The preIaent. Letter to Victoria.

Mr.. Buchanan does not seem To succeed
better in writing TO foreign sovereigns than
10 the American sovereigns. He concludes
his letter 10 The Queen with an inquirey,
which compclls her to reply to him, or be
guilty Of rudcnoss; a position in which he
had no right to place any lady, and leas
of all, one who by sorce Of circumstances
was constrained TO initiate the correspon-
dcnce. But this is not the crowning sot.
tise of the performance. He says:
"In this view will not all nations Of Chris
tendon spontaneously unite in the declara-
ton thar it shall be forever neutral, and
that its communications shall be held ga
c. ed in passing TO their destination, even
in the midst of hnstilities 7"
This is a tolcrahle cool proposal, consid-
cring that the telegraph line terminates at
both ends of the Queens territory, and no
other nation in the world has anything
to DO with it. II would be very pretty
thing for the Queen to propose, at prop
or time and place; but il comes from Blu.
chanau with about as much propriely as a
proposal, Immediately after the next Presi-
Dental election, to divide the Offices OF
the general government equally between
Buchaniers and Republicans.
If the Queen were wag-perhaps she
is--shc might reply to her translantic in-
terogation point in this wise: "Cerlairly,
we will make the line neutral all the way
from ireland to the Gulf of Mexico, and its
communications shall he held sacred IN pas
sing to their places of destination, even III
the midst of hostlities."
What an wer could the President make
to this, except that he had nothing to say
about the inland lines, thus practically all
hitting that he had deliberately asked OF
England favor which he could not re.
cprocaic if he would, and which everybody
knc ws he would not if he couldg
And then to make such request al
such an unreasonable time!
Should Mr.. Buchanan have occasion tC
write again to the Queen, we beg him tc
mark lis communication confidential.

Some Very Rich Financial Operations by
the Administration.

One of the most striking features Of
Senator Trumbull's speech at Chicago is
its crushing expose Of the profigate cxpen
diture of the present National Administra
tion, which, as we have repeatedly shown
from official sources, exl ended during tho
pa9t year one hundred millions Of do lars!
a pro rata Of 50 % for each individual ac-
cording to the population. But we do not
intend to 90 over the whole ground again.
1t is now our object to call attention to
some remarkable Custom House statistics: +:
In Chicago for instance. Under Fillmore's
administration in 1852 there was collected
at the Custom House $ll1,s0s SO, and
six men who were paid $2,s92 IL werc
employed to COLLECT it. For the year end
ing June 80, 1856, there was collected at
tho same place Sl45,662 40, and sixteen
men were employed to collect it, and paid
for their services Sl4, 4,349 ga cost Ct ten
per cent. now, for what was done four years
ago for two per cent.
Mr.. Trdmbul further stated that there
were some POINTS where the expenditure
for collecting the rev.nuc were much worse
than Chicago and he enumerated the fol-
Ivwiuy instances. AZ w wilmington, DCIa-
ware, there was collected in 1857 $1,000
95, and it took eight men, at an expense
of sl5,s4S 80 to COLI ct it, At Aunapo.
Is. M, there was collected the Same
year 1914 25. aud it took four men, at an
expense of S0s3 ~ to collect that sum.
At Ocracokc, in North Carolina. in 1857
$50 So were collected. To perform this
great financial achievement ssye" me" 1cer'
cDJ '9ycd qt an expense Of sl,301 52!-
At Port Oxford, Oregon, there was col
ected in the same year S. So, at an cx
pcnse to the government Of S2,723 O9
and two men employed to do the work.
At Monterey, California, the amount col
lcctcd in 1857 was S45 %, three mer
were employed to collect it, and paid 70
doing il S7.O5O 95. At Buffqlo, there
was collected, il 1857, $lo.l4o SO. Il
collect tbs ten men were employed, ant
paid $40 .S95 81 for their services.
Astonishing as these statement are, the.
are simply transcript of certain items il
the official report Of the Secretary Of th
Treasury, in answer to resolution of tn
Senate, call upon him for information a
to how many employees he hal at the dit
forcut Gus ON Houses, how much no pal
them, AMI how much he co lected. Mr.
Buchanan it appears only follows and in
tcn>if.s the disg'accfnl example of 'Poc
Pierce who, according to Mr. Trumbul
added more than three hundred clerks
the Custom House in New York alone.-
If the democratic party should have col
trol of the country another four years,
should be compelled to sell out the coul
try to keep down the interest on the put
lie debt. No wonder the present admin
tration has to borrow money TO meet e.
penses, when it in so many instances CO
lects its revenue at an actual loss.

Slavery or Nothing.

Estates should be permitted to choose
between slavery and freedom" is the ar
gumont which has covered with the SEM
6lance of justice the acts Of the party at
last defeated in their attempts to force a
disagreeable constitution on the people of
Kansas.
1t appears from speech Of the Hon. w.
w. Boyce, at Yorkvile, s. c., few days
ago, as it appeared last spring from the
land bribe inserted in the English BILL
that not between slavery and freedom, but
between slavery or nothing, Kansas was to
have its choice. Mr.. Boyce said:
"Kansas has voted upon this land FRO
position. and refuses to accept the terms
offered, and therefore remains out Of the
Union. This conclusively establishes tho
fact that Kansas is ultra anti-slavery.- =
This being the case, the best thing for III
is for her to stay out Of the Union. He
coming in would only give an accession o
strength 10 our enemies. If she sEoulC
stay out forever, oil the better"

HILLsDALE, MICH, TUESDAY, SEPT Z, 1863
our State ia known.

our State in known.
In cularging, improving, and adapting
the State Prison to the growing necessities
OF the State, the Republicans have ex-
pended about $65,0o0.
In completing our Asylums for Deaf,
Dumb, and Blind, and Insane, the Re-
publicans have exper ded in three years,
exclusive Of the present, $l50,35o IL.
Ia thrco years, with constantly di.
minishing revenue resulting from we'll
known causes, the Republicans, besides
paying the interest on the State debt, and
almost quarter Of million of its principal,
have expended on the public buildings Of
the State which at once mark the progress,
civilization, and refinement, very nearly
half million Of dollars. There is where
the public funds have gone. Is there an
intelligent citizen of Michigan who will
say they have not seen prudently and pro-
perly discussed?
We will not extend our list at this time,
although we might easily do so, and will
have frequent future occasion to do so. II
is real pleasure to us TO give an account
of the stewardship of the Republican par
ty. 1t has done nothing it is ashamed Of
nothing which will not after the amplest
pub ic scrutiny merit appreciation. The
facts that we have given to-day are but
nero skeletons. On former occasion we
gave the "details with great amplitude and
so clearly that every sensible man could
understand. Let no one then say that in
what we have written we deal in mere as.
sertion, for we have proved by the public
records by democratic authority ali we
have said. and we can do ii again, and i
disputed, will do it again. In the mean
time we ask the people, if even on this
mcagre exhibition, the Republican party
does not deserve their suffrages.

Curious PREA oNIrIoN OF THE TELE

Curious PREA oNIrIoN OF THE TELE-
oRApu.-In Addison's Spectator, printed
l4o years ago, is the following account o:
discovery in magnetic communication,
said t, have been made $50 years before.
1t has the mark of myth, but curiously
foresbadows the present reality, like some
vague prophecy:
estrada, an Italian Jesuit, in one Of
his 'Prolusincs,' gives an account of a cor
respondence between two friends, by the
holp Of certain loadstone, of such virtue
that if il touched two needles, when one
of the needles 50 touched began to move,
the other at distance, moved at the
at the same time and in the same man
ner. The two friends being each possessed
of one of these needles, made dial plate
inscribed twenty.f,ur letters upon it. They
then fixed one Of the needles on each of
these plates so that il could not move a
round without impediment. After sepera-
ting from one another one hundred miles,
they were to communicate and test their
invention by directing the needle to the let
ter required; the other at the same mo
ment saw his own sympathetic needle NOV
ing Of itself at every lsttcr which that o.
his correspondent pointed at. By th'
means they conversed across whole CONT
nent, and conveyed their thoughts to one
another in An instant, over cities or noun
tains, seas or deserts"

TERRIFIC MIDNIGHT SrRUaaLE-A Bur-
CLAIR RtLLEp The following account Of
terrific midnight struggle with burglar, ia
s, singular that we transfer it to our col
umns The facts appear in the Cleveland
Herald, of Friday:
Last night, shortly after midnight, Mr..
Cooper, residing on La'ie street, short
distance beyond the Marine Hospital, was
disturbed by a noise on the stairs as of
some one cautiously creeping up. Quietly
slipping out Of bed, Mr.. Cooper picked up
a heavy book that lay on tho table, and,
softly ensconsing himself behind the bed.
room door, awaited the approach Of the
intruder. After stopping on the landing
to listen few seconds, the robber appear
ed in the door way, hen the moonlight
showed him to be big, bearded, dark
complcxioued fellow, evidently bent on
mischief. Mr.. Cooper flung the book at
the robbers head with such violence that
the desperate was knocked over, but, i'm
mediately reganing his feet, rushed down

robber fed to the kitchen, closely followed
by Mr.. Cooper, who picked up the poker,
closed the Doors and prepared for pitch
battle. A fierce struggle commenced and
lasted for considerable time, Mr.. Cooper
striking the robber with the poker, and
the robber attempting to use his keen
weapons in defense. At last well-direct-
ed blow laid the desperado's skull open.
and, with faint cry he fell, and, after
few convulsive struggles, expired

Tho Herald concludes lis account by
saying that the body of tho thief was

all the next day. and WAS fually picked

FArTENINe TURKEYs.-The alimentary
properties of charcoal are very great; in
deed it has been asserted that domestic
fowls may be fattened on it without any
other food. and that too, in shorter time
than on the most nutritious grams. ln an
experiment made to test the value of the
article, four turkeys were taken and con.
fined in pen, and fed on meal, boiled
potaloes and oats. -Four others Of the
same brood were also confined at the same
time, in another pen, and fed daily on the
same articles, but with one pint OF very
finely pulvcrsed charcoal mixcd with their
potatoes and meal; they had also a plenti-
ful supply Of roken charcoal in their pen
The eight were killed on the same day
and there was difference of one and a
half pounds each, in favor of tho fowls
which had been supplied with charcoal
they being much the fatter and the mea,
greatly superior in point of tenderness and
flavor. This would appear TO establish
beyond doubt, tho benefit Of charcoal fo'
fa tening purposes.
