AT moment when least expected
when all hope had been given up, and
the Atlantic Telegraph enterprise had
come to be considered present inpos-
sibility, the news Of its successful COM
pletion suddenly reached US.
Ten days elapsed after the
Niagara arrived at Trinity Bay,
with its end of the cable-ten days
after the people had been startled with
the thrilling intelligence that two
worlds-the old and the new-were
united, and still no dispatch was trans
mitted through the wire-the artery
was there, but no blood coursed
through its channels.
Again the public heart sank-again
dark forebodings filled the public heart
and whispers of the uselessness of the
cable after it had been laid began to
to float about among the people. Sa-
vans argued among themselves, and
knowing members of the p,ess darkly
limited that no machine could be made
sufficiently powerful to overcome the
difficulties of sending message along
the wires. But now all difficulties
are at an end-all doubts are Danish.
ed-the cable has teen laid, and the
first message has been transmitted
The practicability has been established
and if the cable should part tomorrow
the achievement would be none the less
and not a ray of lustre will be with
drawn from the glory which has been
gained for science, for art and for civil
lization
1t is but meet that an occasion like
this should be celebrated with sounds
of general JOY and acclamatlon-tha,
the bells in the spires of our churches
should hail the establishment of band
OF peace among the nations, and thai
the loud booming cannon should an
nounce the exultation of America up
on the part which she has borne il
bringing about this glorious result. Ii
the words of the reply of the Presi
dent to the message Of the Queen o
England !:
May the Atlantic telegraph, under tn
blessings of Heaven, prove to be a bond o
Perpetual peace and friendship betw cen tn,
kindred nations, aid an instrument destine,
10y divine Providence to dffuse re-
llgIon, Civilization, Liberty and Law
throughout the world.

EDITORS Gentlemen -Presum-
ing that You would like to hear of the pro-
gress of the campaign between Judge LEI
t'ngwell, the Little Giant of Iowa, and the
celebrated Surveyor, VIM. Vandiver. Esq.
| take the liberty of posting you up in their
movements in this vicinity
Mr. Vandever opened the discussion,
and for an hour related his stale nggerisms
and Interpretations OF the bred Scott de-
clsion, and the Democratic party. As usual
clared that the Constitution carried Slavery
into all the Terrtories that the Dem
ocratic party had endorsed the bred Scott
decision and ergo were in favor of extending
the area of slavery and of planting slavery
in all the Territories. This was the burden
of his song.
After the expiration of an hour, Judge LEI
fingwell spoke for an hour ard half ma
king one Of the most brilliant speeches to
which have had the pleasure of listening
since have lived in the State Of Iowa. He
took Mr.. Vandever's bull by the horn (his
version of bred Scott tore the horns from
his head split his jaws in scriptural style,
broke his back and legs, and ended by dis
embowlng him. The bull was poor Vans
only argument With it he received, and
charged in style that would have made
Herr Driesbach laugh But Judge LET
fingwell slaughtered him. He proved con-
clusively that there is nothing in the bred
Scott decision. which is antagonistic to the
Democratic doctrine of popular sover-
eighty.
Poor Van is emphatically used up man
in old Benton. Pour the hot shot iuto him
and he will give up the field in six weeks
time That is the period it takes to ripen
and Van will be freed before ever that time
rolls around.
Yours truly and fraternally.

Our latest dates from Salt Lake are
to the 18th Of July, at which time the
city had resumed its wonted aspect,
nearly all the refugees having returned
to their homes and the pursuit OF their
ayocations. An investigation of the
Territorial Library had confirmed the
suspicion that the Mormon leaders fall
sified when they declared that the
books remained undisturbed. A large
portion of the law books formerly con-
tanned in the Library have disappear
ed. The Mormons preserved the sem
blance OF peace at last advlces, but
their hatred of the Gentle Eruption
was manifested in various unpleasant
ways. The latest accounts from the
Army Indicate that the forces are in
good condition, enjoying comfortable
quarters.
The fortunes of Zuloaga, the Mexi-
can President appear to be rapidly on
the wane. Later advices received at
New Orleans state that he had aban-

final w 1.-THE Governor prosecute him.
Our neighbors Of the Gazette some
time since furnished long letter from
Martin l.. Morris, Republican State
Treasurer, defending himself from the
charge of having illegally and improp-
erly directed one hundred and ten thou
sand dollars OF the peoples money.
The strictly honest Treasurer places
his defence entirely upon the fact that
this sum of one hundred and ten thou
sand dollars which was reported by the
investigating committee to be missing
from the Treasury, had been deposited
with various banking friends of his
throughout the State ''for the conve-
nience Ct making payments" ETC., as
he claims it, and for the purpose Of
making interest on it, as all reasonable
men assert. Over this defence, consid-
ering it entirely conclusive, the Gazette
has been for some days engaged in
licking its chops, laughing in its sleeve
and chuckling to itself, confident that
at last it had been able to place non
sequiter upon the "vile ISLANDERS" of the
Democratic Press. In considering this
question it may not be entirely mop
perfume, before we admit ourselves ut
tcrly extinguished by the letter of the
Treasurer, to examine the law with
reference to the right of the State
Treasurer to deposit the monies of the
State with various remote and obscure
banking firms, to the injury of those
|, who hold the warrants of the Treas
urer.
The law is as follows:
