le,ter-writing world, than to be leading
the insurgent divisions There is not
one word in the note in praise Of Mr.
Clay, and this is another evidence of the
good taste Of the writer. Mr.. Clay was
great il not greatest as the champion of
that Union against which Gen. Lee, in
an unfortunate moment of weakness, was
betrayed into levying war. Some men,
under similar circumstances, would have
been profuse in their praises Of the illus
trious Senator. The reticenco OF Gen.
Lee is a more significant recognition OF
Mr.. Clay's most important public SER
vices than whole reams of biographical
rapture would have afforded. He is en-
titled to this credit, and we gratefully
accord IL 10 him. .Hr.rH Ia

Important Telegraph Decision.

a DETROIT, MICH, July l3.-Ahother I'm
portant decision relating TO telegraph COM
panies has just been rendered by the Su-
preme Court of this State, in the case OF
the Western Union Telegraph Company
VS.. Carew, an appeal from the Wayne Cir
cult Court. Carew telegraphed to Balti-
more tor forty cases of oysters. In the
transmission an error occurred whereby he
received four cases instead of forty. The
message was written on one of the compa-
ny's blanks, with the usual printed head
ing, containing the conditions on which
messages are taken for transmission.
The Circuit Court held that the tele-
graph company were liable for the DAM
age suffered by Carew, treating the COM
pany as common carriers, and Carew as
not bound by the conditions, unless his at
tention was particularly called to them.
The Supreme Court reVerses this decis-
ion, holding that the telegraph company
are not common carriers, and that they
have a right to establish any reasonable
rules governing their liability in the i'm

EMIdRAT1oN.-We doubt If any of our
readers have considered the great increase
in the number of German emigrants to this
country since the accession by Prussia of
soaarge portion of Austria's territory as
was acquired by that Kingdom during the
late war. G. H. Campen, the efficient emf
grant agent in this city, informs us that
this increase is caused by the fact that those
Germans born under the rule of Austria
refuse to serve in the Prussian land,oehr, or
militia, from which that army is recruited
They prefer rather to emigrate. This idea
is borne out by the fact that nearly all the
emigrants for the pastsix months have / cen
