New York, Friday, August 6, 18958. —————————————— o The News. , The grand event of the age is consammated. The Great problem of the present generation is solved The eavants of to-day may now exclaim, with greater reason than the philosopher of old, “Eureka!” ‘The Old and the New Worlds are connected by that most mysterious and wonderful of all agencies— electricity. Past failures have only intensified the public joy at the present success. The ships of the third expedition, which left Queenstown on the 17th of July, and which started from mid-ocean on the 29th, to make the fourth attempt to lay the cable, arrived at their respective destinations—Trinity Bay, Newfoundland, and Valentia Bay, Ireland— on Wednesday evening, and yesterday the two continents were in connection with each other. No verbal communications, we believe, have passed as yet, the rule being that the electri- cians should only test the continuity until ali the arrangements for the transmission of messages are made. Those will be completed to-day, we presume, and the European news of to-day will probably be published in the Heraxp of to-morrow. The first message that is to he conveyed through these myste- rious wires, now coiled in the ocean's depths, is to be a greeting from Qucen Victoria to President Buchanan. We give cisewhere a résumé of the entire undertaking. The ciection in Kansas took place on Monday last. We have returns from Leavenworth and Kickapoo In Leavenworth the English proposition was reject- ed by rearly a unanimous vote. This was expected. In Kickapoo there were ninety votes for the proposi- tion, and fifty-three against it. A week will elapse probably before we shall learn the result throughout the Territory. We have later news from Utah. The Territory ‘was perfectly tranquil, and the federal officers were in high favor with the Mormons. None of the sol- diers of Gen. Johnston's arfhy were allowed to eater Balt Lake City, and strict orders had been issued prohibiting any interference with the Mormons. The Peace Commissioners had left for Washington. We have news from Tampico, Mexico, to the 19th wit. The government troops under Miramon had triamphed over the insurrectienary troops at Queretaro, but were subsequently defeated. Pue- blita, a constitutionalist, while retreating from Guanajuato, was attacked by Cobos, a Zuloagista, from Celaya, his forces routed, and himself and many of them taken prisoners,and he was afterwards sum- marily executed. There had been an outbreak in the districts of Sierra and Huasteca in favor of the constitutionalists, and Gen. Moreno, of Tampico, had left that city with 600 men to endeavor to suppress it. Previous to starting he issued a proclamation to the pronunciados, offering them an amnesty on con- dition of surrendering their arms. The war steamer Guerrero was at Tampico as a harbor defence. Genera! Vidaarri intended to send from San Luis Potosi 2,000 men against Guanajuato, and 4,000 more were to leave San Luis on the 12th of July for the capital. General Caravajal was on the road be- tween Tampico and Tancasueque and Victoria, cut- ting off communication with the interior. We have files from St. Domingo City to the 23d of June, from which we translate the official report of ‘the triumph of the revolution, puViished this morn- ing. The most energetic measures were being taken by the existing government, in order to unite the Dominican people and repair the loss and damagh sustained by them under the dishonest and tyrannous rule of the fallen Paez, now in exile with his most prominent adherents. The Tammany General Committee met last night at the Oid Wigwam, but adjourned early, without doing any business worth mentioning. It was ex- pected that the committee having in charge the various schemes for reforming the primary elections would report, but Surveyor Hart, the chairman, stated that they were not yet ready soto do. The committee adjourned to meet at anearly day, when a call for the election of delegates to the Democratic Btate Convention wili be made. The directors of the New York Central Railroad Company met at Albany and declared the usual semiannual dividend of four per cent, payable at the usval tin: and place. ~« The Central Park Commissioners met yesterday. A report was received from the architect-in-chief detailing the progress of operations on the Park and the number of men employed in superintending the work; bat the gentleman who prepared the re- port of the proceedings of the Commissioners for the press failed to furnish the public with the slight- est information on these points. The chief engineer announces that the police force of the Park is won- derfully efficient. They have arrested strumpets and disorderly workmen, broken up disorderly houses and suppressed pig feeding establishments. But the Napoleons of the Park police have encoun- tered their Wellingtons in the billy goats. The billy goats there are very numerous and very obstinaté, and the chief engineer says ‘‘no means have been found adequate to hinder their trespassing on the Park.” In view of this state of affairs the Com- missioners offer a bounty of a dollar a head forevery billy goat caught in the Park. So we have war formally declared between the Central Park Commis- sioners and the billy goats. The Coroner's investigation of the circumstances attending the death of Cornelins Rady, in Centre street, on Saturday night last, was concluded yester- day. The jury found that deceased came to his death from fracture of the skull, caused by being knocked down by Patrick Gilligan, aided by John Quinlan and Billy Law. They also found that John Tierney, Timothy Dunn, James Hart, and Bryan Grohan were accessories after the fact. Each of the accessories was held to bail in $1,000 to answer. Gilligan, the alleged murderer, is yet at larce, but the police are in hot pursuit of him. The Grand Jury presented » number of indict: ments yesterday in the Court of General Sessions, to which the accused parties pleaded guilty and were remanded for trial. John Ankerton and Francis McCusker, jointly indicted for urglary in breaking into the premises of H. Foot, 270 Kast Kleventh street, on the 14th of May, were convicted. McCus- Lor was sent to the State prison for two years, while ! 5 confederate was sent to the Penitentiary for the vd. Samuel Holmes, having stolen a case »| instruments worth $25, was sent to the ' for six months. Bridget Lyons, guilty i y in stealing $35 worth of property, fame pet was remanded for seatence. Joho Romer, a drug: | local telegraph system of our continent. But gist’s clerk, indicted for manslaughter in the fourth degree,"in causing the death of a child by carelessly eelling opium instead of another drug, was also remanded for sentence. Wm. Fash, in- dicted for an assault with intent to kill Wm. Dow- ney (both colored men), was convicted of # simple assault and battery. Just at the conclusion of the trial, and as the case was about being given to the | jury, our reporter brought the news into court of the reported success of the Atlantic Telegraph en- terprise, which created great enthusiasm; whereupon counsel for the prisoner, with more than ordinary gravity, intimated to the Judge that his client *hould be liberated in honor of the great event. The jury, however, deemed it best to convict him; but the Recorder in passing sentence, said smilingly that in honor of the great event he would only send the prisoner six months to the Penitentiary. ‘The eaies cf cottom yesterday embraced about 600 bales, without change of prices. Al! good and merchant- able brax’s of inspected flour were in steady request, and closed at an advance of Sc. « 10c. per barrel; and in some cases of good fresh ground, at from lfc. a Sc. per berre!. Wheat was also better, with eales of about 25,C00 bushels, at prices given in another place. Corn was also frm, with fair eales, at full prices. Pork was some leas buoyant, while sales embraced mess, at $17 37 a $17 40, and prime at $14 75. Sugars were firm, with ales of about 1,200 bhds. et full prices. Coffee was steady; the chiet sale consisted of about 2,400 bhgs Rio at 10c. a 11}(c., with lows of Java ard Maracaibo and Costa Rico at Prices given in another place. Freights were dull, and engagements limited. Whiskey has taken quite a rise, and gales of 700 bbls. ware made yesterday at 250. a 270. The Atlantic Cable—Tne World Revolution Begun. The despatches from Trinity Bay, received yesterday afternoon, and published in an extra Heraip, have announced throughout the country that the Nisgera and Agumem- non have successfully performed their parts in carrying out the great event of the age. The United States steam frigate Niagara, at- tended by the British steamer Gorgon, arrived ‘off Bull’s Arm Bay on the 4th, and the Ameri- can end of the Atlantic Telegraph cable was landed yesterday. Our own correspondent an- nounces that the Agamemnon arrived at Va- lentia Bay about the same time with the British end of the cable. The electric signals sent and received through it show that the con- tinuity is perfect; but no news can be obtained of affairs on the other side until the message of Queen Victoria to President Buchanan has been transmitted and the reply sent. On learning the successful result of this great enterprise every American heart has ex- perienced a thrill of delight. Every one has felt a glow of pride in the noble ship that has ehown herself to be the just pride of our navy, and the gallant officers and crew whose un- wearied and unremitted exertions have per- formed the mighty task. They have added a new ray to the glory of their coun try, and they will reap their reward. Mr. Field, to whose exertions the world owes no small share of the credit for this triumph of the mechanical genius of the age, has, with noble self forgetfulness, embalmed their praise in a despatch which will have been published this morning in every important journal in the Union. No man can estimate the full importance of this event, which will be the starting point of the civilization of the latter half of the nine- teenth century, as Fulton’s first trip up the Hudson in the little steamer Claremont was its starting point in the first half thereof. Steam navigation bas revolutionized the face of the world. With us it has built up an empire in the greatest fluvial region the world knows. It has changed the whole character of commerce and of the art of war. It has brought distant nations nearer to each other, both for offence and exchange. It haa cheapened the product of every region of the earth to the consumer. It has virtually extended the span of human life by increasing the succession of events within it Though but an instrument, it has become the master spirit of the age. But now comes a mightier, to dispute the wand of power with it The magnetic telegraph ceases to be a local, and becomes an instrument of universal power. It grasps the thought of man, and carries it instantaneously to the ut- most confines of civilization. Henceforth the whole world is to be moved simultaneously by the same thought, and action will be immeasur- ably quickened. In political intercourse there is to be no more waiting for intelli- gence as to what eourse this or that Power will pursue. In commerce there is to be no more waiting for mails with mar- ket advices. In science, art, literature, and every branch of knowledge, every event that wiil quicken the human intellect, every disco- very tbat will open new paths of usefulness, every achievement that will confer new power on man, will be at once communicated to every wing of the great army of progrees, and the march of the world will be increditdy hastened. We do not eay tha’ all this is to occur at once; but it is all in the essence of things to come. Humanity is everywhere, and always childlike, and must learn by slow degrees to use the new power it attains. It must lose its habit of creeping, throigh the frequent use of its new ability to walk erect. It must forget to rely upon the accustomed attendance and support of the nurse, by using the new self-confidence it bes acquired. So it is with men, communities and nations. Old habits must be forgotten, old practices abandoned, old usages laid aside, and all superseded by the new systems that will come into play with the new scheme of instantaneous world-wide intelli- gence. Manya merchant thinks today that the Atlantic Telegraph will be of little or no use to him—that he will seldom have occasion to usg it in his business. But trade will change and adapt iteelf to the new elements at its command, and he must change, or be left be- hind in the general advance. Every man of mature age can look back today and show to the doubter the fallacy of his idea. Thou- tands once thought that steamboats would be of little practical use. They believed, when Ful- ton went to Albany in thirty hours in his new- fangled invention, that they could continue go- ing up and down the Hudson in sloops which took a weeli to perform the voyage, and still compete with those who went with Fulten. The nian who believes today, in whatever walk of life he may be, that the Atlantic Telegraph ca- ble will be of little use to him, belongs to the class which once believed that stage coaches could still keep up with railroads; that the bluff old ships of yore were just as useful asthe Adri- atics and the Baltics of today, and that ocean steam navigation would never amount to much. The Atlantic cable will carry ite influence into every man’s houre, business and bosom; and he that does not profit by ite use must give way to him who doo. ‘The first revolution will be made in the pres: This hae already been partially ef- feeteé' by the New Yore Henaty and the we look confidently forward to the time when the HeEnavp will contain, besides its local and city intel- Uigence and advertisements, nothing but a mass of Faithful telegraphic reports of the events in the whole world of the previous day, with our editorial com- ments thereon. This is the electric placer of jour- nalism that we mean to open. When this is achieved—when the columns of the Hrra.p shall bring to its readers a full and faithful re- port of news from the whole world; when it Sball contain euch morning everything worth kuowing, from America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia, with our editorial comments there- on —we shall look upon it as the triumph of the revolution in journalism which we began twenty- three years ago, and ehall prepare to sing our nunc dimitas domine; for out work will be accom- plished. We chall then believe that we have dore our part, as have those who undertook the mechanical problem of the Atlantic Telegraph cable. 4 Tux Suriexs or THE Sewarp Bortix How- Ers.—Thurlow Weed is in a dreadful etew over the discovery of a new dark lantern organiza- tion, under cover of which the pestilent Know Nothings contemplate the seizure of all the offices and all the epoils of the proposed black pepper and cayenne coalition. Thurlow de- ounces tbis secret organization as “the conspi- racy exposed,” as “the secret plot to betray the republican party,” a¢athingof “arevolting, de- moralizing ard infamous anti-republican charac- ter”’—£0 revolting, indeed, that honest men “who have been approached by the conspirators” “have spurned alike the treason and the traitors.” He further assures us that thie new Know Nothing secret society is an “iniquitous plot,”’ the sole object of which is “to use the republican party to promote the personal inter- ests of the conspirators,” and that “a more infamous scheme was rever concocted in this republic.” Hear the indignant Thurlew :— Tt will be acen that the ostensibl® parvose of this secret organization is to effect a union of the American and re- pul parties.” But its real purpose, as ite articles association prove, is to use the republican party to pro- mote the perrooal eet Rese A more infamous scheme was a = this republic. State, esioral, Senatorial, county and district con- vention nominees of which shall in all cases be fel- low This is certainly a terrible organization—a regular “Rye House” or “Gunpowder Plot” sgainst the badly frightened Seward Albany junta. But we know not what to do for the re- lief of the excited Master Weed, or in behalf of the “union of the American and republican parties,” except to advise the same course as that which they pursued in the St. Louis Congressional election—a separate American and a separate republican ticket; for thus, in the result, both parties will stand even, for they will each be revenged upon each other. And this will doubtless be the upshot of the row. When Seward and Fillmore shall be brought to sleep under the eame bianket, like the immortal Botts and Cep- tain Tyler, then we ehall believe in a unior between cur Seward and Fillmore factions, As the matter stands, there isan excellent pros- pect in our November election for a finishing blow to Seward and his Albany lobby. Let him lose New York this fall, and he will never touch bottom in 1860. Sexaror Hammonp or Sovura Caroutina—A Gust Among THe Piomies —We published the other day the late speech of Senator Hammond to his constituents at Beach Island, South Caro- lina; but there are come points in that speech so bold, pungent and powerful that they are worthy @ special reproduction. First and fore- most, General Hammond, the very strongest man perhaps that South Carolina has ever sent to the Senate—Mr. Calhoun excepted—has de- clared himself forthe Union, as the true policy of the South, to the very last extremity. Listen to him:—‘“Even,” said he, “if at the next Presidential election the North should by combination elect an abolitionist, he did not think that on that issue the great body of the South would go out of the Union.” Is not this an astonishing declaration for a South Carolina Senator in the midst of the little fussy secession politicians of that State? We think so, and that it shows that Senator Hammond is a bold, fearlees, independent, original thinker, who thinks for himeelf and speaks for himself, and who does not hesitate to speak the great and important truths and conclusions to which his thinking may have brought him. Upon this very question of disunion we have not the shadow of adoubt that an overwhelm- ing majority of the Southern people—inclading even the people of South Carolina—entertain precisely the opinions which he has expressed. But the Senator thinks that if two abolitionists should be elected to the Presidency in succes- sion, that then the Union would be broken to pieces sure enough. Very well. We arecon. tent for the present with the assurance that the election of one abolitionist to the White House will be tolerated. As for the second in succes- sion, there need be no fear of that, inasmuch as the firet—if such a man as Seward, for exam- ple, or any of his tribe—will sicken the coun- try with his lobby spoliations for twenty years to come. But the material point in Mr. Hammond's speech under consideration, is this: that “to him the whole theory and scheme of squatter sove- reignty was a matter of diagust”—“that the Kaneas-Nebraska bill was a delusion and a deception from the beginning,” and “a enare to those at the South.” Senator Hammond judges the tree by its fruite. He sees that thie game is up—that Kansas is to be a free State under the policy of the Kansas- Nebraeka bill, and that the South has thus roused up @ dangerous spirit of retaliation for attempt- ing. under the delusion of “ popular sovereign. ty,” the recovery of the territory north of the line which, by the Miseouri compact, was ceded to the North. Senator Hammond, therefore, is quite right in saying that the Kaneas-Nebraska bill to the South “was a delusion and a decep- tion from the beginning.” In fact, as this Kansas agitation dies out, we may expect many other refreshing confessions from the North and the South of this contempti- ble farce of “ popular sovereignty,” as illustrat. ed in the late furious Kaneas uproar, which threatened to tear the Union and the whole ci- vilized world into fragments if niggers were excluded from Kansas, or if niggers (slave nig- gers) were admitted into Kansas. The late speech of Senator Hammond is an excellent be- ginning on the back track for the fiery and fusey little State of South Carolina, She is evidently coming to her senses, More News ror rae Taxparers,We per- ceive that the game of robbing and plundering our unfortunate city treaeury atill continues in full blast, regardless of wet weathe: NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, AUGUST 6, 1858. Every dey come new leaf isturned over dis- closing new roguerics and rascalitice with the peopie’s taxes. The last exhibit of our taxes eweiled them up to nine millions; the next will most likely be ten millions. When will our taxpayers wake up? Are not nine or ten mil- lions enough, or do they want ten or fifteen millions to stir them into action? They num- ber thirty thousand voters, who can control thirty thousand more. Why not begin at nine millions todo the work of purification which they will be compelled to do under a tax bill of twelve or fifteen millions? What sense is there in waiting to have every pocket picked ? Tur Conviction or Brancu.—Thie important and ecummary dispensation of criminal justice will go far towards redeeming the character of our Judges, and shielding the private reputa- tions of euch of our citizens aa are fortunate or unfortunate enough to occupy public positions. The prompt action of the Recorder merits all praize, and is, we believe, fully sustaincd by the community at large. There are, however, eome two or three of the city journals which put in a plea of mitigation for the convict in this case, and affect to believe that the sentence was too severe. We are sorry to see such an exhibition of stupidity, or something worse, on the part of these journalists. It is not of mach consequence per se, whether or not the man Branch is confined for a year or a month; but in view of the fact that he is not alone in the prostitution of pen, ink and paper to the most filthy and scandalous purposes, it is absolutely neceseary that some exemplary punishment should be inflicted upon him, as the representa- tive of a claas of libellous, obscene and piratical publicists. As we have before stated, the ap- pearance of these sheets at the present time is no more ner less than the periodical eruption of trash which last appeared among us some twelve years agoin the shape of the Whip, the Flash, and the Subterranean, and has now come to the sur- face in the columns of Brauch’s Alligator, the Red Flag and Porter's Spirit of the Times. In the days of the Whip, Flash and Subterranean, the conductors of these papers were duly punished by imprisonment, and their business broken up. Some of the same parties are now engaged in the same business in the obacene eheets of the present day. They are made the tools of broken down politicians, and prostitute their presses to the abuse of public men who have been more successful than their employers. The conduc- tors of the journals above mentioned are used as vehicles for the publication of libellous and obecene assaults upon private character, and print such attacks as would not be admitted into any part of a respectable newspaper. The various cliques in this city, of all parties, carry their political animosity into private life, and suborn miserable fellows like Branch to 4 not only their opponents, but to ec: ize their wives and families. The Mayor of the eity has displayéd commendable dignity in de- manding the protection of the law, and putting his libeller to the proof. In every way the re- sult of the trial is just, aud it will teach the other persons whe follow in the footsteps of Branch a good lesson. They will see that they may yet have another opportunity of enjoying the hospitality of the city at Blackwell's Island, and they will take care how they pro- voke such a pressing invitation as that whic the Recorder has given to the Alligator man. Gerait Swrru mn tue Fretp.—The “Tempe- rance and Freedom” Cenvention at Syracuse has trotted out Gerrit Smith as the candidate for Governor of the party of ‘temperance and freedom.” Thus there is a fair opportunity for every man who believes in the virtues of a com- pulsory total abstinence law, and in the duty of nullifying the Fugitive Slave law, to illus- trate bis consistency to his principles by his vote. Let every man stick to his principles in the November election, and the demagogues of the Seward lobby and spoils party will at least receive a wholesome rebuke from the believers in “temperance and freedom,” who have been £0 often betrayed by Weed and Company. Let the “temperance and freedom” party stand their ground. Cotarse or THe AntrSLavery AGrratiox.— The defeat of Blair for Congress, in Missouri, indicates & remarkable collapse in the anti- slavery agitation. It is but the beginning of the end. Kansas is done for; and the same wholesome conservative general reaction which culminated in the election of 1852 is now be- ginning to work against the nigger agitators. The Seward republican party are in shoal water, and the chances now are that before De- cember next they will be hard aground. The defeat of Blair in St. Louis shows that Kansas shrieking has ceased to pay expenses. That St. Louis election is one of the most significant and important manifestations of a new political revolution. Fucemnc Famate Cotscs.—Commencement exercises were opened in this institution last week with a sermon by the Rev. Wm. H. Milburn. On Wednesday evening the ‘annual concert was given by the young ladies, in the chape! of the College, who were assisted by reveral of ‘the leading aingers of the New York Mendelisohn Union. ‘The commeacement was beidon Thursday morning.

NEW YORK CUSTOM HOUSE APPOINTMENTS CONFIRMED WHERE 13 THE NEW NICARAGUAN MINIGTER?— MOVEMBNTS OF THE MBXICAN MINISTER—BUROPEAN MAIL STEAMER OONTRACTS—MOBE INDIAN TROU- BLES BRAWING, BIC., BTC. Wasarroron, August 5, 1858. Secretary Cobb has confirmed, within the last two days, about thirty ef Collector Schell’s appoint- ments. Up to this time hg has not rejected any. There are some standing S¥er for investightion or further consideration. Where is the Nicaraguan minister, Jerez? It is thought strange that he does not come to Washing- ton, especially if his mission be so important as represented. The question is asked in official circies, “Does he think the New York c ommodonps the United States government?” It is believed he is in a fair way of being effectually obfuscated. The government is determined not to listen to any more trifling from Nicaraguan officials or agents. General Robles, the Mexican Minister, left here for New York yesterday, and expects to leave for Mexico about the 12th. It is rumored here that he goes to Mexico at the request of his friends there, who think that he may be placed in the Presidency of that republic asa compromise between the libe- rals and the reactionists. They have been working for some time in that direction, and Senor Robles obtained months since from his government permis- sion to return on a temporary visit. His chance seems to be a fair one, as neither party has been able to subdue the other. The Post Office Department has forwarded to Com. Vanderbilt, and to Mr. Drayton, of the Havre and Bremen line of steamships, a form of contract for their acceptance to carry the mail to Europe al” ternately every fortnight, for the postages as remu- neration. The department will shortly contract with the Antwerp line and others for the same con- sideration, if the Collins steamships do not ran so aa to make a regular weekly communication of United @tates mails to Europe. Information at the Indian Bureau shows a bad state of things in and about the Indian settlements west cf Arkansas, in consequence of there being nd military force im that region. Depredations by Ca- manches, and the growing demoralized condition of other Indians, even in the settlements, will soon give the government great trouble, and perhaps war, unless a sufficient force be sent to Fort Arbuckle and other post to hold these savages and semi-sav- ages in check. It is said tha? Mr. Fonda, hard shell, lately ap- pointed Postmaster of Troy, has not been permitted to enter upon his doties, in consequence of charges having been presented as to his past political his- tory. It is not thought there is anything in them to annul the appointment. A stropg movement is being made to induce go- vernment to establish a line of posts, construct a wagon road, and to establish a mail communication by government steamers, on the route from Min- nesota to Oregon and Washington Territories. Sena- tor Rice, Governor Stevens, and General Lane, are especially active in this matter. It is rumored that General Harney may be or- dered to Washington Territory to carry on the win- ter campaign.
