says:
"Last Sabbath, We met in this city, man by the
name of Meredith Holland, native of Monroe coun.
ty, Kentucky, who can certainly beat the world,
n,athematically. He can answer any proposition
which may be submitted to him, and do it without
a moments delay. We asked him how many Sec
onds there were in four thousand years. Scarcely
had the question been stated, when the answer was
accurately given.
"This man looked like country hoosier; and if
it were not for the extraordinary mathematical gift
with which he has been endowed, he would be
garded as almost idiot He has travelled in com:

Europe, and is about starting on q tour throughout

question; and that, therefore, he undergoes no

The ATLANTIC CABLE.-As yet we have no news
OF the successful completion of laying the Atlantic
cable. One end is safely landed on the Western
continent, and we hope the other end is as safely
placed on the Eastern. Indeed, the undertaking is
now regarded a success. The conception of
such an enterprise was of the boldest and most
daring that had a Judgment in the brain of
science, and its success will ever make the present
era renowned. 1t was a stupendous undertaking.
but what cannot two such nations as England and
America accomplish!
We all await the first message from Queen Victo.
ria to President Buchanan: and all feel confident
ne will return her as good as she sends. If we
were the Queen we should send the following:
"Old man, don't you wish you had q wife?"
And If we were the President we should reply:

TIE SENIOR GosE.-The senior editor of the
Standard left home on Saturday last to spend a
week or two at that charming summer resort, Beau
fort We trust the sea-breezes. surf bathing fish,
&c., of the seaboard will agree with him better than
the election news from the mountains does with u.s.
the lonely Associate. But Holden has worked hard
for 10! these many years. yet he has worked cheer
fuly and worked his way from obscurity to distnc-
ton, and he deserves recreation-and more. We
trust his Beaufort friends will feed him well and
treat him we'll. The only thing that disagrees with
him is chicken salad and may he avoid that and all
"shurks," whether of land or water; and may he
safely return, in due of time, to relieve US
from much mental trbulation.
But our object in writing this article was to let
the public know that We, the Associate, are respon
sbe for all the exceences of this issue, and for all
issues until the senior returns. We once wore edi-
toral harness. but like old Anchises at the siege of
Troy, our shoulders have long been unaccustomed to
its weight But we shall soon get the "hang" of it,
and 20 ahead.

The Result.

The Result.
Of the election of Judge Ellis there can be no
doubt but it is difficult, yet. to calculate his ma.
iority. Nor is there any doubt that we shall have
commanding majority in the Legislature. So far our
losses exceed our gains. but we had majority, in
the last Legislature, of fifty six, and can afford to
lose some.
The truth is our large majority in the last Legis-
lature was attributable, in a great degree. to the
hatred to Know Nothingism. The honest masses
then rose in their righteous wrath to put down that
secret, oath bound organization and they did it ef
fectualy. This year every opposition candidate
tried to clear his skirts of that odous party. Know
Nothingism where. The hatred to it had
partially died and been buried with it; and hence
very large majority Of ftysi will probably be
reduced to forty or forty five. At any rates We shall
have the power to elect two Democratic U. 5. Sena
tors who will support the administration of James
Buchanan, the Constitution, and the rights of the
South.
