THE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH.

The London Observer OF the 9th June,
remarks -
The weather has been, so far as the latest
information states, most favorable for the
success Of the undertaking. The squadron
left Keyham harbor rather more than a
fortnight since, ard the interest which for
months past has been felt in the success of
the great attempt has now risen to an al
most feverish state of anxiety. The last
steamer from America brought no news Of
having sighted the telegraph squadron, but
it is confidently expected that the mail pack
ct due this day at Liverpool will bring some
information respecting the proceedings,
" which may 81 il anticipation Of that expect

The first message which will be sent along
the wires will be, as we stated on a prcvi-

to the President IF Che United States. The
message carefully sealed las been sent to
the United States Legation, and will not be
opened until I'll the telegraph is perfectly rea-

THE CAMPAIGN IN ILLINOIS

Tile CAMPAIGN In ILLINOIS.
-Aon, S. A. Douglas, as has been stated
by telegraph, made speech at Chicago re-
Gently, in reply to Mr. Lincoln, his Repub-
lean opponent. There were 10000 per-
sons present. He reatfirmed the Cincinnati
platform and Mr.. Ruchanan's inaugural
He exto)led the Crittendcn bill as honest
and as the very best proposition for the prac-
tlcal illustration Of popular sovereignty. He
claimed that the struggle with Lecompton-
ism was for the integrity Of principle. That
struggle was triumphant, and Lecompton-
ism was virtually Abandoned by its friends,
and had been defeated forever. He had
opposed the English bill, although praeti-
cally it sent back the constitution to be ac-
ceptcdl or rejected by, the people, because
the manner as we'll as the form Of that Sub
mission was at variance with every just
principle of popular government 1T was. a
submission Of the constitution to tie people,
with the threat that if they did not. accept
a slave constitution, its s., 900 inhabitants
should not come in as o free State until it had
I $4,000 lie could never countenancc such
q discrimination between. free and slave
States. Nr. horglas proceeded to answer
Mr.. Llncoln's crusade against the Supreme
Court, on account Of the bred Scott decis-
ion. He could sanction no crusade, he
said, agairt tie highest judicial tribunal in
the land, nor yet was he prepared to yield
obedience to the law, as expounded by that
Court. He did not agree with Mr. Lin
coin, that it was great wrong to deprive
negro Of the rights Of citizenship. He
did not believe they were ever intended to
be citizens. Our. government was founded
| on white basis, and was created by white
men. True humanity REQUIRED that ne
groes and other inferior races should be per-
mitted g enjoy only such rights and privil-
eyes as they were dapaL'e Of exercising,
consistent with the good Of society Mr..
Douglas adverted to the necessity Of main
tanning the organization Of the democratic
party. While there might be differences
of opinion with respect to the true construc-
ton Of particular articles Of the creed, party
federation, he said must be INDUCED. -
There SHOULD be no prescription Of sound
democrats because Of such differences. -
Government Office holders and republicans
worfFziiag in unison for tic purpose Of de-
feating the regular democratic nominations,
would be like the Russians at Sabastopol,,
who kept on firing, without caring which
they hit, French or English.

JH- lHc SUlulnpus uuSetbo, III uiluhlhb W llle
inmates of the Ohio Pentontiary, says:
But the most vile specimen of humanity that
ever polluted the inside of these gloomy walls is
a woman. Her name is Huldah Morrison. She
is about 30 years oil age, and if ever there IA
devil incarnate wrapt up in human form she is
the individual. She was sent from Ashtahuu
county, under a sentence of 30 years, for setting
the Iutirmary on fire. by which fendish act several
of the poor unfortunate inmates lost their lives
| perishng in the flames. The horrible imprcca-
tons and the vile actions OF this miserable woman
actually causes1 the female convcts to stop their
ears, and to protest against being immured in the
same room with such a filthy wretch
About two months ago she endcavored to
starve to DEATH and for SeUsa ,occks she refused TO
partake of particle OF food. At the end Of that
time she lay in stupor, and il was supposed that
the world was about to be rid other. Upon being
reused from the state Of lcthargy she was in, she
opened her eyes, breathed out n curse or two aud
once more relapsed into an insensible condition
With much difficulty the physician of the prison
succeed in forcing.a little milk down her throat
at times, and after day or two she began to re-
vive. She is now nearly restored to her usual
health, but there is no improvement in her be-
havior. The Warden contemplates fitting up a
cell for her special accommodation, her obscene
and blasphemous language making such course
absolutely necessary.
1t may seem rather tough yarn, but can be
proven by the best of evidence, that this woman
did actually live 8soen Weeks without swallowing
particle of food. We took special pains to be
satisfied OF the truth of this statement, before
daring to publish such an extraordinary instance
Of voluntary starvation.

HoNEsr LABOR Labor, honest labor, is
mighty aud beautiful. Activity is The ruling
element of lie, aud its highest relish. Luxuries
and conquest are the result Of labor we can
imagine nothing without it, The nobest man
OF earth is he who puts his hands cheeriully and
proudly to honest labor Labor is business
and ordinance of God. Suspend labor, and
where is the glory and pomp of earth-the fruits,
fields, and places, and iashionings of matter.
for which men strive and war? Let the labor
scorner look around him, look to h mself and
learn what arc the trophies Of toll. From
the crown of his head TO the sole of his foot,
unless he is a Carib, nude as the beast, he is q
debtor and slave OF toll. Where gets he the
garmentng and cquipage? Let labor answer.
Labor--which makes music in the mine. and
the furrow, and at the forge. Oh scorn labor
do you--man who never yet earned morsel Of
bread. Labor pites you. proud fool, and laughs
you to scorn. You shall pass to dust forgotten;
but labor will drive on forever, glorious in con.
quests and monuments.
