THE MoRTARA CAsE.--Gen. Csss, in bis third lets
ter on the Moriara case, addressed James P Levy
Esq, ssys:
'.You DO me but justice when you class me amoag
the friends Of religious liberty. aad also when you
refer 10 my. course in the Senate when questions
under dis9ussi6n there touching the rights Of
our felIoW-oizens Ct the HebreE faith. Ny reason,
not less than my feelings leads me 10 advocate IA
limited freedom Of conscience. --a--.-----l.--
But in the application for The suthoritstive cen.
sure by this Government OF the proceedings at Be-
logna, the true principles of national intefcommuni
cation dictate caution and reserve, and as we should
resent any such Interference in our own case, We
ought equally to abstain from when other nations
are concerned z9E t4ta 81 yfa9asr
si5ut as an individual have no hesitaiion in ex-
pressing my surprise aud regret al che deplorable
in thu Papal States. 1t is difficult TO con
ceive how such az act Of injustice could take place
in the middle Of the nineteenth century, sndi the
heart of Europe. The judgment Of the world will
condemn it.
How TO FIGHT TIE INDIAEs.-Mr. Kendall writes
from Texas to the New Orleans Piecyuns.
''In one Of Lindsay's recent scouts 4gHinst the
Navajoes one Of the latter was killed the distance
Of four hundred yards, and another wounded. If
we outreseh them in this way, it is great point
gaiDod for the Indian is nOtOrously TOO prudent Of
his blood to fight long at disadvantage. The wesp
that be is not effective sixty seventy
yards and when be fluids himself struck down at fsC
six times that distance, his discrelcu viii
overcome his Valor." l-..
The ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH.-The London Times,
received by the Asia, contains the following intei
geuce in reference to the Atlantic Telegraph
The company has made application to tine govern
Esent for guarantee Of AZ per cent. on e37 900,
subject 10 the conditions the Red Sea tele-
graph line and This application has been backed by
memorials from the leading firms Of London, Man |
chester, Liverpool, Birmingham, Leeds, Halifax, /
Bradford, Hull, Glasgow, Paisley, and Norwich. |
If this application be granted, contracts will imme
diately be concluded for new cable, ind sBy ne I
gotiations viii subsequently, be entered iHtO.
No attempt can be made, with any prospect Of |
success, to lift the old cable until the return Of calm
westher at the end OF April or Nay next, aud even
under the best circumstances the expectations with
regard to this operation are not favorable. @
Nashville it has been definitely sscertained that |
the existing damage is not at the shore end. The
laying of the new end has been completed to the
distance Of twelve miles out from Valentia and the
portion taken up is found TO be in perfect condition
for the purposes. e..-.E EEs aare !
The experiments lately undertaken By person
previously connected with the enterprise confirm
the original inference that the main fault is shout
go miles from the Irish coast, at depth Of 300 I
fsthoms There is also fault on the other side,
which is thought to be about 500 miles from News
foundland.
Currents, however still continue to be received +
although Of a kind feeble and uncertain to be
useless for any practical purpose At present the
telegraph is in charge of Mr.. Henley.
IL viii be remembered that the word +" Henly"
was received through the cable on. Saturday week
by q reporter Of the assooisted press, who is
featuring an apparatus such his experience the
spot leads him 20 think may yet possibly lead to
some results, but in no case could there be hope of
achieving permanent and satisfactory communion
ton otherwise than bya new line
The Times thinks that there is but little doubt
that the consent OF the Government win be given
to the application Of the company.
