WASHINGTON, Jan. "a.

Elk President Tyler had long, salts
factory and friendly interview with the
President today The latter expressed
his belief that there will be 10 collision
between the Federal and State forces du-
ring the remainder of his administration
and that he should make every effort to
prevent it and preserve peace.
Mr.. Tyler will probably remain here
till the 4th of February, to meet the com
missoners from States other than Vir-
ginia.
Larz Anderson, brother of Major An
derson, will leave TO morrow for his home
in Cincinnati His efforts in Washing
ton and Charleston were instrumental in
producing better understanding be-
tween Major Anderson and the South
Carolina authorities.
A large number of leading Republi-
cans from various parts of the country
have been here for several days. There
is a great deal OF consultation among the
friends of the incoming administration,
the result of which may soon be devel
oped.

Doctor then lifted 100 pounds. Mr..
Thompson attempted it several times. but
failed. The Doctor then lifted 1900
pounds with harness on. Upon a second
attempt it was found to be broken and he
was unable TO use it further The har-
ness of Mr.. Thompson was too large for
him, SO that he had to.suspend efforts
in that direction. Mr.. Thompson then
proceeded by degrees until he had lifted
2,l06 pounds. The judges then award
ed him the prize of $500. DR.. W. SAID

The failure Of the Atlantic Cable was
owing to the faulty insulations of the
conducting wire. The substance used
to insulate through was good while SOL

temperature, and it is known that por-
ton of it was spoiled while lying in the
yard of the mandatory by the heat of
the sun. A Mr.. Hughes has lately pat

nature, that it maintains semi fluid con
dition, until it comes in contact with the
water, when it Immediately becomes SOL

plan fills its own leaks.

ton culture. A company was formed in
London three years ago TO construct two
canals for irrigation, which will open
400,0 900 square miles of cotton growing
land, an area larger than that devoted to
cotton culture in the United States
Twenty five millions of dollars are annu
ally expended on these immense improve
ments in India, having for leading, if
not primary object, to promote cotton
growing. The increase in the exports
already show what must result. The ex-
ports of cotton from India are now three
times as great as they were twelve years
ago, and the production must be i'm
mense when all the projected improve
ments are finished. And these Facts
show that the Cotton States of this Union,
in breaking up the best government that
ever existed, and defying the sentiment
of the civilized world by establishing
slaveholding and slavery perpetuating
confederacy, thinking to gain considera
ton and immunity through the power of
cotton, are but fastening their own ruin.
Every appliance will be brought to bear
by the North, and by the other nations
of the world, to render themselves indie
pendent of such Confederacy, and that
they would soon be so, admits of no
doubt.
