Important Intelligence. The Atlantic Telegraph Cable Success, fully Laid and Working Perfectly. DISPATCH PHOU CtRVB W. FIELD. TsiNixy Bax, Aug. 5, IBSS. To the Associated Press, New . The Atlantic Telegraph fleet- sailed from Queenstown bn Saturday, July IT, met at mid-ocean, on Wednesday, (he 28th, made the splice at 1 p. m. on Thursday, the 29ih, and then separated, the Agamemnon and Valorous bound lo Valentis, Ireland, and (he Niagara and Gorgon for this place, where they strived 'yesterday, and this morning the end of the cable will be landed. It is 1,698 nautical, or 1,950 statute miles from the telegraph house at the head of Vulenlh Harbor lo the telegraph bouse, Bay o( Bulls, Trinity Bay, and for more than two thirds this distance the water is over two miles in depth. The cable has been paid but from the Agamemnon at about the same speed as from the Niagara. The electrical signals sent and received through the whole cable are perfect. The machinery for paying out the cable worked in the most satisfactory manner, and was not stopped for a single moment from the lime the splice was made until we arrived here. Capt. Hudson, Messrs. Everett and Wood, house, the engineers, the electricians and officers of the ships, and in fact every man man on board the Telegraph fleet, has ex erted himself lo the utmost to make the ex pedition successful, and, by the blessing of Divine Providence, it has succeeded. After the end of the cable is landed and connected with ihe land line of telegraph, and Ihe Niagara has discharged some cargo belonging to ihe Telegraph Company, she will go lo Si. John’s for coals and then pro ceed ai once to Netv-York. Eater. ABSOLUTE SUCCESS OF THE CABLE. Tjixkity Bay, N. F., Aug. 7, 1858, The complete success of the Atlantic cable is placed beyond all doubt. Signalsare now being made through the whole extent of the cable, but it is unlikely that the cable will be opened for business for several days, or per haps weeks, as the electricians will require time for a series of experiments with their recording instruments. Due notice will be given of the opening of (he line for business. THE CABLE LANDED AT VALENTIA BAY. The Atlantic Telegraph Cable was sue cossfully landed here yesterday morning, and is in perfect order. The Agamemnon has landed her end of the cable, and we are now receiving signals from the Telegraph House at Valentia. The United Slates steamer Niagara, and H. B. M. steamers Gorgon and Porcupine, leave here for St. John’s to-morrow. Due notice will be given when the Atlantic Telegraph will be open for public business. Cykds W. Field. The Kansas Election. St. Louis, Saturday, Aug. 7, 1858. Leavenworth advices of the 4th have been received per express lo Booneville on the7th. Complete returns of Leavenworth County give a majority against the bill. Partial returns from ShawSnee, Johnson and Franklin Counties increase the majority against the bill to 4,704. The total vole of these counties, as receiled, is 6,846'. It is thought the whole vole of the Territory will reach 13,000, and the opponents of the bill claim a majority of 9,000. Topeka cast 246 voles against the bill, and 10 for it. Le compton gave 122 against the bill, and 27 for it. Nothing has yet been received from the southern find western counties. A Catalogue op Accidents. —An array of accidents as unaccountable in their causes as they are terrible and devastating occurred in De Ruyler, last Sabbath. Indeed we never heard of such a singular succession of serious accidents. The facts, as near as we can gather them, are these: As Mr. Hunt and wife were riding home in a two-horse carriage from the Quaker meeting at the Basin, in the company of sev eral other teams, the pole of the wagon gave way, just before reaching the bridge leading into the village, which frightened the horses, rendering them unmanageable, throwing Mr. and Mrs. Hunt headlong into the street.— They then ran into the carriage of Mr, Ephraim Arnold, in which Mr. Arnold and his wife were, and overthrew that, when both teams went with headlong speed into the ) village. Mr. Bogardus andi daughter, who were in i a carriage in front of the Post-Office, were jumpeu up on by one of the teams and entirely crushed, injuring severely Mr. Bogardus and daughter. . Here, in a few minutes, were three car riages smashed, six persons rendered sense less and severely wounded, and the road strewed with the wreck of. carriages. It is a wonder that the persons were not killed. Mr, Hunt nod wife are very dangerously injured, and all were carried insensible to where medical assistance could be procured. —Hamiltpn Republican. In the finance branch of tho General Post Office, lbe work of opening the dead letters for tho quarter has just closed. From the innumerable number of bogus communica tions, or other causes, it will be perceived that the number of letters containing money or other articles of value is more than doubled within the year. Each and all of these letters are registered, showing the date of receipt, the name of the writer, that of the parly addressed, place where mailed from, where now to be sent, and a description of the contents, sending off by the mails of every day, so that full nine-tenths of all the money have been already returned to its rightful owners. The returns show the fol. lowing exhibit : Quarter ending June 30th, 1857, there were 2.245 letters of value found, covering $12,655.51 ; quarter ending Sept. 20, 1857. 2,352 letters, and $13,361.90; quarter ending December 81, 1857, 2,472 letters, and $13,457; and for quarter ending March 31, 1858,4,540 letters,and $21,408, Total for the whole year, $60,072.41, THE AGITATOR. m.

Cybus W. Field, Everybody has read of the stupid Gascon peasant who was set lo keep the flies from his mistress’s pan of cream, and wbo, in order to save it, found it necessary to drink the precious nectar. The unu sual crop of flics this summer keeps the dilemma of the luckless Gascon ever in mind. One must eat nowadays with the Book of Job in one hand and a a pea-brush in the other. Can some of our eubscri bers suggest a “ certain cure” for flies ? A correspondenUnquires if there is any “ nigger” in the questions to be decided by the vote for county officers. We reply that there is—-and will be, so long as the Democratic party offers premium for that species of properly.

Blair, can. didate for Congress in the St. Louis district, Miss, ouri ? Mr. Blair was in favor of making Missouri a Free State,—lhal’s all. Why do they rejoice at his defeat? Because they are pro slavery. For the candid opinion of the editor of the Hones dale Democrat, touching the duty of men in certain emergencies, we have as great regard as for that of any other man. Ills estimates of men and meas ures ere, generally, just. It may be, too, that his view of our position on the question of creeds and platforms is correct. We did enter the arena of ac tive life, as he affirms, with a. pretty thorough con tempt for arbitrary standards ol authority; not so, however, were we educated—for rigid Puritanism did its best to shape our thinking alter its own nar row fashion. Under sucli circumstances, once es caped from chafing bonds, it would not be very sur prising if one bounced lo the other extreme of be lief. It may be, likewise, as he says, that we have traveled by a circuitous route back to the place of setting out, or farther than that, as he seems lo be lieve. Still, we do not by any means bow the knee to any arbitrary standards of authority. That which appeals to the rational convictions as Heaven’s truth revealed to Man, we accept as authority; (or, if it be truth to-day, it will be true to-morrow, next day, next year and The crude inventions of men have no weight with us—they do not swerve os one inch in faith, or practice. But we have changed,somewhat, as our brother truly says; and the change, was never fully obvious to our vision un til we had well considered his fraternal lecture. It is true, then, that we are nearing a position conser vative to that occupied seven yeare ago, yet radical as contrasted with the timid conservatism ot the world. The change has been imperceptible, because gradual, and normal from the same cause. We ac cept the delicate irony which gives piquancy lo his allusion to the leaven of philosophic meditation en tering into our riper years. It is kindly meant and as kindly received. It is well lo heed the teachings which “ hobble lo os on antithesis,” or flash from the keen blade of Satire. Let that pass. Our Honesdalc coteraporary is not more intoler ant of arbitrary platforms than are we. He val ues them at very little worth. Our valuation of such tilings depends upon the materials of which they are constructed. He reverences the truths which be gem the Declaration of Independence; so do tve. Yet that document is but a platform after all—the platform upon which the sturdy Republicans of *76 stood during the fateful struggle which gave us a place among nations. He will reply that our lathers abode by the great truths embodied therein. True, —but would their repudiation of those principles have rendered them less precious, less to be venera. ted 7 It will not be claimed. Had its framers, ev. ery one, proved traitors to that platform, still it would hare proved a guiding star lo the troubled nations. It weighs not a feather, then, against platforms, that parlies make them only to violate the pledges made to the people therein. It matters not if the so-called democratic parly have made a platform ev ery four years for near half a century only to repu diate them, one and all, in administering the Gov* eminent. That is to us'no argument against plat* forms. It is a living, a stern witness against the corruptions of political parlies surfeited with sue* cess. We honor that party, demoralized as it is, as rotten as it is and infidel to the precepts of its foun der as it certainly is this day—we honor il fur suff ering no opportunity to put itself upon record to cs* cape.

All wo ask is, (hat the Republican party shall, at all times and in all places, reassert tha cardinal doctrines of the Philadelphia Plidforui, and in addi tion, bear witness against that most unrighteous De. cision uribe Dred 'Scott Case, These are the oat works of the Democratic parly and must he carried first. The Kansas policy of the Administration is, collateral to the main line of its defences. It en .trenches itself behind Popular Sovereignty and the outrageous usurpations of -the Federal, Judiciary; and thus protected it is enabled to harass the liber ties of Kansas. Weask that the,RepubUcan col-, umn be led against the plain towers of the enemy’s, strength. We must'storm the defences before* those batteries,can be.silenced.- -The enetoy mbit be dislodged. Shall we accomplish that wofk by dodging the question! We do not think so. But we make no war open those of out brethren who think differently. We ask to be permitted to fight the battle, with proved weapons, remaining a calm spectator,during the trial of this experiment. There will be no folding of the bands with ns, no rash and obstinate resistance to the honestly planned if unwise effort of the party to overthrow this un principled Administration. Overthrow it if you can, —but we have no faith in the foundation on which the promised structure of Success is to be reared. Count us neutral. Our neighbor of the Vedette cannot-be serious in saying that we determined lo oppose tbe nomina tions of Xbe State.Convenlion in advance; because we over and over again declared that we cared not life' loss of a copper for Ihe make-up of the Conven_ tioa woald it but (put itselt right on the record a s uncompromisingly hostile to slavery extension and the Bred Scott Decision. That we had no faith in its intention to do so much is true, and we made no secret of this unbelief. As to what we expect to gain by oar coarse, friend Jones, we answer: Of what men call glory, none; pecuniarily, nothing; reputation with the leaders of political parties, none. We expect to gain strength to live and so acquit us of life’s stern duly as that the hour so dreaded by mankind may prove the happiest oi all. As to what the Republican party will gain by this course—that has not entered into our calculation. We love Liberty belter than it is possible to love a party. Like Mark Antony, we place Rome high above the man, Ctesar. The welfare of every cause rests upon the unvarying straillorwardncss of its ad vocates. With some, politics may be deemed a trade. We are not of them. A word at parting: Oar hands are voluntarily lied. We do not intend to unloose them except in self-defence; and it docs not, trotn our stand point, appear in the light of good policy on the part of our colemporarica lo say aught that can drive ns from tlie defensive to the offensive. Criticise, censure, blame—mildly, or severely—we care not which; but do us the favor not lo make out a worse case against us than the facts warrant. It is unnecessary—tbe plain, unvarnished facts are sufficient. The Monlrose Republican may rest assured that should we become convinced that duty lies in an ac tive and energetic support of the State ticket, that moment will find us armed and equipped for the dis charge of that duty. We have no false pride to prevent us from yielding oar opinions when con science commands the relinquishment ot the posi tion we have taken. Is it necessary /or us 4 10 re peat that our opposition, to that platform is the re. auk of deliberate convictions of duty ? that wc have no' personal ambition to gratify, no ax to grind and no desire to lose the good opinions of our brethren of the press? The fact that The Agitator stands alone in its protest against lowering the colors run np in 186(7even by implication, while it does not shake our convictions or weaken our determination to do rights still moves us to regret, bitterly, jthc reliccncy of the Republican Press in this Slate. No, —wc find no sop of self-gratukiion in the fact that we stand alone ; but there is alway present a consciousness of acting right, and that will sustain us. We proposed to discuss this matter no more— it is better to w agree to disagree” and leave lime to solve the problem—“ Who is right?” The Republican will be good enough to believe* that while we prefer to abide by the decision of pri vale judgment we by no means intend to impugn the motives of the overwhelming odds against us. Ptc-Nics.—We had the pleasure of attending a pleasant gathering of this nature, near the Adams School House, Charleston, last Saturday week. It was a gathering of old and young and certainly one of the finest of its kind. Short and appropriate addresses to the children were made by Rev. J. F. Calkins, Dr. Webb and others; after which, oil re paired to the feast of sweet things. The table was neatly and tastefully arranged and ample justice was meted out to the edibles. Last Saturday we had the happiness to be present at a similar gathering near the Heise School House, Delroar, The day was fine and everything gave promise of more than usual enjoyment. The chil dren were feelingly and appropriately addressed by Rev. A, A. Marple, Dr. Webb and others. The arrangement of the table elicited much favorable comment on all hands and the viands disappeared in a manner highly complimentary to the cooks. The presence of Che Wellsboro Band contributed greatly to the enjoyment of the occasion. How much more rational these pleasant gather ings than those which prevailed ten years since ! Then, holidays were few and widely separated and usually rendered conspicuous by riot and excess. The character of society is changing for the belter, amusements ate becoming more rational and refined. We trust that these occasions may be increased .rather than diminished. The Atlantic Telegraph. —Our quid town was aroused into a stale of feverish excitement last Sat* urda; on receipt of the unexpected news that the Atlantic Telegraph cable had been successfully laid. The excitement spared none—every eye brightened and every'6cart beat a little quicker. It is the' raost notable event of the age.

Perhaps the annunciation with which the Christian Era was ushered in is now to be verified: “ Peace on Eaktb and Good-Will to Men 1" Perhaps the pulsations of the tree heart of America may throb along that electric highway and so leaven the hearts of Europe’s rulers that they shall make haste to let (heir people go, Man cannot Comprehend the forcea, add therefore cannot grasp the possible results of this new bond of anion. The fact that a man will be enabled to sit down in Paris and hold instantaneous converse with his friend in New York is marvelous, indeed; yet this may be considered as among the least Important of the probable resnlta of this wondrous achievement. The interests of widely separated nations will; in a good degree, become' mutnslized, and the baser ri- valries which new. degrade the world's commerce into a system of legalized rascality, will die a natn. rat death. Should communication be successfully established and maintained, the danger of hostile collision between the continents will be materially .lessened; since hostility, under such circumstances, weald assume its worst dreaded form, civil war.

Courier and Enquirer gives ihe following narrative of the descent of Green the diver to the Atlantic, lying at'the boliom of Lake Erie, , Poor Green ! his dar ing was too severely punished : Not many months since, a vessel was lost in water • whose depth at the place of foun dering was about 174 feel. There was a portion of the cargo so valuable that it be came advisable lo use every effort to recover it. It was scarcely possible lo do anything. It was lar beyond all ordinary means of hu man action; it might be reached, though it would be a bold attempt, by the diver. He was sought and found, and a recompense, which on land would be a princely one, was guaranteed to him. Men will do more than “does become a man” for rich reward. To feed him with air, a powerful pump, worked by six men, was brought, and a hose doubly strengthened was made. All the appliances that the most liberal management could sug gesl were ready for his aid. Ha was sur rounded by intelligence and courage and hu manity. He dared the deep water once, twice,seven times. The men at the break of the air pump wrought with the might of earnest strength. They fed the vital current to the bold diver, and he had the courage to,trust them. Their work was his breath. When became up, he told the gentleman that superintended the trial, that the air at that depth, as the ma chine forced it to him, cracked and hissed like the frying of hot fat, and that every movement of the pump fell on his breast like the blow of the crowbar! You go down no more for me, said the kind hearted gentleman who stood by him, as he came on deck. In the intensity of all his experience, this too daring man besought foi the opportunity,for another trial. The gentleman refused, but the diver insisted on going for himself. He went, and returned a paralyzed man, and just holding life, now crawls along. The claret bottle at h.s girdle, corked tightly and empty, was filled when he came back, though the cork was'not disturbed. The water had forced itself beyond power of cork. An Interesting Discovery. We see it staled upon what may be con sidered reliable authority, that thirty thousand Christians have recently been found up on an island norih of Celebes: it has been ru mored for a lime, that there was a Christian people, forgotten and forsaken, which, how ever, yet possessed three Bibles, and contin ued steadfast in the faith. When missiona ries first landed on the island, they met with a school teacher and his pupils, who repealed in the Malayan longue, “As the heart panlelh after the water-brooks, so panielh my soul after Thee, O Lord.” No Bibles were found, but ihe most pre cious promises of (he Bible written upon the bark of trees. They knew the Apostles’ Creed, and the Heidelburg Calechism, and had Christian customs. Twenty churches and schools yet existed. Through the in strumentality of Pastor Heldring, founder of the Magdalen Asylum at Steenback, and chief patron of Inner Missions in Holland, four missionaries, who had been educated under lhq( venerable- Gusner, were sent out, and ihree.'thousand persons baptized. This is - certainly a most interesting dis covery. The island on which these Chris tians were found belongs (o (he East Indian Archipelago. The Dutch have for years had political rule in this region. This may account for the original introduction of Chris lianily among this people, and for the fact that ihe Heidelburg Calechism was still found in their possession. But slid ihe parlicular time and circumstances in which this inlro duction took place may well challenge special attention, and elicit invesligalion from those who have the leisure and facilities for prose-' culing it. —German Reformed Messenger. Rail Road Romance. —For tlie following slory ihe Harrisburg Herald is responsible: One of the employees on the Pennsylvania Railroad informs us of a singular adventure which occurred on the passenger train of cars coming into this place on Salurday eve nrng last. In one of iho cars n young gen tleman was sealed, apparently deeply occu pied m reading a book he held in his hand, unlil he reached Lancaster. At that place a very handsome young,lady entered the cars and look a seal opposite him. Before she had been long in the train (he eyes of both met, and they recognized one another as old acquaintances when young, having been sep arated by ibeir parents moving span—those of one to the Westland of the oilier to Phil adelphia. The two soon became wrapt in earnest conversation, fell ardently in love with one another, and by the lime they ar rived in our borough had resolved to be uni led ns man and wife and'travel to the lady’s home together. Accordingly when the train arrived here they took lodgings at a hotel, sent for a minister, and were united in Iho bonds of connubial bliss, and taking the next train were offon their bridal tour.

A Word.for those who hate Sla> " ‘ (very Agitation. ~lt "wiirbe]remembered that the lower house of the thirty-fourth Congress was in the hands of the opposition! The Republicans consti tuting the greater pari of that opposition, of course, put the faith of. the democracy which ruled in the Senate and Cabinet to many, se vere tests, and thus exposed many acts and 'design#which the administration was desir ous of. concealing. Especially was this true with' regard io the Kansas policy of Pierce, Douglas & Co., and the execution of .the “Nebraska-Bill” in general. In this they even went so far as to send a special commit tee to Kansas, to investigate the practical workings of “popular sovereignty,” much to the discomfiture pf its authors. Such a course as this gained for the Republicans the names of “agitators,” “freedom shriekers,” “negro worshippers,” and other epithets of like character, which were made the special subjects of ridicule in bar-room circles and gambling’saloons, whet ej bad whiskey and bad democracy were about equally visible. It was indeed, laughable, and pot at all un common dirring the campaign of ’56, to meet with some dozen or fifteen'of the “democra cy” having a mutual rejoicing over this or that triumph of the “parly” at some election where voles could be obtained for money or liquor. But when reminded that ihe Bepub-. heaps were having a good time in Congres, ihe expression of their jubilant countenances would suddenly change to.a look o( Pharisai cal gravity, and with one|simultaneous bach analian howl, they woultfj invoke eternal an athemas upon the “cursed (black republicans;” exclaiming with pitiful accents and saint like meekness, “01 when will these ‘fanatical black’ republicans let ‘lillje Doug’ and ‘poor Pierce’ alone, and stop harping upon ‘bleed ing Kansas,’ so that our|‘ Congressmen can attend to business of mor.e importance to the public welfare, and morel beneficial to the Union.” il Well, of course, no sound-minded man paid any attention to sucli’silly mimicry, and so the work of investigation went on in Con gress until many rich ; (developments were brought toaligbt, and all parlies had lo show, their redl colors. At letjgth Congress ad journed, and the presidential campaign was renewed with increased vigor. By misrepre sentation and fraud, but more by stolid igno rance, the self-styled democracy succeeded in carrying the election, and securing a ma jority in the thirty-fifth Congress. That Con gress has recently closed its first session, and the historian has set himself down lo re cord the evil and the gobjjof its acts. The evil is everywhere visible, but where shall we look lor the good ? On what page of the “journal” shall we look for those acts of so much importance to 'the]public welfare?— where for those that wens lo harmonize the union? What principles,(have been settled, or what difficulties adjusted? What has been done to pacify an outraged people, or to si ill the fiery waves of slavery agitation?— What measure has been (pfiered for peace, that did not rouse every feeling of haired in the hearts of the people.- and plunge the country into worse agitation than it sought lo end ? It will be well to consider these ques tions candidly, before any "more glorification is had about the “non-agitgiing democracy.” The country may as wefj look to hell for happiness as to the sham “democracy” for peace. The last session of Congress has been ihe constant scene of agitationf.turmoil and strife. The slave “democracy’’- from - the outset sought to carry all questions by party;feeling alone without regard to thd constitution of our country, or the rights of qur people. Find ing themselves foiled imjhis ailempt, they immediately rallied underflhe black flag of disunion ; intending to frighten the timid into submission, and to proscribe as llrattors all who would not follow llieir’treasonable course. Never in the history of ib[e civilized world, have we been called upon to witness such deep degradation ! —such .unqualified prosti lulion of principle to crimd;! —such utter neg-' lect of duly, and non-ful'filment of sacred pledges! If “bleeding Kansas” was an un-i necessary excitement, as[j the “democrats”' asserted, why did they not [dispense with all action upon it, and thus evade that agitation so dangerous to the peace' of the country, and so disastrous to themselves as a party, and which they solemnly pledged themselves to suppress. They had jj the management of all the important committees in both houses of Congress, with all the opportunities to avoid it, and with ample lime for pj-emedita lion, they plunged the coutilry into the most violent agitation, which shqok the foundation of the Republic to the veryjjcentre. The on ly remedy (hey have prescribed for “bleeding Kansas” has only aggravated the disease, and served to give it a Ibngetjlrun. And when nothing else would avail j(o give stamina to their current they have not scrupled to raise ihe shabieful cry of dis union, and to resuscitate their falling fortunes by subverting the constitution.! And yet this is the same party that in ! 3<x accused Repub licans of trying to “dissolve the union,” and of keeping up “agilaiion.’l|L O ! consistency, indeed thou art a jewel J [Especially when applied to politics for theqilurpose of keeping down “agitation.” i[ V.
