only IN his last ,cN and nstouent-he has
emancirated his own slaves for consciences
sake. and for the sake Of the testimony which

The ATLANTIC CABLE-The opera
tons for raising the Atlantic cable will
be commenced, probably, in May at
Newfoundland, it being believed that the
fault lies within three or tour miles of
this coast, and the expenses will not ex-
coed $4,000 which would be amply
covered by the recovery OF even a por-
ton of the cable. the second fault is
believed to be situated at distance OF
not more than $50 or 200 miles length
OF cab!c) from Valencia, instead OF go
miles, as previously supposed. The ac-
tual distance from the shore to the point
in question is presnmcdto be about only
100 miles. 1t is proposed to manufacture
new cable about 100 miles long, and to
splice it on to the part where the main
fault exists, previously ascertaining that
perfect communication exists with the
shore. Even, should the expedition not
succeed in its main object Of making he
cattle speak again, a large quantity OF the
old cable may be recovered.

\ PRUDENT PoLITlCIAN.-It has been
revealed that Mr.. Abram Lincoln, of
Illinois, whose late speech-msking tour
in New England was believed to be de-
signed to bring himself out as a candi-
date for the Presidency, has been care
full enough of the main chance to charge
price for his speeches. From the cir
cumstance, one would Judge that the or
ator did not feel very certain OF getting
the Presidential nomination; but, to
Judge from actual demonstrations does
not appear that the circumstance will
help hun to many votes from the east
ward. Mr.. Lincoln spoke in New York
and there charged 5000 for his speech
-whereupon, as we see by the New
York Day Book, the ~ Dung Mems Re-
publican Central Committee" have held
meeting to inaugurate series OF free
speeches, and the President of the assO-
cation declared his opinion as follows
