Tbe mnnapcrs ask for 1,000,000 capital, in snares of 20 then, Bud piopo?e to lay a cable, from the lreat Ea-tt rn steamship, with one extremity at Brest, France, and the other at ibe French island of 8t. 1'ieire, near Newfoundland, with a coun cting line to some point ou the Atlantic coast ot the United states probably Plymouth, Mast. Mr. Robert Lowe. M. P., is the chairman of the London Hoard of Directors, and Sir James Anderson is the general superintended. The French concession has been granted to Mr. d'Eilnifrer, tlio Pans banker, well known from his connection with the liebel loau, aud Mr, Julius Keuter, who supplies the London press with their news telepiams. Thomson, Varley, Clark, Forde, and Fleming Jenkins undertake the practical electrician department. There is no doubt that the cable will be luid; but whether tbe company will succeed or not is a juat'cr o opinion. In order to prevent the new company from obtaining any Ennhih messages the present company has made a coutract with the British Govtrnment by which the Government agrees to give it all tbe transatlantic me?saaes that come ever the lines in Eneland, Ireland, Scot land and Wali s so foou as the pending measures lo transfer these lines to the Government are completed. At rht sight this is an imnjrUut conci's? on; but the French company will have an office in Londou, at which all the mes sages can be received, and almost all the cable messages now come from London and Liverpool. On the whole, the probability is that tbe contract with the English Government Will amount to very little, and that the public tn both sides ot the Atlantic will benetit by the competition. It has just been announced here that the cable of 1866 has stopped working, and the lace that the present company is now dependent upon the old cable alone will give the stock of the new company an impetus Wfcat is really needed is au Americau cable company to beat both the Knelish aud French In lowness of taritt" aud rapidity of communica tion. A direct cable from New York to Liver pool or Falmouth would defy competition, and ought to belaid, cither by private enterprise or tba American Government. EglUb OplBitm of Ytaaddaus Stavems, The London Times of August U contains the following: "America has lost one of her fore most men. In his seventy-sixth year Mr. Thaddeus Stevens has been takeu away from tbe scene of his labors. The announcement c n take no one by surprise. Those who have seen Mr. Stevens of late years have como away with the impression that they have seen a body kept ulive onlv by the intenpe volition of a resolute will. The ruling principle of Mr. SteveuB' lite may have shortened his days, yet it seemed at the lust to have brought some -omi;ensation with itself; for the man who ppent ail his vital power in entorcinar the objects he had at heart was apparently able by the same energy of determination to keep death at bay alter he had grasped his victim. it is perhaps tiue that the dcRtb of Mr. Stevens at this juncture will not ba regarded in the United States 8S a public los. It U certain that in the prosecution of the impeachment he inflicted a grievous wound on his own party. The Hnnciftl dishoueetv of which he had be come the champion, inleht have spread under his influence, but will languish wneti deprived of his countenance aud constant support. But while denouncing in the plainest terms, we must do the memory of Mr. Stevens the justice of diitinauisb'mc between the motives which impelled him and General Butler to adopt the same conclusions. We have already explained that Mr. btevens' advocacy of the repay ment of the live-twenty bonds in currency was au instance of his fanatical devotion to a mis conceived dogma. The adoption of the same policy by liPin-ral Butler, like all the other public acts of ibe ex-tiovemor ot New Orleaus, bctrajs tbe chicanery of bis trst profession. Mr. btevens was lanatual. self-willed, and most Diner in bis animosities; but there was neither me tm es nor deceit in his nature. And it must b- leinenibered ol him that he was almost the last of a class of Americans who have left no follower". While everything conspires to efface the Individuality of each member ot the younger generation, and they reMgn tbenveWes without resi-tance to the limits prescribed by party dis cipline, Mr. Stevens preserved his own opinions ami enforced his own will, yielding neither to 'caucus nor to convention' when they vio lated the law of his own conscience." The Loudon News ot tbe same date remarks: "Mr. Bievens was more a revolut.ouary leader tbtin a statt sman. He had that firm grasp of great principles, aud that enthusiastic confl uence in their application, which leaders of great national movements always poseess; but be had none of that power to understand and apprecia'e a policy other than his own, wbichis so ntcescaryto a statesman. He could never see that there might be two opinious ou great national questions ihoie who were with him were lor their couutry; those who were against him were against their country. He could never nee that legilatton must sometimes take a oour'C which results from the action of anta gonistic forces, aod which feels the effect ot each while obeying neither. Compromise was his detestation. Tue doctrine that 'half a loaf is tetter than no bread,' was to him the deadli est heresy of political creed." The London Telegraph says: "Charles Sum ner was a man ol far higher culture, but he la ked the tire of his less well kuo vn colleague, and h's influence was weakened by constant exh bttion3 of a feminine irritability aud vanity, iiutler commanded no personal respect, and was rep anted even by his triends as a and jobber. Wade was deemed, riehtly or wrongly, to be personally gretdy of power. But at cyni cal Stevens none ot lhee charges eoul 1 be level ed. There was something grand in the very leroclty of his auger." Disraeli's Politic! Poaltloa. We quote the following Irotu the London Fost ol Aug ist 13th: The cou'ess d mistake which Mr. Disraeli made in a'taili'iisr himself to the conservative party is niukiiic ii6elt' more and more nianmst everyday. 'Ju the other hand, it mut be contested that few men would have conce ved his peculiar mode ot correcting that initdake, much lo-s have been lewarded with Tortinl kiipfeis. Instead of cro'sing the House ot Commons and taking his feat by the side of Mr. Br glit, Mr. Di-rucli formed the bold idea of etlUCUt Ilg LIS lOHOAUIb IU SUCU a punib m il mi. Kricrht miniit wiih the inot D'Tleut con-ibtency have tak- n Lis teat anions them; and were it Dot fur this most unlucky question of the Iwh Church, the twees ot tun experi ment would have been unequivocal. Un turn Mihiett it was possible for Mr. DiTaeli. not on y without inconsistency, but with the rno-t p Ifect a ipnrent gooa luim, to nave ucnoiiuccu ftie i b' ablifcbiDcnt an I proposed Us abolition. Had he not jears before upoken of the "ali- n Church" as one of the most prominent of Irish f rli'vsnces? If he had been on the liberal side of the House It is not difficult to imagine how ne would have capped that famous tpeech, and f rociuimea tnat ttieiime naa come lor aoing lib tiro, to our Irish fellow subjects. That he may have contemplated converting his present associates to his views is not improbable; but if so, be discovered that on this point they refused to be educated, and he had no choice but to write that celebrated letter in which he told tbe people of Great Britain and Ireland that they owe all tbe civil and religious liberty they enjoy to the Church establishment. The notion was a peculiarly funny one as far as regards Ireland, because a people may doubt whetber they enjoy much of either kiud of liberty when the habeas corpus act has been suspended for three yean, and when during threccenturies a State Church has been supported for the special buhool of a very small ininoiUy of the nation. Tbe position In which things at present stand is thiu. Reform has been disposed of substantially by the efforts of the liberal party, and the Irish Church ques tion remains open, the conservatives being pre pared to strain eveiy nerve to prevent its settle ment. It is lor ihe liberal electors to say under tbcFC circumstances to whom they will give their supnoit. Ihe question can only admit of one reply." RchooNMtitirl' Salarlat. The Pall Ma'l Gazette quotes the following from a recent report on the Church echools in Lancashire: "The incomes wh'ch are made in some of these Fchools are very large. Tnc average of the salaries returned by the masters in one town Is over 139 a year, exclusive of house, prottts of evening school, or other advantages; and in one Instance a total income from all sources is made of 300. It is well that a profe-sion should have these prizes; and most certainly they are only gained by the hatdest and most trying work, but in the face of this it is impos sible, at least in this district, to agree with the cry that salaries are dimm-is-hed and a teacher's prospects blighted under the new code. And this leads me to remark upon a point which should, if pos-lble, bo guarded against. A return is aked for each year of the whole pecuniary emolument of a teacher received out of the school income. Men rarely make themselves out richer than they are, and from the opportunities which there are of pilvate information it is certain that in many instances the return is made too low, aud that teachers consequently are often thought to be a worse paid body of men than they really are. As it Is, their own returns show them to be in the receipt of the following average payments: Musters, 98 14s.: mistresses (girls), G2 13s.; mist rest-es (infants), 68. And wheu to this is added the many unacknowledged items which exist, the whole amount will uot appear so low, even though among the high paid classes of the manufacturing districts." Military Pracautloas 1 Ireland. Ihe Fenian rising In March, 1867, appears to have taught the British Government a valuable lesson iu military strategy. Taking a hint from tbe plans of the insurgents the Government decided on building a large military barracks, capable of containing ten thousand men, at the Limerick Junction, the great railroad junction of South Ireland, where passengers change for Cork, Dublin, Limerick, and Waterford direc tions. This place is within a few minutes' ride of the town ot Tipperary, within view of the Galtces Hills, upon whose tops the Fenians in 1HC7 took shelter from the intense cold. The selection f t this place Is most judicious, as trains can be had at all hours and troops des patched with the greatest rapidity to quell an outbreak. The Nation and other Dublin journals assert tbat secret and deadly arrangements are on foot for avenging upon Ireland tbe defeat of the Government in tbe naming of the polling places clauses in tbe Keaisirauon O'l'. Lioia Btratb nairn, the Com munder-ln-Chief of the Irish army, has been invented wrh full power to dis tribute the army under his control through the different counties in Ireland, and tbe preserva tion of the peace will be taken out of the hands of the civil authorities at the elections for the time being; army officers are to be sworn in "justices of the peacei" with power to disperse any assemblage oi' more than twenty persons, anil maps of the highways and by-ways iu the diff erent counties are being made in order that the military may have full knowledge of the loads to be traversed by voter". , The Nation warns the Government against these military measures, and secret planning of the landlords to coerce voters to vote for their nominees. It savs: Let the results be what they may, this will be a deadly campaign for the party who invoke sucn innueiices. u military violence be attempted, or undue military occu pation or interference on pretence of "escort" be carried out, and once again too truth ne made more clear that iu Ireland the landowners claim to own the body and soul, and conscience of their hapless tenants, and entorce that claim through bloodshed, desolation aud death, assuredly this will be the last election in Ireland iu which voters will be leit exposed to such deadly peril9. A cry will rewound throughout Great Britain that at lea-t lor Ireland tbo ballot is a Lccessity. THE CONTINENT. 1 ba FroatUr Bttwtin Fraaca ad Spala "M. Prevost Paradol relates in the Paris Debats bow, alter ritteen jcars of contestation, tbe frontier between France aod Spain has at lenerth been fixed. It miaht have been supposed tbat the natural limits having been clearly de nned by tbe Pyrenees, tne task ot drawing a frontier line between the two countries would have presented no difficulty; but it seems that every yard or mountain was contested, aud the Spaniards, in some instances, pro duced oocuments datinjr from 812, or the titueot Charlemaene.

The New York hra d's correspondent at Fruiikfort, Aug. 10, writes as follows: ' The sudden iikc iu the gold premium at New York baa throw u our Bourse into u great excitement.

If this is once over they will make a weignty concurrence to Americana, and throw these out of the market if the payment ot the bonds does not ceoae to be a debatable object." VatuYlua Aaiotbar Krnptloa Coatlmaad JTlow of Lava "During the whole of July," says a Naples correspondent, "Mount Vesuvius has been in a state ol greater or less eruption, aud has ex hibited a roost maguitlcent spectacle. For lour months, within a few days, it has been continu ously pouring loith lava, In spue ot the predic tlons of the learned tbat the end was drafting near; so that our professors are now under the i.ecessity of distinguishing three phases of the eruption the first extending Irom the night of the 12th cr 13th of November to the 16th ot January; the second from the 15ih of January to the 11th of February, during which interval it exhibited great varieties with less activity; the third Irom the llih of February to the present time, a psrlod of diminution, According to Pulmicrl, though ttppearauces and the daily reports are such as to refute the hypothesis. About, the beginning of this latter period little lava rlowtd, and the im- Eression was tbat the eruption was nearly over; tit on the I2th greater activity, whicu con tinued till the 15th ot February, was ooserved; the detonations were loud, generally in the morning and evening; some stones were tnrown out, aud then comparative silence ensued. During these two or three days several sh icks of earthquake were registeied, and the appara tus of variation was disturbed. A tew sublimates were collected on tbe summit, but not sufficient to mark the end of tbe truptlou. On tbe 17 ih yet greater activity was perceptible, and us periodicity was continued; twice a day Vesuvius put forth nil its energies, interesting equally the scientific and curious. "The guides of Vesuvius who reside in Reslna say tbat in their town great shocks were felt, sufficient to make their doors and windows tremble. Columns ot stone, they add, were shot into the air at the height of three hundred metres, something little short ot nine hundred feet. The lava, too, progressed considerably, forming at the toot of the cone five different streams, which poured over like cascades. On the 18ih tbe great rone began a.'aiu to roar with considerable violence, and two shocks of earthquake were felt distinctly in Rcsiua, tue very summit of the cone fell In, forming by the obstruction of the material three era terp, which threw outlarge quantities of t tones-, and offered, as it were, a ma2nidcnt display of fireworks. The entire cone trembled too, as if shaken by an earthquake, for four or rive seconds, while later in tae day the lava forced an opening in the direction of the Piano delle Ginestere, and flowed cnwaids In a stream ot full ten metres in width. From this time to the end of the month tbe mountain has continued to thunder, and to throw out masses of red hot lava, which, dividing into many streams, pre sent at a distance a spectacle of great beauty. Frequent thoueh slight shocks have been felt at Kesina, and, indeed, other places in the immediate neighborhood but they create no alarm as the people are so accustomed to their return. On the night, however, of the 27th there was one unusually stronsr. It seems now to be confirmed that the volcano acts under lunar influence. In truth, the period of its greatest eruptions get every day about half an hour later, coinciding with the evolutions of tbe planet. "1 have only to note the nature or the mate rials which have been thrown out during this the third plia-e. The ashes and the sublimates have been in small quantities, which, according to Palmieri's own assertion on several occaslous, indicate that the eruption is not near its termi nation. The sublimates which have apoeared, however, on the smoke holes have been chlorure of copper and of lead, while the absence of chlorure of iron ha9 been noted as remarkable, although on the top ot tne cone it nas beeu found united with 'oliaisto' iron. The concourse ot visitors is greater than ever. Miscellaneous Foreign Items. A curious disease is in'ecting the town or Bonnieur, France, which the medical practi tioners call inflammatory mucous lever, and ultbough the contagion does not spread to other localities, it is feared the population will be greatly thinned.

Rosecrans' Mission to the Southern Leaders It is Undertaken hj Request of the Fresident. A Grand Seymour Election eering Document to bo the Result. More Outrages on the Union Men of Tennessee. Etat ta.t Bt4 Bta , (. FROM WASHINGTON. Speetal Despatch to The Evening TeUgrapK Hoaacraa' Uliiloa am Official Omt. Wasainoton, Aug. 26. The facts about Gene ral Rosecrans' visit to the White Sulphur Springs, Vs., and tbe object of his meeting here with leading Rebel soldiers and citizens, are coming to light and beginning to be under stood. It appears that he undertook the mifslon at the suggestion of President Johnson and a few prominent Demo crats here, with the view ot getting tbe chief lenders of the late Confederacy to come out in a sort of manifesto, which should be laid before the people North previous to the elec tions. This will set forth the paclSc character of the Southern people, their disposition to accept the results oi the war, and to abide by the Constitution and laws. It will also denounce as false and without foundation the statements coming from what are tetmed the Union men ot the South, as to the condition of that section, and the lawless ness which is said to prevail there. The docu ment Is to be 6igned by the leading ex-Confederates, civil and military. It is intended as a reply to the numerous charges which have appeared in the public prints as to the condition of affairs at the South. The whole thing is to be gotten up in the Inte rests of the Democratic party, the main object being to delude the Northern people into tbe beliol that no disorder exists in the South, an 1 tba. the people there are as warm adm'rers of the Union and Constitution as anywhere else. Although Gen. Rosecrans talked with nearly all the chief ex-Rebels at tbe White Sulphur Springs, his principal interview was with General Robert E. Lee. In a frank manner, according to the statement of one who is no w at the Springs, General Rosecrans told Lee that there were many honest and well-meaning men in the North and J West who hava been led to believe, by tnc mlsrepreocntatlonv of Southern correspondent! of the radical press, 88 well as by the speeches of the leaders of that party, that the people of the South are just as hostile to the Union now as they were during tbe war, and as much embittered against the Northern people as they were when both were in arms; that they hate the negroes with a deadly hate, because they have been freed, and but for the strong arm of the military would reduce them to a Btate of practical slavery, and perpetrate all manner of outrages upon them. General Lee denied tbat the people of the South are inimical to the Union. They want peace, and long for it. This Is their universal sentiment as fur as he had been able to ascer tain it, and his opportunities have been many from frequent conversations and extensive cor respondence with representative persons in alj ports of the South. As to their animosity to tbe negro, nothing could be farther from the fact; and why should there be ? Said he: "There is no rivalry betsveen the race?, but reciprocal interests, growing out of the ftct tbat each is dependent upon the other to a great extent, one needing employment and the other employes. Apart from this, they had been reared together, and there is a natural aifection aud sympathy between them." General Rosecrans proposed that the general officers of the Confederate army unite and lay before the Northern people in a tangible form, that cannot be disputed, the true state of feel ing as he found it everywhere in his travels South. To this the Rebel General heartily agreed, aud General Rosecrans afterwards talked with distinguished Southern civilians, among them Alexander II. Stephens, on the same subject. General Rosecrans is expected to return here and report the result of his mis sion to the President. FR OM BALTIMORE. Tba Faey Dliapptarlag Tba 8ebtz ahiC.

Refugees from the Ku Klux brutalities continue to come into the city Two weeks ago sixteen of the dlsgu'sed scoun drels residing In Lincoln county, in the neigh borhood of Senator William Wyatt's, went to the house of William Moore, demanded his voting certificate, knocked him down with their pistols, and beat him savagely, catting his head to the skull in several places. They then stripped him and gave him 173 lashes on the bare back. They told him he was a d d radical, and before the negroes of Lincoln should again vote the radical ticket, they and all their white radical Iriends should be killed Tbey also told him if Senator Wyatt, whom they dragged from his bed and beat just before the meeting of the Legislature, should ever return home, they would certainly kill him Tbe men who whipped Moore were his neigh bors, and he recognized several of them. Both branches of the Legislature were In session yesterday. In the 8enate the Financial Committee submitted a lengthy report, which was ordered to be printed. The House Military Committee reported a slrong military bill, which also goes to the printer. The latter is substantially the same as that introduced by Colonel Thornberg, ten days since, giving the Governor unlimited power, calling out troops, directing martial law, and compelling counties where militia may be quar tered to pay for the expenses incurred. The bill is on the third reading in the Bouse. A minority report was also submitted, stating tbat, as the General Government had proffered Federal troops in case any was needed, it would not only be unnecessary but wrong to put a partisan militia in the field. This report met with a rough reception, and after a heated dis cussion, the House, by a vote of 44 to 19 refused even to allow It to bo printed. During the debate, it was openly hinted by some of the radicals that the Federal troops could not be trusted to act in the interest of the party in power. The bill will probably be a law by next Saturday, and the militia will be placed in the field shortly thereafter. Two large bixes of arms and ammunition were sent from this city last evening, to the Fratiklin, the Press, and Times. Tbe radical journals declare this morning, on the authority ot those who thoroughly investi gated the late murder, that political conside rations had nothing to do with the killing of Bier field, and that the killing was prompted solely In revenge for the murder of Elzell. Tbe political campaign is going on briskly on both sides, and although party feeling runs high no sanguinary collisions worth speaking o' as yet. FROM MASSACHUSETTS.

Tbe New York: Timet correspondent, writes as follows from Juomei, Auauul 8: The capture of I'ort-au-Prince appears now to be a quMMtlon of a few days. The besieged are short ol ammuutilon and cannot hold out maoli loDger. For a me time past Halnave appears to buvtt anticipated bis defeat and to have beeu grow ni( dally more lesperale and reokiess. Ue has prohibited tue Bale of cofJee to any one xoept bis agents, or iu other words, ne has been seizin all lie could lay bis bauds upon. He ban oiiuswd tbe Prussian Consul lo be arreted, and ottered a gross Insult to the British Consul, who has demanded satisfaction, and threatened to cause tue bombardment of tbe town by the Brlilan vessels Favorite, Mullet and Pnoque, now In tbe port. He baa also or dered the conflacKilon ot the property of an American, (whose name I did not learn,) who bas protested against ine proceeding. Halnave appears to have been contemplating flight; his it i ther and brothers, also bis Mlulster of War und baggage, were captured on the steamer Bll valn, wuicU fell into the hands ol the revolu tion lHtg. The whole of tbe southern portion of the country Is for tbe revolution. Tne country neoule manifest inuoh confidence in tne .eaders, aud turn over to them their produce, tab lng bonds to be paid when the revolution 14 over. During the last few days many persona from Lieoaane bave been arrested and carried as pri soners to Port ao-l'rlooe, and it la supposed tbat many of them win be snot. E. Laroaobe. long an intimate friend of Halnave. was ar retted when making him a visit. Tbla l evolution is evidently drawing to close, but bow long It will be be Tore another beslns Is another matter probably not many months. It Is enrrently reported here tbat an asanit will be made upon Port an Prince on tbe 11th or 12h. At all events, the capture of the place within a week or two is regarded aa certain.
