
RETT, OF THE NEW YORE LUNG INFIRM
ARY.—My connection for the past eight years with the
above Institution, as Chief Physician, and a twelve years'
course of steady devotion to the Cure of Pulmonary Con
sumption and its kindred diseases, together with my un
rivalled opportunities and advantage of pathological research
—aided not a little by a ported system of Medical Inhala
tion—has enabled me to aerie° at a decisive, direct and suc
cessful course of treatment for the positive - and radical cure
of all diseases of the Throat, Lungs, and Air. Passages. By
Inhalation, the vapor and curative properties of medicines
are directly adreased to the diseased organs and the integu
ment Ido not advise the use of Medical Inhalation of any
kind, to the exclusion of general treatment; and although I
consider it a useful adjuvant In the proper management of
those fearful and often fatal diseases, yet I deem it very tie.
cessary that each patient should have the benefit of both
&m end and local treatment. The success of my treatment
in the above diseases, and the high character of tha Institu
tion over whieh I have so long had the honor to preside,are
too well known termed any eulogy or comment from me.
At the solicitation of many private and professional friends,
through whose philanthropic aid the above charity has been
long and liberally supported, and after due consideration, I
have concluded to make such arrangements as will bring
the benefits of my a:penitents and treatment within the
reach of all, and not confine myself, as heretofore, to those
only who entered the Infirmary, or woo were able to visit
me at my office. Roping therefore that the arrangement
will give entire satisfaction, bath to my professional breth
ren and the public, I would respectfully announce in con
clusion, that 'can now be crnsulled personally or by kitee,on
all diseases as above, and that the medicines, the same as
used in the Instit ution,
ion prepared to suit each individual
rime. Inhaling Vapors, Medical Inhalers, die., de., will be
forwarded by express to any part of the United litates or
the Canadair. Tsams—My terms cf treatment by letter are
as follows, vim: $l2 per month for each patient which will
include medicine sufficient for one month's use; also, In
haling Vapor, and an Inhaling Apparatus. Payment as fol.
lows : $6 to be paid to hxprees Agent on receipt of the box
of Medicine, and the balance $6 at the expiration cf the
month, if the pati nt be cured or is entirely satisfied with
the treatment. Patients, by giving a full history of their
case, and their symptoms in full, can be treated as well by
letter as by p.rsonal examination. Patients availing them
selves of Dr. Jarre't a treatment may rely upon immediate
an 1 permanent relief, es he seldom has to Me?. t a case over
thirty days. Letters for advice promptly answered. For
