THE ATLANTIC CABLE.

AS an opinion has been industriously dis
seminated in some quarters, that no real dis
patches have ever been transmitted through
the Atlantic Gable, the friends of the enterprise
have thought it proper to prepare and arrange
the evidence, proving most conclusively that
intelligent dispatches actually were transmitted
both ways. Among the facts adduced, one of
the most important relates to the collision
which took place between the steamships,
Arabia and Europa. The dispatch, with this
information, was forwarded from New York,
by Mr.. Field, on the erening Of August 18Th,
and was published in London on Friday, the
Doth. Whenthe news was first received in Lon
don the information conveyed was deemed too
meagre, and therefore despatch was trans
mitted from that city, asking for further par
ticulars. This despatch left London at five
O'Clock on that evening, and an answer, giving
the particulars asked for, was received at half
past seven on the same evening. This fact is
explicitly vouched for in an editorial in the
Times, which publishes both dispatches in full
tho 21st.
This, of itself, seems entirely conclusive of
tiic ldCt DOtil Lildt messages were transmitted,
and that it was done with promptness and eff
cheney. But, there is other evidence equally
strong. The London Times of August 23d,
announced for the first time the fact of the
Treaty of Peace with China, which was re-
ceived in London the previous day by telegraph
from St. Petersburg The paper containing
this news reached Valentia on the 25th and
the important intelligence was transmitted
thence to New York, and was published there
on the afternoon of the Doth
Other corroboratory facts are given, and then
the article thus concludes
"Setting aside the Queens message and the
Presidents also, with regard to which decep-
ton might have been practised if the parties
were SO disposed, and also for the same reason
the messages of the two Mayors. We would
ask Of the doubters to account to us for the
fact that the China news was known in this
city in three days after its reception in Lon
don, to tell us how it happened that the steam
er collision was known in London in three
days, also, after the news reached this city, by
what manner of continuance it was that the ar
rival of the Ariel in New York on the 26th of
August, was known in London on the 9th,
and published there on the 18th. When they
answer these questions in way to satisfy can
did minds that there is really some other meth
cd by which these facts could have been per-
formed, we shall ourselves, perhaps, begin to
lose our faith in the Atlantic cable.

KANSAS AND NEBRASKA GOLD MINEs.-The
principal point for finding gold is at South
Platte, piece of territory which it is proposed
to sever from Nebraska, and annex to Kansas.
1t covers an area extending from the Platte
River to the Kansas line, one hundred miles
North and South, by eight hundred miles or
more East apd West.
The Omaha Nebraskian says that gold is
found upon the banks of the Platte, as low
down as st. Vrain's Fort, and the lands grow
richer on approaching the mountains. The
streams which form the tributaries to the Platte
are rich III the auriferous metal. The quartz
rock or natural deposits of gold have not as
yet been discovered. On the 18th of Noyem
her men were making four or five dollars per
diem with the pan, although the season was
too far advanced to admit of profitable work
ing. The gold is very fine, and requires much
care, with such implements, to save it. The
ore is found on the gravel banks among large
boulders, and from six inches to three feet un-
der the surface. Experienced miners say that
from ten to twenty dollars per day can be taken
out OF such places with a sluice and tom, in
seasons when the water is plenty.
Hon. H. u. Graham, delegate elect to Con-
gress from the new territory of Laramie, was
at the mines earlier in the season, in company
with two experienced Californian miners. and
makes substantially the same observations.
lie says that the gold district is very extensive
and IS not confined to the beds of water-courses.

TERRIFIC EXPLOSION IN SAvANNAH-Tb,

TERRIFIC EXPLOSION IN SAvANNAH.-The
explosion of Messrs. Giles & Bradley's Vale
Royal Mill, was one of the most extraordinary
occurrences we ever heard Of The boilers,
five in number, were placed upon the ground !;
the one to which the accident occurred, about
thirty feet in length and four feet in diameter,
was projected endwise from the engineer and
over the head of a fireman standing behind it,
just taking off the top of his hair, and, rushing
through the walls of the mill, tore the side
completely out Two small drying engines
were placed over these large boilers, one of
which, weighing probably three thousand
pounds, was thrown up through the floor of
the room where a large number of hands were
at work, but, remarkable as it may appear, not
a single one was hurt The scene of destruc-
ton is astonishing, windows broken, bricks
thrown hundreds of feet out Of their position,
planks broken and scattered in every direction,
all in an undistinguishable mass.-Sacannah

rHE NEXT MASSACHUSETTS, SENATOR.

1t is not because the people are unintcrested
in so important a matter as the choice of
United States Senator, that the time for
it has been allowed to approach SO quietly; but
because the result has been so generally and
satisfactorily anticipated With the single ex-
ception of the case of Charles Sumner, in
1857, we think there was never so cordial
feeling of unanimity, in the dominant party, in
favor of any man, as that which now looks,
with certainty, fer the reelection Of HENRY
Wilson to the Senate. Faithful when others
failed: proved in time of trials; most coura-
geous in the midst of danger; and, above all,
sustained by record of uniform devotion to
the anti-slavery cause, he is, at once, one OF
the foremost men in the land, and first in the
the hearts of his own constituents.
Since the time when the expiration of his
present term began to be anticipated, and the
succession, to become subject of interesting
calculation, there has not been a moment,
when, if the popular expression could have
been secured, he would not have been tri-
umphantly sustained. So unanimous has this
sentiment been, and so certain the result that
down to this hour, when the form of ballot
is about to ratify their determination, the sub
ject has not been deemed worthy of a para
graph of defence or dispute. We congratulate
the Republicans of Massachusetts,, that they
are able to find, without the first manifestation
of envy, man for their Office, who is worthy
of all the support they can give him. Before
the Legislature puts the official seal of the
Commonwealth on the general appreciation of
his public career, we take the opportunity to
say that in whatever position of official care
and trust, where important duties have de-
manded a ready voice, or willing hand, they
have found both in the Senator from Massa-
chusetts. We trust he is yet to see many
years in the public service, and in that field of
the service, where his talents are SO useful, and
his principles most need defenders.

ANOTHER GAS ExPLosIoN.-A gas explo-
sion took place in Nassau Hall, a building oc-
cupied by the Masonic Fraternity, at the cor
ner of Washington and Common streets, in
Boston, yesterday forenoon. The gas fortu-
iiately had been escaping but few minutes,
so that the damage was much less than it 9TH
erwise would have been. 1t seems that man
was there for the purpose of repairing the gas
fixtures. In one of the ante-rooms he took off
a screw or burner, and finding that no gas es-
capped, he went into the cellar for the purpose
of examining the metre, leaving lighted
lamp in the ante-room.
He was in the cellar but few minutes,
when an explosion occurred in the ante-room,
making report like six-pounder. Upon ex-
animation, it appeared that while the man was
in the cellar, the gas started in the antc-room
from the aperture which he left open on going
to the cellar, and coming in contact with the
light of the lamp, the explosion instantly fol-
lowed.
The two windows on one side and three on
the other, were burst out, and also the glass of
door leading to an ante-room. An open door
connecting with front room allowed the gas
to rush the distance Of forty or fifty feet and
blew out the front window, sash and all.
slight shattering of the plastering round the
capital of one of the pillars of the encamp-
ment rooms took place. On the fourth story,
bolted door was thrown open, splitting off a
part Of the top.
fIhe building was built in the most substan-
tial manner, or the damage to the structure
would have been much greater.

and residue Of his estate goes for the benefit
of Yale College-to be invested, it is reported,
in scholarships. There are many debts to be
first provided for, and the value Of this legacy
to Yale is unknown. AS much the greater

definite calculation.
