ana rrinI of fhe Asaassins.


The trial of the assassination conspira-
tors was continued yesterday, and it is
stated, though without any authority that
we sre aware of, that Harold was first ar
raigned, and that gratifying progress was
made" The Wsr Department has seen
ft to surround the proceedings of this
commission with secrecy which seems to
rs not only needless but actually harmful.
It's sessions are held in q military prison,
closely guarded by soldiers, to which no
one has been admitted save the judges, the
prosecutors and the defendants. It's pro-
ceedings are kept strictly private, and,
save by rumor, we have never had any in
formation either of the names of those
who compose il or of those who
are srrsigned before it. We can
not see the necessity for this secresy.
The crime for which these persons were
arraigned was most especially public one.
It was one against the nation, and the
whole nation have peculiar and rightful
claim to know who are the murderers and
what is the proof against them. No harm
can be done by publishing the details Of
the trial. This harm at least will result
from keeping them secret-that the Gov
erRment viii be charged with a sort of
Star Chamber proceeding by which citi-
zens are srrAigned before secret tribunal
and condemned and sentenced without al
lowing the people TO Judge of the justice
of the proceedings. Now that the war is
over it would seem well to return TO the
old order of things and allow the civil law
70 take its accustomed course It is ample
for the punishment of all criminals.

Our hopes that Kirby Smith would fol-
low the suit of Lee and Johnston in surren.
dering and disbanding his forces seem
doomed to disappointment. This rebel
does not seem TO hsvs the sense for which
we had given him credit. he seems de-
termined to die in the last ditch and fran
ticslly appeals to his soldiers 10 "prolong
the struggle" The Trans Mississippi reb-
ella have not borne the burthen Of the war.
They have been raising crops and srecu-
lAting in cotton, with, comparatively speak
ing, none to molest or make them afraid.
They have not felt the terror and desolA-
tion of Shermsn's marches, nor have they
been attacked, driven and beaten by the
resistless columns of Grant. A little Of
Shsridan's cavalry, of Shermsn's bummsrs,
or of StonemAn's raiders will give them S
realizing sense of what war really is.
The richest thing in Kirby Smiths man
iiesto is his talk of protraeting the struggle
until they are succOred by foreign aid
There is no foreign nation which would
dare to lend aid to the rebellion. If any
power ever entertained the remotest ides Of
doing so that ides is now bsnished. Hard
ly nation on the globe would even hArbor
JEFF Davis, much less recognize him.

The nraDarstions for the laying Of the
second great Atlantic cable are going rapid
" forward. and, IS they approach compile
fion. nublic attention on both sides Of the
Atlantic is being attracted TO the enter
prise, and spsculAtions are excited IS to the
probabilities of failure or success Four-
teen hundred miles of the cable have been
eoiled away in the tanks Of the Grest
Eastern, and thousand miles more are
yet TO be placed there, so that il viii prob
ably take most of the months of Nay and
June 10 complete the work, Gad the cable
will probably be laid in July. This is per-
hAps the best month in the year in which
70 do the work of laying down. It is, on
an average, the most free from hurricanes
and from the dense fogs which in certSin
seasons prevail on the Newfoundland coast,
and ice -bergs from which some danger Is
70 be apprehended, are less likely to make
their appearanceat that period than during
other months
Every test, appliance and provision for
strength and perfeetibility in working hss
been secured by the careful forethought Of
the scientific men in charge Of the cable.
Electricians have been constantly employed
on board the Crest Eastern, who have sub
jected every foot Of the cable to the most
rigid tests and it is believed that not even
the most trihing defect can have escaped
their scrutiny. A current Of electricity
have been kept constantly passing through
the coils, and the tests thus applied enable
the operators already to calculate with
something like certainty that st least
twelve words per minute can be paastd d
across the broad Atlantic from London to
New York.
In view of AI the precautions taken to
secure the safety of the wire, it would
seem that good weather, careful seaman
ship, and discipline and care in paying out
the cable would make success certain. And
yet we think that the number of persons
who are sanguine in their expectations
that the telegraph will be success is COM
pGratively small The failure of 1859 has
rather damped the expectant srdOr of the
people. It is felt that the slightest defect
in any part of the long cable viii be fatal
that a mechanics remissness, 8 sharp
rock, the uncouth wallow of some monster
of the Vastly deep may undo all the labor
which has been expended in the work
and that any such misfortune is irrepsrs-
BILE. Still, there is q universal hope that
the great international telegraph may
prove 8 success. It would be eminently
appropriate if the conclusion Of our war
could be marked by 50 sublime victory
of Peace IS the successful Inauguration of
the Atlantic Telegraph

A report telegrsphed hence that Senator
Sumner was shot at, one night last week,

information now in the possession Of the
authorities, that two attempts have been
made to assssslnate the Senator. 10 One
Of these attempts was made q night or
two ago, and the other made in January
last. It was q knowledge of these
attempts, and of threatening let

prompted some of his friends to request
that sentry be posted at the door OF the

stor questioned the sentry as to who had
him stationed there, the reply was, "The

lieved, and not to leave this post, should
you send me away" On the evening
on which President Lincoln was assassi-

Al last accounts, JEFF. Davis was at
Washington, Georgia, the county seat of
Wilkes county, some fifty miles north of
Augusta, where he is reported cornered by
Wilson and StonemAn. We think there
Is little doubt but that our cavalry will
soon overhaul him. Should he escape them,
however, he will probably not attempt to
reach the Mississippi our occupation Of the
intervening territory having doubtless con-
WINGED him of the folly of such an attempt.
It is more plausible to suppose that he will
make for some point on the Georgia or
FIorida coast, and stealing upon q dark
night from one the numerous bayous or
creeks, essay by means of some rebel cr,,
to reach Havana or some other . AT

NEwToNvILLE, Nov. TO- 1864.
DR.. DIGHTHILL-Dea7 Sir: Allow me
to express my grateful thanks for the skill
and kind attention rendered to my daugh-
ter, whose ears have been badly affected
for many years, and for some months past
has been nearly deprived of hearing. The
loss of this important sense Is certsinly a
sad deprivation, painfully embarrassing,
and 10 degree known only to those who
have experienced it. If therefore, there
be remedy for this great evil, the cause
of humanity obviously requires that It
should be universally disseminated. L feel
it my duty, therefore, and it affords me
much pleasure, to give my testimony 10 the
happy effects of your treatment and reme-
dies. My daughter has suffered from deaf
ness since eSrly childhood. The left ear
has been badly diseased. The right ear
also, for several years, was seriously affect
cd, and the disease apparently increasing,
threatening the entire loss of her hearing
It was with extreme difficulty that she
could participate in the conversation of her
friends, and for two years has been deprived
of this source of social enjoyment. Hap
PLY my attention was directed to your sd-
vertisement, and was induced to place
her in your care. Your treatment under
favor of kind Providence, has been sue
cessfuL Her hearing, SO far ss can judge,
appears to be perfectly restored. Whether
this restoration is permanent is question
time alone can determine, but present re-
suits are certainly very gratifying.

Truly and gratefully yours,

From the Chattanooga Gazette, 7thl
We have information from what we
have reason to believe is undoubted good
authority, that JEFF. Davis was at the town
of Washington, Wilkes County, Georgia,
on Tuesday night last. He had no escort
whatever, with the exception of a few
personal friends, and, of course, no wagons
loaded with specie.
Benjamin Hill, 8 prominent politician of
Georgia, left Atlanta on Monday night, to
go to Washington to meet Davis. The
fugitive will attempt to cross Georgia,
Alsbsms and Mississippi, in disguise. He
intends to make the attempt to reach
Texas. .. ..a.t
Washington is q town of about one
thousand inhabitants, situated in Wilkes
County, of which it is the county seat, fly
two miles northeast of Milledgeville. A
branch railroad, twenty miles in length,
connects it With the Georgia Railroad at
Cumming, and from there is uninterrupted
communication eastward with Augusta, or
westward, through Atlanta, to West Point
West of the last named plsee, the railroads
have been seriously injured by rsiding par
ties from General Wilson's command The
last time, previous to this, that JEFF was
heard from, he was said to be at Abbey
vile, South Carolina, holly pursued by
Colonel Palmer, with portion of the 18th
Pennsylvania Cavalry, (Anderson's troop
of General Stoneman's command.
AbbeyvillO is thirty miles onlyin anorth-
east direction from Washington. Good
roads lead from Abbeyville in a southwest
direction of small village called Peters,
burg, and ferry called Barksdale, both on
the Savannah river. Barksdale Ferry is
about forty miles from Augusta, and Peters
burg eight or ten miles further. 1.
Benjamin Hill, who left Atlanta on last
Monday night, to join Davis, was formerly
q prominent member of the Wing party,
in the State of Georgia, and ran for Gov
ernor Againss Joe Brown, the present in
cumbent, short time before the rebellion.
