Shavfner has sue ceiiaiitl in interesting the British Govenuuont in his projeot of establishing a telegraphic eommunlcation from Scotland and Norway respectively to the Faroo Isles, Iceland, Greenland, and Labrador, the longest section, oi cable required being six hundred miles. Lord Palmeßsiok annouueod in the House oi Gommons, the other day, that he had directed a British ship to proceed and take such deep soa soundings in the Northern waters as Col. Shaffneb might require. Accordingly, Sir Lionel McChntock, the most recent Arctic Voyager, has boon appointed to the com mand of the iulldog for that purposo. At the samo time, the old Atlantic Tele graph Company are ondoavoring to raise their, now useless Cablo, in the hope of being Able to repair, or at least sell it. They still Blink that it is possible to carry the electric current through eighteen hundred mlleß of. cable. The thing certainly lias been done, as every one' knows, during the fourteen days .Which intervened between the successful laying of the Cable and thp establishment of ■its. complete inutility. Col. Sn Airs lit, we femember, published an elaborate article in the Southern, Literary Messenger, when the At lantic Telegraph was In its fullest operation, denying the possibility of any message, evon the brieleßt, being conveyablo through it. At that very time, however, several messages bad bpe'n transmitted. For.example, the English sdht the American llifcclbrs, a congratulatory tncßsago of thirty-one Words, (including the jaddrosses -of senders and receivers,) which Was transmitted In thirty-flvo minutes—the {calculation was that twenty words a minute {could bo sent. The message of Queen Vic ■tob’ia to President BOcdasas contained inihety-nifad Words, and Was duly received. Hr. !SaWabl>, Secretary of the Atlantic Telegraph Company, announced that this message must ihavo beon received in Newfoundland in sixty- Iseven minutes,-tint the foot is that twenty ;hours elapsed before it arrived! ! ; Wo have no hopo that tho prosont Cablo will •eYor bo of any uso. It was Inaugurated with Ja Capital blunder which may ho tho cause of its failure. Tho Company, ansious to loso as ;littt« time as possible, divided the making of : the Cable between two manufacturing Arms, ! Which cleverly contrived to make the strands of copper wire run in different directions. When these were united, tho continuity of tho i wires Was destroyed, and we altrlbtito the fail iUhi mainly to that. There is a proposal for a third Atlantic Telegraph, Yifl the Capo do Verde Islands, Saint' Paul’s, Reck, and Capo St. Roque, in South America. A fourth has boon mentioned —namely, from Franco to tho Aaore Islands, and thence to the-United States. . For the first of' these the longest' stretch of cabla would'bo 1,000 . miles. '■ For • the second as mnch us 1,400, Captain Sukbabd Osuoeh, a popular author and able geographer, as well as sailor, has addressed a long lettor to the Tijnes, in which ho strongly advocates Col. Shaffmbh’s North-about telegraph. He gives it the preferencei “for although a little longer in the whole course than a direct lino Would Be, it had tho groat merit of being di vided into four short stages, the longest of which was only 060 miles j whereas on the direct route there is' 6no long stretch of 2,000 miles'of. cable between Valeutia Harbor and Trinity Bay. -I therefore r.joice to see that tile energy of Col. SiurrHun is directed to the'establishment of this North-about Trans-, 'atlantio : communlciation,.heiieving, as I do,; without being learned in oceanic telegraphy, 1 that, evOn if tho direct line were open and in a Working comlitioji to : day, it could never do all tho work whlekthe public of'the Ameri cans on the one side, qnd that of Europe upon ,tlio other, would call for.” Captain Osbobs does not seo any reason, in a nautical and physical point of view, why a cable should not connect the Canadas or La brador with England. He says: “lam fully aware that ico streams down tho coast of Greenland and Iceland; but Ido nttsoo in what way that will affect a email oabte lying upon the bottom of tho spa. 100 fields do not pre vent tho Baltic being orosaod With elootrio cables; ioo does not out off communloatlon aoroas American lakes, or Russian rivors ; nor did it prevent a oable being carried. round tho hoad of tho Bl&ok Sea, where in the winter there is no laok of 100. Indeed, why should it? Floe, or field ice, is the frozen sur faoe of the [sea; so long as it is attaohed to tho shore, it is far loss dangerous than surf or breakers would bo. When it mores about it is afloat, and whon afloat thoro Is always water enough beneath it io allow a oable of half an inoh or more dia meter to lie undisturbed on the bottom of tho sea. “ Tbo dellcatn shells, woods, orustacoa, and other animate and inanimate productions whioh oovor the bottom of the Arotlo Sea In latitudes far north of whoro it is propoeod this shall bo placed, afford the best proof that the botto m of tho Northern Sea Is a far safer and pleasanter place of sojourn than that surface over which we Arotlo seamen have lately so often sailed and labored. People, therefore, when reading our adventures and halr-broadth esjapos in wooden vessels upon that Arotio Sea, should take care not to confound the top with tho bottom of these ioe-enoumbered regions.” Tho libnvy ico-drift along tho coast of Labra dor indicates a generally water coast. The main difficulty of the Sjxatfdkk route seems to lio between tho point at which about 150 fathoms water will be found on that La brador. shore, and so in to tho coast. But it anywhere upon tho bottom of that submerged shore of Labrador a lino of deep sen-soandiirga can bo found, with a shallower bank to the north of it, so as*to form a sort of trough run ning in an east and west direction, there can ho little doubt, as Colonel Shaffner says, that the cable will lio thero as safe as it wfbuld do across tho Straits of Dover. Captain Cto noiiK then declares “a floating iceberg can never hurt a submerged cable, and oven one grating or pressing along the bottom may, nine cases out of ten, fail to pick up a pieco of rope embedded in the mod or sand; indeed, tbo probabilities are the cable would be only thrust still deeper into the bottom. Iccborgs bavo not got claws or creepers, and I believe the cables across the narrow seas between England and Europe ruu fifty times more risk from 'tho thousands of anchors, creepers, and trawling nets over passing over them than any cable could do under tho At- lantic between Hamilton inlet and Green land. Arctic storms are terrible $ tho clash and destruction of icebergs may be awful in a winter’s (lay off the shores of Labrador; but I do not seo that they will harm a cable lying at tho bottom of tho sea any more thau an aurora borealis or any other Arctic bogio would do.” "What Colonel Siiaffnkr wants England to do is to' tell him accurately tho depths of tlio ocean upon a route over which hundreds of English vessels annually sail, in order that ho may place a/Cable there which shall connect Europo and America. Thu is what Sir Ll - HEii MoCmntock has boon commissioned to. do. ' Colonel SitAi-FNEit originated tho idea of a sub-Atlantic Telegraph many years ago. As far back as 1854, ho visited Europe with bis present plan of a tclograph from Labrador to Grcehland, to Iceland, to tho Faroe Islands* and, with branches, to Norway and Scotland. He obtainod a concession from the King of Denmark for tho oxclusivo right te run a tele graph over the above route for ono hundred years. Ho also obtainod from Norway and Sweden. From the earliest esta blishment of Morse’s telegraph in this coun ty Colonel Shaffnkr has been praotically familiar with all tho operations involved in it, and was tfio person who, in 1847, commenced the construction of tbo first lino south of tho Ohio river. Ho has* in fact, been an earnest and ablo tolograpMst since 1844, and tho largo earnings of his life aro invested in telegraph stock. Ho has succeeded in deeply interest ing tho mercantile interest of Great Britain in his proposed northern line from Europo, and’ America, and their powerful infiuonco, no doubt, has been brought to bear upon Lord Palmerston.

Miss I), thereupon sued for libel. The defendant pleaded in justification that was tbe author of tne play, and that the card Published by him was a privileged publication. he plaintiff objected to the answer as being too general, and made a motion to compel Bouoicault ,to answer more specifically. The court yesterday granted the motion, holding that the defendant mast state what facts he relies upon to establish his title to the drama, and insert what facts be claims under the privilege of publication, with $lO costs to abide the event. Your young friend Thomss, of Japan, continues to be made the objeot of many attentions, to which the .youngster has no shadow of claim, excepting that he Is good-natured, bright, and fond of fan.

Superior, Barb Superior, June 16, 1860. Tbo export of lumber from the sawmills arouad Superior goes' bravely on. Tho sohboner Fretta has made three trips to Ontonagon. The schooners Chippewa, Ford, and Sargeant, one each to Portage Lake. The steamer North Star In two trips carried away 400,000 shingles, 340 bhls. fish, 23 head of oattle, bales of for, eto. Tho propoller Ogontz now runs regularly betweon Superior and Portage Lake. On her first trip she took down 130,000 feet of lumber and 130,000 shingles for the mining towns. The Captain intends, I believe, to lay up this winter in'our harbor; if he does, it will be a' great accommodation to the fanners of St. Paul aud the Upper Mississippi, and prevent in a measure; the Importation of oattle, grain, ground feed, eto., ■ from Illinois and Ohio. The Ogoutz charges only five dollars from Superior Ito Portage Lake, over 300 The fare from Portage Leae to Dotroit' and Cleveland (so great is the competition now) Is,' I hear, from five to seven dollars; steerage pas sengers are taken iaoob less. I oaanet, give the' prioe of ileketf from Cleveland and Detroit around Lake Superior daring the grand pleasure exour-' sions. I presume tho boats will take families for. Jrom twenty to tweuty-flve dollars a head, and, probably loss. The trip will occupy ten days, dis tance ovor 2,000 miles, tickets good for a month or two. It affords me great pleasure to state that present appearances indloate an abundant harvest in re compense for the efforts of the few farmers of this plaoe. I trust (hat they may be able to supply a number ef the mining towns this fall with a va riety of articles. During the month of May, 1860, the Bteamboats brought up to thesa towns 7,920 bushols of vegetables, 141 tons of hay, 4,419 bar* rels of flour, 40,678 pounds of butter, 423 beads of oattle, &0., besides merchandise worth $1,195,625, (2,931 tons 500 pounds.) The canal finished its principal repairs, and was opened May 11th. Amount of tolls recelfed, $2,712 38 ; number of passongers, 2,137 up to June Ist. Upon compari son of tho items, I find that merchandise, provi sions, Ap , do., to tho amount of $1,472,000, were imported for the mines and towns of fhts lake, as per tho official report for the month of May. White the exports of Iron ore, pig iron, blooms and bars, faidos, fish, peltry, furs, anil 1,210. tons 689 pounds of copper amounted to about $735,918, showing a balance against tho lake for May of $736,135. If we could only havo a railroad from the upper Mis sissippi or St. Paul to Superior, the quostlon would soon bo derided whether Minnesota prodoco shall supply Supericr or (hat of Illinois, Ohio, and Mlohigan. Deport says that tho new directors of the Saint Croix .and Lake Saporior Kallroad Company will certainly visit Hudson this summer, and decide upon their futuro coarse. It is evident that thoy will not relinquish the million of aores granted by Government. “North Shore.” The Citv op Nauvoo— The Prophet Smith’s Family. —A Chicago delegate returning to bis homo, visited the rains of Naavoo city, and gives tho following description of it: A vast extont of ground is covorcd by tho ruins of this city. Streets beautifully laid out, wide and spacious, macadamized and in good order, afford evidenoo of good tosto and systematic design. Numbers of large briok houses, with doors gone, windows brokon, and partially unroofed and use less, in every senso of tne term. A large un finished briok hotel, with marble cappings, is in the centre of the city, a very picture of desolation and destruction. The site of the town is unsur passed by any on the river. It is most admirably adapted for tbo wants of a large city; access to It is etisy, by land and water ; tho oiimate is genial, and the general condition of the place healthy. Binoe tho departure of the Fronoh, the Germans have flocked there in crowds, and now occupy the greater portion of tho eity. Young Joe Smith, the son of the prophet, is twenty-sis years of age, and occupies the house in which bis father first lived. He believes, os did bis .father, in all the Mormon doctrines, except the one whioh countenances the plurality of wives He is a justice of tho peace, and ltve3 on his property. His house resembles an old-fashioned, gable-ended New England farm house, surrounded by a noat Slot of ground, thickly studded with trees. In tho rawing room hangs a portrait of the old prophet himself, whioh looks just as he did, oow lick and all, twonty ago. Mr. Smith, is highly;re spected by his fellow-townsmen, on whom be dees not attempt to obtrude his opinions. Bo does not hold a groat deal of landed proporty here, though he has available means elsowhero. The rcliot of Prophet Smith some time sinoo msrriod a Mr. Bialheimer, who. with her, occupies the house from which tbo first husband was driven. Ho is considerable of a man. and “ knows bow to keep a hotel,” that beisg tho present occupation of himself and all that remains to tell the mourn* fal talc of old Smith, the defunct. Tho hotel in which they entertain the travelling weary was for merly the headquarters of tho faithful. The alarm boll still hangs, though ropeless, in the belfry, and the evidences of the Prophet’s love of style are many and varied. A flno grapery is in full growth at tho side of the bouse, and the only deoent or chard I have soon sinoo leaving Chicago Is in the rear. Tho lady is about sixty years of age. Bbo has a fine figure, portly and fair, and is evidently a kind-hearted and benevolent lady, who is tino turod a little with the spirit of the traditional Yankee, and who agrees with the Scriptures that it is cot good for m an to live alone. A Jaw Bomb Three Fret Long.— Tho Indiana State Sentinel of tho 18th, says of an immense jaw bone recently found in tho bod of Shawhoe creek : “ Tho bone, as wo before remarked, was found in tho bed of tho Shawnoo creek. One of the tooth was observed sticking above tho surfaoe of the gravel by a boy, who dug it out And took it to Dr. Marsh, of Attica, who purchased it of him. The dootbr forwardod it to his brother-in-law, Attor ney Genoral McDonald, $n whose offioe it now is. It is evidently a section of the jaw (inferior maxil lary ) It Boems to havd been broken off near the symphisis mentor, or obin Near the broken end is a fissure in tho bone, apparently tho sookot of ft tusk. Tbo longth of tho bone is 36 inohes, 81 inohes wide, by about the same depth at the point where the teeth aro sot, decreasing in volume both ways. Thero Ate two teeth, loose in the sockets, the first ;0 inches long by 4i wide, the other fit inches long by 4} wido. The enamel upon the teeth is perfect, and their aoutenoss convoys the impresrion that tho subjeot was quite young. The bona unquestionably belongs to the mastodon family—a calf at that, and were it living to-day would surely tako the premium at our State Fair.” TWO CENTS, Letter from Boston, ißorrespondenoeof The Frem.) , s ~ , , . .

Townsend, and other oitlea and .towns in. this Commonwealth, havo but reaffirmed and’endorsed tbe sentiments' expressed at the great .Douglas -detpoustratiou at FanonUHall. The meeting held .in Lowell was iuuoed a most flattering trinmph of ’prlneiple. ■c - resolutions paesed by the meeting were-of the right port—firm,but without any spirit of Mus ic v.yk®, re is one thing I regret more then any atber, it is that of the defection of dsn. Butler. He h»s many fine traits of character He has been heretofore frank, manly, and generous. He has always been ready to extend the hand of welcome to all olssses. To him, we looked for fidelity to the last. .In him we placed the utmorfc confidence, and considered aim f < tree as steel.” But he fell into the snare set for bis destruction, by tbe Tory men with whom he how affiliates. A* themeeting held several weeks ago at Lowell, Mr. Butler, after giving an account of hia steward lP*. delivered a very ingenious argument, in which he Attempted to prove that it waabladuty (1) to change hisvote from Bougies to Jeff*-Davis. • After its delivery be choked off discussion, by moving the previous question upon the resolutions endorsing his action at Charleston, slid they were put and declared adopted by tbe chairman of the meeting. No chance was given to answer Mr. But ler’S fallacious reasoning; . At tbe meeting held last week, however, after, theflon J. M. Kcvanneugh bed spoken in favor of the' resolutions Submitted/ Mr. Butler was al lowed the privilege of replying. ’ 'But« facts are,stubborn things,’/ and those told by Mr. Kayannaugh were too conclusive,' too evident, to all unprejudiced men to be'met by such false’ views of expediency advanced by Mr Butler.. The resolutions, as I said -, before, were adopted by al most a unanimous vote. ’ Mr. Fessenden’s (bis colleague’s) course was endorsed, and Mr. B. re. quested to use alt honorable means to-secure the nomination of the “ Little Giant.” It would be a welcome task to' me to be able to chronicle his return to Douglas at Baltimore. . The Northern doughfaces, who are fed by Go vernment pap, endeavor to gull the people by ex< olaiming— {i What can we do in Massachusetts?” “ Massachusetts oaonot east her electoral vote for the Democratic nominee !” and other like phrases. They argue that we should allowafewrfwwntoimr to use the party a* a foot-ball, and dictate what .they must have, because, at tbe last Presidential election, tbo South cast more electoral votes than .the North for James Buchanan. The absurdity of this reasoning is too'apparent to eudeaTorto refute; but, still, I am sorry to say that a few are misled by this sophistry. Ob! for tbe time when these political mounte banks shall moot with their deserts, and be spurned with contempt by the honest voters., The , day »i approaching —tknr sands of life “ are near* ly run oat.” 1 Were it not for them Masswhosfett* would- not occupy tbe political position she now does* These, men have racked the blood out of the Democratic it small, and seem determined to make it smaller; for, if they are tolerated muehJoßger, tbe party will consist merely of the, postmasters, collectors of customs, navy, agents, and their re ; tainers. They will probably bold their Conventions alternately; at Caleb Cushing’s law office* where Caleb will, probably lay down the creed, in, the shape of the latest India-rubber decision, end at Dr. Boring's medical laboratory, where, I sup pose, tho learned' M. D. will endeavor to purge their - stomaoha .of the. filth collected during a twelve-months’ service in tho political sewers. It is gene rally admitted that Hon. John 'A. An drew will be the; candidate of . the Republican party- for Governor next fall. With such a radical (but honest) John Brown sympathizer in nomina tion; w ith the dissensions in the Republican party, in regard; to the Chicago platform, and with the Bell and Everett men. in the field, it was confi denlly.hoped by thr sincere well-wishers of the Be rn % ratio party that Dooglas.-might-get the somt-. nation at Charleston. . With him bearing aloft our banner, victory here, in Massachusetts, was almost within our reach! - In anticipation of .cosh * result, we have had continual accessions to opr. ranks. * Many old Whigs, and tbe conservative who.believe with the Hon.

The FKtb, for instance, now represented by Hon. Anson nurlingame, would be oerteirr to return a Demooret zfoxt fall. Bat, unless we have Douglas, whoever is nominated the Republicans wifi be elooted- .. ' . Mr. Burlingame would 1( walk right over the course;” for, if Douglas is defeated at Baltimoreby base tresobery, the enthusiastio. young Democracy will flock to the banner of Burlingame, and re eleot him. They will remember his defence of the friends of Douglas in the last Congressional elec tion, when the Administration were leagued with the Republican leaders, endeavoring to erurh the “ Little Giant” and his friends. Thatdefenoe se cured his election, for many of the friends ot the Illinois statesman would not lend a hand to defeat one who so nobly oast away bis political prejudices and spoke the truth in regard to the .honesty of those who, in the hour of trial, stood by their lead er. Of oourse, most of them voted for the regular nominee, tbe Hon. John T. Hurd, who was con sidered a Douglas man; but, Ahe did not come right straight out , take off his ooat, and go to work, the result was, after a hard fight, Mr. Bur lingame got elected. How is it now? These men that we sent to aid in nominating the only man that can lead us to viotory—the only man that can keep together the party, and draw strength from the opposing par ties—have, some of them, proved recreant to the trust reposed in them. These traitors have kin dled fires that will never consume. Difficulties havo arisen between those who before were warm friends. They have distracted tbe party, helped the enemy, and disobeyed the will of their consti tuents. There will bo a fearful reckoning for these tricksters! When the names of Buohanan, Cushing, Loring, and Riley shall have sunk to oblivion—when (bey will be remembered only with the same feelings that we now remember Benedict Arnold—the name of Douglas will gild the pages of history, be revered by every patriot, and mentioned side by lido with Jefferson, Jackson, Clay, and Web ster! I have read an abstract ef Dr. Loring’e speech at Baltimore It is what might be expected 01 ono who was formerly a ranting Abolitionist, then a pretended Douglas man, now a traitor and a feeble imitator of Caleb Cushing. I should think Yancey would spurn such friends, for Mr. Yancey, though misguided, is not a miserable doughface. Ho avows himself a dUunionist, and is therefore honest. _ Nestor.
