Ey- The National HteHigtncsr thus specuates
over the first telegraphic dispatch received in
Washington from St. Johns, Newfoundland, the
connection having been completed through that
whole route
ave yesterday received, for the first time,
teegraphic dispatch from the Island of Newfound-
land. Through enterprise Of the New York, News
foundland aud London Telegraph Company, a cable
has been laid connecting Newfoundland with the
Island of Cape Breton and also another connecting
the latter island with NOVA Scotia This extension
of land and submarine lines connects at the wes-
tern border of Novia Scotia with the lines of the
American Telegraph Company, extending from that
point to the city of New York a distance of more
than seventeen hundred miles.
1.-THE dispatch received yesterday was sent from
St. Johns Newfoundland, at eleven o'clock and six
minutes and arrived in this city at ten o'clock and
fifty six minutes. The difference of time between
the Two places is somewhat less than an hour; but,
owing to the dsconnection Of the lines and the
of different instruments on the route by which the
message was transmitted, the dispatch required to
be rewritten six times on It's progress through six
independent telegraphic circuits which explains
the fact that the message arrived in this city only
ten minutes before il left Newfoundland
''The distance between Washington and the last
named place is but little short of two thousand
miles, and the ordinary time of travel between tie
two points by mail is but little less than month.
"This Newfoundland line, the reader will under
stand, is destined to form the western connection
of the Atlantic Submarine Telegraph, TO aid in the
construction Of which a bihas already been passed
by the Senate"

The American Question.

Some of the Democratic papers are felic-
itating themselves with the idea that the
American Party of Tennessee does not in
tend, in the coming canvass, to press the
distinctive principles of the Party. They
have never made greater mistake. 1t is
the purpose Of the American Party, if we
do not wrongly interpret the spirit now
prevalent, not to suffer itself to be turned
aside, by any inferior issue, from the dis
cussion of the great questions which gave
rise to it. The people of Tennessee have
not yet had an opportunity of rendering
their decision upon those questions separate
and apart from all others. 1t is not to be
believed that majority of them, in view
of all the acknowledged evils that flow out
of our system Of naturalization, are opposed
to any change, that they are willing,
whilst the tide of immigration continues
to flow in upon our shores, and to food
the free States with materials for making
abolitionists, to submit without an effort to
prevent the consequences. There are thou
sands Of voters, who, in the canvasses of
1856 and 1856, voted against the American
candidates, who admit that there is need
Of reform in our naturalization laws, and
are anxious that it should be made. They
have seen in the vote for Fremont start
ling evidences Of the dangers to the Union,
but particularly to Southern institutions,
that are caused by the growth of alien
sentiment and influences. and they are
too true, in their affection for their country,
not to desire to effect a radical change.
The recent discussions in Congress, and out
Of it, too plainly indicate that the country
is to have no peace if the Black Republi-
cans and Democratic agitators, can prevent
it. The war upon the South is to be con-
tinued, and every means and appliance
which our enemies can bring to bear against
us will be employed, to keep the fires of
sectional discord and hatred burning. In
view of these alarming signs, it is vitality
important that the South, so far as she is
able, should assist the conservative infu-
ence of the free States, to strike down all
extraneous aids and adjuYants of Black
Republicanism which can be reached. The
people Of Tennessee--the great majority
of them-must be fully satisfied Of the ne
cessity of decisive action, upon this subject,
if not now, at some early day. We be-
lieve the time for that action has arrived,
aud that the American Party can convince
all who doubt and are open to conviction,
that this is the case. We must, therefore,
in the canvass Of next spring and summer,
have a contest strictly upon the principles
of the American Party. An occasional
episode devoted TO topics Of Interest in
volying State policy, would not be impro-
per; but the leading object must be to get
a verdict dpon those principles. II the
policy is faithfully and theoretically pur-
sued, aud our friends all work together
harmOnioasly, who can doubt that victory

Howthe Pubic LANDS Go.

The Illinois Central Railroad Company ad-
yertise in the PloO, Loom and AnoiJ "about
two millions of acres of farming land, in tracts
of 40 acres and upward" at prices varying
from five to twenty-five dollars per acre, sac
cording to location, quality, &C." Upon this
fact the North Carolina Argus submits the
following just and practical observations. Our
contemporary, in view of the course of the
Democracy, in respect to the land question, as
serts that North Carolina Democrat is the
stupidest of all animals; but we venture TO
suggest that a Tennessee Democrat is the tough
est case of the two. but here is the article
from the Argus:
1.-THE land was donated to the company by
the general government to enable them to build
their road. They have built and equipped the
road out of the grant made, and have two
millions of acres left for sale. The road lie Sc
ven hundred miles long; and therefore, some
idea may be formed of the extent to which
they have been allowed to cut into the public
domain Their road we say is built and equip.
ped, and they have lands enough left to bring
them thirty millions of dollars over and above
the cost OF the road; for two millions of acres
at prices ranging from five to twenty-five dols
lars per acre, will average fifteen dollars per
acre.
s'This. then, is what Democracy has done
for Illinois; while the same just, glorious and
immaculate Democracy refused to give to poor
old lazy truculent North Carolina enough of
the public domain to buy q pair of half soles
for her brogans. Yet the leaders of the party
tell their blind and deluded followers that it is
unconstitutional to give away the public lands,
or let the old States have an acre to build
roads Docs the history Of mankind furnish
evidence of the existence of any other such
party from the creation of the world to the
present day1 Why brute that wants discourse
of reason could hardly be so stupid as q North
Carolina Democrat. Spivy's hogs, which
came up for him to whip them with hickory
for the purpose of making them root, were ra-
tional and intelligent animals compared with
North Carolina Democrat. We want roads;
we want locks and dams on our streams of
water; we want facilities for getting to.mar-
ket; aud our people are thronging to the CAPT.
tol to importuns the Legislature for aid to en-
able them to complete their improvements
aid which they we'll know cannot be granted
without taxing themselves and all others
heavily, and more heavily. Yet the controll-
ing party in the South shout for the men who
give away the national domain by millions of
acres at a time to build up other States and
construct roads for fat corporations, while -
0 mirabile dictu they declare it unconstitu'
tional for them to take an acre to build their
own roads, oraid the development of their own
resources Is not the idea of being ruled by
such a set of oharlatans enough to make a man

land where the majority have more senss9"

@GarroIIng.O

A system of street robbery has been intro.
duced into New York which has alarmed the
good people of that metropolis in an excessive
degree. The originators of the new style are
said TO be a company of accomplished seoun
drels fresh from the great cities of Europe,
principally from London. Solitary getlemen
walking at night in the streets are attacked by
gangs of the garroters, and robbed. One of
the company Of robbers usually walks in lie
same direction with the purposed victim, and
oyertaking him, knocks him senseless by
blow on the back of the head, and as he falls
sezes him by the throat, and by suffocalion
prevents the possibility of cries for assistance,
while an aceompice of the attacking party
searches for yaluabes. An astonishing um-
Der of cases of this kind have occurred. Lists
of "Garrote" operations appear in t he papers
every morning. A panic has seized upon the
citizens and the trade in firearms, and other
implements of self defence, is brisk beyond
precedent. The police appear powerless to
deal with the 'garroters," and there is q mys.
terry about the matter that excites the inagi-
nation. The citizens of New York are asking
themselves whether there is really no protee-
ton Cor their lives and property on their side
walks aud az their doors, from the InnrderoGs
attacks OF gangs OF aga5onds-whether the
enormous taxation under which they groaR,
is indeed thrown away so far as purposes of Sc
ourity OF locono;ion about the streets is eons
cerned.- Gin. Com.
