TIE OCEAN TELEeRApn.-A letter
from George Saward, Esq, secretary of
the Atlantic Telegraph Company, dated
at London, Jan. 10, says:
Our arrangements here for the com
plction of the work VIC have in hand arc
progressing satisfactorily, and I trust
and believe that our next attempt will be
crowned with success. The machinery
is being overhauled under the direction
of British and American engineers, and
experiments viii be carefully tried before
sailing next time, with a view to meet
every known or anticipated difficulty. -
The English government has again grant
ed us the use of ships, and the manufac-
ture of new cable to supply the place of
that which was lost is going on satisfac-
torily. 1t is at present intended to take
out $500 miles of cable, being 800
miles more than was thought sufficient
last time.

Plans OF THE MoRMoNs. The New
Orleans Picayune has a very intelligent
correspondent accompanying the Utah
expedition. lie expresses the opinion
that the saints will not show fight, but
will cmigratc next spring to the Sand
wich Islands. The writer says:
am told by gentlemen in our camp,
who have resided long in Salt Lake city,
and are well acquainted with the Mormon
population, that the guerrilla bands now
on Green river and in its vicinity com
prise the elite Of the fighting men whom
brother Brigham can bring into the field.
That they are nearly all Americans, and
so far from being the dupes Of the Nor
mon prophets and apostles, are despcra-
does and outlaws, who believa in neither
God nor devil, but adhere to Mormonism
for the license which it allows them. -
At least three fourths Of the Mormon
population Of Utah, however, are foreign
ers, a large number Of whom are repre-
scented to be mere dupes and simpletons,
with not the least proclivity in the world
for bloodshed and butchery. The Nor
mon leaders, / think, contemplate ma
king good their escape in the spring to
the Sandwich Islands, where they have
already numerous organization. 1t
would not take Brigham long to root
out and upset King Kamehameba. and TO
cause himself to be crowned king in his
stead There he could have full sweep,
with no federal governors, judges or ar
mics to modest him or make him afraid.

The MURDER IN ALLEGANY COUNTY. -
The Cumberland Civilian mentions ru-
NOR that a man was last week arrested
in Kingwood, Va, on suspicion of being
the murderer of Daniel Chisholm. 1t
appears that Mr.. Chisholm had two guns
in his possession at the time he was muir
dercd, one a single and the other a dou-
bic barrelcd. The single barrel, which
was also a shot gun, was found after the
murder to be empty, and the man arrest
ed has hut recently received a discharge
from gun Of shot in his back, upon
which circumstance he has been arrested.
Another report is going the rounds that
man in the employ of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad, near the scene of the
sad affair, has been arrested on suspicion.
The Civilian doubts the guilt of the man
lately arrested in this city on suspicion
of being the murderer.

THE GREAT EARTnoUAKE IN NAPLES.
A letter from Naples, speaking of the
late earthquake, says:
So far back as the 7th of December,
during the night, a loud thunder under
ground had been heard, like the report
of a great mine being blown up. This
was followed by trembling of the earth.
In the commune of Bella, the earthquake
of the 10th leveled hills, turned the land
over and over, and formed deep valleys.
In half an hour before the first shock
took place light, as that of the morn,
hung over the country, and a strong ex-
halation of sulphur was perceived. On
the following morning, after the double
shock, and the thunder, about two miles
distant from the city, piece of ground,
consisting of nearly 600 moggia, was
found encirclod by trench from 10 to
30-palms deep, and of. the same width.
The official journal of last night says =
The description which the Intcndente
Of Bassilicata sends us is such as to draw
tears at every word. The details are too
awful to report publicly, but the disaster
is cruel beyond conception. People speak
confidently of 10000 persons and up
wards official having been destroyed,
and of fully 100000 persons Official
being houseless. And to remedy those
evils, scarcely anything has been done.
Fifteen days after the time, bodies were
rotting under the ruins Some people
were taken out alive on the eighth day !;
pigs had half eaten the bodies of chill
dren who were lying exposed without
any one to help them.

EXECUTION OF MURDERER. Philip
Hawkins, the negro who was convicted
Of the murder of another negro man
some months since, was executed on Fri
day last at Frederick, Nd, at twenty
minutes past twelve, in the presence Of
an immense multitude, probably number
ing 10000. The body hung for twenty
five minutes His neck was instantly
broken by the fall, and animation was
extinct in six minutes.
Before his execution he addressed the
vast multitude in calm, clear voice,
betraying no emotion, but looked pleas
antly on every one and maintained the
frmness of hero to the last. He has
made a confession in which he acknow-
lodges committing the crime whilst under
the influence of liquor. There was no
accident or disturbance, but plentiful
sprinkliug of pickpockets piled their dis
honest craft upon the throng. The con-
duct of Sheriff Elberts on the occasion
was humane but firm.

which its officials in Cuba perpetrated
upon our mail steamer, El Dorado, in

the high seas our Government is bound,
by sense of national honor, to have
atoned for Both the last and the pres

ing efforts to that end. If the Spanish
Government persists in its refusal, it may
lead TO important results, and give us
chance to get Cuba in an honorable man
ner, by national conquest.

10 FlrrY-FoUR Forty OR FIGHT." was
the attractive as well as aliterative cry of the
Democracy, a few years ago. At the time, a
few shrewd old fellows, like John Quincy
Adams and Joshua X. Giddings, prophcsied
that they would back out and back down
and they did. OF course, nobody knew then
that the disputed territory, which was finally
conceded to Great Britain, called New Gale
donia, was another El Dorado, riyallng Cal
ilornia and Australia in the richness of its
mines, and destined speedily to become a
thrifty State. Although the accounts from
Froser's River arc contradictory, still it is
certain that there is to be a rush of emigrants,
from every quarter of the globe, to settle that
country. On the representations of the Off
Gals there, the British Government has alrea-
dy taken steps to re-organize its authorities
and adapt its laws to the anticipated new
State; and our own Government has also
despatched an agent to counsel American cit
liens against collision with "the British I

CANADA AND FRAZER RIVER. The Tor

discoveries at Frazer river;
These gold discoveries present a future
to Canada of the most dazzling kind. The
settlement of the Pacific coast by the British
people will inevitably lead to a demand for
communication across the continent, which
can be supplied through our territory much
better than by that of the United States
We look to see the fertile praries of the Sas-

Canada such as no one has hitherto even
imagined in a dream. The northwest country
will be settled more rapidly than Iowa OF
