outnumber the males some 81 600 and in New
York there l. small prepoDdersnce Of females,
but 10 Pennsylvania the males are more numer-
Gus. This difference between our State and the
whole OF the States, Is IN great part owing TO the

emigration OF the men to the new States, espe.
ciay those on the Pacific coast The males in
California Outnumber the females near - 600, or

Is One OF our government officials Just re-
turned from Peru, tells us that among the first
and most frequent inquiries made of him there
about our public men was, whether he knew or
had ever seen the celebrated American Chemist
DR.. j. &. Aver, OF Lowell. His remedies are
founS in every village from the elevated slopes
of the Andes down to the coast, and their re-
markabe cures seem TO attract even more atten-

of wonder at their effects, takes a far deeper

of medical problems is so much more generally

TIE NEw ATLANTIC CABLE Mr.. Cyrus W
Field has just returned from Europe bringing
with him a specimen of the new \ tauiic cable
Ii is far superior to the one that was first laid
IL is about three fOurths Of an inch in diameter
composed OF seven small copper wires. strongly
pressed together till they look almost like one
surrounded 10y gutta percha about oue-third OF
an inch thick, and then by ten strong iron wires
twisted rope fashion These wires are wrapped
in the best Russian hemp. Glass. Elliott a Co,
the contractors, have commenced the maEuiac-
ture OF the cable, and will prosecute it With the
utmost energy ana despatch They will receive
about $4,000, 900 for making and LAYING the
cable, and turning it over, in complete working
order, to the company. G.ass, Elliott y Co. have
never entertained the slightest doubt of the en-
tire practic4bihty Of the Atlantic Telegraph "a
a scientific undertaking and a commercial ven
ture and illnstrat@ thai- faish hy- senarti-,f- "a
large part of their pay in stock. The insurance
companies OF London are now insuring all risks
in the enterprise at p per cent. premium.
It is supposed that the English government
will detail one or two steamers from the naval
service to accompany the cabe-laying expedition,
and render any assistance that may be required.
The entire arrangement and conduct of the ex-
peditiOn is devOlved upon Glass, Elliott & Co.
Their plans are not wholly determined upon a.
yet, but they will uy TO charter the Great East
ern, which could easily carry the cable. and
would ride over the waves with the desirable
steadness. The distance between tho. too
coasts is about one thousand six hundred and
forty nautical miles; but Glass, Elliott a Co.
will make two thousand miles of the cable The
laying is to be done in June, July OF August OF
1864.
