THE ATLANTIC TELEeRAPH.-In about
week, the ships with the Atlantic telegraph
cable will take their departure from England,
and by the first of July tho great problem Of
sending OH electric communication across the
Atlantic ocean, will be settled. From the
10th of June to the lst of July has been, in
the northern Atlantic, the most uninterrupted
ealIns, as is shown by observations, tor fifty
years. So perfect has the playing ont ma
chinery beea rendered by the improvements
on it, that the London Times says, that the
boisterous weather of those high latitudes-
if it occur-will not be likely to interrupt
tho process Of submerging after it has once
fairly commenced. for the playlng-out ma
chine is SO sufficiently self acting as TO al
most compensate in its action for any sudden
rise in the oil tho vessalt to the pitch ofthe
sea. Both ships, with the accompanying trIg-
ates, make all speed to the center of the At
lantic. or rather to the center OF tho space to
be traverssd by the cable, which is about 81
degrees vest of Greenwich. Here the splice
between the two halves will be made without
loss of time. There is ! 500 fathoms
water where this JOIN must be made, and
both vessels will remain stationary until the
splice has we'll settled on the bottom, when

will be either laid or lost within twelve or
fourteen days from starting.
The depths to which the Niagara will have

larly from 500 to $500 fathoms, or from

He practiced sowing one way and look

which he says:
1 desire to say, through the Democratic

ference would be to retire from my present
position, and that am not candidate for

The Montgomery CORE spondent OF

ing difference of opinion that exists be-
tween the Northern and Southern por-
tons OF the South:
THIS Convention has done either a great
good or great evil; tor it has shown that
there are, Instead OF two, three sections in the
Union. II has shown that the true division
OF Interests Is now, not those OF the Nortb
and South. but OF Cotton States, Tobacco
States. and Wheat States. An issue between
Southern States has been born from the
WOMB IN which, for two years, it has been
quIc<ening and growing; has been born, has
grown, and now can never be laid in either
the cradle or the grave. The very reason OF

6F The indianapolis State Sentinel,

OF The Indianapolis State Sentinel,
says that 1.-The Kansas question Is past
ISSUE" 1t is strange how often that this
question has been settled and made
past ISSUE" and yet will not remain
quiet. From the first passage of the
Kansas>Nebraska bill till the consum-
nation of the English swindle-at al
most every stage between those points
the question has been, according to Dem
ocratic papers, settled The truth is, the
more it becomes settled" the more II
unsettles the Democracy.
But our object in quoting the above
extract from the Sentinel, was to give
our anti-Lecompton friends view of the
position assigned th EN- by this organ ol
Bright and Fitch. Speaking Of the COM
ing elections it says:
The Indiana Democracy viii support the
regular nominations of the party, the State
ticket, and those Of each locality, withou'
reference 10 past opinions upon the Kansas
IN.
Dena1crgts accept the Ea9list bill as far dd-
;lstaaezt IF ths differences Of opinion which hd'
been entertained upon thai question. Zach
individual will himself determine his con
nection with the party by his acquescence IN
cu5trZuzy a. i-.-:~-- 4f its rapnlar CON-
ventions, and the support Of its regular nom
inees. a refusal to abide by such decisions
and TO support such nominees, necessarily
terminates connection with the party. Those
who cease to sympathize with the party, M
louger exercise an influence over it; neither
can they be recognized as associates, or ba
permitted to express its sentiments or speal
in its name. It is not the province OF any
member OF the party to read out" another
but certainly no individual can be recognized
as a member of the organization who de-
nounceS it US corrupt, who repudiates 1t
decisions and nominees and leads his infu
ence, laid and comfort to his enemies.
he is honest, he will not continue or desire t
continue connection with q party wit
whom he has no sympathy. Nor can par
ty, if it respects itself, its principles its nom
inees, and its action, recognize the afhliatio
of any individual who contemns and disre
CARDS all. -
This is the first time we have hear
that anti-Lecompton Democrats-Doug
las Democrats--had accepted the Englis
substitute, and were willing to max
that test of fidelity to the party. W
have not before learned that Senate
Douglas has stultified himself to the e.
tent as to accept that which he denour
oed as more villainous than the Lecoml
ton Constitution itself But what rigi
has the Sentinel to speak for the Doug
las men, when it was read out of the
company, and in no smooth terms,

ORLEANS BANK, AT CASsELToN.--A
few weeks ago, the Cannelton Reporter
announced that responsible parties from
the East, were about to establish Bank
at that point for the accommodation OF
its citizens, and those of the neighboriDg
towns of Hawesvills and Tell City. 1t
appears that two persons, representing
themselves to be capitalists from Wall
street came there, for the purpose of es-
tablishing bank to buy bills on eastern
shipments.
They obtained spacious room In which
was a capacious vault--raised conspic-
uous sign Of "BANK," over the door
and leaving behind an agent or cashier
! with the empty vault and bare pockets,
the two 'highly responsible gentlemen" !"
took their departure for st. Louis and
the far West, to procure the means to
set the concern in operation. No advices
nor funds have been received froni them

6rThe st. Louis Republican says
that Nicholas Trautwein and Antons
Lett, the young barber apprentices who
murdered Hugh Downey, IN the shop OF
Henry Gaertner, were arrested at Gale>
ma, ILL.,, on Saturday last. The boys
have made frank and full confession of
their guilty participation in this horrible
transaction. While they were in charge
Of the officer, on the cars, and about fifty
miles from St. Louis, the train was
stopped by freight train which had got
off the track. The officer having the
prisoners in charge, and who had been
unable to get any sleep for three con,
secutive nights, fell into. dose, and
when he awoke, Nick ;" one of the boys,
was gene. He had slipped his hands
from the handcufs, and Jumped from the
cars, and escaped in the darkness of the
night. At the latest accounts LIE had
not been found.

their clothes and the ''cup." they told De.
bold they We're going to cup patient, pass
ed down Fifth and Washington avenue tc
the ST. Paul packet, Lake City. Nick had
all the money but 81, and he paid the fare
! $40 for both. This was Monday evening"
They entered their stateroom, No. 2, in the
starboard side, and had no fear Of pursuit.
They slept there, ate regularly at the cabin
table, and travelled tearlessly in all parts oi
the boat, without leaving her till she left on
Wednesday. (The clerk of the boat tAor-

They were in their room and only heard his
i voice. They did not then know of Debold's
arrest nor did they apprehend an immedi

On Sunday afternoon they left the boat al
