The Prospect OF working the Present
Cable.

The Scientific American, speaking of the
ocean telegraphing, and the difficulties ex-
perienced in working the Atlantic Cable.
says:
MIR. Field attributes the difficulties to the
use of the instruments of Professors White
house and Thompson, but states that these
will soon be removed, and those of Professor
Hughes will be substituted. In reference to
this telegraph, he says, there is no reason
able doubt that Professor Hughes will be able
to transmit intelligence through the cable
reliably ut the rate of about three hundred
words per minute
Mr.. Field, we think, is incousiderate in
bis statements. In eudeavors to send simple
currents through the ocean cable, these have
sometimes ceased 10 flow for a considerable
period OF time, without any apparent cause;
then they would How again, in the same in
applicable manner. As Hughes instrument
does not generate, but Is operated by these
currents, IL cannot remedy this difficulty, as
! IL is one which belongs to the cable, not 10
the operating instruments. The Hughes
telegraph also requires strong current,
whereas the currents sent through the cable
have been very feeble. The correct opera

Trouble I'm the Virginia Democracy.

1t is somewhat amusing to observe the
bitter animosity and disafftction which exists
among the democracy of Virginia. 1t is
emphatcallv IA house divided against itself
Prominent politicians and journals are
completely at lOggerheads. Seeing this
Improbable condition of things the Alex
andria (Virginia) Seminal has become troubl-
ed, and says:
The new system of procedure towards
members of their own party adopted by a
number of the Democratic journals of our
State and particularly by some of the Rich
mOnd editors is by no means commenting
itself to the appreciation of the people, or
indicating its wisdom by its results. The
fact is, we view these demonstrations both
with pain and alarm; and unless the calm,
impartial. and disinterested mass of the party
come to the rescue, there is great danger,
there is almost certainty, that the invinci-
BILE, indivisible phalanx of the Virginia De-
mOcracy will speedily be replaced by discor-
dant and belligerent factions.
ALREADY we see men high in position
among the Democrats of the State, criticised
and assailed with pens as unsparlng as have
hitherto been used only by our toughest
writer's against our most daring foes.-This il
indeed a most remarkable illustration of the
principle of fraternity, and must work out the
most unhappy consequences. What is to
become of an army that delights to shoot
down its own tried and trusted officers?"
II discord. such as here referred to, existed
alone in Virginia Democracy, the power OF
cohesive attraction. so well understood by
democrats of the old Dominion. would soon
effect its cure but similar want of harmony
is apparent throughout our Union. 1t is a
spoils contest, without principle ship labor
ing at sea with mutiny on board.
Who eau otherwise expect than that such
maraIders, seeking plumber, will delight to
shoot down their oficers!'-B Baltimore PdtriOt

Frightful Accident at the Ohio State
Fair.

Two persons were killed and several were
wounded at the Ohio State fair at Sandusky
on Wednesday. The Cincinnati Times says:
Four celebrated roadsters were brought
into the ring in competition for the prizes.
The hub of one of the vehicles accidentally
raked the wheel of another. and in an instant
split and tore from it every felloe. The
horse attached to the broken sulky bounded
off at fearful speed. AS he ran fearfully
around the circle, the mass of people rushed
away from the enclosure.
The horse, still dragging the broken
vehicle, dashed against the enclosure, broke
down the barrier, and pursued his course.
Turning suddenly to the left. he bounded in
under the ladies' platform, where a number
of men, women, and children, totally ig-
norant of the cause of confusion, were sitting.
As he sprang among them he fell and his pro-
gress was stopped. The scene at this point
at that time was fearful, men, women, and
children flying in every direction, and the
latter screaming with alarm.
Several injured persons were picked up.
An old gentleman named Mallack was taken
up fatally injured. He died in one hour and
a half after the accident. A lady was sitting
holding her little girl by the hands. The
horse fell upon them, and in rising again,
kicked the child in the back. The mother was
pronounced not dangerous. The child died.
Quite number of others were hurt in the
rush. but only slightly.

EB" A LEG-I-sEE.-Honi sod gai NAL pense,
exclaimed one of England's monarchs in the
days of chivalry, as he gracefully presented
beautiful countess her garter, which had
dropped from her leg in ballroom. Whether
the same motto may apply to little incident
that took place in chickering's fashionable
store on Fourth street, we will leave to the
sensitive imagination of the reader.
A lady dressed in the extreme of fashion,
her form and general appearance smacking
largely of the haa Ton, dropped into the
above famous emporium. which at the time
was well filed with customers, and accosting
one of the clerks requested To be shown
some carriers. AS speedily as possible an as
sortment of those much TO be envied elastic
bandages were placed before her. when, sing
ling out pair, she, with the most charming
and easy grace imaginable, elevated foot of
delicious symmetry upon a stool, and in the
most mare manner proceeded to adjust them
in the usual place below the knee. The pro-
ceeding caused somewhat of n sensation among
those present, operating, however, with dit
ferent effect upon the feminine and male por-
ton of the lockers on, the latter being struck
with the graceful shape of the leg and en-
jjoying the exhibition with much gusto, while
the former blushed from their eyebrows to
their own delicate understandings.-Cm Com.

Incident of City Life.

The New York correspondent of the
Charleston Courier gives the following inter
esting incident, under date of the 23d Au-
gust, about valuable piece of property in
New York, now known as the Palace Garden,
the old manor house being occupied for sa-
looms, refreshments, &c.
Quite romance is connected with the life
of a venerable lady who has just died. Mad.
TONELLI departed this life last week and was
buried yesterday. She was native of this
city, but married in early life Frenchman,
who, at his death, left large property
There were several children born to them.
The family lived for number of years, on
what was then a farm in the country; but
which is now in the very heart of the city.
At the corner of Fourteenth street and Sixth
Avenue stands the old mansion which they
inhabited. The old lady herself lived there
until about five years ago. This property
was subsequently, used a nursery for the
children OF the poor; and at present, is known
as the Palace Gardens
At the age of eighty years, Madame Ton
NELL left her sons and daughters, and build
ing fine house farther up town, in Fiftie tn
street, took to live with her young man
named - He was juvenile enough to
be her grandson. Upon her decease it was
found that he inherits all of her vast proper
ty, to the exclusion of her own children. At
her funeral, yesterday, though her offspring
were present, they had nothing to say or do
about it. Mr.. SCHERMERHORN took their
places. In addition to the Palace Gardens,
which Of themselves are a fortune, this old
woman owned a great deal of other valuable
property. There is no doubt but the question
of ownership will be contested, and the entire
romance of the case will be developed in the
courts. The family of TONELLI is well-known
by all the old families of the city, and this
gives greater piquancy to the whole affair
Two sons are prominently known, and one OF
the daughters married a gentleman of some
distinction and wealth.

SNGULAR.-Mrs. Marshall. of Tallahatchee
ouHty. Miss, a lady somewhat advanced in
.ears and very corpulent. cher usual weight
over two hundred pounds went out in her
,rriage few days since to call upon friend,
nd on her return 10 her home was caught
"a a violent storm. A large tree was blown
own, and fell directly across her carriage
between her and the driver. literally smashing
he body of the carriage to atoms, and yet
either she or the driver were injured in the
ightest degree by the tree or the shivered
toms of the carriage body. The steps
!hich were iron and folded up inside the
lrriage, protected her feet from being
rushed beneath the log. The fright threw
FRS. Marshall into a severe spell Of sickness,
nd had the very singular effect also Of turn
lg her head quite gray. The wreck of the

ny- TuApDrus STEVENS is the candidat.

N5- THADDEUs STEVENS is the candidate
of the opposition in the Lancaster district,
Pa. He is an old and implacable foe of the
President, and it is said his chances of cleo
ton are so good, "old Buck" has become
alarmed, and has gone home to Lancaster to
see what can be done to prevent such a
result. His candidate, Mr.. JAMES NJ. HoPKIN's,
with view to run with the popular current,
has taken ground for the admission of Kansas,
independent of the restrictions of the Eng
lish bill, whenever she shall apply with con-
stitution regularly formed. and has also de-
ciared himself in favoro such tariff as will
put every furnace in the State in motion. But
they will not do. Mr.. BUCHANAN must leave
his duties at Washington to interfere to pre-
vent the people of the district from exer-
cising their will. Such a prostitution of the
executive power of the Republic, ought to
bring down upon his head swift condemna-
ton.
