The Illinois Canvass. The national organ of the united Democracy publishes with great gusto the following opinion of a St. Louis correspondent as to the canvass in Illinois Illinois, I am sorry to say, is trying the experiment that we tried, in dividing for the benefit of a man. The Black Republicans will undoubtedly carry the State at the next election. This will be the iesu't of the foolish course of Air.

Douglas in his bitter assault upon the President aud the Democratic party of the nation." We hope there is good ground for this opinion as to the result of the election, and indeed believe there is, but it is unusual for the Washington Union to go out of its way to predict Black Republican" successes especially in States that have always been Hffl.

Field applied his iongue to the end, and received the cheering information that the isolation was perfect, iu a shock tht nearly threw him fiver. The reason why messages were not transmitted earlier was from the fact that all the apparatus at both ends was new and untried, and required a great deal of care and skill to adjust. Mr. Field states that there is not the slightest doubt that the cable is an entire Euccess, as great or greater than its most sanguine friends looked forward to. By the Persiato-day he writes to the Directors to prepare another ci.b at once, as it is evident that the present one, which will in a short time transmit messages as rapidly as terial lines, will be entirely inefficient for the business which will flow to it.

Until the first of September the line will be closed to nil messages save those from the Governments of Great Britain and the United Stales. During that time Mr. Field will keep the public advised of matters affecting the success of the cable. A WOB.D I COMMKXDATIOS. All on board the Niagara unite in giving tho highest praise to Mr.

Field, whose determination and energy of character under the most discouraging circumstances, was sufficient for bo formidable an enterprise. To Mr. Everett is due the credit of devising the machinery, without which the cable would not have been laid. He was a so unremitting iu his attention to the engines of the ship, regulating them at all times so ns to meet the exigencies of the occasion. Capt.

Hudson nud his officers and crew are entitled to the highest honors for their unwearied labors in the good work. There was but one man on board the vessel," said an officer, who was sanguine, or even confident of success nnd he was Mr. Field. He seemed almost certain of success, when none others dared to hope lest they be disappointed." Of Mr. Everett, the some officer "E-ven he had but little confidence of success, but to him is the triumph due.

Without his skill the cable must have snapped. X. Y. Tribune. The Wheat Crop of the Country.

The wheat crop iu the several states maybe considered ns harvested and partially ready for market. We can, therefore give the following ruturns with some degree of certainty New York Tho crop is under the lust year's about fifteen per but the quality is much better. Pennsylvania The crop is fully an average one, but ten cent, less than last year, per acre. Ma-yland The crop is an nvorage one, but less per acre, nnd better in quality, than last year. Virginia The wheat Crop in this State is twenty per cent, less than last year for the amount of ground in cultivation, and the quality not much superior.

Aori Carolina The crop iu this Stato is probably nearer to a total failure than in any other. The yield 'being fully fifty per cent, less than last year, and poor in Kentucky The crop is about the average, but less than last year the quality is however nnsurpassed. Tennessee The crop is a good one, but under the average in the yield per acre. The quality is good. Missouri The amount of the wheat crop in this State is not fully known, but it will generally compare well per acre with the other Western States.

Ohio The yield of wheat per acre is fully twenty per cent, less than last year, but from the increase of land in cultivation, the decrease from an average crop will not exceed ten per cent. Iowa The accounts from the centre of the State in regard to the wheat crop nro very gloomy. The crop will hardly average ten bushels to the acre. Oats arc generally a failure. aftefnearly six days absence from St.

John's, N. had excited many fears as to her safety, liut on Tuesday afternoon, the Saxonia reported that she passed her uuder sail atone o'clock the previous day, about three hundred miles east of Sandy Hook. All apprehension of her sifcty at once censed. This announcement ied the officers of the Customs, the Quarantine officers, and reporters of the Tribune at Staten Island, to report her arrival tff Sandy Hook yesterday morning. At an early hour the telescope was brought into requisition, and at seven o'clock as the fog lifted, a three masted steamer was seen looming up behind the point of Coney Island.

She was pronounced to be the Niagara by many, but doubts were raised as to her identity, because of her appearing to have two smoke-stacks, the impression being that the Niagara had but one. At the same time the Marine Telegraph on the bluff at Fort Richmond gave the signal of a steamer in the offing. It was soon apparent that she lay at anchor.which confirmed the belief that she was the Niagara waiting for high water. Ai the numbers of the people increased about the ferry landing, the frigate's arrival was an-n nnced, and hundreds of eyes eagerly scanned the horizon to recognize in the faintest speck visible at a distance of twenty miles the vessel which had been instrumental in the achievement of so great a triumph of human enterprise. But if any doubts remained of the identity of the steamer, they were removed about o'clock by the arrival at Quarantine of the steam tug Achilles, with Mr.

Field and Mr. Everett, Engineer of tho Atlantic Telegraph Company, on bonrd, Mr. Field hav-ipg chartered the tug to bring him up. Availing himself of Mr. Field's invitation, one of our reporters came np with him on the tug to the city.

Mr Field reported that the steam frigate Niagara passed Fire Island Light at 2 o'clock that morning, and Sandy Hook at 4 a. coming to anchor until high water. Sbe was detained by fogs and an inadequate supply of bad coal. At 6 A. Mr.

Field left her, in the steam tug Achilles, to come to town. He was accompanied by Mr. Matthew D. Field W. H.

Everett, Engineer Mr. Woodhousc, Engineer; Baron Poye, and Purser Eldridge. The Niagara, he said, would be up about four o'clock in the afternoon. Mr. Field is looking although nearly worn out by the toil and excitement which he has undergone.

No doubt be will be nearly overwhelmed with ovations and congratulations, but he longs for quiet and repose. We hope that to-day, at least, in accordance with his desire, he may bo allowed to enjoy the society of his family undisturbed. He has been absent now from them for eight months. On his arrival at the Whitehall wharf, the fact soon became known, and an eager crowd pressed toward tho carriage to. look at the man whoso name and fame have now become "familiar as household words." He drove off as soon as possible, reaching home about 9 o'clock, and immediately applied himself to the completion of his journal, for transmission to the Telegraph Directors in London.

HOW TUB CABLE WAS LAID. Mr. Field describes the feeling which pervaded all on board the Niagara, while the cable was being laid, as one of the most intense excitement. Every man exerted himself to the utmost to achieve success in the work. Throughout the six and a half days the most perfect silence and attention prevailed among the men, lest a singlo moment of negligence should destroy tho On tho first day after tho paying out began it was found that the cable was being laid out at a rate which, in proportion to the distance run, would, if continued, have defeated the enterprise.

This was owing to the fact that the cable on the Niagara had caused S3 much local attraction as to seriously derange the compass, rendering it impossible to steer the ship. Next day the commander of the Gorgon, being apprised of the fact, ran ahead of the Niagara, steering in the most direct course for Trinity Bay. This he continued to So day and night until they arrived, never leaving the deck except for a few moments and varying his position by repeated observations by the sun, moon and stars. To bis agency, therefore, the success of the achievement is greatly indebted. When his arduous task was accomplished, his eyes were swollen and suffused withblotd from long loss of Bleep, and he was almost prostrated from the immense fatigue which he had uudergone.

Without his assistance the cable would have been exhausted long before the Niagara reached land. On Wednesday morning, August 4, at 8 o'clock, laud appeared to tlio N. W. about 85 miles distant. An hour later the Agamemnon signaled that she had paid out 926 miles of cable, being precisely tho same quantity as that laid from the Niagara.

At 7 p. m. Her Majesty's steamer Porcupine I ove in sight, and Capt. Otter, her commander, who had tiesn engaged for some weeks in surveying Trinity Buy and the Bay of Bull's Arm, boarded the Niagara to pilot her into the harbor. At 8 p.

Capt. Otter reported the telegraph station 19 miles off. There had been payed out from the Niagara 995 miles, 17 fathoms. As it would have periled the safety of the cable to have waited for daylight before resuming operations, the steamer was kept right on during the night. Capt.

Otter, who is a skilful pilot, is also a very prudent man. Anticipating that the Niagara might arrive at night, he had caused boats to be stationed up tho bay, along the course laid out for.nnd at a signal the men in them kindled blazing torches, and the people along the shore lighted hugo bonfires to guide tho mariners on their way. The Niagara guided by her careful pilot steamed slowly up the bay, and at one nnd 1 o'clock on the morning of Thursday, August 5th, sho came to anchor close to the shore, in 17 fathoms of water, having succeeded in her share of the great undertaking. She had payed out 1,013 mile, nnd telegraphic signals wcro constantly flowing through the entire length. Mr.

Field landed near the telegraph station at 2 o'clock in the morning, and walked to the house, half a mile distant, through the wilderness, not a person being visible on the beach. At the telegraph house he found the operators from London fast nsleep, not one of them expecting that the enterprise would succeed. Indeed they had not unpacked their trunks, anticipating that in a week or two they would be ordered buck to London. The station house was unfinished, work upon it had ceased, nnd none of the instruments had been prepared for use. Tho astonishment of tho ov orators when they learned that the cable was laid, may be conceived.

At 2:45 a. M. a signal was received from tho Agamemnon, stating that had payed out 1.010 miles of cable. Mr. Field then telegraphed to the Associated Press the glad tidings of success.

When the day broke tho boats were nil lowered, and 1,300 fathoms of the cablo were carried on shore. First Lieut. James II. North, handed the shore end to Capt. Hudson, who placed it on the bench.

A procession was then formed, headed by Capt. Hudson and Mr. North, followed by the officers of the Niagara, captains of the Oorgon nnd Porcupine, their officers, crews, and the crew of the Niagara. Each taking hold of the cable, they marched up from (he beach to the telegraph station house, a distance of half a mile, where they deposited the end of tho cable. Capt.

Hudson then offered a prayer and a few remarks appropriate to tho occasion, when the ceremony of landing terminated. The officers and crews then returned to their respective bouts, reaching their vessels at 6 o'clock in the morning. Tho Oorgon and Porcupine oarried the American flag at the fore, the Niagara the English flag at the fore, ana the tolegrapli Hag at the nnzzen. The Againoinmin telegraphed at 1 p. on tho same day (Thursday, Aug.

6.) that she had landed her end of the cable. On tho announcement of this fact, the Gorgon fired a salute of twenty-one guns, nnd her crew, manning the rigging, gave three hearty cheers, which were as heartily returned from theNi-ognra. All hands then went below to rest from their labors. The reason why signals and not words were sent through the cable an it was being laid, is that on the previous attempt the clerks indulged In irrelevant conversation, which distracted their attention Irom duty at a lime When the faintest obitrnction might be fatal to the work. The Directors therefore order ed that signals should be sent throngh the cable from ship to ship.

Both vessels had Greenwich time, and the eleotrie current played to and fro between them for ten minutes each way. The signals showed on the first dav tho speed of the Agamemnon slightly exceeded that of the Niagara, hut at the succeeding inv wmr r.r hip pv; tn'r'ncwr iys that Pierre Soule is in that city en ron for New York, where it is aoderstooi he to have an interview with Gen.

Twentieth District. The Congressional Nomination in tho 20th District, composed of Ashtabula. Mahoning and Trumbull, took place yesterday, August 25th, at Warren.

After the Convention adjourned, Mr. Gid dings addressed the people from the steps of the American House. He said he commenced his congressional life in 1836 that there are citizens of Ashtabula, 57 years old, who have never voted but for two members of Congress Whittlesey and Giddings.

He eulogized Mr. Hutchins he will say in Congress that his constituents have sent an abler man, a firmer friend to freedon, and he now returns to private life more free than he has been for 20 years. Mr. Allen, the editor of tho Conncaut Reporter, and the faithful House Representative in the Legislature from Ashtabula county. was a member of the Congressional Conven tion which hasjust nominated Mr.

Hutchims, and says that the deliberations were marked with good spirit, and nn honest desire to faith fully represent the District. The nominee, Mr. Hutchins, we have personally known for a number of years. He is a gentleman of high order of talent, a fine lawyer, unswerving his political integrity. of pure moral character.

The credit of the District is safe iu his hands, and he will rank among the best men in Congress; in industry, propriety, in talent. But two resolutions wero passed, and they were right to the point, thus: Resolved, That the banner district will nev er lower the Anti-Slavery standard but raiao it higher.

Our Agricultural Fairs so soon to be eel? brated for current year are languishing for lack of new ideas.

If Kansas had adopted the English Swindle, she would have been admitted as a State, her rote in favor of that rascality being the evidence, in the eye of the Fresidcnt, of her anxiety to come into the Union; but her re jection of that swindle is to be interpreted, he says, as an evidence of her anxiety to stay out of the Union. Thus speaks the Washington Union, the President's organ: "After all the contests which have wasted the energies of her people, and scattered 8re-brands throughout the Union, toe now have her solemn decision thai she prefers a territorial to a State government. Judging from the arguments most successfully used in the canvass which has just terminated, that decision teas made the deliberate conviction that the people of Kansas were either unable or unwilling to undertake the support of a State government.

Of this fact none were so competent to decide as the people of Kansas. Their decision is now made, and let it be carried out," Now, to our mind, it would seem more rational to conclude that the people of Kansas rejected the English proposition because it was one of the grossest rascalities of the day, and not because they wish to stay out of the Union. They are anxious to come in as a State, but they arc not willing to pay tho price of dishonor to got in. The President lays down a bribe to coax them to come in they say, we cannot take the bribe therefore, says the President, they do not want to come in I This is Presidential logic. The Richmond Enquirer, one of the few Southern papers that can sec the length of its nose before its face, is not slow to perceive the drift of this logic.

It says "Whether it is the part of wisdom to perpetuate the agitation that has lately subsided, and to make the refusal to admit Kansas the great question in 1860 for the division of parties on sectional grounds, may well address itself to the reflecti of the slave-holdiDg States. Such refusal would become the rallying cry of Northern fanaticism, and under its potent influence the entire North would rally, we to an overwhelming sectional ictory. In our opinion, it would be highly improper to adept a ratio of population for a slave State, different from lliat appointed for a free State. Equal and exact justice to both slave and free States is the only ground upon which the Southern States can maintain their claim to equal rights in thefed'ral Union. A policy the same for both slave nnd free States should be the demand of the South.

Upon such a policy they can maintain their just demands at the hands of the North, and upon such a platform only can the Southern States hope to meet their allies at the North." True. If the present population of Kansas is sufficient to entitle her to admission as a slave State, (which would have been accomplished if the English proposition bad been accepted,) it is enough to entitle her to admission as a free State and if that admission is refuged by the administration, the refusal will be made the rallying cry of tho opposition in 1830. The people of Kansas have been trying for three years so got into the Union and the attempt to oonatrue their rejection of the English bribe a an indication of their desire to remain out, is the paltriest trick ever essayed in the juggle of politics. Tho people of the North cannot be deceived by it. They demand equal rights in the Union, and will have what they demand.

All attempts to make a slave State of Kansas having failed, and the lost hope of doing so almost gone the South must be "compensated" for the failure "by keeping her out as a free State, for an indefinite number of years 1" That is good, and it will do us all good to know it.

In 1852 she first noticed ft swelling on the side of her neck. We promptly resorted to treatment.but its growth was not arrested. Otln-r means were tried repeatedly and almost but without avail, as the size increased until March, 18Co, wheu it projected beyond tho face, constituting a deformity.

Having given the best physicians in tho county nearly three years trial, and ali this time becoming worse, she was entirely discouraged, and it was only by tho persuasion of friends that she called on you at this time. After taking your remedies three or four month e.a change was noticeable, which went on until tho tumor wan entirely removed, and her general health fully restored. For two years past her health hr.a been excellent, and not a symptom of scrofula manifested itself. Yours, with much respect, I1EXUYE. SIIIYELY.

Official returns of the late election in Kan sas are now nearly all received and the re sult sliows that, out of 13,380 voters, the Lc- compton Constitution has been rejected by a majority of about 10,000, In spite of this fact we notice that the Administration papers shutting their eyes wilfully to the truth, per sist in maintaining that the question is set tled, nnd that the people of the Territory have merely signified their unwillingness to undertake the resDonsibility of a State zovernment.

The apology that Administration Democrats thus attempt to make for their own defeat is a very paltry one The issue which was pla ced before the people of Kansas was whether they would receive a bribe and accept the "English proposition," or receive no bribe and reject it. I hey adopted the latter cours- by an overwhelming majority. It is difficult to see how this can be, twisted into a supposition that they do not desire admission into the Lnion. They have declared that they will uot bo admitted under a spurious Consti tution, which they had no hand in making. and which was opposed to the fundamental principles of the Democratic doctrine.

But next Winter will show that the people of Kansas ao desire a state government; and it will be difficult then to put them off again with such a miserable piece of trickery as the "English proposition." iV. Y. Times. The Complexios op mis next Legislature. While the party politics were not it is (rue, to ary great extent, a direct issue in the recent contest, there are some things in conneo tion with the result, which gives us a strong reason to suppose that there is a majority in the Territory, of Republicans; and a very large majority who are opposed to the policy of tho present Administration.

We do not know to what particular faith all of the members are allied; but we know enough to feel confident that both branches woul 1 show a clear majority against the Lecompton scheme ot the present Administration. Jyebrashan Thk National Expknses. 'Ihe Washing ton correspondent of the Philadelphia Press says "The expenditures of the Government, for tho quarter ending June 30th, 1858, were in round numbers S23.000.000. At this rate (bey would be for (his year $92,000,000. Ihe belief is that they will be much larser- at least the estimates and appropriations have looked to that result.

The receipts are each week half a million less than the expendit ures, and there at present seems but little hope that they will grow better." Rapid Decrease of Democrats. At the recent election in Kansas, tho Ox ford precinct, which, when Candlebox Cal hottn bad the footing of the returns, gave nearly eighteen nunttred votes, stood as fol lows: For the English bill 16. Against 13. Total 29. This is nn unhealthy season in Kansas; but (his astonishing mortality, and all in the Dem ocrntic party, is unparalleled.

But it is not conhned to Oxford alone. Shawnee, which gave eight hundred majority at Calhoun's command, only a year ago, now foots up thus: For the English bill 41. Against 80. Here is a decrease of Democratic strength that needs" explanatiou. We believe it was Bigler who demonstrated in the Senate that Oxlord and Shawnee really polled a bona fide vote of 2600 between them He enn amuse tho Senate next winter by showing some cause for the rapid diminution that has taken place.

The Fifth Husband Gone. A few weeks since, says the New Orleans Cresent, we men. tioncd, as a singular circumstance, the marriage of a German widow iu the third dis trict (o her fifth husband no one of the pre-vious four having outlived his wedding year. Well, a few days since this fifth husbnnd took tho yellow fever. Ho died, and on Fridav was buried.

This singular and most mar-knble fatality among the husbands of the old lady would create doubtful talk among the old lady's she pot well known an I respected, nnd the ciuscs of the death of her different husbands well known to their friends. As it is, it is one of tho most curious instances of fatality we ever heard of. A Live man with ms Biiains suoi out.

Medical aid was quickly at hand, and strange to say, after a period of insensibility, the man revived, and is now able to sit up nnd converse intelligently, and is considered in a fair way of recovery.

X. Y. Cour. and Enq. Strange Slave Trial in Hason Ky.

The correspondent of the Pittsburgh Dispatch furnishes the following particulars of a slave trial, held in Mason Ky "On August 11th and 12(h, one of the most exciting cases ever occurring in this section of country, and one, too, in which the feelings of nil were deeply enlisted, came be fore the circuit court. The circumstances of the case, briefly stated, are these: About a year and a half since, a woman was arrested by order of a man named Dodson, acting as agent for one Mrs. Goddard. was brought to this town and lodged in a negro jail for safe keeping, until further disposition could be made of her person, the intention of the person or persons ordering her arrest undoubtedly being to sell her to go down South. Seeing what appeared to every one a white woman held in bondage aB a slave and confined in a negro jail enlisted the deepest feeling in her behalf.

She was immediately taken from her captivity, bond was drawn and signed by some of our most worthy citizens for her security and she returned to her home nnd her friends. The truth of the matter was this: She had been held as a slave for more than twenty years, nnd to make it appear more fully that she was a slave, her so-called owner, had recognized her marriage with negro roan, which she, ignorant that she was not a slave, hud consented to. Thus was a dark veil thrown over the scene, to blind more fully those who much sooner would have looked into nnd ferreted out this unprecedented case. When her alleged owners found out that she intended suing for her freedom, upon the ground that she was not a ncrn-o. but a while woman, with not a pariiclo of negro oloocl in her veins, they had her ar rested and lodged in jail, so as to sell ber to go South, thus getting her out of tho way, and thereby relieving themselves of further trouble.

A suit for her freedom was immediately instituted, and on Tuesday and Wednesday the trial come off in our Circuit Court, the sequel of which is ns follows Tho very ablest counsel of which our Bar can boast, had enlisted themselves in her bo-half not from any expectation of any pecu niary reward or gain, for they expected none they knew they would receive none. The case heing thus submitted to the jury, they retired to prepare their verdict. Language is inadequate to express tho suspense then prevalent in tho crowded Court House, and when the jury returned, nnd (heforemnu answered (he question of the Judge, that they wero agreed, so still and death-like was that crowded hall that (he dropping of a pin, or even tho slightest breath would have been perfectly audible, while they waited for tho breaking of the scaled verdict. But when the seal was broken, nnd the verdict that tho prisoner, though prisoner no longer, was frke, ono universal and long continued shout of ap plause rent the air. Twelve O'clock at New York.
