CYRUS W. FIELD.

Honor cui Honor Debitus est1 The wreath that twines the victor's brow. Is not so bright, so fair, as thine; Before thy Genius monarchs bow,
 Chief of the Photographic Line When Carthage poured her legions forth Against imperial Rome, and dared The Alpine snows, what valorous worth With Hannibal's on earth comparede And when with eagle eye of fire,
 And lion heart Napoleon rose; And hurled the vengeful bolts of ire
 Against his panic stricken foes He scaled the towering Alpine range, As Hannibal had done before; feat more marvellous and strange, -.-. Than wading through a field of gore But thou, o Field, hast nobly won
 far more bless'd and bright renown; And all beneath the glorious sun, -..-. With deathless bays thy brow will crown. Across the wide Atlantic tide,
 Like vast beam of solar light, Where ships and navies proudly ride, Thy Genius laid a line of might. In peace and hope. and friendship joined, Two worlds may now together meet The triumphs of the immortal Mind, How grand how glorious and complete!

Such have been the late decisions of the California courts and magistrates, that there is now hope that Col. JOHN c. FREMONT will obtain the undisturbed possession of the Mar iposa property The tract of ground which he claims under q patent from the United States and under several decisions of the Uni ted States Courts of Justice, consists of forty four thousand acres, and contains very valua- be mines of gold bearing quartz. It is in Mariposa County, aud will eventually make the gallant Colonel one of the richest men of the world, provided he can be secured in its undisturbed possession. He has already es- tablshed quartz-erushing mill in the county, which produces gold to the amount of $2600 week. New mills will be built and the gain still farther increased.
 The Colonel has had great trouble from trespassers on large scale. Among these trespassers was the Merced Mining Compa- ny" who, more than year ago, seized on the Pine Tree Vein," a rich gold mine in Bear Valley, where Col. Fremont resides. An ap- peal to the courts brought decision in favor of Fremont, and it appeared in the investga- tion ot title that even the Josephine Vein," worked by the Merced Mining Company be- longed to the Colonel He attempted to dis possess them, aud for week the opposing par ties were in arms against each other. A com mittee of the citizens of the county ordered him to leave the Pine Tree Vein." He re- fused on the ground that the committee was |selfappointed one and did not represent the county, and that the land was his under a. United States patent. The property was his by law, by possession and by mining regula- tons. Ycu say,"'h he added, "yon wish to avert bloodshed. If it comes, the citizens of this county need no assurance from me that it will not be of my provoking. Outrageous aud beyond precedent as this attack is, will confne myself to the right of self-defence, which the law gives to citizens who have theil lives and property attacked."
 On a history of the case being laid before Governor Weller, he decided ill Fremont's fla vor, and pledged the whole military force of the State in his favor. The Merced Company thcn gave up, aud the Colonel took quiet pos session of his property. This great estate has thus been secured to him by decisions in the U. s. and State Courts, and he will now prob ably go forward and develope his immense re- sources, by cutting canals, erecting mills. and making his gold estates available.

fss1 By the arrival of the steamship Arabia from Liverpool, whence she sailed on the 7th inst, the first despatches received from Valentia Bay an nouncing the arrival of the Agamemnon. There was much rejoicing in England over the success of the Atlantic Telegraph Enterprise but no great eel lebrations of the event in this country We copy an article from the London Times. announcing the result which will be read with interest as an cxh btion of the views on the other side of the Atlantic
 in respect to the value and effect of telesraphic munication between the two continents. .f
 The stock of the Telegraph Company which had been sold at 34 per cent rose to 90 per cent or nearly par on the announcement in London of the successful laying of the cable As the entire capital is only about two million dollars, it can hardly fail to pay a good dividend The governments of Great Britain and the United States each pay about seven ty thousand dollars annually for t transmission of their messages until the dividends amount to per cent. on 1850 900, and thereafter fifty thousand dol lars per annum.

To the President of he United Stass:

W An interesting discussion has been in progress for some time between the New York Evening Post and Tribune to the policy of direct taxation for the payment of the expenditures of the national govern ment The Post favors direct taxation and the Fri bune advocate duties on imports, or indirect taxes Except the latter method, which has been adopt ed from the commencement of the government. pro- tects and encourages American industry we think the Post has decidedly the best of the argument We see no more difficulty in collecting direct taxes for the national than the state governments and if the people had to pay directly what they are now obliged to pay indirectly in the increased prices of dutiable foreign articles which they consume the public expenditures would be very materially les sened. Most certainly therefore if the question of encouraging home industry were not involved, we should advocate direct taxation. The national tax would be about two dollars to each inhabitant, or less probably to most families than the duty on the single article of sugar which they consume.
 We have said that we prefer direct taxation to du- ties imports, if the latter are not needed to en courage American industry. But, at present, we know duties are needed for such fncouragcment and their removal would be disastrous to many industri al pursuits; and no great changes should be made ln system so long established without great cau- tion Every necessary article of consumption from abroad, which does not come in competition with the products or manufacture of our own citizens, should however come into the country duty free, and eventually we may be prepared for entire free trade and direct taxation in common with the great nations with whom we have most intercourse.
