him any relief until he sent to Rocheport, for

How THE SUBMARINE TELEGRArH WAS LAID
The submarine telegraph (says the Mobile Irt-
bune,) connecting England and France between
Calais and Dover was laid during the last week OF
August. The operation was performed by the
aid of steamer. Between the padde-wheels, IN
the centre of the vessel was gigantic drum or
wheel, nearly fifteen feet long, and seven feet d.
ameer, weighing seven tons, and fixed on strong
framework. Upon it, coiled up, in careful, close
commissions, " ere about thirty miles OF telegraph
wire ope-tenth of an inch in diameter, encased IN
a covering of gutta percha, the thickness of a lit
tie finger. The point proposed to be reached,
Cape Grinez--the nearest landmark to the Eng
lish coast, and between Calais and Boulogne-is
distance of twenty-one miles, so that surplus
supply of nine miles of wire was held IN reserve
for the purpose of sackening. The route was
marked by series of pilot buoys. The vessel
steamed out at the rate of three or four miles an
hour into the open sea, in direct track for Cape
Grinez. The wire continuously streamed
out over roller at the stern of the vessel, the
men, at every 10th of mile, being busily enga-
ged in riveung on to the wire square eaden clamps
or weights of from ii to "a lbs, and which had
the effect of sinking the wire in the bottom oil the
sea- which on the English coast, commences at
depth of 80 feet and goes varying from that
to 100 and IS0 feet. The whole of the casting
out and sinking was accomplished with great pre-
csion and success, owing to the favorable state oil
the dsy
