Wisconsin has given charters for fifteen
Thousand miles of Railroad, that will require
S3OO.OOO,OOO to construct.
There seems to be Il mania pcrvading tho
whole country in regard to railroads. 1t will
not last long, however, wholesome rcac.
ton will soon take place, which will secure
the building and completion of leading lines
and those of less Importance will speedily be
abandoned.

on these subjects is soon to be concluded
though Mr. Champion has urged the subject
upon the attention of this government, and
is fully empowered to treat concerning it.

The "spiritual Telegraph" (ghost paper)
of last week informs us that
"Every day brings to our notice some new
demonstration of the power of the present
spiritual Reformation. In many places the
outward church is vlsibly yielding to its in
finencc, while the mysterious powers every
where work invisibly beneath n thousand
affairs"
The Telegraph, in summing up what it
calls "the powers impaired by Spirits" says:
"lhe casting out of undeyeloped demons:
the healing Of the sick, the lame, the blind,
either by instantaneous cure, or by more
gradual recovery under the use of means
prescribed by superior direction; the use of
unknown tongues, the foretclling of future,
events, the power of discerning or perceiving
Spirits-all these have been exhibited in
numerous instances, some under our own
observation, in our own family, and even
through our own instrumentality, and others
in well attcsted cases, the evidence Of which
is before the public"

A long Cabinet meeting has been held to-
day. 1t is understood that the Fisheries, and
the instructions to General Garland. with
reference to Mexican affairs, were the subicc,
of discussion. The Mesilla question looks
more threatening, and the accumulation of
British force on the fishing grounds requires
all the circumspection Of the Government.

A DIscovERY-Wc have come to the con-
clusion that Mrs. Harriet Beccher Stowe is
not the author Of Uncle Toms Cabin, and we
nave rather shrewd suspicion of the identity
of the person who is. Our reasons for ignor-
ing Mrs. Stoves claims are, first-the feeble
ness of her other productions, which have
appeared over her own name, from time to
time, in the MiIIiners' Magazines of Phiadel-
pha-second, the ridiculous efforts made by
her at the Stafford House, and elsewhere, to
explain book which she had only read like
any other possessor Of Il copy-thrd, the
vuIgarlty and coarscness which mark her con-
duet in Britain, from the speeches delivered
in return for penny subscriptions, to the in
Hated pntis of her own proves, which have
been printed in the Timcs-tourth, her evil
dent awkwardncss in the character of a
genius, and the fussy, frowsy excitement
which usually points out pretendcr to all
experienced eyes. All these fucts are con-
tirnatory Of our belief that Mrs. Stowe never
wrote Uncle Toms Cabin. Who wrote it
then! A young man of refined taste, bril-.
liant c'oqucnce and fonatical opinions, who is,
We believe, her brother, and rcjoccs in the
name Of Henry Ward Bcecher!-N. O. Della.

THE DISPUTE WITH MEXICO.

The following brief outline of Gov. Lanes
manifesto will give some idea of the ground
on which the boundary line is disputed:
Governor Lanes Dc)cnce of His Anner.
alton Aci.-Thc Mexican journ Is publish the
manifesto made By Governor Lane, of New
Mexico, to the chihuahua commissioners
defending position taken by him in relation
to the claims made By him, on the part Of the
United States, to the valley of the Mesilla.-
This communication is dated 23d of March,
The first paragraph of the document justilies
Governor Lanes act, on the simple ground
that the division line runs between the two
republics, from the Rio Grande to the ella,
had been disaprroved and repudiated by the
President and Congress of the United States.
Such line was run ca parte by Mexico, with
the sanction of Mr.. Commissioner Bartlett
against the consent of Major Graham, and
under the protest of Surveyor Grey, whose
sanction thereto was necessary to make the
line valid MIR. Lane goes on to say that neitIl-
cr the government nor the officers of the
United States have any intention to sacrifice
national honor or violate the clauses of the
treaty Of peace, but that, in fact, the only
violation Of such treaty which he has known
has been pcrpctratcd by the Mexican citizens
themselves lie assures the Commissioners,
besides, that the civil discords which unhap-
PLY reign in Mexico arc the cause of grief,
not of joy, to the American government, and
the majority of the nation.
The communication then shows that the
political geographical position of the disputed
valley had been always recognized as com
prised in the territory of New Mexico, that
the surveyor appointed by the government
having resigned, Mr.. Bartlett exceeded his
faculties in appointing successor to him, and
that therefore the line made out was simply
II provisional one, subject to the appreciation
or rcpudiaton Of 10th Mexico and the Uni
ted States. The initial point was fixed ut 32
deg. % min; whilst Mr.. Grey insisted it
should have been fixed about 80 min. further
south-that Is to say, at 81 deg. So min., a
point eight miles north of the town of Ell
Paso. Mr.. Grey protested against the act of
Mr.. BARTLETT, a portion of which protest Gov.
Lane introduced into his statement for the
information Of the Commissioners of Chi
huphua. Colonel Graham, of the United
States, who was afterwards added to the
commission, also-Mr. Lane continucs-re-
PEELED the division line of Mr. Bartlett, which
line could be nothing more than provision
al one, dependent upon the recognition Of
the two governments. Mr.. Lane, in cOnclu-
sion gives extracts from President Fillmorc's
last message to Congress, to show that the
line so made has been disapprovcd and repu-
dated by the Government Of the United
States, and is consequently of no validity.
