The Atlantic Telegraph Successful.

1t gives us pleasure to announce the success
of the Atlantic Telegraph enterprise. The ca
bic now connects the old and the new world
and the electric current can be sped at light
nings pace between the two hemispheres.-
This, the greatest enterprise of the age, has
been crowned with success. The following dis
patch received Thursday afternoon tells the
whole story:
To the Associated Press:
TRINITY BAY, Aug. ., 1853.
The Atlantic Telegraph fleet sailed from
Queenstown on Saturday, July IL, and arrived
at mid ocean Wednesday, the .2Sth, made the
splice at one o'clock p. NJ, and on Thursday,
the Doth, the fleet separated The Aqomemnon
and JdtorouS bound to Naentia, Ireland, and
the NSGgdnr and Gorgon for this place, where
they arrived yesterday, and this morning the
end of the cable will be landed The cable has
been paved out from the Agamemnon at about
the same speed as from the Niagara.
1t Is about 1893 nautical or / $50 statute miles
from the Telegraph House at the head of Val
entia Harbor to the Telegraph House Bay of
Bulls Arm, Trinity Bay, and for more than
two-thirds this distance the depth of the water
is more than two miles, The electrical signals
sent and received through the whole cable are
perfect. The machinery for paying out the
cable worked in the most satisfactory manner.
1t was not stopped for a single moment from
the time the splice was made until we arrived
here. Capt. Hudson, Messrs Everett and Mood
house, the engineers, electricians and officers of
the ships, and in fact every man on board the
telegraph fleet has exerted himself to the utmost
to make the expedition successful, and by the
blessing of Divine Providence it has succeeded.
After the end of the cable is landed and connoc-
ted with the land line of telegraph the Niagaro
will discharge her cargo belonging to the Allan
TIC Telegraph Company and will go to st Johns.
Newfoundland, for coal and then proceed to
New York. CYRUS W. FIELD.
Messages were Immediately sent to the Pres
ident and Queen Victoria informing them of
this successful result.

Pecuniary Condition of the Kansas
Settlers.

LAWRENCE X. T., July II, 1858.
To the Editor Of The Phonir.
DEAR SIR'-With your permission would like
to make short statement Of our pecunary affairs in
Kansas. In consequence of our political troubles,
and the short crops of last year. of our settlers
find themselves unable to pay for their claims with
out having recourse to loans For these loans very
large interest is demanded ranging from thirty to six
ty per cent This Is too muchthe rise in land prom
erty will not warrant any such per centage Now
know there is any amount Of capital in your vicinity
which might be obtained at fair rate, say from 10 to
20 per cent ifampe security could be given for the
loan. And this is tie point which wish in this COM
munlcaton to dwell upon. Here is a claim of one
hundred and sixty acres of as good land as can be
found in the world There is erected upon It a COM
Portable cabin and some improvements have been
commenced. Ten, twenty OR forty acres have been
fenced and broken. There is stock upon the farm
worth from two to five hundred dollars. Now this is
but description of thousands Of claims in this dis
trct, and is proposed to those who have the means
to send on warrant to of these really val
liable claims. 1t is not making investments in fancy
Stocks or entering upon uncertain speculations. 1t
is loaning money upon valuable property. The loan
Is made secure by mortgage of the one hundred and
sixty acres very little of which is worth less than five
dollars per acre. cannot for the life of me sec WHY
loan of one hundred and fifty dollars the price of
MS secure, every way, the loan with tho Sc
cury OF n first mortgage, would be on a farm worth
from five hundred to three thousand dollars in Yer

in abeyance During their allegiance the United

that her majesty's government should offer to
the United States plan for their consideration,
which should accomplish the putting down of
the slave trade without producing msunder-

government would give indiscriminate protec-

would give no material assistance to any meas

would be undesirable to attempt to remove the
distinction of caste. In the Commons, Lord
Stanley stated that between January and July

added that the government was well aware of
the importance of striking an effective and final
blow at the insurgents in the course of the en-
suing cold season.

qualification for the Republicans to have return
ed him to the Senate as a champion of their
faith. Nothing could have been more foolish,
nothing more suicidal. The Republican party
may have its allies, and act with them with the
best faith, but those who are on the roll of its
enemies 1t must treat as enemies. There is no
such thing as continuing in the ranks of the
Democratic party and yet having claim to Re-
publican friendship and support. The thing
is moral contradiction, and ought to be a po-
ltical impossibility.
The position which the Republicans of ILL
nois have assumed towards Senator Douglas
deserves general imitation. As the Republi-
cans there refuse to join in returning him to the
Senate, so ought the Republicans in every con-
gressonal district to refuse to return every
Congressman who still continues his allegiance
to the Democratic party. Wherever there is
a frank acknowledgment that the Democratic
party as now constituted, is not worthy of con-
fdence, and a plain declaration of purpose to
yield it no support hereafter, the CT derdnt
Democrats who resisted the English juggle
should be re-nominated and heartily sustained.
But II there be no remuneration of former ALE
glance, If there be no declared intention of
Withdrawing all support from party which has
made itself so completely subservient to the
demands of slavery extentionists, these men
should be left to look to their own party for
their reward. They have not the slightest
claim upon Republicans, and cannot faithfully
faithfully represent them. If elected by Re
publicans, they must be untrue either to them
selves or their supporters. No man has a right
to place himself in such false position; no
party has right thus to trife with its vital
principles. 1t is fit to concede to friend, but
to daily with an enemy is disgraceful."

We visited good portion of its field of opera

as giving description Of the destruction to
crops it caused corn, potatoes, English grain,
IN fact everything that the farmer raises was
completely cut down and destroyed. Some of
the principal sufferers are Mr. Otis Darling. Mr.
Adams, Stilman French, Peter Fuller, Mr.
Perry and Mr. Chomberlin, others may have
suffered somewhat but to what extent we arc
not aware. Mr. Fuller, who had some thirty
acres OF crops in most promising condition, Is
for harvest. Ills loss is severe.
Some of the hail stones, it is said, were the
size Of Il hens egg when they fell, and a quaint
ity which were scrapcd up on Friday morning,
some forty-two hours after they fell which we
saw, proved that the statement could not have
far from correct, as many at that time were near
