NEW YoaK, July 2 O-The steamship
North Star arrived this forenoon from South,
ampton, with Liverpool dates to the 9TH.
The Niagara aud Gorgon, Of the Atlantic
Telegraph Fleet arrived at Queenstown on
the 9th of July, with news that the cable par
ted on board the Agdmemnon, the Goth of
june, one thousand miles from Ireland, when
they had paid out one hundred and forty-two
miles.
All was going on perfectly we'll aboard the
Niagara, when the signal from the AgGnem-
non ceased, and from the electricians tests,
1t was believed that the cable had broken.
After all communication ceased, the Mag
ara was allowed to swing by the cable, and
in addition to that, a strain Of four tons was
applied to the breaks. Although the wind
was blowing fresh at the time, the cable held
her own, when a sudden pitch of the vessel
caused by n heavy sea, snapped the cable, and
the Niagara bore away for Queenstown.
Should nothing be heard from the Aga
DleBuoa, the Niagara, after coasting, will
again proceed to mid-ocean, having still 1900
miles Of cable on board.
1t is conjectured that the Agdmemnon had
not consumed all her fuel at the time Of the
accident, as She arranged for a quantity Of
coal, and is therefore awaiting the return of
the Niagara.
Universal regret was expressed at the Liv-
erpooi Exchange, and a greatf fall in the price

SouErufSG New FROM UTAH-THe Tr0u6-
les beticeea Gen. Johnston and Cor. Cumming.
The special correspondent of the New York
Times says:
From a private but entirely responsible
source | have received the subioincd news
from Utah. In the principal poiats of differ.
eucc between General johnson and Judge
Eckles on one side, and Gov. Cumming on
the other, the Commissioners have stated
that they are with the General and Judge.
The differences arose from conduct of Kane,
who was at one timeso enraged or indignant
that he wrote n challenge to Johnson, but
the challenge was finally not sent. Cum
ming urged Kane on, but without success
Kane on the other hand used the Governor
by working on his vanity, but it was the gen
eral feeling in the camp hat Brigham Young
had Outwitted both. Judge Eckles is a man
or decided character, and if he is interfered
with, or his orders materially changed, he con-
templates resignation and u return home.
Governor Cumming is pleasant man, but is
unfortunately addicted to the same habit
which caused the removal Of Shannon from
the Governorship of Kansas-in other words
he drinks so much that he is often unfit fol
duty. Mr.. Kane had no official credentials
but he exhibited letters from Mr.. Buchanan

really acting under authority. Johnston ant
Eckles saw only these letters, whatever h
might have shown to Cumming.

however, some middling rough talk, not /
Young, but 10y some Of his big men. 1t W;

the press and people are concurring in t
opinion that there is nothing substantial,
the way of pacifcation, in the oft-report
victories over the rebels. They are set dov
as mere guerrilla victories, gained at ind
coverable places, over unpronounceat
names. Some progress continues to be ma
in the way Of carnage, but very little in t
way Of rendering the population willing a
faithful subjects. Indeed some of the Lie
don papers do not hesitate to predict t
eventual and not very distant expulsion
