The Richmond South concludes
a sensible and we'll written article
on "Abolitionism and Disunionism,'
with the following remarks:
The cure for disunion is the des
truction of Abolitionism and all the
isms which run riet in the Northern
State. Remove these excrescences
from Northern society and bring back
the people to the spirit and temper
OF 'T6, aud disunion will die out of
the hearts and homes of tho South
ern people. Let US and our institu-
tons be unmolested land we willdw
together in unity and possess the
land in peace, is the thought and
feeling of every true man in the
South this day, and has been and
ever will be. The South wishes no
other or better government than that
which the fathers of the Republic
formed and left as a heritage TO
their children; but while they de-
maud no more they will take moth
ing less. The demand is just, is
right, is reasonable, and if it be re-
fused, when the fullness of time is
come, they will show that they "kuow
their rights, and knowing dare
maintain them And this let the
Era and all others concerned take
notice. 1.-THE prevalence of disunion
sentiment at the South is annoying,
the process Of eradication is simple;
and If it be fairly tried it will be
found effectual.

More About The Cable.

From the statements made by the
electricians, Il would seem that the
Eastern half Of The cable was pref
ty much useless when it was laid
down from the Agamemnon there
being many serious leaks in it even
them thsk owing to the weakness Of
the currents, no message sent from
Newfoundland to Valentia has ever
been recorded by the instruments,
the two or three dispatches trans
mitted being read from the deaections
of the galvanometer alone; that, in
addition to the great leak or fault
some go miles from Valentia, there
Is another quite as serious some
500 miles or more from that place;
that the copper conductor is too
small at any rate, and that the very
powerful electric currents required
both by the existence of the leaks
and the smallness of the wire, must
very soon burn up the gutta percha
near every point where the water
already penetrates to the wire
Thus it appears the cable was little
better than worthless when it was
! put down, and must soon be totally
destroyed as conductor of electrici
| ty, by the action of the galvani'
currents constantly applied to it.

WELL DoNE.-We learn that the steamer
Panama, on her late trip from this port for
San Francisco, was taken possession of by
some two hundred miners at Whatcom,
who politely informed the Captain that
being very low in pocket, and straighented
in circumstances" they should be com
PEELED to call upon his generosity" to
furnish them with a gratis passage to San
Francisco. That officer well knowing that
the company which he serves do not run
their steamers up here on gHerositV princi-
pies, replied, as we are informed, that he
should take back no man on that lag oui
while he was captain Of that vessel" To
obviate' this, he was informed that 60
they would and for this purpose they
would supercede him in the steamers Eavi
cation, and man her themselves"
All we have to say in this matter is
simply this: that if they succeeded. they
served the company just right That com
pany was most instrumental in getting up
this excitement at an improper time-at
too early a day-and il is but just that
they should burn their fingers in just
such way as will learn them to mind

From the Alta California, July %.
The British Grand Trunk Railroad.

In our paper Of Sunday last, in its com,
mercial report, was published a translation
from the Journal of Empire, Partisan pa.
per, npon the subject of the Pacific and
Atlantic Railroad. The article is impor-
tant and suggestive. Its points will bear
repetition. 1t is known that the British
Government have organized an expedition
to explore the regions between Vancouver
and the Canadian settlements for railway
purposes 1t is commanded by Col. Eli
Oft, of the Royal Engineers, aud consists
of sixty engineers, accompanied by troop
of forty men, commanded by Capt. Haig,
of the Royal Artillery, and to he Joined by
one hundred men Of the Hudson Bay Com
pany as pioneers The paper quoted from
justly remarks:
"The victory which is to give the empire Of the
world will be gained by that power which shall be the
first to establish the first line Of railroad across regions
aud countries which are yet unknown and unexplOred
The struggle for the attainment Of this great victory
well worth the trouble and expense it will cost; for
the empire Of the seas and the commercial dominion
over the whole world are the great stakes which are
being played for.
The British government will, no doubt, Immediately
set to work according TO the information communica
ted by the expedition, anu Degln the GalTOad at the
several points pointed out by the engineers Of the ex-
petition In this way it is that shall be wit
nesses OF one Of those grand peaceful revolutions
which, in all ages of the world have played greater
part IN deciding the fate of the human race than all
the great and most decisive battles that have ever
been fought, or all the complete conquests that have
ever been made"
1t very justly compliments the energy
and spirit of the Canadian government as
shown by its liberal expenditures in carry
ing out the designs Of its Grand Trunk
Railroad. Within few years it has ex-
pended fifteen millions of dollars upon it.
If we are not mistaken, they have con-
structed a greater extent Of railroad in
Canada country which few years
since was looked upon as too cold, and
poor, and desOlate region to be even de-
