IT is amusing to witness the efforts of the
different journals in the country to force the
enormous message into the smallest possible
space. The most successful effort we have no.
ticed in this respect, is made by the Philadel-
pbia Ledger, which printed the Message in agate
type, and brings it within seven columns. In
Illinois, it is said, the President has no organ
large enough to hold his message

IT has become a regular business, with certain
classes of young men belonging to needy and
fashionable families in Europe, as well as to
some of better class, to obtain an introduction
to American heiresses travelling in Europe, or
to procure temporary diplomatic or other en-
ployments in the United States, which will en-.
enable them to obtain access to such heiresses
Strangers, accomplished by education and fash
ion, and we'll read in the ways of the world
they succeeded admirably in these speculations,
and it has now become as common among the
enterpnsing and adventurous young men of
Continental Europe to search for an American
hciress, as it was in England half a century ago
to go out to India to make fortune The
young men of England do not engage in these
modern speculations, they are generally too
proud for the work.
The Brussels correspondent of the Washing.
ton States, furnishes the latest gossip in this
matter, as follows:
IA certain American heiress os immense
wealth, and whilom great Washington belle,
quite Ko-inoor in priceless setting, a few DAYS
ago arrived in Brussels for the purpose of being
married to an Austrian baron. The whole thing
I is yet secret, or supposed to be. The ceremony
Is to be performed first by clergyman of the

and then by the Pope's Nuncio at the hotel of
the Austrian Embassy"

AMOSo the local items of Mondays New
York papers is mentioned the dreadful death of
a person named Selma stinson, formerly of
Connecticut. She was oncea rich widow of the
class SO numerous in New York, kept fashion,
able boarding house and lived in splendid style.
From one reverse to another, she arrived at the
most miserable poverty, and died drunken
outcast in the basement of an unoccupied house
in Watts street. In her possession were found
several letters addressed to highly respectable
merchants, and one to her brother, all imploring
assistance in her wretched state. She had
wandered, penniless, diseased and emaciatcd,
about the streets of New York, meaning TO find
shelter in the hospital, but before reaching it
she died alone in a cold, dreary building, and
will now probably be consigned to Potter's Field.

call of the British Minister at Westinghouse

be positively distressing. Thus:
The Albion English organ in New York; says
the real reason for his going home, is the deli
cate condition of Lady Napier's health mo

mo, says Washington correspondent of
the Iri6une,-"that is not it at all. His Govern
ment recall him as mark of disapprobation for
his ,pro.slavery afinities. 70
And correspondent of the Boston Aarertiser
says, very oracularly,-"In those circles where
the event is most intelligently discussed, the
name of an American Senator (Sumner) now on
the continent, is often mentioned as having con-
tributed to the result"
All in the fog again,-for, according to the
Palmerston organ in London, the Morning Post,
he is sent for because of his leanings in favor of
the Monroe Doctrine.
Nonsense, chimes in the GlO6e,.-His
Lordshp's recall is in regular course of diplo.
matte promotion. He is to be transferred to
Berlin.

Washington correspondent of the Associated
Press. He is not going to Berlin, but TO the
Hague!
Now, the question Is, who is right, AID who
is wrong2 Is Lord Napier going home or not9
Is his 'going" voluntarily or FUNDAMENTALLY?
Is he going at all5 Who knows2 Does anybody

TUE PREsDESr'R MESSAGE AND THE QUEEN's
ADHESIVE are glad to hear any defence of
the interminable length of Presidents Messages
of modern date The Boston Post, as in duty
bound, makes ont tina following very fair case in
reply to the remarks of newspaper in New
Brunswick or Nova Scotia, which betray equal
ignnrance of the Constitution both of Great
Britain and of the United States:
"Look, says the writer, at the length Of the
message of the President, and contrast it with
the brevity of the Queens. That is to forget
That the Queens message or speech is but
ceremony, and she herself, indeed, but pageant.
Her ministers rule, not she. Her ministers are
in Parliament to originate everything, to dis
cuss everything, to attack and to defend. In
the United States it is otherwise; for here the
President is the minister of the sovereign people,
and must speak for himself as we'll as for them;
and his message, instead of being n mere form
of ceremony, is of the substance of the govern
ment; because it is only in and by messages that
he discharges his constitutional function of re-
commencing measures for the consideration of
Congress. And, as to the length of his mes
sage, what is that compared with the volumes
| of discussion which the members of Congress
Till in discussing the same poins? And will
any American III his senses say, on reflection,
that he would have the President address Con-
gress in the brief and curt phrases with which
the Queen of Great Britain communicates her
gracious will to Parliament? That the Presi-
dent might do, if he and the members of his
Cabinet were all of them Senators or RepreSen-
tatives in Congress, with the sole power to in
troduce bills and with complete control in per-
son over all the acts and debates of Congress.
Then, indeed, it would be quite super1uous in
the President to trouble himselfto communicate
to Congress information of the state of the Union
| by message"

The Atlantic Telegraph in Prayer
Meeting.

At the daily prayer meeting in this city
on the morning after the laying of the At
lantic Telegraph Cable was announced,
Rev. DR.. Aiken mentioned an incident re-
lated to him by Mr.. Morse, the inventor of
the Magnetic Telegraph, as follows; Mr..
Morse was in England at the time Of the
battle of " aterloo, and with several gen.
tlemen was spending the day with Mr..
Wibertorce at his residence, when news of
the victory came by post. As soon as the
news was announced, and before any re-
marks were made by the company present,
Mr.. Wilberforce Irose, and placing his
chair before him. said: "Let Us give thanks
to God for the victory" After very ap-
Propriate and fervent prayer, conversation
naturally turned to the great victory and
its probable consequences.
Now, said DR.. Aiken, ] Jnsider that last
evening there was announced greater VIC
tory than that of Watarloo--a boodless
victory-a victory OF science, and skill, and
patience, and perseverance-a victory, in
its influence on the spread of Christianity
and Civilization, greater than any battle
that was ever fought. regard the success
full laying of the Atlantic Telegraph Gable
as the grandesr achievement of wisdom and
skill that the world has ever " itnessed, and
that it will have greater influence on the
destinies OF the human race than any event
that has occurred since the crucifixion of
Jesus Christ. And now let US initiate the

@The yellow fever is very fatal at Ha-
vana. 1t is especially severe on senmen
and other foreigners. Ships have been left
without a crew, all having died perhaps
within few hours. Like stricken victims,
says a writer, ga few vessels may be seen
leaving the harhor by the first breeze; these
few have enough left to sal! away, but not
enough to manage the empty, ship. The
poison was never more plainly discernable
than now; no one can forget its smell, nor
the sinking fog which, as the sun rises,
shoots up and disappears from the hot har-
Dor; there is death in the air We breathe;-
death in the fiery rays of the sun at noon
dav, and pestilence on the ebony wing OF
the midnight breeze" This fearful pesti-
lence is still prevailing at New Orleans
and Savannah, Ga, and is more or less pre-
vslent in all the Gulf cities.

The "Higher Law of Buchanan.

The brig Dolphin, which captured the
SLAYER Echo off the coast of Cuba, las been
transferred from the home squadron to the
Paraguay expedition. To arrive at the
meaning of this change We must remember
that this is the first American mmsnder
who has had the courage to capture SLAYER
for long time, and that he had found out
that several more vessels of the same sort
were expected in TIE Gulf within a short
time. Does it not lock very much like Mr.
BUCHANAN wanted TO open the door for the
admission OF the expected slavers!
The following from The Key of the GUT,
will give an idea of the horrible condition of
the miserable creatures who were found on
the Echo
.The prize had on board when taken,
about $50 Africans, mostly youne--none of
whom were over thirty ive years of age;-
and there were evidently several births on
the voyage More than seven-eights of the
slaves, male and fems e, were in a nude
state They vera confined to the deck in
sitting posture-"spoon fashion"-end, as
we learn from DIR. !. III. Browne of the Dol
phin, presented most disgusting, sicken-
ing and revelting appearance. Many had
the leprosy. others with their eyes obtru-
ding from the socket, Others with horrible
sores snd almost all conceivable ailments,
consequent to their position in confinement
and treatment on board. Originally, there
were 47O taken OF board, of which number
l4O had died.
"Among the incidents of the capture, we
learn that the night before that event, the
vessel being within about eighty miles of
the port of destination, grand champagne
"biow out" was had on board in anticipation
of soon successfully completing the voyage
and lingering the proceeds-of which we
were Informed each of the crew was to re-
ceive 5000, and the owners expected to
clear $780, 0,000-but before they had time
to sleep off the effects OF their potations,
the Dolphin hove in sight al daylight, much
to th cir surprise end chagrin. Also during
the chase, when it was thought by the
slavers that their vessel was distancing the
Dolphin, they again INDUCED in champagne,
drinking confusions to the pursuers, leaning
ever the rail and bowing and tossing off
bumper in the most approved and "don't
you wish you could catch US" style. Put
when the last shot was fired, going between
her masts, their self. assurance ard hopes OF
escape turned to fear and excitement; and
after the capture they expressed great as
tonishment as to the accuracy of the shot.

The ship and cargo are now at Columbia,
South Carolina. The Charleston Mercury
earnestly argues that the negroes are need
ed, and should be made slaves of at once;
that it would be blessing to them to do SO.
But the Government is afraid to 60 so as it
would expose it to the censure of the world
and hence is determined to send them back

Conclusion cf Pathetic Story Of
Real Life.
BELMONT. Sept. 6, 1858.

Sometime in June last we published, un-
der the title of "Truth Stranger thar Fic-
tion" the story of two young men in the
West of Eng land, named Clyma and Paul,
the latter oi whom was supposed to have
been murdered by the former, but was met
in Chicago, few days previous to the rub-
lication of the narrative, by Mrs. Bosustow
a sister of the suspe cted murderer 1t will
be remembered that the sister and Eau |,
the supposed murdered man--were on their
way to England to see what could be done
for Cyma, who bad for eleven years been
insane from the suspicion excited against
him, and the death, by grief of his betroth-
ed. The Cleveland Herald gives, from
private letters. the sad termination of this
pathetic story cf real life.
On their arrival in England, PAUL and
Mrs. Bosustuw proceeded at once to their
former place OF residence.
The unusual circumstance of post car
rioge entering the quiet little village at a
late hour OF the night created considerable
curios ity, and in short time the astound-
ing news that the supposed murdered man
had arrived alive and prosperous flew ike
wildf-e through the village, and the humble
tavern where the strangers put up was sur
rounded by an excited crowd eager to see
the man who seemed to have risen from the
tomb TO visit them. The ordinary quiet
course Of village life was so disturbed that
a huge bonfire was lit near the tavern, and
the excitement was kept up until towards
morning.
On arriving at the asylum they learned
that the patient of whom they were in
search had been lying dangerously i'll for
some time.
For two weeks he lay in this condition,
gradually getting worse. During this time
he was faithfully attended by his sister and
PAUL, the latter scarcely ever leaving the
bedside, being in hopes Of at sometime OBJ.
taining sign of recognition from the un-
fortunate patient. On the twentieth Of last
month Clyma awoke from deep sleep, and
with return OF reason. 1t was sometime
before he recognized PAUL, who chanced to
be standing at his bedside, but when he
was fully aware who it was, the shock near.
ly caused a relapse. During the day Re be-
came more consc Gus of passing events and
held quiet conversations with his sister and
PAUL touching the sad drama in which they
had borne parts. The physician, observing
that the patien; was gradually becoming
weaker, forbade any more conversations of
the kind. and succeeded in getting him into
a qhite-sleer. II was his last. Towards
morEiIg Clyma awoke, repeated two or
thre mes the name of his long dead be-
trOtNSd. and before assistance could be sum.
moned had passed away from the scene of
his grievous affections.

on the 18Th June. The Mornmon excite
ment had been entirely abated. Several
Mormon trains had passed Camp Scott on
their way to the States"
They stated while camped at the above
place, that they would not have been per-
mitted to leave, or they would Lave aban-
doned Salt Lake long ago.
On being questioned as TO their determi-
nation to resis; the entrance of the United
States troops, they replied that the major
part of the Mormons only awaited the en-
trance of the troops in order to effect their
escape from Brigham Young and Mormon
ism.
On their arrival a, Camp Scott, they were
minus the common necessaries OF life. On
being asked the cause OF their destitute
condition. they stated that before Brigham
Young had relented IRON his determination
to resist the troops. he had ordered them 10
deposit what provisions they had in the
store .huuse; but as soon as he made known
his intention of going South, those of the
MorNens who re used to go, were deprived
OF all, and could get nothing for their out
fit. They also stated that but for the in
reference OF Gov. CuIERng, the destroy
ing angel would have forced them away,
and that they did succeed, i'll some instances
in driving away several women. / came
down with ta Mormon trains from Camp
Scott, numbering about 300 persons, prin-
cipally women, who were chiefly English,
and some Scotch; aud the principal topic
of their conversation throughout was the
absurdi,y OF Mornonism and its principles.
They we're all unanimous in their denunci-
ations OF Brigham Young and his apostles.
and talked of his assination br the Nor
mons who remain at Camp Scott, as a
sure event. They have all (wilhout excep-
tion) become disgusted with Mormonism and
renounced it, and expressed their determi-
nation from henceiurth to use all their ef-
forts Tor the total annihilation of Mormon
ism. They express their desire TO return
had the means to do SO, in order that they
might be in trumental in saving others from
the baneful influence OF Mormonism. On
their arrival at PlattSmouth, OF the Missouri
River, they had Ca lculated TO cross over to
Council Bluffs; bu, the bad condition OF the
roads in Iowa changed their resolve, and
they are now dispensing themselves in
Kansas and Nebraska Territories
Mr. Brandon gave Us many other interest
ing particulars, IRON which We conclude
that speedy dissolution awaits the COM
munity OF Latter Day Saints. Many OF the
women, although they went to Utah inno-
cent and pure. We Judge, are very unlikely
to cad very exemplary life in the future.
They have been d-Oased until they are
likely to a5anton themselves TO the loath
