GRAHAM FOR SEPTEMHFR.—This splendid roagariuc is upon our table. Its colored fashion plates, tint engravings and contents, consisting of choice prose and poetry, are unrivalled by any magazine in the world. No lady should be without this elegant periodical.

OWNERS OP THE ATI.ANTIC THI-EGUAPII. —The projectors of this great work arc now the principal owners. A large share of stock is owned in England, but the principal holders are Americans. They nro Cyrus W. Field, Peter Cooper, Moses Taylor, Marshall 0. Roberts and Chandler White, all of New York. Each of tlicso parties havo $100,000 invested in the enterprise, and one or two of them cvon more. With these gentlemen are associated David Dudley Field, P. F. B.

Morse, and others, who have contributed

largely to the final success of the experiment, but are not so extensive holders of stock.

The Hank of Elkhart, at Elkhart, Indiana, having put up its securities in the hands of the Auditor of State to $50,000. is now placed on the list_of solvent-, specie paying free banks.

A SNAG FOR PIULANTROIMSTS.—Dr. Livingstone, the celebrated African traveler, was recently at thft Cape of Good Hope,

on

his way to Central Africa again and at dinner given by the English residents there, lie made a speech, in which he said:

I have received the greatest kindness from all classes of people in the interior. I have found that only when we approach the confines of civilization, the people become worse. Such is the fact the nearer we come to civilization, we find the people very much worse than those who never had any contact with the white man.

According to this statement, we had better keep our missionaries at home.

*A distinguished Berlin professor lias lately produced a paper in regard to the world's population, in which he arrives nt the conclusion that the globe is at present inhabited by twelve hundred and eighty-three millions of people.

GREAT CONFLAGRATION.

MmMfc Hall ia Rains —Row It White** Cabinet Ware-Rooms Destroyed Two Whisk? Saloons Annihilated Doherty's

Bakery Consnainl—Dead llorse Saloon •Savcd. |g|, j:&- .. Yesterday morning about 3 o'clock, our citizens were startled from their slumbers by the cry of fire," and the ringing of bells. In a short time quite a number of people arrived at the scene of the conflagration, which extended over a space covering a quarter of a block, immediately north of the Court House, on Washington street. The fire broke out in James No leu's drinking saloon and rapidly extended through the block, which, consisting of light frame buildings, were soon reduced to a heap of smouldering ruins. The building on the corner of Washington and Market streets was owned by the Masonic Lodge, of this place, the upper story being used by them for a lodge room, and the lower by Gaskill Eastlack, as a grocery store. The Masons lost everything, not saving even their books. Gaskill & Eastlack saved their entire stock, as did also Ross & White, cabinet makers, whose buildings were situated about the centrc of the block. Nolcn's entire stock of whiskey was destroyed, and also a part of Bastable's, who kept a saloon adjoining the former. Dohcrty, who occupied the building on the corner of the alley, saved his stock with but little damage. The buildings, with the exception of Ross & White's cabinet rooms, were a lot of miserable old hulks that gave a wretched appearance to that part of town, and which the owners of the ground, which is very valuable, should rcplacc with good substantial buildings. .Fortunately, the night was perfectly still, which thing alone prevented the entire block being destroyed. The Dead Horse, a fashionable drinking saloon immediately in the rear of the bakery, was saved, also the Balhynch salooon.

A MAN BURIED ALIVE.—On last Tuesday, a half breed by the name ol Pedro, while engaged in recovering a bucket from an old well, in the rear of John Carrol premises, on Green Street, was alarmed by the brick wall at the bottom giving away he immediately made a desperate effort to regain the top of the well, and had reached half way when lie was stopped by the mass of brick and sand that

came

pouring in an

avalanche upon him. In a second he was completely entomed, there being, at least, fifteen feet of brick and sand upon him.— In a few minutes hundreds of our citizens were upon the spot, who after working vigorously for nearly four hours, rescued him from his fearful position. He was sovercly bruised, but not dangerously injured.

Another C'Aanor Pkduoik'.n. "\Vc lmvc just learned the particulars of another case of seduction. The parties arc respectably connected, and live in the south-east part of the county. understand the seducer has decamped to parts unknown. Owing to the high respectability of the relatives of the parties, we refrain from giving any names at present.

THE GREATEST MINHKAI. WATER IN* TIIE WORLD.—A few days sincc, some of our citizens in digging a race for a d.un, in Moore's wood pasture, about a mile south of town, discovered a spring of mineral water, which far eclipses the famous Artesian water of Lafayette. Dr. lv. T. Brown, is at present engaged in analyzing this singular fluid, which, from its sincll and taste, is unlike anything heretofore discovered. The Lafayette water is dish-slop compared with it, and we have no doubt, when its medicinal virtures become known, our town will be visited by thousands of invalids. So great is the excitement created by its discovery that the owner has been offered ten thousand dollars for the spring, including four acres of ground.— Remarkable cures arc already testified to by many of our citizens. Its healing qualities arc miraculous, and excite the wonder of our physicians and scientific men.

BRIDGE ON THE NEW ALBANY & SALEM R. R. DESTROYED BY FIRE.—The railroad bridge over Hawk Creek, three miles south of Ladoga, was entirely destroyed by fire on last Thursday night about eleven o'clock. The accommodation train came as far as the creek this morning,when her passengers were transferred to the express which returned to Lafayette. No detention with passenger trains will occur.— The bridge will be speedily rebuilt.

HARPER FOR SEPTEMBER.—Frank M. Ilcaton has just received the September number of this celebrated periodical. Its contcnt£ are as follows

The Finishing School The tribes of the thirty-fifth parallel The death of Louis XVI Our Charley Mark Willton's Wife Lydia Lankfort's Wedding In the Autumn Our Husbands The Lost Room Memoirs of Generals Lee, Gates, Stephens and Drake The Identification The Virginians, &c., &c.

6®"The Journal of this w.eek, sheds torrents of tears over Senator Douglas.— Why not weep a little for Jecms, tho prodigal and disciple of Bachus Tears should always bo shed for the first born.

6®*Whenever you hear a Black Republican blowing around that the "love of party is stronger than the love of country" with Democrats, just remind him that his country doesn't extend south of the Ohio

The love of party is so blinding, thaf many Republicans who boast of strong temperance proclivities, vote for drunkards for high oflBccs.

IS JIM WILSOIf rOPCLAR SOVEREIGNTY MAW! We oTcrheard an argument the other morning between Jim Wilson and Lew Wallace. Mr. Wallace made some good points on Jim. The two following were particularly good. He admitted that the Republicans deserved praise for voting for the Montgomery-Crittenden amendment, but charged that Wilson and his brethren voted for that bill, not to establish the principle of popular sovereignty, but solely to exclude Kanzas from admission under a slave constitution. Wilson had no reply to make to the charge.

Wallace advanced a step. "You talk about being popular sovereignty men. As a popular sovereignty man you ask the people to re-elect you. I'll test your sincerity. Answer me this plain question. If Kanzas should now adopt a slave constitution, would you vote to admit her under that constitution, as a slave State Wilson hesitated—Wallace pressed home his question. "Answer it." he said, "I'll test your popular sovereignty." Wilson was driven to answer. "No, NEVER I WOULD NEVER VOTE TO ADMIT KANZAS AS A SLAVE

STATE!!! There it is that answer discloses the real sentiments of the Republican party upon the great issue—discloses ex^tly their understanding of popular sovereignty. And a very convenient sovereignty it is! The people of Kanzas may adopt what constitution they please, provided—it is a free State constitution if they should happen to bring up a slave constitution, we will grind it to powder under the wheels of Congressional sovereignty. That is the popular sovereignty of the Republican party,—an altogether different affair from that of the Democrats. "Free or slave it makes no difference if it is the constitution of the people, admit the Territory." Such is Democratic popular sovereignty.

Contrast the two. Measure the difference between them. And again we say, beware of Jim Wilson's hollow pretensions to popular sovereignty. Let no man be deceived. He would see the Union shattered to pieces, before he would vote to admit another slave State.

HSgrWc conversed with a prominent Republican, of Warren county, on last Thursday. He assured us that Wilson would receive a cold support in that part of the district, and that over five hundred good republicans had resolved not to vote for him, and that if he carried the county at all, it would be by a very small majority. lie considers Wilson "a dead cock in the pit." The defection of Major Mace, of Tippecanoe, Dr. T. W. Fry. of Montgomery, and Col. Bryant, of Warren, is, to say tlio loaof, not very flattering to llson's chances of election.

DIAJOJt 31A C10.

While at Lafayette one day this week, we were informed by a promiucnt Black Republican, (an anti-Wilson man) that Major Mace had abandoned that party and taken his old position with the Democracy. We arc inclined to believe that this is true, from the fact that he has more than once stated that he left our party on the Kanzas question and nothing else that question having been settled, with the certainty that Kanzas will be admitted as a free State, lie sees no further occasion for retaining his connection with a pie-bald party. Can our cotcmporarics of the Lafayette Courier or Journal enlighten us on this matter. Their silence will be construed into a full acknowledgment of the truth of our suspicions.

NAIL THE LIE.—During the last two weeks, Jim Wilson has been industriously circulating a report, that SAMUEL II. DAVISON, of Fountain county, had left the Democratic party and joined the Black Republicans. We arc assured by James Vanarsdall, of this place, who saw and conversed with Mr. D. at Chambersburg, on last Saturday, that there is not a word of truth in the report.

STOP TI1IEF.

A scoundrel is at present travelling through-this

and adjoining

counties, areola?

ting a new batch of bogus money, called the "Western Exchange Bank—office in Indianapolis." Last night he visited many of our stores, endeavoring to purchase goods with this swindling trash, but with poor success, he having victimized, as far as we have learned, but one of our citizens William W. Nicholson, who fell for seventeen dollars. There is great excitement among our people, a number of whom have gone in pursuit of the villian. At last accounts he was seen travelling towards Ladoga. A severe punishment awaits him if caught. The following from the Indianapolis State Sentinel fully explains the swindle.

MORE SWINDLING BANKING OPERATIONS. —We were shown yesterday a lot of bankbills issued by a bogus concern in this city, evidently designed to swindle the public. The bills have no more value than the paper on which they are printed, and although they are of such an appearance and character as to deceive no one, we learn they have obtained a circulation in the northern part of the State. The bill read thus: $-3.00 STATE OF INDIANA. *4-00

WESTERN EXCHANGE BANK, Office in Indianapolis, 2 Will pay three dollars to the bearerer on demand, in current funds. In- a dianapolis, Augiist 5, 1858. 2 (Signed,) G. S. HAMER,

Cashier.

There is no such bank here authorized by law, and there is no security whatever for the redemption of its notes. It is the wildest kind of a wild-cat operation, and bears the mark of the "critter" upon its face.

A gentleman from Crown Point, Lake County, in this State, showed us two packages of S300 each, which had been offered him for a swamp-land warrant, but before surrendering the warrant he came here to get the currency exchanged for value, but he could find no purchasers but the paper mill, and that for old rags at three cents a pound. The trip enlightened him upon the mysteries of banking, and saved him his warrant. We learn that the trash is being paid out by merchants and produce dealers at Crown Point to the farmers of that section for wheat and corn, but we hope, for the credit of those paying it out, that they are victims of misplaced confidence. Is seems impossible to learn people wisdom, with all the experience they have had with these bogus rag mills.

P. S. Since writing the above the rascal and an accomplice in this thieving business have been arrested and brought to town. They will be examined before Esq. Purscl. The excitement against them is increasing.

LATER.—They have both been recognized in the sum of one thousand dollars each to appear for trial in the Circuit Court, iml in default of wliioli Ii«y worn committed to jail. Let this be a warning to dealers in "Western Exchancc," the circulation of which is aided by Paddock of Cincinnati, and of whose rascally conduct wc shall have occasion to speak in our next issue. Wc advise every merchant and business man to drop the bogus Mirror of this Cincinnati knave, who for a bribe will quote worthless shinplastcrs as sound and current money.

CSrFrec Love institutions, it is said, are rapidly increasing in the city of New York. At present there are two on Thirteenth street, one on Stuyvesant, four on Broadway, one very large one on Second avenue, two on Third avenue, three on Fifth avenue, one at Yorkvillo, under the supervision of Lola Montcz, who indoctricatcd the good Bavarians long ago, one on Bright street, and one on Union Square, a fine palatial residence—besides a number of smaller ones. The Stuyvesant street house has about 40 inmates.

THOSE AMIABLE TURKS.—A few years ago the American press, copying that of England, was full of maudlin sympathy with the Turks and took sides with the allies in the Crimean war, which put back the civilization of the world a half a century. The London correspondent of the New York Commercial, in speaking of the terrible tragedy at Djeddah, says: "Sincc the horrible affair at Djeddah, another crime has been committed in Bosinabj- the Turks of a different but not less crave character. 'A razia was made on the Christian families, and 180 Christian girls were carried off for the harems of the Mussulmans. They robbed the houses and the Christian churches, massacred the old men, the married women and the children. The Christians are fleeing in large numbers to Austria, leaving their homes, famished and without means. The Austrians have furnished shelter and food for more than 4,000 women and children in flight from the atrocities of the Turks in Bosina. In fine, the whole Turkish empire is in a state of fermentation which must very soon demand the most energetic measures of repression, and this repression can alone come from without. She must consent, like Italy, to the occupation of her territory by foreign soldiers."

POE'S RAVEN.—The Boston Transcript notices as on free exhibition in that city, a beautiful specimen of water-colored painting, executed by Wehnert, member of the London water-colored Society. The subject is taken from Poe's Raven. The mourner of the lost Leonore sits surrounded by volumes of "forgotten lore," with his face buried in his hands. The dark, heavy drapery imparts a gloom to the apartment contrasting with the soft deadly light from above, which envelopes the shrouded form of the painter's ideal of Poe's creation.— Two rcsy cherubs are lifting a thin veil from the pale face of the "rare and radiant maiden," their tiny faces lit up with the expression of admiration, intermingled with care lest they should awake her slumbers. There is a softness a^i subdued coloring over the whole picture that perfectly accords with the spirit and pathos of the poem, and the beholder can almost hear the raven notes "Nevermore."

RATHEK ENTHUSIASTIC. TV The following story is acknowledged to be a "good un,"^ut wc believe it has not found its way into the papers to any great extent.

A few years sincc, some roguish boys in a town not a thousand miles from the Capitol of New Hampshire, persuaded Joseph N or as he was generally called "Joe," to attend Sunday School. Joe was an overgrown, half witted, profane lad and the boys anticipated considerable fun: but the various questions propounded to him were so readily and correctly answered that no one could for a moment suppose that he was not versed in theological lore.

Joe was duly ushered in and placed on a settee in front of one on which his friends were seated, and recitation commenced.

The teacher first questioned the class on their regular lessons, and afterward turned to Joe "My friend, who made the world wc inhabit "Eh?" said Joe, turning up his eyes like an expiring calf. "Who made the world wc inhabit?"

Just as lie was probably about to give the answer, one of the boys seated behind, inserted a pin into his (Joe's) pants about nine inches below the ornamental buttons on his coat. "God Almighty answered Joe in an elevated tone, at the same time rising to his feet. "That is correct," replied the teacher, "but it is not necessary that you should rise in answering a sitting posture is just as well."

Joe was seated and the catechism proceeded. "Who died to save the world?"

The pin was again inserted, and Joe replied- Jesus Christin a louder tone than before, again rising from his seat. "That is also correct: but do not manifest so much feeling: do be a little more reserved in yum- monno.-," flip to:iohcr ill an expostulating tOUC.

After Joe had calmed down, the examination went on "What will bo the final doom of all wicked men?" was the subject uow up for consideration, and, as the pin was again "s'.uek in" Joe thundered out with a still h'ghcr elevation of his body, "IIcll and damnation "My young friend," said the instructor "you give the true answers to all the questions, but while you arc here we wisli you to be more mild in your words. Do, if you can, restrain j*our enthusiasm and give a less extended scope of your feelings."

BSaT"Thc opponents of the Democratic party have pitchcd in to the expenditures of the government with terrible ferocity as usual, commenced by lying. Tlicy could make no case at all with the truth, and with the determination to "stick to their lies," tlicy asserted that the expenditures for the current, year were $100,000,000. This has been disproved, but still these fellows stick to the lie. We clip from the Washington Union the following statement, which, in tlic estimation of every candid man, must be conclusive.

The regular official statement of the appropriations of the last session of every name and description, has been made out and communicated to the Treasury Department. It is as follows

THE, ATLANTIC CABLE! Victories Message to (he PwsHeit,

GREAT ENTHUSIASM.

The Queen's Message* VALET.TIA BAT, Ireland, Aug. 16. To the Honorable the President of the United States:

Her Majesty desires to congratulate the 'President upon the successful completion of this great international work, in which the Queen has taken the deepest interest. The Queen is convinced that the President will join her in fervently hoping that the Electric Cable, which now connects Great Britain with the United States, will prove an additional link between the nations, whose friendship is founded upon their common interest and reciprocal esteem.— The Queen has much pleasure in thus communicating with the President, and renewing to him her wishes for the prosperity of the United States.

VICTORIA BEGIXA.*

The President's Reply. "WASHINGTON, Aug. 16, 1858.

To Her Majesty Victoria, Queen of Great Britain: The President cordially reciprocates the congratulations of Her Majesty the Queen, on the success of the great international enterprise accomplished by the science, skill and indomitable energy of the two countries. It is a triumph more glorious, because far more useful to mankind, than was ever won by conqueror on the field of battle.

May the Atlantic Telegraph, under the blessing of heaven, prove to be a bond of perpetual peace and friendship between the kindred nations, and an instrument destined by Divine Providence to diffuse religion, civilization, liberty and law throughout the world. In this view will not all nations of Christendom spontaneously unite in the declaration that it shall be forever neutral, and that its communications shall be held sacrcd in the passage to their places of destination, even in the midst of hostilities. (Signed) JAMES BUCHANAN.

CYRUS STATION, N. 1\, August 16. To the Directors of the Atlantic Telegraph Co., New York, Europe and America:

You arc invited by Telegraph to give glory to God in tlic highest, on earth peace, good will towards men.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1 (, 8 p. in.—The bells of old Trinity are now ringing a merry peal, flags are flying, cannons firing. The greatest enthusiasm everywhere prevails at the joyful intelligence of the union of \iucrica and Europe by telegraph.

UTICA, Aug. 16.—There was a general I exultation here on the receipt of the Queen's message. Cannon and bells and cheers gave utterance to the general joy, and bonfires blazed in the streets of the city, and illuminations were brilliant.

CINCINNATI, Aug. 1G.—(reneral rejoicing from New Orleans upward. To-mor-row general demonstrations will take place at different points.

NKW YORK, August 17.

A salute of 150 guns will be fired to-day. This evening every public building and ininy private ones will be illuminated, and numerous bonfires will be lighted in various parts of the city. Should the Niagara arrive, salutes will be fired in honor of her.

The gr uid celebration depends upon the day t3 be fixed by the authorities of London, and throughout the world.

The celebration in honor of the Atlantic Cable commenced to-day at sunrise, by firing salutes from the Battery Park aud Central Park. Flags were displayed on the public buildings, hotels, and many private edifices.

The shipping generally were decorated. Another salute of 100 guns at noon, with ringing of bells. Business was suspended to some extent, and an extempore holiday prevailed in the evening.

All the public buildings in the city will be illuminated, together with tlic hotels, theatres and private dwellings. Fireworks will be displayed in front of the City Ilall in the evening. Bonfires will be distributed for miles along the river, on both sides of the city, and all the public squares.

The following message was sent to-day by Mayor Tieman to the Lord Mayor of London:

I congratulate your Lordship on the successful laying of the Atlantic Cable, uniting the continents of Kurope and America, and the cities of London and New York— the work of Great Britain and the United States—the triumph of science and energy over space—thus uniting more closely the bond of peace and commercial prosperity, introducing an era into the world's history, pregnant with results beyond the conception of ftie finite man. To God be all the praise. (Signed)

D. F. TIEMAN, Mayor of N. Y. City. Mayor Tieman to-day sent the following dispatch to the Mayor of Montreal, in-an-swer to an inquiry as to when the grand telegraphic celebration would come off: To the Hon. S. C. Rodicr, Mayor of Montreal:

This city will celebrate the event, but the day has not yet been fixed. We propose that London shall fix the day for tho general festivity, and if possible the citizens of^both hemispheres shall unite in the celebration. You will, of course, receive reasonable notice. (Signed,) D. F. TIEMAN.

A similar answer has been sent to other parties, and it must suffice for anxious inquirers everywhere.

The address of the Chicago Board of Trade to Mr. Field has been received, and will be presented on the arrival of the Niagara. That vessel was seen yesterday noon, 290 miles cast of Sandy Hook, beating up under canvass.

HARD TO PLEASE.

Eighteen months ago nearly every opposition paper in the country was loud and denunciative against the Administration and its policy of keeping vast amouuts of money in the Independent Treasury.— Now their constant cry is upon the empty Treasury and the extravagance of the Government. In the name of reason, what will please the3e fellows? If wearc provident and have a surplus on hand, they cry out against hoarding the Government money. If we, by necessity, are compelled to expend large sums in order to maintain the honor of the country or the rights of her citizens, they cry out "extravagance." tf the Democracy stand up, they are too tall if they sit down, they arc too short if they do their duty, they arc tyrannical and oppressive.

Now, the best euro wc can offer these gentleman grumblers is to make up their minds to be well governed in the future, as they have been in the past, by a Democratic Administration and a Democratic" policy, as the Fates and the American masses never intend trusting the discontented opposition with the reins of this Government again.
