TuE TrLrGRAPn ExPrRINsNr.--An article in
the n. Y Post, of Monday, written previous to
the receipt of thcnews of tue failure of the tele-
graph experiment, announced in our yesterday
mornings despatch, says that Professor Morse
never expected that the expedition would be
successful, though he is quite sanguine that
cable can be laid and worked between the termi-
nj which the company has selected. Hedoesnot
disguise his conviction that the cable on beard
thecompany's steamers is much too heavy, and
that one ofhalfits weight, or less might be laid
and worked effectively.
His views upon the subject, and the conse-
quences to which they have led are said to have
been the controlling reasons for his being left
out Of the Board of Direction, at the election
which Immediately proceeded tho reduction in
the price of the stock.
0fcourse the company did not make the ca
bic rs heavy as they did, except to increase
their chances oflayng it successfully; and moth
ing but trial will probably ever determine
whether Professor Morse's view is correct.
His opinion unquestiomably possesses great
weight, aud will be carefully considered ifany
new experiment is made. There are other pro-
visions which have been suggested tous, against
the accidents to which the plans for laying sub
marine cables have thus far proved to be liable,
which we will submit without argument for
what they are worth:
"A cable cOilsa cannot be uncOiled without
kiaIs:
Therefore, the cable must be reeled to be
laid.
THE necessity for two vessels to lay the Gu
bic, quadruples (and rnore) therisk of accidents
Therefore, tho cable must be laid from one
ship.
''Thc voyage to England is easier, shorter and
safer than the voyage from England:
Therefore, the svessel with the cable should
start from this side.
There is one vessel, and one only, of tom
mage aud room sufficient to carry the whole of
tie cable, TO wit: the Levathnn:
"Therefore, the cable, il ever laid at all. must
be slowed on n succession of reels in the Levia-
than, and the Leviathan must sail from our own
shores"
If these views should be deemed to possess
any value, it would be easy for the Lcviathan 10
bring the cable here TO this country and lay it
on her first trip home.

a KNoTTr QUESTION. are truly appre-
hensive that Wheeling will monop"lize the
dormitories of the institution Gunatic .isylum)
to the exclusion Of all other sections, the editor
of the Times unfortunately in the lead."-
Weston Herald.
1t is difficult to judge what the Herald really
means by the above insinuation. 1t may mean
that the editor of the Wheeling Times is to be
the first lunatc admitted within its walls, or
it may mean that he is only to lead thither the
tiISt batch of lunatics, from this city, when the
establishment is prepared for their reception.
But l fear the editor of the Weston Herald
has deeper meaning than either of these given
above. The wicked man means 10 insinuate
that all our citizens who place themselves under
his leadership are fit subjects for lunatic aSy-
lum, and ought to be sent there accordingly.
The Times of to-day says: "Whcn we ac-
company tho people of Wheeling on any journey
or advise them to a certain course of action. We
Will be certain to take the lead in it"
1t is impossible 10 say how many lunatics we
may have within our city who may require
leader. q, keeper-but the indications at pres
cut are that the number is very small and will
not be likely to monopolize the dormitories of
tho Weston institution to any great extent, not
withstandIng the fears Of the Herald to the
contrary.
AS tho Herald is likely to obtain a largo ac,
cession to the number of its readers when the
institution is completed, we hope it will cease

Moa,oosrsx tllo beginning of limo,

hoRSioSlsN-Since tue beginning OF tlmc,
various have been tho phonomena which have
startled mankind. In all tho departments of
natural science or human inventions, the world
has at times been compelled to stop and wonder
while at some strange and striking exhibition
No source has been moro fruitful in singular
occurrences than religion. Every generation has
witnessed the origin and progress, and some
times the decline and fall of some doctrine, some
singular sect which has been new if not mon.
strous. Every day seems to have new if not
false prophet, and we see to the dishonor of
our race, that those succeed best who frame
their doctrines so rs to indulge the basest pas
Sions Of our nature. From the beginning Of
time no sort of religion has called forth moro
attention than that which now disgraces our
nature and nation, and dcsecrates the virgin
plains of Utah. Mohameiism and the enthusi-
asm4 Of the Crusades can be attributed to the
ignorance of tho dark ages But it is truly
singular to see, at this age of the world, a sect
which has all the revolving traits which attended
the darkest of times, without any of the noble
bravery or wild poetry with which they were
also invested-while all the country around is
blessed with the benignant light of civil and relig-
ious liberty, there seems to be one black and fes-
tering spot which withstands all natures healing
powers. The Mormons-inaugurated within
few years by one who proved to be an impostor,
now number some millions That the doctrine,
coming as it did when christianity seemed to
prevade every portion of our country, should
unacceptable to any ofthe people, seems strange,
but that it should be SO popular is almost in
credible. 1t is mournful to SEQ the prevalence
in the loveliest spotofour nation, where it would
seem religion in its native purify should flourish
of this phase of moral and religious insanity
which is the most pernicions to good order in
society. The tenacity with which these people
cling to their tenels shows that the nass of
them are sincere in their belief. We sec them
laboring To bnild for themselves comfortable
habitalions spending years Of toll in erecting
cities ami towns, and when driven from them,
commencing again the same toll and labor in
more westward location. These removals may
be us much the result Of discretion on the part
of the Mormon leaders as of force on the part
of those who are opposed to their existence
For it can hardly be possible for them to exist
if they allow those of more happy professions
to settle among them. 1t cannot bcpossibie for
such monstrous doctrines TO flourish side by
side with the beauties Of primitive christianity
and unless they arc removed beyond tho in
tlucnce of true religion they must be dissipated
and destroyed

TuE LATEST GOLD Discovery IN IowA.-The
editor of the Dubuque Express and Herald, has
received specimens ofso-called gold from Audu-
bon boz county, which turn out to be simply sui
but utterly worthless. The man on whose farm
they were found is willing to sell for a thousand
dollars an acre. We believe very small ouanti-
ties ofgold have been found in Iowa, but it is
very likely that most of the alleged discoveries
in that State are piece with those in Audubon

of his elaborate report has just been issued,

The English company, owning the line of
steamers on the South American coast, have
given directions for his free passage and that of
his instruments, &C., and evince the deepest
and kindest interest in the undertaking. The
same may also be said of the proprietors of the
line from New York; and thus the expedition,
from first to last, will be sustained mainly by
private enterprise alone.

ILLINOIS PoLuICs.-DOuglas and Lincola.-
A Chicago correspondent of the Cincinnati Ga
sette, writes:
"To attain success the Judge has commenced
the use of those courteous appliances which a
shrewed politician so well knows how to use,
while Lincoln, wrapped up in his charming sim
picity, takes things as they come, believing that
by his cause he will conquer. It will be tight
race, but if the latter named gets his mettle
heated, he will be victorious The feeling of
the people is greatly in his favor in the North
ern districts, and his party hope, by yielding
county offices to the Americans, to procure the
return of Republican Representatives.
One noticeable feature in this campaign will
be-if it continues Us its opening forfendS-the
absence of that personal abuse, by which Judge
Douglas has been used to sprinkle savory spices
into his harangues and orations. Our Republican
party is nolonger Black republican, but has COM
pletely bleached out, while those oath-bound
traitors, the Know Nothings, us he was wont to
denOminate them, have become my American
friends" But Lincoln will continue in his old
syle, interlarding his discourses with sallies of
wit, well directed and admirably quoted, so that
they tell.
The Buchanan men hold meeting on Thurs
day evening, when general trouncing is ex-
pected to be administered to both of tie con-
testants, WHILE on the same day, Mr.. Douglas
proceeds to Bloomington, where he speaks,
thence to Ashland on Friday, by special train;
thence to Lincoln, and off to Springfield, where
he spearks. Mr.. Lincoln remains dormant, for
