The President cordially reciprocates the con-
CALCULATIONS of Her Majesty, the Queen. on the
success of the great international enterprise, &C
complished by the science, skill, and indomitablc
energy of the two countries. 1t is triumph
more glorious because far more useful to man
kind than was ever won by conqueror on the
field of BATTLE May the Atlantic Telegraph,
under the blessing Of Heaven, prove to be
the kindred nations, and an instrument destined

In this view will not all the Nations of Chris
tendon spontaneously unite in the declaration
that it shall be forever neutral, and that it's
communications shall he held sacred in passing
to the places of their destination, even in the
midst of hostili ties? JAMES BUCHANAN.
IT Won't Dove have some terrible COM
plants of hard fare and mean treatment from
some of the fashionable watering places. We
will write to the proprietors first, and then if
the causes of these complaints are not removed.
we will, in Justice to the public, come down on
them &C. like thousand of brick" To charge

We agree with the Burlington Times, which
remarks in connection with tho above, that
6 city people are not, as general thing,
more than half-witted in their selections of
"s summer resorts" They should, if they wish
for rural health and beauty, instead of leaving
the towns of New York and Boston for the
cities of Saratoga, &r., &C., leave them for the
quiet scenes in the country. There are hundreds
of them in this State, which are really refresh
ing and invigorating retreats. Go to Will
loughby, Magog and Champlain for the fish to
Plainfeld, Williamstown and Clarendon Springs
for the health of the waters, the cool atmos-
phere, and to the many country Hotels along
the picturesque shores of the little lakes, which
dot the State from North to South for beauty
quiet, and withal, the luxury of good living.
An effort is being made to get up boat ract
at Alburgh Springs. There is not prettel
place in the world than Missisquoi Bay, oppo-
site the said Springs, for Regatta, and W.
trust the effort will be successful. -Rouse

We have for along time wondered why 81
lovely a locality as the islands in the LAX
should not be better appreciated, and have tina
attention bestowed to the establishment of thos
harmless amusements and Improvements which
would, without doubt, render it Fashionable
place of summer resort. Surely, there is N
better place for pleasure, nor opportunities 70
boat rides, bathing, fishing, and withal the de
lightful scenery must render it attractive some
time.
