THE ATLANTIC CABLE.

The probable profits of the Subma.
rine Telegraph across the Atlantic are
counted up by the Washington CORES
pondent OF the Philadelphia Ledger as
follows:
We do not discover clearly why the
Company should have so slreuuously
sought the aid Of our government. The
patronage Of Que Government is quite
sufficient To sustain tho company, and
the ships of England in every way ca
pablo OF submerging the cable. Tho
company ought, therefore to be sat
ls1ed with the patronage Of the govern
mont of England. The profits on tho
undertaking, will be sufficient for all ex-
pectalion. 20 words per minute will
be 1900 words per hour. $4,000 per
day "t ~ hours. or 100000, which at
10 cents per word will yield gross
revenue of $4,000 or eCl75, 200 ster-
ling, on capital stock of 1880, 900
sieiling, while the actual expense of OPP
eraIing could not exceed $4,000 ster-
ing thus leaving an annual surplus,
lat 10 cents per word,) Of eelS5, 300
sterling; so that three years operating
the cable would liquidate the whole Of
the fundamental stock of the company
aud pay three annual dividends of over
fifteen per cent. The Company, then,
appears somewhat avaricious in its great
anxiety to have an annual subsidy of
$4,000 of our as well as from the Eng
lish Government.
The Submarine Telegraph Cable,
now in course of manufacture, was or
dered To be made only after The gov
eminent of England guaranteed Ger.
tam ANIMAL amount on the capital stock

company therefore commenced opera
lions upon certain data, although it is
Impossible To know, as yet what the to-
tai outlay will be. A cable may be lost !;
a second aud third may be lost the
outlay may thus exceed tho whole a.
noun: of the stock Of the company, and
although the patronage is not more lib
eral than the Importance of the under-
taking warrants, it is enough, and we
cannot perceive why the company sho'd
seek or need the subsidy from our own
government as well as from that Of Emg-

The Virginia Sentinel, published in
Alexandrla, thus bewails the present
woful isolation Of that town:
'Thc Long Bridge is gone at last, &
we are already reaping the fruits. The
floating ice choaks the river, the Geo.
Page, Or. Il. boat, is on the stocks;-
the Washington and Colyer, steaming,
but unable to get their spirits up en-.
ough to venture; the Powhatan plow-
ing her slow and dubious way through
masses of sludge, and stopping here
when she feels like it. The Telegraph
too is down. Here we are! no northern
mail, no telegraph, no messenger from
Washington, no northern news and no
way to help ourselves. We may in
deed so down to the rivers brink, or
climb some house top, and look away
where the capitol rears its skulless
form. But although in sight, we or it
might as well be in the middle of Saba
ia. Congress might dissolve the u
mon, and unless they blew it up with
gun power, we would not know it. If
we could send our voice across the wa
tiers, we would beg our former neigh
bors of Washington, to exert them
selves for us. They can't hear us, but
if they will look down this way, they
may perhaps see US throwing up our
arms i'll distress"

Rail Road Train Plunging into Du
Page RtOer.--The recent heavy rains
washing away embellishments, occasion
ing slides, undermining ties, and swee-
ping away bridges, have been the cause
of delays and much hard swearing, of
failures to make connections and de-
tentions of the mails and general de-
rangement Of the mail and lines in II.
linois and Missouri. If this were all
we should be glad. On the Chicago &
Rock Island Road, as it crosses the Du
Page river, five miles from Joliet, the
heavy rains of Friday had swollen the
river till it had overlooked its banks,
covered the bottom and submerged the
track on both sides of the bridge. A
freight train, consisting of the loco
motive, tender and seven cars loaded
with horses, approached this river on
Saturday. Tho engineer, ignorant of
any obstruction, and confident in the
firmness and safety of the road, though
covered with water, held on his way,
ploughing through stream two feet
deep, guided by the iron track, until
ne reached the bridge, when the appal-
ing fact was revealed that the swollen
river had not only submerged the bridge
butswept it away. Locomotive, ten
der, seven cars, with their freight of
horses, one after another, disappeared
beneath the surface of the stream, deep
enough, by reason Of the freshet, to
hide from view every vestigc of the
train. Down with it went all in charge
OF it, and three of them were lost.
