The day will •come when, as the cities on the Atlantic sea board 'grow larger, they will have their own *easels to import and export their merchan dise, and New York will be shorn of much 'of her boasted superiority in her importations. ,Eiren now a very considerable part of her im ports belong to other cities of the Union, and are imported for convenience In vessels run ning to her harbor.

We cannot perceive Clow •it can do so; unless that city has the sole con. Irol of the cable. The news from London will be published -in our evening papers of the same day it leaves London, while it does not appearnntil the next morning in most of the . papers of New York; and the same electric flash that brings the news to that city carries it alinost as soon to New Orleans. Men may be found in other, cities as intelligent as those of Gotham, and they need no longer wait for the steamers to determine the prices of cotton, stocks, etc. The planter can soon learn whe ther there is any dependence upon speculative -prieei for his produce, by an inquiry at the fountain head. It is useless, at this time, to predict the results of the operation of the Atlantic Telegrapb. It is the most startling Project the world perhaps ever saw, and the more we' reflect upon it, the more wonderful'dees it appear. The plateau dis covered at the bottom of the Atlantic, the recent discovery of gutta percha to cover the wires, the indomitable energy of FIELD and his associates—all seem to point out to us the mark of a superior providence, " whose path way is in the deep," not for the use of Now York, but for the whole world. Unlike Paris and Lindon;she is riot the seat of the General Government; she' cannot wield the 'destinies of this country, although she may lead the Way in many a commercial crisis to fall with ruin on thousands of the citizens of our whole Country. The business of New York for many years past has been kept up by excitements to draw people from other places to her. The Crys tal Palace, JENNY LIND, KOSSUTH, the Opera, JoYO Elirrn, the Wo oily Iforse, CHR/STY'S Min strels—have all had their day, and have drawn millions" of people to that metropolis; but people are growing tired of these things, and 'unless Queen VICTORIA or Louis NAPOLEON can 'be Induced to come over and be feted, even P.,i.ENIIM cannot obtain any curiosi ty or notability which would excite the public mind.: The'trade of our country is constant- t~ai~_-~ Tt' h. , ~~NV~ G YYYYYY u YYYYYY 'A sr(frlrri'~,}- Res, ;iea,9~='-` 'otrius nom--,etwatuoloyardt - jolyberv - ..... • porters ire Springing up in the largo cities of the , West.

Letter fkontrabiensiouill.” (001T!spiludeico,pt The Prose WASUINGTON; t3( - p - t,. 5, 1858 The appointment of the Commissioner to Para guay is a new Prise held out to the hungry patriots. A good many mouths are watering for it,,and a good many sorvioes VIII be rendered by one who may get it. The President is will aware of all this Ife knows the value of mob a place in such Cutest as these, and he will be in no burry to let his seleotion be announced. Mr. S. M. Johnson, of the_ Washington_ Union, who has oarnod good plane by his somersault In favor of Leoompton, after having been warmly against it, would doubt less take it, - now that the President refuses to re move General Campbell, the American consul, at Londois as J. has asked him to do. Bat Ido not think that " Simeon" will go to Paraguay. The nomination of Non. C. E. Stuart, as the Demooratio candidate for Governor of Michigan, is another significant indication of the public feel ing in the Northwest - Mr. Stuart is the same who so nobly sustained Douglas and Broderick in the United States Senate, and whose course against the English bribe was so bold and resolute. His nomination,was necessary to the salvation of the party; and though he oannot probably be elected, his selection as a candidate is a tacit confession of the great strength of the position he so early as sumed and so firmly maintained. I referred, the other day, to the removal of Da vidson, the United States marshal, of Illinois, for being friendly to Douglas, and forgot to mention that Davis, the United States marshal of Michi gan, had been removed for precisely the same rea• son. Davis is running ae the Demooratio candidate in a district Republican by '4,000 majority, with some chance of an election. One after another of the Democrats running for Congress in Ohio, Indiana, and elsewhere, are coming out against the English bribe, in order to save their nooks. Vallandigham, of the Dayton district, said, a few days ago: "Whenever that Territory (Kansas) shall pre tont to Congress a republican form of Constitution, framed by a Convention assema i ted and' acting under any valid law of her Territaiial Legislature, and submitted to and ratified by a fair and honest vote of the people, and shall ask admission under it, she shall have my voto for immediate admission un der such a Constitution, whether she shall have a few tbousandmoro or let than just ninety-threo thousand. [lmmense and long continued ap plause.]" All those are concessions to Douglas, who is marching on to victory in Illinois, to the Infinite terror of his enemies. OCCASIONAL. Letter from Lancaster. [Correspondence of The Prem.) LANCASTER, Sept. 2, 1858 DEAR rEEse: The political campaign of tho season is fairly opened. Thaddeus Stevens, Esq , has been placed in nomination by the Republicans and others rallying under the name of " Opposi tinn." Some weeks ago this nomination was scarcely contemplated as a political accident inci dent to the notion of tho Convention which nomi nated Mi. Stevens, he having written Mr. James Myers, of Columbia, that ho would not be a can didate beforo the Convention ; but since then Mr. S. has been in consultation with tho party lead ers at Washington, who, it is supposed, have in duced hini to withdraw his declination. The Examiner, the ably-oonduoted organ of the Opposition here, comes out today with treason in its leader against the nominee of the Opposi tion Convention. Mr. Darlington shows that in one or two wards of our city, there have been about fifty per cent. more votes polled at the delegate election than the Opposition ever polled at a general election ; and he asks what - right have we to complain of frauds in Kansas, if these practices are to be tolerated at home? Is there not some force in the question? The Convention of the Lecomptonites will not be hold until the 15th instant, when, it is sup posed, that Mr. James H. Hopkins, of Conowingo, once an old.line Whig, then a strong friend of Mr Buohanan, •now an uncompromising anti-Le. ooniptonite, will be nominated for Congress. A bettor nomination could not be made ; but how humiliating to the Administration ! Here, where tho President had so many warm friends ; here, whore their friendship was exhi bited In dragging down Scott's majority of over four thousand, and Pollook's majority of over six thousand, to a majority of about twelve hundred. must his office-holders seek among his political foes for a man to save his policy from the moat withering condemnation ! A Lecomptonite.on the ticket against so unpopular a man as Mr. Stevens, would bo defeated by from four to five thousand, and, perhaps, with the disorganizing policy of the Administration in Illinois before the oyes of the anti-Leoomptonitos, it may bo difficult to save arty candidate of the county committee's approval from a humiliating defeat. The anti•Lecomptonites are stubborn. They have felt the lash, and feel like kiokieg in the traces. The Leeemptonites forming the county committee have so far, consented to sugar•coat the pill for the anti-Leoomptonttes as to agree to offer no resolutions in the County Convention approving the Kansas policy of the Administration. So, the President wants the en. dorsement of a close eleotionia..mii-1-......--5t , .......- - .thitcretsang --- rrienne - sirtne Administration have received their instructions, and the little trim ming necessary to accomplish that result has.heen eimmenoed.' - Our second attempt to celebrate the great event of the nineteenth century was not so boisterous as the first. The bells were not rung, nor our great guns fired. Many of our houses were illu minated brilliantly; tar barrels , sugar hogsheads, and store boxes ware laid under Contribution, and blazed from nearly ail the central atroet intersec tions; rockets hissed through the air, plmtola fired uncomfortably near our ears. Altogether, the celebration of the succesiful working of the At. lantlo cable was an occasion for our juveniles to delight in, and our dailies to make a few neat items of. Of course, there are many of our "slow coaches" who think the Atlantis cable and Cyrus Field have been sufficiently talked about, so are willing to let them drop to ocean's profoundest depths.

KANSAS PEARLS AND GOLD.—A correspondent of the Lawrence Bolinldican gives some partiou lars concerning the 10 gold and pearl discoveries" in Southern Kansas. The new Eldorado is on the Walnut and Whitowater rivers, south of Brecken ridge county. Some of the pearls are said to be worth a . little, but the general assortment is valued at five dollars a peck. The gold disco veries on Pikes Peak turn out to ho equally mythical. It is reported, however, that fifty miles north, on Cherry creek, gold is found in onside.. ratio abundance. An exploring company declare that they if had proper apparatus for collecting the gold, each man could realize $2O per day. The su ...sad gold region is thus described in the New t omen Palladium,: "Pike's Peak is a spur of the Rooky Mountain chain, standing out to the eastward, in let 39, lon. 05. The head-waters of the Platte river flow northward from this region, and those from the Arkansas flow from its southern slopes to the eastward; while the Rio Grande takes its rise not fifty miles distant from this peak to the southwest, and. the Rio Colorado drains the westward slope of 'the Rooky Mountain ammo, not more than seventy miles from the same point. Here, in this narrow mountainous district, is ono of the most remarka ble . oentrexon this continent: the waters from its ridges flow_ off in four different channels, and by long and oirouitous routes—by the Platte river, the Missouri and the Mississippi, almost three thousand miles to the Gulf of Mexico; by the Ar kansas river, some two thousand miles into the Mississippi; by tho Rio Grander, through New Mexico and along our southwestern border, some eighteen hundred miles into the lulf of Mexico and"theAtlantio ; and lastly, by the Grand river 00, and California,n and the Rio Colorado through 'Utah, New Maxi e curse f nearly a thousand ass 'Utah, to the Pottle." in the California Gulf, a PREgg.-PIItiADELPHIA, MONtal t , PTEIVIMR & 185 A.

DEAR Pa'ass After an absence of twenty•eight years from this' delightful region, I find myself seated upon the left' bank of• the West Branch of the Susquehanna, three miles and a half above Money, and upon - the alto of Fort Munoy, so fa mous is the early history of our State. The region of country in which this spot is located is full of historical and traditional interest. I think there is no spot in Pennsylvania, not even excepting the valley of the North Branch, so full of reminis canoes of the olden time, ,"of moving inoldents by flood and field," as the neighborhood from which I write. will give you the exact location of Fort Mnney, for I find it wrongly described, in the last 'volume of the Colonial Pa:words. Instead of being two miles up the Munoy oreek from the Susque kanna, it is about two miles above Money creek, on the left bank of the West Branch of the Sus quehanna river, and on the right bank of Wallis' run, some three hundred yards from its entrance into the river. • It was a place of note during the Revolution, and after being an out-post to which groat im portance was attached by General Hartly, under whose superintendence it Was built, and_ re built after its destruction, it constituted one of the most important links in the chain of defences that stretched around the early settlements of the North and West Branches. It was from this fort that Van Campon and Brady sallied forth and scourged the red men for cruelties inflicted upon the infant settle month in the valleys of the Money Creek, West Branch, Block Hole, and White Deer. That the aborigines should have yielded up reluctantly those rich bottoms, fine streams, andklorious hunt ing grounds is not to be wondered at. That the contest was protracted, sharp, and cruel, that the worst traits of" the civilized and the savage should have marked the scenes, we can well suppose; but view it as we may, our sympathies are with our white brethren. And a visit to the families of those who were active during those scenes of blood-, shed and cruelty, or to those who took an native part—for numbers of them still live—and hear the recital of acts witnessed by them, to have locali ties pointed out where whole families were mur dered, where desperate hand-to-hand conflicts took place, the very graves of men, women, and children who fell victims to the knife of the sav age shown you, could not fail to give to every inch of ground an interest and a charm, melancholy it may be, but to the old settler, whose affections cling to it as if " grappled with hooks of steel," it is almost part of his life. Tbo•local antiquary regards the space between Munoy and the Loyaldook creek as the most in teresting section in the valley of the West Branch: Fort Munoy, the battle-field where stone-spears for arrow-heads may be found in abundance ; the mound where I have dug and found bones, beads, pipes. and other evidences of Indian character ; and within eyeshot of the old fort some workmen not long since wore excavating, and underneath a large ohostnut tree the bones of a white man wore found with a hole through the skull, and upon inquiry of an aged settler, he said that some sixty years before, a soldier from the fort was shot through the head and buried in that neighbor hood, and by name Frederick Campbell ; he also described his teeth, as he knew him well, and the old man's description was correct, leaving doubt az to their being the remains of poor Camp bell. The bones were removed to another place and reintorrod under circumstances less dangeroua than when " Uncle Billy" fired his rifle over the rude grave of his companion sixty years before. Within a mile of this place is Wolf Run, where Samuel Brady was murdered by the Indians. The place is pointed out by the old people of the neigh borhood ; it is about twenty yards below the run, on the loft-hand side of the road as you go to Munoy. An old residenter of Black Hole Valley pointed out the location in the Blaney hills of a notorious don of counterfeiters, some of whom are now in prison for the laudable effort to add to the " emulating medium." He gave it to me, as rather more than neighborhood gossip, that the tavern kept by the old sinner has been visited by lumber merchants, speoulators, and funotionaries high in position in the Commonwealth, under oir eumstances well calculated to throw doubts over the character of bonsai men, although judges, governors, &0., don't seem to be the sufferers. The Valley of the Munoy Creek, Black Hole Valley, and White Deer Valley are, I believe, the most productive regions in the State, and today they present a condition of things far surpassing anything to be seen in any other part of the State. In foot, the boasted' farming of Lancaster and other eastern counties sinks into nothingness when compared with the husbandry of the Wont Branch. Polities, "as far as heard from," are dull. One thing only eeoms tired—that Stephen A. Dou glas mill be the nominee of the Demooratio party for 1880. SCOUT. I have read, Mr. Editor, with much interest, two communications published in. your .pappr, on; j---.........,.............., ...... —0,15 u rihe - eig , nature of "• Interior," and the other "Good Cur ronoy ;" and with your permission, I wilt say a: few words in addition to what the latter correspond ent has said, in defence of the course our city banks have determined to pursue. In the first plane, I will inquire, what right has a bank, a private in stitution, as much so as a mercantile firm, to be required, by either public opinion, or convenience, or by law, to step without tho limits and obligatiogs of its charter, to secure other similar institutions or the business community? Who ever opened an account with a bank to benefit the bank or the public?, No one. Every customer a bank has; be it a corporation, an individual, or firm, is a custo mer from selfish motives. It is to benefit self, not the bank or the public, that the account is opened This is so plain and clear a fact, that I presume no one will dispute it. Thep, is not the publio the recipient of favors from Hie banks, rather than the banks from the public? Should I be wrong in this view, I will, with pleasure, bo corrected. But suppose I am right, what claim has one bank on another, or what claim has an individual on a bank 7 I contend, none whatever. All a bank, in my judgment, is required to do, is to confine its business within tho limits of its charter. Its first duty is to protect its stook holders ; and it should not be blamed for doing so, providing it acts in accordance with the provisions of the law which created it. " Interior" seems to think that the city banks should stop out of their way to oblige their country neighbors—that is, they should receive at par, and not send them home for redemption, the notes of country banks, that purposely keep their promises to pay on demand at from one.half per cent, discount upwards, for the exclusive object of making money out of the depreciated value of tifetr paper lie, also, in the name of the country banks, threatens to strike back if our city banks give tho first blow. As one of the friends of our city banks, I say, let them do it—" Lay on Macduff." I need not complete the quotation. Before I get through with this subject Mr Editor, unless in the mean time I should fatigue you and your readers by my verbosity, I will attempt to show some of those country banks to our Philadelphia community in their proper light ; and in endeavoring to do so, I shall give facts and figures, the latter of which, it is said, "cannot lie." Your correspondent,' Good Cur rency," is mistaken if he supposes that there is any probability of the next Legislature, or any of its succession, passing an ant re quiring the country banks to keep their notes at par in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. Ito doubtless will recollect that the general banking law of the 16th of April, 1850, contained such a provision as ho speaks of, which ought to have been binding upon the two banks be refers to, viz : the Harrisburg and York, but which was treated with contumely, not only by these banks, but by the Lebanon, Gettysburg, Chambersburg, West Branch, and other country banks I could enumerate. By the unjust not of the 13th of Oc tober, 1857, (Bth section,) this wholesome provision and requirement was repealed ; and, my word for it, it never will be re-enaoted : therefore, there is nothing to be looked for, in the shape of justice to the city banks, from the Legislature. Indeed, I should not bo surprised if a desperate effort would be made to make perpetual the provisions of the third section of the act of the 13th of October last, and add to it the obligation to receive on do posit, as well as in payment of debts, due and to become due, tho notes of all solvent banks. Such an effort as this was made at the last session, and there is no reason to believe or hope it will not be renewed at the next. As I before said, with your approbation, I shall continue the disoussion of this matter until I have exhausted my argument. and I trust that some one of your numerous readers, more intelligent on the subject than 1 am, will also take up the cudgel in behalf of our city banks. HTUE OLDEST ORM MILL IN PENNSYLVANI —How few of the many persona who take an af ternoon drive along Church lane, now called Mill street, know the history of that quaint old steno mill, situated in a romantio spot, about a mile from the main street, partially surrounded with rooks and large trues, and alongside of a sparkling stream. This primitive structure, still used by Spencer Roberts as a grist mill, was erected as early as 1683, by Richard Townsend, a Friend,who brought most of its materials from England. Some years afterwards, in his printed address to Friends, he speaks of this mill and his early difficulties. He states that his was the only mill for grain in all the surrounding country, and that it was of great service to the inhabitants for miles around. Farmers who wished their grist ground brought it there on their backs, save ono man, who had a tame bull to perform the labor. On account of his seolusion, being in the midst of the woods, ho had great difficulty in obtaining fresh meat, and was occasionally weeks without any. On one occasion, while he was mowing in his meadow, a young deer came very near to him, seeming to wonder at his labor; it would follow him while he worked, but when he stopped or ap proached it, it would skip away. On one ocoasion, howaver, an accident made him stumble, and so seared the deer that it rushed suddenly aside against a sapling, which stunned it so much that it fell, and was captured alive, and soon after killed, to the great relief of the family. Reader, if you pass by the old grist mill again, think of the hardships of our forefathers, and the sufferings which they went through.—Germantozon Tab graph. ~ Country Banks.” Pmempute, August 30, 1858 PLAIN TRVTII THE, LATEST NE WS BY TELEGRAPH. litekmau Nobly Sustained at Home by ' ' - • the People , U Party.

The President has been earnestly attentive to all laws, trestles and authorities on the subject of our oh ligatiens with regard to the slave trade, with a view to a decision In the cane of the capture of the slaver Echo. The Attorney General has furnished a mass of valuable information, from which it appears we have not at present an agent on the coast of Africa for re ceiving returned Africans captured on board slavers, and that there had been great expense and abuses in the system. In ten yearn two hundred returned slaves had coot over two hundred the amend dollars. On one occasion, in 180, the Government had turned over three hundred, captured by the Yorktown, on board the bark Pone to the Colonization Society.

Dr. George W. Nebinger was next called for, and he at once took the stand, end made an address defining his position, which would have done no discredit to the ablest statesman in the Union. Calmly and forci bly he recited the necessity for a tariff to protect American Industry ; but when he came to recount the wrongs inflicted upon 'Democrats and laboring men in Government employ, his impassioned eloquence stirred the souls of all present to the most de termined resistance to arbitrary power He re viewed the Kansas policy of the Administration, and pronounced it the basest attempt to enbjuirate a free people that the amide of political crime gave to history. He said that having received the nomina tion of the Deinocratia party, fairly, he would now go forth into every division of every ward in the First Oongreeelonal district, and proclaim the fact that ho was the only regular Democratic candidate before the people, and fight manfully the principles of truth and justice, and for a tariff to protect American Indus= try. No threats should intimidate him, no alture 'cents or promiaes turn him from the plain path of duty. If successful, tyranny and usurpation would be rebuked and checked, and if defeated, he would at least bare the con ens 011etteeti that he had preserved his manhood and defied despotic authority.

THE FATE OF GENIUS [From the Pittsburgh Morning Post.l A few years since, wo met the gifted, but way ward, Sumner Lincoln Fairfield. Tim unfortunate and wretched child of song was at that time trav elling to the South, with a view to the improve ment of his health. Ile was acoompanioil by his eon, a remarkably bright and beautiful youth of ten or twelve years of age. In a conversation with the past, we remarked that the lad seemed to pos sess genius, and gave promise of distinction and usefulness With a deep, heartfelt sigh, the unhap py father replied, "I feag your words are too true. Tho boy has fine parts, but I would rather he were an idiot than a genius. As an idiot, ho would be obscure and comparatively happy; 119 a genius, he would ho envied, hated, eccontrm, and wretched. It is, ti most parents, flattering to bo told that their offspring is gifted, but I would rather see my Poor boy in his grave than know that he is the possessor of that fatal thing called genius." A few weeks after, in looking over a paper pub lished in Now Orleans. wo saw the announcement of the death of poor Fairfield. The unfortunate and brilliant man died in misery and want in the very prime of life, and was, we believe, buried at the expense of his ,friend ' and school-fellow, George D. Prentice, Esq., of the Louisville Jour nal. Fairfield was a man of fine education and splendid poetic endowments, but misfortune marked him for its own, and now, far from his native hills, he lies in an obscure corner, with no hand to scatter flowers upon his grave, and no eye to drop a precious tear to his memory. Thus it is too often with men of genius. Proud, sensitive, and aspiring, they become soured ani chagrined, avoid their fellows, and frequently die in want and misery. It is said that between his fortieth and sixtieth year, Sir Walter Scott re alized by the productions of his pen at least half a million of money -Thou followed a terrible re verse, and the panic of 1826 came, leaving the great magician in debt to the amount of one hundred and thirty thousand pounds! The gentle and genial old man labored hard to relieve himself Irom his embarrassments. Nis pmitictions yielded him during six years some eighty thousand dollars a year, but his health tailed, and at last ho per ished in a giant-like effort to satisfy his creditors. John Keats. "who sparkled, was exhaled, and went to 'leaven," lived long enough to dazzle the world with his genius, and then died from the effects of poison, administered by a heartless viperish reviewer. The fate of Ohatterton, the " marvellous boy who perished in his pride "—is alas too well known. Prodigally endowed, with wonderful inventive powers, a daring fancy, and an intellect as bril liant as it was original and vigorous, he experi enced cruel neglect, suffered from hunger, and finally, in a moment of despair, perished by his own hand. Thus passed away one whose youthful productions have made his home immortal. and whose more mature efforts would doubtless have ranked hint second only to him who " first exhaust ed worlds, and then invented new." His biogra pher tells us that he was buried without ceremony, among paupers, in Shoo Lane ; his identity could with difficulty be established when tho fact was known. In his Lives of the Poets," William Hewitt says: "By one of those sets which neither ee oleo nor Curiosity can excuse, the skull of Pope is now in the prii ate collection of a phienologist, ! The manner in which it was obtained is said to have been this : on some occasion of alteration in the church, or burial of seine one in the same spot, the coffin of Popo was disinterred, and opened to ace the slate of his remains; that by a bribe to the sexton of the time, possession of the skull was obtained for a night, and aunt/ter skull returned itudoad of it. 1 have heard that fifty pounds were paid to manage and carry through this transac tion. Bo that as it may, the skull of Popo figures in a private museum!" There's fume for yen, aspiring, verse-writing reader. Think of it. The skull of the author of the Bs.say on Criticism, and the translator of the Iliad of Homer, is now in the private colleotion of a phrenologist. The skull of the companion of Bolingbroke, Halifax, Addison, and Mary Mon tague, is in a private museum. "The palace there a god might dwell," nay, did dwell, is now the prepay of a mountebank, and vulgar eyes gaze at, and filthy hands toss about, that which wan once the demo of • thought, the seat of learning, wit, and poetry. Verily in this there is much to console the admirers of the logical, po lished, pungent, and pestle Pope. The woes of genius meet us at every turn. Byron, Burns, Ileums, McLean, Poo, and others rise up before us, and their faults, sufferirgs, and misfortunes claim and receive our pity and our tears. Rather than endure what Cbattorton and Keats endured, starer what Henning and Shelley suf. 'feted, and die as Burns and Byron died, would it not be better to watch flecks through life and die as died the hind who thought the world was bounded by his native hills? How true is this, from a recent essay'by Montalembert "The craving for public' offence is one of the worst of social maladies It spreads through the entire nation a venal and a servile humor, which by no means exoludes the spirit of faction and love of anarchy. It creates a crowd of hungry beings capable of the utmost fury to assuage their appetites, and ready for any bust- Men when the appetites have been appeased. A people of place•hunters is the most worthless of all populations." Mr. Fuller Darnell, aged about sixty years, died suddenly in Washington city on Thureday, He waa muoh reepeoted. • • THE COURTS.

The rope was fastened to the beam, a white ()loth was tied over his face—all is now adjusted. The sheriff bids him a final farewell. There is not a sound in the vast assemblege. Slowly the sheriff retired to the back end of the platform The prisoner stands without a motion. The sheriff strikes the fatal blow, cuts the rope, the trap-door falls, but alas for the unfortunate man, the rope breaks and ho is precipitated forward upon has face. Ono terrible shriek of horror went up from the vast throng, many fainted, one of the guard fell in a fainting fit from his horse. The unhappy man lay for is few moments motionless and senseless, the blood streaming from his mou+h and nostrils. Ile then groaned and struggled, and,was soon re stored to consciousness. Again he was carried upon the platform and upon the .trap-door, supported, staggering and bleeding, a terrible sight. Again the fatal rope was adjusted, when the sheriff asked him, "Do you still adhere to your statement of your inno cence?" In a clear, audible voice, he answered, "I do"—the only words he spoke after hie fall. Ile was unable to stand this time upon the trap door, and was supported. When the rope.was cat the door fell, and ho was suspended between hea ven end earth. The fall did not broak his neck, and after some twonty.mitiatec ho was choked to death. DEEP-SEA SOUNDINGS. Recent scientific successes impart new interest to anything concern ing the depths of the ocean. Two articles relatirg to this subject appear in the September number of the American Journal of Science and Arts, the effect of which is to throw doubt upon the exist ence of the "telegraphic plateau," of which so much has been said within a few months. The first is the report to ProfePor Beebe, made by W. P. Trowbridge, Assistant United States Coast Survey. Mr. T., who appears to bare devoted to the sub ject much investigation, thinks the best contri vance for obtaining deep soundings is by Massey's Indicator, which registers the descent of the lead by means of a helix or spiral water wheel. Lieut. Berryman's observations, having been taken by this instrument, are considered more reliable than Liout. Dayman's , but, according to Mr. T., from neither can the existence of a plateau between Newfoundland and Ireland be shown He says, in conclusion : The idea of a plateau' existing between New foundland and Ireland is not warranted, it seems to me, by any observations that have yet been made. The range of errors may be as great as 500 fathoms, which would admit of the existence of a submarine mountain on this line, half as high as Mount Washington. A trueNection of the Atlan tic can only be determined by improved modes of sounding, since from the preceding discussion wo may be warranted in the conclusion that it is praotiaally impossible to determine the greatest depths of the ocean by the methods now in use." Mr. T. says that, although mnoh has been done to overcome the practical difficulties which for merly embarrassed attempts to obtain deep sound ings,.it is still undeniable that much uncertainty exists in the determinations made where the depth is not far from 2,000 fathoms, while below that point the errors and uncertainties amount to fail. urea. The opinion is expressed that the " Current Indicator," invented by Joseph Sextet', might, with Blight modifications, be made superior to any sounding instrument now in nee. The Providence Journal says the rot is mak ing sad havoc among The potato fields In Bristol county, Mass , and Bristol county, R. I. Some of the farmers in the towns of Bristol, Warren, and Barrington will not average half a crop, while not a few will scarcely save enough, of game kinds, for seed for another year.
