New York for Lincoln.

The World, q neutral paper, says: The
Journal of Commerce comedies the State Of
New York to Lincoln, since the failure Of tn,
Breckenridge and Douglas Committees to max,
any satisfactory arrangement for joint elect
oral ticket II the other States It says,
cannot avert the catastrophe Of sectional de-
nomination, We may make up our minds to sub
NIT to Il with the best grace We can. Possibly,
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and other states,
may achieve the victory which should have
crowned the State of New York.
This intimates clearly enough that New York
Is lost and the prospect Is slender Of carrying
Pennsylvania and other States against Lincoln,
or these humiliating attempts to fuse with the
Douglas men here would not have been advised
by President Buchanan and the national Breck-
inridge committee. II the last chance Of car
rying New York against Lincoln has vanished,
there Is no longer any reason why the anti
Douglas democrats of this State should not vote
In body for their own candidates, and thus
enjoy the satisfaction Of expressing their pref
erenccs, since they cannot elect their ticket"

- The attempts that have been made to re-
cover the Atlantic Telegraph Cable have prov
ed how enormously II was constructed. The
heavy wire covering, twisted round the central
core and meant to constitute the main stay OF
strength, was found to be quite rotten, while
the copper wires and the gutta-percha OF the
core we're always In good condition. In some
instances, the cable was lifted. solely by the
strength Of the copper wires. In view Of these
facts, Il Is suggested by London scientific
journal that the cable has been prematurely
abaudoned. Owing to the rottenncss of the
wire covering II may be impossible to raise the
cable. but II the core be sound 1t may be posi-
BILE yet to work the line across the entire At
laptic.
