THE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH.

LOUISVILLE Aug. 6.-The publication
of the dispatch from Trinity Bay, that an
electric current had been established
across the Atlantic, struck the people like
a clap Of thunder out of a clear sky. In
view of the previous experiments, they
had consigned the Atlantic Telegraph to
the category of impossibilities. They
were first astonished and incredulous, but
recovering ftom'their surprise, admitted
the fact, and enthusiastically specula'ed
on the benefcen! consequences of the en-
,erprise. Not few supposing that Bu-
chanan and Victoria hindered the recep'
lion of European intelligence by want oI
promptness in exchanging telegraphlc
salutaiions voted them fogies, quite toe
slow for this las! age. and are now in
fever of excitement for few words from
the other side Of the ocean. They have
now 70 o'clock P. N.Y. concluded 10 wal
till Tomorrow morAing, but moi moment
longer. The telegraph officers and ope
ratols partake Of the genera! excitement
and the telegraph Office shows constel
lation of beams from its windows.

tonians are crowding around WALKER, and the last
The Panama Star states, that it is reported
! that Walker shed tears when he hauled down his
flag on surrendering to the United States forces.
1t states furth er that the Captain of the Bruns-
wick expressed his intention of dislodging Walker,
if the United States Commodore did not do so,
and that Walker and his men had resolved to fight
to the death before surrendering to the British,
though they had determined to yield to the United
States authorities 4 mine was laid with oil the
spare ammunition, md the British were to be
blown to eternity. Walker was well provlsioned,
and had plenty of munitions Of war. Among the
prisoners brought down the river on the steamer,
were two deserters, who would have been shot
had not Walker been compelled to surrender. Col.
Anderson commanded the party Mt Fort Castillo.
! It's understood here, says New York paper,
that l1ennngsen, with the artillery, and Colonel
J. P. Waters, with battalion of Texas men, were
to have left the shores of the United States for Nj
caragua Immediately on news being received OF
Walkers successful landing AS the news OF Capt.
Chatard's non-interference must have reached the
States nearly, if not quite, fortnight before in
tellgence of Walkers capture, il is thought that
one of these expeditions may get away before get
ting the last news. If it does, there is not the
least doubt aboutits being taken by either the Sus-
quehanna or Fulton, as both have received the
commands of the Commodore to that effect

be well to state that many reasons were apparent
to warrant belief in the sailing Of reinforcement
to his army in the Star of the West on Monday

Nicaragua assures us that he recognized among
the passengers many faces well known to him as
leading supporters of Walkers cause-men who
had been members of his former army.

KANSAS.

This territory occupies q peculiar position
The frce-sol party claiming to ein the ascendant,
have suffered the pro-savery clause to be engraft-
ed on the constitution. The present prospects
indicate another Kansas war. The following, dated
St. Louis, Dec S0th, gives quieta gloomy picture
of existing affairs:
Kansas dates to the oath, received by the Demo-
crat, say that civil war is raging in Bourbon
county. Several conflicts have occuered between
the free State and pro-slqvery men, and number
of prisoners have been taken on both sides. The
United States marshal, with force of gu men,
demanded the surrender of the Free State party,
but the demand was answered by a volleyo mus
ket balls The fire was returned, and the fight
lasted for an hour, when the pro slavery men re-
treated, with the loss of one killed and two
mortally wounded. The marshal was dangerous
ly injured.
General Lane was entrenched at Sugar Mount,
and was determined to fight the dragons if at,
tackled a battle was regarded rs inevitable.
Exciting debates had occurred in the Lawrence
Free State Convention. The committee on rcso'
lutions had presented three reports. The MAORI
ty report recommends the nomination of full
State ticket, and the second recommends par
ticipation in the election for the purpose Of des-
troying the Lecompton constitution. That no
man be nominated who refuses to pledge himself
to crush it. That the Topeka constitution be
submitted to the people, and that loyalty to that
instrument be made the test of fealty to the Free
State party. That the Legislature repeal the
present code of laws, &c. The most radical
revolutionary speeches were made.
Gen. Denver had given up the territorial arms
to the military. Various rumors were in circula'
tion relative to Fort Scott, but none of an authen
| tic character.

the Diplomatic corps, bedizened like many lack
eys, and with due "diplomatic grimace," open the
performances of the day by paying their respects
to the President. The diplomatic corps here are
generally poor set. 1t is fact not very crafty.
ing to our people, but nevertheless, it is true,
Washington is not considered desirable Court by
foreigners 1t is rather an exile than distinc-
ton hence, of all the foreign representatives here,
there is not one man above mediocrity, and some
like sARTIGE, absolutely ridculous~ Lord Ma
PIER of whom so much fuss has been made, is not
man of any mark. The highest position held
by him before coming here was Secretary Of Lega-
ton at Constantinople. He is o we'll behaved
gentleman. No more.
Gen. WALKER is still here. He is the stillest,
calmest being imaginable; but under this quiet
exterior you see the most indomitable will. He
is not at oil cast down, but is sanguine of success
If he had had the slightest idea that PAuLrING
would have interfered with him, he would have
gone up the river on his arrival at San Juan, but
be remained at Punn Arenas through profound
stroke of policy, to impress on the Nicaraguans
and Costa Rcans, the idea that the Government
of the United States secretly sympathsed with
him. This bold policy unfortunately miscarried'
because he had an old fogy and fool to deal with
in the person of the American Commander. It's
now said on good authority, that the Admlnlstra-
ton will call him off, by authorizing him to take
Gen. LAMAR, our new Minister, from Aspinwall to
San Juan, then to return to the United States
This is too tame course. Unfortunately, Mr.
BUCHANAN has weak and tcmporisng Cabinet
He has no man around him, whose voice is any
thing else but an echo of his own.
