MINE HILL.

..t,sG as4. s
 On the western border of Roxbury and lying partly in the tswn of New Milford, is Mine Hill a locality, which, forso twenty years past owing to the grabbed tenacity of it's former possessor, was we'll known and vigorously worked by the members of the legal fraternity Last winter company of men from New Ha. ven and Hartford, purchased from David Stiles Esq of Southbury all his right, title and in- terest in said mines and lands adjoining,8for $lOO,0OO. They immediately set some twenty men at work taking out ore and sending it of to be tested. Several tons were sent to Flu rope. That the report has been favora bls, may be inferred from the fact, that forty addi tional men are to be added to the force already there, and route for a railway. fye,eighths oi a mile long, has enssuryeyed iron. the tunnel along the southeastern slope of the hill to a spur opposite the grist mill of Orrin Seward on the Shepaug river, where a pudding furnace of eight fires is to be erected for receiving and transforming the spathetic ore into steel.- Boarding houses are contracted for and every thing looks like work. The time seems to have come when the fabled resources of this noted place will be developed. Although some sci entific men have condemned the ores here found, common blacksmiths. have from the na- tive ore, aided by nothing but their ordinary facilities made some of the keenest cutting cutlery

The Atlantic Telegraph.

Almost every one will regret the probable failure of the Atlantic Telegraph. The care that had been taken in it's manufacture, the caution that was being exercised in laying it, and the sanguine hopes of ita proprietors in its success. had taught us to look upon the en- tsrprise as almost certain achievement Nevertheless, but little enthusiasm has been upon it by American people. The Company has taken 10 pains to make the scheme. 2 popnlar one, Ie losingI scenes of our civil var have been occnpying public at tension the preparations were all confined within Gtet Britain, and the prescribed rates of ,comnlpnication were so high as to confne its use'to matters only of national and com mercial importance.s sfgtfl lffyisffJ
 When the tardy preparations had been com. pleted and the Great Eastern had really start ed from Valentia Bay, public expectation was placed upon the. alert. and the time was com puted to an hour when the western end would be landed and the international tie completed
 The next advices rather dampened our hopes however, as they stated that bad breach had been detected in the cable, before two hundred miles of it had been laid. Though this was quickly repaired, the impression was inevitable that some other defects in the wire might pass undiscovered, to break after 1t was laid, and ruin the enterprise. With one or two subse
 Equent and similar exceptions. the Great Eastern proceeded fill lie s5cond instant, and had laid about twelve hundred miles of the cable, when all communication with the shore ceased, and had not been renewed when the steamship Mo ravian, that brings the latest dispatches, left Liverpool. ''
 When this breach occurred, the cable was being laid in the deepest water between the two continents, and the task of recovering it to repair the breakage would at best be very slow and hypothetical. The present opinion is that the expedition has been abandoned. If the fleet had not returned. we should undoubt- edly have received some tidings of it from Farther Point before this time. This opinion is strengthened too, by the arrival at Heart s Content of the Sphynx, a convoy of the Great Eastern, that parted company with her on the 27th ut. in g gale. and had been on on an unsuc- cessful search for her since We suppose that the course of the fleet had been previously de- termined upon, so that if the latter vessel had been in her proper place, the Sphynx would not have been likely to miss her. ,-@ a ..a
 It is possible that the, progress of the work has only been delayed for two or three days and we may yet witness the successful termina
 ion of this magnificent enterprise.
