THE STEAMSHIP ATLANTIC.

The announcement of the safety of the
Steamer Atlantic, created, of course, unboun-
ded rejoicing in New York. The Herald
thus describes the scene that ensued when it
Bay:
No sooner were the guns of the Africa
heard in the city, than hundreds and we
may say thousands, of our citizens rushed
to the Battery and to all the docks on the
North River, from the depot Of the Collins
line of steamships to Castle Garden, to ascer-
tain whether the Atlantic had been heard
from. They were tantalized by the reports
of the Africa's guns, as they were fred one
after, another for upwards of an hour, and
many an eye was strained in looking for the
blue and red lights-the signals Of the vessels
of the Collins line. At length steamship
was seen approaching the city from Quaran-
tine; but the signals which she bore we're not
those of the Atlantic or any vessel of the Col
lins' line. But if this is not the Atlantic it
must be the Africa, and she will, no doubt
bring some intelligence of the Atlantic" ar
gued the more intelligent of the anxious null
titude. 1t was the Africa and as she came
up the bay firing gun after gum it was be-
lieved, by the thousands on the look out that
that vessel would not expend so much powder
to announce her own arrival only. at must
be that the Africa brings good news of the
Atlantic, or she would not fire so many
guns" said the multitude. "What can it
mean-what is the object of this uncommon
firing ?" was the enquiry on every side; and
the response was, "The Atlantic is safc-the
Atlantic has been heard from" Soon the
Africa approached her dock in Jersey City I;
but she did not move half fast enough to
satisfy the impetuosity of the thousands who
felt as if every moment was an hour, until her
arrival.
At length the Africa approached her dock
In Jersey City; and when she got within
hailing distance, one of the officers assembled
the paddle box, and with his trumpet an
nounced: "The Atlantic is safe she has put
into Cork with broken shaft" A shout OF
rejoicing at once went up which made the
welkin ring, which was continued for several
minutes. During all this time the crowd grew
larger, while many of those who heard the glad
news ran to tell it to their families and friends
The people seemed literally wild with excite
ment; but there was one who seemed su-
premely happy A young woman was among
the first upon the dock, who seemed, more
than all others, anxious for the fate of the
Atlantic. She had brother on board, who
is engaged as fireman; and so great ha,
been her anxiety, that for several days She
has almost entirely abstained from food A.
soon as the news was proclaimed, shrek o
joy went up from that female. who at one,
ran for her hcme, to convey the glad tiding
of joy to her aged mother whose anxiety
had not been less than her own. 1t is
long time since such scene of excitemen
was witnessed in Jersey City, and ALL of ev
cry rank and condition, male and female. par
took of the general joy.

TIE ADMINISTRATION.
An editorial in the New York Herald

An editorial in the New York Herald
says:
From our private adviccs from Washing
ton, we are assured that the cabinet is a
unit-that there was never more harmoni-
ous cabinet, and the very best and most
cordial relations prevail between the Prcsi-
dent and Mr.. Webster, particularly. No
matter who may turn up as the Union can
didate, or as the conservative national Wing
candidate for the Presidency, they are both
ready not only to acquicsee. but to coalcsco
in the movement This is good news
Standing fast upon the slavery compromises,
upon the Union platform for the sake Of the
Union, and liberal and conciliatory upon the
general domestic policy Of the country, the
administration has fair field before it. 1t
is now the admitted bulwark of the friends
of the Union, ard the rights of the States,
under the Constitution 1t has the conf
dence of the country in its patriotism, the
respect of foreign nations for its conceded
ability, and the full support of the Union
people in its consistent, conservative, and
honest footing upon the slavery question:
Whether ruled in or ruled out by the tricks
of the politicians, if the President and the
cabinet continue to carry out the TRUE prin-
cip.es of the government" they will lie d.
bundantly rewarded to the expanded happi-
ness and gratitude Of the county

FEMALE DOCTORS.

The application of Miss Harriet X. Hunt,
of Boston, to be admitted as pupil to the
lectures Of the Medical College of that city,
has created quite a flare up. She applied
some years ago and was refused on the
ground Of inexpediency; but her application
was renewed few weeks ago, when she got
the consent of the directors, but the male
students, with singular want Of gallantry,
so strongly protested against it, that she
has consented to wait until the next course.

sale, where person is employed to 'run up"
the property, and make the purchaser pay
more than if none but bona fde bidders bid
for it, the sale is fraudulent and void, so far
that the purchaser is not obliged to take the
property struck off to him As the practice
of bidding up property is not uncommon, the
decision Of the Supreme Court may be Of

THE DAISY.
The Daisy blossoms on the rocks,
Amid the purple heath,
1t blossoms on the rivers banks,
That threads the glens beneath;
The Eagle at his pride of place,
Beholds it by his nest;
And, in that mead, il cushions soft
The lark's descending breast.
Before the cuckoo, earliest spring
Its silver circlet knows,
When greening buds begin to swell
And zephyr melts the SHOWS,
Aud when DEFENDERS breezes howl
Along the moorlands bare,
And only blooms the Christmas rose,
The Daisy still is therel
Samaritan of flowers to it
All races are alike!
The Switzcr on his glancicr height
The Dutchman by his dyke
The seal-skin vested Esquimaux,
Begirt with icy seas,
And underneath his burning noon,
The parasord Chinese.
The emisrant on distant shore,
Mid scenes and faces strange,
Beholds its Towering in the sward,
Whereer his footsteps range;
And when his yearning, homc-sick heart
Would bow to his despair,
1t reads his eye lesson sage
That God is every where
Stars are the Daisies that begem
The blue fields of the sky,
Beheld by all and every where,
Bright prototypes on high -
Bloom on, thou, unpretending flower!
And to the wayerer be
An emblem of St Paurs content,
St Stcphen's constaney

E0y-lt is officially stated that ninety-6ve
millions of acres of the public lands will be
required TO satisfy the warrants of soldiers in
the late war, and the Secretary of the Urea
sury computes that it will take, at the rate
the public lands have been heretofore sold,
sixteen years to dispose of these ninety five
millions. The bill which passed the U. S.
Senate on Monday, appropriating ten millions
of acres to the States old and new, for the
benefit of the INDECENT insane, provides that
the States are to share in the grant in the
compound ratio of territory and population.

DR.. HooRaad's German Biters.

Ut. IIUOVINu tfEI man DttcISs
at is seldom that we recommend what are
termed Patent Medicines to the confidence and
patronage of our readers; and, therefore, when we
recommend Dr. Hoohand's German Bitters, we wish
1t to be distinctly understood, that we are not
speaking of the nostrums of the day, that are
noised about for brief period and then forgotten
after they have done their guilty race of mischief
but of a medicine long established, universally
priced, and which has met the hearty approval OF
the Faculty itself
Evidence upon evidence has been received (like
the foregoing) from all sections of the Union, the
last three years, and the strongest testimony IL its
!aoor that there is more OF it used in the prac-
t,ce Of the regular Physicians Of Philadelphia
than all other nostrums combined, fact that can
easily be established, and fully proving that sci
rntihc preparation will meet with their quiet APP
prevail when presented in this form
That this medicine will cure Liver Complaint
and Dyspepsia, no one can doubt, after using ii as
directed. 1t acts specifically upon the stomach and
iver-t ispreferable to calomel in al bilious dis.
eases-the effect is immediate. They can be adj
ministered to female infant with safety and re.
liable benefit, at any time.
