LIFEs LAST HOURS

Life's aast boars are grand, testing hours

The Atlantic NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. pstsil

The Atlantic Telegrapb-lntcrestins Details.
In 1851, writer in the London Athen-
cum suggested the practicabiiity of trans
Atlantic cable. The suggestion fell still
born. In 1858, experiments demonstrated
that the telegraph could be worked in con-
tinuous circuit of over 1000 miles, and that
the conditions present in insulated wires un-
der the ground and beneath the sea are strict
ly analogous, and established, as was believ-
ed, the practicability of working the Trans
Atlantic Telegraph. In 1854 the American
Company was formed, Messrs. Peter Cooper
ard Cyrus w. Field, taking leading and
cnergetie part in the organization Charters
and grants were obtained from the govern
tSeats of Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, New
Brunswick, England and the United States
Great Britain granted en annual subsidy OF
EI4,o0o sierAng aniil the net profits of the
company reach 8 per cent. per ennum, and
two steamships also. Other valuable grants
were made in aid of the enterprise, and the
Company was then known as "The New
York, Newioudtaad, and London Telegraph
Company" Prof. Morse was appointed e.
lectrician, sad nasaerors experiments and
tests were made by him in connection with
Messrs- Whitehoase and Bright. In 1856
the Vice President, Mr Field, visited London
with view nf making arrangements to ad-
yaace the undertaking. The Atlaptic Eel
egraph Company was tormed, comprising the
holders of three hundred aud fifty shares ef
one thousan nd pounds each. Mr. Bright be-
came acting engineer. and Ar. Whi,eboase
electrician. The route was chosen after
many soundings and much investigation. 1t
was aseerlained that the Atlantic nowhere
exceeded in depth $4,000 feet, aud that the
basin Of the ocean is long trough or groove
extending between the continents, almost
from pole to pole. The hollow OF this basin
is so great that the lowest depth OF the At
lantic is nine miles beneaih the highest peak
Of the Andes. In most places the boltum is
much broken up and very Irregular. The
Southern routes were all found i,npraciicable
as tracks for the Atlantic Gable.
Lieut.. Manry pointed out the telegraphic
plateau as lying between Cape Race IN New
fuundland, and Cape Clear IN lreiand. Ths
plane Is scarcely la,oo0 feet below tae level

calls attention to an error into which Col. II. NJ.
Polk Of jackson parish, also member Of the Legis-
ature, has fallen, in a communication written by
him, and lately republished in the Baton Rouge
Advocate, accompanied by editorial comments Of a
favorable character Col Polk, observes our cores
pondent says that the African Apprentice bill passed
the House of Representatives without time being
allowed that body to consider its merits. This, Mr..
Claiborne remarks is not the fact. He states what
we happen know to be the truth that the aforesaid
bill was several days before its introduction,
and was so thoroughly understood and so generally
approved that the House was prepared TO act at
upon it, Besides after the Senate had discussed the
measure for several days and nights motion was
made in the House to request the Senate to return
the BILL This motion was voted down by an over
whelming majority the distinguished Representative
from the Parish Of Benville, Hon. Henry Gray, who
was absent when the bill passed, voting with the
| majority, and declaring himself friendly to that
aud all other projects calculated to advance Southern
| interests
| Col Claiborne, in his communication, denies that
the Constitution laws are violated by the importa
ton of free blacks, and as the Legislature has the
power to pass all needful laws in relation to negroes
free or otherwise sees no danger to our State utter
ests likely result from the adoption of the Appren
tice system in the form proposed
