Fort KEARNEY, Oct. 3l.-The Missouri
and Western telegraph line is completed to
this place, and We are now in direct com.
munication with st. Louis. The lines are
prepared to receive and forward dispatches
to and from California in connection with
the Pony Express, which delivers them at
the eastern terminus Of the Placeville tele.
graph line, over which they can be tele-
graphed over any part of California. The
tariff from St. Louis to any part is Sc, 40
for the first ten words,and twenty three cents
for each additional word. Telegraph con.
nections can be made with the Pony Ex-
press at St. Joe as heretofore, but day and
a half and sometimes two days can be saved
by making this connection at Fort Kearney

By GEORGE D. PRENTICE.

At OArmels mount the prophet laid
His offering on the altar.stone,
And fire descended from the skies,
And round the holy altar shone; % 5as
And thus, when Spring went smiling past,
Onr offerings on the earth were cast.
And Gods own blessing has come down,
Our sacrifice of faith to crown. lt
No conqueror DER fields has gone, l..,.
To blast with war our summer bowers,
And stain with blood Of woe and guilt,
Z, The soil that giveth life to flowers;
But morning dews and evening rains
Have fallen on our beauteous plains,
And earth, through all her realms abroad,
Gives back the image of her God.
Bright with the Autumn's richest tints,
Each hill lifts up its head on high,
And spreads its fruits and blossoms out,
An Offering meet beneath the sky;
And hill, and plain. and vale, and grove,
Join in the sacrifice of love,
Lift high their wings of ecstacy.
It is the festival of earth
The flame of love DER Nature burns,
And to the holy heavens goes up
Like incense from thousand urns;
And oh, let mans impassioned voice,
With Natures self, in song rejoice,
Until the blended notes of love
Ring from the temple.arch above.

Should Lincoln he elected II ia now noa.

+.
Should Lincoln be elected, it is now pos
itively asserted that Secretaries Cobb and
Thompson will resign, and retire to Georgia
and Mississippi, to assist in the preparations
for secession. The Secretary Of War, Gov.
Floyd, and the Postmaster General, Col.
Holt-the one of Virginia and the other of
Kentucky-have determined to remain at
their posts, and to stand by the Union, and
against those who seek its overthrow. The
course of the Secretary of War will be
closely watched by patriots in all parts of
the country. He will be compelled to take
the initiative either for or against South
ern traitors-and I am grati6ed to state
will not disappoint patriotic expectations.
1t is said be has not fully made up bis mind
as to what course he will assume in the
event Of the formal secession of entire States,
particularly if such secession shall be the
apparent act of the people, but he will re.
SYST and punish all cases of violent or indi-
vidual treason. The difficulty, at the start,
will be how to prevent secession.
Edward Bates, of Missouri, and Senator
Simmonds, of Rhode Island-two of the
most conservative men in the country-be.
gin to be favorably named, the one for At
torney General, and the other for Secretary
of the Treasury, under the administration
of Lincoln, should the ballot boxes decide
in his favor.
Special Dispatch to the New York Times.
WARRINGTON, Oct. 20.
One of the most prominent of the foreign
diplomatic corps closed bis dispatches, to-
day, to bis government in these words
"There will be an election, but there will be
no disunion." The foreign diplomatists
here ridicule the idea of disunion, and ex-
press every confidence in the perpetuity and
continued prosperity of this government,
while all classes of our own people are APP
prehensive of serious danger.
1t is understood here that secession can
be accomplished peaceably, as the admins.
tration is unit in its opposition to any at
tempt to hold the Union together by force.
The peaceable secession of one or more
states, it is said, would not disturb the. OPP
erations Of the federal government, while
single blow to prevent it would rend the
Union to atoms.
The confidence of several of the largest
bidders for the Government loan is giving
way, and considerable alarm is expressed.
A gentleman passed through here yesterday
with $4,000 in Virginia bonds, for the
New York market, and predicted that in
ten days half a million of Southern bonds
would be offered in Wall street in exchange
for gold.
We have rumor from the West that
Mr.. Breckenridge is nearly crazy at the
ruin his nomination has brought on the
Democratic party, and charges that he was
over persuaded to accept by President Bu-
chanan and Senator Slidell.
Advices received to-day from New York
encourage the Fusionists to believe they
will run Lincoln very close in that State, if
they do not beat him. Democratic stock
may be quoted with slight advance.
Gen. Houston will be rendered the War
Department by Mr.. Lincoln. So say promi-
nent Republicans here.

The Death Of q Chlld...TouchinV
Sketchs

The following paragraphs, from the pen
of B. F. Taylor, of the Chicago Journal,
on the death of child, are full of consola
ton to the living, and as beautifully writ.
ten as true af
1t went in the mornings bright and
radiant morning, many went yesterday, more
to-day, and there are dews to be shed for
the departures of tomorrow. And can
it be wondered that pleasant summer morn
ings should beguile them into going? Is it
q marvel that they do not wait for the bur-
den and the noon, but follow the lark, and
hear her song over the ruin of the rainbow
That those words so beautiful, they should
make SO true, "and joy cometh in the morn
ing" ...... ..
Going in the morning! A glorious morn
ing-when the sky is all in beauty, and the
world in all bliss ere the dews have gone
to heaven, or the stars have gone to God ;
when the birds are singing, and the cool
winds are blowing, and the flowers are out
that will be shut at noon, and the clouds
that are never rent in rain, and the shadows
inlaid with crimson lie away to the west.
We have sometimes seen a little coffin,
like casket for jewels, all alone by itself in
huge hearse, melancholy with plumes and
gloomy as frown-and we have thought
not so should we accompany those little
way who 60 in the morning. We have
wondered why they did not take the little
coffin into the carriage with them, and lay
it gently upon their laps, the sleeper there
lulled to slumber without bosom or era
die. We have wondered what there was for
years in such going-in the early morning
from home to home-like fair white doves
with downy wings emerging from neither
night and futtering for entrance at the vim
dows of heaven. Never has there been a
hand wanting to take the wanderer in and
shut out darkness and the storm.
Upon these little faces it never seemed to
us that death could place his great seal /;
there is no thought of the charnel.house in
those young listeners to that invitation
whose acceptance we are bound not to for.
bid there should be morning songs and not
signs; no tears nor clouds, but bright dews
and bright dawnings together.
fOld up the white r0oe lay aside the
forgotten toy smooth the little Impressed
pillow, and gently smile as you think of the
garment of the harp Of gold, and of the
fair brow with its diadem of light smile
as you think no years can make that men,
DRY old. An eternal, guiltless child, wait
ing about the threshold of Paradise for the
coming friends from home. Here the glad
lips would culver with anguish the bright
curls grow grizzle and gray the young
heart weary and old but there, change
less as the stars, and young as the last new
morning.
The poet tells of green bough rent by
the tempest from the tree, and swept rudely
along the breast of an angry river, and a
mother bird, with cries of grief futtering
beside it, for her nest and nestlings were
there. All! better to be waited away from
the earth than thus that they should drift
around the world in storm.

The POPULATION OF VERMoNT.-Suffi.
cient returns of the late census have been
received to show that the population of
Vermont has decreased since the census of
1850. In four counties the losses amount to
4413, and in two other counties the gains
are 3443, showing real loss of about q
thousand. The totalloss of the State it is
thought may be four or FIVE thousand. This
is, we believe, the first instance in the his
tory of the country, where the population
of State has receded in the course of ten
years.

The following letters, which are genuine,

AUBURN, Oct. Is, 1860.
Mr.. F. DoUGLAs-DEAR SIR l take
the opportunity to address you few lines
as follows: have been informed that you
had an onely daughter, and that you de-
sired her to marry Wright man where
upon you Civ $4,000 or $4,000 dollars to
any respectable Wright man that would
marry her and cherish her through life. II
there is any truth in this report, P. S. let
me know and l will marry your daughter
on those conditions, and will endeavor to
make myself agreeable.
Yours respectfully, CHARLES HAPP.
Direct to Charles Happ, Auburn, NY
ROCHESTER, Oct. 1e, 1860.
CHAs. HAPP, Esq-DEAR SIR: You
are an entire stranger to me, and direct me
to no one from whom I can learn your real
character and responsibility. This, if no
other difficulty existed, would seriously en-
barass me in making favorable answer to
your proposition. You shonld have at
least given me one respectable reference.
The fact that you have not done so, with
other circumstances connected with your
letter, makes it quite doubtful whether 1
could honorably accede to your proposition.
You date from Auburn, and tell me to d.
rect to you at Auburn, but do not name
the street. Pardon me for regarding this
as suspicious circumstance. You may be
an inmate of the state prisoner on your
way there-a fact which you see would in.
terfere with the fulfllment of your part of
the proposed bargain, even if 1 could fulfill
the part you assign to me. You want fif-
teen or twenty thousand dollars. This is a
common want, and you are not to blame for
using all honorable means to obtain it. But
candor requires me to state, that if you were
in every respect suitable person to be
bought, for the purpose you name, l have
not the amount required to buy you. 1
have no objection to your complexion but
there are certain little faults of your
grammar and spelling, as we'll as other
points, in your letter, which compel me to
regard you as person, by education, man
ners, and morals, as wholly unfit to associ-
ate with my daughter in any capacity what.
ever. You evidently think your white skin
of great value. l don't dispute it; it is
probably the best thing about you. Yet
not even that valuable quality can commend
you sufficiently to induce even so black a
negro as myself to accept you as his son.in-
law. Respectfully,
FREDERICK DOUGLASS.

New YORK, Nov. 2.-The Northern
Light reports the sloops- of-war Lancaster
and st. Mary's at Panama, and the steam.
ship Brooklyn and storeship Falmouth
Aspinwall on the 25th.
Advices from Valparaiso are to the I'd,
and from Oalao to the 18th.
The steamer Moses Taylor had touched
at Leta. The ultimatum of the American
port had been rejected by Peru so far as the
Lizzie Thompson, Georgian and Saratoga
claims. This refusal would compel the
American minister to demand his passports.
The ship Lucy Ann Kate, was partially
burned on the 5th of October, at Callao.
A frightful accident occurred on the 10th,
on the dry dock at San Corinzo, involving
the entire loss of the Peruvian frigate
Callao, and a great loss of life. She was
being docked with the cargo on board when
some staunchions of the dock gave way,
causing her to pitch over, when she rapidly
filled with water.
A great number of people, including men,
women and children, and the sick in the
hospital, all persisted. All the particulars
were not known at the date of advices, but
it was believed that the number killed
would reach $50. The number wounded
with broken heads, arms and legs was very
great. The Callao was A gun frigate,
built at Blackwell, England, six years ago.
The dry dock was also damaged and rend-
cred useless.
The revolution in Bolivia was suppressed.
Several officers had been shot.
Advices from Nicaragua state that the
news of Walkers capture reached there on
the 30th September, causing much rejoicing.
Martinese was again at the head of affairs
Mr.. Dimetry was pressing the government
for convention to settle American claims,
but unsuccessfuly. Martinese, however,
had consented to call meeting Of Congress
on the 18th of September, so that the
ratification of the treaty might be effected
within the time specified.
Vanderbilt had made the Government an
offer of transit. Not accepted.
Advices from Godaquil state that Flores
was disbandipg but the Peruvian President
was still hostile to him. The United States
steamship Naraganseth had left for Pana-
ma.
A difficulty had arisen between the Unit
ed States naval forces at Panama and
American officers and citizens had been ar
rested for refusing to answer the challange
of the British guard stationed in the street.
Communications had passed between flag
officer Montgomery, and the British Com
mander. The result was not known.
A fresh alarm occurr at Panama on the
night of the 22nd, in consequence Of re-
port that Lacho was coming with party
Of negroes to sack the city. Troops were
under arms all night, but nothing happened.
New rumors, however, continued to circu
late, and the city was kept in state of ex.
element.
