| HE TELEGRAPHIc CABIE.-Ihe following
letter, by correspondent of the London
Times, dated Queenstown, July 80, will be
found very interesting, as giving the latest
experiments towards laying down the sub
marine telegraph:
| The entire squadron, consisting OF i've mag
nihcent ships of war, now about to proceed to
the consummation of this great enterprise, are
at this time anchored in the harbor OF Queens
town. They consist of the Niagara, Captain
! Hudson; the Susquehannah. Captain Joshua
Sands; the Agamemnon, Master Command
er Noddall the Cyclops, Car tain Dayman !;
and the Leopard, Capt. Wainwright.
The Agamemnon arrived this morning only,
having been engaged during the trip from
| Greenwich in the very valuable service OF
testing practically the form and suitability of
the machinery to be used for paying out the
cable. The mechanical appliances for regu-
lating the delivery of the cable into the sea,
were kept continually in motion by the small
engine on board, which is connected with
them the sheaves and gearing worked with
great facility and precision, and so quiet that
at short distance from them their MOTION
could scarcely be heard. A l3-iheh shell was
attached to the end of spare coil OF the At
lantic cable, for the purpose OF sinking 1t
rapidly with strain upon 1t to the bottom,
and was then cast into the sea, drawing after
1t sufficient quantity of slack to enable 1t to
take hold of the ground and so set the ma
chinery in motion
The paying out then commenced at the rate
OF two, three, and four knots an hour re-
spectively. The ship was then stopped, and
the cable was hauled up from the bottom of
the sea with great facility, by connecting the
small engine to the driving pinion geared to
the sheaves.
When the end was brought up to the sur
face, it was found that the shell had broken
away from the loop by which it had been fas-
tened for the purpose of lowering it.
On the following day length of cable was
run out and hauled in with perfect success
opposite the Isle of Wight, attached to an an.
Choir.
The speed was increased in this case to five
knots.
During the afternoon of the same day
length was run out, having fastened to the
end Of it a log of timber, and after having
been towed with mile and half of cable,
was coiled in again with success.
On Wednesday, about halfway between
the lands End and the coast of Ireland,
another length was rnn out at the rate of six
and half knots per hour and subsequently
hauled in. The Agamemnon then steered
for Cork, and reached Queenstown harbor at
four o'clock on Thursday all on board being
more than ever satisfied at the success of the
enterprise.
P. S. QueenSto,on, August $3.50 P. NJ.
All the ships are now steaming out of the
harbor for Yalentia.

refuse to support the candidate of their party
for Governor, propose to issue call for a
mass convention of those who sympathize
with them, for the nomination Of new can

nal sympathizing with their extreme views,
propose to start campaign weekly paper to
support their candidate, after getting him
nominated. We imagine there is danger this
movement will die " a borning." There are
no signs of enough opposition to Mr., Banksis
election among the Republicans to make a
respectable bolt. We cannot name single
man of any position in the party, or in the
politics of the State, who is ready to lend
his fame and his fortunes to such move.
ment. The general tendency of matters for
the last few weeks has been quietly but eff

LIBERTY IN TENNEssEE.-An account was
recently published of the brutal treatment of
two slaves by order, or with the consent of
one Col. Netherland of Rogersville, Tenn 1t
was condensed from a supplement of nine or
ten columns of the Knoxville Presbyterian
Witness. We have since learned from an
exchange that the Rev. Mr.. Sawyer, who
published the statement, had twelve hundred
copies struck off, one hundred of which were
in his own possession, and the rest at the
printing Office. Col Netherland heard of the
paper and went with his lawyer to the office,
and by dint of threats made the printer de-
stroy the eleven hundred he had, and sent
him to the printer for the other hundred.
Mr.. Sawyer refused to give them up, after
taking the advice of lawyer, and mailed
them Immediately one of them we have
seen. Mr.. Sawyer will preach his farewell
sermon to that brave church soon, and it is to
be hoped that he will give 10 his people some
ideas on the subject of freedom and qleck.
He takes charge of church at Mount Etna,
Indiana, after leaving Rogersville.

A YrReINIAN IN New YoRK.-Some time
since Mr.. M, of Virginia, a gentleman of
rare intellectual endowments, as we'll as of
superior physical strength, was in this city.
Passing up Broadway one afternoon, he step
ped into an auction room and bid off one or
two articles, when he was asked to walk in
to back office. In few minutes a bill was
presented to him for $50. Mr.. Nj. examined
the suddenly increased BILL and then, in
manner decidedly cool, arose and said, Sab,
yes, thought when came in this was re-
gular and respectable auction house, but 1
was mistaken, and / find it is one of the re-
gular "mock auction swindling concerns"
"This," said one of the attendants, sis a
respectable auction house, and, turning the
key in the door, 1--WE will let you know, sir,
that we are no swindlers, and that you must
pay this bill. "-"Now," said Mr. M, "you
are fixing things right, aud understand
matters, and we will see who opens that door
first" At this he drew his arm back, and
before the ''mock auctioneer" could stake
note of time, he found himself heaped up
on the floor, aud his companion in rascality
knocked into the outer room, through the
door, to the no small astonishment of outsid-
ers. Mr.. M. deliberately left the room, and
heard no more Of the bill Of $50, as the
swindlers found they had locked up the
wrong customer. Mr.. M. often amused his
friends by giving them ON account OF his FIRST
attendance upon an auction sale in New

FLoM WAsHINGToN.--W Washington, August
ID. learn today, that Mr.. Brodhead, the End
Comptroller is to go out, on the rotation prin-
ciple, and that James Madison Cuts, the
father-in law of Senator Douglns, now chief
clerk of the Office, is to succeed him. 1t is
also decided that the third, fourth, fifth, and
sixth auditors shall be subjected to the same
operation, and also the solicitor to the Trea-
sury. The sixth auditor, Mr.. Phillips, of
Virginia, has made a strong flight against the
rotation principle, backed by all the political
weight of his State-a State which, l am glad
to say, still adheres to the Washingtonian
principle that faithful and capable officers
should not be subject to removal with the
quadrennial change of the chief executive.
Mr.. Buchanan has made up his mind to
recall Mr.. Daniel, from Turin, and Mr.. Ma
son, from Paris, some time before next Janu-
airy. l am confident of this from various
circumstances. The President has declared,
even to some whom he really wished to retain
in the public service abroad, that he should
apply the rotation principle. indiscriminately,
to all who have been in office for four years,
as Ministers or Consuls, if he applied it to
any. That he has determined to apply it to
all, in order to get rid of few, am induced
to believe Parties concerned know the fact
by this time.
Mr.. Buchanan has some reasons for leaving
Mr.. Daniel where he is. Mr.. Daniel is Of
the same order of ultra politicians with Mr..
Prior, quite as able, and much better. He
would become thorn in the side of the ad-
ministration, as political editor at home. If
Mr.. Buchanan brave this opposition he will
be entitled to some credit for his independ-
ence and firmness.
He would willingly part with Mr.. Mason
on friendly terms, for they were emhaxked,
not long ago, in the same boat, and have both
dashed on the breakers at Ostend.
MI. Buchanan was saved from the wreck.
The other two voyagers were not. They
were not such swimmers as he. Nor were
they buoyed up, as he was, by an all potent
middle state interest Cor. Com. AdU.
