TIE ATLANTIC TELEGRApH-CU RresrrrB 3 OF
lTs WoRKNe-The copies of the four hu ndred
messages sent through the Atlantic cable which
we published yesterday, ueybasia, as the were
sent and received, produced, we learn, quite a
sensation in this city They set at rest for ever
the question Of the practicability of ts egrapbic
intercourse between the Old World am the New.
Many persons were incredulous ss to any meg
sage whatever having been recoix ID at either
side. But the testimony Of The oas rators, under
oath, showing that messages were sent and re-
ceived for the space Of twenty-five days between
Valentia and Newfoundland, leW es no longer ga
peg to hang doubt upon" And if 271 mes
sages containing 1856 words were transmitted
from Newfoundland to Valencia, and 129 mes
sages containing l,474 word, were transmitted
from Valentia to Newfound land, it is evident
that regular permanent tslegraphic commune
cation can be established between Europe and
America, and its accompV .shment Is only a ques
ton of time.
Independently Of the sworn testimony as
to the accuracy of The messages we pub
lished yesterday, they bear internal evidence
OF their genuineneSt, and present curious pic
ture- perfect d0guerreotype Of exactly whet
has been done in The greatest enterprise of the age
To the readers eye the cable thus tells its own
story, and BIDS him confidently believe that its
successor Win be laid with more complete ar
rangemertts and, fiom the experience gained,
with y certainty of success. The experiment

NAVIGATING THE AR--A few weeks since
Ar. Wise and Mr., La Mountain, two gen.

board in balloon constructed specially for
transatlantic navigation. They got into certain

calculated would have carried them to their des.

AuRIFERoUs ACCOUNTS FROM Pixies PEAK.-A
telegraphic despatch brings us marvellous ac-
counts of the fresh discoveries that have been
made in the Kansas gold Mines That big mug
get" has again turned up to excite the cupidity
and decide the wavering purpose of the unsettled.
The parties who humbugged Horace Greeley
must be the experienced miners who have disin-
tered this auriferops prodigy. We have such
entire faith in them that we believe they can
light upon any quantity Of similar discoveries
that the exigencies Of their employers call for.
These tricks have been played so often that
they are now nearly played out. Dupes are still
to be made, it is true; but they are not 30 easily
caught as formerly. The experience of the Cali.
fornia and Australian gold mines has proved
to people that, although gold may exist in
boundless quantities, the labor of digging for it
is not always paying operation The average
Of the gains made by the miners in those regions
has not been found, on close calculation, to ex-
coed the earnings Of the mechanics employed in
large cities or Of the agricultural laborers work
ing on farms. To what purpose then, tend the
expensive outlay necessary for mining under
takings the risks Of the road aud the hazards
resulting from privation and exposure? For the
one who makes fortunate hit thousand encoun-
ter protleesly all these chances 50 that the ven
ture where people want to gamble had better be
made on race course OR lottery. There, at
least, they can lose their money without infict.
ing on themselves severe bodily suffering CT in
curing the risk Of being carried off by malarious
diseases.
These Kansas marvels, like the exciting
rumors circulated in regard to the Indian
relics discovered in Central America, are, we
believe merely a bait thrown out to entrap tho
greedy and unwary.

THE New MINISTER TO CENTRAL AMERICA -
Mr.. Buchanan has made his selection of Minis.
ter to Central America, and he has shown his
sagacity in the choice he has made.
Breaking through the vicious practice of
selecting our diplomatic representatives from
the vicious circle of ignorant aud local poll.
ticians, he has chosen man for the place capa.
BILE Of filing its duties, without regarding the
hitherto recognized requisite Of list of antece-
dents in doing the dirty work of party. Mr..
Alexander Dimitry is native Of Louisiana, and
bas in bis veins the blood of Greece and the
aboriginal American. His varied learning and
extensive requirements in language, public law
and State policy brought him many years since
into intimate relations with the State Depart
ment. He was the otter of antecedents aud au-
thorities in public law for Secretary Marcy, and
his abilities as writer have long been exercised
behind the scenes upon our public documents.
From hia long connection with the department,
Mr. Dimitry possesses an intimate practical know
ledge of the policy of our government, and Of the
pnblic questions it is 90 frequently called upon
to discuss. The questions involved in our Gen.
trail American relations have been familiar to
him almost from their inception, and there will
be no necessity to seek for secretary as dry
nurse to the legation while be holds it. We are
glad the government has made this choice, and
we hope the example Mr.. Buchanan has set in
choosing diplomatic knowledge and ability, in
stead of party claims, for foreign mission, will
become the rule, and not the exception, as it has
hitherto been

disappointment All these plans for navigating
the air with certainty are, we believe, destined
to meet with similar fate. The services Of the
aeronaut may occasionally be called iato requid-
ton for military observations, as during the 70
cent italian campaign; but for purposes OF cem-
municaticn or locomoion they will never prove
of any value. Balloon navigation, like the
Northwest Passage, may serve as problem 10
occupy scientific minds; but we are persuaded
that for these purposes it must ever remain a
unrealizable theory.
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1859-08-17

drst political desire Is the restoration Of the
peace and harmony Of the Union--the record, the
public services, acts and antecedents of General
Houston will strongly recommend him. We do
not know of any living Southern statesman so
competent as he is to unite all the broken frag-
ments of the democratic party. His nomination
at Charleston would put the party back again
upon the old jackson Union platform, and revive
all the souvenirs of the old Jacksonian demo.
cracy from Main 10 Texas.
But If the democratic party do not choose to
avail themselves Of his personal popularity,
he will be the most available of all men for that
third, OF national Union party, which will un-
doubtedly come forward In season to take hand
In the Presidential battle. As the candidate of
such party, General Houston (ifnot elected by
the people, would carry the election into Con.
gress. Once there, the late Southern Con-
gresionsl elections show that he would still hold
the balance of power In the votes of Kentucky,
Tennessee, North Carolina, Maryland and Texas,
which will be against the democracy in the
House, except in one or two of those cases neu.
tralized by tie vote.
Thus General Houston has " two strings to his
bow" He is the most eligible man for the de-
mccracy-an old soldier, an old Jacksonian de-
nocrat, and, the very thing that will be most
available at Charleston, conservative Union
Southern man-good for the South and popular
in the North Secondly, If refused by the Charles
ton Convention, he will be the very man upon
whom all those opposition elements representing
the principles of Jackson, Clay Webster, Crit.
tenden, John Bell, Fillmore, Everett, Winthrop,
Bolts and Bates, could be most readily combined.
Powerful parties heretofore have taken up and
made great men out of small men; but that day
Of party power has gone by, and now every party
is compelled to look to its candidate for strength
ard reinforcements. In this view Gen. Houston
stands first in the front rank of available men,
either for the democracy or conservative oppo-
sition party; and if the former pass him by, the
latter may safely adopt him and elect him, if not
by the people, then by the House of Representa-
tives, as the only acceptable compromise between
the Northern republicans aud the Southern demo-
cracy. We shall not in the least degree be sur
prised it. within the next three months the pre-
tensions Of Wise and Douglas are completely
eolipsed by the popular name of General Sam
Houston.

.DEArH OF AN ESTEEMED CIrIzEN.-We announce
with deep regret the death this morning of our res
pected friend James W. Marsh. Esq. During the
east seven years he has resided in Honolulu, practis-
ing law, for which profession he was eminently quail
flied. The natives, particularly, looked to him as a
counsellor and friend. For several months past he
had been slowly wasting under hedisease which had
attacked him, and his death is not unexpected. He
was the son of Rev. DR.. Marsh, of Burlington, Vt,
and brother of Rev. ]. Marsh, of New York city.
The funeral of Mr.. NJ. will be held at Al O'Clock tn is
afternoon. -
A PRISONER KuLED-About ten O'Clock last
Thursday, one of the native prisoners was instantly
killed on the New Esplanade. Though repeatedly
warned by the overseer he persisted in getting under
one of the dirt carts for the purpose of removing the
fastening of the end. The cart suddenly tipped. and
the top of the mans head was literally cut of, kill
ing him instantly.
~ Rumor says that guano windfalls are the or
der of the day. Squibob asks if benevolent souls can't
remember Uncle Pendleton, who stood by the old
John Marshall, like a watchdog, and would only
give her up to the Sherif-s writ.
FROM LAHAINA.-We learn that the premises long
occupied by Messrs. Bolles s. Co., Ship Chambers,
have changed hands, and will be occupied, after the
lst of February, by s. Hofmeyer. who will continue
the Ship Chandlery business.
ANOTHER THEFT OF MoNEY.-Last Thursday Mr.
Cleghorn, who keeps a dry goods store on Nuuanu
Street, lost a cash-box, containing about $50. No
clue has as yet been discovered of the thieves.
BAY WHALING.-We learn that three stations have
been opened for whaling in and around kalepolepo
Bay, and hope to hear soon Of some better c~atchings
than the last attempt reported off Honolulu harbor.
- A fire occurred last week at Lahaina, which
consumed a large thatch dwelling. occupied, we be
