the republicans and Know Nothings Of this

business the great element of "free wool" and
the lobby business generally. In fact, he has
advised the drowning of Matteson at once,

The CELEBRATION AT CHHRBOUR0.-Whon peO-
pie who claim to be great friends before the
world entertain any little heart-bunings
towards each other, they always make violent
efforts when in public to seem most heartily
cordial. This truism comes aptly TO mind on
reading the published accounts Of the meeting
of the royal families Of England and France at
the celebration Of the completion Of the great
naval arsenal at Cherbourg, the long contem-
plated imperial scheme of France to hold Great
Britain In check. II we may believe these,
never were greetings more cordial than those
exchanged between the Courts of Napoleon md
Victoria The British press however, with true
English tenaoity, will express its dogged opinion
that England has no reason to be satisfied with
this event. and gives not very aAttering de-
NAL, In fact, to the fine words Of Prince Albert.
Yet the pageant was q great one, whether 1t
were truthful or not. The French press too,
whether from the fact that 1t Is under more
control than the English, or any other reason
follows the cue of the Emperor, and permits
only one or two expressions of triumph to
escape in its comments
but tnero was one Iact, Ohc Sreas eN0ns
In the celebration, that though not receiving
80 much notice as it deserves, far out
weighs Cherbourg, and its docks and fleets, in
its political Importance and future influence on
the destinies of nations. While the Queen Of
England sat at dinner on board the flag ship Of
the French Admiral, with Napoleon by her
side a little missive that had come on the wings
of the lightning was handed to her. 1t simply
said, "The Atlantic telegraph has been laid"
Whatever misgivings might have nestled in her
heart at the portents Of the event she was honor
ing toward her own people, they were at once
scattered to the winds The nations and peoples
of her world. wide kingdom were bound together
In instantaneous communication, and q mighty
and kindred Power was within call. Abso-
lutism might take pride In its armies and its
ships, but liberty was now quickened with a
higher and nobler impulse, for the great tri-
umph of peace had prevailed. The true event
on the day of Cherbourg was the landing of the
Atlantic cable. The docks and ports that 1t
opened to the instruments of war will crumble
into dust countless ages before the impulse
which the ocean telegraph has given to the
world shall cease to produce its results.

length of Kansas. 1t charges that the AboIitionsts
of Kansas have no desire to settle the question at

Maj. Rector, who, as heretofore announced, is to
superntend the action OF the delegation of friendly
Indians, now at Fort Myers arrived in this place on
Saturday last, and departed for the former port on
Wednesday. The delegation will commence their
duties as soon practicable. In the meantime in
accordance with instructions from Washington the
troops will be withdrawn from the immediate vi
cinity of BOwlegs followers but kept stationed in
the country adjacent for sufficient time to demon
strae the efficacy fallacy of this pacific movement
Should the delegation fail in its object the troops
will push upon the SeminOes with renewed yigor.

In the treaty which will be proffered to Bowlegs
and tribe, it is stipulated that the Semnoles shall re.
ceive the guardianship Of the United States govern
ment-that for twelve months they shall be fed and
clothed and their expenses paid to their new homes
in the West on the Seminole reservation in Arkansas
which lies between the Cherokee and Choctaw ma,
tOns, and which has been held for them for some
time. The government is to pay them Immediately
on their arrival at their Western home two hundred
and fifty thousand dollars besides giving them me
chanics, farmers and blaeksmiths to instruct the
children, and twenty-five thousand dollars annrall,
forever. 1t is possible one hundred thousand dollar
or 80 more may be given to them as bonus. This O
