eg The Cleveland Herald in aIlusiOn to the
approaching election. says "The Battle is
upon US. 1t will be disgrace to the Republ-
cans, and fatal blow TO the cause Of Free La
Dor, il the Democracy is allowed TO win a VIC
tory in Ohio at the coming election. But the
tactics OF the Administration will certainly win
unless the Republicans in their strong holds get
out full vote. The plan OF the enemy is this:
to abandon the strong Republican holds Of the
State to us without even aiming blow, thus
completely putting the Republicans Of those
sections asleep, and to bring all the power Of
the Federal Administration 10 bear upon the
canvass ia the close aud doubtful Congressional
Districts. Thus they expect in those Districts
to elect their members Of Congress, and 10 the
Republican Districts produce that fatal apathy,
engendered BY too great confidence, which shall
reduce the Republican vote in those districts,
and elect the Locofoeo State ticket. And We
Cell the Republicans of the Reserve that unless

THE ATLANTIC TELEoRAPH The n. Y.
Evening Post says The electricians en-
gagged Oh the Atlantic Telegraph appear
unanimous in the opinion that the ;nslla-
ton of the cable has become injured by
being suspended upon some projecting point
of steep bank, and thus gradually ipjur
ed by its own weight, The soundings taken
few hundred miles from the Irish coast
show that bank or steep range exists, the
highest and lowest points Of which are
eight miles apart, showing difference OF
elevation of 1900 feet. But no one can
form all idea of the nature Of the ground
in this intervening space Of eight miles
whether the sides of the submarine noun
tain he broken by ravines or precipitous
cliffs, or whether it be gentle slope
The spot, which is about 800 miles from
the Valentia end of the cable, is supposed
to be the one where the Insulation Of the
cable has been injured.

Two PACIFIC ISLANDS OFFERED TO THE UNI
TED SrArEs--Two of the Society Islands, Tabaa
ard Raiatea, have offered themselves to the Uni
ted States. They are said to be two Of the
Haest islands in the group, and have a harbor
protected by coral reef, which is large enough
to float all the vessels Of the world. The loea-
ton is very desirable for astaton for our whal-
iny vessels. Itappears that on the 25th of May,
the q. s. consul at Tahiti, visited Tahaa, and
during his visit the natives without his knowl-
lge drew up paper. which was signed by all
the governors and principal officers on the island,
presenting the isl and to the United States. Mr..
Owner was naturally very much surprised when
the nature Of the document was explained TO
him. He promised to send it to the President
OF the United States. This, at first did not
satisfy the people, as they wanted the 'stars and
stripes" hOisted Immediately Soon after Raia-
tea followed in the wake Of Tahaa, and all of
