THE ATLANTIC CABLE.

New YORK, Sept. 8.-A ,communica-
tion received from Cyrus w. Field, says
that dispatch from Newfoundland in-
forming him that though the cable remains
perfect, no message has been received over
it for several days. He adds that be does
not know the cause, but conjectures that
it is occasioned by chance in the shore end
at Valentia, Ireland
When the steamship Africa sailed from
Liverpool it was known that the connect
ion of Professor Whitehouse with the At
lantic cable would cease about the lst
inst. 1t would therefore be more proba-
BILE the working of the cable ceased from
some of his or his partizans. Professor
Thompson was to succeed Professor
Whilehouse, and it is quite possible that
the delay is caused by the experiments of
the former, which were regarded as per.
fectly childish by practical telegrapers. $,
1t is also known that Atlantic Compa-
ny have arranged with Prof Hughes to
[place his instruments at Valentia and Trim
|ity about the goth or 25th instant, and
from experiments made by him at Plymoth,
there can be no reasonable doubt that he
will be able to work at the rate of three
hundred words per hour.

E Gen. Cass, who must be nearly
80, is feeble, but is hard at work. This
extraordinary mans career is like study
and an example He has lived a blame
less life, and has grown to distinction al
most entirely by his own efforts. He is
now one of the richest men in the Union.
He invested heavily in the town of De-
troit, Michigan, of which he was q pioneer
and the growth, of the West especially
since the railroad system has extended its
powerful influence, has vastly increased the
value of his property. He is said to be
worth four or FIVE millions. And yet, with
all his wealth, he lives frugal and alb
stemious life. The management of bis
vast estate is confded to his enterprising
son in law, Mr.. Ledyard, who resides in
Detroit. =.

seldom selected to give effect TO new-made
creeds, however lowly they may abase
themselves to obtain such questionable
honor. More disinterested men than him
self, having less hope of promotion and
therefore no aspirations, appreciate the
present drift Of things. They understand
perfectly that the restoration of Corwin
destroys every probability that even Ohio
will vote for Chase in the next Republi-
can Convention.
This new phase in the Republican par
ty is signal to every man who has left
the Democracy to act with Republicanism,
to abandon it at once. The Anti-Slavery
demonstration of that party has always
been an empty delusion, and it has about
ended in a contemplate failure The
abandonment of the "No more Slave
State" doctrine is complete and total
surrender. The election of Corwin with
the prominence he will naturally possess
in the House of Representatives, will be
the death blow of the boasted Slavery
restriction policy of the Republican party.
The next opposition manifesto in Con-
gress will omit, or entirely subordinate,
the negro question. When either is done
the Republican party as now organized
will also be done. Those who have nc
wish TO- die with it, nor to share the dis.
grace certain to attach to the manner o
its destruction, must without loss of time
abandon it to its fast coming doom. OhlI

Now that John Burns has suffered the

being excited as to whatawillbe done with

horrible affair. Myers will lie tried at the
next term OF the Circuit Court as an ac-l

who testified upon the trial cf Burns, that.
after. she succeeded in wrestling the handy
billy from Burns. upon the night of the
tragedy, Myers took itgfrom her and gave
it back to the former, is now confined in.

it is ,expecred TO sustain the charge now
pending against Myers. tits hardly pos.
sible that Burns statements to the effect
that Myers struck the woman with q stone,
can be corroborated so as to make him q
particeps criniinis. 1t is the opinion
therefore, of legal gentlemen who under-l
stand the case, that the most that can be
done with Myers is to imprisou him in
the Penitentiary, which will doubtless be,
the result of his triali Myers, although
not more than seventeen or eighteen years
of age, has passed through most of our
courts apd has been convicted of various
charges which subjected him to imprison-

and twelve remain to be elected. In or

the Senate, they must elect eight out Of
twelve to be chosen, as large majority
Of the Senators holding over are Doug
Lad men. The election of eight of the
twelve, as Republicans, is utterly impos-
sible; indeed it is conceded that Judge
Douglas will have the Senate certainly

they appeared, they began to aIight upon
whatever object they, came in contact with
and to gice 6itM to young insects ready
sotnged, which III u few seconds ascended
into The air, while the old ones threw
themselves into violent contortions, which
continued until they succeeded in ridding
themselves of their wings--after which
they appeared to feel much relieved, and
ran briskly about upon the ground, al
though they had never possessed the pow
er of fight. In an hour. the earth was
alive with these fallen insect-angels, ant

Breese Withdraws from the canvass

Breese Withdraws from the Canvass.
1t seems by dispatch in another col
umu, that Mr.. Breese or Breeze, is
endcavoring to get up a breeze in political
circles by Withdrawing from the Illinois
canvass as the candidate of the National
Democrats for the u. S. Senate. Mr..
Breeze must be funny man--he must be
a wag--he must have great deal, a very
big bvmp of self esteem in his head. We
presume that Breese's candidacy was not
known to above two dozen people in the
United States outside of Illinois, Yet
Breese hung on until he began to have a
painful realization of the fact that he would
not probably get a single vote, and just
as he realized this fact, seemed to have
occurred TO him that there was chance
for getting his name in the papers by a
formal withdrawal Mr.. Breese's mag
nanimity should not be suffered to so
unrcwarded.
