THE TRIAL OF HISS mums,
AT WASHINGTON.
The Testimony for the Defence—Letters
from the Deceased.
The trial of Miss Mary Harris, who shot Mr.
Burroughs, a clerk in the Treasury Depart
ment, is now in progress at Washington, D. C.
The defence have set up the plea of tempo
rary insanity at the time the deed was com
mitted. On Monday a Mrs. Harris (no rela
tive of the accused), testified that she had
known both the accused and deceased in Chi
cago, for the last three years, and that from
the manners of the two she was led to believe
they were engaged to be married, although
31r. Burroughs never stated that they were.
At the time Burroughs married another lady
Miss Harris had told witness that she believed
the deceased had proved false to her, and that
he had endeavored to induce her to go to a
diSreputable house. She was very much wor
ried about it.
The accused's lawyer testified that Miss
Harris came to him in July, iset, requesting
him to commence a suit against Burroughs for
breach of promise. The accused's motive for
prosecuting the deceased was for the sole pur
pose of vindicating, her character and honor
She exhibited to the lawyer (Lewis H. Davis)
the letter of Burroughs referred to above, in
viting her to a disreputable house. Until she
received this letter she had loved Burroughs,
but now that love had turned to hate.
A number of letters from deceased to ac
cused were read in court. The folloiving ex
tract from one of these epistles is a fair index
of the whole. It is dated Monday, August 25
1959, and is addressed to— , 4 oh! My dear little
Rosebud." Burroughs writes
"Many times I had longed for your picture,
and let my imagination dwell upon the receipt
of, but durst not ask you for it, for reasons I
will give you if we ever meet—not now: but it
is the more grateful, coming as surprise of
such-inexpressible delight. Really, Mollie, as
I returned from the post office,
_after receiving
it, I felt so light I could with difficulty keep the
ground. I could scarcely avoid flying. I want
ed to button-bole everybody I met, and show
them what I had got, and it required all the
sense Of propriety I could command to keep
myself from doing so.
aOh ! that beautiful picture! beautiful! beau
tiful! beautiful! and my beautiful! beautiful
What can I now say for her? I cannot
say—words fail me. Could I see her, I might
perhaps express faintly what are my feelings
as reawakened by such visible testimony of
her loveliness. O! Mollie, Mollie! you have
turned my dry, sterile old bachelor heart into
a gushing, fountain of glad emotion and warm,
genial affection ; and Mollie, dear, darling Mol
lie, is the source and end of all. Would. I had
a hundred Pike's Peak fortunes to lay at her
feet, and the affection of a hundred hearts to
lavish upon her. If 'another Monte were to
contest the claim to my love she would stand
but a poer chance now, if not before.
"When you were remarkiffg concerning the
change (improvement) that had taken place in
your personal appearance, were you trying to
make me understand that you had added to
your already redundant stock of beauty? I
did not fullytake the hint then. I understand
now. Nature has surpassed herself in bestew
ing new charms when the measure is already
full—running over; and,. Mollie herself is
taken by surprise at her cei - n new excellencies.
I understand it all now, and a most effective
Way have you adopted to bring the feet to my
compreansiori; and as modest and winning
as effective. : Your beautiful picture! I have
to look at the last thing before I put out the
light at bed-time, and the first thing in the
morning. *
"If I speak warmly in your praise it is hut the
free gushing forth of uncontrolled feeling,. and
von know by experience may ring the din of
hated chiding in your ears, and make you
wish—oh, so much I it might cease. But when
I chide you, Mollie, I would rather take you in
my arms and soften the harsh accents by the
smoothing caresses of true, kind, and warm
affection, for I am not a tyrant nor a hear in
disposition; would I be the fitful cat
that utters ' her fondness in tones of winning
tenderness at one moment, and plants her
claws to the quick into her darling pet the
next; but I would bens I have professed, your
true friend, in eat:awe, asking pardon for lilt
many failings."

The Trial Yesterday.
[Special Despatch to the Press.]
WAsHINGTON, July 11.—The trial of Miss Har
ris was continued to-day. A large assemblage
of ladies and gentlemen were present,and the
ease eszeited a lively interest.. A number of
letters were read to the jury, which bliss Har
ris had received from Burroughs. They were
all affecting and loving in the extreme,
though some of them contained paragraphs,
which showed a desire on the part of the de
ceased to indulge in a love quarrel. These
letters covered a space of time from Sep
tember 15, Theo, to September 12, ISea. Two
letters, which we here Introduce, show a
villainous character on the part of the writer,
and there was some objection raised in court
in Vie mode of establishing their identity, as
they were evidently written in a disguised:
band, and signed J. P. Greenwood. Miss Dev
lin, who was well acquainted with the hand
writing of the deceased, fully identified them
however, as having been written by Din
roughs. The writer attempts to entice Miss
Harris to a noted assignation house in Chica
go. The letter reads as follows :

WASHINGTON, July llth.—The Constitutional
Union, of this afternoon, publishes au affidavit
of John P. Brophy, who says he could have it
proved, if time wire allowed, that Weichman
is and always was a coward, according tti the
words of his father ; that since the trial closed
he has admitted that he was a liar ; that a
short time before the assassination Weichman
hitroduced Atzerott to him as a particular
friend of his, and that on the same day
he and Atzerott were riding on Booth's
horses. Brophy says he can bring other
and new witnesses to testify to his
intimacy with Atzerott, that since the
trial closed Welchman told Brophy that Mrs
Siiratt Wept bitterly at the thought of Johti
going to Richmond, and implored him to re.
main at home, and not bring trouble upon him

some men where at the house Mrs. Suratt
called John, her son, aside, and said to him,
"John, I am afraid there is something going

me what you are about" Brophy asked Welch
man-if John told her, and Weichman replied
that John did not and could not tell her. since
the close of the trial Weielunau offered
to give Brophy a letter to President John
son in Mrs. Snratt's handwriting, provi
ded Brophy would keep it a profound
secret. Brophy asked Weidman to give
him a similar letter to Judge Holt, and he
replied : "No ; I will not write to him, because
libave no confidence whatever in Holt." Brophy
further says that Weichman had him summon

—THE WONDERFUL MINERAL AND. AGRICUL
TURAL RESOURCES OF THE COUNTRY—THE
CRUELTY, DEBASEMENT, AND TREACHERY OF
THE INDIANS—DISLOYALTY / FALSEHOOD, AND
UNTRUSTWORTHINESS OF THE MORMONS.
[Special Despatch to The Press.]
Wasmkarox, July IL—Speaker COLFAX, ac
companied by Lieutenant Governor Baoss, of
Illinos, lidenArensok, Of the New York Tribune,
and others, have, of course, reached Califor
nia by this time. They were at Salt Lake City
on the 12th of June. Information received
from these parties, discloses a most extraor
dinary development of mineral wealth in
the portion of the country through which
they passed, surpassing all anticipation,
and more than fulfilling• the pre
dictions of Secretary Usuen, when he re
ceived the specimens of silver, gold,
synebar, quicksilver, more than a year
ago. In fact t in reading the speech of Mr.
COLFAX, at Salt Lake City, one would suppose
that he was describing a celestial region, and
the same impression is produced by utterances
of his companions. One of the speakers pre
diets that men now aged will live to witness
the completion of the grandest of all national
enterprises—the Pacific Railroad—and that
boys who heard his voice that night would see
the Pacific slope teeming with the busy life of
hundreds of millions of people. Not the least
of the wonders described is that of the great
overland stage line, now extending through
a desert of twelve hundred miles in ex
tent. The coaches of this line abound in
personal comforts, and are driven with ra
pidity anti ease. In the course of the speech.
of Mr. COLFAx, he distinctly told the Mor
mons that all attempts to destroy the Union
had. failed; that it was to-day stronger
than ever; that treason would be punished
with prompt and terrible death; and that
the tide of emigration was coming, and
would sweep away
m all their institutions,
whether of slavery Or polygamy, thus covering
the whole of that region with the blessings of
Christianity and morality. Another fact was
proved, that the great arid wastes,which have
lain for years without water,ean be successfully
irrigated. The speaker showed that the In
dian races were unworthy"of consideration or
respect. They were loathsome, savage, disho
nest, ungrateful, and cruel—obstacles in the

A Youthful Traveller
A YOUNG GIRL ABDUCTED ny r .mm aRAND
'MOTHER—SITE IS TAKEN TO THE GOLD RE
GIONS OF MONTANA—Ran &UPPER - LNG% ESCAPE,
AND RETURN TO HER HONE IN ST. rAuL. •
[From the St. Punt Press.)
We met recently a youthful but extensive
.traveller, Miss Emily Wells, a little girl. of
eleven 3rears, who h asjust returned from Vir
ginia City, Montana Territory, atone. Her his
tory, from the time she left this State in Ma
until her return, is of the most remarkable
cha e r s a , c h t x i l_ ab n i. t e l a l c ie t r h a
e c e s
c o a u T i 3 i e t s o , f t
o t g h e r t i h l l e i

e
sufferings and privations whieli she endured,
would fill a volume.
In the spring of VA this little girl was
liv
lug with her grandmother at Shakopee, in
tins State, and when the expedition left that
place in April for the then Territory of Idaho,
she accompanied it, taking with her her , ginnct.
daughter, without the knowledge or consent
of the child's mother, who resided in this city.
Emily cannot remember much of anything
that happened during her outward trip, but
thinks that there was nothing of more than
Ordinary interest occurred. he first thing
that she remembers, with ally accuracy, isthe
death of her grandmother, which occurred in
the latter part of the December following her
arrival in Virginia City—an incident which
would be likely to leave an impression not
easily to be effaced, even on a mind so young,
as by it she was left in a wild and strange
land, without a friend or relative nearer than
'fifteen hundred miles, and that over a wild
and barren country, inhabited only by hostile
bands of Indians. Alter this incident she was
left friendless and alone, with no one to care
for her, and no means to secure the sustenance
of life. For weeks and months she was com
pelled to hunt and beg for the morsel of bread
that was to keep body and soul together.
In a new mining country, such as Montana,
the character of the inhabitants is not sup
posed to be such as would afford much relief
to suffering humanity. Indeed, from Virginia
City and its surroundings, the people who
compose its population are of the most lawless
and brutal type of human beings.
It was among such people as these, and in
Such a country, that little Emma was left, or
phaned, liOnteleSs, and friendless, cast out
upon the wOrse than cold charities of an un
feeling and unsympathizing world. It is no
wonder that she should, in her own language,
be "kicked about" as she went from house to
house begging and entreating for something
to appease her hunger.
As she wandered one day along the back
streets of Virginia City, seeking among the
filth of the street for some morsel of food to
appease her appetite, she attracted the atten
tion of a family living in the vicinity, to
whom, upon their request, She related the sad
tale of her sufferings. Her dejected appear
ance, her apparent innocence, and the, straight
forwardness with which she related her story,
touched the hearts of all these good people,
who agreed to take her in and adopt her as
one of their own family. While she remained
with her new parents her treatment was kind
in the extreme.
In April last, after she had been in t iler new
home some months, she chanced to hear of a
party of emigrants who were about to leave
Yirgmia City for the States, and having ascer
tained that by aCeallipanying this party she
could return to her home in St. Paul, and
having found out some of the party, and ob
taining their permission to go with them, she
accordingly stole away from her new protec
tors, and on the 21st day of April last bade
adieu toYirginia City.
This party consisted of about forty-live
teams,. and were about two weeks in reaching
Fort Benton, on the Upper Missouri river.
Nothing of importance occurred on their trip
to Fort Benton. When within= a day>s travel
of the fort they saw a party of three or tour
hundred Indians at a great distance, but were
not molested by them. Upon arriving at Fort
Benton, the party with ‘yhom _she had been
travelling gave up the notion of returning to
the .States, and concluded to stop at a new
place Jamb being laid out on the Upper Missouri
river, called Mont& Emily, who still fondly
cherished the idea of returning to her home,
and who accordingly declined the invitation
of her travelling companions to remain with
-them, was again left alone, and still a long
distance from her destination. As good luck
would have it, the steamer Yellow Stone had
just arrived from below, and, being about to
return, Emily was allowed to take passage on
her for St. Joseph, Mo.
The Yellow Stone was four weeks on her trip
down to St. Joseph, having laid up every night,
it being, on account of the Indians unsafe to
travel after dark. Upon arriving at'St..Toseph,
Emily took the cars for Chicago, from whence
she came to this city via La Crosse, and is now
with her mother,Mrs.Paddoek,who resides on
Pearl street.
The facts, as we have related them, are Just as
we received them from the little girl herself,
and, from the plain and simple manner in
which she told ner story, we have no doubt
whatever of its truthfulness. The history itself
is certainly one of the most remarkable on
record. That one so young and tender could
endure so much, and travel so far entirely un
protected, is certainly a miracle. She is a
smart, intelligent girl of her age, and seems
proud of the fact that she is the greatest
youthful adventurer known to history. We
were glad to See her feel so, as she certainly is
entitled to do, as a part compensation for the,
privations, hardships, and suiferinga whichshe
has Undergone. i!clay she long live tell her
trOnderful story.
Cotton in Egypt.
A correspondent of the Pall Mall Gazelle
writing from Cairo on the .28th ult., says :
I have just returned from a ten days' tour in
the villages, and send you the result of my ob
servations and inquiries on the state of the
cotton interests in Egypt, as affected by the
late reduction of price in that staple—that is
to say, by the prospective cheapening of calico
by 2(1. or 3d, a yard to the customer, and the
loss to the producers and collectors of the raw
staple in bulk. I find the portion of the crop of
1861-5 yet in the villages to be variously esti
mated from one-sixth to one-third of the whole,
though all seem to think that there cannot be
less in the villages unginned than kantars, (of
Epglish weight;) 400,000; supposed to be
held at Alexandria, 3Q01,000 ; assumed to be held
in England, for Egyptian account, 300,000;
total kantars, 1,000,0000 affected by- the fall,
and,. On an average, to the extent of
about „fa per kantar—which will repre
sent a loss, on the value of one Million
kantars, of £0,000,Q00. Add to this the corre,
lative loss to third parties of dishonored bills,
bie.,at least £1,000,000. Total anticipated loss
on Egyptian account, £6,000,000. And _I have
met more than one person of experience who
judges this to be an under-estimate. No one
who has not visited the interior of the Delta
can have any adequate idea pf the new kind
of industry which the late high prices for cot
ton have
developed. The cotton is now all
cleaned by gins, which, by the best systems,
clean live hundred pounds of cotton In twenty
four hours. In practice, great attention is re
quired at the gins, for the machinery is not
nearly so simple as one might suppose. The
fellah girls have, however, shown such apti
tude for the work, that they hardly come be
hind our own factory-girls. I was surprised to
land that they perceived at once when any
thing went wrong with the gin; and what as
tonished ree still more Was the jealonayinani
fested when one hand turned out a larger
quantity than the rest. In such cases, those who
were in arrears would often cry with vexation.
The prize of a silk kerchief, or some other arti
cle, bestowed weekly on the best worker, is the
secret of this emulation. Moreover, the wages
paid are good. At one establishment where I
remained several flays, the. girls' get fourteen
piastres per day, and the night girls sixteen
piastres (172 equalling £1). In like manner
boys of twelve years old, working as bravely
as English boys, are getting from ten to twelve
plastree a day, at work dependent on a steam
engine; and as work must go on to keep pace
with the engine, the boys won't allow their
companions tostop. I heard one lad, who was
working much harder than the other, inveigh
ing lustily against the latter in the true Orien
tal style—" There you are again, Mohammed,
behindhand, as usual—curse you!" Another
remarkably intelligent boy, who had been put
to tend an engine, had taken so kindly to the
task that he generally addressed the machine
as if it had been a favorite donkey. Grown-up
men were receiving from sixteen to thirty ,
four piastres a day, according to their skill
and kind of work. Rotwithstanding theschigh
wages, and the enormous charges by railway
for coal and the transport ofproduee to Alexan.
dria, the well-managed factories are paying
well but it Is a race in which inefficient ma
nagement is sure to be attended with loss, as
many an unfortunate man,,who imagined that
he had nothing to do but to buy an engine and
some gins, and get an engineer, bas found to
his cost. The system of, advances to the fel
lahs has become very general, and it is esti
mated that there is not less than three millions
sterling out in'the villages,
some, however, on.
loan only at high interest: The stoppage in,
the demand for cottell.has produced no little
alarm among the creditors for these advances.
Behind all this industry and development
there lurks, unfortunately, an unworthy jeal
ousy on the peat of the Government, which,
extracts labor by force without duly paying
for it ; and many are the ignoble tricks resorted
to by officials for getting clever men here and
there Mit Of the European factories. The
Viceroy has Weedy made several brnnell rail
ways by fOreed labor, varying in length from
three to thirty miles, for the sole ttwolat Of his
own estates. -

THEIR, VALUE-THEIR PROSPECTS--THE
STRIDE HUMANITY MAKES BY
THEIR SUCCESS.
The ambition of the men of to-day is vault
lug and far-reaching. Ever since our fellows
in the far-off ages strove by their ToWer of
Babel to reach the clouds, and attain heaven
without the ordPal of death, there have been
outcroppings of the same spirit, though not
manifested, perhaps, in the same way. Elixirs
have been sought after to prolong life, and set
the old skeleton-avenger, with his trenchant
scythe, at bay, and De Sotos have accom
plished actual good while searching after ac
tual impossibilities. Thousands have grown
haggard and gray, and died at last in vain al
chemy for the philosopher's stone ; but to this
class] of labors the spirit has been confined.
In our day one chief object seems to have been
to save labor—to avoid the command, " in the
sweat of thy face thou shalt eat thy bread "
to annihilate distance, and to make our
puny powers, by the aid of mind, 'most
mighty, so that no difficulties "can daunt nor
no labors tire." But it is to our efforts to con
oner space, and that earthly space, which we
now propose to consider. Beyond the earth, or
the atmosphere that surrounds it, we have no
hope to go just now. Balloons and flying ma
chines (the latter in embryo) arc the only
means of ascension we have yet discovered,
and they are yeti limited in their scope. But
we can go over the land with the swiftness of
the wind ; and steam engines on 'the water
leave" white, swelling sails far behind. We
think on the telegraph wires, and almost as
fast as imagination can speed, our thoughts
find utterance in strange sounds, thou
sands and thousands of miles away. It is
now the dream of mankind to compass the
whole world with tiny nerves, through which
will flow electric life; so that, at a single touch,
our antipodes can be summoned to speak
with us, though oceans and mountains,
and difficulties. infinite lay between. This
dream is now rapidly - finding a development in
two directions, one uniting Europe with the
New World, the other gathering in all the rest
of the nations—savage, half-eiVilized, and en
lightened—by one great, vast circuit, and con
centrating the whole world, as it were, into
one atom, or reducing all time to nought or to
the tiniest of Instants. The great Atlantic
Ocean, though it forever physically divides
the great hemispheres, is to be annihilated by
Mind, through its passive yet powerfulinstru
ment—tde "Cable"—while all the great
reaches of country which spread from San
Francisco to Yeddo, and from YeddO to Moscow
and London, with all their various conforma
tions and climates, will be traversed in an in
stant by the Bebring's Strait and Russian Over
land .Telegraph.
This enterprise has fora long while been on
foot, and this is the second attempt made by
those who have it in hand to accomplish it;
and, from present appearances, they will be
rewarded with better fortune than that which
met their first endeavor. Experience has
taught them many valuable things, of which
they appear to be taking the largest advant
age. The Great Eastern, for many weeks past
fitig — been reneivimr_the.2,97o miles of cable, ;
and, Providence permitting;ll-is announced
that she will leave Valentin Bay, Ireland, for
Heart's Content Ray, on the Canada coast, on
or about the 18th inst.
In this connection it may be interesting •to
go back "to the first attempts at laying the
cable, in June and July, 1858, so that it may be
seen what the directors have learned, and
what is yet to be feared from the perils and
vagaries Of the sea. Such accounts lead to a
short history of the early days of the Atlantic
cable. After a considerable time spent in the
manufacture, it was shipped on board the
United States frigate Niagara and her Majes
ty's frigate Agamemnon; in April and May,
1858. It was 2,790 miles in length-1,395 miles
(or half) on each vessel. After an ex
verimentary trip, lasting about four days,
the vessels, accompanied by tenders, left
Plymouth on the 10th of June, 1958, sailing for
lat. 52 12 N., and long. 33 18 W., in about mid
ocean, where the depth was about one thou
sand fathoms, and it was considered proper to
begin the risky experiment, During the whole
voyage out very bad weather was experienced,
so that it required sixteen days to reach the
point above mentioned. On the 25th it was
reached, and an attempt was made to splice
the cable, but it failed because of the tar
bulenee of the elements, which broke it
after two and a half miles had been paid
out. On the 20th a second attempt was
made; but when forty miles had been paid
out it snapped a second time. On the
28th connection was recovered, but only
to be lost again. The commanders of the two
ships had agreed that when communication
was thoroughly lost, when they had separated
more than a hundred miles from each other,
both should return to QueenStOwn. This was
done, the Niagara arriving at that pOrt on the
9th and the Agamemnon on the 12th of July.
The prospect of inter-continental wire was a
very gloomy one. We, here on the Atlantic
side, were waitingand growling for the arrival
of what we called the "telegraph fleet" at Tri
nity Bay. There were not wanting persons who
insisted that the fate of the two frigates was
• like that of the lost "President. and "City
of Glasgow "—gone from port to founder,
"and none to tell the tale." Weeks and
weeks wo waited, until the Persia arrived,
with the news that the "telegraph fleet" was
at Queenstown. Now, of course, the whole
scheme of a telegraph 2,400 miles under
water, was pronounced a failure in the minds
of the unadventurous and doubting, But the
projectors. Or the line, and Cyrus W. Field,
their manager, whose reputation depended
on success, and whose heart yearned for it,
Was not discouraged. A meeting of the direct
ors of the company was held, and it was de
cided that the work must go on, even while
in the English Parliament, Mr. Disraeli
launched fierce diatribes against the Whole
scheme, and the London Times decried the
Agamemnon as totally unfit for the pur
pose, suggesting the Great Eastern, which
had then just been built, as . the fittest
vessel for the purpose. But suggestions,
condemnations, and warnings were not lis
tened to. Dope and glory were before
those immediately interested, if the cable was
laid,' and continued in successful operation.
On the 12th of July, 1858, the steamers, with
the same tenders, the Valorous and Gorgon,
both British vesselS, Went out again over the
deep—this time destined to better success.
There were for many days the same croakings
at the non-arrival of the "fleet," and day after
day (as readers of good memories will remem
ber) there came despatches to the daily press
giving the state of the weather, always end
ing with the stereotyped phrase: "No signs of
the telegraph Rect." . But at last it did arrive.
There was no war, in the land then. People
were suifceptible,to.excitements, and went into

of Coiling and storing it. Besides these it had
been made levident that one ship was better
than two, and Dlr. DisraelPs advice, grudging
ly as it was given, and' The fames , advice,
ill
- as was its birth t was adopted. The
Great Eastern was chartered for the second
and perhaps the final experiment, either for
failure or success. But experience taught still
another and quite as important a fact as any of
the others. It was discovered by. an examina
lion of the togs of the Cunard and other steam.:
c-rs constantly plying the Atlantic, that there
was one day of gales hi every seven days of
the month of June ; one day of - gales in every
twenty-live of the month of July, and one in
every nine of the month of August. Every
fact gained was of great value in a second layer •
ing of• the cable:
THE PRESENT EXPERIXENT.
For the reason last given ' July was chosen
as the month for the present experiment, and,
as has Pmen stated in our preface, the Great
Eastern is expected to leave Valentia Bay on or
about the 18th inst., (next Tuesday,) although
reasons may be found for despatching her
earlier. She has already left the Medway,
wheie she has been taking in the cable, steam
being applied to her engines for the first time
in a year.
An English eorleshohdentthhs describes her
departure;
" The irmrkense vessel, piloted by the Govern
ment surveying steamer Porcupine, moved
cautiously and slowly along the channel, being
readily steered and perfectly under centre;
and passed down by Garrison's Point and the
Nore light, and came to an anchor five miles
below, at a spot where she will have at least
seven , fathoms of water at the lowest tides.
Iler draught of water aft, on leaving the Med
way, was something less than thirty-four feet,-
and as she had yet upwards of one thousand
lons of coal to take on board, it was thought
unsafe to complete her preparations in the
comparatively shallow river, where she might
ground on attempting to jrrOceed to sea, and
her removal to the ;point. above alluded
to was wisely determined upon. She will
also swing at her anchors 'here with safety.
On her passage to her present anchorage she
pawed the Navy Yard at Sheerness, and was
saluted be the cheers of the crews of the men
of-war lying there, who manned the rigging
and gave vent to their enthusiasm in wild
voeiferations. The marines on board the line
of-battle-ship Formidable, eighty, presented
arms as the great ship glided by, and the band
on the Cumberland, seventy-tour, struck up
"Rule Britannia," and then " Bail Columbia,"
which honors were recognized hi the caste
mary manlier by the Great Eastern."
THE VOYAGE OVER THE SEA.
The great ship will not come any nearer
than twenty-four miles of the shore, where
she will be met by a steamer from Valentia
Bay. Her cable and that of the steamer, which
is somewhat less in diameter and weight, will
here be spliced, and the Leviathan will then
proceed on her way. It is well understood
that with such an immense amount of iron in
herhold, her compasses would be materially
affected. Such is the case, but she has two
convoys, the British ships of war Terrible and
Sphynx, who will act as guides for her over
her long course. It is expected that the cable
will be laid at the rate of six miles an hour,
no marine difficulty of ordinary character
being expected, as she is furnished with all
tb o appliance, such as day,
night, and fog signals, ete., the heSt - yet de
vised, None.of the dangers that are ordinari
ly to be feared from the dangers of the sea,
needbe feared, as the statistics of twenty-seven
years, the results of which we give above, show
that storms are few in July.
The laying of the short cable in Valentia
Bay, it is announced by the English journals,
will be the occasion of a grand meeting, at
which the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, and
many of the notabilities, nobles, and others
will assist. The occasion is in itself impor
tant, for it is the laying of twenty-four miles
of cable, almost as long as that over the biedi
terranean, even if it "pales its ineffectual
rays" before the vast work of binding the
shores of America with the shores of Europe,
The work is expected to be done about the .
4th of August, although there are many con
tingencies which may hasten or retard it.
Every preparation has been made to complete
it as fast as possible. Powerful batteries,
OR board the Great Eastern, are provided,
so that constant communication may be
kept up between the ship and the °lnce of
the company, in London. If the current
fails at any time it is intended to underrun
the cable, which is so strong as to bear an im
mense amount of its own weight, until
either the break or the electrical defect is dis-
Coveted. If the diElculty is the latter, there
are means provided to remedy it M a short
space of time. A break, of course, could not
be remedied. There is every prospect of its
success. Experience, scientific research, even
the elements are in its favor, and what more

THE HERRING'S STRAITS AND ASIATIC-RUSSIAN.
While the Atlantic line is attracting Bitch a
large share •of attention, and. absorbing so
many thoughts and hopes, there is another
line which subserves the saniepurposes, but
is trained. overland. This line is called the
" Behring's Straits and Asiatic-Russian line. ,,
The.project was originated by Perry McDowell
Collins, Esq., a commercial agent of ours on
the Amoor River, who memorialized Congress,
in Med, for an appropriation to make, an ex
ploration of this route, and has.met the•WArat
est approval of our Governinent. Its intent
will be learndll from an extract of a circular
letter from Mr. Seward to "the diplomatic
officers of the United States in South America."
He says : ,
" The memorial of Mr. Collins was reported
on'favorably by the Committee of the House
of Representatives, to whom it was referred,
and subsequently in RV; recseived the, sane
tion of the Committee on Military Affairs of
the Senate. In both eases bill were, presented
providing an adequate appropriation to carry
out the views of the petitioner, upon which,
however, at that time, Congress did not deem
it expedient to take 'final action, In the mean
time Mr. Collins, with perseverance and ener
gy well befitting that, clear sagacity which
ener
gy
suggested the work, urged its considera
tion upon the Government's of ,Russia and Great
Britain, whose territories the projected line
would traverse, and whose consent and co-op
eration were, , therefore,necessary to its
success. His proposal.. Was countenanced
and encouraged by spcial grants. He has
been authorized. by her Britannic Ma
jesty's
. Government to construct a line
of telegraph across the Province of British Co-,
lumbia, and from the Imperial Government of
Russia not only obtained a similar privilege,
covering the ground' from the Mouth of the .
Amcor River to the frontier of the Russian
possessionS in America. but a stipulation on
their part also to construct, upon certain COn-
Aitions, a continuous line of telegraph con
necting the European system with the Pacific .
Ocean, In view of ,the grants, and in
.con
sideration of the benefits to result to us, as a .
great commercial nation, from the completion
of a telegraphic, circuit, embracing the East
ern and Western. CoetentS Mr. Collins re
newed his petition m n
to the I:ongress of; the
United Stittes during its recent session, and
an act was Accordingly passed authorizing a.

it will obviate to a considerable extent the in

that every event of importance will bo in

will assist the police In detecting and tracing

With these remarks, we conclude our view
of. the two great enterprises of the ago.
Slaveholding Depravity..
. •
Edwin Chadwick writes to the London Daily
News:
"In 1844, whilst paying a visit of sanitary
in
speetion to Sheffield, I went over the cutlers ,
workshops, when in one.of them my attention
was arrested by a displaypf strange weapons
iu course of matitifeeture..daggets neatly
as large as short Roman swords.. These
weapons were inscribed with the words
i
in large characters, 'Death to Abolition. ,
There was a characteristic malignant cun
ning in the use of the abstract word

stalled for the Abolitionists. I was told they
wWili bowie-knives, made to order for the
American market,Where they had a large sale.
This was, be it noted, at a time when the North
Apieriertag were generally reproached in this
country for their quiet. aegaleseenee in the
extension, as well as the existence of slavery,
and when the institution was unmenaced
anywhere in the States. I expressed useless
reprobation of the scandalous manufacture,
but 1 purchased two of the weapons as curt
osities, and presented one of them to my
friend, the late Rev. Sidney Smith, to servo
as a sort of commentary on the barbarous
conditions of society—on which he had
recently made some animadversions—denoted
by the ostentatious sale and display of such
weapons for the maintenance of slavery, Such
weapons, probably of that same Sheffield ma
nufacture, have been habitually used—not
merely in vulgar brawls, but have been drawn
and Bashed—and I was told in one Instance
had been used fatally—by representative
Southern men in the highest assemblies; in

reprobation, but with the like wide public ap.

civilization. Happily for the world, it is the
lower order which in the attempt to found an
empire on the barbarous basis of slavery, has
sustained a decided and irretrievable defeat,"
"I am, &C., E. C."
Not Cured Yet
A Nashville correspondent, who recently
had a conversation with an influential citizen
of Tennessee, writes as follows;
I asked him if he felt willing to tell me
frankly what he thought of the future of
slavery in Tennessee?
" Certainly" he replied, "I have no conceal
ment to make upon. that or any other public
question."
"Do you believe there is any possible pros
pect for its restoration in this State?" I in
qu Wed ,
"That," said he, this Still an open question.
I consider it no more settled that we shall not
again have slavery in Tennessee than it is wile ,
tiler the institution shall be abolished in Ken
tucky,"
"Is there any considerable number of the
people who would favor such restoration?"
" A large Majority would, if all were allowed
to ex - press themselves."
"Would you?"
"Unquestionably, I would."
" lint as your amended Constitution forever
prohibits it, Why is not the question settled 1"
" Why," taw - the, "even a. legal Constitution
is not a finality and, Of. bourse, sremare aware
that many of us regard the March amend
ments to the Constitution of Tennessee as
utterly illegal and void. Were it not for the
presence of military force, the matter would
have been brought, ore this,lmformthe courts,
and I doubt not their decision would have
confirmed our opinion."
" But," said 1, 7, even if the courts should de
ciae. as you say, would it not be impossible to
restore the institution, on account of the re
sistance which the blacks would everywhere
Make to RV
"Of course," he replied, " We could not rein.
state our authority Immediately over the
whole of them, ilierhaps not over one-half of
them. But there are many sections of the
State' where the blacks are not aware that
slavery has been abolished at all, Some of
those sections are M West Tennessee, where
the colored population is most nutnerous. In
other quarters there are many families which
the blacks have never attempted to leave, and
where the quiet resumption of the master's
authority would be at once aketittioBoll4
Gradually all resistance would cease, anti the
colored people, in many eases disgusted with
their new-found freedom, so different from
what they anticipated, would voluntarily re
turn to bondage, or accept as destiny what
they could easily be persuaded was unavoida
ble. What it required a great army to destroy,
can easily be restored by the people, when that
army is removed."
