The Atlantic Telegraph and the Com
marciaT EevufSion

fhe AuanGe Telegraph and the Com
mercial ReVulsion.
The news of the failure of the first at
tempt to lay the ocean wire was one Of the
immediate causes of the great commercial
revulslon of 1857. There would of course
have been ''panic," as it IS absurdly
termed, even had the cable been safety laid
last year; but the news of its failure, coming
upon US at time of general pressure and
discouragement. was at least one of the
straWs that broke the oTerladen cameI's back;
ana we believe the sweep of bankruptcy
would have been far narrower and less disas-
trous had that first attempt of the Niagara
and Agamemnon succeeded. Everybody
was striving to bear mp against tide of mis-
fortune, when the news of the swapping OF
the Atlantic cable seemed to proclaim to anx-
ious struggling thousands. the hopelessness
of effort, the certainty that every dubious
investment must prove loss, every critical
enterprise a failure. It was thunderbolt
striking and shiyering the ship already
overmastered by the bowling storm. and the
frightened crew took at once to the boats.
May we not nationally hope that the, success
of this years final effort will exert moral
effect on business at least equal though OPP
posite to that of last years failure?-N Z.

CENSUS OF. CHINA AND PEKIH.-The
Russian mission now at Pekin has, in a re-
cent report, made known the result of the
late census, taken by order of the Empe-
ror of China. The present population is
said, by this document, to amount to 415.-
00O. .OO0-that of Pekin being I.648.8i4.
Pekin was. up to recent period, set down
by writers of geography as the most popu-
lous city in the world. hat it would appear
that it is but thirds as large a, Lon Ion,

Notice.

1t has been deemed advisable to choose
the delegates to the District Convention by
township instead of county Convention
The County Committee would rec ommend
that each township in the county choose
one delegate; except Emporia township,
which will choose two; and that the
meetings to choose them be held on the
same day, viz: Saturday, Sept. l1th.
1t is thought this plan will be more salts

Forest Hill-Junction of the Ne
OSho and Cottonwood Rivers.

oSho and Cottonwood Rivers.
FOREST HILL, with its numerous advan-
II tages, is now paramount TO all other places.
as 1t is situated the north side and near to the
Junction of the Neosho and Cottonwood Rivers.
The elevated position which the above named town
occupies, gives o commanding view of the eoun-
try all around, confirming the many fattering re
ports which have already been made by all trav-
elers, who constantly coming this way to fill
up the fertile valleys of the Neosho and Cotton
wood. The clear, cold water of the streams tells
well for the health and prosperity of the country.
The abundance of sand which the Neosho and
Cottonwood furnish, makes this location more de-
sirable than any one south of the Kanzas River.
Limestone and building stone of the very best
quality can readily be obtained in unlimited guam
titles with little or no expense Contracts are BE-
ing made for lime at the kiln for p cents per
bushel.
Two brick kilns are in successful operation, the
first and only yards of the kind in this section Of
country, and contracts are being made at six dol
lars per thousand. a steam saw mill, within .
stones throw of the town, is in active operation,
and contracts daily filed of the best quality of
lumber for S25 and $50 per thousand feet. 4 sec
ond Saw and Grist mill, large and extensive
scale, will be completed by the Messrs. Baker.
The Blacksmithing and Plow factory is being
carried on by Messrs. Stevenson Bunnel, who
are supplying the country with home manufaetur-
ed articles, thus preparing the way for the hus-
bandman to turn over the soil in order that part
Of the grassy plains may give way for the golden
grain Whlcn Will soon cover gn1s valley Ear ano
wide.
The large number of buildings which are al
ready under contract give full assurance that u
large town must soon spring up. Two Stores are
now prepared for trade. The vanguard of Emf
grants who have not as yet found home on this
fertile SOIL invited to to the rich Valley Of
the Neosho and share with those who are busy at
work building for themselves homes in the land Of
the west.
The most direct route and best road from Leav-
enworth and the Missouri river is by way of To-
peka where the emigraRt can cross the kanzas riy
er by the elegant and substantial bridge just 6n-
ished. the first and only bridge that river:
thence by way of Brownville, Wilmington and
Waterloo to Forest Hill, thus making direct and
good route to Eagle City, Shell Rock Falls, Verdi
girls and Walnut creek country.
The natural crossing which the Junction af-
fords, is of the many reasons why the south
ern emigration crosses this way. Preparations
being made for the speedy construction of good
Bridge at the Junction, for the better accommoda-
ton of the emigrant.
All those wishing for further information reia-
tive to the above named Forest Hill, direct to Col.

peka, or to the undersigned, at Forest Hill.

PoTT's SINGULAR DREAM.--On one occasion
the famous Dr. Pott had performed cohipli-
Gated and dangerous operation. He had seen
the patient three times during the day and
during the following night he dreamed that
the assistant at the hospital had forgotten to
administer particular medicine that he had
ordered, and from which he had anticipated
much good effect. He could not remain easy
whilst this impression was on his mind. He
rose from his bed, dressed, HIMSELF and in the
middle of the night, without disturbing any of
the family, went to the hospital. gained admis-
son had the house surgeon sumriioned to his
side, in order To satisfy himself that his lnstruc-
tions had been punetually obeyed. To his
great astonishment he found that his medicine
had not been exhibited! Pott always declared
that his dream hud saved his patients life
EIchange
II the doctors declaration was based upon
truth, we may reasonably conclude that if
Pott hadn't gone to the patient, the patient
would have gone to pot"
