WANTS HER TO CONE OvER.-The New
York Herald grows delirious over the Allan
tic Cable success. In the exuberaEce Of his
Joy the editor tenders Queen Victoria nm in
yitaton TO visit New York at once-says if
she will come he will show her all the insti-
tutions Of the Empire City, and among them
the institution of the Herald, and that they'll
have a main time generally. Should her Ma
jesty accept old Fussy's invitation, we hope
she'll extend her visit to Athens, and we'll
show her all tne Institutions here, and the nsli-
tuition of The Post the Female College, new
Jail, Cumberland Church, and so forth and
so Onto say nothing of the suburban viii
lage of Knoxville, view of which by moon
light would come mighty nigh compensuting
for the whole trip. Let Mrs. Cobourg come
by all means and save the New York editor
from the lunatic asylum.
The following is the Herald's concluding
paragraph:
"But, whether our intercourse with her
or not, we have the great living fact before
us that her doIniniOns are joined TO ours by
bonds stronger than iron. With the trans
mission of her friendly greeting all doubts
ard misgivings have vanished. The Atlantic
telegraph is fixed fact, and we will soon
see submarine cables laid from point TO point
throughout the entire globe. In this age of
invention there will be no want of electrical
machinery equal TO every thing which may be
required of il, and before another year or
two have elapsed we shall behold teegraphic
lines, bearing the thoughts Of men in all
quarters of the world upon their wings of
lightning, spanning the earth-through the
air and beneath the waters--to the incacu-
liable benefit and ameoration of the whole
human race; and to the two nations which,
in laying the foundation Of the scheme of
which this is to be the glorious consumma-
ton, have conquered the elements, bent Sci
ence to their will, and commanded a success
unparalleled, to them will belong all the hon
or, and we doub, not the largest share of the
benefits of the victory"

cured some months since at Poughkeepsie.

remains of deceased person as those of her
sister, and on the strength of which young
man was arrested for murder, but in which
case suspension was averted by the appear
anee of the supposed murdered girl-has oe-
Cured at Joliet, Ill.
The BODY of a female was found in a ravine
near Joliet; a farmer testified to the finding
of bloody clothes near the spot; four families
testified TO the hearing of screams from the
rayine on the night of the supposed murder,
and that the cries were those of a female;
woman named Cook recognized the body as
that of her daughter-who was missed on the
night of those screams, and knew it was her
daughter because one Of her front teeth was
gone; she also testified to improper intimacy
between her daughter and Mr.. Richardson,
and he was arrested for the murder, aud some
three hundred men were about taking the
lynch law into their own hands to hang Rich
ardson, fearing that justice would not be done
by n regular jury.
The girl was found in Chicago, and pro-
duced in Joliet. The body was finally proven
to be that of an elderly grayhaired lady, who
died natural death, and whose body was
disinterred for dissection. The girl is only
eighteen years of age.

REPORT OF THE INVESTIGATING COMMIT
TRE.-'rhe Nashville papers come to Us
freighted with the Report Of the Committee
appointed by the last Legislature TO inquire
into the alleged frauds connected with the
Exchange Bank Bonds, and other matters
pertaining to the financial interests of the

that the Report, with all the testimony, is to
be published in pamphlet form for gen.
eral circulation. We will give our readers

TRuE.-Every day we live, says an ex-
change, we are more than ever convinced that
nine tcn,hs of the misfortnnes which attend
humanity are sef.inAicted. People jump of
railroad cars while in motion; 60 bathing in
deep water when they cannot swim; imbibe
splrituous liquors and meet with accidents;
expose themselves regardless of prudence,
and suffer all manner Of most evi conse-
quences, which little forethought would in
most cases have averted. People know very
vol that violation of the common law in
wolves penalty, and yet utterly ignore the
fact that nature is much more inexorable than
the legislature, and Waits with corresponding
punlshments every transgresson of her laws.

KANSAS AMONG THE SOUTHERN ULrRAs.

KANSAS AMONG THE SOUTHERN ULTRAs.
The Macon (Ga.) State Press says that if
Kansas should snake application at the en-
suing session Of Congress, with an anti
slavery constitution, and be admitted into
the Union without the requisite population,
(93,340,) the South will have submitted to
the last indignity which treactery and fanat-
icism can fling at her. Her spirit will be
broken, and her position in the Union ms
subjugated province will have been compet-
ed" This is, indeed, very gloomy view of
the case. But how is ii to be mended! De-
clare that Kansas shall not come into the
Union until she has the requisite population,
and at the next session she will have il; and
besides that, the anti-savery spirit of the
North, which is settling down to a dead
calm, will be reused up again with increased
intensity. In short, "what can't be cured
must be endured" and, as Kansas is lost be-
yond every possibility of recovery BY the
South, near or remote, the sooner she is ad-
mitted rs free State tho better it will be
for the South and MI concerned 1t is all
ronsense now to talk of "the last indignty
of fanaicsm and treachery." The ultras of
the South have lost the prize by an over
whelming majority of popular sovereignty"
they will have to swallow the dose, and they
ought to do It gracefully. Let 'em shut their
eyes and gulph it down.
