eution of the sentence pronounced against
the prisoners and approved by the President,-
not only by the Judiciary but the friends and
relatives of the felons, who were persistent IN
this behalf down to late hour on the day of
the execution --also the firm, unwavering
course pursued by the President on this oc-
casion, cannot fail to impress the reader
with proper estimate of his character for

spring against the life and the welfare OF the
country, on due conviction, can expect no inter-
position on his part to arrest the due course OF

(Which we expect will be laid before the coun'

concerned in this wicked transaction who are

Bay" The celebration of our National indie
pendcncc on the 18th instant throughout the
loyal States, and in many of the States lately
in rebellion, was without exception the most
hearty and enthusiastic of any like observance
which preceded it, not excepting the day on
which it was proclaimed. The 4th day of Ju-
ly, 177G-thc auspicious day on which our
country took rank among the nations. of the
earth, was in reality but her natal day,-an
introduction into the family of governments,
and III her infantilc and helpless condition
Was heartily received by many of them, as
new born tender infant is received by its fam
ily. But now, A. d. 1865, this nation so re-
Gently an infant, after passing through trials
rarely experienced by any people, has reached
its maturity-matured, vigorous and power
full: which event has given rise to an exuber-
ancc of joy and outporing of the hearts ofthe
great people composing it, in gratitude to the
Disposer of all human affairs, in manner
heretofore unequalled, and in no future event
can be surpassed.
In this part of Ohio, the 4th was not cclc-
brated with the magnifccnce which was the
criterion of the day i'll some other portions Of
our country. Our patriotic friends at Middle
port convened in much force in commemora-
ton of the event, listened to able and elo-
quent discourscs, and partook of sumptuous
viands prepared for the occasions and the hills
north of this city reverhcrated with the hap.
py and merry voices of Our numerous citizens,
including the "Sons of Temperance" who as,
sembled to do like honor to the OCCASION
| Over the way--wc mean the cold Wdter Hqui1
pay-on the hills of West Virginia slopiny to
the river, our good patriotic neighbors-who
in the manifestations of loyalty are never
second bcst'-also gave evidence ofwhat dis
enthrallcI Virginians can do; their flag was
'thar,' displaying its stars and beautiful pro-
portions to the bcholders OH either Shore sa-
luted by the sonorous discharge of cannon
throughout the obscrvanccs of the day; and
the citizens of Mason City, in connection
with visitors from the interior, also had their
share of sentiment AMI good cheer,-in all
which we desired to participate, and most GER
tainly would have done so, had it not been for
the excessive heat Of the day.
In all parts of the country, all manner Of
means were invoked to give interest and eclu'
to the occasion. Cincinnati, Chicago Phila,
dolphin and New York, in preparation and
display were unrivalled; but we conclude that
the great attraction p edominated at Gettys
burg, Pa, where with the many thousands as
semblcd were mingled the great officials Of
the day, to do honor to the memory of the
gallant dead, who died in the service of theil
country at the late great battle at that place ant
to rear the monument marking their last rest
ing place, that posterity may do them honor

The Pacific Railroad.

Notwithstanding the amount both of men
and money required for the prosecution OF the
late war with rebellion, it is subject for pleas
ant reflection, that the internal improvements
in contemplation at the time these troubles
were forced upon the country, were not in the
meantime suspended, but prosecuted with
vigor as though no other subject engrosscd
the public attention. In this connection we
particularly refer to the construction Of the
Atlantic and Pacific Railroad, determined up
on some years since, towards the construc.
ton of which the general government
has contribute most generously in the ap-
preparation ofunappropriatcd land lying near
the proposed Improvement.
1t will be recollccted that the act Of Con-
gress authorizing the construction of this road
through the national domain, with the use Of
her forests, defines Fort Kearney (in the Platte
Valley, Nebraska, some POO miles west of the
Missouri,) as q point of junction for three
branch roads, the first commencing at the
mouth of Kansas River in the State of Kan
sas, the second at Omaha City on the Mssou-
ri in Nebraska Territory, and the third from
Sioux City, Northwest Iowa, on the Missouri
River: the first of which branches connects
with the St. Louis Railroad, and is already
completed on which the cars are now
running to Lawrence City Kansas, consider.
ably inland, beyond which the work is pro.
crossing with great spirit. The second branch
or middle road, has already been graded for
sixty miles inland from Omaha, and is de-
signed to connect with the Hannibal Il St.
Joe road, already in operation across the
northern portion of Missouri, and also with q
road already constructed in part from Burling
ton, Iowa. which will soon be completed,
we Judge from recent manifestations ano
the third branch is destined to connect witt
roads centering at Dubuque, Iowa, already
: in part finished, seeking connection
with Sioux City. The above three brancl
roads, when they shall reach completion, whicl

at Fl Kearney, the future channel of commn

Operations on the grand trunk on Pacific

industry, and we believe the time is not far

has given assurances Of largely contributing
towards the construction of the road through

The completion of this national work will
not only evidence the power and grandeur OF

be constructed, but will cement and strength

our intercourse and commercial relations with

e@- In describing the celebration of the
4th,in Cincinnati, the Gazette rema, ks in re-
lation to the balloon ascension
"Prof Steiner made very picturesque as
cension from the City Park. But little air
was stirring, and the sky was cloudless The
effect Of the sunlight on the bright new color
Of the balloon was dazzling We learn from
Prof Steiner that he cross d the river above
the Little Mama Railroad depot, and re-
crossed at the Round House in Pendleton.-
The highest elevation attained was mile and
half At five thousand feet he met va
riety Of counter currents that swayed the bal
loon in every direction, whilst the main cur
rent carried il steadily northeast. In the
whole Of his career as an eronanth he has never
experienced imilarphenomenon. In thirty.
five minutes from the time of starting he
alightcd, without difficulty, on the farm OF
David Nash, cue mile west Of Plainville."

n9- Maj. Gen. Lew Wallace favors volun-
tary emigration to Mexico to assume arms
in the Liberal cause, which he declares,
"would be no Infringement, nor would it he
prevented by President johnson. He encour-
ages the measure on the ground that Presi-
dent Juarez is fighting our battles" that the
neutrality of the United States Government
is a recognition of Macmillan, and that the
conduct Of Napoleon in Mexico is fraud
upon England and Spain, and violation of
the tripartite Convention of those powers with
France in 1861. The General goes into
long history of French aggression in Mexico,
and strongly urges that now is the time, while
the Juarez Government still exists, for Amer
leans to throw their power on its side. He
thinks that the fraternization of the North and
South will be facilitated by foreign war.

requested by Mr.. Stanton to remain until
Wednesday, when he will leave for New York,
if the Secretary is able to resume his duties.
LATER FROM EUROPE.
Great Britain. The English papers are un-
usually silent ON American affairs. The At
lantic cable was on board the Great Eastern,
and as soon as the balance Of the paying out
machinery was put up, the telegraph feet
would sail for Valentia and it was hoped be-
fore the departure from Valentia, United
States Government steamer would Join them.
The vessels will probably leave valentia on
the 10th of July, and arrive at hearts Con.
tent, Trinity Bay, about the 24th of July.
The Directors of the company have decided
on the following uniform tariff between all
points of the United States and British North
America:
To Great Britain-s20 for 20 words or less
and 81 for each additional word.
To the Continent of Europe-f2l for &c
words, and FL Is. for each additional word.
To Asia and Africa-f25 for 20 words, an6
fl 5s. for each additional word

be counted and charged for in messages-
Messages for places in Asia and Africa te
which the telegraph does not extend will b.
forwarded by the first mail, postage paid
Messages in cipher will be charged double
these rates.
The Directors are convinced that unless
they charge high prices at first there will b.

prove continuous, will be calculated to inter-
fere with the interests of this section of coun-
try to no inconsiderable extent In the Lc-
high Valley of Pennsylvania, the immediate
effect of the bad policy pursued by the last
Congress is most pointed and marked, and in
dicates clearly what may be looked for in
case such course shall be persisted in by those
in power; in this state of doubt and hesita
ton, the eyes of the country are directed tc
the incoming Congress, from whomit expects
and indeed demands suitable consideration
and redress, which we believe will not be in
vain.

The Assassination Conspiracy
Last Act i'm the Tragedy-Execu'
tiOn of Four COnspiratOrs.

Especial Dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazettc.]
Washington, July THE assassination
tragedy has at length come to close. The
curtain has fallen upon the lifeless forms of
four of its actors At an early hour this
morning symptoms that an unusual occur
renee was impending were visible, yet the in
dications were more those of holiday than
such as befitted so solemn an occasion.
When the sentences were officially promul.
gated yesterday, the friends and relatives Of
the conspirators began to flock to the White
House to plead for respite. The counsel Of
Mrs Surratt, the spiritual adviser of the con-
demned and number of Others, whose sym
pathy with treason or its victimized tools was
their only reason for interfering, were among
the pleaders for clemency. The President de
cided that the only reason for reprieve which
could properly be considered must rest on pure
ly legal grounds, such as the production of i'm
portant and hitherto unknown evidence, il
that were possible, and therefore referred the
whole matter to the judgment of Judge Advo
cate General Holt, No such reasons could be
produced Miss Anna Surratt, who had visit
ed the Executive Mansion last evening, en-
deavoring to obtain an interview with the Pres
dent, again repaired thither, accompanied By
lady friend, between eight and nine O'Clock
this morning. The President having given ord
ers that he would receive no one to-day, sht
was stopped at the foot of the steps leading
to the Presidents office. Finding she coulo
not get any further, she asked to see Genera
Mussey, the Presidents Military Secretary :
He at once came down, when Miss s., witt
streaming eyes and agonizing sobs, threw her
self upon her knees, seized him by the Goa
and begged him to aid her in obtaining an in
terview with the President As tenderly al
possible she was told that as the orders to ad
init no one were imperative, it was impossible
to grant her request
