Newfoundland.

There is an island some fifteen hundred miles
east of us, at present but little known thought
Of which is destined ere long to hold an impor-
tant position relative to this continent and Eu-
rope We refer to Newfoundland Rich in its
fisheries alone, it has remained obscure and neg
lccted until this year, when the spirit of enter
prise was aroused there by Mr. F. N. Osborne,
late government superintendent of the Nova Sco-
tia telegraph lines. This gentleman, who has
Just returned from successful exploration Of the
interior of that island is now in our city endeav-
oring to enlist the sympathies of our capitalists
and merchants in the project of connecting that
| far-off island with Nova Scotia and the United
States, by extending the line of telegraph from
ST. Johns to Cape Pray, and thence forty-eight
miles across the Gulf of st. Lawrence, by the
same process recently adopted in crossing the
straits between England and France. From Off
cial documents, with which Mr.. Osborne has
been furnished, it appears that the Newfoundland
government are disposed to extend large pecu-
mary aid and every necessary facility for the
accomplishment of this great enterprise, which
would seem to be of vital Importance to that
province and which, should the On tcipation of
its projectors be realized, will add most impor-
tant link to the chain of commercial operations
between the Old and New Worlds Mr.. Osborne
also represents the interests Of the Newfoundland
Steam Navigation Committee, who hold out
prospect of legislative aid, cheap GOALS &C., &C.,
&C., as an inducement TO any of our trans-Atlan-
tic steam companies who will make st. Johns a
port of call once month for their steamers.

in defence of their rights if the South will itself
become united, and, when united, act in concert
with that Northern party who give the strongest
and most reliable guarantees to the South. Can
this be done? We believe it can. To aid in doing
it, the american Telegraph" win take an active
part in the next Presidential election, 1t will
urge the South to unite upon the republican basis
of '98, and to send, in good faith full and able
representation to the Baltimore Convention, un-
will unite with them in the nomination of candi-
dates entitled to their confidence and support;
and who, if elected, will exert the power and in
fuence of the federal government to protect the
rights and property of the South.
That the people may act understandingly, we
invite full and candid investigation of tho merits
and qualifications of those who may be presented
as candidates for the Presidency and Vice Presi-
dency. AS the nominations, if properly made,
will receive the support of the republican party,
this examination of the merits of candidates
must be made before the meeting of the conyen-
ton; and that the Telegraph may give more
efficient aid in that discussion, we propose to
issue weekly super-royal sheet, in quarto, at
the reduced price Of one dollar per annum. This
weekly paper will become valuable book Of ref
erence, containing the facts and arguments re-
lating to the Presidential election and much other
political and general intelligence, with carefully
prepared index.
Postmasters and republican committees are re-
quested to act as agents.

that purpose, and that no contracts will be given
unless that board be fully satisfied that mail SER
vice adequate to the payments will be amply Sc

We desire to obtain the views of your company
upon these and all other matters of detail, and
respectfully ask Of you to furnish US such statis-
tics as will enable US to submit to the convention
and to Congress a statement showing the COM
parative increase or diminuton, as the case may
be- of the mail service performed by your COM
pany-the past, and probable future increase of
the weight of mails carried over the route Of
your road. And in this connexiOn we wish to
learn what, in your opinion, will be the probable
increased weight of the mails, if newspapers and
periodicals are sent free of postage.
We wish you also to state what is the present
current price of your shares, what rate of divi-
dend does your company now pay, and what divi-
dend could you pay under a contract such as we
propose. -......-.

FIogging In the Navy.

! We have read with much pleasure the manly
and eloquent speech of Com. Stockton against
the restoration Of the punishment Of fogging in
the navy Of the United States. ,tuasa4sf8 n
We do not know what kind of stuff men are
made of who advocate return to system Of
barbarity that never should have disgraced the
navy of the United States and we consider il
alike fortunate for our national honor and the
cause of humanity that one so competent every
way to discuss the question as Com. Stockton
should be in Congress to meet and defeat the at
tempt. No man whose self-respect has been
destroyed-as the self-respect of any man must
be destroyed-by the LASH is fit to be intrusted
with the honor and the reputation of the Ameri-
can navy. If discipline cannot be enforced with
out this brutal punishment it, must be because
our navy is not made of the right kind Of mate
rial-the fault must be in the officers or men, or
both; and we go for the experiment of a change
of material, rather than the restoration Of the
lash and would rather have no navy than a navy
composed of tyrants and slaves. The lash is the
type, the badge, the emblem of slavery, and
sJoye fixed 1t certain that whatever day B.g
Makes a slave takes half his worth away"
The glory of the American navy was not estab-
lished and cannot be maintained, by men who
have to be fogged into obedience to proper COM
mands and the discharge of their proper duties !;
and there will be no difficulty in manning every
national vessel with men

Who know their rights and, knowing dare maintain"

We would call the attention of the public
generally, and especially of oil persons imme-
diatey interested in Railroads. to the Circular to
the Presidents of Railroad Companies from the
committee of the meeting held in this city on the
Sd inst. We understand that the meeting ad-
journed until the first Tuesday in March, that the
great convention to be held at New Orleans on
the first Monday in January may act upon the
proposed modification of the laws regulating mail
contracts. 1t is hoped that the adjourned meet
ing will be fully attended, and that Railroad
Companies who cannot conveniently send dele
gates will authorize their members of Congress
or some one else to represent them.

Triumph OF the LndiesI

Kossuths reception by the legislature of
Pennsylvania appears to have been very curl
Gus affair. The ladies took entire possession Of
the hall of the House-placed themselves in the
seats of members, and refused to bulge there
from, even though the military were called upon
to expel them The noise was wonderful-the
confusion tremendous-the chagrin of the ex-
PEELED representatives unspeakable--and the de-
light of the fair sex unprecedented The voice
of the Speaker was drowned by the clatter of
tongues the louder he called to "order " the
greater was the disorder and when the mem
bers resigned themselves to their fate, and intro
duced the Magyar, even that distinguished per-
sonage, with all his versatility and command of
language, seems to have been dunbfounded.
Speeches were made on the occasion, or, nt least,
are supposed to have been made, from the fact
that the lips of Kossuth and others were seen to
move, but what the words were none can tell.

It is alleged by their advocates that the late
measures, called Compromise, should be salts
factory and final adjustment of the slavery ques-
ton. They cannot become so otherwise than by
uniting and consolidating the South in support
Of their rights and by harmonizing the conflict
ing sectional interests which have arrayed the
North against the South. " ao s-a
The result of the late elections proves that the
South are attached to the Union, and wish to
harmonize with the North. To reconcile con-
ficting opinions, and secure concert aud una
goodwill This is impossible, unless the sections
deal fairly and justly towards each other. The
true end Of government is to protect persons and
property. In the South slaves are property, and
the South demand the peaceable and quiet pos
session of such property Their right to hold
slaves as property is denied by the Abolitionists
of the North, who, that they may more efficiently
control public opinion in that section, have or
ganized themselves into religious and political
combinations They act through the press, the
pulpit, and the ballot-box. Such an organization
in one section makes it Indispensable that there
should be a counter organization in the other;
because, if not resisted by such counter organiza
tion, the inevitable consequence would be that
the Northern organization would absorb and
control the entire public sentiment, social moral,
religious, and political, of that section. The
purpose Of the Northern organization is to assail
the rights and interests Of the South the pur
pose of the Southern organization should be to
Drotect the interests thus assailed
Late events prove that the North are SO deeply
interested in preserving their present political and
commercial relations to the South, that o power
full, influential, and controlling party can be raj
lied in that section who will unite with the South

How ANIMALS Cool OFF. DIR. Wander
burgh, in an address before the New York
Academy of Medicine, as quoted in the Nep
England Farmer among other things says
"The genus homo and the genus horse have
a double privilege of refrigeration, while all
other animated beings have but one. You may
be surprised to learn that no other beings
sweat, except men and horses; and hence no
other beings can cool themselves, when hot, by
perspiration through the skin. The confirma-
ton of this fact is found in the whole range OF
comparative anatomy, where nature has fur
nished examples, on the most extended scale Of
magnitude in the whole animal world, in the
largest as well as the smallest of beings.
'sIn all the pachydermata, or thick-skinned
animals, except the horse are found no pores
in the skin that exhale heat by perspiration,
the envelope on all these animals being only a
secretng surface, like others of the internal
surface of the body. All the cleft-feet species,
including those presenting feet with toes
rounded and unprorided with caws-the ele-
phant rhinoceros, bison, mammoth, mastodon,
buffalo, OK, swine deer, as well as the lion, IT,
ger, bear, wolf, fox birds, squirrels, dormouse,
opossum, racoon-all alike offer the same ex-
ampes as the dog, that they have no other
means Of cooling themselves, when hot, except
through the medium of the lungs, by respra'
