A JOURNEY UNDER PARIS "A correspondent
OF Swedish journal furnishes an interesting
accounted asubterranean voyage m ade through
one OF the admirably constructed sewers of
Pans. The boat which conveyed the party
was reached by descending a flight of stems N
the depth OF about fOrty-6ve feet. The boat. a
nat bottomed affair, was lighted by four lamps.
Inc sewer Is an archway, fifteen feet high. and
OF equal breadth. with a ditch or canal about
ten feet wide, wherein all the dirt and filth of
Paris Is carried away. On tho sides are side
walks, which, together, are about four feet
wide The whole is built of beautiful white
sandstone, and is kept perceptible. The den
ser portion OF the nth Is carried away through
large drains beneath the sidewalks. The side
walks are excellent, and exhibited no signs of
dampness, while the walls of the archway are
kept whitewashed, and are at all times as white
as snow The structure possesses the properties
OF an immense speaking tube, the yorkmep

miles from each other The echo is very strong
and lasting. The fabric is said to be built aSte2
model OF the catacombs of Rome, aided by all
the latest improvements. On both sides, at

velocity. Large reservoirs are constructed AT
intervals, into which the water can be turned
Tor short time In case il should be necessary
to have the canal dry for a little while. The
whole work was completed in two wears. Be.
sides the main canal, there are MANY minor
ones constructed under the principal streets
all OF which can be made to cOmmunicste with
one another. These admirable UNDERGROUND
works are accessible from the Louvre. the Tuil.

Arrival of the Overland Mail.

ST.. LOUIS, June 26.
The Overland Mail brings the missing
package of telegraph news via Vesila, on the
night of the 5th.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 5.
The steamer Golden Age sailed for Pan
anna with 400 passengers, and $l,690,000 in
treasure-$l $50, 900 for New York.
The regulars and volunteers, under Hays
and Stewart, attacked 500 Indians on the
afternoon of the I'd, near Pyramid lake. The
Indians were defeated with loss of 70
killed and several wounded. Two volun-
teers killed and three wounded-Capt Sto.
yer, mortally. Three regulars wounded,
and one killed. The battle was not decisive
and another was soon expected.
The battle ground where Maj. Ormsby s
party was defeated two weeks ago has
been visited and twenty bodies inferred

slider what is their interest 1t is against
the interest of both parties, in every contest,
to 60 to war, but nations constantly do it
Notwithstanding the fact. 1t is against the
interest of men to fight duels, but they often
do it when they know that ruin, both to
themselves and families, stares them full in

they consider their rights trampled upon,

Finding that the venerable statesman
had exhausted his strength in talking, we
rose to bid him adieu, as we supposed, for
the last time upon earth. He shook the
hands of both of US, and said : If you
preachers will only keep the churches from
running into fanaticism, I think the politi-

The Contest at the South.

The contest at the South in 1860 will be
a glorious one. Lincoln will not be in the
field there,-that is not directly. The dis
unionists will make a feeble effort in bis
behalf, but it will be a failure. In Virginia
the flag of Douglas and johnson will be
borne by Letcher, Moffat, Bocock, a
Pryor, and gallant hQsbo never defeated
Democrats. In North Carolina it will have
Clingman, Ried, and an army OF equally
effective leaders. In Georgia, Stephens,
johnson and Gardner, and the entire Demo.
cratic press will drive the disunionists from
every field. In Alabama, Forsythe and
Winston will lead the Democracy to an easy
victory. In Louisiana, the native vote of
the original French stock will unite with the
great body of the Democratic party, and
give Douglas majority unequaled in that
State. In Arkansas, FIournoy and john
son and Hooper and Rust will lead the De-
mocracy to victory. In Missouri, Douglas
will have an easy victory. Lincoln will be
a candidate there, but Missouri will roll up
not less than twenty-five thousand majority
for Douglas. In Tennessee and Kentucky,
there can be no doubt of victory. The
bones of jackson and of Clay will not rest
quietly in their graves while men are can
wasting those States asking the people to
enlist in the cause of disunion!
We say to our friends, have no apprehen-
sions respecting the South. Douglas and
johnson will beat the disunionists in
every Southern State, except, possibly,
South Carolina. In that State the people
do not vote for President. Douglas will
have from 100 to 112 Southern electoral
votes. In less than six weeks there will be
no opposing candidate at the South.
Let the North do its duty. Let Illinois
Indiana, Iowa, Wisconsin, Ohio, and Min.
nesota respond to the IS votes certain to be
cast for Douglas from New York, and the
victory will be complete-a total extinction
of fanaticism and disunionism in both sec,
lions of the country.-Chicago Times.

Dean Richmond.

The World, the new journal of New
York, thus describes the famous DEAN
RICHMOND:
The master spirit of the New York dele
cation is man who plays the game of poll
itics, because he loves the sport, entering
into it with as much heartiness and as little
idea of personal advantage 10 himself, as
stout English lord lets loose his hounds and
mounts his horse for the chase-we mean
Dean Richmond. Incapable of making
speech, unable even to express himself gram.
matically in colloquial intercourse, inter-
spersing and deforming his conversation
with explosives of which it is the mildest
possible censure to say that they are need
less, destitute of education or other early
advantages, he has nevertheless, for some
years, welded greater political influence
than any other man of his party in this
State. He is very cool and very keen
political observer; he reads character by
sort of intuition; he is wary and reticent
where anything would be hazarded by pre-
maturely divulgipg his schemes. With
these elements Of political strategist, he
unites another, which is the main secret of
his power,-a rare facility in meeting an
emergency, and extricating his friends
from apparently hopeless difficulties. His
stout, burly form, and broad, heavy face,
of which a peculiar nose and sagacious
looking eye are the most striking features,
are always seen in private parlor at one
of the Syracuse hotels, when Democrats
hold State convention. The tactics of the
hour are never determined on until be has
been consulted, and the counsels that issue
from his headquarters have almost the force
of mandates Naturally fond of power,
keenly enjoying the great political influence
he exerts, be will not accept or even allow
himself to be thought of for Office. Perhaps
he feels that any but very important Of
fee would belittle him, and that his educa-
ton does not qualify him for the highest
positions. 1t is certain that he has always
preferred to be the trusted counsellor and
recognized manager of bis party, In this
relation he has long enjoyed the intimacy
of such men as the late Gov. Marcy, Gov.
Seymour, and the OTHER leading Democratic
statesmen of New York. Fully sensible of
the value Of the "spoils'' as a means of in.
huence, he seeks no emolument for himself,
while the wealth lie has acquired by his
business capacity enables him to give SUBJ
stantial aid to all contributions for party
objects and to bis credit be it spoken,
politician as he is, the poor have had fire.

Grand COl0red Wedding in st Louis
..AristOcratic Nuptials.

The St. Louis Republican of the 18th
inst, contains long account of wedding
in that city, which is considered as rivalling
the Oviedo- Bartlett affair. We extract the
following:
The nuptials of Mr.. Felix Doyle (colored)
with Miss Theodosia Hazlitt (colored) of
this city, took place on Tuesday evening
last, at the Cathedral on Walnut street,
Father Ryan officiating. Somewhat before
the appointed hour an unusual activity was
observed in front of the church. There was
long array of carriages there, and upon
the broad pavement stood, in knots, several
scores of elaborate attired masculines of va.
rious tinges of skin, embracing the hues of
the chestnut, cinnamon, citron, cinder, cloud
and charcoal. Soon the bridal party ar
rived in elegant vehicles, and on entering
found a company of nearly one thousand per-
sons, including many of both sexes, known
as among the Oldest white families of the
city, drawn thither either from motives Of
curiosity or because of their long acquain-
lance with the parental relatives of the hap
Ply couple.
The bridegroom was fine looking rich
young man, twenty-four years ofage, dressed
in superb and faultless style.
The bride is a blooming and pretty quad
ron of seventeen, of aristocratic lineage, and
the pride of mother with it is said, sixty
thousand dollars, who lives in grand style
on Franklin avenue. She was attired in a
gorgeous white silk dress, with the custo.
mary bridal adornments of honiton and va
lenciennes, and was decorated with daz-
zling profusion of diamonds and jewelry.
The four groomsmen were also deliberately
dressed in plain white, and being all young
and handsome, elected general admiration.
The wedding over, the bride and groom,
the mother and sister of the bride, the mother
of the bridegroom, and invited guests to the
number of about two hundred, repaired to
the residence of the brides mother, and there
partook of magnificent supper. After
this and the usual congratulations, the joy
Gus company tripped the light fantastic toe
till morning, and separated in fine spirits.
Last night an entertainment was given by
the ew-made husband on a scale of the
grandest magnifcence, to which more than
three hundred persons were invited.
The "colored population" of the city, it is
supposed, will not stop talking of this stu
pendous wedding for some time. 1t will be
an epoch for them to date from.

Cosr OF STEAM COMMUNICATION WITH
EURoPE.-Few persons have any adequate
notion of the cost Of running hrst-class
steamers between the United States and
Europe. The three largest now employed
in this service are the English steamer Persia
and the American steamers Adriatic and
Vanderbilt; and none of these can make a
trip to Europe and return at smaller ex-
penditure than from $4,000 to $55 900 ex-
elusive of depreciation. Any one Of the
steamers above named consumes l2O or 100
tons of coal per day, making the expense of
fuel alone about $4,000. From these facts,
some calculation can easily be made as to
the amount of patronage necessary to render
line self-sustaining, when kept up to the
high speed and in the luxurious style essen:
tial between New York and England.

A STEAMBOAT THIEF CAUGHT AND Hu

A STEAMBOAT THIEF CAUGHT AND HUNG.
The Baton Rouge Uouisiana) Advocate,
of the 18th inst says: There was lively
excitement at the wharf this morning, occa-
stoned by man who jumped ashore from
the steamer Baltic and put off at full speed,
holly pursued by number of the passen-
gers and crew Of the boat. The pursued
man was overtaken at the Gross Tete House
by his pursuers and forcibly taken aboard,
his loud cries for mercy being unheeded.
He proved to be of the river fraternity, and
had been freely exercising bis skill on the
pockets of the passengers, several of whom
be had already relieved of their purses. The
last seen of the rascal as the boat steamed
up the river was with halter about bis
neck and his feet dangling some distance
from the floor of the lower deck. Whether
be was cut down or suffered to hang to
death, we have not heard"

Our Country's Greatest Source of
Danger.

We take from the April number of the
Pacific Erposltor, the following interesting
sketch of an interview between Henry Clay
and Rev. DR.. Hill, editor of the Presbyterian
Herald, of Louisville, Kentucky. 1t is
written under the above caption, as fol-
lows :
ga few weeks prior to the death of the
Hon. Henry Clay, when be passed through
our city, on his way to Washington at the
request of a Methodist minister from one
of the northern states, who had never seen
the greatest statesman, we called with him
to see him. He was quite feeble and spoke
Of his death as probable event in few
months. He stated that nothing but deep
and abiding conviction that the union of the
states was in imminent peril could have in
duced him, in his state of health, to leave
the quiet OF his own home and 60 back to
the Senate, the seat OF so many of his strug-
giles and great achievements. The opinion
was expressed by one or both of US that the
danger of disuniOn was greatly Overestima-
ted, and that if it ever came to the test it
would be found that there were very few
who would be mad enough to rush into dis
union, either in the north or in the south.
He shook his head Omnously and replied
Gentlemen, if | have studied anything it
is the genius and spirit of the American
people, both in the North and the South,
and / tell you there is danger. There is
spirit rising up in both sections of this Re-
public, which if not speedily quelled, will
bring about severance of the union of
these states, not in two, but in half dozen
little petty republics, or despotisms, as the
case may be-" 1t was replied that on sew
eral former occasions the north and the
south had been arrayed against each other
in bitter hostility, but that the hostility had
died away and the parties restored to more
than their former friendly relations. "Ah,"
said he, 'that was before the rise of modern
abolitionism. Fanaticism cannot be con-
troled, and especially religious fanaticism
The churches of the country then stood
together, and in their great annual assem-
blies they drew the bonds of the union and
brotherhood together. Now most of them
have been rent asunder, and they are acting
as dividers rather than to bind the country"
Said he, Gentlemen, you are both of you
ministers OF the gospel, and tell you that
this sunderlng OF the religious ties, which
have hitherto bound our people together,
consider the greatest source of danger to
our country. If our religious men cannot
live together in peace what can be expected
of us politicians, very few of whom profess
to be governed by the great principle of
love?"
"If all the churches divide on the subject
of slavery, there will be nothing left to bind
our people together but trade and CON-
merce. That" said he, "is very power
full bond, I admit, but when the people Of
these States become thoroughly alenated
from each other, and get their passions
aroused, they are not apt to stop and con-
