FAUEWF.I.U Vt itli tfiis week our connection with tha Heiiald ccascn. It ia now seven years since we issued the first number of the IIlrald, in which we assured the then few readers of tho paper that wa would endeavor faithfully to advc ata the interests of the town, county and State, and make a paper that would contain a full history of passing events. How well we have fuIGiled that promise wc leave our friends and the readers of the paper during the seven years to say. We have had something to say upon all subjectii of interest, and have endeavored to advocate the right, regardless cf per sonal likes or dislikes. It is with feel ings of saine;s that we leave the Her ald, and part company, for the time, with its many readers. The paper seems almost liko cur o?rn flesh aud blood, while ita readers are as the friends of our youth ; cad it id only that we may laeor ia a broader fit-Id that ire are at all willing to part company with them. We have purchased a half interest in the State Journal at Lincoln, and will coaimeaoa operations there on the first cf March. . The Eew proprietors cf the IIruald, "essrs. Soybolt & Rrownleo, are good , jd true men, and will, we doubt not, improve the paper in many respects. 'Ve ask for thm that hearty support which we havo always received from the pc-opls cf this ciy and county, fully be lieving tlJL they will merit it. It is hard for us to say the last fare well to tho many "Virm fiends of the Hesalp, and yot, it inu.t be done. But of one thing they can all rest a3 Kisred ; wc shall never forget the friend ships wo have formed here, ncr the Baany kind words which fiave cheered us oa in our labor ; neither do we wish any one to think fur a moment that W8 leave Plattsmouth because we have lest faith i.i its future, or that wa retract a single sentence uttered in its favor through ihce coIitums.

He first opened hit self-czpand-ingjwsfor 002 leni', loud yell, on the 2utu of January, 1S22. That voiee of ton awoke tho echoes that repose amidst the picturesque hills of Hampshire coun ty, the first fourteen year of it3 pro; longed existence, sounding ia the ear3 of those eedate, Calvanislic believers in the Salem witches, liko the musical notes of a cracked fiddle in a thunder storm. Since our earliest recollection Ahaz has been our constant companion, through all our labyrinthian wanderings, whether crossing the glaciers of the uorth, the bounding billows of old ocean, or fol lowing the Scminoles through the ever glades cf Florida, night and day; there, liko a faithful sentinel, stood Ahaz, ever ready to protect ani shield us from harm, or lead us into mischief. While writing, we can almost see the deep set, snuff colored eyes, which fnap and sparkle like rcud balls in a frosty morn ing that c'ssiia, "American Jv.gle" nose and and turn up chin that wide, extended mouth, which Ealure ccald have made no larger without setting hi- ears back thjse beautiful enameled tseh, v.Lic-h look like a parcel of black and blue beans in a rat hole- that intel lectual brow, which slopes to the rear on an angle of -15 degrees tho.se tapering fingers, which always froza to every val uable object they came in contact with. Ahaz is very patriots. During tue "Great Re'ucllion" he urged ail his neighbors and his wife's relation into the army in search of glory and liberty. Ahaz is an illustrious decen J.int of a noble, defunct house ; he can follow his lineage from the cra'lle to the grave, and we expect his name will go down to pos terity surrounded with a halo-cf glory, like the setting sun in a rainy uay.

Tho ucta of Earl " Granville sent to Secretary Fish through General Schenck, eral convert was read ia tne cabinet to-cny. frrn- ue-d several hours, in which the merits of the question were presented concern ing ta interpretation of the treaty cf Washirgton were dscussed. There may be a further conference on the subject when the reply of the. secretary of stale to the friendly note shall have been pre pared. Whila this government does not seem dispo-ed to modify the statement of the case, it will doubtless respond to the British objections in such a spirit as wi l show its earnest desire for a settle ment of the question at issue in a man ner altogether honorable to both nations, through the tiibunal of arbitrators pro vided by the treaty. This is known to be the desire of the president and mem-" bers cf the cabinet. Application was made to-day for a copy of the British note for publication, but without success, the refusal being bisod on tha ground that to furnish it would not only be acain.n precedent but disrespectful to the British irovernment at this stage of the nroeeedimr, and it was further said to-mgnt by a f.ign executive ocer tna, not even the substance oi th Brui.a note cou.d now be communicated tUIUULI ULU';idl ffUUILv,, IJlJt II J-l 11.

Barney, American collector he e, refuses to give clearance papers until he receives instructions from Wah jngton. If the vessel eventually clears, a difficulty is certain.
