The ATLANTIC TELEaRApH.-Tal. P
Shaffner publishes letter stating his be-
lief that current of electricity Of nc
known force or mode of generation can be
transmitted through submerged wire fol
distance of three thousand miles. He
predicts that the cable will be laid a thou
sand or more miles, and then be found un-
available for telegraphing. "In this diem
ma the company will have the cable bro
ken again, and the accident charged to
Providence. This will be the finale. y
The transmition of an electrical current
through so much submerged wire was
the most formidable of threatened difficu' :
ties. It might have been decided by
dropping the cable into some quiet bay,
and experimenting there. A telegraph
across the Continent, over Behering's
Straits, through Northern Asia and Eu-
rope, is likely to be built before The pres
ent cable is submerged. The longest ca
bile now in existence stretches from Var
ma 10 Balaklava, across the Black Sea, a
distance of $40 miles. This affords nc
criterion for Judgment Of the success

RUST IN WHEAT.-We hear the most
discouraging reports from the surrounding
country, of the rust in wheat. It is re.
ported in many localities that wheat viii
not be harvested, and in others that the
yield will not be five bushels to the acre
of merch&ntable aftiels. Barley, it is
said, similarly affected. Such being the
case, those having old grain on hand may
as well hold on little longer, when they

4 DIsUNION SCHEME.

| The following letter from a welI-knowr
disunionist appears in the Atlanta (Ga.,
Intelligencer. The most interesting fea-
ture Of the scheme of disunIon foreshado W.
ed in it is the proposition that the demo
cratic party Of the cotton states be made
the instrument for destroying tie confed.
eracy:
Montgomery, Ala, June 10; '5e.
DEAR SIR: Your kind favor of the l4tl,
is received.
hardly agree With YOU that goneral
movement can be made that will Clean ont
the Augean Stable. If the democracy
were overthrown, it would result in Civ
ing place to q greater and hungrier swarm
of flies.
The remedy of the south in such a
process. 1t is in a diligent organization
of her true men, for prompt resistance to
the next aggression. 1t must come, in
the ma ture Of things. No national party
can save us; no sectional party can do it.
But if we could do as our. fathers did, Or
ganize committees of safety all dtet the
cotton states, (aiid it is only in them that
we can hope for any effective movement,
we shall fire the southern heart-instruct
the southern niind-give courage to each
other, and at the proper moment, by one
organized, concerted action, 1--WE can precipi
tate the cotton states into a revolution.
The idea has been Swallowed forth in the
south by Ruffin-has been taken up and

name of League of United Southerners,,'

RIh abiding to the case of J. W.
Sharp in Judge Miller's court, we copied
froffs the Madison Journal the hope express
sed that he would carry the decision up to
the review of a superior court. Unfortun
ately; in all matters of controversy invo!v-
ing less than $4,000 in the decision, thci,
is no court superior to Judge Miller's; and
Mr.. Sharp is without any remedy of that
nature. No despot is more absolute or
his throne tlIan l. Judge Miller in matters
of this Kind in bis court. He interprets
the law and applies it, and from his decis-
ion there is no appeal. 1t would be diff
cult to imagine q more fagrant case of in
Justice than this decision against Mr.. Sharp
involves. 1t prohibits persons from hav-
ing their mail matter directed where
they please, and prohibits any persons
from receiving and carrying it to them,
thus outraging the pisiaest principles of
private right; while, at the same time, it
is in express contradiction Of the United
States law on the subject, which excerpts
all such letters carrying from the law
against private expresses. But thee Is no
appeal nor redress; and SO far as Mr.Sharp
is concerned, he might as well live under
King Bomba as in the free state Of Wis
Free Dem.

WINE CHEAPER THAN WATER.
Paris correspondent under date of June
25th writes:
"Complaints are made from every part
of France that the wells and springs are
driving up, and it is said that wine will be
cheaper than water this year. The wine
crop, it is said, promises to be the largest
ever seen; old wine casks cannot be- had
now for love or money, and the potters are
busy making huge jars, like the oil jars
of the Arabian Nights, for the superabun-
dant grapes.

THE CROps IN ILLrNOIs.-A cores
pendent of the Chicago Press and Tribune
writing from Galesburg under the date Of
July the 10th says:
The farmers hereabouts have all "gone
to grass" Hay is the only good CROP
In Woodford, Tsxewell, Fulton, Peoria
and Knox Counties, through which l have
just passed, the wheat, Writer and Spring,
excepting the latter in Knox County, is
badly struck with rust. Many pieces will
not be harvested. Oats equally bad; corn
with the favor Of good fall cannot be
more than half the usual yield. This sud
den bightirg Of prospects is sorely felt BY
our farmers. They say there has been no
time in this State so discouraging AS the
present-probably somewhat on the prin-
ciple that the asky is highest over our
heads"
Our farmers greatly miss it in not caring
better for corn, when once harvested. A
large quantity of damaged corn is now
going to market; corn that has for six or
Ieight months stood in cribs twelve feet
square, and without cover. In narrow
cribs, with proper ventilation and covers,
the most of the deficiently ripened crop Of
last year would have been worth fifteen
Eper cent more in market.
The Press and Tribune contains similar
renorts from various parts of the State.
