The NEW MAIL RouTE.-Wceksh have elapsed
since we learned that the contract for carrying
the mail from this point to Milwaukee was la
ken by Capt. WARD,the present Steam Boat Ad-
miral Of the Lakes, and that he was to CON-
mence service Immediately. Since then it has
been reported that the Admiral's construction of
the contract, is that he may commence the serv-
ice and convey the mail on the route when it
shall suit his convenience, and that the boat in-
tended for the service is now used as a regular
steam tug in carrying cattle from Milwaukee to
Green Bay.
We clip the following from the Holland
er, and we say quiet your fears, for we know
that your favorite Boat g. Capt. too will be sus-
tanned by Kalamazoo and st. Joseph and a fair
share of the business from this place, passen-
gers from this region have become tired of pay
ing wharfage and carriage on baggage and freight
at the Jewish town Of Milwaukee.
Let the " Harrison" be punctual in making her
trips and they will do well, they are running a
route that pays. We wish the Hollander would
read Captain p. lecture for loosing one trip
last week and thereby disappointing crowd of
passengers, if the lecture is well read we prom
Use to dine Old Nose on the next sixty-two
pound trout that we are presented with, we
would like the privilege of putting some flesh
on those bones Of yours Moses. We have
laughed ourselves poor over your correspond
ence with you know who.
ave see by the Grand Rirer Times that
Capt. Ward has the contract for carrying the
mail from Grand Haven TO Milwaukee.
We hope Capt. Pheatt of the Gen. Harrison
will not be bluffed off by this operation, but that
he will stick to this route,and that the travelling
community will not be so blind to their own in
terest as to patronise the Ward when they can
by any possibility take the Harrison.

wish for charity but for the opportunity of work.

GEORGIA WHIGGERy.--Hon. r. Toombs, Of
Georgia, (whig) in accepting a denomination for
Congress, says of Northern Abolitionism:
It's acknowledged exponent is the Free Soil
party, but it is dangerous and virulcnt in both
sections of New England, New York, and Ohio,
but the democracy of New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
Illinois and Iowa are unsubdued. and are still
capable of mighty effort for the Constitution
and the Union. AS the wing party it has sue
cumbed to it, and it controls the organization
of that party in every n-slaveholding State in
the Union. 1t is thoroughly denationaized and
sectonalized by it, and will never make anoth-
er national contest The wing party of the
South will never meet the Stewards and Win
throp's and Vinton's and Johnson's and Bald
wins of the North, in another national conven-
ton We are indebted to the defeat of the pol
icy of these men for the existence of the gov
eminent of this day. We shall trust them no
more.

WORLDS PEACE CoNGREss.-The Worlds
Peace Congress came off on the Odd, 23d, and
Oath ut., ut London, and was attended with very
great interest. Exeter Hall, which can seat
$500 persons, was crammed full and yet none
but those who had tickets were admitted. Be-
ing put down as delegate from the United
States, it was my privilege TO participate in the
proceedings, and rich treat it was to be there.
There were thousand delegates form different
parts of Great Britain, quite a phalanx from
France, and more or less from most of the coun-
tries OF Europe, not excepting Austria, and q
goodly number from the United States, among
whom EIihu Burrit was of course the chief of
the whole movement,
There were speeches in English French, Ger
man, Spanish, &C., and such Demostheian bursts
of eloquence, such lofty strains of argument, it
has seldom or never been my privilege to listen
to before.
Mr. Cobden's speech in favor of universal
disarmament among the nations, was power
full appeal to the good sense and the good feel
ing of mankind took notes of it and some
others, but doubt whether | shall get time to
write them out. A resolution deprecating the
interference Of one nation with the affairs of an
other, as having tendency to perpetuate the
evils of war, was disc used with surprising eo-
quence.
Nothing would delight me more than to give
visibility to the great thoughts which rolled out
with such overwhelming effect, upon that vast
assembly, in support of this resoution,bu but can
not now.
Resolutions also, in favor of right education,
right use of the pulpit, and of the press in re-
lation to this subject; in favor of referring Ma
tional misunderstanding to arbitration, in con-
demnation of laws for supporting war, and rec
ommending the formation Of code of Inter-
national Law, were also ably discussed, and car
ried by reclamation.
Sir Daniel Brewster, the most learned man In
Europe, acted as President. The cause is en-
listing the cooperation of many distinguished
men in different parts of Europe, and seems to
be making rapid strides. The mighty demon
stration made furnishes an encouraging con-
trast to The meagre assembly which constituted
the first Congress in Belgium four years ago.

The New York Post, speaking of the arrival
Of the steamship Prometheus at that port from
Nicaraugua--says:
This is the first trip by way of the Nicarau-
qua route, and the passage, performed in 29t
days, was the shortest yet made. Nearly five
days, we are informed, were lost in consequence
of not effecing an exact connection with the
steamer on the Pacific. This, of course, will
not occur in the next trip, so that it seems pref
ty certain that the passage by this route from
New York to San Francisco, will be made in
twenty-five days. The passage across the 18th
mus, from San Juan del Sud to San Juan dc
Nicaragua, was performed in thirty-three hours,
running time. The iron steamer, Sir Henry
Bulwer, steamed up and down the river San Ju-
an without the least difficulty The passengers
all declare themselves delighted with tho new
route, and say emphatically it is the route.

County, to the advertisement Of GILBERT g. Co.,

The offer, we think must secure the delivery

Rapids, at this point. We learn that the steam
boats will furnish bags, if needed by farmers,
and bring down their wheat from STEEL's land
ing, or any other accessible point, for four cents
per bushel, and for three cents where bags are
not furnished by the boat. We think the farm
ers of this County, had ought to furnish this
point with all the coarse grains needed. Thou
