iongréss Adjourned.
«The memorable 39th Congress‘has ad-
journed, For eight months the Representa-
fives of the people have labored with far
more than usual fidelity and application to
secure the nation’s weal. The temptation
for strong men and ambitious men was
strong to betray liberty and go where Execu-
tive smiles and official favor should reward
the obsequious surrender. But next to none
have bowed the kneeto the short-sighted and
shorter-lived Baal.~ The character of this
' congress, never exceeded in ability, with its
acts,- will live in history. There have been
miny enactments we should gladly have
seen rejected—others that the whole nation
should rejoice to see inforced. Taken all
in'ali, there is much, very much to commend
and very little to rebuke or regret. The
hearty repeal of the Neutrality laws, and the
resolution instructing thePresident to secure
the releaserof the Fenian prisoners in Cana-
da, ought to secure to the Republican side
‘tbc support of the misguided, but honest
meshing of the Celtic race, but we have no
hope that so long as whiskey is the chief re-
liance of modern democracy that the scales
will fall from the eyes of the impulsive Irish-
man. The Bounty Bill is far from being
what-it should be,but is better than nothing
sadism prove mainly satisfactory to the he-
roes nowcout of service. May the 401k Con-
gress prove as able and faithful.

f Tennessee Admitted.
As soon as “Parson Brownlow” telegraph-
ed to Washington that Tennessee had ratifi-
ed the Constitutional Amendment, a resolu-
tion was passed through Congress admitting
her-Representatives to seats in either branch.
The delegation was at once sworn in the
House and subsequently her Senators, were
admitted. The event is said to have nettled
the President beyond measure. He approves
the bill, but scolds and frets and chafes like
some old woman, while his private Secreta-
ry publicly confesses that it has “upset all
his purposes and plans.”

This grandest achievement of modern civ-
' ilization and geniushas again been complet-
ed and this time is in perfect working order.
We may now hope to have laid upon our
breakfast table the impurtant news from all
the old world capitals of the day previous.
To the American public, no little satisfaction
may be indulged that but for our citizen, Cr-
nus W. From, this wonderful consumma-
tion, (the august magnitude of which none
can now measure,) would not have been an
established fact. God grant so greats tri-
umph of human skill may be promotive
of National comity and universal brother-
hood.

Gold and Breadstnfi's.
The news that a treaty of peace has been
signed between Austria and Prnsia, which
was received yesterday by the Atlantic Cable,
has caused a decline both in gold and bread-
stufi‘s. The price of gold to-day has been
about 47 per cent. premium, a decline of
nearly three per cent. since Saturday. The
decline undoubtedly would have been much
greater but for the fact that an amendment
of the tariff which adds the cost of packages
and other expenses to the dutable charges af-
ter tomorrow, on importations, has caused
a temporary demand for gold to take goods
from the Custom House and public stores.

The .Robbcry of the Savings
_ ; Bank.
" We learn that up to this Monday a. m., the
thieves who robbed the Savings Bank on
Monday last, have not been arrested, though
it. is probable that they will be ere many
days. Several papers in this state and else-
where in condensing our statement of the
robbery, have so altered it as to make it ap-
pear that the Savings Bank was the principal
loser'which we are requested to state is not
the fact. - The loss of the Bank is but Five
Hundred dollars, the balance of the amount
stolen'belonging to individuals and the Agri-
cultural Society. .‘.
Tn: WAR m Echelon—The announce-
ment of the ending of the European war,
last week, was premature, Prussia and Italy
seemed inclined to fight it out. During
the week we have bad news of several en-
gagements, the, most important of which
was asbattle between the Prussian and Au-
strian armies near theilittlc village of Sa-
down, in the north of Austria. It is reported
that-the Prussian army numbered 250,000
'men,;‘aod that the Austrian army was nearly
as-large. The result wasavictory for the
Prussian. The Aust'ian army had since
received reinforcements and was prepairing
for'auother fight. News, by the Atlantic
Telegraph, however, states that Prussia and
Austria entered into an armistice,and finally,
that ,“ treaty of peace had becn signed by
Austria and Prussia. The Prussian army
was within so miles of the Austrian capital,
meeting with continued successes, and if
peaceihas really been declared, the demands
of'Prussia have undoubtedly been acceded
to. 1A Berlin semi-official paper gives the
following as the Prussian demands in addi-
tion toéth‘e complete settlement of the ques-
tioii'ofithe Duchies, which in future are to
act'iiiiunison and be under the control of
Prussia :
“Mania demands, as the principal object
of " war, the establishment of the unity of
Northern Germany under the leadership of
Pmsbia. and, moreover, requiring the exclu-
sion or Austria’s influence as a power of the
Confederation. All that Prussia asks is the
establishment of a union of her Eastern and
Western Provinces, which has become indis-
pensably necessary. The Emperor Napole-
on,‘ recognizing the justice and moderation
of these demands, has accepted the same as
a basis of peace, and has resolved to remain
neutral in the event of their being refused
by Austria.

Choice of the Gris‘mpus Club.
NANTUCKET, Mass; July 28th, 1866.
DEAR GAZETTE—The old Grampus Club
started as per mnouncemcnt in your col-
umns, on their annual Summer cruise down
east, on Tuesday morning, with the leave-
taking customary on those occasions, from
lips, throats, drums. files, and guns.
We have had the usual comical, and phys-
ical incidents of the trip, in which “South-
pan" alias Wright has occupied the place of
the inimitabie‘Gordon of last season, but
knowing your limited space for details, I for-
hear to particularize, but simply say that
mirth and fun have reigned supreme and
"Southpan" is an institution.
. Tuesday forenoon we stopped ofi Gay
Head, and while most of the party engaged
in fishing, a boat load of us went ashore and
visited the chief-deacon Simon,—whom we
found quite strong and hearty, but beginning
to show his age. .
In fishing, the “merchant prince of the old
Bridge Store had the honor of catching the
first fish.
At noon we came to anchor at Pasque 15‘
land (one of the seven sisters) where a new
Club House was to be opened, flag raised,
&c., by a New York Club who have bought
the whole Island, some tv'o or three miles
in extent, for a Summer rendezvous. We
were welcomed by an old "Grampus," J. H.
Jennings, Esq, of our place, who is 'a mem-
ber of the Pasque Island Club, and who in-
troduced us to the leading members, and
our Club were all invited ashore with their
Music, to partake of the hospitalities and
ceremonies of the day. Here while the mu-
sic played we sat down to a huge down-east
Clam-bake, the which, if time and space
would but permit, I should like to describe,
as it was a novelty to our club as also to
many of the Pasque Island guests. Among
the most prominent persons present were
Barnum, prince of Showmen ;' his ally of
Jenny Lind fame, Genin, the Hatter ; and
Phalon, the Night Blooming Cereus man.
They had alarge party and a' right good
time, and in behalf of our Club, the Scribe
would respectfully return thanks for their
generous hospitallties. ‘
We left Pasque Island Thursday morning,
and had a pleasant run to this place, arri-
ving at about noon ; 'viewed the town in the
afternoon, and all han da divided into parties
of four yesterday and went down the Bay
Blue fishing. Some of the boats had but
poor luck, but others did better; the skip-
per of the old Hyannis Packet, 2'. e. Com-
missary Fitch and his party brought in 90;
in all the club caught 180 odd.
Last evening the Band went up into the
square and entertained the towns people with
music, for which .they received hearty
thanks.
We leave here, bound Westward, to-day.
For the present, an retain Scams.

26, distance 128 miles, cable paid out 118!
miles; which with the shore end all Vai‘en-'
tia, distance 27 miles, cable paid out 29 miles,
makes the distance run 1,669 miles, and ca-
ble paid out 1,804 miles. We arrived at"
Heart’s Content at 8 A. M., on Friday, J My
27th. The average speed of the ship from.
the time the splice was made until we saw:
land, was a little less than 5 nautical miles
per hour, and the cable has been paid out at
an average of 5 1-2 miles per hour. \The to-
tal slack was less than 12 per cent. The
weather has been more pleasant than I have
ever knowu on, the Atlantic at this season of
the year. We have had alternate days of
rain, sunshine, fogs and sQualls. I have re-
quested Mr. John C. Dean, Secretary of the
Anglo- American Telegraph Company, to
send you by the first opportunity, for the as
sociated press, twenty-five copies of his dia-
ry, which will give you a detailed account'of
the ups and downs experienced in laying a
cable across the Atlantic. - We have been in
constant communication with Valentia since
the splice was made on the 18th, and have
daily received news from Europe, which was
pasted up outside of the telegraph ofilce', for
the information of all on board of the Great
Eastern, ‘ and signalled to the other ships.
After taking in coal, the telegraph fleet will
sail for the spot where the cable was lost last
year, recover the end, and complete a 'con-
tinuous line between ‘Ireland and New
Foundland, and then the Medway will pro-
ceed to lay a new cable across the Gulf 'of
St. Lawrence. The cable will be open for
business in a few days, and all messages will
be sent to Europe in the order in Which they
are' received at Heart’s Content. I cannot
find words suitable to convey my admiration
for the men who have so ably conducted the
nautical, engineering and electrical depart-
ments of this enterprise so successfully,
amidst difficulties which are required 5 to be
seen to be appreciated. In fact, all on board
of the telegraph fleet and all connected with
the enterprise have done their very best to'
have the cable madeond laid in perfect con-
dition, and He who rules the winds and the
waves has crowned their united efforts with
perfect success. Craps W. FIELD.

out the use of the aforesaid paint and party,
but with the best materials used in the art.
The successful establishm nt of this Gallery

business in which they are engaged and the

in the art, and confidently refer to almost
everybody who has favored us with a trial,
for testimonials of success. From the Da-
guereotypes made here by Austen 20 years
agoto the elegant “Cane” or Porcelain pic-
ture of the present day, is a long stride in
the march of improvement and the experi-
ence derived from practically following up
these changes cannowo otherwise than con-
tribute to the production of good pictures,
