The Atlantic Gable.

The present electrician Of the Company In
England, Mr.. Marley, has published the re-
suit Of series Of experiments and examine
tions concerning the telegraph cable, and
some items Of intelligence pertaining to its
condition. II seems that the eastern end Of
the cable WAS imperfect when laid down. -
There 10 leak in it at distance Of some
270 miles from Valentia. There is another
ct distance Of about 500 miles. Az mat
tar Of fact, the currents from this side have
never been recorded BY the registering in
strsnsnts on that side, ~ as first currents
from the other side we're registered here ;
messages were determined from defections
Of the galvanometer alone. The powerful
currsots required BY the smallness Of the
wire and the leaks, are consuming the gutta
percha covering At the points whore the wa
ter touches tho wire. A larger wire, more
perfect insultation, and less powerful cur

mitted with reluctance, but it is fact admit
ted, nevertheless, that the cable now lying at
the bottom Of the ocean is practically useless.
As pioneer telegraph, however, demonstra.
ting the feasibility and advantages Of the en-
terprise, lite uses are important. Other ca
bles, otherwise prepared and to be laid in
other ways, are already projected.

The largest political convention ever held
on the Rio Grande, assembled at Messilla, on
the Sd Of September. The delegates repre-
scented about 10000 people. Resolutions
were passed calling on Congress- to organize
at an early day not to send members to the
Legislature Of New Mexico, and to hold new
election for delegate to Congress, in order TO
show the largely increased vote since last
year. The convention was addressed by
Lieut.. Mowry and others.
Considerable emigration was coming into
Arizona, from Texas and the Southern states,
as we'll ms from the Northwest. Col. Titus,
of Kansas, had arrived with party, to make
a settlement on the San Pedro. The yields
Of the silver mines continued to increase, and
several new ones had been opened.

Destructive Eire.-Great Loss OF
Property.

About IL O'Clock on Wednesday night, the
alarm OF Gre was sounded, and before any
assistance could reach the spot, the large
wooden freight house Of the Chicago, Alton
and st. Louis Railroad, located in the north
ern part Of the town, was discovered to be
wrapt in flames. The building WIS about
400 fleet in length BY 40 in breadth, and very
combustible. The engines were promptly on
tho ground, but the fire had attained such
Roadway, that all efforts to extinguish it were
unavailing. In less than an hour, the entire
structure was mass OF ruins. The amount
Of freight in the building is not definitely
known but it was very considerable, estima-
ted to be worth 81, 900 to $4,000.
There were six cars on the track near the
building, which were likewise burnt. One
was loaded with sweet potatoes for the Chi
cago market, one with way freight for Lin.
coin, two with gravel and two were empty.

ALTON, Oct. IA correspondent Of the
Courier, writing from Shelbyville, gives an
account Of fearful tragedy in the vicinity
Of Big Spring, Shelby Co., Ill.
1t seems that deadly feud has for some
time existed between two parties, numbering
several persons on each side. One OF these
persons, named Malcomb Matthews, belong
ing to one side, shot and badly wounded one
Marshal Elan, belonging to the opposite
party.
Matthews was tried and convicted, and i'm
mediately after the trial one Of the Witnesses
named Benjamin Allen and the above
named Marshal Elan got into fight, during
which the latter shot and beat the former,
but not fatally. He then ran away, but was
followed by j. Hatfield, q deputy sheriff,
who fired shot which killed ELAN on the
spot.
It seems that Hatfield is one OF the party to
the feud against Elan. lie has been arrested,
and will probably be convicted Of manslaugh-
ter.
During the excitement one or two other
men were hurt, though not very seriously
The excitement in the vicinity il at the high
