ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH

Among the latest items Of news from the
other side of the water, is the notice of a
grand banquet given by the shareholders in
the great enterprise of stretching the te!e-
graph cable across the Atlantic, which is
now so near completion. At the meeting
n letter was read from President Buchanan
in reply to one from Mr.. Field. 1t stated
thai he (Mr. Buchanan) would feel honored
If the first message across the Atlantic be
one from Queen Victoria TO the President
Of the United States, and that he would en-
deayor to answer it in spirit and manner

MRS. EMMA CUNNINGHAM.

New York City is again the theatre Of
an intense excitement caused by second
outrageous crime laid TO the door Of this
notorious woman, full particulars Of which,
We !ind in the Day Book. Our readers will
remember that it was but recently she was
tried for the murder Of DR.. Burdell and ac-
quilted, but under such circumstances rs 10

guilt. She also partially established the
fIct-made it sufficiently plain to satisfy the
law we bclicvo-that she Was the widow
of the murdered -laa, and consequently.
part mir 10 his Immense estate. Not con-
tent with only part of the estate, her dii-
bulcaI nature conceived Il plan for imposing

with the view OF securing the whole Of il

report, that some time about the first of the
present month she would be delivered of
child, and engaged one DR.. Uhl, whom il
seems she had some reason TO suspect
might DC moulded 10 her purpose, as her
medical adviser.
The Story goes, that after several prelim-
mary interviews, the Doctor ente rtaincd
suspicious that Mrs. c. WAS only feigning
cncieHtS, aud so strong vas his doubts ofher
situation, as set forth b. the lady, that the
Doctor sought and obtained an interview
with the District Attorney. This last named
gentleman aud the Doctor then devised
plan for the detection Of any crime, if such
was contemplated by Mrs. &. DIR. Uhl then
returned TO Mrs. &. and, pretending to be
her confidential adviser, drew out an admis
sion from her that the expected birth was
fraud, and concluded to put. herself into
the power Of Dr. Uh, by Offering him ST.

the accDUchmcn.
The District Attorney and the Doctor
then lent themselves to this perfectly out.

The Difference.

The Richmond Enquirer gives the fol.
lowing very tru,hGuI distinction Of the
divisions Of the Democracy:
To be a State Rights Democrat !. to
be an advocate of the Union, as ljnr as
the South is safe within il, and to hold in
reserve secession, rs the remedy, when
State sovereignty and the Constitution
are inadequate to the maintenance of
Southern Interests and the defence Of
Southern honor. To be Bisuuion Dem
ocra,, Is 20 deny the efficacy Of the Con.
tederacy, 10 abandon all hope of peace
and desire for fraternal friendship with
the North, and TO contend that separa
ton Of the slave and anti.slnve States is
to be wished and worked for earnestly and
induStrousIy by the people Of the South.
The one only asks that the Government
shall be administered impartially, as it
was originated and designed for The ben.
etit OF all parts and portions, Of each Stale
and secten Of our common country re.
monstrating against every indication OF
aggression upon the States, but unwilling
10 cry out for disuuion on account of
every imaginary grievance. The other
looks with an eye Of prejudice upon each
act Of the Federal Government, regards
with dstrust the protcstations, aye, the
manly acts Of our allies and friends at
the North, and is ever arguing, or rather
Iantingn 10 prove that the South is sacri.
ticing herself for the sake Of the Union,
that the Constitution is altogether annuil
ed, and that there is no security for slave.
ry eycebt in separation. The State Rights
Democrat is he who would raise the war
cry Of Southern secession, in such an
event AS the election OF Black Repub
llcan President, or the restoration of the
Missouri Compromise, but who sees AS
yet nothing to justify disruption of the
confederacy, and hopes for the perpetuity
OF the Union, by an unprejudiced and i'm
partial enforcement of the Constitution.
The DIsunion Democrat is he, who, reck-
less of consequences, and regardless Of
the fact that the government is still in
the hands Of able, honest and patriotic
men, that aboitionism has been beaten
again in its efforts to seize upon the reins
OF power, and that the South is still Sc
cure in her rights, would disseyer the
North and South 20 morrow, and find no
regret in the thought that in the burial
ground Of nations, the resting place Of
This Union would be marked by broken
column. The State Rights Democracy
are unwilling to abandon the Unioa yet.
But, while they hope to perpetuate it,
should the rights Of the South become
insecure in its keeping, they will not hesi.

KANSAS,

We find published in the Oh areston hIer-

Col Alpheus Baker from Gen. Atchison in
Kansas, in reference to the present aspect of
affairs 10 that Territory. Coming from
such source and having been written upon
the ground, the opinions and statements set
forth in these extracts may be relied up
on. Gen. Atchison is by no means dispos.

of making il slave State not altogether

lion submits the Constitution TO the whole
people of the Territory,it will be ratified.
