DOUGLAS AND LINCOLN - The Canvass in Illinois.
-The canvass in Illinois is progressing with great spirit. After Mr. DOUGLAS had been in Illinois several days and his appointments for stumping the State had been made and published by the State Committee, Mr. LINCOLN challenged him to a joint discussion throughout the State. He replied that his arrangements were made, when LINCOLN'S organs announced that Mr. DOUGLAS declined the challenge. This was just the object sought in delaying the challenge until Senator D's appointments had been perfected. He has, however, much to their disappointment, accommodated Mr. LINCOLN, and they will speak at the principal points in the State, commencing August 21st and ending October 15th.

SAD ACCIDENT - The N. Y. Sun of Monday has the following:
Last evening about 7 o'clock, a young woman named Mary A. CHALAU, aged 20
years, committed suicide by jumping out of the 5th story window of the tenement
house No. 143 Thompson street. It appears she was married a short time since,
to an Italian named Charles CHALAU, who is a carpenter by trade, and has been
out of employment ever since their marriage. CHALAU looked all over the city
yesterday for work and returned in the evening unsuccessful and dispirited.
His wife said there was nothing to eat, and he replied by saying "Mary,
I will go to sea and you will return to your parents until better times."
As CHALAU put his hand on the knob of the door to go out, she jumped out of
the window, striking a shutter in the descent, thereby breaking her back. She
was picked up dead and conveyed to her apartments.
The poor husband is almost crazy.

Rochester and its Surroundings.
Some sensible individual, who writes over the signature of "L.," sends
the Albany Express the following letter from this city:
Rochester, August, 1858.
Wait until I put on my rhetorical stilts. Now then! The New
York Central line of Railroads, between Albany and Buffalo, is strung with many
gems and pearls that glisten in the sunlight, and flash with rare, resplendent
beauty across the enraptured vision of the traveler, as he glides with the
rapidity
of accelerated lightning over the country. Among the larger sized pearls that
there shine with undiminished lustre, Rochester, in the opinion of your
venerable correspondent, is the brightest and best. The broad streets and
spacious avenues here, laid out with commendable regularity, are well
shaded, and lined with elegant mansions surrounded by parks and pleasure grounds
that bloom with perennial loveliness. Indeed, pocket editions of
Eden meet you at every step.
The society, too, is every way in keeping with the place.
There is an absence of that stiffness and formality usually found among the
"Upper Ten"
of other metropolitan cities, and in the place of aristocratic pretensions to
"blood," or an undue pride in the accumulation of "circulating
medium,"
either of which feeling is so apt to give one's nose an astronomical turn, the
Rochesterians are characterized by genuine kindness and courtesy, by a
refined hospitality which they manifest towards strangers as well as among
themselves and by the happy determination to enjoy and make the most of the
vermillion tinted side of life.
Here we are in the midst of Summer, the dog star rampant, the
mercury some distance from zero, and yet tea, tableaux, and conversay shionee
parties (excuse me, I can't help introducing a French word or two,) are still in
order, and the Lancers are danced as vigorously as at Saratoga or
Newport. This is a happy state of things, you must allow, and it indicates very
truthfully that sociability - a love for fusion and amalgamation of the
proper kind - is one of the predominant traits in the character of the good
people here.
There are many objects of interest in and near the city well
worth visiting, some of which are eminently calculated to inspire the liveliest
interest on the part of the beholder. The Genesee falls, for instance! These did
not exactly come up to my anticipations. Fancy, if you please, two pints of
water tumbling in a very dignified, yet painful manner over a dozen large rocks,
as if each individual drop was distressed with the stomach ache, and you have a
faint conception of the majesty, grandeur and sublimity of the Falls in
question. As you sit on a damp rock, and listen to the roar of the tailing
waters, the deep base thunders of Niagara are forgotten, and the wail of Egypt
for its first born seems but a summer's zephyr.
A short distance above the Falls are located those mills
which have acquired a world wide reputation - the Flour Mills of Rochester. They
are built of substantial materials, are kept running day and night, and some of
them turn out from eight hundred to one thousand barrels of flour daily. It is
interesting to witness the ease and rapidity with which a few bushels of wheat
are dumped into a hopper, ground up, slammed into a barrel - the
barrel weighed, headed up, branded "A No. 1 Extra Family Genesee
Wheat," and toted down to the Rochester Transportation Company's boats for
shipment to New York. As I seldom indulge in flowery expressions, I will simply
say, that the whole thing is accomplished before you can say "Jack
Robinson." The millers, to a man, are polite, well bred gentlemen, and are
only too happy to show you over their respective establishments As last year's
profits were almost, if not quite, imperceptible to them, I hope that the
"ten mills" our party visited, will make considerable more than
"one cent" this season.
From flour mills to club boats is rather an abrupt
transition, but I am going to make it, nevertheless. One of the handsomest boats
here is called
the Minne, a namesake, probably, without the laugh, of our Albany Minnehaha. She
is a fine specimen of naval architecture - light as a feather, straight as an
arrow, slender as Cinderella's slippers, - she is the pride and delight of a
number of Rochester buys who understand the manly art of rowing to perfection.
Accidents will happen, even among "old salts," and on one of our
moonlight excursions, a few evenings since, a former resident of your city - a
gentleman well known to many of your readers - narrowly escaped with his life.
Yes, sir, one of Adam's noblest sons got decidedly wet. I will not venture to
describe the agonizing sensations that took possession of me, as I saw the
magnificent proportions of my oleaginous friend gracefully sink beneath the blue
waves of the Genesee! That the rest of us watched for his re-appearance with
some anxiety of mind, you may well believe. He was soon seen "to
blow," and was finally fished up, and wrung out and made to feel as good as
new. As there was to be no melancholy announcement in the morning papers, no
glowing obituary, no long procession, black waving plumes and marble
sarcophagus, we concluded to partake of the hospitality of our French friend,
old Bourbon, whose ministrations were attended with the happiest result.
The fishing in Irondequoit Bay, about six miles from the
city, is of a superior kind. We tried it on one afternoon and caught a
consumptive-looking
perch, a bad cold, and a gentle scolding for staying out too late. It was
evident that our lines were not cast in pleasant places, and that the apostolic art of catching fish was not among our accomplishments.
But time and space alike forbid my writing as I could wish in
regard to all that has transpired since I have been here. Reader, if you have
"friends," "relatives" or "acquaintances" in
Rochester, don't be so foolish as to go to New York, to dress up in red flannel,
and make your eyes and ears a receptacle for salt water; don t distress your
digestive organs with copious draughts of sulphur water at Sharon, but start at
once for the loveliest city in the Union - Rochester. You will find there hearts
that are irresistible, and homes that no bachelor can contemplate without envy,
and in which the refinements, elegancies, and hospitalities of this life, are
dispensed with unbounded prodigality.

EVENING REPORT.
THE ATLANTIC CABLE SUCCESSFULLY WORKING!
RECEIPT OF THE QUEEN'S MESSAGE
Reply of President Buchanan
THE GRAND ENTERPRISE TRIUMPHANT!
NOW LET THE CANNONS ROAR!
THE QUEEN'S MESSAGE.
To the Hon. the President of the United States:
Her Majesty desires to congratulate the President upon the successful completion
of this great International Work, in which the Queen has taken
the deepest interest.
Cyrus STATION, Aug. 16.
To the Directors of the Atlantic Telegraph Co:
Europe and America are united by Telegraph. Glory to God in the highest! On
Earth Peace, good will toward men!
Signature, Directors Atlantic Telegraph Co., Great Britain.
The Queen's Message at Washington.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 16 - The intelligence of the reception of the Queen's Message
rapidly spread throughout the city, aid this evidence of the
successful working of the Telegraph Cable occasioned much rejoicing. In some
quarters, however, its authenticity was doubted, until a despatch from the
general agent of the Associated Press removed all doubt. The first information
on the subject to the President, was communicated through Senator Bigler, from
information obtained from the Washington Associated Press agency: and the
President returned to the city from the Soldier's Home and received at the White
Rouse the Message from Her Majesty Queen Victoria.
He then prepared a suitable reply.
The Queen's message was received by the President with some
doubts as to its authenticity. The matter was relieved of all doubt by the
following
message from the Superintendent of the Newfoundland line:
TRINITY BAY. Aug. 16 - 7 P. M.
The message to the President purporting to be from the Queen, actually came over
the Atlantic cable from Valentia, Ireland, and is unquestionably
authentic.
The President's reply will be sent as soon as received.
Signature, A. MACKAY.
THE PRESIDENT'S REPLY TO THE QUEEN'S MESSAGE.
To Her Majesty. Victoria, Queen of Great Britain:
The President cordially reciprocates the congratulations of
Her Majesty the Queen, on the success of the great International Enterprise,
accomplished by the science, skill and indomitable energy of the two countries.
It is a triumph more glorious, because far more useful to mankind, than was ever
won by conquerers on the field of battle.
May the Atlantic Telegraph, under the blessing of Heaven,
prove to be a bond of perpetual peace and friendship between the kindred
nations, and an instrument destined by Divine Providence to diffuse Religion,
Civilization, Liberty and Law throughout the land.
In this view, will not all the nations of Christendom
spontaneously unite in the declaration that it shall be forever neutral, and
that its communications be held sacred in passing their places of destination,
even in the midst of hostilities.
(Signed) JAMES BUCHANAN.

Impromptu Celebration.
Immediately upon the issue of an Extra from the Democrat and
American office last night, announcing the receipt of the Queen's message, the
enthusiasm of the people broke out. Somebody ran to the Court House and
commenced ringing the bell, and in a few moments all the bells of the city were
responding. Of course the first idea of everybody was a fire, and the machines
were soon in the streets. Each company was met at the corner of State street
with the news, and each in turn gave three cheers on receiving it, after which
they returned to their houses. Nos. 3, 6 and 7, however, were exceptions, and
stopped to play for a while in front of the Court House, where a bonfire was
already brightly blazing.
Another bonfire was soon going at the Osburn House corners,
and shortly Perkins Band came out, and taking post in front of the Court
House, played several airs.
Rockets and Roman Candles began about this time to shed their
glare upon the streets, which were full of people, who were drawn from their
beds by the unusual commotion. The Democrat and American office was besieged by
large numbers, all anxious to secure an extra containing the Queen's Message.
Within half an hour after the bells commenced ringing, a
detachment of the Union Grays reached Main Street Bridge with a field piece, and
fired a
salute of thirteen guns, rousing the whole city by the thundering reports.
The enthusiasm prevalent, knew no bounds, and everybody in
the streets was wild with excitement.
The Band finally went into the Arcade and played in front of
the Telegraph Office, drawing thither a large crowd. At length somebody
suggested the idea of opening Corinthian Hall, and the consent of Mr. Reynolds
having been obtained, the doors were thrown open. Several hundred people
congregated within immediately, and after a piece of music by the band, loud
cries were raised for Mr. Roswell Hart. That gentleman went upon the stand and
addressed the assemblage for a few minutes on the auspicious event which had
called it together. We have no space in which to attempt a report.
After Mr. Hart concluded, the band played "The
Star-Spangled Banner," and it was afterward sung by the whole assemblage.
This was followed by "God Save the Queen," in which also the audience
joined with great emphasis. The whole scene was one to be remembered long by
those who witnessed it.
"Yankee Doodle," by the Band, followed next in
order, and when we left the hall, Hon. Thomas Parsons was speaking, amid great
demonstrations of applause.
The streets did not assume their wonted aspect till long past
midnight, and we presume the excitement will continue throughout to-day and this
evening, when the regular celebration comes off, according to the programme
published this morning.
****
PREPARATIONS FOR THE CELEBRATION.
The following committees have been appointed to attend to the
preparations necessary for a proper celebration in honor of the Atlantic
Telegraph:
On General Illumination, Fire Works and Music- Messrs. T.
Parsons, Hiram Sibley, C. N. Simmons, W. H. Ward, Isaac Butts, M. F. Reynolds
and C. T. Amsden.
On Ringing of Bells - Geo. W. Parsons.
On Salutes - Capt. N. Thompson.
On Torch Lights - Z. Weaver and T. Grannis, Jr.
On Military - Major T. T. Morse and Lieut. Geo. W. Lewis.
These committees met last evening at the Mayor's Office, and
in accordance with the arrangements made by them, the following is to be the
programme for the celebration:
At 9 o clock A. M., the bells of the city will be rung for
half an hour.
In the evening, there will be a general illumination, a
salute of one hundred guns, a procession of military and firemen (the latter
with torches), speeches, and a brilliant display of fireworks on Buffalo street,
just west of Fitzhugh street, facing eastward, so that it may be seen through
the whole length of Main and Buffalo streets from that point.
The procession will form on North and South St. Paul streets,
at a quarter before 8 o clock, at which time the illumination is to begin. The
military will form on South St. Paul street, with the right resting on Main
street, and the firemen will form on North St. Paul street, with the right
resting on Main street. The route of march will be as follows: Up Main street to
the Liberty Pole, and countermarching down Main and Buffalo to State street,
down State street to the Waverley House, countermarching up State street again
and through Exchange street to the canal bridge, thence countermarching to
Buffalo street, and then to the front of the Court House.
Short addresses will then be made from the balcony at the
corner of the Rochester Savings Bank building, after which the exhibition of
fireworks
will be given. These have been prepared by Mr. Palmer with great care, and will
probably be equal to any previous effort of this skillful pyrotechnist.
The main piece which will be reserved to till the last, is forty-four feet in
length and the devices are intended to be appropriate to the great event
celebrated:
During the march of the procession the bells of the city will
be rung.
The committee last evening passed a resolution requesting our
citizens to illuminate their buildings at a quarter before 8 o clock this
evening, and we understand that to be the general intention.

ESCAPES PROM THE HOUSE OF REFUGE.
No less than eight boys made their escape from the House of
Refuge Saturday, instead of three, as we stated yesterday morning. It seems that
the thing was done in this wise: The boys were going through with their
ablutions in the bathroom, by gangs, and as they got through were let out into
the yard. Seizing a moment when they were unobserved, these eight went behind
one of the workshops, and getting a long plank from a pile of lumber,
placed it against the wall, and over they went. The whole party went down
through Deep Hollow, and as we are informed were seen by some of the men
employed there. Below Deep Hollow the boys became separated, and three of them
went toward Kelsey's Landing, but were met by two men who secured them, as
stated yesterday morning. Two others were subsequently captured by the officers
of the institution. Three are still at large. Their names are Burchell, Hamblin
and Hays, and their ages are from fifteen to seventeen. Burchell belongs in this
city, and was connected with the Ange boy, whose mother assisted him to escape
some months since, but who was afterward captured at his mother's house, dressed
in girl's clothes. Hamblin is the boy who was concerned with another named
Sattimore, in setting fire to the house of Refuge two years ago. Sattimore was
sent to the State Prison, but Hamblin was too young, although he was the
instigator of the crime. Hays was sent to the Refuge from Oswego, where his
parents resided at the time he was incarcerated; but as they have since removed
to Dubuque, Iowa, he will probably try to make his way to them. He attempted to
get out by sawing off the bars in a window, two or three weeks since, but was
detected and punished.
At the very time these boys made their escape, the managers
of the House of Refuge were holding a session in the city, at which
Superintendent Wood was present, to devise means for the prevention of such
efforts. The walls about the buildings were originally built, or intended to be
built twenty feet high, with a wooden coping on the top, but they are in fact
little more than eighteen feet high from the surface of the ground inside, owing
to the grading and other improvements that have been made since the
establishment went into operation. The consequence is, that a smart, active boy,
finds little difficulty in getting over them by the aid of a plank, stolen from
some of the piles of lumber intended to be used in the shops. The managers have
had this circumstance under consideration for some time, and at the meeting on
Saturday it was resolved to increase the height of the walls four feet, and
secure the top by a stone coping, which will be less convenient to clamber over
than the wooden one now there. In the meantime, a watchman is to be employed to
watch the walls as long as they are in their present condition.
A very great proportion of the boys who are confined in the
House of Refuge, need as careful guardianship as the convicts in our State
Prisons, and in fact some of them ought really to be in the latter. It is no
uncommon occurrence in our courts of justice, that young men who are convicted
of crimes, and are old enough to be sent under the law, to the State Prison,
will swear, and their friends will swear for them, that their ages are less than
they really are, in order to procure sentences to the House of Refuge, instead
of to the proper place; and in consequence, not a few of the "boys"
there, are actually men, both in years and iniquity. The consequence is, that in
the freedom of intercourse which is allowed among the inmates of the
House of Refuge, the elders contaminate the juniors to some extent
notwithstanding the vigilant watchfulness of Superintendent Wood and his
subordinates.
To remedy this evil, it will be found necessary, ere long, to
establish a system of classification in the House, and to keep the most
desperate of
the young rogues separate from those who are less inclined to plot, and less
able to execute mischief. Under the present arrangement, one rascal will
indoctrinate a dozen comparatively innocent companions with his own tendencies
to evil, in spite of all precautions.

TARGET SHOOT OF THE GRAYS AND LIGHT GUARD.
To-morrow at 9 o clock, the Rochester Union Grays (Artillery)
and the Rochester Light Guard (Infantry) will leave the Armory of the 54th
Regiment, in Minerva Block, and proceed to the Newport House, Irondequoit Bay,
for practice in target shooting. The Grays will ride on their gun carriages and
caisons as usual, and the Light Guard will be conveyed to the scene of the day's
operations in carriages. Both Companies will dine at the Newport House, kept by
Mr. Holman, and we presume that the gentleman will make ample provision for the
crowd of spectators which may be expected to visit his house on the occasion.
The target shooting will not commence till the afternoon. The
Grays will have their target set on the east side of the Bay, in a northeast
direction
from the Newport House, near which the guns will be posted. The Light Guard will
fire at a target which is to be set on the opposite side of the little
cove north of the Newport House.
There is no doubt that many of our citizens will seize upon
this opportunity to witness a little artillery practice, as it is seldom that a
chance to do so is afforded them. We believe it is eight years ago this summer
since the Grays had any target practice with their field pieces. They went then
to the Float Bridge, and a very large number of spectators attended. The present
occasion will be made still more attractive by the fact that the Light Guard is
to accompany the Grays, so that artillery and small arms firing may be seen at
the same time.
We acknowledge an invitation from the Grays to become their
guest for the day, and shall endeavor to be on hand, during the afternoon at
least.

A CARD OF THANKS TO THE RAILROAD
MEN AT ROCHESTER - The afflicted and bereaved mother of James H. Vosburgh, (who
was killed on the 29th of March, by his head coming in contact with a bridge,
while standing upon the top of a car,) desires through the columns of your paper
to express her deep sense of gratitude for the benevolence, kindness and
sympathy manifested by the railroad men in her behalf. Those who in their
generosity procured the massive gilt frame for the portrait of her darling boy,
executed gratuitously by Mr. B. F. Hale, portrait painter, and for the set of
tombstones they have ordered to mark the last resting place of their late
companion, thereby testifying to their love and respect for him, and seeking to
comfort his mourning mother, who, as she gazes upon the beautiful and life-like
portrait of her departed son, will ever cherish the memory of her kind friends
at Rochester, with a mother's silent thanks, a mother's deepest gratitude.

Died at the Jail - A few days since, a man named A. O. CODDING, who lived on Canal street, and is said to be a good mechanic, came to the Police Office, as he has done several times before, and requested to be sent to jail for a few days, to be kept from the immoderate use of liquor, as he was about to undergo an attack of delirium tremens, His application was granted, and everything possible was done to relieve him, but his constitution weakened by the fatal indulgence to which he was addicted, proved unable to withstand the shock, and Wednesday night he died. He was between thirty and forty years of age, and leaves a wife, but no children.
This is the first death that has occurred at the jail from this cause since Mr. MERRILL has been in charge of that institution although several hundred cases have been treated there in that time.
