otrThe U. S. steamer Arctic has just re-
turned from her voyage for sounding the At
lantic over the route of the proposed subma-
rine telegraph. She found in the bed of the
ocean a plateau, of less depth thar was expect
ed. The bottom in the deeper portions was
found of fine, soft mud into which the sound
ing ms truments sunk several feet by their
own weight. No rock, or any Instructions
dangerous to the wires were found in any part
of the route. The project of laying the cable
is deemed will be matter of no difficulty,
and will be accomplished it is thought early
in the spring. The whole distance from shore
to shore is 1,642 sea miles, and the greatest
depth is about half way, between shores, and
was found to be 2,o70 fathoms, more than two
miles.

Texas Fever Among Cattle.

few years ago new and singular disease
ties of Missouri, bordering on Arkansas and
the Indian Nation which carried off large
herds. This disease made its appearance in
these rigions, at the period when drovers from
Texas began to bring their cattle over the
prairies of Texas and Missouri to the North
ern markets. The infection made its first APP
pearance along the routes ofthe Texas droveS
and almost simultaneous with their passage.
The inhabitants attributed the infection to the
presence of the Texas cattle. The drovers
denied that the disease was taken from their
stock, for no such had ever been known in
Texas, nor could any symptoms of it be found
among their cattle even while ranging with
the sick Missouri stock; and no instance was
ever known, even after mingling with the
Missouri cattle in the infected districts of a
single case of the disease attacking a creature
Of the Texas breed. Yet a drove of Texas
cattle seldom passed, but the disease appeared
IN its train. This fact so alarmed the people
that n many of the counties they held meet
ings, and forbid the passage of Texas droves
through their country. The drovers had found
the trade profitable, and resolved to persist and
maintain the rights o. free trade. Strifes en-
sued and battles were fought, in which bloody
noses were made, and the booty were fat
heifers and steers. The lawyers were not
slow to discover the chances for good fees, and
the calendars of the courts in those regions
are filled with causes of the trespass and
detinu in which grave questions of constitu-
tional rights are to be discussed and settled.
We had supposed with the suspension of the
cattle trade, the disorder among both cattle
and people had ceased, but the last st. Louis
News has the following paragraph, which
wears a very serious aspect:
This fatal disease is prevailing to quite
great extent in some portions of Lafayette
county. We hear of some farmers who have
lost all their cattle within a few days past
This disease is called the "Texas'' fever BE-
cause it never was known in this country un-
til it was brought here by droves of cattle
from Texas, and for two or three seasons past
it has prevailed with great malignity in every
section Of the State where Texas cattle have
been introduced. Now it seems to have
spread to some extent, and there is great
danger its becoming a settled disease Of the
country unless prompt steps are taken to
eradicate it, and prevent its further introduce
ton.

Frauds in Suffrage.

+ The Philadelphia Ledger, an Independent
paper with Buchanan proclivlties--says that
there were 10000 new names entered upon
the Extra Assessment Roll' of the city, i'm
mediately before the election. By law of the
State each voter must be assessed and pay
poll tax before he be allowed to vote. These
new names were ordered by the Democratic
city Council, not to be published, so that the
public had no chance to scan them and ex-
pose the fraudulent names. The statement is
too monstrous almost for credebility, that so
large number of persons could be introduced
into city without being apparent to every
eye and arousing public Indignation. Twenty
thousand strange raggamuffins could not ap-
pear at once in the streets without exciting
attention. Yet facts and circumstances war
rant the charge to its full extent. The total
vote in May last, which was warmly con-
tested election was only $3.50. At the
recent election the aggregate of the city was
68,642. The whole increase in the vote in the
city from 1848 to May 1856, had not exceeded
3000;-but in five months, it has now been
increased over $4,000, and the whole increase
has been on the Democratic side. There are
no means of explaining the facts, but by the
belief in the outrageous frauds. The Ameri-
can party polled $4,000 votes, and upon any
legitimate estimate Of the whole number of
legal voters, had majority of 10000 in the
city;-But the Buchanan majority in the city
is made to appear 3434, and in the State,
about 600O The vote polled in the city is
altogether out Of proportion to the population.
No community in the country, ever showed
such ratio of votes to population. New
York with a population of 100000 create r
than Philadelphia never threw vote so large
by 1900.
Charges are boldly made by the Republi-
cans that gross frauds have been committed
in this State, by the introduction of voters
| from abroad, and it is asserted in some of the
prints that the State has been carried by these
frauds We are satisfied great many for
eigners and other recent corners were admitted
to vote before they had fulfilled their proba-
tion:-but the change of $4,000 or 10000
votes in the State, is too great to be attributed
to any such means. In all the counties along
the river we have taken especial pains to en-
fquire of Republicans and Fillmore men il
there were, in their precincts, any reasons to
believe the unexpected results were produced
by the use of money or illegal votes-and
they have uniformly answered us, we are hap
Ply to say, that they saw no evidence of either
We feel induced to make this declaration fol
the credit of the State and the good name o
its citizens. The triumph of Democracy il
Indiana -as unexpected to themselves as tt
us--was achieved by their superior erganiza
ton and party scipline, and very gallant
fight.

U. S. FRIGATE IN ENGLAND.-The London
Globe thus speaks of the U. S. Steamer Fri
gate Marrimac, which al Northampton,
England, on the 9th inst. "The Merrimac is
one of the six screw steam frigates which the
United States government have recently built,
and in which every improvement in ship build
ing screw steam machinery. and in marine
armament has been introduced. The Merri-
mac is 800 tons burden and 500 horse power,
with crew of nearly 600 persons, and armed
with 40 guns of enormous calibre. 1t is con-
sidered that she would be able to encounter
the largest ship in the British navy. She was
built at Boston, of live oak, and launched a
twelve-month since. Her privot guns are
Dahgren's improvement on Paixhan. Her
screw is Griffith's patent, and her compasses
are adjusted by a scret process, which entirely
prevents local variation. She will remain
about three weeks at Southampton, and will
most probably winter at Brest. To-day, at
midday, the commander will fire a salute in
honor of the authorities of the town. The
frigate is of immense length, and has beauti-
full appearance on the water. Her internal
arrangements seemed almost perfect

EiIlmnra Mating.

The meeting at Apollo Hall on Tuesday
evening proved that the Fillmore men were
not dismayed, and had not abated one jot of
their enthusiasm for their favorite candidate.
Mr.. Edwards, though at near the end Of 4
long canvass, and dealing with topics made
somewhat thread5are by eonstat discussion,
had the power to enchain the attention and
arouse into repeated plaudits the feelings of a
large auditory, who responded with hearty
cheers to the sentiment, Willard Fillmore
frst-Fillmore noW-and Fillmore to the last
for our candidate for the Presidency"
Col. Robinson gave notice that there would
be meeting at the same place on Thursday
evening" at which it would be shown that
John G. Fremont could-or would-yet be
elected President.

THE OLD ELM.-The march of progress in
our city has left undisturbed the Old Elm
Tree on the wharf It stands there as mon
ument of the "By--gone days" There are
few citizens who will not recollect the old
ware house, the bluff bank, and hard by, the
Old Elm. It stood there for years at the
head of the only lauding our town then af-
forded, and silently it has witnessed the i'm
provement going on about it; itself the only
relic of the old times. We well remember
the fears entertained by our citizens that in
the change of grade, the old elm would be
taken away. But our Council left it there
undisturbed, and now it is almost an offence
to touch it! Long may it stand as witness
of what we once were and silent spectator
Of what we will be.

Boiiam Coal Mines.

Our citizens will perceive by notice under
the special head, that these mines are now in
full operation, and the Superintendent is ready
to FIJI all orders for city consumption; and
now is the time, while the roads are good, to
lay in winters supply. When the rains
shall have raised the river and brought the de-
mand for steamboats, into competition with
private consumers, orders for the city will
not be so readily filled, and the cost and diff
culties of getting carts to haul it will be much
increased. Now while there are no other GUS
toners for the coal, is the season for individu-
ais to secure supply. Those who have not
yet got CRATES and stoves for coal should be
furnished with them. Eleven bushels of COAL
costing one dollar is equal, in the heat it radi-
ates, to one cord of wood. It costs a dollar
to saw and split cord of wood. Coal is there
fore cheaper than cord of wood as gift
These are facts demonstrated by experiment
and science.
The proprietors of these mines, by very
liberal expenditure of capital, have developed
this valuable deposit of coal-which, but for
them, might have remained unknown for a
generation-and conferred on this city bene-
! fit that is difficult to estimate. What would
be the condition of the city, but more espe-
cially of its manufactures, in season of ice
or low water, with the river and canal both
unnayigable, as during last winter? The loss
and injury might be ten times the whole cost
of the mines. The fact that we possess this
guarantee against the contingencies of short
supply Of fuel, would be strong inducement
in the mind of every shrewd and prudent man,
in selecting a locality for any business requir-
ing regular supply of cheap fuel, to give this
city the preference over Louisville, Cincinnati,
or any other city on the river below Wheel
ing. The stockholders in this mine, we be-
lieve, are nearly all non-residents, and derive
no incidental advantages from their expendi-
lures they have sent their money here SIM
ply for an investment, and we hope the re-
turns will be such as to induce them to enlarge
their works ; or encourage others to begin
other like enterprises, for we are dwelling on
beds of coal, and we need but bore the earth
to find it all around us. These mines should
be the pet of the city, at least, till we get an
other to share its fostering care.
