SUB MARINE TELEGRAPH WITHOUT -WIRES.-
The possibility of sending electric telegraph
messages across or through o body of water
without the aid Of the submarine wires has
been satisfactorily tested at Portsmouth. The
place selected for the experiment was the Mill
dam. at its widest part and where it is some 500
feet across. Two portions Of theapparatus were
placed on the opposite sides Of the water, and
terminated in plate constructed for the pur-
pose, and several messages were actually con-
yeyed across, or rather through, the entire
width of the ill-dam with accuracy and in
Simultaneous rapidity. There appeared every
possibility that this could be done as easily with
regard, TO the British Channel as the Mill dam
at Portsmouth The inventor is q gentleman OF
lacientifc attachments, residing at Edinburg,
and who has been described as the original in
yentor of the electric telegraph, but who, from
circumsta noes, was unable to turnthe Invention
| toshis own advantage. q

The Parade.

According to the public notices heretofore Civ
en-, the military companies from the different
parts of the county, assembled at the Summit on
Tuesday last. The day was fine, and the at
tendance both of volunteers and citizen -specta-
tors was correspondngly good
The Battalion was commanded by Captain
Humphreys, who performed the requirements
OF his position with ease and promptness, be-
speaking taste for warlike pursuits which he
once tested upon the field Of Mexico.
After marching to the field, the entire battal-
lion was reviewed by Gen. Mcdonald, and this
being the day for the expiration of his Office as
Bricader General he took his leave Of the differ
ent companies assent b!ed, in a few warm, ex-
pressivc and beautiful remarks, which called
forth enthusiastic peals of applause. lie was
Immediately succeeded by Maj. Linton, who
also bade good bye in a neat speech, to the SOL
diers of the battalion, upon whose affections he
has ever had so strong hold. The officers
and soldiers were likewise addressed by Capt.
Humphreys, in frank, appropriate style,
as well as by that gallant hero of ChapultePec
memory, Major Mclaughlin, whose presence
and voice upon the field contributed incidentally
to the general satisfaction and entertainment
of all in attendance.
A serious accident on the Portage Railroad,
between Planes No. 2 and 3, caused the absence
of two companies who were en- route when col
| lision took place, injuling many persons in q
greater or less degree, but it is hoped, none fa-
tally.
Much amusement was discoyerable in all quar-
ters during the day, afforded by the minglng o
so many different natures, and the occasion was
terminated by ball, in the evening, at the house
of Mr.. James Rifle, whose gentemanly deport-
ment and hospitality were the fulfIlment of Tho

Nebraska,

The Bill 10 organize the. territories of Kanzas
and Nebraska, was at length passed the House Ct
Representatives on Monday las at about II
o'clock at night, by vote of lib in favor Of the
Bill to 100 against it. 1t will new be returned
to the Senate where it originated, in order that
the House amendments may be acted upon, af-
ter which it will, no doubt, receive President
Pierce's approval, and thenceforward become the
law of the land.
We may now congratulate the country that
Congress, after having wasted almost half year
in laboring to establish a principle, which has
never been denied in this republic, namely the
right Of sefgovcInment" has succeeded. and
the public time and money and talent, will, in
future. it is hoped, be turned to something more
useful and important TO the States, than the con-
quest ofa mere abstraction, which, it is admit
ted by the leaders on both sides Of the question,
will never be seen or felt in any practical way.
Judge Douglass, Mr.. Benton, and those most
acquainted with the nature, soil, climate, pro-

where nature has forbid Slavery, it is not meet
that we should aid her by the appliance of hu-
man laws. In other words, let US be cautious
where it costs US nothing. Let US invite the
South to como with its " Peculiar institution" to
the territories whittier We are sure it never can
come, for the sake of courtesy. A monkey once
made report upon tree, and invited his friend,

my nature, that I could never have eaten with
comfort alone, had not just discharged my obi

that Judge Douglass is necessarily the next Presi

passed; and we hope our Wing friends, will not
be too much distracted by proceedings in Con-

Rich Joke.

The following from the & Gay and Incompara-
ble,' is too good to let slip; the many friends
Of Maj Phelps in this county VIII pcruse it with
considerable gJtsto.
Our friend Lloyd tells salty joke at the cx-
Pensc of Maj. Phelps, Assistant Superintendent
of the Portage Road. Those who know the Major
personally, may remember that heis tall, straight
as an arrow, with swarthy complexion. One
day last week, some eight or ten Indian chiefs,
in citizens dress-the representatives Of as many
tTibes-were crossing the mountain on their way
to Washington. Phelps, out Of curiosity, went
into the car TO see them, when two or three of
them Immediately arose and commenced address
sing him$n their own language The Major was
non plusscd, and asked the interpreter for an ex-
PLANTATION.
They are asking you what tribe you belong
to- said the interpreter.
Phelps, tcklod at the idea, told him to inform
them that he belonged to the " Cambria Flat
Feet" The subject was discussed among them,
and as none of them had ever heard Of that tribe.
they concluded that Phelps was naturally the
chief of some outside half breed tribe who had
forgotten the language of their ancestors.

Accident.

\ collision occurred On the Portage Railroad,
on Tuesday morning last, which had well nigh
resulted seriously. The Quitman Guards, Capt.
Alexander, and the Montgomery Guards, Capt.
Stewart, arrived at the foot of the grade, below
No. 2, at about 10 A. NJ, both the locomotives
plying on the grade, having left for No I, one of
the engines of the long level was directed by
Major Phelps, the accommodating Superinten-
dent of the Western Slope, to push the cars occu-
pied by the volunteers, up the grade in the mean
time, both the coal-burners had been compelled
to stop some cars out of the train towed by the
foremost engine, having jumped the track, in
the heavy curve below McColgan's S Coal Works
with the hindmost train the cars of the Volun-
teers came in contact. Before the moment of
striking, the persons ON the cars jumped off and
were all more less bruised. Capt. NJ. Stewart
had his left arm broken Capt. Alexander had
his face and head cut Mr.. William McGeogh
was also much cut about the head and bruised.
They are all however, doing WELL
The numerous friends of Major Hamilton, the
jolly host of the g Jefferson House" were per.
feeily astonishedto learn that he had come off
with only few scratches. Upon the first ru-
NOR Of the accident, it was supposed that his
usual luck would have put him in for at least a
share of broken limbs

FURTHER FROM CALIFORNIA.

NEW YORK, May q, p. NJ.

NEW YORK, May q, P. NJ.
The steamship North Star, from Aspinwall
18th, bringing California dates to the Ist inst,
arrived here this evening.
The North Star brings S30O,00 in gold, be-
sides large amount in the hands Of passengers.
She also brings 100 passengers.
The important feature Of the news BY this ar
rival has generally been anticipated by the Uni
ted States at New Orleans.
The Legislature Of California had agreed to ad-
iourn on the 18th. Many important bills had
been passed. The session has been boistcrouS
one.
Col Fremont reports very favorably on one
route for the Pacific Railroad. He will soon
make an important report Of his explorations,
and give an interesting narrative ofthe suterings
of his company over the mountains.
The crops throughout California are reported
to be excellent, and a large yield is anticipated
A large number Of miners are turning their at
tention to agricultural pursuits.
Crime is becoming less frequent in the State
Only one or two trials by Judge Lynch is report
ed. The miners are forming themselves in po-
lice bands for the mutual protection Of each 9th
er.
A rich quartz vein had been discovered n0ar
Placervie, which promised an immense yield of
gold. Several other discoveries of gold of minor
Importance had been made in various parts of the
State. The miners are represented to be in cx-
cellent spirits.
The arrests of the Mexican and French Con-
suls-the former charged with violating the neu-
trality laws, and the latter refusing to testify
the case-caused great excitement in San Fran
CISCO The French Consul declares he will not
again raise his flag until the government makes
apology.
The authorities are accused by portion of
the press with having managed the affairs badly
\ number of the people of San Francisco think
that the French Consul acted as became his sta
ton.
Judge Campbell has resigned as a member of
the Land Commission. Much dissatisfaction is
expressed at the conduct Ofsome of the Commits
sioners. Their decisions in some instances are
looked upon outrages.
The dates from Lower California are to the 5th
of April, and arc as usual varied and conflicting.
One thing appears certain, that President Wal
kcrs new Republic has not stood the test of In
dependence. One account, which appears to be
the most reliable, states that his force had been
reduced to forty men, and that they are the most
hardened land pirates that ever lived They
