AMERIcANs-A letter received by the Phila-
delphla Bulletin, dated Rio Janerio, April 30,
says
The board Of directors of the Don Pedro
ii Railroad Company have awarded to the
American bid the contract for all the work
on the entire second section of their rail
road-all that was advertised to be let This
contract,at the engineers estimate, will amount
to about three and half millions of dollars
fhere are about 2l2 miles of the road yet to
be let, which, if the contractors carry on the
second section satisfactorily, it is expected will
be placed in the same hands This will amount
to some twelve millions. The Americans had

WBNTHE SOUTHERN RADICALS THIyK.-The
Charleston Mercury says the passage of the
English bill will not alIay agitation and
those who tbink that the Union is to be pre-
served by such instrumentalitieS, will only add
another proof Of the vanity of their timid and
short-sighted policy" The Mercury also be-
lieves " the Douglas detection will most pro-
badly annihilate at the Fall elections The
Democrats adherentS of the South in the North
and present in the popular branch of the next
Congress, an almost united anti Southern sec.
tional majority against US" That opinion is
well founded.

A Great Book for Summer Time.

One Of the raciest books of fun and humor
that have appeared for long time is a little
daintily printed open type volume, entitled
" Aqnarelles or Summer Sketches" The
work is brmful of rollicking fun, frolic, and
satire upon the follics and forms of modern
Life at the Springs, illustrated with many ex
quistc original designs Its points of humor
are brilliant sallieS of w.t. and so lfel like that
all Newport, Sharon and Saratoga will be on
the quj rire to get the book. We believe it
will challenge the notice of all lovers of light
reading, and we are sure they will enjoy rich
treat in poriug over its provoking pages.
We cut the following from one of our contem-
poraries
THE author scydenya skilful mncr for his touches
instinct with life. This is just the book to choose as
companion pleasure trip the quiet country OF to
the seaside whether by racar steamboat. 1t pos
several advantages for this in its gay and sunny
pictures well Its keen vet genial satire and free
almost cOlOqUal style 1t will doubtless become the ia
vorte OF all seeking readers home and abroad
Stanford & Dclisser, of New York are the
publishers, who have also just issued a very
charming work of different class, but no less
excellent in its way entitled Pearls ofTHOpgM,
gathered from Old Authors" 1t comprises the
best passages of tie great masters Of our Eng
lish prose and poesy Of the 18th century-the
Augustan age of letters. This sterling little
volume has been received by the critics with
great applause, and is becoming widely popu-
lar 1t is styled by the " Y Observer, "a very
gem of a book, and one to sit down calmly
with as companion for solitude, a feast for
friends in company, a comfort in sadness, and
a JOY always" Sanford & Delisser, have also
now ready a series in six little volumes The
Little Church Ltbrary-by Jenny Marsh Par
ker author Cf The Boy Missionary" &c
The series comprises the great nitiatory truths
of Christianity as taught by the Pc Church,
beautifully and effectively described in the form
of narrative, and well adapted to the CON-
p:ehension Of childhood We understand that
the first edition had been exhausted almost as
soon as the work made its appearance. 1t

THE UNEMPLOYED IL THE WESTERN CITIES.

DRowNED.--A little boy aged about 6 or
years, the son of Mr.. John kncchel fell into
the Lehigh river at the wharf Of the Allen
town Iron Works, on Sunday afternoon, aud
although got ont in a short time, life was ex-
tinct. We learn that several boys were play
ing on the wharf where the Company had
their iron stored, and by some accident this
little fellow fell in When he got out, he was
not quite dead, but all efforts to restore him
were unayaiIing. His death proved a ter
ribe shock to his parents The heavy rains
of this season have been peculiarly disastrous
the present season in our vicinity. A few
weeks since two men were drowned in the or
dan in consequence of the high water, and now
an afflicted family are called to mourn the death

Col KANE arrived in Washington on Satur-
day night, and delivered dispatches from Gov.
CCMIING to the President. The purport of the
dispatches has not yet officially transpired, but
sufficient is knowh to Indicate their peaceful
character. Col KANE denies the reports which
have been industriousiy circulated to the effect
that there was a want Of harmony between
Gov. CUNNING and Gen. JOHNSTON. The con
duct Of both these gentlemen is sponken Of in
the highest manner. The idea prevails in Utah
that the war is at an end 4 peace party has
for some time existed there which, according
to Col. KANE, is headed by BRIGHAM You've
himself, who openly eSpouSes the cause of the
United Stttes. There was Il strong opposi-
ton to him before the emigration movement
was resolved upon, but since then this feeling
has been gradually subsidinS At the time
Col. KANE left, with the exception Of those
left to gu'rd the property. here were no
Mormons within frorty miles south of Salt

nag The Carleston CoWriey's Key West
correspondent says that Lieut. PYM asserts that
the reports of outrages on American vessels
are much exaggerated, and in many instances
false. The account of the seizure of the
Cortes, for instance, wa S the grossest exag-
geration. The captain of that vessel, when
overhaued, threw his flag into the sea and de-
clared that he was q Spanard. The contra
band articles found aboard proved her SLAYER,
and she was accordingly sold as such.

ESrDispatches have been received by Lieut.

from those Of The Governor touching their in

got close enough to strike it, when the snake
suddenly raised itself up and blew in its pur-
suers face, causing Mr.. Aben to inhale the
breath of the reptile, poisonous enough to

GoLD IN hANsAs.-The gold fever is raging
in Kansas. In the immediate vicinity of Law
renee forty five persons have become its vic.

from that territory and from Arkansas to the
western part of the territory, where gold has
been discovered. The existence of gold in
Kansas has been known for several years, but
its precise locality has been concealed If Young
Kansas survives this discovery she is indeed
immortal.

SPLICING THE CABLE.-If the igamemaOn
and Nidga,a left Plymouth on the 9th, or
even The 10th instant, as they were to do, on
their great Expedition, it is probable that they
have already halted in mid-ocean, that the tele-
graphic cable has been spliced, and that the
central part of the electric cord that is to
unite Earope and America, is now laying in
it's permanent bed at the bottom of the
Atlantic while the two ships are speeding OIL
their opposite courses. Within the next fort
night the anxious question will doubtless be
answered, and it will be known OH both sides
of the ocean, whether the greatest undertaking
of the present century has proved success or
failure The experimental trip of the two
ships appears to have been satisfactory, the
machinery for payng-out the cable worked
well, the splicing Of the two ends was effect
ed with ease, and unless the ships encounter
harder storm than may bc expected at this
season of the year, or the Nag IRA should en-
counter an iceberg, which is one of the grea-
test dangers to be apprchended there is fair
chaucc that we may hear of the great work
being completed before our next national
holiday.
We cannot say that we are confident sue
cessfnl establishment of this telegraphic com
muncaton with Europe. Every one, Of
course, wishes for its success-and this eager
desire hegets in many minds a degree ofcon
fdcnce which the facts will scarcely warrant
Even if the cable sha be safely lain, we do
not think the feasibility of communication
through so great length Of submerged wire
has yet been demonstrated. Experiments, III
such a case, cannot be conclusive-for the
wire upon which they are made is not submer-
