Tiie Atlantic Cable. A STATEMENT PROM THE CHIEF ELECTRICIAN AT TRINITY BAY. Tbinxtv Bay, N. F., Aug. 14,1858, The cause of our not transmitting and re ceiving ! intelligence through, is, that the in struments require a great deal of.care and adjusting in getting them ready. I ajm doing this as fast as it is possible. You should not look upon..the cable as an ordinary short telegraph' line that can be worked through directly. The. cable has been successfully laid, and telegraphic signals are passed through it at oyr pleasure, but we have en countered many little difficulties which it re quired lime and many experiments to entirely overcome; but we see no reason to doubt that we shall be able within a few days to surmount all difficulties. I will send you the earliest intimation of the probable time when the Queen’s message may be expected. Senator Bigler. —Our excellent United States Senator, Mr. Bigler, is “illuminating" a pan of this Stale on the subject of Lecomp tpn —a dark subject at best, and one not capa ble of being made much clearer by his most linrt|ping logic. We can sympathise with a Representative who goes out to defend himself against ordinary accusations; but it is the height of impertinence for a man to attempt to justify himself to those whom he has shamelidly betrayed. Mr. Bigler does not believe in Lecomplon, which he denounced in advance ; and yet he asks others to do so. He dare not deny that lip was fully commit ted to the very principles for which Douglas contends; and yet he has attempted with his puny arm, to rise the axe against Douglas, only because the latter has been true to his pledge.. Weak, as well are.reckless, in his inconsistency, this man would now make a test upon the Democracy of the very doctrines Iwhich he repudiated and then swallowed. There can be no motive in all these efforts bin that of self. There is no regard [or the President, whom Bigler has opposed for “twelve years,’’ and there fs certainly no five for the South, which he has successively betrayed. We trust some of the Democrats who are called upon to listen to Senator Bigler, will not hesitate to remind him of his record on the Kansas question ; and especially of his “illumination” speech, in reply to Judge Douglas. The latter is a mine of mind and of originality.— Forney's Press. Nothing to do with Slavery. —lt is a favorite argument with the editors of Demo cratic papers, from the Washington Union down to the country echo, that the Demo cratic parly have nothing to do with Slavery. If ‘>e can believe them they are not in favor of its extension under any circumstances. It is a matter entirely beyond their control, and one for which they are not responsible. Let us see. Did not the Democrats in Con gress vote to force it upon the people of Kansas, against their wish, and in defiance of ther unanimous remonstrance against the outrage? What induced this course,if they are not in favor of the extension of Slavery ? What motive was there for inserting in the English Bill a clause allowing the admission of Kansas into the Union with a population of 30,000, provided her inhabitants tolerated Slavery ; and refusing to admit her with a less population than 100,000 in case her people embraced freedom? What is all this but legislating in favor of the extension of Slavery ? It will not do to deny these facts. They are too fresh in the recollection of every newspaper reader, to be disputed or evaded. The Democratic party, by its acts, goes in for spreading African Slavery over all the fiee territories of the West, to the exclusion of the free while man of the North, who may desire to make his abode where land is cheap. No amount of special pleading can break the force of the record.— El. Ado. A Candid Admission.—Gov. Hammond of South Carolina, in one of his recent speeches, said : "All the opposition measures of which the South has complained in the last thirty years, she herself inaugurated. Washing ton and, Jefferson, in the matter of Slavery, set the evil example. The North borrowed it from them. The Bank of the United Stales originated with the South. The South, under some of our leading men, was god father of the tariff. And it was the same with the internal improvements. Then, if the South has done all these things and undone them, has she not the power, if still united, to control ?” This is all true. Washington and Jeffer son initiated the great principle which now lies at the basis of the Republican parly. They wereihe first to give practical effect to the idea that Congress possessed supreme power over the Territories, and that that power should be exerted to keep out slavery. But what was initialed by Washington and Jefferson, is now repudiated by Hammond and Buchanan.— Albany Eve. Jour. The Hon. Alexander H. Stephens, of Georgia-, did not hesitate to declare, when in this city the other day, en route for the Northwest, that he was in favor of the re election to the Senate of Judge Douglas, and that he regarded the war by the President upon the anti-Lecompton men of Illinois as wickedly foolish. Mr. Stephens being a Southern man is at liberty to express his opinions freely. He may denounce the Presi dent in the most contemptuous terms “spit upon” his policy, call him hard names, and no word or gesture even of weak remon strance comes back. But, let a “National’’ Democrat presume to say that old Buck is an old Con , or even venture a suggestion that the opinions of the “Old Chief” are not immaculate conceptions, and from that time forward he has no rest for the sole of his foot, hut is culfed and cussed and hooted and booled out of the party. —Cincinnati Com.

Pic-Nic.—The people in and around Callin Hoi low got up a very pleasant pic-nic party last Satur day, on the closing of several schools in that and contiguous neighborhoods. The declamations were very good indeed. Many of the exercises were in. audible beyond the platform—a 100 common fault on such occasions. A colloquy, in which several young ladies participated, was admirably sustained. The exercises were followed by a fine oration by Mr. M. F. Elliott, of Cherry Flats, the style and earnestness of whose delivery merit great praise. The crowd then repaired to the grove where a tasti ly decked (able was spread onJ groaning with its abundance. Suffice it to say, that, notwithstanding the excellent appetites ot all present, an abundance remained aflcrall were satisfied. “The Flies, mv Lord!”—Last week we asked ; “ Can any of our friends give us a certain cure for flics?” A correspondent humorously writes: “We can, and also can testify to Us efficacy, for we’ve tried it: w Take of pure, soft water one gallon ; place it over a slow firo until it attains the temperature of 190 degrees, Then add a lot of soap and make a strong suds.

Republican , is on a visit to his friends in this town. Last week he dropped in upon us. a little unexpectedly, with the fraternal greeting of— “ You villain!”— &.C., to which we returned— u You scoundrel!”— &.C. After this wc shook hands and accepted overtures of peace from our Schoharie co. temporary, in the shape of a nice cigar. Wc then invited him to a seat on a bottle from which the glory had long ago departed, and gently urged him to give us u lesson in Schoharie Dutch. Hull de. murred and we let him off. Of course lie will deny the more important parts of this relation; but he has been in the business longer than wc have and is not expected to sec things in their true light. Tiie world seems to have used brother Hall right well since he was last here. If anything, he has grown young in physique, while his genial humor gains glow in the lapse of lime. Success to him in all save politics. Boldly, or Not ut All. Sowing and Boa ping. relates the story of a boy who came run ning from the field one day, bitterly complaining to his mother (hat a nettle had stung him, and visiting j upon the offending weed utter condemnation. The j mother listened calmly until he hud ended and then said; 11 It was your just touching it, my boy, “thatcaused it to sling you; when you meddle M with a nettle again grasp it firmly and it cannot “ hurf you.” The moral will be guessed by each— Do boldly tohal you do at all. Every young man may take the lesson home to his conscience with profit. It inculcates self-rcii ance and decision of chancier. It invites men to work while health, strength, youth, and vigor are theirs as great aids to a life of usefulness. As there is uo more glorious spectacle to contemplate than that of a map, or of a body of men, pressing on lo the attainment of a noble object, turning neither to the right nor the left, so there is none more painful to behold than the halting indecision of hundreds of young men just opening (he door to manhood. The manifold duties of life cannot be performed with gloved hands. The usefulness of men and wo men depends upon their willingness to stand near the work to be done. Nothing can be dune with the tips of the fingers and standing at arms’ length. The nettle will prick if touched so daintily as that; you cannot dare its thorns with impunity at that distance; you must grapple with your work as you would grapple with a man who sought your life. Stand firmly, bear yourself bravely, strike borne and victory is yours. No worker of ibis stamp ever fulled of his''reward. The pioneer whose ax rings in the unbroken for est is a great teacher.

He writes his teach ings in ineffaceable characters where ail of us may go and refresh our souls without price; they who come after him know that the slrong and true man went before ; they see the prints ot bis feet every, where on the hills and in the valleys, and the woods are no more pathless. A glorious teacher is he who fells the pride of the forest and gathers the charred trunks into unsightly funeral pyres! The slinging netffes of Sloth do not wound him. To every young roan under whose eye this may come, we repeal: Do boldly tohat you do at all. Have you wild oats to sow 7 That is a great mis. take, young man. If you have wild oats to sow, you obtained the seed from, some field other than your own. You have borrowed the seed, young man, and there are others wailing to obtain seed of. your first harvest. This strange grain which you denominate “ wild oats,” is nothing but the bad ex. ample of others made yours by contagion. This theory of wild oats is a shallow humbug, invented to justify wrong doing by the youth of the land. Is it well to waste precious time in sowing what must' be reaped in pain and bitter regret, if haply the in crease be not ruin? It is not wise—no matter if the so-called great men of the time trod this dan gerous path in youth; no matter if they came out of temptation with a fair share of mind and heart only not utterly perverted; we say to you that the lack of integrity which so stains the records of our public men may bo justly charged to the lime they spent in copying the evil example of others—better known as " sowing wild oats.” A wise Creator never set apart any field to such base use. No man is privileged to plant weeds that shall spring up on ly to exhaust the vital energies of the immortal soul —overshadowing and blighting the good grain, per verting its noble instincts and periling its well-being here and hereafter. No! Away with this false and pernicious theory, so eagerly seized up by hundreds of promising young men to justify the indulgences which debase and damn. You must grasp that net tle with a firm hand and crush it; or its stings will rankle in your souls to the day 'of your death, and, we doubt not, add many drops of pain to the cup of life hereafter. Do boldly what you do at all. No half-way meow*, ores with wrong, no compromise in those flattering words :—l will take a square-about turn and do bet ter by.andby, You mean that you will do belter when the alternative is utter ruin. That is just the meaning of that specious promise. How do we know ? No matter. Such as have made that oft. repeated promise only to break it nine hundred and ninety-nine limes and to keep it the thousandth, they can tell how that knowledge is gained. You can make no compromise with wrong unless you give wrong a large slice of advantage. Mark how Freedom has compromised with Slavery—yielding incii hy inch, until now she is in danger of in the great lakes of the Northwest. This comes of just touching the nettle, Had a firm hand grasped the weed eighty years ago, it had not sprung up to choke the path of empire. Beware of temporising. There is no conservative ground lying between the extremes of Wrong and Right. You cannot be flialf.way respectable—(here is no such a distinction recognized hy the Christian code of morals. “No man can serve two masters,” —it was true 1800 years ago, it is true to day and it will he true while lime lasts. It is cither to turn about and do right now, or it is to keep right on at the heels of bad ex ample until, perchance, the ability to turn about is lost forever. Suppose that, in order to increase the strength of a patient the physician should commence by taking a pint of blood per day and continue the treatment for ten days: what would men say of such unprec edented practice? Yet it wonld be just as rational to presume that a patient would gain health and vigor under such treatment as it is to claim, as not a few do, that the sowing of “ wild oats” is natural, necessary and harmless. Every hour of dissipation depletes the morale of a young man so much ; it de stroys his health and darkens his mind, weakens his love of the good and the beautiful in nature, gives birth to false ideas of life and its responsibilities and puts Ills life oat of tune beyond the power of after life to correct, fully. Many will not believe this preferring the wisdom of experience to the friendly warning of counsel. Very well. We shall contin. ue to expostulate while the great and increasing need of expostulation confronts us every where in ou r daily walk. The demon is hnsy in our streets and parents seem unconscious of the threatening ruin. In conclusion, wc direct attention to a selected article, touching the same subject, which will be found on the first page. Il is not at all probable that anything we can say in correction of a false statement concerning the doings of a Republican Meeting held in this place July 21st, evening, will be given to the readers of those pro-slavery journals in Philadelphia and else where whose conductors have given currency to the false report. We confess to having had, at one time, in the verdant period of our editorial experience, an idea of what might be considered candor and fair ness in journalism. But experience has proved that idea Utopian in the broadest meaning ot the word. We np longer look for truthfulness from the enamy when misrepresentation can be made equally con. veniant and profitable. It is an ever present remin der of the depravity of human nature as intensified hy the unscrupulous zeal of partisanship. But lest silence may be construed into admission we shall endeavor to set the Pennsylvanian right, as well as those Journals which have copied its article. Neither of the speakers on that occasion had any. thing to do with presenting, the rejected resolution, nor were they consulted in reference to it in any way or at any lime; nor did they participate in the vote. The “Black Republican paper” did justify the rejection of that resolution, for good and suffi. cicnt reasons which were given ; but no attack was made upon either candidates, Convention or any of the *• high contracting parties,” The evident in tention of the article is to give currency to the idea that there was an open break between the rank and file and Messrs. Wilmot, Grow and Williston, The idea is withoot foundation. M Shahmah in pursuit of Freedom : or the Brand ed Hand. 1 " In press, and soon to be published, by Thatcher & Hutchinson, New York.

In a late number of the Albany Evening Journal, Thurlow VVeed tells us what a droll President we have got, in the following con cise words: “He entered the While House, with a prom ise of freedom to Kansas on his lips, and a scheme for enslaving it in his pocket. He declared war against circulating noies and in six weeks was issuing them himself. Be fore the ink was dry with which he pledged “Economy,” he had drained the treasury of its last dollar. Before the printers were done stereotyping his inflexible determination never to borrow, he was in Wall street soliciting a loan. “He congratulated the country on the final end of slavery agitation, and -he has been agitating it ever since. He ordered Paulding 10 stop Ihe filibusters, and then recalled him for doing it. Walker of Nicaragua he pro nounced an outlaw and tendered him the hospitalities of the While House. Walker of Kansas he furnished with written instruc tions, and turned him out for obeying them. “He withheld the troops from Utah, where he proclaimed there was war, in order to keep them in Kansas, where he insisted all was peace. He sells Forts at the west for a lithe of-their cost, in order to buy sites at the east at ten limes their value—his subordi nates in both cases pocketing (He difference. He is continually asking for new steam Jrigates ; but he will not use those either on the coast of Africa or in the Gulf of Mexico. He sends out a steamer, ostensibly to catch the Styx, but, with private orders in the captain’s desk to do nothing of the sort. — Claiming to be the most frugal of Presidents, be has spent more than any of his predeces sors. Assuming to be above party prejudices, he makes partisanship the basts even of his invitations to dinner. Organize. —There is a mistaken idea that in order to carry an election, or, indeed, to ac complish any important work, H is necessary to get up a furore of excitement. We admit that much has been, and can be done in this way ; but. m our opinion, there is a better way to accomplish great results than the mere appealing to the feelings and prejudices of the people. This appeal to prejudice may do for those who have no principles to defend, but those who expect to succeed by the truth and juslice of their cause should pursue a different method. It is a generally accepted, and /rue, doc trine that a Republican Government must be based upon the general intelligence of the people. If this be true, and no man dare dispute it, it follows, as a necessary conse quence, that in all discussions of principles and questions of policy, we should appeal to the intelligence of the people, and not seek to excite their passions. This brings us to the point which we de sire to discuss, viz: the necessity of early organization. In union there is strength, is an old and trne adage; but there cannot he efficient union without organization, hence the im perative necessary of taking immediate steps to secure a thorough organization all over the Slate, but more especially, as concerns us, in this counly,and district.— Vedette. Feat in Grain Cutting. —Capt. Michael Cromer, machinist, of Mercersburg, Franklin county, Pa., on the 12ih of July, accomplished the extraordinary feat of cut ting twelve and a half acres of wheal. Some ten or twelve years since a brother of Gapt. Cromer cut eight acres of wheal in one day, which, at lhai time, was iho best day’s work ever performed in that vicinity. Last season Capl. C. cut ten acres in one day, and on Monday, the 12th inst., he capped I he climax, by cuuing twelve and a half acres. The ground was measured, so that there could be no mistake in the number of acres. The lime employed was from sunrise till twenty minutes before sunset. The work was done in a workmanlike manner, ihe swaihs aver aging eleven feet in breadth, and the cuts about four and a half feel in depth. It is con fidently believed, that but for a shower of rain coming at five o’clock, the Captain would have cut at least half an acre more. The last round he went in the evening mea sured one hundred and fifty rods in length, which he cut in twenty minutes, his culs averaging four and a half feel in depth and eleven feet in breadth. Poisonous and Ugly_Reptii.es.—A few days since a box of fruit Irom Palermo was being opened in ihe fruit store of Messrs. Reed & Forbush, 21 Merchants row, a live centipede of the most venomous class was disclosed to view, and, after a somewhat pro tracted chase about the store, and among barrels and boxes, it was captured, immedi ately consigned to a bottle filled with alcohol, where it soon expired after manifesting its utter distaste for its treatment in a variety of contortions. This deadly poisonous reptile measured some six inches in length and has forty-two distinct legs, each about three fourths of an inch long. A living scorpion was discovered in ihe same box of (ruit, and was consigned to the same liquid element as its poisonous companion. —Boston Journal. A Correspondent writing from Canton, Bradford County Pa., under date of August 7th, informs us that the store and goods be longing to George Hill, of Burlington Pa., was destroyed by fire on Friday night.

The New militia, taw. , By a recent act of our Legislature, a law was created, authorizing the organization of Cavalry, Infantry, and Artillery companies, giving a member of either the last two, one dollar and a half per day, and of the first, three dollars and fifty cents.l Now, in pur suance of the provisions of this act, many companies are being formed, which of course, will be entitled to the said compensation. Far'be it from me, to detract from the earnest spirit manifested by theuxonhpanies in uni forming themselves bill I Think ijlhat such an expenditure of money may well be questioned. For instance, the cavalry, consisting of fifty, are entitled to one hundred and seventy-five dollars for each and every day’s training. Suppose such company train nine times du ring the year, at the end, it wjll amount to the snug little sum of fifteen jhundred and seventy-five dollars' for a single: company of cavalry, to which if we add, the other com panies in order to complete the Battalion, the sum will be swelled to a trifle;less than three thousand dollars! Suppose, if Tioga Co. raises five Battalions, theirlpresenl com pensation will amount to more than the pres ent expenditures of this county; Now will some of the advocates of this Law inform us, if the tax-payers are to have a value received for their money ? How much better prepared for service, will the members of these companies j be, for their discipline as now conducted, byt officers, nec essarily ignorant of military tactics as prac ticed in our national army?' .Or, if we are to have this compensation j clause remain upon our statute book; would it not be far better Icf supply every company with a com petent officer—one who undersjands the dis cipline enforced in our military academies? If such a course was adopted,'die companies,; of course, could be better driljed, and in such a manner as would place theiln in a better position in our tfrmy, should we ever be so unfortunate as to be involved ih War. But it is a notorious fact, that “training” as has been practiced heretofore, was! ever a mere farce in which men engaged it) save them selves from the accustomed And shall it be so in the future?

Mrs. S. was of course much frightened, and there is not much doubt but that it would have terminated fatally to at least one of the chil dren, had it not been for the 'arrival of the two men, who with more presence of mind, quietly removed them from either side of the bed at the same lime, without], alarming the snake, thus undoubtedly savin'g 'their lives His “snakeship” was then unceremoniously dispatched.
