RICHARDSON'S ATMOsPHERrC TELE-
GRAPH.

Several days ago. the Senate of the United
States had under consideration the bill appro-
priating $4,000 to enable the Postmaster
General to make a practical experiment of the
atmospheric telegraph, and to test its practica-
bility and usefulness for the conveyance Of the
United States mails.
Mr. Collamer, in response to an objection
which was interposed, reminded the Senate that
an appropriation was made to test the practica-
bility Of Morses Telegraph, and 1t might have
been added, that during the period of the Mex
lean war, ten thousand dollars were appro-
priated Ia test the use of the Greek fire."
for which we now have no occasion, the burn
ing liquid having been superseded by the more
valuable articles of gunpowder and cannon
balls. Besides, an appropriation Of $4,000
1--WE think was made to enable Professor Page
to test the application of magnetism to loco
motive purposes. We only mention these
things to show that precedents are not wanting
for such appropriations.
Mr.. Thompson, of Kentucky, opposed the
proposition, characterizing it as one to "try
an experiment. which he said was silly"
He remarked his friend from Florida Mr..
Mallory had "made very learned, philoso-
phical, scientific report upon it" but he
"would not undertake to answer it by figures
and facts because he "coULD NOT DO IT."
"But, as to this machine he continued, ".it is
a machine, / think, to take from Uncle Sam
n,, tba nj a
car might be called machine" to take from
the echequer Of our beloved political relative
some Of the surplus dollars, for the perform
ance of valuable and indispensable service.
The senator's courtesy and fair-dealing are not
here questioned; but would it not be just to
the ingenious gentleman to give him an oppor-
tunity of demonstrating the usefulness of his
invention?
Now, Mr.. Richardson has four months been
exhibiting his " machine" in the rotundo OF
the Capitol to thousands of admiring specta-
tors The working of the model amply de-
monstrates the certainty of the movements on
an extended scale. No mere theory is assert.
ed--the movements of the telegraph" speak
for themselves, to the planest capacity. we
doubt not that Mr.. Richardson could soon con-
vince the most sceptical. Because there have
been failures in regard to other subjects, the
plea should not apply to the prejudice of the
one of which we are now speaking. With
equal propriety it might be urged that man is
incapable of selfgovernment because Of fail
ures" in the countries Of the old world. In
view of the important events to be achieved,
the sum required to test the practcability of
the invention falls into insignifcance.

Importaht from Mexico.

BY a passenger, WHO arrived from Savannah
in the steamship Florida, we have direct news
from Mexico. He left the capitol on the I'd,
and Vera Cruz on the 9Th instant.
The expected decree, declaring that the
clergy shall not be permitted to centralize
property in their own hands, was officially pro-
mulgated in the city Of Mexico on the 18th Of

The people seemed to be generally well sat
isfied with this measure, and numerous con-
gratulations had poured in on President Co.

The next feature of the programme, relative
TO the clergy, it is understood, will be the ex-

9th of April, with some FIVE hundred passen0es
for California, by way of Nicaragua. On the
10th she arrived at San Juan, and the passen-
gers disembarked. BY means Of open boats
they started up the river during soaking rain.
The exposure caused them much SUFFERING
When they arrived at Castillo, they were in
formed that the transit across the country was
closed and after two days delay, during which
they were constantly exposed to the weather,
they were told that if they chose they could
return to New York, but only fifteen minutes
were allowed them and as they were compelled
to abandon their baggage in case they con-
cluded to go back, three hundred determined
TO push on.
They were taken to Granada, where they
were detained month, Notwithstanding that
an epidemic was prevailing there. Here the
most fearful disease commenced to rage among
them. In four weeks seventy-nine of the three
hundred were buried. During this time they
suffered every privation-many were without
means, and those who had money were CON-
PEELED to put up with extortion and robbery at
every hand.
On the 10th May, in the evening, news
reached Granada Of the arrival of the Sierra
Nevada, at San Juan del Sur, and three hours
were given the surviving passengers, sick and
the time it was pouring rain and pitch dark.
The sick we're carried down in the best manner
possible, all getting thoroughly drenched. Upon
reaching the landing of the lake steamer, they
were kept in the rain until all had exhibited
their tickets, which detained them several
hours. Finally, all were crowded on board
but before morning three of the sick died and
were sent on shore.
On the Lake steamer the scene is described
as having been dreadful. The passengers were
crowded together like like sheep in a pen.
There was scarcely room for the sick to lie
down. For nineteen hours they were thus con-
fined, suffering every torture of body and of
mind. Several poor wretches gave up the ghost
on the boat and others died while attempting
the journey from the Lake to San Juan.
After they embarked in the Sierra Nevada
the sickness broke out again, and during the
passage from San Juan to this port thrty-three
deaths occurred.
The suffering on the Sierra Nevada beggars
all description. The officers of the steamer
did all in their power to alleviate their suffer
ings, but this was little. No time was lost in
disposing of the dead, and the body was hardly
allowed to get cold before it was thrown over
board. The safety of the living demanded
that there should be no unnecessary detention
of the dead.

The Wheelharrow Man.

Col Fremont was commended to the north
ern Republicans as marvellous proper man
for the Presidency chiefly because he had ex-
plored and mapped out the Rocky Mountains.
Some years ago, man started from the AT.
lantic States with wheelbarrow, and tugged
all the way to California over those same Rocky
Mountains. Now, we should like to know on
what principle Of justice the claims of the orr
ginal wheebarrow man we're overlooked at
Philadelphia.
Besides if men are to be made Presidents of,
simply because they are good travellers, Steep
rock, the Indian, had preemptionary claim
to the Philadelphia nomination. Justice, too,
should have been done, to "the man that

From an English almanac we a long time
since cut recipe for mending chnaware, and
the opportunity having occurred for testing its
sirtues, we found it admirable, the fracture be-
ing scarcely visible after the article had been
repaired 1t is thus made: Take very thick
solution Of gum arabic dissolved in water, and
stir into it plaster of Paris until the mixture
becomes yiscous paste. Apply it with
brush to the fractured edges, aud stick them
together In three days the article cannot be
broken in the same place. The whiteness Of
the cement renders il doubly valuable.-Er-

few days since, wild woman, who was
being exhibited in Cincinnati, (by man who
stated that he caught her with dogs and las
so in the Washita mountains, Texas,) was
taken before the Probate Court in that city, on
an inquest Of lunacy." A number Of physi
clans examined her and testified that she had,
on more than one occasion, been n mother,
and majority Of them thought her insane.
She was committed to Jail to await the result

Up with the Negro-Down with the
White Man.

In the Wisconsin State Senate, lately bill
was passed extending the right Of suffrage to
the negroes of that State-yeas 16, nays 6.
While this process Of elevating the negro TO
political privileges is going on with Black Re.
publicanism, the same faction, in its Know
nothing shape, is combating for laws which
will degrade white men who are born without
the country, or those Of Catholic faith, born in,
or out of it, to the condition Of heots. Mas
sachusetts, the headquarters of Black Repub.
licanism, has moved first in prosecuting the
foreign-born white man to position beneath
her negroes.
Abolition "shrieks for freedom" are not made
for men Of white blood, The negro, only, is
the object Of its sympathy, and for this they
agitate, trampling upon law and Constitution
in their zeal for his elevation. In its labors
in this regard our German foreign citizens are
especial involved to assist abolitionism-to
elevate the negro and degrade their own coun-
trymen. Some of the leaders claim to repu-
diate Know nothingism, but it is only where
the latter will not incorporate Abolitionism
among its tenets. Black Republicanism, as
represented in the national house Of represen.
tatives, has five members who endorse Know.
nothingism where it has one who repudiates il.
The latter is an acceptable artice of faith with
the great mass of Atolitionists, but they re.
quire with the white mans degradation, the
need of honor to the negro.
1t is thus freedom shrieks," and TO par.
ticipation in this Republican labor, white men
Of foreign birth are asked to lend a hand.
Massachusetts, having favored the negro,
now moves for the prescription Of the foreign.
born white man. Wisconsin Republicanism
has taken the first step only, but give it the
power, and the last step will be taken.

encroaches more; fight against it vigorously.
One great remedy is, to take short views of
life. Are you happy now? Are you likely to
remain SO till this evening? or next week? or

present happiness by distant misery, which
may never come at all, or you may never live

BY advces from Guatemala and San Salvador

that without any official declaration of war; the
government of these two States had combined in
hostile league against this republic, and the
vanguard ofan invading force was already in the
field and on the road hither. From Leon, the
present seat Of government we have the official
proclamation of this government directed against
Guatemala, that unless that State recognized
the existing government of Nicaragua, this
republic would be forced to the extremity of a
declaration of war, to vindcate its honor. Thus
both States have assumed an attitude of hostility;
