AN0rHEg HOPE Fog THE TELEGRAPH--Ihs
tenth OF this month was fixed upon by certain
Of the best informed friends Of the Telegraph
expedition rs the last day on which 1t would
be reasonable to i0og for news Of the success
fol laying of the TraHsatlsntie Telegraph cable
They said that if by that time nothing bad
been heard of the Niagara at Newfoundland, II
would be safe TO conclude that the expedition
had failed and returned 10 Queenstown accord
ing to the sailing directions.
There is, notwithstanding, = kepe left. The
vessels which have lately arrived at tbis paIt
from Europa under sail have made unusually
long passages, aud report invariably adverse
winds. Several ships not remarkable for in!e-
nor sailing qualities, have taken tiiiy and sixty
days to cross the ocean Now pIesuming-as
It is fair to presume-that the Telegraph feet
met these adverse winds, why should they not
have been delayed in a proPortiOnate degree
There Is no reason to suppose that the Aga
memnon, for instanee, which is steamer, and
We know. Was very deep, could sail with any
great speed, even with fair wind; what then
could she do with foul one
IL IL p0ssible-nOt 10 say prOb@blc-that the
Telegraph fleet were delayed by bad winds full
ten days beyond the allotted time for reaching
mid ocean; that they did not splice the cable
till after the lst inst, and that the two ships
are now slowly steaming toward iheir resPcc-
tive destination. While they are not heard
from, there is still room for hope.-N. J.

"Mr. Fred. W Porter, the defaulting agent
of the American Sunday School Union, whose
fall made such a sensation a short time since,
has at length made full and complete confes-
sion Of the great wrong he has done. He stood
very high in the Society and in the Church,
and he was almost the last man who would
have been suspected to be guilty OF so foul
deed. In a letter recently laid before the Board
of the Sunday School Union, lie has made
complete confession. lie began bis wrong-dO

10 be able 10 meet the notes as they matured- -

the thorny path of sin, praised for virtues that
he knew he did not possess, and taking Of the
sacrament, which. according 10 his own pro
feSsed faith, was adding damnation 10 himself
with each unworthy reception. He defrsuded

gain, promptly paid all the notes that his name
was on, and the loss vas lesseEed nearly S40,-

years of fraud, he has the name Of the society

Speaking after the mannsr CT men, the mer-

Committee met him for the purpose of escort
ing him to Chicago, where he is to, and sup
pose ere this has received something of . re-
eeptiOn-
Well, Mr. Douglas on his arrival in the cars
yesterday morning, stepped briskly out, expect
ing to meet his old friend Judge Lawson; the
Judge having telegaphed to him at Toledo
that he would meet him on his arrival 1t was
scarcely daylight, and by some accident the
Judge oversight Eimself and in consequence
was not on hand in time. But Mr.. Douglas
expecting to meet him, glanced around IN the
grsv Of the morning, until his eye fell upon the
Dortly form of a man who resembied his
friend the Judge, and mistaking such person
for the aforesaid individual, rushed up and
shock the ieshy man warmly by the hand.
The fleshy man iI.-i;ed him into acarriage i'm
mediately, aud taking scat beside hial, order
cd the driver to move. The carriage in a few
moments drew up at the Parker House. You
may imagine QOug glas' surprise, when he stePt
out Of the conveyance, to find that the man
whom he had mistaken for Judge LawscA
vas Nc ether than the veritable potter of the
Parker House. What is still better, Lawson
had rooms prepared. and perhaps a stray bottle
of brandy, waiting for Douglas at the TeegaI=
den House, of WHICH he is one Of the proPrie-
tors. Douglas had but fev moments to stay,
and time was precious; he therefore ordered a
carriage to take him over to Michigan City,
and Judge Lawson arrived at the Parker House
