He admits that he was in the Rebel service as a spy, passing be tween RiChmond and Washington, and was in the conspiracy to abduct the President, but denies all knowledge of the assassination. Throughout his lec ture he glories over his connection with the Rebellion and soundly abuses lead ing Union men connected with the trial of his mother and the other conspirators. We are glad to notice that the Press with unusual unaminity, denounces in fitting terms the shamelessness of Sur ratt in exposing bis villiany arrd re-open big the story of the tragedy which sent his mother to the gallows: Even the New York World—whose authority we do not often quote-calls him a "wretch," who cowardly skulked in Canada and sacrificed his mother's life, when, by his own showing, if he is to be believed, his testimony could have proven her inno cence: Referring to Surratt's plea for this lecturing business—that he is poor, and wants to raise money—the World remarks: A convicted thief once put in to his judge a plea of the same sort as Surratt's. "Well) your Honor, I must live;" to whom clear-beaded Jurist responded, "I see no necessity for that," It does not seem even to have ouccurred to Surratt that be tween dying and living by such means as he proposes to himself the former is clearly preferable. Of the two alternatives, let us commend suicide to him as being much more creditable to him and immeasurably More edifying to his fellow-citizens. Ju das Iscariot had the grace to hang himself, even after he had got his money. We see no reason why Surratt, who has not got his money, which he has made himself an abomination for, should not emulate his example. - arnatorz of the census of Phila delphia, ordered by the Department, to test alledged errors in the previous enumeration, gives a total of 678,726, an increase of 16,567.

THE ATLANTIC CABLES. —h appears now that we may have to be - content for some time to come with the limited and imperfect telegraphic communication with Europe afforded by the French cable, which has , been the only one working for nearly two weeks past. The injury to the English cables, laid from Heart's Content, .blewfounded, to Valentia Bay, Ireland, is serious, and the repairs will be difficult, They traverse what is called the sub marine plateau, a comparatively level ridge from 1,890 to 2,Q00 feet below the surface of the Atlantic, extending north east and southwest. It is conjectured that the cables have been broken by abrasion on the rocks, and the only means of reuniting them is by separately grap pling for each end and buoying them on the 'surface of the watdr while they can be spliced. To do this requires smooth water, such as is rare at this season of the year, :30.400 00 uOO 31,602,321 31 The French °able extends from Brest to St. Pierre, a small island south of New foundland, forming, with the adjacent Miquelon group, a colony of Prance.

An ad dress is proposed to the King from the in habitants, to be presented at Versailles, asking for the immediate bombardment of Paris.

Not many lives, but one have tie, How sacred should that one be." And still how many fritter away their lives, un able to fill any useful purpose, because some ling ering disease unfits them for It, and they neglect or refuse to use the remedies within their reach. God In his wonderful arrangement of nature has provided an antidote for all the Ws that human flesh is heir to, and by the aid of science the med icinal virtues of certain herbs, roots and harks have been combined and the result is known all over the civilized world as DLISHLEWS HERB BITTERS. It thoroughly purifies the blood, in vigorates the nervous fibres, elevates the stand ard of all the vital forms, and sustains a most healthful tone of the entire human organization.
