THs ATLANTIC CABLE.--Although SO much has
been written and said about the Atlantic Cable,
the following intelligence, contained in the v.len.
tia correspondence (Nov. 49, of the London Times,
possesses some interest since it informs the pub.
lie how much progress has been made BY the
electrical professors and operators in their efforts
to make the dumb speak:
The steamtug Robert Bruce arrived here on the
9th inst, at about 10 A. NJ. The day was beauti>

Stag has been here since the 26sh ult., aud finer
weather could not be than has allied since that
time Since the l0th inst. the wind has been fresh

lasted for about weeks has vanish ed for the pre-
sent. Without attrbuting to the parties concerned
any blame save for want Judgment, obvious to
all observers here that much more could be done
Nov. l2-lt is now blowing stiff breeze at s. T. =,
which would reEder il rather difficult to pursue n
dermning the cable, although last year, when Sir
u. Bright WAS here, scores of miles of the first
cable were underrna in at least as rough weather

three miles OF the cable (Agamemnou,.l M.

TO be regretted that the cable has hot been for
some fifteen eigh teen miles underrun and tested

weather permits, more energetic measures will
be pursued No director or person with executive

closed up and the staff disbanded. Up TO certain
point it is, perhaps, not wonderful to expect that
persons, when left to their own responsibility in
such important work, should act with over
caution. The attempt TO resuscitate work. of
such world wide importance and interest would
however, demand the utmost energy and psrse
verauce, and sympathy for the spirited sharehold-
ers warrants The anxiety of the public when they
consider that favorable opportunities are not
availed of.

DEATH OF A VgrRRAN.-Gen. John NJ. Davis died
10 Allegheny county, Pa, on Monday, aged 81
years. The Pittsburg Past says:
lie received commissions from Presidents JEFF
fersou Madison and Monroe. AS private and as

In the year 1907 he passed through Pittsburg with
a company for the seuth west, which descended the
Ohio on keelboats. He served for seven years
under the command of Gen. Andrew Jackson
In the Indian wars in Florida he distinguished
himself, aud especially so at the battle OF the
ssHorse Shoe" He was afterwards at the battle
of New Orleans as q captain In the army, and was
one of Gen. Jackson's aids. Here he undertook q
most dangerous duty-that of obtaining . supply
Of fammunition for the'American army-which he
successfully accomplished, with tho loss OF q mum
ber of men and the mules attached to the wagons.
For his success in this hazardous undertaking he
received the honorable. appointment OF brevet

no longer necessary TO his country.
During the administration of President Jackson
he received the appointment of Uuited States
