The American Telegraph—Wade line. This long wished for line is now done and working finely from Cincinnati to St. Louis without re-writing. We are informed by the superintendent,Mr. A. Wade,that it was finished early last winter, but owing to an imperfection in connecting the wire, it could not be made to work. This difficulty has been removed by taking down the whole line between Terre Haute and Altou, 111., and soldering the conned ions. This being the only direct lino between these two great

Commercial Cities, and the only one that now crosses the Mississippi river at St. Louis, it must do a great business as soon as the community learn its facilities. It connects at St. Louis with the lines South to New Orleans, West with the Missouri river line to St. Josephs and Independence, and North to Chicago and other points on the Illinois and upper Mississippi rivers. At Cincinnati it connects with all Eastern, Southern and Northern lines. Thus giving our business '*inen unequaled facilities for telegraphing to any part of the United States and Canada. ^frfr- Wade having established his residence in Terre Haute, with the, intention of deleting his entire attention to the business of the line, we think that our citizens may depend upon promptness and dispatch in all 'business entrusted to hi a care.

Considerable excitement prevails at Milwaukie, Wisconsin, on account of the very •uexpected acquittal of a man named Ratcliff. recently tried there for murder. An indignation meeting, was held and resolutions passed severely condemning the virdict of the jury as inconsistant with the proven facts. An exchange from that quarter says that when the verdict wan handed to the Judge, looking bard at the paper for a moment he asked: "Gentlemen of the jury, is this your virdict!" Tho foreman replied that it was, "Then," rejoined tho Judge, •'may God have mcrcy upon your conscien­

ce®!"

Railroads are beneficial in many respects end there is hardly a person but what may at some time or other be advantageously served by them. A few days ago, a Utdy, even, was benefitted by our railroad. One of those interesting events in the life of married ladies, intimately connected with the duty ofthe census taker, was very near transpiring before the cars could get in, and we understand that nothing but railroad speed prevented the grand consummation till the lady arrived at her apartment.

Mr. Weed of the Albany Journal, in one of his late letters from Europe mentions having paid a visit to Mr. Powera, the celebratcd Sculptor. Mr. Weed says that Mr. Powers never toocbod a chisel to the "Greek "Slave" or any other of his wonderful productions. He says that those Statues which have been so much admired, were chiseled entirely by assistants. All the genius and labor of tho great sculptor are expended on the models, after which tho mar bio statues

ar«

executed.

We understand that the people on the other side of the river experience great inconvenience by the breaking of the bridge. They had become so accustomed to its use, that they feel the loss of its facilities for crossing the river, very sensibly. In fact every one who has business that obliges him to cross the Wabash at this point must be inconvenienced, as ferrying it is not so expeditious, or as cheap, as passing over a bridge. ~~~~~~~

Kosiforth.in the course of a *peech in Cincinnati called the ladies of that place the "Queens of the queen city." The N. O. Picayurte &ayVWe hope he will not call our ladids ex-crceceoce« of the Cresent City.*. ...

Hole-in-the-Day, the Chippewa chief who is expected now to die ofthe wounds he lately received in a fight, is determined to kill Jhis wivfR, saying that his women must go along with hira. He w»U not lea*© tliem behind.

LETTER FROM MR. THRASHER.—The Havanna correspondent of tlx© Now Orleans Picayune semis to that paper an extract of a letter from Mr. John S. Thrasher, written in Cewta, Africa, and received at Havana by way of New York, According to this account, the reports of the pardon of Mr. Thrasher immediately upon thir arrival at Cadiz, were premature. The letter bears date, "Ceuta, Africa, January SO." -v "On the second day after our arrival here they put iron rings on our ankles, with chains. Two days sineo the Captain General sent for and told me that the orders from Madrid were to put all Americans at liberty under pardon. I thanked him, aud told him iny case, and respectfully declined to accept on those terms, and that I expected soon to be free in my own right." "J" *T

On the 30th a few lineffl were received from him at Gibraltar. He ia free without pardon and without condition except not to return to Cuba. He has received a polite invitation from M. Barringer, our Minister at Madrid to visit hire, which he intends to do. He will then visit Paris, London and .i «. 1, return to the States.

MONUMENTS TO WITCHES.—In the Legislature of Massachusetts, a petition was presented, praying that the State would hunt up the places, in the towns of Danvers and Salem, in Massachusetts, where, in the olden times, persons were buried after being hung as witches or wizzarda, and that monuments be erected over their graves. TM« vraa duuv Iti uUtt'U times, IS duC unlike to those who suffered, as to show the spirit which moved those who inflicted the punishment. The petitioner says:

Your petitioner believes there should be, if it can be constitutionally done, a good monument erected, with the names inscribed thereon, of persons who were hung for witche3 or wizzards, at the so-called Salem witchcraft time, so that they may in future be considered as martyrs. And, truly, they were the best of God's People, who had rather die than lie. For if they had said they were witches or wizzards, they would not have been hung.

The petition was referred to the Committee on Capital punishment.

THE FIRE ANNIHILATOR.—The Scientific American in a notice of the recent exhibition of the fire annihilator, thus sweepingly denounces the machine:

In all probability the Fire Annihilator Company will organize upon a new basis, and the experiments, at Melrose, all the conditions of which were planned by the patentee, will be used under the halo of respectable names, to advance the character of the annihilator. Let us say here, that where water is thrown upon fire the gases that are generated are the very same as those used in the annihilator. We defy any one to contradict this. Ninety-nine fires out of every hundred originate from carelessness or incendiarism, and are too far advanced when discovered to be vanquished by any other force than our fire engines. ~~~~~~~

EXPLOSION AT HURL GATE.—The engineer engaged in blasting rocks at Hurl Gate employs two boats, one for galvanic purposes and the other for cannister. A few day9 ago by some mistake the wire connecting with the cannister in the boat was brought in contact with the battery, and the conseqnencc was the boat was blown to atoms, killing two men instantly, and mutilating others. The explosion was heard for miles

around.

There is some excitement at Washington on the cubject of ether. A Dr. Morton is anxious that Congress should appropriate $100,000 to him, for introducing to practice, ether, for preventing pain in surgical operations. Dr. Jackson claims to have been the discoverer of this pain-killer, and to have communicated the idea to Dr. Morton. Which is intitied to the most merit seems undertermined.

A submarine boat made of iron has been invented and exhibited at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. It was sunk, laden with three men and machinery, to the bottom of the river. It remained eleven and a half minutes under the surface and arose twenty feet from its place of sinking. The experiment gave universal satisfaction to a large number of scientific, nautical and naval gentlemen who were present. ~~~~~~~

Mr. Olds, of Ohio, a throughgoing deroa gogue in a late speech' in the United States House of Representatives, upon giving land to actual settlers, said that the same Bible which declared that every man had a "title clear to mansions in the skies," also declared his right to a portion of the soil for cul tivation. Where is the society for the dif fusion of biblical knowledge.

The mysterious tracks discovered in Massachusetts and Rhode Island arc supposed to have been made by a large bird call ed the Snowy Owl. This owl is seldom seen so far South, but it is conjectured that the severity ofthe weather may have driven it from its home in the North. The tracks correspond with those of this owl.

The Special Committee of the Senate on the Frcnch spoliation petitions, will re port through Mr. Bradbury, a bill in favor of claimants, with the proviso that, in all cases where tho claims have been sold, the the amount given for the claim, only shall bo repaid. Mr. Felch will make a minority report.

We understand that a I-aw Partnership is contemplated between E. W. MCGACOWET and SAMUEL ICDAH for CalSforttia practice

We have heard complaints from persons in California that they do not receive letters or papers when they have reason to believe that such have been forwarded to them. The following from the Louisville Journal gives some explanation as to the true state of the matter. The Journal says:

We have seen a letter written in San Francisco to a gentleman in this city, in which the writer states that he bought a lot of waste paper in the post office in that city, among which he found a letter which was written last fall in this city to a Gentleman in Sacramento city. The writer of the letter returned the letter to the gentleman in Louisville who had written it. The writer further states that included in his purchase of waste paper, were other letters written to persons that he doubts not would be very glad to receive them. That there must be some wretched mismanagement in that office is certain. The writer of the letter says he has been in California for four years and has not received a letter in that period, a circumstance which he attributes less to the neglect of his friends, than to the mismanagement of tho postoffice. ~~~~~~~

REMEDY FOR CONSUMPTION.—The Boston Medical and Surgical Journal has the following, which may be valuable to persons afflicted with pulmonary affections: -'U "A gentleman of the neighboring city of Charlestown, whose son was considered in a hopeless state from the diseased condition of the respiratory apparatus, was induced to administer Dr. Stone's medicine. Ail the phosfate of lime procured at the shops appeared to him to be imperfectly prepared— being coarse and otherwise objectionable.— A purer article was prepared especially fqr the occasion, redtxedto an impalpable powder, and ten grains were administered three times a day, followed by a swallow of cold liver oil. No material change was discoverable in the patient for two weeks. Suddenly, as it were, a fixed pain of long standing in the chest then abated sleep became refreshing, the appetite improved, strength returned, and from being moved about the appartment reclining in an invalid chair, he is now daily riding, on an average, ten miles on horseback, facing the wind and breathing the cold with impunity. This is a synopsis of a case related by a grateful parent, who would be glad to have others, under similar circumstances, mako an effort with the phosphate, combined with cold liver oil.

THE CAPTURE OF LOPEZ REWARDED.— The man named Castenda, who captured Lopez has returned to Havana, laden with honors. The Queen gave him $6,000, and made him a captain in the rural militia with salarr of $110 a month ten negroes and a tract of land have been given to hi in. The order of Isabel decorates Ins person his children are to be educated at the expense of government, and while in Spain, he was permitted ehe farce of kisssing the hands of tho Queen and the little princess. He can neither read nor write.

SOMETHING WORTH KNOWING.—It is a fact, perhaps not generally known to farmers, and which, at this season, is important, that there are two parts in the potatoe, which, if separated and planted at the same time, one will produce potatoes fit for the table eight or ten days sooner than the other. The small end of the potatoe, which is generally full of eyes, is the part which produces the earliest the middle or body of the potatoe the late and always larger ones. This we learn from an exchange.

The Vicksburg Sentinel of the 20th ult., mentions the arrival of Kossuth in tliQt city. He proceeded to Jackson to spend two days with Gov. Foote according to special invitation. He would then return to Vicksburg, and proceed to New Orleans. Kossuth was not expected in Vicksuurg at the time and there was not much enthusiasm displayed.

Two of the iron works of Pennsylvania which sent iron to the Worlds Exhibition, and drew a prize medal in the very strong hold of competition, have been obi ged to suspend operations. Under the present tariffour iron is undersold by an inferior and cheaper article.

REMOVAL OF HUNGARIANS.—Tho Missouri Brunswicker says tho Hungarians in Iowa, under Gov. Ujhazy, have sold out their claim ntNevo Buda, and are about to colonize in Texas—the climate in Iowa being too cold and inhospitable for them.

An order has lately been gj ven to the Ro man priests to baptise no more children with the name of "Joseph," as there was reason to fear that the popular partiality for the name arose less from a peculiar reverence for the saint or patriarch, than from regard for the dreaded triumvir, Ma2zini.

The Whigs of Massachusetts have held an enthusiastic meeting and elected a State Central Committee. A number of good Whig speeches were made, arid it Was unanimously resolved thSt the Whigs of Mass a chu3Ctts will abide by the decision of tho Whig National Convention.

ELECTIONS IN FRANCE. The last elections in France for the Legislative Assembly, with only two or three exceptions, terminated in favor of ilia Government candidates. In oue of the Paris sections, however, General .Cavaignac has been successful, and in another, Carnot, the Republican Minister of the Interior after ihe revolution of 1848, has obtained a majority of ihe votes, although they fall slighuly short of ihe number necessary 10 make ihe election valid. Ii is also pointed out ihat the total number of those who voted in Paris on the present occasion in favor of the Government, is much below ihe number who voted for Louis

Napoleon after the coup d'etat. On that occasion it was 195.530, while now it has been only 132,04u.

CURE FOR TOOTII-ACHE.—Mr. James Beotson, of Airdrie, Scotland, says— ••Gum copal, when desolved in chloroform. forms an excellent compound for stuffing the holes of decayed teeth. 1 have used it very frequently, and tho benefits my patients have derived from ii, have been truly astonishing. The application is simple and easy. I clean out the hole and moisten a liulo cotton with, ihe solution. 1 introduce ibis into ihe decayed part, and in every instance the relief has been instantaneous. The chloroform removes tho pain, and the gum copal resists the action of the saliva and as the nptication is so oggreable, ihoso who may labor under this dreadful mnlndy, would do well (o make a irial of ii."

The resolutions also characterizes the effort made by .New York for a branch mint as an indirect attempt to remove the mint from Philadelphia. .. .,o

Tlie Clay Medal aud the Scott Medal. Medals, conferred by public grati upon public men,.se,em to 1»* singular causalities. Recetuly tho medal presented by New York gentlemen to

Mr. Clay was stolen from ihe top of a N. Y. omnibus, where it was placed by Mr. Butler, and is probably long before this molied into ingots, ami applied to other uses. *A more singular incident than that bcfel a medal given" to General Scott. This medal was voted by Congress, in November, 1814. for his services in the successive conflicts of Ghi|»pewa nnd Niagara.and Iris uniform gallantry and good conduct in sustaining the reputation of tho army of tho United Sunes." It was presented in February, 1825, by ihe hands of President Monroe. It was deposited by General Scott for safe keeping in the City Bank of New York. Some time after the Bank was entered by false keys, and robbed of bullion and funds to the amount of two hundred and fifty thousand dollurs. The first clerk discovered thai ihe medal wa3 safe.ihough every dollar deposited in ihe trunk with it was abstracted! The robber had opened ihe case in which the rnedal was placed, but left that large piece of massive gold untouched! The matter was inexplicable to the officers of justice. No-motive lor such forbearance could be discover ed.

In the course of time the robber was arrested, the funds recovered, and he punished in the Penitentiary. A little afier, Scott's purse was stolen on a J^orth River boat. The Chief oi ihe Police discovered the robber and anu restored the purse. In the course of examining the culprit, the robber of the City Bank Was examined, and he reproached his confederates with their want of honor able bearing "For" said he, "When I took the morfey from the City Bank saw and well knew the value of the Medal but I scorned to take from the soldier what had been given by the gratitude of hit country I" «*}-t r.

A THEHATICAL JOKE. Some time since, at one of the theatres in Boston, one of the most accomplished actresses now on the stage was ployir.g the port of the chambermaid. In the course of which it w&s the duly of a gallant fomman to imprint upon her lips a kiss. With a false moustache and irm perial, this is a matter of no little deli eacy. In i|le present instance, a slight accident occurred which amused the audience much io the confusion of the actors. When the lip8 0f the gallant footman and his chere amie separated, it was found that the imperial, owing to a superabundance of gluten, had changed faces, and the lady for once wa$ bearded! The mirth of the audience ituimaled to madame that something must done, and t?o she brought up the little abbreviated mock apron that chambermaids always wear, to wipe off ihe loving lock, when presto, she brushed it right round under her left ear, and ihere ii re mained,, The merriment which this new mishap excited fairly forced the actors to beat a retreat.
