He telegraphed from Salem, that the prospect of the Republican carrying the State in daily brightening. He will continue the ran vans on the Pacific coast until about the middle of .Tune, when he will return to his duties in Washington.

We publish in another coliiinu, from the Washington Chronicle, u teller from Colonel Benjamin 8. Kwell, Adjutant General of General Joseph K. Johnston during the rebellion, brotherof the Inte (ieneral Kwell, and now President of the college of William and Mary, at Williamsburg, Virginia. Colonel Kwell, it will be noted, strongly urges there-election of President Grant, and Mutes his reason for such advocacy in strong and forcible and unmistakable term. He not only believes that the Administration of President (irant has been in the main highly successful, hut that the South her self owes to him largely of whatever of peace and prosperity she has attained since the war, and tlmt he is eminently titled to speak for the South, is one of the strongest tributes to (ieneral Grunt which has come from that section since the oen-ng of this momentous campaign. The Toledo Blade snys "the indications an? that there will be not less than fifteen hundred dwellings em-led in Toledo this season, despite the ndvanee in building material, and many of them wilt he ele gant and cosily structures." We will not conceal our pleasure at this evidence of the prosperity of our young sister city on the lake. We notify her, however, that the Capital City will at the next de cennial period show her a "trick worth two of it." About one fourth of Columbus proper was outside of the corx)rntiou at the last census, but has since liecii "taken In out of the wet.' Then, with our railroads to the coal and iron regions lying Immediately to the southeast, and blast furnaces, rolling mills, pipe facto ries, car, furniture and tool factories, nil attracting capitalists and skilled mechanics in large numbers, and causing other branches of Industry to spring into existence, and creating productive us well as commercial stability we expect to maintain the enviable position we have so long held, the third city in the State of Ohio, in point of both wealth and population. Sroi'K for learned dissertations by pub. licists and economists may be found in the " whys and whercforen " of the great trarlty of thin country during the past decade. It ought to be comforting to those hypochondrical sons of melancholy who are so troubled regarding the present ond it ion and future prosects of the country (if there is anything in this world that will afford consolation to such persons) that, while in I860 the wealth of the people of tho United Slates was sixteen billion one hundred and Hfiy-nine'inillion dollars, it had in 1870 increased tothevnst sum of twenty-nine billion, nine hundred und seventy-five million dollars; und this notwithstanding lour years of destructive Internecine war and the heavy burdens of taxation growing out of it. This Is what we would call great national prosperity, evcu under the most Irving' difficul ties. Certainly It is a r:itc of in crease never before paralleled in the his tory of n people since governments were lint established. Away at the bottom of all this national glory is the incessant play of private energies, resulting In the marvelous development of our material resources and the wonderful growth of our manufactures. Wc, as a eoplc, looking at ourselves as we find ourselves, are forced to conclude that we are governed not unwisely In the main. The pluinaud practical classes of the country capitalists, merchants, brokers, farmers, median ich anu uusiness men cannot tail to appreciate this fact, if they will hut look at it calcnlatlvely. Nor will thev seeing the National debt lessening by degrees, tlte burdens of taxation decreasing steadily, and the credit of the nation advancing above par In nil the money markets uf the world consent upon mature reflection to make any changes calculated to embarrass this progress, or to the surrender of the Government Into the hands of those whose theories are little understood nd of itlll more doubtful utility. Some one has somewhere said "there can lw no poverty where liberty Is, for nature's riches furnish affluence for all." While we should all rejoice If that saying would hold good with each Individual person In our lind, wc at least have (he satisfaction of knowing that collectively shaking It is fulfilled. i.iyinuntoxe rorxu. There is now little room to doubt that Pr. Livingstone, the great African explorer, is still alive, and that he has been found by Mr. Stanley, who is in charge of the New York Herald Search Kxpedition, The Herald of Tuesday has a lengthy special dispatch giving details concerning the safety of Pr. Livingstone, which was received at the bureau of the Herald in London, on Monday last, from the resident Herald correspondent at Zanxibar. It was telegraphed direct from Aden, having reached there, by the regular mail steamer from SSaniibar. It is a detailed confirmation of the rumor which formerly reached the continents of both KuroKJ and America, through the Herald expedition, that Stanley, the Herald correspondent, had found Livingstone, and that the two explorers were to gether at t'jyi. Stanley, it appears, reached Cjij. about the middle of last December, lie had Itecn compelled to take a very circuitous route to get to that city, as the regular caravan route had leen rendered impassable on account of a native war among the local chieftains, and it had bean only by good luck and perseverance that he managed to get through at all. At the time of Stanley's arrival Livingstone had temporarily left Vjijion an exploring expedition into the ueighlioring country, and had established his camp at Myembu, which 4s twenty days' march from Ijiji, and uhoiit midway between the lakes of Tanganyika and Victoria Nyuna. "This statement," says the editor of the Herald, "agrees exactly with our prediction at the time of the first arrival at Itombay, two years ago, of the news of Livingstone having safely reached lTjiji, that the great traveler would probably sH-nda considerable lime in exploring the chain of huge Interior lakes which we now know exist in this part of Africa." Soon after Stanley reached Ijiji, how- ever,Livingstone returned lo that pi nee, met and welcomed Stanley most heartily, and the two white men took up their residence together. The Herald thinks this dispatch Is in tho highest degree encouraging, and believes it difficult to conceive how its correctness can be called In question, when considered in connection with reports received from time to time during the past few months. Nothing is said regarding the health und future plans uf the two explorers. It Is now nearly seven years since Dr. Livingstone left England on ibis last expedition. What success has attended his seven years' toil, over and above his previous achievements In exploring unknown regions, the civilized world as yet knows nothing. It Is not impossible that his work is accomplished, and that his return ere this has been prevented by the jealousies and strifes of the native chiefs. H. (i. accept gracefully. H. (1. is not in the habit of declining anything; but singular enough everything tendered him is always something glittering that soon breaks into ashes and dust. Poor deluded man, he talks as if the work of the Comedy of Krrors Convention is " ap proved and ratified by the maw. of our fellow-citizens." It is common among tho bereaved relatives and friends of a dying man to hold out to him the comforting assurance that his condition Is not at all critical, that in reality he is getting Itelter all the time, ami will soon be re stored to health and vigor again, while at the same time they are execting his spirit to depart to the " Klysium l-'iclds" at any moment. 11.(1., be not deceived, but look your fate full in the face with Christian resignation. The New Haven Palladium, the chief supimrter of Senator Ferry, assures nil journals outside of Connecticut that have commented on the recent Senatorial election, that they "will save themselves a great deal of trouble by taking notice of the fact that every Republican who voted for Mr. Kerry execls to vote In November for the candidates of the Philadelphia Convention." iioititiiiLi; m run Kit. A Mother Kills Her Son with nil Ax. From II ih Zam's villi Cottrirr, lilxl.l A most horrid occurrence. look place about 8 o'clock yesterday morning, in Hich Hill township, this county, about halfway Iwtwccn Eix's Mills and Chandlers vi lie. At the txiint Indicated is a small cabin, built of fence rails, with the oiMwinsp unclose!, ana rooted with rough clapboards. This place is occupied by one Adercl Brewer and family, consisting of the father, mother, two grown up daughters, unnmrried, and one or more smaller children. The eldest daughter, Margaret Brewer, some, BO or 2( years old, was the mother of an illegitimate son, about six years old, who was yesterday the victim of the horriblo crime. The mother, it seems, has been, until recently, living away from home. The last place she lived was with a family near I,nncas-tcr, and always had her child with her. For some time past she and tho bov have lieen living at her father's, and it would seem not very pleasantly, owing to the presence of the bov, who was the subject of ill treatment, it Is said, by his grandfather and other members of the family, and which led to much unpleus-unt feeling, fueds and quarrels. It is said that the child had been subject to threats of violence by member of the family however, as to this, nothing Is absolutely known beyond the statement of the mother. Yesterday morning the mother took a common wood ax, and approached the bed where her son was sleeping, struck him with the edge of the ax twice, on the top ot me ueaa, cacti mow sinning tiic ax into tho skull up to the handle, scattering the blood nnd brains around over the bud nnd the rails of the house, and of course kill ing the clnlU instantly, lho woman s mother and sister, who were on tho out side of the house, saw her commit tho act through the ocn crevices In the cabin. Justice Hot, of (.'handlernville, was notified of the fact, and on repairing to the place, found the mother sitting on the foot of the Insd on which the Imy was laying with lus heaii split ojwn. rite woman, on being arraigned yesterday before Justice lletz, acting as Coroner, plead guilty to killing the child. The Justice ordered her committed to the countyJail to await the action of tho (Irand Jury. She was brought hero and placed in jail at 5 o'clock this morning. ' A very lnrge meeting of cltixcns assembled at the Court House in Portsmouth, Ohio, on Tuesday, to adopt measures for the construction of one or more railroads under the provision of the lloesel law. After numerous addresses and opinions of the law, a committee of fifteen was appointed to rcort upon the feasibility of building a road up Scioto Valley to the Pike county line, and another through this county and Lawrence to Hi trim's creek, tapping the Ohio and Chesaieake.

Dear Sir In compliance with your request I here repeat the substance of our conversation on the lust and approaching PresidenliaLelections, though 1 do nol suppose my opinions on such subjects are worthy of attention or reetition. You expressed some astonishment when I informed you that in 1808 1 was favorable to (ieneral Grant's election to the Presidency' of the United Slates, and was as decidedly in favor of his re-election. 1 will, again, give my reasons for this preference. t I It was my conviction, in 1818, that the election of a President, opposed by decided j majorities of both House of Congress, , would serve no purpose but to increase the ill-feeling and disquietude that followed j a like condition of affairs during Mr. Johnson's administration, ami, perhaps, to pave the way for more serious disorders and uneasiness. It wis also my conviction that an assured and peaceful Union was a necessity to the people of Virginia, and as much ho to those of the other Southern States, Whatever tended, directly or indirectly, to produce undue excitement, and thence, possibly, revolution, 1 deprecated as the greatest evil that could befall this country, agreeing with liulwer, that a "cause, which the noblest allow to be good, and which, when successful, all time approves, may seem to justify tho attempt at a revolution; yet recalling now all the evil passions it excites, all the ties it dissolves, all the blood it commands to How, all the healthful industry it arrests, nil the madmen it arms, all the victims that it dupes, I question whether one man really honest, pure und humane, who has once gone through such an ordeal, would ever hazard it again, unless he was assured that victory was certain; aye, anil the object for which he lights was not to be wrested from his hands amidst the uproar of the elements that the battle has aroused," Then, too. I had implicit cenlidcnce in General (iraut's earnest wish to "have peace," in his good will, and in his patriotism. This confidence originated in the terms he gave at Appomattox Court House to his great opponent and the battered remnant of that brave army that had staked its all upon a cause for which it was "no more to combat or to bleed," unit that had so long resisted his legions. These terms, that "each officer and man will be allowed to return to his home, not to Ih disturbed by the United States authority so long as they observe their paroles ami the laws in force where thev reside," are without a precedent in the history of all such struggles for their liberality, and were as wise as liberal, for while tbey effectually terminated the contest they protected those who surrendered from the legal consequences of waging war against the government, und probably saved from execution or imprisonment lxnnd scores of his gallant associates. The ellcctof these terms, us slated in General Grant's rejwrt of the closing operations of the war, was " that General lice's great influence throughout the South caused his example lo be followed, and to-day the result is that the armies lately under his leadership are nt their homes, desiring pence and quiet, and their arms are in the hands of ourordinance officers." lit the closing sentence of this report he pays to the Southern tnxqw so lately in arms against his own the fol lowing tribute : "Iiet them" (the Eastern, and Western United States armies) "hope for pcrctual peace und harmony with that enemy whose manhood, however mistaken the cause, drew forth such herculean deeds of valor." A tribute most grateful to the devoted men composing the Southern armies, and most honorable to its author. It seems to me that since the return of peace (ieneral Grant aim bus been to relieve the Southern people to the extent of hi anility, attempting nothing which the controlling power of the North would not allow, and tins was exjiemcnt as well us necessary. That he has not accomplished all that was hoped for or expected perhaps is true; but It was simply impossible. His favorable and friendly report on the condition of the South, made as General Commanding the Armies of the United Slates, that excited the censure of some members of Ins own party, is nn illustration. The fact that "Virginians now rule Virginia" is one result of (ieneral Grant's sympathy and good feeling for the State and people, and his active interference in their beli all". Virginia is the oulv State whose rela tions to the General Government have been renewed since he became the chief executive olficer of the nation. Without his aid the leople would not have I teen allowed to vote separately on the otlpnsive and rejected articles of the present Constitution. The whole would have been adopted, and as a necessary consequence, the State would to-day be no lie Iter off than the worst governed Southern State. Looking at all this, 1 think I am right in asserting that General (irant has done more to heal the wounds of war than any other one of the great political party to which he Mongs. llclievlug this, f acknowledge It, and urn ready and willing to show my appreciation and gratitude in anv becoming manner. lucre is u loim cry or corruption against the present Administration, but I have heard a like crv so lone: it was loud er in the days of Jackson, so much louder that my ears still ring with its echoes, and so often it is always the battle-cry of the "outs" that 1 do not put full trust in it or pay much regard to it. Of the reasons you of the North have for supHjrtiug General Grant Mrhap I ought not to scak, yet I will say that if military successes ever merit civil rewards, then Is General Grant entitled to all you can give. Excepting the important victory at Gettysburg, he was the lender in almost every triumph of the Union arms. Fort Dnnetson, icksburg. with vast stores und upwards of 30,000 prisoners, Chuttuitooga and Missionary Midge, and the finale at Appomntlox'Coiirt J louse, attest this. Thou eh the end was reached hv fearful losses, by the wearing out by attrition of noutticru armies, yet such losses were required lo disorganize, and overcome such armies. It was the only mode of ending the war, for had the morale and organization of the Confederate armies been not thus destroyed, war would now exist. That our country has been spared from so continued a calumny all should rejoico; and trusting 1 have not worn nut your patience, 1 remain yours, sincerely, Hksj. H. ICwki.i.. Tut unprecedented number of'lO.iXKl immigrants arrived nt Castle Garden yesterday. In spite of all predictions to the contrary, It would apear as If the tide of foreign arrivals In IH72 would be of ureal-cr volume than in any year of our history. The hundreds of pleasure-seekers whom enclt "steamer day" shows to lie taking money from these shores to enrich European hotel-keeiiers, withal, arc more than counterbalanced by tho solid addition lo our permanent wealth, supplied by the accession to ourpopulatioii of a moderate- sized city per day. Every measure which tends to smnolhe the difficulties in the wav of emigrants tends, therefore, to the lightening of the burdens of taxation, the improvement of nationol credit, and the Iirogivssive development of our resources, 'ongress might profitably devote n little time tn tho consideration of tho President's recommendations under this head, even during the short time that remains of the session. ,Y.

Logan, of Sangamon county, President, with Vice Presidents from each , District. On taking his seat .Judge Ixigan made an eloquent speech, which was loudly cheered. On motion, the Convention proceeded to nominate candidate for State officers, (ieneral Richard J. Oglesby was nominat ed for Governor bv acclamation, after an Informal ballot, and General J. L' Iteveridge was nominated for Lieutenant Governor, also by reclamation. For Auditor General, C K. Lippciicolt was nominated by acclamation, nil opposition being withdrawn before, the first ballot was taken. Colonel (ieorge Hai lan was nominated lor Secretary of State; K. Rutz, of St. Clair, for Treasurer, and J. K. Ivlsull, of Lev, for Attorney General. The committee on Resolutions, through (ieneral Raiiiu, reported it platform, which wag adopted with iuiint'iiso applause. The following is a synopsis of the resolutions adopted : The first declares past wis of the He-publican party a better guarantee than mere resolutions of a new party, and records the achievements of the Republican party in the destruction of slavery, the introduction of civil service reform, the adoption of the eight-hour system of labor in the public service, the Maintenance of a policy fully protecting naturalized citizens from claims of foreign allegiance, in honesty and justice to both settlers and Indians in its Indian policy, in the suppression of the rebellion, a measurable restoration of pence and order, through the magnanimous treatment of rebels. The second extols the financial policy of the party, which has reduced both national debt ami national tax, placed the credit of the nation in the best condition, ami furnished the coplc a gootl national currency. The thinl dcrlares that no other party can be safety entrusted with the Nulinmd Government. The fourth declares, a fundamental principle of the Republican party, the right and duty of its supporters to criticise National, State or Municipal Governments, and asserts that no party ever existed in the country that can boast of so much independence of thought, speech und action. The fifth declares that nil sovereignity emanates from the K-ojdc, a portion of which they have nclrgatm to the .National Government, with the larger portion to the State governments, reserving to themselves the residue in lulls of rights and restrictions against encroachments by National, Stale ami Municipal governments, ami that nn Ucpublicau wishes to deprive the nation, States, counties, cities, towns or iudividuaU of any of their legitimate constitutional rights; and all pretenses that the Rpuhlivau party desire or intends to establish a consolidated government of unlimited powers are gratuitous slanders. The sixth and seventh resolutions arc as follows; (1th, Tlmt the ltepnhlicau party is a party of progress and human rights and ilestinies. e are lor emialitv ol all be fore the law. and the preservation of con stitutional rights, and wo disapprove of an unconsiiiuitonai legislation lor the cure of anv of the disorder of society-. whether irreligious, i n tent l h ranee . or anv other evil.

The. oulv (i nest ion bit is how to ho adjust the tariff that it will most promote tnc lanor, ministry ami general welfare of the country, without being oppressive to any interests of society, and we know of no better way lo dispose of these subjects than that adopted bv the Ivcputilicau party in Congress to learn wisdom by exHriciice, reduce taxation as fast as possible, nnd remove unnecessary burdens ii)Hn the necessities of life. The eighth declares that In adjusting a system of taxation cure should be taken to so arrange the tax as In press least uimjii the growing interests of the country and chcaR'n the necessaries of labor. The ninth indorse tho recommendation of President Grant for national legislation for protection lo immigrants. The umtli expresses gratitude of the nation lo thesohliers nnd sailors.

The follow ing arc extracts: "The American Consul having informed mc that there was no cause whatever for the detention of the Virgin in, and that he had shipped her crew that day, and that her paper would be all ready at on early hour next morning, the 2fith inst, 1 therefore came on bourd the ship, and as soon as nicbt set in clear ed the ship for action and loaded the bat tery. Ibis I did under cover of darkness, for the reason that I thought it best to make no demonstration which might lead the commander of the Piarro to believe preparations were being made with hostile intent, for the reason that they were precautionary measures merely, and 1 did not desire tn do nnvthinff wliirdi ho miirlit construe as mere bravado. During next morning, 20th Inst., preparations for sea were clearly visible on board the Virgin-ius. Her motions were closely followed by the Pizurro, Roth vessels were getting up steam and their boats were hoist ed. The large rifle pivot of the Pi-uirro mounted on the mortar deck. was pointed on the Virginius, as well ns her two starboard broadside guns, 1 therefore Pent the men quietly to their quarters, making no display above rail, neither showing a crew at the rifled twenty-pounder on the forecastle, nor making a display of marine guard on the poop deck; served out an ample supply ot ammunition for small arms and pistols, and insiiectcd carefully all arrangements uir supplying powitcr ami lighting with the guns; made preparations for slipping and buoying cable. This Wing done, I ;iusetl the men to leave their quar ter-, their twit equipped, to bo deposited at the guns ready for use at n moment s notice. At five minutes to two p. m., the Virginius got under weigh. At the same moment we Hipped our chain, went to uunrlers ami cast loose the buttery and sanded down decks fore and aft. The Virginius immediately took up position on our port bow. We steumed ahead, so as to bring the Pi-zarro on our starboard quarter. In this relative imsltlon the two vessels proceed ed to sea, the Virginius being about two calilcs length ahead and the rizarro three cables' length off our starboard quarter. The Kansas staid by the Virginius until the Pizarro, some five miles astern, returned to the harbor. "1 cannot conclude this report without expressing to you with what pride I looked on officers and men of this vessel as arc steamed out of (he harbor. As they stood on the sanded deck, armed and cquiped at their loaded guns, 1 could read determination in the faces uf all. Kvcrv man would have done his duty should an engagement have taken place. I leave it to those who believe in Dahl-gren guns and American mcn-of-warsmcn, to conjecture what would have leen the result."

'The Ssaker presented the House Amnesty bill of the Llth of May, with indorsement of its passage by the Senate by the requisite two-thirds vote. He direct ed (he bill to Iw read in full, Imcuuso the question was raised whether the approval of the President wns required. Mr. Bingham contended that it was, and a colloquy ensued between the Speaker and members. Tho Sneaker finally stilted that be wua informed by ttie Clerk that all Amnesty lulls heretofore passed were sent lo the President for his signature. Mr. Randall inquired how the matter would stand if the President should not sign the bill. The Speaker That is a question for Congress, not for the Chair, it is the duty of the Choir to follow the precedents und practices of the House. It is purely a ministerial duty on his part, and does not involve any constitutional question. Mr. Randall I have not the least objection, if it will gratify the Republican party, that the President sliall sign the Amnesty bill at this eleventh hour. Mr. Bingham Especially after the President's recommending amnesty in his message. Mr. Reck -I desire to submit a resolution nn thut point. Tho Speaker declined to entertain It. Mr. Beck By what authority does the Speaker send ttie bill to the President ? Ttie Sjieakcr Because all other like bills have been sent to him. The Clerk informs the Chair that the practice lias been usual and universal. Mr. Beck That may be so. The Speaker Then why should the Chair assume to change the practice of the House? Mr. Beck Whv not let the House ex press its opinion on that point ? The Speaker If unanimous consent be given the Chair will submit the ques tion. Mr. Bingham 1 object. The SpeakerThen the Chair cannot overlook it as a question of privilege f Mr. v ox i rise to a parliamentary question. 1 would like, if possible, to avoid complications in this matter. Hup- Jiose tho President should retain this bill or ten days, until 'ImiIIi Houses shall have adjourned, what effect would that have on the law ? Ttie Speaker That is not a parliamentary point. It is not for the Speaker of the House to answer questions ns tn the probable course nf the President of the I nited Mates. Mr. Cox I want to avoid trouble on this matter. Ttie Speaker There will not l any. Mr. Cox I want amnesty adopted. Mr. Randall moved thnt Mr. Rogers of North Carolina, a member elect, whose disabilities nre removed by (Mr bill, be sworn in. The SHakcr slated that that brought up the same question in a different shape, and he declined to entertain the motion. Mr. Dawes expressed regret that all anxiety for amnesty seemed lo bo changed into solicitude lest the President should approve the bill. Mr. Randall Then is no siuli issue at all. The Sneaker repeated that the precedents hud been to send such hills lo the President, and ho would therefore wait to swear in Mr. Rogers until ihe bill was signed. He would give it ns his opinion, however, that the House would nol have to wait very long. Tho House then went into committee of the Whole on sundry civil appropriation hills.
