THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE,
1858-59
The successful laying of the trans-At
'antic Telegraphic Cable marks a new era
in the Itisto-y of Human Progress. Hence
firth, Europe, Western Asia and North
ern Africa lie within an hour's d,stance
from our shores, ana the battle which de
cides the fate of a kingdom the capture of
o Vienna or Gibraltar, the all of a dynas
ty, the triumph of a usurpation, the - birth
of an heir to royalty, the death of a Nich
olas or Wellington, in any county which
touches the Mediterranean, the Euxine,
the Black or the German Ocean, will be
published in New York the next morning,
if not on the very day of its occurrence.
In a moment as it were, we have been
thrown into the immediate intellectual
neighborhood of the whole civilized and
a large portion of the semi-barbarous
world. The rise and fall of stocks in Lon
don or Paris will henceforth be reported
ted frotn day to day in the journals of our
sea-board cities. The boldest operators
in Wall street will refuse to buy or sell
until they have read the quotations of that
day's business on the Royal Exchange
and the Bourne, whose trasnactions will
have closed en hour or so before ours can
begin A revolution in Paris, an impor
tant vote in Parliament, an insurrection in
Italy, a fire in Constantinople, will be
discussed around the breakfast tables of
New York a few hours after its occur
rence. A mighty though silent transfor
mation in the conditions of human exist
ence has boon effected by the little wiro
stretching across the ocean's b:d from the
coast of Ireland to that of British Amer
ica, and one inevitable result of this must
be an unexampled community of feeling
and interest among the nations of Chris
and a consequent desire for a more
intimate acquaintance with each other's
doing through the medium of the News
paper Press, It seems hardly possible
that thousands should not henceforth regu
larly read their own jounals, who have
hitherto loon content wills an occasional
glence at those takan by their neighbors
white many who have hitherto been con
tent with a Weekly issue will now require
a Semi-Weekly or Daily. In short, intel
ligence, always a vital element of growth
in wisdom, success in business, or enjoy
ment in life, has now become indispensa
ble to all.

"ANOTHER HATTIILL, JOEL•"
A short yarn was spun to us last even
ing, of and concerning the experiments in
milling of a couple of friends of ours, now
or lately sojourn!ng, for health and pleas•
ure at the Talladega Springs. It is unne
cessary to give the names of these gentle
men, but for convenience we will call them
respectively, John and Joel. They, it may
be remarked, have great similarity of
tastes, and among other penchants, are cc
, ry fond of fishing ; and everybody knows
that the vicinity of Talledega Springs of.
fern fine opportunity to the skillful knight
of the fly.
Thus John and Joel —there being no
religious services at he Springs that day
—went out, Sunday efore last, to the 'nill
of Mr. P—, a mile or two down the
creek, with a view to a dinner of small
trout and bream. With them went their
invited guest, Mr. Smith, and "Miles"
.'contrived" them down a bottle or two of
The party was snug ; the wind was pro
pitious f and the fish altogether am iablo.—
A cosy, nice dinner of brown and crisp
mountain fish was soon washed down with
a few glasses of champagne ; and then ci•
gars were lit. As the smoke curled lan
guidly about their noses, Satan, (who was

sugszested to John, that that mill wan .11

and John expressed the same opinion to
Joel. Joel thought differently, and ao did
Smith.
'Let's try her,' said John.
'Agreed,' said Joel and Smith
It was short work ; a large pine log lay
at right angles across the carriage of the
mill ; and it was agreed to 'let her rip"
through this. Accordjngly, the gate was
raised and immediately the stillness of 'thii
gratul old woods' was broken by the rapid
sharp strokes of the saw. In a minute
the log was brought up and the saw went
rapidly through.
'Now stop her,' said Joel—and Smith
and John essayed to do so.
But the mill wouldn't be stopped, but
went clattering away. as hard as ever !
'Stop her, John, or by the Lord she'll
split herself in two,' shouted John. But
all the fixtures were obstinate and refused
to yield to the exertions of John and Smith.
On went the saw, while John and Joel per.
spired.
Presently the carriage presented some
metallic obstruction to the passage of thu
saw, out "true as steel," it went against
the obstruction—and then the teeth flew.
[Some pieces of mill-iron had been left
upon the carriage way.] But yet it oeas•
ea not— up and down ! up and down ! the
true steel to the dull oast iron, until sudden
ly a small flame broke out among the dust
and splinters near the point of contact.
'Great G—d, John,' said Joel, 'the infn
nal machine la on fire. What shall we
dot'
'Run down to the creek and bring up
your hat full of water,' said John. Joel
looked affectionately at his handsome tile.
which is always kept neatly brushed, but
submitting to a dire necessity he straight
way made it n fire bucket and commenced
fighting the /mei. Johr. and Smith's
straws wore unavailable; nevertheless,
they did all those wild, inconsiderate things
which twos: persons will do, in case of fire
when there is no possibility of doing any
good.
Still that toothless saw ripped on, sing
ing a demon song as it scraped against the
dull cast iron. And the fire kept gaining
to little
Joel lat ored faithfully, and every two
minutes brought up Ina hat full of water
and threw it upon the fire. John stood
despairingly leaning-against a post in the
mill, and hallooed to his friend, as he seem-

'Besides my hat !' said Joel ; but he
brought the water and poured it go.
On went the devilish saw, raking, rasp
ing and tearing itself to pieces.
At th's juncture, Mr. P., the owner of
the mill, having seen the smoke, name
down to the mill, and with great difficulty
the saw was slapped and the fire put out.
Joel was grieviously "Wawa" with carry.
jag water in his hat, and John was quite
used up with excitement, while Smith was
breathless from his exertions at come lever
which he supposad might have some influ
ence in quieting the demon saw.
'Gentlemen,' said the proprietor, very
politely, 'it is easy enough to see why you
couldn't stop the saw after you set it a-go

which I can easily explain -'
'For Heaven's sake, Mr. P.' said John,
no explanations on that point! It's the
first mill I ever set a•going and /shallne

for the damages, and let's say no more
about it,'
'rho 'boys' paid $6O for not knowing
how to stop n saw, and that night John, in
a feverish sleep, (he has that blessing, chills
and fever) shouted to his room-mate--

A Sentimental Robber.
A night or two or two ago, a fair, sweet
girl, residing on Race, rear of Fourth St.,
wns partially awakened from her slumbers
by a man in her chamber, but not fully
aroused, she lay with closed lips for a mi
nute, when, the sound being repeated, she
started up and saw, by the light of the little ,
jet upon the gas-burner, a man's form dis
appearing through the window. She
screamed involuntarily, and her father,
armed with a revolver, was in her room in

Illysteriois Min' in New York.
[From the New York Courier of July 30.]
A report was current in the city onThurs
day that Mr. John V. James had died very
suddenly and mysteriously at hie residence
N 0.69 Amity street, and that his remain's'
had been conveyed in a clandestine man
ner to Albany, the place of his nativity.
What added still more to the mystery;
was the fact £hat his death waitinnotinced
in the Herald or T , ndav, as having taken
place on Su •. ;ening, when in fact he
was well at that time, and continued ao up
to within a few hours of his deceasei
which took place on Tilestay eierilao
Mr- James had been addicted ro easels in
the use of ardenispirits, and was in the
habit of partaking of powerful medicines.
It is supposed'that he intended ooinmitiog
suicide on eanday riight, and after having
penned a notice of his death' and sent ii
to the Herald, his courage failed bim, and
he posponed the , deed., The following i,
the notice referred to:
'Died.—On Sunday evening, July 25th
Mr. John V. hurley, of Albany." "This
sentence will occasion many a sad heart
among those who kn ew him. He was
one of the kindest and gentlest of human
beings. For the last three years Mr.
Japes has beeo'connected with the Ores,:
The * last lines that ever he wrote were
on the death of his friend, Lieutenant Gas
ton, who fell with Captain Tayloi, of whose
death a feeling and eloquent paragraph
was publihsed in yesterday's Herald. Mr
James was only twenty years of age' of
the time of his death. Hod he only lived
he would haqe made a name for
himself among the where of his cuuntry."
On the morniug subseqent to his death,
a wagon containing a coffin was driven up
to N 0.67 At/my street. 'Phe coffin was
taken into the house, in about fifteen min
utes afterwards brought out, placed upon
the wagon and driven off. The act was

The Wheat Crop.
The wheat prop in the several Stater,
may be considered an harvested and par
tially ready for market. We can, there
fore, give the following returns with some
degree of certainty
Mew York—The crop is under the last
year's about fifteen per cent., but the quali
ty is much better.
Perinsy/vanin.—The crop is fully an av
erage one, but ten per cent. lees than last
year per acre.
Maryland--The crop is an average one
but less per acre, and better in quality than
last year.
Virginia •: The wheat crop' in this State
is twenty per cent, lees than last year for
the amount at ground in cultivation, and
the quality not much superior.
North Caralina—The crop in this State
is probably nearer ten iced. (Wine than
in any other. The yield' being fully fifty
per cent. less than last yeh.r, and poor in
quality.
Kentucky—The crop is above the aver
age, but less than last year, the quality is,
however, unsurpassed.
Thanessee --'rhe crop is a good one, but
under the average in the yield per acre.
The quality is goad.
Missauri—The amount of the Wheat
crop in this State is not fully known, bin
it will generally compare well per acre
with the other Western States.
Ohio—The yield of wheat per acre is
fully twenty per cent. less than last year,
but from the increase of land in cultivation
the decrease from an average crop will
not much exceed ten percent.
lowa- The accounts front the centre of
the State in regard to the Wheat crop are
very gloomy. The crop will hardly aver
age ten bushels to the acre. Oats are ge.
uerally a failure.
illinois—ln Southern Illinois the yield
of wheut is about a fair average, rather un
der than over. 'I he winter has been gen
erally successful, and spring wheat the re
verse. In other pans of the State the
yield will be over half the usual crop.
Indiana—ln Indiana the yield of wheat
has been from one half to two•thirds on the
average crop.
Minnesota—• The yiela of wheat in this
State is of better quality than UMW, and
in quantity nearly two-thirds the wittal
crop.
Michigan—The yield of Wheat in Mi

and generally of good quality. •
