New Paper in Fairfield.

A correspondent of The Columbia Guar.
dan, "Harper' lately announced that pro-
ject was on fooi to establish new paper in
Fairfield that tue course Of the Winns.
boro Register and Herald was dissatisRlcto.
~ 10 the people of the District We had
supposed that the mania for multiplying
newspapers in this State had subsided /; that
observation or experience hnd taught all in
clined this way that newspaper enterprise
established at the instance of a political
clique or party, is about rs precarious an I'M
deriaking rs n man could well engage in.
The Register under the direction of Mr.
GailInrd, the present editor Of the South
Caro- linan, has pursued n consistent and
conservative course. lie was opposed to
Kno~ Nothingism in favor Of South Car
olina being represented In the Cincinnati
Convention, and is opposed to the revival
Of the African slave trade. In reference to
the sentiment of Fairfield upon these point.
correspondent of the CGrolinian, alluding
TO the reported establishment Uf new pa
per, writes a. follows:
1--WE desire 10 remark that the statement
Of 'tiarper' Is entirely unfounded in fact
Under the management of their late editor.
the Herald aud Register have prospered aud
attained large circulation Whist, more
over, ihs citizens have admired that EDITORS
boIdness and Independence. they have very
generally assented 10 his conclusions. In
regard to Know No.hingism, the Cincinnati
Convention aud tte African slave trade, the
course OF the Herald and Register is ap-
proved. We honestly believe, by la, &c ma

The Atlantic Telegraph.

II may be remembered that we pub
iished III the Guardian some time ago, u
prediction 10y writer III the Washington
States that The second effort to lay the
ocean cable would prove failure. The
news received Of the trial experiment,
seems dlsheartenins enough.
A letter from an officer on board Of the
UnIled States frigate Niagara, gives the
New York Tines detailed account Of
the result OF the recent experimental trip
OF the Atlantic Telegraph squadron. The
particulars are interesting. The attempt
10 lay the experimental cable WAS not un
~tteuded by disaster. On board both the
niagara and Aga,nemnon the cable re-
peatedly parted. This mishsp befeIl both
the condemned and new portions.
The London Times recorded the fac,
that the cable parted once or twice
though this accident was said TO have oc
CURED only to the old cable, aud in u
rough sea.
The correspondent of the New York
Times states that the cable parted 10 less
than five times during the trip of three
days--tbst this calamity occurred to both
the Old and new cable alike and that IL
Was not fairly chargeabIo either or the
weather, tho sea, or 10 any special acci
dsnt whatever"
Private adyiees have also been received
IN New York Of a very discouragng
character. One OF these letters, written
on boaid tue Niagara, says:
"You will see, IL you get an accurate
! report al the experimental trip, that a
more favorable opportunity could not oc.
cur for practice and experiments inlaying
;be cable. The weather was c,lm and
ihe SEA smooth. There was no sSell---
she ship was perfectly still, yet, | must
coufess, IL vas not SO successful trial as
j had hoped and expected. Disguise the
fact as Ne may, they we're misbaps, mis-.
judgments, and miscalculations. The cs
bls parted at every trial, whether new or
condemned cable. On the voyage, OF
course, the dangers to be spprehended
. mo ssil. greater since the two ships have
tie same duty TO pes!otm, and failure on
siihes will be fatal TO tho other"
il may bo however that even At the
present. writing The Niagara may have
arrived on this side with full success. A
