A SuI,lilne BRIDAL.

We learn from the New York Mirror
says an exchange that invitations are out for
the most sublime and magnificent nuptials
ever celebrated upon our planet-the wed
ding of the rough Atlantic to the Fair Pacific
Ocean. An iron necklace has been thrown
across the Isthmus; the bans are already
published. Some seven millions of dallars
have been spent in achieving this union, but,
as tho fruits thereof will soon show, it has
been money we'll invested. Across the bo-
som Of the Isthmus the golden products oI
our Pacific borders, and the incal culable
treasures Of the distant Orient, are destined
10 flow in unremitting streams. The Mir.
ror observes. sta..s fl. .yta -...l s.-.
"The stupendous enterprise of uniting
the two oceans, which embrace the greater
portion Of globe, we are proud to say, wa.
conceived and executed by our own citizens
in the frowning face of obs tacles that none
but Americans could have overcome. The
swamps, mountains and misasmas OF the Is
thmus drove all the engineers of Europe
home in dispair who contemplated the gigan
tic undertaking., and the Hurculean worl
was left in the hands and hearts Of men il
whose vocabulary there is no such wor
as fall The engineers Of England an
Frssce pronounced the project utterly i'm
practicable. To the late lamented John 4
Stevens and his associates, Aspinwali
Chapncy, Colt Whiterightr and others, th
world is indebted for the completion Of thi
GREAT soND--this commercial linking ofth

The Partagc, Democrat.

From the Correspondent Of the New York Tribune ]
There is only one heretofore Anti. Nebras-
ka paper on the Reserve that evinces dis
position to abandon the anti-slavery cause,
and follow after the " "Clyennes," and that is
The Portage Democrat, edited by man called
HaH--a vuscillating, impulsive, uncertain
creature, who, for the last three months, has
entirely devoted his sheet to libeling ant
blackguarding The TRIBUNE, Era, and
Cleveland Leader. But his concern has little
or no influence with anti.slavery men; the
honest, intelligent voters Of his county are
disgusted with his apostacy, albeit, they me-
yer had much confidence in his political in
tegrity. don't think dozen anti-Nebras-
ka papers IN the State will sustain Know
Nothing State ticket, if one should be nom
mated in opposition to the regular RePubli'
can ticket.

Description Of the New Territory

Description of the New Territory
known as the Gadsden Pur.
ChaSe.
F. ON the following description given Of
the country that the United States obtained
from Mexico by the Gadsden Treaty it would
seem not to be that barren, worthless tract
which many papers, and especially the
Wing, have represented. A correspondent
Of the San Francisco Herald writes TINS:
"The new Territory recently purchased
by the United States, il the north Of Sono-
ra, seems already to attract considerable at
tentlon, if may Judge from number of set
tiers who have made Tuxon their perma-
nent place of residence, aud the exploring
parties who are now crossing the country in
various directions in search of gold, silv, r
and copper mines, all of which undoubtedly
abound. The new boundary line has not
been run yet, and am therefore unable 10
say, with any degree OF certainly, what tow 8
will be included. 1t seems, however, gen-
orally understood that, besides the town of
Tuxon, Tubac, TumacacOri, Santa Cruz and
Cuiduasds IoTuI part VI lne AWeTICaH acqul-
siton. Although but very narrow strip Of
land, yet the country abounds in fertile, well
wa,ered valleys, is emnently adapted for
stock breeding, offers great facilities for q
lively trade with Mexico, and has speedy
prosperity to hope, even without the mighty
agency of the Pacific Railroad and the hid
den treasures OF its mountains. From CAL
fornia, as we'll as from Sonora, all the val
leys of the country are perfectly accessible
by conveyances OF every kind, good wagon
roads leading into and out Of it. The eli
mate is temperate and healthy, avoiding
alike the extreme heat of Lower Sonora and
the rgor Of the north, and the fertility ofthe
soil is extreme. ..... -. ...-.
The country possesses every element Of
prosperity, and our Government would, in
stead of thinly-Populated and now appa-
renty worthless Territory, find a populous
and forshing one, if it were not for. the
curse of the northern States of Mexico, the
Apaches, who, since lS4s, have committed
upon the small village Of Tuxon depreda-
tions to the amount of Gil ,O00." IL ,af
