TRUE AS PREACHING. - Senator Clark,
from New Hampshire, In recent speech in
the u. 5. Senate said:
There are those who cry, The Union as il
was, and the Constitution as it is But am
free and bold TO confess that am for Union
without slavery, and an amended Constitution
making 1t forever impossible. This revolt was
to preserve slavery and we shall fail OF our
whole duty IL we do not remove the melting
cause. To restore this Union with slavery In
il when we have subdued the rebel armies.
would be again to build your house on its
smoking ruins when you had not put out the
fire which burned 1t down. II the dire calam-
tiles now Detailing us be the 'retributions of
Providence upon stupendous crime,' what
mad folly to hug that crime, and seek TO avoid
future punishment! Let my people go.' But
Pharaoh would not let them go; and then
came sufierings, and plaques, and the shifting
of the frst-born. Oh how many of our first
born have been smLten and fallen. Let US be
wise and heed the teaching. There is a Proyi-
dence in the grea. events now transpiring.-
The people see the hand. 1t points the way
They are filed with hope aud faith. They
follow the pillar and the cloud, and will strug-
gle and endure"

Specufatlons Concerning the Atlantic Ca


Specufations Concerning the Atlantic Ca
Bile.
The Telegraphic Journal, a London paper.
INDUCES in some curious speculations about
the new Atlantic cable which is to be laid
next year, with the help of the Great Eastern
1t Is intended to guage the capacity OF the ca
BILE at working speed Of eight words a min
ute I; but, allowing only six in actual practice,
the Journal arrives at the following results
Six words per minute would give three hun
dred aud sixty per hour or eight thousand
six hundred and forty per day of twenty four
hours, which il would be necessay to occupy
in consequence OF the vast amount of business
which would have to be transmitted. Allow
ing three hundred working days in the year,
the number OF words which 1t would be prac-
tlcable TO transmit would amount TO 1902 900.
or l28 600 messages of twenty words each per
annum, being at the rate of four hundred and
thirty-two per day, which. at e5 per message,
would yield revenue of e62S 900; and, after
allowing ont of this sum e2l6000 for contin-
gencies, there would remain net revenue of
G432,0 as the result OF three hundred days
= operation, at the end of the year. The annual
disbursements are estimated at $4,000, which
leaves balance of e340.000. This is cheer
fnl prospect for the stockholders in the enter
prise. But the cable is not yet laid, and, when
laid, it may be as short-lived as its predeces-
sor of 1858.
Ane JouInai mas some other statistics winch
are interesting. The Varna and Balaklaya
cable worked at the rate OF five words per
minute the Red Sea submarine line is worked
up to seven words, and the Malta and Alex
andrla TO ten. The speed OF the old Atlantic
cable was only two and a half words The
greatest speed attained on long submarine
lines is by the use of the Hughes instrument;
next to this comes the Morse instrument
Improvements are SO constantly made in this
department ofscientifc research, so that the
year yet TO elapse before England and Ameri-
ca possess common pulse under the sea may
solve some problems yet unriddled.

PATRIOTIC AND TRUTHFUL SENTIMENTS.
Hon. +. E. Woodbridge, of Vermont, at
meeting of the Union League in Washing
ton, gave utterance 10 the following patriotic
and truthful sentiments
The day for pleasant speaking has passed.
Speeches are good for nothing Uratory is
good for nothing, only so far as it incites to
vigorous action, There is no hating between
two opinions. The gallant hero OF iorty bat
ties will lead our armies on TO victory Shall
we listen to the cry Of peace, sung in our
ears by Representative from the CONNER
cial emporium of the United States, or shall
we listen TO that noble Representative of the
State OF Maryland, which SO recently and
overwhelmingly voted for emancipation? If
we meet with victory on the Rapidan we will
accept it with pleasure; If with defeat, we
will accept 1t with resignation. With Grant
and Lincoln, under God, We will continue TO
fight. We are told that this war is caused by
Abolitionists; but who does not know it TO
be ale? Our fathers found slavery here
Washington and Jefferson believed it would
die out; but it did not do it, and we have had
