A Terrible Epidemic.-Ws clip the fol
lowing from the Richmond, (ya.) Dispatch
The fever, " hich has been prevailing SO ia
tally for nearly Il year, at Peterstown, Giles
county. Va, has become more violent For
tr additional cases are announced" The
editor of the Advocate has visited the doom
Cd nsighborhood, and saws:
"A more desolate looking place we have
never visited. Nearly every business estab-
lshnsnt in the place was closed, and only
N occasional female form, dressed in the som
bro hab'iimsnt of mourning, was to be seen
The graveyard which We visited in the neigh
L0rhoSd WAS fearful confirmation Of the sad
reports which have been in circulation
Ihsrs was many a mound of fresh earth
ala, too many TO allow for a moment the
consoling hope OF the enaggera,ion usual in
cases Of such general distress What fatal
love for the associations Of home, in which,
the family circle is so often ruptured, can
account for the adherence Of these people to
their present locality"

4 domestic Romance."-A few days
since an Irish domestic, in the employ Of one
of the first families, in the Nineteenth ward,
met with most singular good fortune i'll be-
ing united in marriage TO n wealthy southern

some romantic manner smitten with her
charms and proposed marriage, when he Was
promptly accepted. The fair domestic went
to her mistress, and tearfully resigned the
charge Of the kitchen, stating that she intend
ed soon 10 assume the duties Of the rarlor-
She then departed in carriage, and soon
after returned in full dress, proceeded to dis
pose of her former wardrobe to her less for

Preparation for War.-A lato London
paper has the following:
Il; is a strange feature in the political his
tory Of Europe, at the present moment, that
every State is arming and fortfying itself
against some imaginary enemy, and that the
works are being hastened, according to their
own words, in the provision Of events that
may soon arise What events2 Who can
tell Our brethren on the other side Of the
Atlantic are utterly at fault. Even little
Belgium is about to fortify one Of her towns,
at an expense Of forty millions offranc.; while
the naval equipment and fortifcatons Of
Cherbourg, now the principal French naval
station in the Channel, are said to border on
the marvellous for their perfection and mag
nitude. What does all this mean, and what
is Louis Napoleon preparing for.'

The New Orleans Bulletin remarks con-
.,srning the Masonic fraternity Of the U ni,sd
States: M
"aere is body Of men, composed Of all
classes and professions, entertaining every kind
of opinions upon religion and politics, and ex-
isting in every State Of the Union, who come
together and exhibit among themselves the
utmost harmony Of feeling and action. No
word o: opprobrum escapes from the lips Of
any one to insult and wound the feelings Of
another. No fierce anathema Of sections Is
heard. No extrayagance is INDUCED in
Everything is done decently and in order
Everything is quiet, gentemanly, respectful,
dignifed. The bitterest political enemies
meet face to face, and you shall never know
by their actions or words that they do not
belong to the same party, Religionists the
most opposite embrace each other in the arms
Of an exalted charity. Fanaticism finds no
entrance into the society Of the broth erhood.
Not wave of discord disturbs the waters of
the inner temple, no plunge into the abyss of
atheism, rant. lawlsssnsss, shocks the moral
sense of mankind. No revolutionary dydra
comes up from beneath to break up the found
alton Of order and send the tornado over tho
face Of society"
1t then asks why it is that christian church
es do not profit by the example sfforded them
by this philanthropic fraternity. QuOth the
Bulletin:
"But what is the secret Of their unanimty,
Of their harmony, Of their brothsrly love, Of
the conservative front which, without trem-
or, they maintain, and the general commo-
ton, hatred and fanatcism existing around
them? 1t is found, it seems TO strike US, in
-toleration."

LENGTH OF CABLE LAID.
The cable laid is sixteen hundred and
ninety eight nautical miles in length from
the Telegraph station, at Bulls Bay, on the
American coast, to the head Of Valencia har-
bor, and for more than two thirds that dis
tance is laid 10 water over two miles deep.

and worked the same as i'll regular tele-
graph office.
THE WORKING OF THE CABLE.
The uninterrupted and perfect cornmunica-
tion through the whole length Of ths cable,
submerged at an average depth of two miles,
has demonstrated. beyond a doubt, the prac

Lieut.. Everett's machinery for paying out
the cable has worked admirably.
THE OFFICERS AND MEN.
Capt. Hudson, of the Niagara, Messrs. Ev-
erett and Woodhouse, telegraph engineers,
the electricians, the officers of the ship and
every man on board the American portion of
the fleet, exerted themselves to the utmost to
make the expedition successful, and by the
blessing of Divine Providence, they were sue
cessful beyond general expectation.

telegraph materials at Vrinity Bay, and, af
ter coaling at St. Johns, will return 20 New

gives the following descriptions Of he passage
Of the steamer Canada through the sapids Of

twelve feet high, and presenting. view which
TO myself appears hardly exceeded in magni-
fccnce bv the swell in the middle Of the At

most violent storm, and the water passes n.
an enormous speed. These wers passed rs-
pidly, the Canada minding her helm as easily
as bark canoe obeys the paddle, and trav-
eled, am informed by passenger who wa.
on board Of her, the seven miles in fifteen
minutes. -.-
Thence there is smooth water until arriving
at the rapids Of the. Split Rock, heretofore
two hundred feet in length. This WAS the
most dangerous part Of the passage, it being
necessary 10 make = curve almost a; righsL

king his coram, let the bow OF the boat strike
the rock forciby on her starboard side, there
by throwing her stcrn into the centre Of the
channel, by the only practical method, and
permitting her to pass through in szfs,y.-
Next the Cedar Rapid, were reached. They
we're passed at the same rate, the boat strk-
ing alike aft and forward. but no substantial
injury was sustained. The Lachine rapids,
near Montreal. were the next Here the
Canada again struck. The rocks here are
