Extent of the Carpet Trade in the United


Itis singular what remarkable taste the
American shows for O good carpet. IL seems
TO be impossible for him 10 walk comfortably
through life without carpet under his feet,
Every man who occupies few square ieet
of house room must have the brick or the
boards protected from his tread by so much
carpeting. Here carpeting appears in a
thousand places, where in opher parts OF the
world it is never seen.
The English shopkeeper thinks the bare
boards good enough for the reception of his
customers, and seldom does the merchant
think of adding to the elegance OF his count
ing-room by laying down square ofBrussels.
Only those churches devoted to the service OF
the more aristocratic worshipers are fur-
nished with the comforts OF Kidderminster,
the bare wood or bricks or stone being con
! sidered more consonant with the self-denying
| duties of the sanctuary. "..''''' q.
Widely different is It with the well-to-do
American. He believes in enjoying life; and
| considering that carpets contribute to life's
| enjoyment, he does not hesitate to spread
| every-where he is accustomed to tread with
due quantity of three-ply, or tapestry, OF
Brussels, or Turkey. Notwithstanding the
high cost of foreign carpetings in TINS country
{ it is yet surprising to what an extent tnes'
are annually imported. .,.-.st, ,,-ga
In 1859 more than two million dollars
worth of carpetings was imported into thu
United States. OF that amount, o.
was for goods of English manufacture, an(
$lO,3l7 for French makes. Although large

An Energetic and Successful TeIegraphie
I .lili.N Agent.

An Energetic ana SuCCesntui AViOehof"'~
-A'ii.D Agent.
A large portion of the telegraphic, CORE
spondence in the English papers is headed by
Reuters Teleqramsp The London Dispatch
thus answers the question, Who is Mr..
ReuterP
1.-THE determination and enterprise of this
gentleman are worth reference. Il dare say,
says a correspondent of a London Journal,
that few if any of our readers remember that
during the Crimean war there every now and
then came over a teleerem from Mr.. Reuter-,
who was apparently very knowing man,
with tendency TO ubiquity. People soon
began to ask, who is Mr.. Reuter- No one
could find out. He is a German Jew The
Crimean war over, Mr.. Reuter- established
himself in Cornhill, and sent out kilograms
TO the daily Journals. These were looked
upon with suspicion, none the less because
the telegramss still came without any authority
but his own. They were used very sparingly,
and the profits were inhnitesimal. gl..,
But nothing daunted, Mr.. Reuter- paid a
lyinp visit to the principal continental cities,
| orpanized an agency between them and Corn
| hiil and soon saw himself the conqueror
Telegraph wires brought him news Of the ut
most Importance, and few lucky hlts
(among which was the early receipt OF an Inn
perial speech) established his fame. Som'
papers made contract with him; others wer'
| forced to follow, and he now has telegraphi'
network around him which is like nothing els
in the world. He has, in fact, become an in
stitution. He guarantees l believe, that non
but newspaper proprietors, cabinet minister
and ambassadors shall receive the kilograms
Of late he has extended his contracts to In
dian and Australian news. Already hi
power is enormous. No one, however, ca
accuse him ofany misuse of this great power

The following letter was addressed by the
Pope to the Bishop of Messina; it was inter
cepted by one of Garibaldi's emissaries and
thus fell into his hands
Plus Pope TX sends, o venerable brother
to thee salutation and apostolical oenedlcton'
We have received from thee two. most re-
spectful letters, dated the 3lst of January
and 26th of February in which thou didst
| confirm unto us the strong and great devo-
| ton felt by thyself and all the bishops of thy
\ ecclesiastical province toward us and this
| Holy See. Now, while thou didst express
| thy affliction at our calamities and sorrows,
| we, anxious and trembling, were in fear Of
| the audaeious efforts of those who, aided by
/ potentates, and trampling with hitherto un-
heard-of shamelessness upon every divine
and human right were endeayoring to excite
the other quiet regions of Italy to revolt.
Sicily was struck and afflicted by such mis-
fortune; and then, venerable brother, it
was with the greatest grief we saw most
pernicious band of desperate men setting out
in vessels of the kingdom Of Sardinia against
those regions. The audacity OF such buc-
cancers will most certainly appear incredible
to the present and future generations; but
the silence and connivance of those whose
vessels occupied the port surpass that wick
edness. A. 'i-'
The pirates plead as their reason their de-
| sire to extend the union Of Italy; they terrify
the island with their arms, attack the roya
: armies, and, exciting the people everywhere
to rebellion, threaten to ruin all Sicily If sh'

: society is based fall to the ground If the firs

Extent of slave-Trade in Cuba.

The Philadelphia Press has letter from
Cienfuegos, dated July ID, concerning the
slave-trade in Cuba. The Trinidad referred
to is a province of that island, not the island
of the same name. The letter is as follows;
On the Both of June an American bark
landed 450 Congo River negroes at Key
Breton, sixty miles to the eastward of Casilda,
port of Trinidad. The United States steamer
Wvatdou came out of Casilda the same morn
ING, but did not see her. The bark was burned
| after the cargo was landed. The cargo was sold
| on the Key for $2U4, 900, by the owner, who
| lost three cargoes within the last year, and
| was lust about failing. He keeps the most
fashionable cafe in Trinidad. The slaves were
ightered from Key Breton to few miles. be-
low Casilda, and then landed, marched "a
the cars then, and taken up, and publicly sold
by auction in Trinidad--in the streets
heard--in lots of twenty. They brought from
twenty-three to ffty-two ounces apiece
averaging $780, The Governor of Trinidad
it is said, was perfectly cogpizant of theil
landing and sale, and is reported to have re-
ceived over $4,000 hush-money, Captain
Stanley, of the United States steamer Wydn
doh went and saw the Governor, and tount
out from him that he knew all about thei
landing. The Governor wished to talk VIII
Captain Stanley "as gentleman, (buslnes
gent, suppose) and not as captain OF tn
! Wvandou during the conference. 1t is be
lieyed that Captain Stanley has reported th
matter to the Government of the Unite
States, as it ought to be. The idea of SPANS
officials allowing such illegal acts to be 8
publicly accomplished, our Government
Z should put an end to. If we were to joi
England, it could undoubtedly be done.
