ATLANTIC TRLEGR.APIL
Tliev great questiOn of the day—we might
sity-of the probably be solved In a
few days. The laying down of the Atlantic
cable has commenced ere this, and we shall
know ,in -.another week whether: the experi-
Mont be a success or failure. There are
two things to be dreaded: - These are the
sudden breaking of the Cable, 'whether old
or new, and the ability' to transmit a
complete current of electrical communica
tion, 'through 2,400 miles of cable, under wa
ter, the utmost length through which it yet
has been passed on land, without interruption,
being 1,200 miles,-or half that distance. The
electrical fluid-was transmitted through 3,000
Miles - of the telegraph cable; coiled up, bat
there is a doubt whether this could' be done
if the, full . length were. stroiabed out, at thii
bottom` of the sea. This can 'only,be aster
tilded.bir actual 'experiment.
Next in importance, if not quite as import
ant, is the practicability of carrying the tele.'
graph wire, without breaking, from shore to
shore, acreas - 116) Atlantic. In the experi
ments made, only the -other day, in the Bay
of Biscay, the cable broke Ave times, in three
dii:Ys' paying out. The strain on the cable is
so very great that the iffightest check causes
a snap. trio true that the septtroted,
can be spliced, and that, thus rennited; they
will operate efficiently. 'But itch as likely ,as
not that the cable, if it should snap, may have
the end drojipeCao as not to bo recovered and
fished itti . or drawii up for the purpose of being
spliced.'"
We shall neither be gram-lied nor disheart
ened by the failure of the-second .experinient
to, lay the telegraphic cable across the Atlan
tic.- -We limy be baffled, but- not beateni,for
science; , 'energy - , perseverance; and
purpose calraCeornplish almost every material purpose
in thls'World dorms. Sooner or later ; we aro
persuaded, the aucceta will ,come—the more
acceptable for temporary failure and delay.
After ail, woniay be anticipating gloomily
withent - cause.-Terhaps,.,the telegraph • will
be a triumphant success, apd that, next week,
'Queen lhoroura will 6e !lending friendly mes
sages witictiwill, be answered with courteous
regard by President BUOUANAN.
THE MEETING OF COUNCILS
- A number of matters of interest came be.
'fore the day Muttons at the regular meeting
yesterday. At thelast - meeting, the reports

order44.one to consolidate ,"certain depart
ments of public service.now distinct and Sepa
rate one with 'a single administrative
ham ; and the other to reduce the numeri
cal force as well as tho emoluments of the
pollee. . ,
Welacy° that public opinion:is, ready.to
%sanction these measures with the' single view
'ciffiectringeconomi, in the adminititration-of
our miiniolpal System.'. We.believe that, with
the-Valuable assistance:no* rendered bathe
efficient working ti.ftlie municipal telegraph, a
reduction may well be made in the police force,
:and that the ntimber limbed in the .proposed
plan (600) is as liirge as the .present size and
population of the 'city require: . At the same
time, iveare decidedly opposed to thereduction
of salaries: The prites.,now paid are certainly
loW•tniongh, and to reduce them _ any lower
would be' a damage; rather than a' benefit to
the public service., The positionof policeman
Is 'by no means a sinecure. It, in fact, ; re
quires the devotion' of the occupant's entire
time, and if the, duties attaching-to it are
lienorahly discharged, they deserve a full and
commensurate pecuniary return. • Poor pay
seenres'poor men, and the city would be better
oft Without' any police than with a force

Governor WIRE ftilly approves the following
sentiments of the Enquirer :
4.11/preiedent anCpesition, the course of this
Commonwealth is definitely mapped out. She will
adhere to the Colon with unfaltering loyalty.
The bond of affection which binds her to the South
binds her also to the North. In the re c ipro c ity of
eiinsinon benefits 'and social' conneedons, she
owes a duty-alike to Penndylvania and Louisiana.
Neltherthe similarity of domestic institations, nor
the community of Revolutionary memories, on the
one part or on the ,etber, will be allowed to im
pair this bond
,of equal brotherhood. Whenever
'an irreparable-wrong shall sever this bond, a just
resentment against the wrong doer, a heartfelt
sympathy with the Injured party, and a due re
gard to.her own great moral and material ie.
teresta, will determine the ultimate course of
Virginia. ' Whatever new' connection she may
then form, by - virtue of het position as an inde
pendent State,-no party and no section can right
fully tax her with the 'betrayal •of the common
cause. She hue never assumed the position of a
seetional• partisan. When she makes common
cause with the - Worth or with the South, it is
purely for the sake of justice and equality ; and
the cause is always. ended whenever these ends
are attained."
These are manly. words, and fitly spoken.
They have the true ring of independence, and
in the atmosphere of Virginia they find many
willing hearts , to echo them. The peOple of
that Cotamenwealth instinctively honor true
courage; and they never hesitate to yield their
confidence to the . legislator or journal' labia.
displays the virtue.• They remain true to him
who boldly meets the crisis when it comes,
and whenever falters on any prominent tines
tion of the day. This it is which has vitalized
the State -pride of Virginia,- and which has
made her- Congressional delegation a unit
upongreat puhlic issues. The closest attach
ment between, representative and constituent
is thus established, Old the voice. of the State
is made 'Potential in the councils of the na
tion.. It would-be well to imitate in-the Key
stone State the cultivation of a like feeling.
Such a policy would bring. -into Congress,
from Pennsylvania, representatives who would
be ever true to Pennsylvania interests, and
who would cheerfully assume the responsibili
ty of acting with disinterested and fearless in
dependence upon all questions.
CENTRAL AMERICA
"Man proposes, but God disposes," says
the old French proverb. The reigning Empe
ror of the French and the British Ministers
would do well to take this as a cud to chow
about Central Anierica.
On a that glance at the subject, it seems
easy enough for Franco and England, wheti at
peace between themselves, to control the lath
'mils over which the wealth of Heathendom
must Mainly pass to the coffers -of Christen
dom. They are the only great maritime
Powers of Europe, and they can, therefore, at
any moment, concentrate in the equatorial
regions an allied fleet which our present dimi
nutive navy would vainly attempt to resist.
We must admit this; and we may affirm, also,
that we must be mad to attempt to get up, es
'ensibly for peace, but really for war, a Power
ful' marine armament, in order to solve by
force the Central American question.- The
Powers against which we should be thus arm
ing would never wait until we were ready, and
then give us battle. They would precipitate a
conflict before we were ready. •
Thus, in a' purely military view; Central
America is not at present under our control.
The Emperor of the French is essentially a
military mart; and he is, probably, from that
,cause, incapable of rising above the military
view of the matter. In other words, his habits
and position disable him fi - om considering the
manifest •'destiny of Central America, which
tnueli-abnied expression we employ to convey
our tense of the highest political aspect of the
question. Wo think that the Almighty has at
work, in our favor, influences altogether too
potent for European intervention in the affairs
of the Isthmus. We thee return to our text—
• c Mart proposes, but God disposes."
In order that a country may be profitably
colonized, its native population must be capa
ble of being' turned to good account as la
borers, or else the colonists themselves must
do the whole of , the bard work of pioneers.
.In a temperate climate, Englishmen; or
Frenchmen; or Americans, of our confedera
.tiononay, and will readily fulfil the latter al
ternative. Thb English and the French did
wonders in- the way of hard work and suffer
ing ait North American colonists; what•they
began to do we have carried out to perfection,
by our own labor or by the labor of other
white men in the temperate regions of the
United States. But as we approach the
- tropics, we instinctively shirk toil, and are
obliged to confess that the sons of Africa
must raise rice and bane; and pick cotton on
our account. We love the green fields of the
latitude' of 40 deg., but we cannot endure the
fervid sun of 80 deg.
The present population of 'Central America
is incatiable of ; labor, tinder freedom and under
slavery alike. There is no industry, no cou
rage, no, knowledge—in fine, no element of
prosperity in the mongrel race that now in.
habits teat most important territory. The de
bilitating climate has reduced the whites to a
lower level than Is possible, oven for Span ;
lards, elsewhere. They mean' to live on the
spontaneity of nature. As for the residue of
the population, its taint of idleness is also in
curable.
• Neither Great Britain nor France has a sur
plus population of African race with which to
colonize Central America. We have such a
surplus; and that simples is accumulating an
nually on our bands, not only by natural in
crease of the race, but by decrease of the area
iPtin Which Its labor can be advantageously
employed. Some persons may be surprised
by an affirmation that the area of productive
slave-labor in the United States Is not increas
ing as rapidly as the African race increases.'
It is nevertheless so ; although a fictitious and
unnatural price • of cotton and anger during
several • years may have inflated the price of
slaves, and so have created a contrary popu
let: impression. That inflation is in the course
of - subsidence now, and all men will soon per
ceive that there is ,a redundant afar° popula
tion in these 'United States—that the difficulty
is not to get African labor; but to employ it
to profit within our present territory—and
that We therefore, have within ourselves the
means orcolOnizlng profitably Central Ame
rica, of which - the United States may tie the
head, whilst Afriban labor may he the hand. "
„We:believe that will shortly be the dis
-position of Central America; let man propose
What he' will in a contrary direction. Possi

THE ADERNIETRATION AND THE RIGHT
A•few days.age r a new and studied attempt
Was ; ramie: to, excite the ,public mind on the
subject of the right of search. Ifigh ground
was taken to show that the English Govern
ment was resolved to adhere to that right, and
that, at all hazards, they should be compelled
to abandon it. Our valuable correspondent
It Occasional," in his letter of Tuesday, ex
posed this attempt as-a,design to disturb the
friendly. relations between this country and
England, and this, too, in view of the auspi
cious news by the last steamer, while instating
that the right of search should bo given np at
once and forever. " Occasional" showed that
It was a, piece.of mere partisan madness to at
tempt to arouse the war spirit in the face of
tho late amicable and earnest declarations of
the English government. The.,Yirashington
correspondent of the Philadelphia North .Rme
rican," Independent," does ample justice in his
letter of, Tuesday to the part which the Admi
nistration has taken in these transactions :
Since Lord glatmesbury has gone so far, the
time is auspicious for a formal declaration, by
which our future intercourse will be saved from
the recurrence of this irritating issue, which has
always involved to a greater or lees extent a point
of honor on both sides—the point most perilous
between-brave and powerful nations. Nor should
the occasion be allowed to. pass, whatever dif
ferences of political opinion may exist, without a
just and becoming tribute to the able, resolute, and
patriotic course of Gen. Case. If there be one clues.
lion more than another, to which he has especially
contributed the efforts, the seal. the investigation,
and the unswerving purpose of the last twenty-Ore
years of his public' career, seconded by all the in
fluence of his commanding character at home and
abroad,lthas been this right ofsearoh. Indeed,it bad
come to be considered in some degree as his pecu
liar province or specialty. And when his instruc
tions to Mr. Dallas come to be scanned by the im
partial judgment of men disembarrassed by all
party ties, it will be seen how much the country
is indebted to him for a settlement, which at once
relieves our diplomatic relations of their most vex
atious and threatening aspect. It is gratifying to
me, as a political opponent, to have the opportu
nity of expressing these sentiments, and the wore
°vernally so, since there are some [Mitoses in the
diplomacy of , the Administration which required
another sort of criticism at my hands. This is a
great triumph in every sense, and nothing but the
most narrow and bigoted partisanship can deny
those who have achieved it the high credit which
they are entitled to claim from a generous publio
BY MIDNIGHT MAIL
LETTER FROM d , OCCASIONAL.”
fOorreopoodence of The Press 1
Weenylaroff, June 24, 1818
Decidedly the aspect of the future is gloomy.
The Kansas affair has not united the South in
favor of the -Administration.' It has given new
life to the Americana; it has exalted deep indigna
tion in the Demooratio ranks in the South, - on
account of the proscription it has given rise to;
it has not destroyed Wise, and it has divided the

breathe our pure air and enjoy our lovely scenery.
On this occasion Easton becomes lively; our fair

sociable and hospitable citizens make themselves
more sociable, and entertain strangers unusually
well. The college is mhphatioally a Pennsylvania
college, 'and should receive the patronage of Phi.

fore the alumni ; Tuesday evening, oration before
the literary societies, by Professor Nairne, of New

up the Delaware, Water (lap, Bethlehem, and
Mauch Chunk Yours, • X.

have a great success—which means, a series of
successes. Lastly, the Keller Troupe are exhibit

word, and hie ableaux are wonderfully good.

Mr. Winter" gave a history of the matinee .in
which this judgment originated against the city.
He urged them to pav the claim at - once.
Mr. Mauler thought there was something rotten
and foul in this claim, and that they had better
carry the subject up to the Supreme Court. He
doubted the validity of the claim, as ft had been
before the Committee on Claims, and Mayer Wan
was then the counsel of the claimant. •
Mr. ,Ceoloy. could ma why the, claimants
throw off so large a men as $BOO for the payment
of ife-he was fearful there wee something wrong
about it. Ho moved to peßpone the subject for
the present.
Mr. Rooker said this deduction was for the
accumulation of interest upon the claim.
Mr. Handy said the agreement for this declare
tlen were entered into before the decree was made
against the city. The matter had been fully in
vestigated, and the charge -of collusion between
the ICensington,Commissioners, or the engineers of
the works, could net substaatiated.
Mr. Wagner said he was President of the Ken
sington Commissioners at the time this contract
-was made, and BO far ae be could ascertain, there
was no collusion about the matter.
The motion to postpone was lost by a - vote of 51

that the election of pollee magistrates was to be a

citor does not deem any legal action to be neces
sary until the semi is .completed, when, if such
statement be not made, he will institute legal pro
ceedings.
Mr. Beideman said that be understood that there
was a square of this road - as yet not completed,
and there appeared not the least prospect that the
company ever intended to complete it. Unde
this state of affairs the company might never be
compelled to complete it. Mr. B. therefore moved
a reference of the communication to the Commit
tee on Railroads, which was agreed to.
Tho Commissioners of the Sinking Fund forwarded
a communication; amending their report 0f.,31ay

Mr. Iteideman, from the 'Clommittenpn nal
roads, reported an ordinanee regulating the gauge

the granting the privilege to the Citizens' Passen
ger Railway of laying rails along Columbia ave
nue, between Tenth and Elevent h streets, report
ed - a regolution granting the privilege, which .was
agreed to.
The'Committee on Police, to whom was referred
certain police appointments, reported in favor of
confirming Said , nominations, and they were con
firmed accordingly.
. Mr. Methane offered a resolution that when
Councils adjourn, it be to take a recess of four
weeks.
Mr. Noel hoped not. Ile desired that the eon
testing of Seats should be proceeded with, as the
committee - were not yet ready to report; and, in
,addition to this, Councils, have to enter into an
election of commissioners. He was willing to have
a recess, but not at the present time.
Several members urged that the mess be
adopted. -
Mr. Common said that by no means should a
recess be taken until the new heads of departments
are elected.
Mr. Cuyler. - And pray why, may I ask for in
formation, should this matter be hurried at once?
Mr. Cornman replied at some length, reflecting
on the Commissioner of Highways.
Mr. Cuyler defended the Highway Commis
aioner as ono whom he considered the moat honest
of all the heads of departments. "
Mr. Common again replied, urging the election
of new heads of departments.
Mr. Cuyler replied in justification of tho parties
impugned. Ho was followed by Mr. Nathans
(dem.) in the siiine tone

,Upon returning, the President announced the
pro-determined result.
Mr. Cxyler offered a resolution that Select Coun
oil meet Common Council on July 29, at their
stated mooting,.in order to Aeleot heads of depart
ments._
Mr. Leidy moved to lay upon the table, which
was lost.
Mr. Common maid ho was happy to see the gen
tleman from the Eighth (Mr Ouyler) returning
even to a partial sense of propriety. The aotion
of the Chamber, in thus adjourning for four weeks,
was a violation of the law governing the Cham
ber. It has been passed by a bare majority of
one, and for the sole purpose of giving the heads of
the departments' at additional period of four
weeks to plunder and rob the 'city.
A motion wee made to postpone, but was lost by
a vote of 12 to it
The original motion was then carried.-

an appropriation to pay the interest on the
debt of the city falling due on the lot of July,
1858, was concurred in.
Mr: Rivey said he was a meuitier of the Finance
Committee, but was not satisfied with this claim,
and could see no . reason why Mu Vandyke .should
not indemnify the city against. aiay further claims
on this Recount. •
Mr. Hacker said-the claimants were indifferent
about the passage of this ordinance to-dav, as they
were satisfied that they could recover the whole
amount '
The amendment offered by Mr. Handy was
agreed to by a vote of 49 to 29. -
Mr iteliy moved to indefinitely postpone the
subject, and that the Solicitor take such aotion-as
he thinks appropriate. Not agreed to.
The ordinance then parsed a final reading.
A message was received from - Maier:Henry..
stating that he had signed certain resolutions and
ordinances.

Mr. Wister naked permission to offer a resolu
tion that they meet in convention on thee day

mined upon in their separate bodies.
Mr. Wharton then declared !the convention na•

the marked courtesy extended to en inquisitive
stranger by Mr Edwin 'Clark, the patentee arid proprie
tor, we are en - shied to speak advisedly with reference
to capacities of his loireotioq.
The plain. prectical construction of the mill, renders
Ito rhOrOirgh understandirig easy, even to 'the inexpe
rienced. To illustrate the Wunpactness of a piece of
machinery of ouch extraordinary opacity, we may
state that the mill complete, occupies a space only four
feet wide, eight feet high, and twenty-nine feat in
length, and that'll manufacturer within this coreract
ed space, at a single operation; family extra, extra,
superfine, end all the tower grades of flour and offal.
Of the dour promo d, we are warranted In saying that
it is 'equal to the beat brands: we hare ever examined.
- A
very practical, and, as it imams to ui, important
doisideration attached to this mill, is, that there are
Many establishments in this city and throughout the
country ritsseesing a more than reuals'to amount of
steam or- water-power for their present operations,
which, from the very limited space occupied by one of
these mills, 'could, by introducing ono or more of them,
be made highly remunmatlve. We throw this out as a
suggestion, feeling assured that it can be turned to
profitable acc.nitt; and should Mr. Edwin Clark Rod
an accelerated sale of 'his noble patent on the strength
of what we have laid, he need not be surprised. We
ate authorized to state, that to accommodate parch*.
sera, the tinire ate made of different diameters, varying
from twenty-four Inches to four feet. One of these
=lS="=l
ter, and requiring but little more than eig-horse steam
power to propel, will manufacture, on as average, two
barrels of the very best flour per hour. producing a
barrel of flour from four bushels gad ten parade of
wheat.
With regard to'the main peculiarities of thli inven
tion, we may atate, for the information of practical mil.
lore, that instead of raking and toweling the spindle,
and the burr connected with it, se has always hereto
fore - been done, the burro In this mill are adjusted by
raising and lowering the upper one, although the
lower burr , to -the revolving one. In thus raising
and lowering the ripple burr, it freely balances by its
. •
own gravity, so than its face is always perfectly paral
lel with the face of the lower burr; and as the rime of
the burrs are - kept thus exactly parallel with each
oilier, the burrs will produce Mine of a perfectly even
texture, with greater rapidity and with less
power. Besides DMA adjustable feature, the upper
atone' has an automatic or self-adjusting property
which is of great !advantage, as every one will
clearly understand irho will examine for him
self, which all are at perfect liberty to do at all
home of the day, from seven in the morning to six in
the evening. The conveniently-portable character of
thin mill, and its ease of erection, are in themselves
items amounting to a consideration of thousands of
dollars where mills are to be erected, especially at a
distance from the city. Nor to Ito simplicity of con.
woe:icor—being thereby freed from liability to get out
of order—a less important item in its favor. In ad
dition to them general writs, there are numerous
others, which the already protracted length of this
article deters ne from referring to at present. There le
one fact, however, which having been to us mi
lady demonstrated, and which, it seems-to um, speaks
volumes in favor of its completeness, we cannot
help mentioning. Bye Moat ingenious arrangement cry
portion of the ground material may be reconductel to the
eye of the mill-burr, and reground with the wheat ; or, if
the miller desires it ) can be retained and rebutted with
out grinding any portion of it; or it can be rejected
altogether, or any portion'of it 7 .all of which Is elected
by the operation of a single elide, so accurately ad.

jwited that these seenral changes may be effected at
Intervals of map-sixteenth part of an inch, if dented.
In coOrmatlon of the praise we have awarded to
tide improved patent merchant milt of Mr. Edwin
Clark, We were shown a certidaste setting forth the su
perior qualities of the Invention, in terms which were
to tos entirely satisfactory, signed as they were by Tory
many of the best khown and lareetresperienceil practical
Millers in this State.
Upon the whole; we hare every reseon to believe that
the mill here referred to le one of the most important
improvements in milling machinery that have been
brought out within the preeent century, and its early
introduction into all parte of thin country and Europe
may, we think, be confidently expected by Its fortunate
proprietor.

following our example, and . making a personal exami

MEDIA, PA., June 23, 1658
,Ino. W. Folmar, ESQ• : In your paper of yes
terday you mention the circumstance of the con
templated laying of the corner-stone of our new
Episcopalian Church here I notice a mistake,
and also what might be construed into an error in
regard to it. The ceremony (D. V) will take
place on Monday, sth July, (not 4th,) at noon.
Bishop Lee, of Delaware, has consented to olb -
elate; he was fixed upon before Rev. Dr. Bowmen
bad been elected assistant bishop of the State.
The latter has been invited to be present and
assist, and has signified hie willingness to do so, if
able. Invitations 'have also been extended
many other of the clergy to be present, and a num
ber have replied consenting.
I will feel - thankful if can make this correc
tion in your paper. Truly yours,
HENRY S. GET,,
Minister of Christ Church, Media, Pol. co., pa
