An Honored Lady Gone.

It's our sad lot to chronicle the death
of PHEBE HINMAN, widow Of the late
Hon. Timothy Hinman. She died at
Derby on Wednesday, the l4th instant,
in the 88th year of her age. The IL
dings Of her decease will awaken in the
minds Of many of our readers remem-
brances of the past, fraught at once with
pleasant and painful emotions.
Over sixty years ago, in company with
the honored partner of her life, she re
moved from Connecticut, her native
state. into this the then wilderness por-
ton of northern Vermont, and close by
the shore of beautiful pond Which now
bears their name, with no white inhab
liant or settlement nearer than Green's
boro, distance Of thirty miles, they
erected rude cabin, and in the deep sol
itude of the trackless forests, founded the
beautiful and hourishing village Of Derby,
and through hardships, privations, tolls
and dangers, from which the females of
this day would shrink in horror, they laid
the foundation also for our present pros
perity, and for refined and religious
society.
The "old house" now long gone to
decay, became the refuge of the wander
ing Indian, and the home Of the emigrant
and stranger, the resort in all time of
trouble, OF peril and of sickness. Could
it disclose the scenes it has looked upon,
what record Of mercy and charity
would it not unroll.
How aptly might her children and de-
scendants say in the language used by
Webster, in respectful relation TO his ia
Their and his log cabin: Amid the snow
drifts Of New Hampshire, at a period so
early that when the smoke rose from its
rude chimney and curled on the frozen
hills, there was no similar evidence of a
white mans habitation between it and
the hills Of Canada"
The deceased was a woman of no or
binary worth. She was of Puritan
-Staek a descendant of the Stnddards- A
fathers LIE gwen IN defence OF his
country, the hardships and daring ex-
ploits Of her honored and beloved partner,
who through the fire and blood of seven
years revolutionary war; shrank from no
toll, no sacrifice, no danger, had inspired
her with an exalted patriotism.
The gentleness of her nature, her
Christian life and teachings, her univer-
sal benevolence and good will, combined
with q heroic tortitude, gave ample proof
that the blood Of the fathers was pure in
her veins. As in life she was model of
all that is true aud beautiful and blessed
in woman, so in death will she be cherished
in grateful remembrance by thousands OF
the recipients of her kindness and love.
She had lived 10 see her children and her
children's children to the third and fourth
generations, to the number of seventy
six, sixty six of whom were living at her
death, among whom was one grand child
forty-fye years Of age, and twenty eight
of the sixty six were great grandchil-
dren.
Like shock of corn fully ripe" she
has gone gently down to the grave, crown
ed with years, and honor, and blessed
ness.

The Atlantic Telegraph.

The world will certainly applaud the
the unquonquerable resolution ofthe man
ayers of the Atlantic Telegraph enter
prise. In the attempts of this season
alone they have encountered three dis
couraging failures. The first was the
result of an accident, such as IS in dan
ger of occurring at any time. The sec
ond is a mystery to this hour. Forty
three miles of cable had been payed out
by the Niagara, when the electricians
reported mo signals-continuity inter
rupted.' The cable was cut, and the Nj
agara repaired TO the Agamemnon to as
certain the cause of breakage; but the
men of that ship knew no more about
the matter than those of the Niagara
Of the third attempt we have had full
accounts. 1t now appears that the ca
bic broke about Sc feet from the stern of
the AgamemnUn-probably before it
reached the water. The strain upon it
was light at the time, and no apparent
cause for the rupture was discernible.-
Our dispatches contain no further re-
marks upon the topic; so that the only
conjecture we are at liberty to indulge in
is that the cable was unsound in the part
broken.
But the feet are again on their way
to mid ocean, to try the fate of their third
expedition, and of their sixth trial at
laying the cable. Our readers are in
possession of all the facts necessary for
/ speculating upon the final result. The
Agamemnon is clearly unfit for the pur-
poses of the expedition; but the proba-
ability is that the weather will be much
more favorable than it was during the
last trip. Some Improvements, also, ii
is fair to presume, will be carried for
ward to the next trial from past expert
ence. Then, on the one hand, we have
three breakages of such nature that
while they can, and probably will be,
avowed hereafter, others similar cannot
be insured against, and three ruptures
unaccountable, or at least not accounted
for. This is the dark side of the picture.
On the other hand, three hundred and
eighty miles of the cable were laid at
one trial last year, and two hundred and
ninety at one trial this year, the one be-
ing in shoal and the other in deep water.
If so much can be laid with perfect ease,
why not probably, under favorable cir
cumstances, the whole This is the
bright side of the picture.
At any rate, we shall soon have the
facts of the next experiment. Themana-
gers have $500 miles of cable on their
hands, and they take wise as well as a
bold course in making other trials of sub
mersion as speedily possible The
squadron were to sail on the 18th, and
ought to be making the juncture in mid
ocean before the close Of this week.

FAIR PLAY.

e. Washington correspondent of the
New York Times, speaking of Hon. Ho-
race T. Clark makes the following i'm
portant statements:
Friends of mine, in whose veracity l
have all confidence, assure me that when
MIR. Clark's opposition to Lecompton
was first spoken of-as yet without any
definite action on his part-he was visit
ed by several members Of the Cabinet,
who confessed their private sympathy
with his views; spoke Of tie Lecompton
Bill as a gratuitoats outrage, neither call
ed for By the South, nor in consonance
a0ith-Democratic principles ; in fact, they
agreed substantially with all his views,
bat entreated him, for his own sake and
the sake Of the party, to give the meas
ure his support on the ground that it
would prove nultity in practice, but, if
defeated, would involve with it the de-
struction both of the Administration and
the party which placed that Administra-
ton in power. Mr.. Clark was deaf to
these rather curious solicitations

@ The Louisville (Ky,) Journal, in
reply to the Charleston Mercury, which
said that if the recent meetings for the
reception Of senator Crittenden in Ken
lucky are the reflex of the feelings or
opinions of the people of that State, she
may as well be stricken from the roll of
Southern States" says:
" We tell the Mercury and its friends
that they Gamma, by what they call 'strik-
ing Kentucky from the roll of Southern
States change either her latitude or her
institutions. Here she stands and, if
any of the fre-eating States attempt to
escape from the Union, she will throw
hempen lasso about their necks."

From the New Haven Journal and Courier. TOTAL ABSTINENCE

W ASHlNGION IOIAL ADSllN ENCE
 We are informed that an attempt is being made to revive the voluntary system of total abstinence from intoxicating drinks, which was formerly so popular under the name of Wash ingtonianisni. Experience must have convn- ced the friends of temperance that legal enact ments cannot of themselves stop the use of al coholic liquors. It is only when public seuti- ment gives it active and irresistible a;d to the enforcement of the law, that law is good for anything. Any apathy or relaxation of an energetic popular will is at ouce seized as the opportunity to disregard the law, and as it Can hardly ever be the case that the public is steadfast in it's enthusiastic support of any moral question: it must from time to time be true that legal enactments OH moral subjects will sometimes be worthless. The Washing tonan movement appealed not to law, but 10 mems own conscience and sense of honor. But it derived much of it's influence from then en- thusiasm it's advocates awakened, aud like ali subjects of popular enthusiasm, it suffered a relapse and came to be regarded as insufficient and ineffective, and the friends of Temperance turned to the Legislature for a more potent remody.
 The results of the Maine Law have not been satisfactory, and many of the true advo- cates of total abstinence are again turning their attention to " moral suasIon," as after all the best remedy. We are requested to say that total abstinence pledge is about to be circulated in this city, and the work of tenn pefance is to be taken up in the old fashioned way We wish it all success, and endorse the following editorial remarks of the Register On the subject:
 "A effort in this direction appeals to ones pride, because it is commenced ill conviction, and sustained by voluntary resolution. There is no !" outside pressure"-which human na- ture always takes pleasure in resisting, espe- cialIy when it appears to be all infringement of natural rights-and hence the voluntary sys- tenn is the most likely to prosper. The expe rience of the past affords abundant evidence of the fact. II will be equally true of the ftl- ture. Such an association disarnis opposition, aud attracts friends, by holding out palpable motives of benefit Anything that will induce the young to begin life of abstinence from drinks or induce the midde-aged to abandon the habit, ought to, and will al- ways, receive the assistance of good people. The pcrnicious quality of much that is sold for pure liquors, at the present day. consti- tutes another powerful argument in favor of total abstinence"
