TELEGRAPIIIc DISPATCH TO THE Assocr.
ATED PRESS.
TRINITY BAY, N. F. August 5.
The Atlantic Telegraph Fleet sailed
from Queenstown, on Saturday, July II.
AT | p. m, on Thursday. Goth, they
separated-the Agamemnon and valor-
GUS bound to Valentia, Ireland, and
Niagara and Gorgon to this place,
where they arrived yesterday, and this
morning the end of the cable will be
landed.
1t is 1908 nautical, or 1850 statute
miles, from the telegraph house at the
head OF Valentia harbor to the
telegraph house at the Bay of
Bulls, Trinity Bay, and for more
than two-thirds of this distance the water
is over two miles in depth. The cable
has been paid out from the Agamemnon
at about the same speed as from the Nj
agara. The electrical signals sent and
received through the whole cable are
perfect. The machinery for paying out
the cable worked in the most satisfactory
manner, and was not stopped single
moment from the time the splice was
made until we arrived. Capt. Hudson,
Messrs. Everett and Woodhouse, the
Engineers, the electricians and officers
of the ships, and in fact every man on
board of the Telegraph fleet, have exert
ed themselves to the utmost to make the
expedition successful, and by the bles-
sing of Divine Providence it has succeed
ed. After the end of the cable is landed
and connected with the land line of Tel
egraph, and the Niagara has discharged
some cargo belonging to the Telegraph
company, she will go to st. Johns for
coal, and then proceed at once to New
York. Signed,

Such men as Hon. L. Cook, Republi-
can Senator from Des Moines, and Hon.
A. .. Patterson, Democratic Senator
from Muscatine, would never be guilty
of putting their names to report, either
official or unofficial, if it was palpably
false as the Herald asserts. The report
those gentlemen made to the Legislature
at Des MONIES, exposed the unwelcome
fact that there was deficiency of near
ONE HUNDRED AND TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS
existing and as NJ L. Morris had tho
control of the affairs of the Treasury, he
was justly held responsible for the miss
ing funds.-Burlington Gazette.
We copy this statement once more, for
the purpose of branding it as UNANIMOUSLY
false; with the assurance that Messrs.
Cook and Patterson never gave the least
warrant for its publication. They never
made any report to the Legislature, that
developed any such state Of facts and
no report was made to the late Lecisla-
ture that even limited at defalcation in
the State Treasury. Messrs. C. and p.
expressly state in their report that they
found in the Treasury certificates of de-
post and other vouchers, providing for
every cent due the State.- Citizen.

The Telegranh Cable.

PoRT HooD, Cape Breton, August 6.
Early last evening the line between
this place and Boddeck, ceased to work,
and has just been repaired, and we now
learn that the line is also down east of
Boddeck and between there and Aspev
Bay, which is the point where the New
Foundland cable is connected with the
land line. Active measures have been
taken to put the line in order, but this
may occupy all day tomorrow, owing
to the distance between the telegraph
stations and nature of the country to be
trayersed. Numerous communications
passed to and from Trinity Bay Yesterday
before the line went down here, and there
is not the slightest reason whatever, to
doubt the truth and genuineness of the
dispatches from Mr.. Field as published
yesterday, and the rumors of deception,
DC, have not the least foundation SO
far as we know Or believe. The most
perfect reliance is felt here and at every
station upon the line, that the Atlantic
Cable has been successfully laid between
Ireland and New Foundland, but there
is no good reason to believe that the
Cable can be got in readiness to convey
messages before next week, and by that
time the land line will be put in order,
and be kept SO.

The vestrymen of Trinity have deter

The complete success of the Atlantic
Gable is placed beyond all doubt Sig
nails are now being made through the
whole extent of he Cable, but it is un-
likely that the Cable will be opened for
business for several days, or perhaps
week, as the electricians will require time
for series of experiments with their re-
cording instruments.

And break these bonds of slavery,

Stole down each cheek as his closed PRAYER
He whispered-I have noughs 20 fear,

His prayer was heard, the God Of light,
Sent hosts, o. holy angels bright,
To free him FROM dark slavery's night.

Perhaps the only thing in which ! am disap

cultivation of its inhabitants. 1t is true that ever
the smallest towns have opera houses, but the style
of performance is poor. Then. like many ot5s,
people, had expected that in Italy. music was in
the domestic circle. brought to almost professional
perfection, and that every other yonng man was o

But l lind myself much mistaken. As a general
thing there appears to be no more real taste for
music here than 10 the United States certainly
