The Company feel confident of :access this time. as extraordinary precau tions have been taken to test the wire and guard against accident. The western ter minus of the cable will be in New Found land, so that both ends will be tinder British control, but in case of a war, our Yankee Gunboats would no doubt be able to cut the coMmunication to prevent any undue advan tage on the part of the enemy front this -on rce. We see it stated that the Comp ny intends to charge twenty pounds sterling, or a bout, .$lOO in gold, for every message of twenty lines or less, and for every word above twenty, ono pound sterling, or about in gold. These are pretty stiff' prices, nd .we apprehend will have tci'be cOns idera ray lowered it the Company desires to do much business. Xe'''The Newbu wort Herald concludes an interesting history of the various substitutes for the largo and costly pipe organ with the following well-deserved notice of the Cabi net Organ:* "All these inventions were, how ever; but little, mo!a than a series of experi • ments, a striving after an ideal, which should combine all excellences andreject all imper fection, which, according to the universal testimony of the greatest inus'cians through out the world, has at last been attained in the 'Cabinet Organ' of Mason & Hamlin. Those who have had their ears pained by the thin, brassy sound of the old-fashioned soraphine, in which the wind was forced instead of drawn through; or who have tried to be thankful for the improved melodeon, but wishing there was more of it, can hardly realize that an instrument of the same class should be capable of such-power, richness of tone, and surprising effects as the Cabinet Organ. It is fortunate, too, that their ex pense is so low as to place them within tho mama of almost every . family in the land; and theiyinfluenco'will, we doubt not, be unbounded in musical, !esthetic, and social culture." . --Gen.

That date marks the most iMportaht epoch in the history of that State. Four :years ago the partisans of slavery and lion had the tipper hand even in the city or St. 'Louis, and only the decided action of Gen. LYON in the Camp Jackson affair turn ed the scale finally against them. The Pitts burgh Gazefle says that since then the con test has been very close and bitter. between the party of freedom and the so-called Con servatives, who aro the secessionists of 1864, now obliged to yield to the force of events. The State has, until now, been trammeled by the old slavery codes and a Constitution devised in its interest, but from this time its progress will be unimpeded as that of Illi nois. Nor were her natural advantages at all inferior. Nothing but the blight of sla very prevented Missouri from continuing its she once did, to exceed her great rival in population and wealth', Nearly equal in agricultural advantages through the greater part of her extent, the lack of fertility in some places is more than compensated by the great abundance and variety of her mineral products. `lone of the other central States have resources capable of supporting so large. a population as Missouri, and there is no risk in predicting that under the regime of free dom her progress will be imsurpassed. Ceremonies at Gettysburg The laying of the corner-stone of the Sol diers's Monument, at Gettysburg, on the 4th of July, attracted an illlWollBo throng of people. In addition to those in attendance from Adams and the surrounding counties, great numbers were present from the East and the West, from Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York. Boston, and the remotest parts of New England, all anxious to Witness and parti. ipate in the interesting ceremonies. At 10 o'clock in the morning, the proces sion, headed by Maj.ir Generadd. W.

Ben Wood, proprietor of the Nov York News : " If a copperhead like Ben Wood escapes unwhipt of justice, we might as well strike all laws from the statute book and open all the jails. His offence is rank. He has long tested the patience of the people. The blood of countless numbers of our brave soldiers is red upon his hands. He stands detested by the North, which he has betrayed, and by the South, which he has aided to seduce into continuance of the war. His office has been the appropriatemesting,plaee of traitors. To it John Mitchell ran when Richmond fell; as the serpent Minks from one hole to another. He is a Benedict Arnold without his bravery, a Judas Iscariot who has not the grace to hang. himself. lie and Jeff, Davis should bo executed side by side-the one as the representative of the Copperheads of the North, and the,othor as the represeni , tative of the traitors of the South.!' , • VOICE OF A PATRIOT.--in ; tuo•courao of a private, letter of the 28th of May, to the, ed itor, of tho Now York Tribune, the patriotic liose!uni 'incidentally says : " How happy you must feel in having been spared - to seethe triumph of the grand ,prirr eiples for which you have boon • Contanding all your life I The stain of slavery is remov ed from the fair escutcheon ot- your 'noble land.

At the laying of the,corner-stono of the Soldier's Menu merit, ai;',oettty' sburg, on the Fourth, Gen. HowAnn,•as - orator of the day, delivered an eloquenCiiddiess, from which we'take this capital sketch'of our Soldiers: 1 You meet hinrin SVushingtot, (on4feri dian Hill, perhaps,) diSciplihonnd drill seize upon him, restrain his liberty and mould his body. 'Colonels, captains, lieutenant., and. sergeants, his former equals, order him about, and he must obey them. Oh what days l• and oh what nights! Where is home anal affection ? Where is the soft bed and the' loaded table ? Change of climate, ehting - tof food, want of rest, want of all kinds o old things, and an influx of all sort of new things, make him sick—yes, really sick in body and soul. But in spite of a few doses of quinine and a wholesome hospital bed and diet. (as tile soldier of 1861 temembers them,) his vig orous constitution and indomitable heart pro veil, so that he is soon able to cross the Long Bridge and invade the sacred red clay of Virginia with his companions-in-arms. Yet, perhaps, should you now observe him very closely, you will perceive his enthusiasm in creasing faster even than his strength. He 'is on the enemy's side of this river ; now for strict guard duty ; now fur the lonely picket amid the thickets where men are killed by ambushed foes. How the eye and the ear, and—may I say it ?—the heart, are quicken ed in these new and trying vigils. Before long, however, the soldier is inured to these things. He becomes familir with every stump, tree and pathway of approach, and his trusty gun and stouter heart defy any secret foe. Presently you find him on the road to battle. The hot weather ofJuly, the unusual load, the superadded twenty extra rounds of cartridges and-three days' rations strung to his neck, and the long and weary march quite exhaust his strength during the very first day. Ile aches to leave the ranks and rest ; but no, no. He did not leave home for the ignominious name of "straggler!: and "Fkolker." Cost what it may, he holds on. The Acotink, the Cub Run, the never-to-be forgotten Bull Run are passed. Here, of a sudden, strange arid terrible sounds strike upon his ear, and bear tfewn upon his heart; the booming of spotted cannon; the screech ing of bursting shell through the heated air, and the zip, zip, zip of smaller balls; every thing produces a singular effect upon Min. Again, all at once he is thrown quite un prepared upon a nets' isndjrying experience; for now he meets the groaning ambulance and the bloody stretcher. He meets limp ing; armless, legless, disfigured, wounded men. To the right of him and to the left of , him are the lifele s forms of the slain. Slid.- ; deftly a large iron missile of death strikes elese beside him, and e•;plieles, sending out twent.t or more jagged fragments, which re inersele—ly maim ie. kill tile or six of Ills nufes before they have had all opportunity lln strike •int• allow for their country.

That pleasure, owing to my indisposition, 1 am reluctantly compelled to forego. 1 should have been pleased standing on that twice consecrated spot to char.. with you your joy at the, return of peace, to greet with you the surviving heroes of the war who come back with light hearts, though heavy laden with honors, and with 3 -,, u to drop grateful tears to the memory iii those that will never re turn. finable to do so in person. lean only send you my greetings, and assure you of my full sympathy with the purpose and spirit of your eNercises to-morrow. Of all the anni versaries of the Declaration of Independence, none 11116 been more important apd signifi cant than that upon which you assemble. Four years of struggle for our nation's life have been crowned with success ; armed treason is swept from the land; our ports are reopened; our r lotions with other nations are of the most satisfactory character ; our internal commerce is free ; our soldiers and sailors resume Die pursuits of civil life; our flag floats in every breeze ; and the only barrier to our national progress—human sla very -is forever at an end. Let us trust that each recurring FOUrth of July shall find our nation stronger in nut - Mae—stronger in health—stronger in the harmony of its citi zens—stronger in its devotion to nationality and freedom. As I liave often said, I believe that God sent this people on a mission among the na tions,of the earth, and that when he founded t our nation be founded itin perpetuity. That faith sustained me through the struggle that is past. It sustains me now that new duties are devolved upon me and new dangers threaten us. I feel that whatever the means he uses, the Almighty is determined to pre serve us as a pgoplo . And since 1 know the love our fellow-eiti zons ()ear their country, and the. sacrifices they have made for it, my abiding faith has bdcenio ,stronger than ever that a "govern ment of the people" is the strongest as well as the best of all governments. In your joy to-morrow, I trust you will not forget the thousands of whites,.as well as blacks, whom the' war has emancipated, who will hail this Fourth of July with a delight which no previous declaration olindopen 'deuce ever gave them. Controlled so long .by ambitious, selfish leaders, who used them for their own unworthy ends,.they aro now free to servo and cherish the government a gainst whose lifer they, in their blindness, struck.

The absorbing topic of conversation every where was the approaching 41X.PCUtio.h. The sympathy in favor of Mrs. Surma gained ground by discussion, .and hundreds who admitted her guilt inveighed bitterly against the mode of punishment. This morning the sun rose On the burn and excitement of ex pectant preparation, and every faee denoted the interest felt in the May's developments. This day the great penalty due to outraged laws and an outraged nation by the conspi rators who sought to overthrow the govern ment through the assassination or it, leadirig officials has been itaid by a portitM of the guilty gang. =EI At a late hour last night a writ of habeas corpus was sworn out before Judge W 3 lie, of the Supreme Court of the District of Co m4in, in th e cas e or Mrs. Sorrell, by her attorneys, as stated in the ile.wid of this morning ; but Marshal Gooding decided that it could only be served during legal of fice hours, and postponed it till nine this morning, The whit. was promptly served. The writ wits served upon Major Geneve' Hancock by United States Marshal Good ing, when he proceeded at once to consult the Attorney General and the President.— The latter promptly advised Gen. }Janet:Mc to disregard the writ, and proceed at once with the execution of Mrs. Surratt. The writ was returnable at ten o'clock ;' but nearly two hours after the time, General Hancock entered the Court, accompanied by Attorney General Speed, who apologized for the apparent delay in making a return on the part of the Ger oral, as it was unavoida ble, le then proceeded to^r ad the return, in which General Hancock said the body of Mrs. Surratt was in his porsession, for the purpose expressed, and which order is us follows, &c..: EXECUTIVE OFFICE, J uly 7. 1865. gb Major General Hancock, commanding, c.

With all it was a wretched night, from which refr shing sleep was debarred, and the fear ful boding of the events of the mor row refused to he gone.. The friends, rela tives and spiritual advisers of the prisoners, were with them until nearly eleven o'clock last night, and ministered to the comforting of their mental distress by all' the nears in their power. Mies Anna Surratt remained with her mother nearly the entire night. Payne was the only one of the mis rabic party who is said to have rested at all sound ly- or unbrokenly; and this unexcitable and stalwart man was not vouchsafed rest and unconsciousness until nearly dawn. Unlike the rest, he consumed a hearty breakfast, and in no way gave evidence of thefailure of that matchless nerve and resignation which he has exhibited from the hour of his arrest.— Though regardint , his ultimate execution as a foregone concrusion, in communicating with his friends and pastor he displayed gen uine contrition, arid believed he was justly expiating his monstrous offence. Mrs. Surratt, early in the evening, became completely unnerved and somewhat flighty in thought and expression. She seemed riot only overwhelmed with mental anguish, but utterly prostrated physically with the, near approach of the terrible ordeal which was meted to her. The intellectual resources and will that sustained this dark and sinister wo man throughout the session of the court, of inquisition, completely forsook her when hope vanished and Ilia gibbet from which she was to swing wit:: already reared Rennie fray paces, from the purt.r•als of her cells. tharold, like Payne. suceeeded in gaining several hours of sleep towards morning.

Atzerott was attended to and up the steps of the scaffold by the Re% . Mr. 'Butler, and he too W,lts hidden to ho seated on a chair place at the southern end of the grim white structure. NEXT CAME PAYNE, manacled like Atzerutt, drersed only in the navy pants and collarless shirt he wore dur ing the long trial. So instinctive is the rd miration which men feel for any man who M.Oi last hour meets unmoved the Icing of terrors, that this youth with the bull neck and close shaven crown, short face and quiet blue eye, drew more sympathy than the fears of a thousand Atzerotts could ever evoke. On he went to the steps, side by side with the minister of his choice, Mr. Gillett. Checked in his gait but seemingly unembar• missed. lie readied the platform and sat down near to Mrs. Surratt, find there he remained gazing, as he used to do in the court room, through the bars at the white fleecy clouds that shifted before the intense rays of a sun that gilded with all the pomp of a All , llMer noon one of the most solemn scenes ever ex hibited in this land, so free hitherto from stleh CHOWS. Payne (we prefer the more generally known mune) looked neither to the right nor to the left, but straight for ward a n p w rds. It was evident that to him the cro wa were nothing, his own thoughts e lrything. His face might he likened to that of it builder of castles in the air. Fear there was none, no move than 011 tine face of it sleeping ; braggadocio, or the mor bid vanity that so often supplies co: rage, was not to be read in the quiet, dreaming eye, where the old wildness alone had tied, and as the sun faced him as truly as he faced it, the photographer whose instrument stood in a window of the western wall, will hand down Payne to posterity with a thee on which no man could read either remorse .or past crime or the fear ofpresent punishment. The memory of his horril crime, which had appalled a nation, was lost in contemplating his bearing, which at the very foot of the scaffold a soldier who had braved death from Chattanooga toSavannah, styled right regal. Last, and in every way least, came nevoid, with bloodless, sallow cheeks, still sufficient ly self-contained to walk or hobble as well 1113 his shackles would permit, and, attended by Dr. Olds, he, too, mounted the stairs and sat between the quaking .Atzerott and .tho quiet Payne. THE . rREPARATIONS FOR THE EXIWUTION Tho preachers having ended, nn order in audible from below was given, and Payne slowly walked forward to the rope allotted to MM.; then stepped forth Mrs. Surratt, aided by her reverend advisers, who had read to her pprtion of the Catholic ritual prepared for such. occasions. Then, at the other end of the platform, rose Atzorott, quivering in every ,aervei his knees knock ' ;dant ilia 0.6 - Mb - 1 iftlibi manadles ; and last again came forth Haroldi , less demonstative of terror, but only less pale than Aire. Stirratt, over whose lace there began to 'Steal an expression of resignation. Then the arms of all four were tied above the elbows :with strips , of white Muslin. Men have issued from imprisonment of years with whitened. tonics and. from.-shipwreck. with shattered reason ; but Atzerott, appar ently Suffered More in' theiesixteenminates that elapsed . ficird his. entering . the yard to the time of his beingled tbrward to the rope than was ever endured in the Bastile or in St. Marks. His eyes stood out, his shoulders drooped, and no aspen ever trembled as he did frotn toe to head. It was pitiful to look at him, and withal sickening. Payne's dyes still followed the thinning white cloud. Harold was expressionless, while Mrs. Surrat seeming less and less terrified, submitted to the tying with noappearancem consciousness. Then other strips of muslin were brought forth 'to tie tine legs between allele and knee. =I Then over the head of each was passed the fatal noose. Payne bent gracefully to it, as if he were assuming a crown, and when it circled his powerful throat he drew him self up, and turning his head slightly ad dressed some quietovords to the officer who still held the rope,' Fo all present it ,was the execution of a murderer; to the tnur derer it evidently was the coronation of Martyrdom, and the noose an aureole of glory.—None resisted the rope. THE CAP OF DOUAI Then over the Nee and head of each was placed a cap or white rou•lin shaped some what like a jockey's skull cap, but large enough to enclose face and head, Mid long enough to reach below the chin, and., now the pent. up fear of Atzerott breaks forth in words and lie exclaimed : "Gentlemen, beware!" And as Ilaro ld's cap was piffled on last of all, Atzerott again burst forth with— Good-by, ,t;:ontivdt,l/2111! At half-pa=t one o'cionlc, as the minis ter; movori back, Atzerott, again spoke;— Mitt' we 1111 ;fleet in anoint . ..l. world."
