first opportunity since setting it up. You know how
well pleased was with the instrument in all respects
by my almost instantly deciding upon it. My wife,
however, was SO wrapped up in tho Piano we pre-
vlously bought Of you, that she would not admit the
possibility of anything short Of Grand exceeding
its charming qualities until the new one was permit
ted to sing its own praise This did it do for q whole
evening, taking all captive who permitted the
pleasure of listening to its delightful voice. for such
it is, no piano tone. but true voice tone.
In truth the instrument IS, in all those respects
which make perfect pianoforte pre-eminently su.
perior to any one we have ever before possessed or
known. and, this you may consider 8 compliment,

Which will be sufficient to duplicate lines to ALL or
nearly ALL the paying points reached by the present
monopoly.
The present telegraph Companies of the country
have been consolidated into one huge monopoly,
and are now earning over six millions of dollars per
year or over one hundred per cent on the actual
cost of their lines their present capital having been
watered over one thousand per cent.
The National Telegraph Company have recog
milton from the United States Government OF the
Importance of their enterprise, with grant of the
most valuable franchises ever conferred upon
Telegraph Company. No competing line has ever
had the right now granted by congress to this Com
pany to construct and operate lines every Rail
road and Mail Route in the United States The posi-
ton of this Company differs from that of any com
pany ever before organized. The question of the
right Of way is forever settled.

of Congress under which this company has been
organized, prohibits any transfer of the franchises
granted.

ABDuoTIoN OF FREEDMEN.


They Sail from Key West for the Florida
Ceast, but are Carried to Matanxns, to
he Sold Into sIavery-Arrest Of the
RidnaPpers, and Return to Key West
in Irons.
About twenty freedmen who engaged at
Key West to go down the Florida coast to
cut timber there, sailed last week on the
brig Pat Cleburne and the small schooner
Lost Cause, but their pretended employers,
instead Of proceeding to the Florida coast,
run the vessels into Matanzas, where it is
presumed the intention of the kidnappers
was to sell them into slavery.
The names of the parties engaged in the
EefaIious transaction are B. Preston, Of
South Carolina, c. Ellet. of Charleston.
South Carolina, J. A. or J. H. Smith, Of
Natcbez, or Yicksburg, Mississippi, John
Colman, of Mississippi, and William Allen,
of Richmond, Virginia.
After the arrival Of the vessels at Matan-
zas the United States consul directed his
efforts 10 capture the kidnappers aud pro-
tect their victims. Smith and Colman
escaped. reston, Ellet, and Allen were
captured and sent TO Key West in irons.
1t was expected that Smith and Colman
would also be captured, as it would be
almost impossible for them to get off from
the island. The freedmen were sent back
to Key West. We learn these particulars
from Mr.. J. c. Wilcox, who has just arrived
from Key West.
There have been strong suspicious for a
long time that parties were engaged in
kidnapping freedmen on the Florida
coast and running them over to Cuba. 1t
is hoped that the captured persons will be
punished to the fullest extent Of the law.
The names of the vessels which they
employed to pursue their wicked occupa-
ton of slave-trading and converting free
American citizens into bondsmen, were
most appropriate" Pat Cleburne,n one Of
the confederate chieftains, and the Lost
Cause" What will not bad men do to
avenge themselves on the race they despise
because they are now free !

A new enterprise to be known as the Nation

Telegraph on all the principal railroads and mail
