Tho Atlantic Cable.

On the Goth Of August, the Atlantic
Cable parted aud sank in about two
thousand iathoms, or over two miles of
water. 1,lS6 miles of the cable had
already been paid out, and the Great
Eastern, at the time of the breaking
ofthe cable, was $50 milesfrom Hearts
Content. An effort was made to pick
up the lost end, with grapnels. in
10000 teetof water. The ropes not
being OF sufficient strength, the Crap
-pllpS apparatus were lost, buoys were
placed in the sea indicating the place,
and The Great Eastern returned to
England. The Chief Engineer, the
Directors of the Construction Compa
ny. and the Electricians are confident
that the Great Eastern can Iay the
Atlantic'Cable successfully, and hope
to recover the lost end when stronger
tackle is procured. For the present,
The effort to lay the cable is failure.

ofthe Convention, then what was in
tendedP-if simply to buy him out,
then let those who wished to do so
come forward and buy Roland at his
price. He would pay as much as any
other man to effect change. He
happened to know that the income of
Roland would not justify him in en-
ploying an assistant. The party should
patronize and sustain the paper in
such manner that he could afford to
do so. During his speech Olds was
frequently interrupted by Dr. Beers
tier, who finally told him that he had
talked over his time, to which Olds
replied. you have done the same thing,
for you have been talking ever since
commenced.
Mr.. Stockdale said he could not see
why Roland should be so sensitive in
regard to calling in assistance. His
physician had twice called consult
ing physician in cases of a serious ma
ture in his family, and he confided in
him all the mLre for it. We have q
very sick patient on our hands and he
thought Roland should call in assist
ance.
Mr.. Schleich obtained the floor. He
and his Democracy had been assailed.
He could say what Mr.. Cox could not,
that he had never voted anything else
but democratic ticket. n5 49,.
Cox denied that he had ever done
so. Schlelth reiterated his assertion,
and both spent considerable time in
trying to show that they had never
done what would have been moro to
their credit than any other act Of their
lives. l9a a, r-"

cd. The vote was so divided that it
failed to give satisfaction and divis-
ion was called for. Some alteration
ensucd as to how the vote should be
taken, 1t was suggested that SO ma

the vote could not DO taken unless they
wonld retire. =
The matter was finally settled by
requiring the Convention to pass be-

taken resulted in tabling the resolu.

The Methodist Church, South, is more guilty in
the matter Of rebellion, because more and
more wealthy, than any other religious deDUmna-

All over the country, visited by every household
and to "a man were bitter secessiOnsts. They had
already tried secession when they left the Church
North with sons success Is Is not strange they
hoped 10 succeed in the State well. The recent
meetings Of Southern Conferences have given L.
full proof that large majority of these men are
rebels still. In Missouri they refuse to take the
oath. B shop Kavanaugh preached a lugubrous
sermon, and this was not its worst feature, at the
session of one of the Missouri Conferences We
are glad to know that these Missouri preachers are
being indicted and that they will TO Obliged take
the oath quit.
We alluded yesterday 20 the action OF the Ken
lucky Conference. We are in receipt of further
facts. We learn say the Louisville Press, that de-
fection from the NJ. E. Church, South is going on
at all :hs principle points within the Kentucky
Conference. At Lexington the Church nearly
unanimously declined receiving the preacher sent
by Bishop Kavsnaugh. From other points we have
seen letters from leading laymen expressing great
dissatisfaction with the action Of the late Confer
ence In some of the charges, the substantial, re-
liable members will not support any man who voted
for the minority report which favored the perpet-
uation of the Church, South In Newport the 10y
al men of the Church are greatly ncensed TO find a
man fresh from the rebellion imposed upon them.-
In Coyington some of the principal members Of
Scott Street Church have held a meeting at which
thevSresolVed to withdraw from the Church, South,
and thus relieve themselves from the support of
ministry and church that has committed itself
against reunion. From indications, we incline to
the opinion that the preachers OF the Kentucky Con-
ference greatly erred to the disposition OF the
people to reunite with the NJ. E. Church. The I'M
wise course of the Conference will create discomfort
everywhere among the churches.-Quincy Wig

Dr. LanfOEd 3. Hunt Of Buffalo, New York, late
Medical Director Of cavalry forces of the military
division Of the Gulf furnishes the Buffalo Express
the following statement:
About June lst, Of this year I was stationed at
Selma Ala. One morning received visit from
Col Cunningham, C. 5. \, late chief Of staff for
Gen. John Morgan, Of Ohio raid Rotoriety. The
conversation turned upon horse flesh Col. q. said
that in the summer Of 1864 he was ordered from
Chicago, H. to Richmond, Va and, not daring to
take the he made the entire distance from Chi
cago TO point in Virginia, where ne could take the
cars for Richmond, at the rate Of City miles q day
Naturally this drew out inquiries AS 10 what he,
Confederate Colonel was doing in Chicago in the
summer Of 1864
Col. Cunningham said that he was a delegate TO
the Chicago Democratic National Convention, from
district in Southern Illinois, This residence is ID
TENNESSEE and that he had the honor Of voting for
the nomination OF Mcclellan. His real errand there
however was to release the Confederate prisoners at
Camp Douglas. He had 800 picked men OF his own
command concentrated at Chicago. Upon these he
could rely, and be also had the promise of 1000
uopperheads TO assist him. He said that he found
the 'copperheads 10 be only water snakes. They
took to the tall grass" At any rate he got no ana
from them, and he said because they We're the
d-dest towards on the fOutstOol.'
Col Cunningham further said that with his reli-
able 800 men he could, at some loss, have taken
Camp Douglas the evening before the Convention
met; that he would have done 50 if everybody else
had been as plucky rs Alexander Long, Of Ohio;
that Long was game, but that Vallandigham was
Il thorough going coward, snd his lack OF moral
courage defeated the whole enterprise.
