SCENES IN NEW YORK.
[ From the Tribune Of .sat,rdeu mornin0


In this city, of course there was much excitement
yesterday, and no little dissatisfaction at the
arrival of confirmatory dispatches. This silence
was deemed ominOus by many, and some persons
were certain that the whole story was a hoax.
There great deal of talk, but no general pub
licdemonstratiOn. Flags were displayed from some
of the public buildings.
The Mayor announced at l = o'clock, Yesterday
that when he should receive a dispatch confirminG
the other end at Valcnta Bay, he would cause one
hundred guns to be fired in the Park in honor of the
event, and to apprise the citizens that the great re-
suit had been successfully achieved.
The Telegraph Building, No. 81 Wall street, pre-
sented gay appearance last night, forty-two VIM

with between tive and six hundred lights, while
across the street. were stretched the flags of the

permission of Commodore Kearney Commandant

bunting will be increased to thirtyone flags Of diff

THE HoNORs OF THE DISCOVERY.


The discovery of the galvanic current, to which
we owe the thrill of delight of Yesterday, is un-
doubtedly European; that form of the discovery OF
its magnetic power, to which also owe the thrill
OF delight of yesterday, is undoubtedly American.
The of these discoveries is as essential to the
Atlantic Telegraph as the other.
But, in this case, we may add what is more re-
markable, that the great invention of Prof Morse,
by which he so united Volta's electric current and
Henry's admirable use of it, that nation can com
muncate instantaneous Y with nation, is in strict
ness neither European nor American, but an allan
TIC invention. 1t was on packet ship, on the bosom
of the Atlantic ocean, nearly thirty years ago.
that Morse first formed and then carried into detail
the grand conception, whose grandest result is to-
day buried, in its majestic activity, beneath that
Atlantc's waves.
1t is impossible to conceive the excitement which
must have thrilled every heart on board the Mag
ara as she approached the land on Wednesday, Af-
ter so many disappointments, every hour of con-
tinued success must have made the anxiety
more and more intense. And at the last, not John
Cabot himself, when he first those very cliffs
of % New Found Land" from the sea- and
gave them and North America to England as
he he saw them, can have felt the high wrought
gratitude and eXutation of those who united
i'll the enjoyment of this great victory. One
felt that triumph who deserved all that
he enjoyed. Mr. Field is the man to whose un-
firing zeal this special success, we owe it
to no other. Most great advances in the civiliZa-
tiOn of the world have alike history. They come
because some one man, whose name Is Columbus or
Franklin or Washington or Watt determines that
the world shall gain step forward. He will die
rather than have it fail To the little list of such
determined men Mr.. Fields name is to be added
He did not invent the telegraph. He did not first
suggest the Atlantic Telegraph. But he first de-
termined that it should be. lie seems to have
pledged life, fortune and honor that it should be-
To-day it is. And it is-because he made that
pledge and determination.

Militia, Lawrence, February l6, 1858" and also commission issued by the same individual appointing $. J Willis "enrolling officer of Kansas territory" All these acts are illegal without authority of law, and on the part of "J. H. Lane" usurpaton ot power The 2O,h section oi the organic act declares that "the Governor shall reside within said territory, and shall be commander- chief of the militia there. oi, and shall commission all officers who shall be appointed to office under the laws of said territory"
 There IS no power in the territory that can deprive the Governor of the authority thus vest ed n hlm, and he alone can fix the head d-luar- tsrs of the Kansas militia. There is no law of Congress, and consequently there can be none of the territory, authorizing J. H. Lane, to is- sue nor has any commission been issued to him.
 It affords me great pleasure to congratulate the people on the restoration of peace in the territory, and 1 caution them against encourag lns or countenanciug these nsidious attempts to renew the faculties and troubles which have too long held sway here. The effort seems to be to Induce persons to engage in this business unter promise to pay them five dollars per day. not one cent of which will ever be realized What bnt trouble can ensue if one turbulent ma' Is thus allowed to set up military dictator ship over the civil authority. and sluander the public money at pleasure? l trust the good sense of the people will induce them to frown down all such illegal and improper movements

Mount Holly Cemeer7.


 Few towns of the size of Little Rock have a rural cemetery superior to this; and ln even the longest settled and most dersely peopled parts of the east or north, t would be difficult to point out one in which there is greater pro- portion of well built monuments. Yet this burial ground is susceptible of improvement, and it would be greatly improved, if a better kind of grass were substituted for that which at present intests it. "Infests" is a strong word, but we cannot at the present moment, hit upon another that will exactly express our meaning.
 Another great improvement would be he re- moval of the brick and wooden enclosures of some of the lots. They obstruct the view of the monuments. In most of the Atlantic States wooden fences around rural cemeteries of the lots are strictly prohibited, and when made of iron they are not permitted to be more than three feet high. In Oakhill Cemetery, Georgetown adjoining Washington City, the most costly and highly improved ground in the country, all enclosures of private lots, even of iron, are strictly prohibited
 Some of the private lots in Mount Holly Cemetery have too much shrubberry in them: but this is a fault common to rural cemeteries throughout the country.
 On one border of the cemetery, we perceive that some attempts have been made to erect a vault above ground. The design has now been abandoned, and we hope it will not be resumed. h a warm climate, sepulchres above ground are c nuisance
 Would it not be well for the holders of lots in Mount Holly Cemetery to meet and take such measures as in their power, if not for the improvement of the grounds to prevent it's be- ing further deformed by the erection of addi- tional new wooden and brick fences around private lots? One good enclosure for the whole ground is all that is necessary.
 Before closing this notice of Mount Holly Cemetery, it may not be amiss to observe, for the information of persons at a distance, that it differs in one important point from the chief rural cemeteries of the north and east. and that is, in its having place for the poor man as we'll as the rich, for the black man as well as the white Thus far, at least, all distinctions are obllterated by death at Little Rock. Philade- phia has been called the earthly Paradise of free blacks But church yard, or rural cemetery in Philadelphia, would be regarded as almost desecrated if the body of black man were in tered within its bounds In Little Rock one common earth receives the remains of both master and servant.
