DEAR SIR First of all let me thank YOU

things of interest. and think | should be I'M
willing to do without it. have not written
YOU until now, because wanted time to look
around before l said much of this country.
Like all new places at the West, every
thing here is crude and but "half made up.
Few buildings are fully built. The "half
done" system prevails here, and for two rea-
SONS. First. for want of means second for
want of Il disposition to do things right.

the community. Many come here solely to

with them. Many drink much whiskcy.

to keep what offices they have. We have a
dozen Doctors in BoonSboro and not business

them keep fat. The reason is. when they do

- There seems to be no doubt of the fact
that the Utah expedition has been abandoned
1t has looked like 4 sham from the beginning
brigham is to be allowed to remain sovereign
dictator of the territory and set the authority
and laws of the United States at defiance with

ton should proceed. according to the plans
already fixed. But Gov Walker was very anx-
ious to retain the troops in Kansas. Hcpro-
tc>ScS to apprchcnd difficulties II the October
election. 1t is said that the administration
will ask Congress to increase the army To
10000 men. The meaning of these things is
evident. 1t is more important to the demo
cratic party to subduc the free state men of
Kansas than the rebel, of Utah. The South
cares nothing about the rebellion in Utah; it
rather likes brigham for his polvgamv and
his contemp, for negroes. and considers it
highly probable that if allowed to 90 on I'M
checked he will make Utah slave state. So
brigham is to be let alone and Kansas sub
dued. SGuatter sovereignty is TO be crushed
out and Mormon sovereignty toleratcd-both
for the benefit of slavery.

The London 1in',s gives currency to the
statement that new effort to lay the cable
will be made this fall and expresses Tie
greatest confidence in its success. Blu, it is
more probable that the new attempt will he
DELAYED till another summer; for this would
appear the most iudicious ard safe course.
The Timts S;,,>:-
If the recent attempt has proved nothing
else. it hiss proved. at least. that the immersion
of the wires At great depths rather assists than
impcdcS the flight ofthc electric messenger.
1t has proved that the cable can be paved ont
without difficulty when the water under the
ships keel is 1000 fathom> deep 1t has
proved that the sudden transition from the
shadows to great depths can be readily over
come. In word, We now know by experience
what had been affirmed in thcorv-that the
electric cable can be laid down in the depths
ofthc ocean between the Old and New World,
and that. when laid down, it will convey the
spark from shore to shore with uncrrng GER
tainty. This. at least. is some comfort in the
midst of our disappointment
Tn. cause of the accident appears to have
been solely the carclcsSncss or stupidity of a
namelcss mechanic. who improperly appliclthc
brakes and stopped the paving out machinery
at the wrong moment. There has not vet been
any explanation of the circumstance of IT.

to this interesting point i'll the history of the

and dclicacy ofjudgment were required There
was a deficiency III the scientific staff on board

rcctors must have foresccn that the entire sue

pend upon the prudence and Judgment of
the engineers who had the supervision of the

" The people of Kansas have determined
to participate in the ctobcrtcrritorialc election

the aid ofthrir independent military organiza-
ton, which is represented to be large, power

the other hand, is greatly increasing its
military force in the territory, with the view
of enforcing such regulations as may be made
for excluding the real citizens from the polls.
and securing another and partial vote in favor
of slavery. There is under present crcum-
stances. danger of scrious-nay, terrible
collision in the territory at the period of the

vote themselves, and to prevent Missourians
