AUTHENTICITY OF THE QUBEN’S MESSAGE Tne above message was reecived by the President with some doubts as to Its authenticity, but tne matter was re- Meved of all doubt by the following message from the Buperintendent of the Newfoundland |ine:— Twsiry Bay, August 16—7 P.

The message to the President, purporting to be from the (Queen, actually came over the Atlantic cable from Valen- ‘Ma, Ireland, and is unquestionably authentic, The Preai- Gent's reply will be sent as soon as received. : A. MACKAY, Superintendent, RECEPTION OF THE QUEEN'S MESSAGE BY THE PRESIDENT. Wastrveton, August 16, 1868. ‘The intelligence of the reception of the Queen's message rapidly apread throughout the city, and this evidence of the succesful working of the Atlantic telegrapn ocoasion- ea moch rejoicing. ra) Agent of the Associated Press removed all doubts. The first information on the subjeat to the President was communicated through Senator Rigler from informa- ton obtained from the Washington Associated Press agency, when the President returned to the city from the Soldier's Home and received at the White House the meneage from her Majesty Queen Victoria. He then pre- pared a suitable reply. The Mayor of Washington this afternoon sent a message to the City C ouncils recommending that measures be taken to celebrate the success of the Atiantic Telegraph. Special commitiess are appointed to agree on the programme, THE EXCITEMENT IN THE CITY. YRE PURLIC INTEREST OCCASIONED YESTERDAY BY THE NEWS THAT THE CABLE WAS IN WOKKING ORDER—WHAT THE AUTHORITIRG INTEND TO DO— RBIOICING IN THR CITY—GUNS FIRAD—BELLS RUNG@—AND A PARTIAL ILLUMINATION. ‘The pews that the Atiant'c telegraph cable was ig com- plete working order did not reach this city until it was too late to announce the fact in the evening editions of the Heraip, The substance of the news, however, was ported on our belletin at 4 7. M., aod im an incredible short space of time ft was known from one end of the metropo- lm to the other, The interest it created was intense; thousands would not believe the announcement, Because ft was “not in the papers,’ but the con- firmations wore }yo; strong from every quarter that the Gonbting were compelled to believe, and the more indif ferent gave way to the prevailing ontbusiasm. The first remark between frionda on meeting was, “Why we will have the Queen's message after all,’ and the responses from all sides showed how deep a public interest this greatest work of the nincteenth century has created, The birth of an heir or the accession of a fortune would scarcely bave occasioned mote extravagant manifesta won of joy than did the announcement of the complete moceess of the cable create among our moat solid and sub siantial citivent. During the afternoon thousands of people arsemblod on Brookiyn Hoights, expecting to see tho cara ecter the harbor, nor would they depart until inte in the even ing.

It bse all slong been though hat the Niagara would srrive to-day, and the celebratio.: an therefore all take place at once instead of beimg spread ever several days. At nine o'clock this morning it is announced that a salute of one hundred gu:s will ve fire a:the Battery, and the ether exercises will take place In the order an- neunce? in the published programme of the suthorities. ‘The firewords and tar barrels are all ready, and yesterday the workmen were busily employed in the sperm- scetti comoks in the windows of the build. ings. J¢ is seldom tha: we have illuminations in this city, There was one at th» close of the war of 1872 snd in honor of the victories of the Ame- rican arma in Mexico, but the demonstration in honor of the successfal laying of the Atlantic cable will be the greatest ever witnessed in the mstropolis. Late in the afternoon, Mr. Wilson G. Hunt recetved a tele, graphic dispatch from Trinity Bay, to the effect that the velegraph was in complete working order. This news he communicated to Mr. Peter Cooper, and they both pro- ceeded to the Mayor’s office, to notify Mayor Tiemann of the joyful intelligence. The Mayor expressed his gratifl- cation at the news, but thought it would be well to post- pone the celebration of the cvent until to day. ‘The scene in the neighborhood of the Haran office, in the evening, was one of great excitement. The news boys humbnged number of persons by selling + extras”? several days old, but no one thought of quarre!- Ling with them, so universal was the complacency at the receipt of the news. The urchins amused themecives during the evening by shouting and making all sorts of swaouncements as being the burden of the Queen’s mes- age. The metropolis was jubilant iast night, ‘THE EXCIVEMENT AMONG THR MERCHANTS REVIVED, Ajthough the favorable news regarding the working of ‘ye Auaatio cable between Europe aud America did aot eppear on the Wall street bulleting till near the cloee of busivess hours, the announcement revived the excito- ‘ment among the merchants, who lingered down town un- tH four and five o’clock P.M. On the first rumor, many persons fiocked to Gilpin’s reading room to see the evon- tng editions of the city papers, but finding nothtng in them to the point, they flocked to the bulletins, where they found & message from “Cyrus W. F.”’ stuck up, stating that tho cable at last wes working. This was soon followed by a despatch from “Cyrus,” or Trinity Bay, purporting to be from the Directors of the Atlantic Telegraph Company in Fugland (probably at Valentia), to the directors in New York, as published in the Henatn of this morning, and which was also posted conspicuously near the door of the office of the American Telegraph Company, in the Wal! street side of the Merchants’ Exchange. This immedi ately atéracted tbe attention of every passer by, and drew crewds to look af it. At first some took tt to be—so re- ported it to be—the veritable Queen’s long expected measage, Later in the afternoon “the newsboys” were Dawling papers for sale with the arrival of ner Majesty’s message, who, however, were acting, as too commonly is the case with that small fry fraternity, under false pre- tences to gather pennies. The excicment, however, was none the less, and the news and encouraging phase of the cable passed rapidly from one to another, some being puz- wlet by this sudden turn in the prospects of the cable, while others expressed renewed hopes of permanent success. A fow were still inclined to doubt, and thougut it was impossiolo—that it was some sort of new movement to revive the excitement of the people. The street, however, was soon cleared of business men, all hoping to see the Queen’s message in our morning editicn. As we passed the American Telegreph office, in the Kx- change, and the telegraph office at No. 21 Wall street, the operstore were preparing to get out and agaie unfurl their fiage to the breeze. RECEPLION OF THE NEWS IN TH BVENING, The announcement of the afternoon that the “Queen’s meesage is expected”? put most evorybody on tip4oe for the long expected document. Not a few, however, re- cetved the negs with suspicion, justly entertained from the enterprising false alarms in which the newsboys have pleased to indulge for the past week, with the innocen design of making quick sales and large pro‘ita with their evening editions as ‘extras; got the Queen's message.” But as the evening advanced, and the word passed from mouth to mouth, and became the town taik in the hotels, barrooms, theatres and other public places, peopie began to think there must be some fire in company with so much smoke, and the circle of believers increased. It wa amusing to bear the remarks of both the enthusiastic and the sooptical as the “reception of the Queen’s mes- sage” wea announced ss the reagen for the thunder of booming cannon early in the evening. ‘“ Pshaw, it’s another boax,” or ‘ It’s only the Niagara coming up,” or “I's only o little practiaing with the Empire pocket piece,” or “ I’m glad i:’s come at last,” “ | wonder what it is?’ “ What does the Qaeen say about the cable?’ «© What is old Buck’s answer?” “Is it really a fact that the message is come!” “Is it on the newspaper bulle- tins?” apd a thousaid other similar inquiries and excla- mations mot the car at every step, The croakers were about as usual, and conversations like the following were not unfrequent :— “Now, honestly, is the message really sont over the cable?” “Yes, it certainly is.” “Well, what ts the purport ofur’ “ Her Majesty «'mply congratulates the President on the successful laying of the cable, in which she has taken » deep interest.”’ «« Pabaw, is thet all?” “Yes, tan’t that enovgb ?”” “No.” “What more would you expect!” “Why, some noble een.iment wortby of the magnitude of the result.” “Bat the meaarge is straight to the point. She speaks ber heartfelt sentiments without doubt.’” “Oh, humbug; everybody know she felt a deep interest, and expected some manner of expressing it worthy of going down to posterity, I believe the whole d—n thing io ® hoax.” Bat the croakers couldn't cry down the fact which kept gaining credence all the time, that © message had been received over the Atiantic cable; so the guns kept boom- mg, the stage drivers sbouted {t out, the conduciors on the cars told the pretty girls of it, the newsboys made money out of it,and everybody talked about it, while pot afew made a rush for the wlegraph and newspaper offices to aasure themselves of ite truth. The acone about the Herat office up to ® late hour was exciting im tbe extreme, and those fortunate enough to squeeze through the crowd to get a sight at our bulletin, were giad enough to get ont of the jam with a whole skin, and after collecting their scattored senses, to revail the joyful intelligence to the eager listeners, with eyes, cars, and mouths wide opes, depicting wonder, eagerness and pleasure at the fruition of so many anxious hopes. The fact seemed to take hold of the people with the firmness of faith, No more doubts of the continuity—no more fine spun theories of the imperfect insulation—the straining apart of the wires—the duplicating of (Me messager, 80 as to return to the stations which sent them, or the fear of a canard, There was the measage in biack and white, and a sight of It seemed to be good for sore eyes. SCENES AT THR TRLEGRAPA OFFICES. Wail street, up to alate hour presented a comparative- ly busy ecene for that usually secluded an@ quiet local! ty at that time, The different offices—no mafler whether they connected with the cable or not—were the scene 0 many anxious inquiries. People walked down, looked a ‘the streaming flags, the lights in the windows, and heard the click, click, click, of the machine, and indulged thei imaginations in the belief that that particular sound was the noise of a montage in transite over the great cxdie and perbaps another greeting from the Old World to the Now, trembling aloug the bottom of the vast deep. No matter whether the line was connected with the South or Fast, the imagination served ag well, and peopic waited until they got tired, TRE MESSAGR IN THR HOTELS. ‘The announcement ip the hotels of the reception of the Queen's meaeago created no little excitement, and was the general eu bject of conversation in ths reading roome and parlors. The clerke fownd an additional soarce of abor in the frequent inquiries from the guests’ roome whether the Qoeea'¢ meenage had roully arrived.” At the Aetor House the news was received with universal expressions of sarpries and pleasure, and great dieappomtmont was manifested that the telegraph éfilee im thas building could oot transmit at ove instant alt the meseages to friends, ausouncing the aif importans t Of the ogesthe fire: mesenge Over the Atlantic The Moersrs. Lelands, of th» Moetropolitu, 4@ oon ap they beard the news, baa it imme diately announced to thelr Indies’ and gentlemene’ perlors, where it created a general furore. Extem- pore copnexions of their numerous guests gathered in the different rooms, diecussing the all important eventy and not a few libations in honor of the occasion we < indulged in by the more enthusiastic gentiemen in ti° house. Some suggested that the ballding shoud ve instantly Uluminated, as an expression of joy, but at ieag h it was decided to await the general rejoicing, spi partici- Pate joyously in that, At the St Nicholas the flage were kept flying from tte ume of the reception of the despatch promising the m«s- sage, and the matter was the subject of general conver- sation in the house. At the Lafarge the news was received with some doubt at first, but, upon confirmation, became the subject of general rejoicing. ‘The proprietor of the New York Hotel received the following despatch, which he éirculated freely among his gacste:— Me Goanenn, New Sere Eathen, ‘The Queen’s message Das pasacd through our office. We will notify you when the President's comes. (- TOT NDRIGKSON, ‘This was regarded as conclusive, and the rejeicing thereupon Decame general. It was determined to be fully prepared for the illumination to night. ‘The Fverett House guests were early notified that the message bad at length passed through tho cable, and many were the felicitations indulged in. The guests con- gratulated one another as if each had received some special personal benefit, and the determination of the pro- prietors to do their share toward reucoriag tha Humina- tion to-night a brilliant one, was loud|7 applauded. THE MBSSAGE IN THE THEATRES. At moat of the theatres which were open the news of the reception of the Queen’s message circulated quickly among the audience, and created no littio enthusiasm, At Niblo’s, Mr. Moore, the stege manager, ann.uncad the news from the stage, and the audience sent up a hoarty round of applause and three cheers, which fairly shook the building. THE NEWS IN THE RESTAURANTS. Whetber or not lager beer inspires caution, the news was in the saloons reccived with some caution, and beforo the extras could be sold the boys hed to show the ‘real message, and no mistake,”’ before they got their sixpences One enterprising restaurateur in Fulton street, bad a Jarge placard posted on his front window bearing the fol- Jowing inscription: — OLN LOONIE IOOIEE DONTE RELE LORE LOEE HD REJOICE: WE ARE ONE €RRTIFICATE OF MARRIAGE; THE OLD WORLD TO YOUNG AMERICA, ‘A TELEGRAM WITHIN.

Immediately on receipt of the news, word was tele- graphed from the police headquarters by Sergeant Chapin to the several precincts; word was also sent to Mayor Tiemann, who remained at the resience of Peter Cooper during the night. ‘The dry goods establiehment at the corner of Broadway and Liberty street was brilliantly illuminated, and old Trinity weloomed the news by its chimes for nearly an hour. In tho Bowery, in the immediate vicinity of the Bowery theatre, three large tar barrels were set on fire, whion added much to the epjoyment of over one hundred mea and boys who were rejoicing over the success of the cabie, In the Fourteenth ward a salute of fifty guns was fired in the old square.

Wend 1} Progress of Leavenworth, TER NAWSP2PERS OF A FOUR Ya OLD KANSAS ciry. It is now something Nke tour years since the town, now the clty of Leavenworth, was founded om the Missouri river, @ couple of miles south of the fort of the same name The kte told by a government agent for the denefit of the Delaware tribe of Indians, on whose reeer- vation it was, and the proceeds, we understand, were axilicient to leave to the credit of these Iadians some few thousand dollars per bead. At first, owing to ite vicintty to Missouri and its conscquent exposure to incureions from thet direction, and especially owing to some terrible out- rages perpetrated on free State men—particuiarly om Phil- Kips, who was first tarred and feathered and set outside of the Territory, anc on bis returning to the city was abot by the Kickapoo rangers—Loavepworth had a bad reputation with the great buik of the emigrants who poured into Kansas; and while it pro. gressea but slowly, Lawrence and Kansas City (although the Istter is in Migsourt) made rapid strides in poptlation and importance. Within the last conpie of years, howe ver, Leavenworth has lost much of the bad reputation which it formerly enjoyed; the border ruffiaua ioat the aacendancy they had had, and the free State men got the government of the city int their own hands. Sinze thes turning point in the affairs of Lesvenworth, it bes pro- greseed in growth sad population toan unexims.ed exent.

McLane, and whose motto is “ Independent of all parties.” Its “ independence” is probably manifested in ite two leading articles, in ove of which it asks ‘‘‘Who is to be the next Mayor of our city?’ and answers its ows ques tion by giving the namo of Adam Fisher, Esq ; aud in the other, it advises some councilmen without brains (a style of animal evidently not restricted to New York) to resign, ‘and intimates that the City Fnginecr, being in the same brainless condition of caput, ought to resign also. The Daily Ledger is im the second half year of its diurnal existencethe copy before us being only No. 160— and yet it is the oldest, by either # day or a week, of all the other Leavenworth papers. It devotes one page of five columns to local aud outside news, the larger portion of that of No. 150 being a report of « case before the Re corder’s Court, in which a dismissed actor and actress were tried and acquitted om the charge of setting fire to the Unton theatre. ‘We trial was evidently on important evert tn the loom, affairs of Leavenworth. Thirteen of the twenty columns which the Ledger contains are filled with advertisements, and as the tariff of prices is from dollar up—large de- duotions belog made, however, for weekly, montaly and yearly adverticomenta—and the price of the paper is twenty cents per week, or four cents a day, its receipts must be far abead of its expenditures. Tnere are no less than fourteen announcements from attorneys and land agents, nine from surgeons, dentists and druggists, six from bankers, insurance offices and brokers, Desides the ordinsry commission merchants’ and traders’ advertisements. One of tho family of the Roths- child advertises thet Melodeon Hall, “fitted up im the Imtest style, with ail the modern im- provements, regardices of expense,” can be ob- tained for balls, concerts, sotrees, &c., at $26 per night, payable when contracted for; and the same Kansas repre- sentatives of the house of Rothschild offers in another place spring and summer clothing st wholesale and retail. ‘The Ledger also publishes the movements of ‘‘ the port of Leavenworth,’’ with the names of the steamers arriving and departing. So much for number ono of the Leavenworth papers. Ne. 2 is the Daily Times. Ite motto la a silly common place of Senator Sumner’s, that “ When freedom is in danger, all who are not for her are against her.” The ‘Times ia published every morning (Sundays excepted) by Vaughan & Bartlett, at the same rates as the Ledger—| is, twenty conts per week for city subscribers anda dol” lar the minimum cost of an advertisement. The number Defore us, of August 9, is No. 149—s0 that it has wot passed ite first half year, at least as a daily paper. The Times is the officiel paper of the city, which— having regard to its motto—shows that free Btate, if not abolitionist principles, govera there. It is got up in much the same style as the Ledger, whieh not saying much for either of them; and out of ita twenty columns cleven are filled with advertisements of the same character as wo have described. No. 3 is the Dasly Evening Journal, which flourishes the curfous motto— The laborer is worthy of his hire.” We do pot know what reference that bas to the public affairs of Kansas, unless indeed it may be in an abolitionist sense, and we presume it must be. [tis published by Hutchison & Oo. and underbida the two morning papers, its price being fifteen conte a week. Out of its twenty columne sixteen are dlled with advertisements, including that of the ‘ Inde- pendent Lager Bier Ssloon,” and of the “« Union brass band of Leavenworth city.” The Jowrnal is only io the third month of its existence, Qe copy before us boing only No. 66. No. 4 ie the Kansas , & Gorman daily paper, edited and published by Dr. Chas. F. Kod. It is oniy in the firet month of {la existence—ihe copy before us being No. 20—but as eleven of its sixteen columas are filled with adyortisements it ts to be presumed that its exintence will be prolonged. Among its advertisements are thoee of four German lager bier saloons, restaurants and billiard rooms, besides & “Garden of Flora’ for pic nic excursioniste. These analyses of the contents of the four daily news. papers of Leavenworth will suffice to convey an idea of the growth of the city and of the’oondition of business there. Commisatoners of Health.
