The electric telegraph here has been the cause of
an affecting disaster During violent storm yester-

nearly over, an official of the telegraph office, ard
some artilerymen set about replacing the posts.

the spot and the third received serious injuries on

The Murder of Plug Ugly In New Orleans.

The New Orleans correspondent of the Boston Post
under date of 25th ult., writes:
Hung be the bar-rooms in black-let all rufhandom
procure suit of sables-for Abe Phillips the leader of
the Thugs-the grand Corypheus of the desperadoes,
and the terror OF New Orleans, more His career
of usesSness and crime suddenly prematurely and
permanently checked last Tuesday evening, in Canal
street and he cumbers the earth longer IF he who
lives by the sword shall perish by the sword the same is
equally true of the bowieknife and revolver Phillips
was but twentyeght years of age, of great personal
strength of murderous disposition, and was acknowl
edged captain of all the desperate characters in the CITY,
lie had committed more asSassinationS and brutal as
Saults, with pistol knife and sung shot, than many
ruan of twice his age yet gone "unwhpped of Justice
Vengeance however, over took him at last. He had
given his bowie-knife airing the night before his
death, by plunging it into lieutenant of police at
political meeting, and whether he was attacked the
following evening by some friends of his last victim,
or by some persons who wished to pay of an old
score, is not known, but it IS supposed that he
was killed by men he considered to be his friends be-
| Cause he very wary and cautious as to who ap-
preached him, and therefore could not easily be taken
by surprise He was walking along Canal street on
Tuesday evening, and seen to overtake
him and to put his hand on his shoulder and walk
along with him then two others were to walk up
behind Phillips and the first man. and as soon as they
came near the three instantly and simultaneously shot
and stabbed Phillips, before he had time to draw
either his bowe-knife revolver, which were found
in his belt. His aSsaSsins novices in the use
of their weapons, and they meant to make sure of
him. for they gave him sixteen stabs either one Of
which would have caused death, and three bullet
wounds. Most of these were given when he was on
the ground for he fell at the first onslaught His muir
derers then fed and the first person who reached the
scene of the unfortunate found the cham
pon of the Thugs dead and literally cut to pieces
His followers buried him with all the honors the fol-
lowing day, and the procession that followed the hearse
was composed of the very flower of murderdom, and
seemed to have "gallows and "pententiary stamp
ed upon their countenances.

A correspondent of the New York Tribune gives the
following news to the destination of the Mormons
A scouting party came into camp yesterday from the
vicinity of Echo Canon, of the approaches to Salt
Lake Valley. They bring the information that that
pass and the points between it and the Valley occu

source that the Governor since his advent in the city,
has been kept under strict guard and that he is denied
communication with all except those in the confidence

Adjournment OF the Senate-Denunciation of Search
and Visitation.

It will be seen from the published proceedings, in
other place. that the Senate of the United States after
an extra session of two days. held in pursuance of the
Presidents proclamation of Monday last adjourned yes
terday without day. the session having been devoted
among other executive business to the consideration
as is understood of important treaties with foreign
powers
The Senate did not adjourn, we are glad to announce
without previously adopting the resolutions introduced
by its chairman of Foreign Relations Mr. Mason, which
understood to have had the cordial endorsement of
the President declaring the unaerabe position of this
government in regard to the British pretenson to the
right of search visitation The resolutions denounce
the recent outrages perpetrated upon flag in the
Gulf; demand "equvocal and final disposition" by
the two governments of that Uerata qesio of their in
ternatonal diplomacy and record the full approval"
by the Senate of the Executive in promptly despatching
its whole disposabe naval force to the Gulf for the ress
tance of the nsolent proceedings in question. The
solutions were unanimously adopted.
The Senate has thus devoved upon the President the
task of bringing about final and unequivoca settle
ment between the two governments of question which
once produced prOtraced between the two nations
and which, left unsettled by the war; has remained an
adjourned difference i'll allegiance from that day to the
present We feel satisfied that the recent insults to
flag in the waters Of Cuba will be properly apologized
Tor by the British authorities Such amende honorable
however, can only extend to the immediate injuries
which have been received and would not touch the que
ton of principle lying behind and at the bottom these
mere incidents of the obnoxious claim of England.
The recent occurrences in the Gulf have served to
drag from its dark corner this ugly goblin of our dplo
macy which must be e1ectualy and finally exer-
csed from the places it has haunted so long.
Fortunately, our country has in her State Depart
ment statesman of no halfway views, and of historical
opinions on this immediate question; and has, in her
Chief Magistrate, the abcst and most experienced di-
plomatist of which she boast. We express but the
universal feeling of the country when rejoice in the
reflection that this difficult question is in the best hands
into which it could possibly have fallen.

Things to Cherish.


The eyes that look with love on thee,
That brighten with thy smile,
Or mutely bid thee hope again,
If thou art sad while;
The eyes that, when no words are breathed,
Gaze fondly into thine
Oh cherish them, ere they grow dim:
They may not always shine
The faithful hearts around thee,
That glow with love and youth,
That time and care ne'er yet have scared,
Nor ravished OF their truth
The hearts whose beatings We have heard
When throbbing near our own ~
Oh, cherish them those beatings hushed,
Earth's dearest tones are gone.
The days when there are hearts and eyes
That thrOb and beam for thee;
The few feet hours when life doth seem
Bright as a summer sea
The thrilling moments when to speak
The full hearts joy is vain
Oh, cherish them! once gone, alas
They never return again

"a friend who has been voyagng over the Wabash
bottoms in boats and steamers represents the whole val

navigate it. He was ferried from Vincennes to Law
renee in Illinois, distance of ten miles over water,

rich bottoms which yield such stores OF food and con,

desoate wastes this summer. Those who ordinarily
supplied SO many mouths by their labor will themselves
seek food this year from others The amount OF the loss
is incalculable."
