PATRIOTIC DEvorIoS.-The Montana
Post says the Legislature of that Territory
IS about to hold an extra session for the
purpose of granting charter for the only
remaining free road in the Territory. 1t
is well that so unaecountable an oversight
should be remedied. So far as the late
Legislature of Nevada IS concerned, our
people might look for similar movement
here, but there is Mt an inch Of road left
where toll is not collected now; nor any
other private franchise which is not taken
up. Mud Lake, however, was overlooked
by the legislature of thousand franchises
owing perhaps to the want of cash to
pay for the votes to get bill through.
Consequently, Mud Lake is yet free to the
birds of the air, the fowls of the sea, the
beasts of the field, the lap Of the coyote,
and the stamping ground of the noble
red man." 1t was, indeed, great over
sight that a two-thirds vote did not
grant it to somebody.

A prayer for LandIOrds,

The following prayer, applicable to the
present times, was formerly used in the
Primer, or Book Of Private Devotions,
used by the Reformed Church until the
accession of Queen Mary of England. We
reproduce it now, in the hope that it may
be adopted once more in our churches of
all denominations, at least until the first
of May. 1t would awaken hopes in tens
of thousands of anxious minds, and per-
haps prove instrumental in reviying senti-
ments of moderation and humanity In the
hearts of landlords za.
The earth is thine, o Lord, and all that
is contained therein; Notwithstanding thou
hast given the possession thereof TO the
children of men, to pass over the Tune OF
their short pilgrimage in this vale OF tears
We heartily pray thee to send the holy
Spirit into the hearts of them that possess
the grounds, pastures and dwelling places
of the earth, that they, remembering them.
selves to be thy tenants, may not rack and
stretch out the rents of their houses and
lands, nor yet take unreasonable hines and
incomes, after the manner Of coVetous
worldlings; but so let them out TO others
that the inhabitants thereof may be able
both to pay the rents, and also honestly
live to nourish their family, and to relieve
the poor. Give them grace also to con-
slider that they are but strangers and PILL
grims in this world, having here no dwell
ling place, but seeking one to come tina.
they remembering the short continuance
of their life. may be content with that
which is sufficient, and not join house to
house, nor couple land to land. to the I'M
poverishmeht Of others; but so behave
themselves in letting.out their tenements'
lands and pastures, that after this life they
may be received into everlasting dwelling
places, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

me ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH.


The London Times gives description
of the progress Of the manufacture Of the
Atlantic cable. Two hulks-the Iris and
Amethyst-have been placed at the dis-
posal of the Telegraph Construction Com
pany by the Admiralty. to convey the
cable from the works to the Great Eastern
steamship. On the 10Th Of January was
commenced the process OF shipping the
irs. iensth-25o miles of the cable. The
shipment by the Iris and the Amethyst
alternately will consume four months.
The cable is wound on the hulks at the
rate of two miles per hour, scrupulously
careful tests for insulation and "conduc-
,ivity" being continued at the same time.
The entire interior portion of the Great
Eastern has been removed to make room
for three water tight tanks of solid wrought
iron-each being IS feet in diameter, and
90 feet high, and holding respectively sl7,
500, and 635 miles of cable. The deck on
which the cable rests has been greatly
strengthened by knees, deck-beams, etc.,
and beams and supports are arranged to
resist the lateral pressure. 1t is expected
that the whole cable will be on the steam
ship by the first of May. The total guam
tity of cable required TO connect Valentia
with Bulls Bay, Newfoundland, is $500
nautical, or nearly 2,700 statue miles, in
GLIDING margin of 600 statue miles for
the "slack," which is required to prevent
STRAIN on the cable by currents, rough
weather. etc. The weight OF the cable is
5000 tons, and its bulk would make a
coil IS feet in diameter and nearly 60 feet
high, or "enough to fill Astley's Theatre
from the ground of the circle almost to the
roof" The new cable is said to be great
ly superior to the old one. Though much
larger, the weight of the new cable in
water will be less than half that of the old
one. In size, strength. condition, insula-
ton, and outer covering. the new rope is
three times, and in many important par
ticulars FIVE times, as good as the old one.
The breaking strain Of the new rope is u
tons, while the maximum strength Of the
old one was 81 tons. The new cable will
bear its own weight in IL miles of still
water. The shore ends will be most mas
sive. in length about 80 miles. The fac
tory turns out about II miles of completed
rope per day. The laying of the cable
will commence at the European end and
thence to Newfoundland. to get the benefit
of the westerly winds, as steaming
against head wind, the Great Eastern is
as steady as a rock" The rate across will
not exceed seven knots an hour, at which
rate ten or eleven days would lay the
whole. One part of the route is 1000 to
$500 fathoms deep, nearly three statue
miles.

THE LONDON TIMES ON AMERI-
CAN AFFAIRS.

The Time, has lately specialized extern
sively on American afairs-always taking
sides with the South. But Its wild theo-
ries and sympathies are now nearly at an
end, and the treason which 1t has encour-
aged is soon to be buried in certain "last
ditch" Houseless, homeless, and out
casts from their own country, the London
Times can now invite to its own shores
the leaders, aiders and abettors of the
Southern Confederacy. The following
extract from an article in the Times of
late date is rich, rare and spicy-the con-
Guiding sentence, especially, is quite re-
freshing just about this time, when the
nation is rejoicing over the FALL OF RICK
xoSD! When the latest news gets over
the big pond, it will doubtless have about
the same effect on the Tines as throwing
salt upon snail has. But, here is what
the Times says about the " situation I"
when it last heard from America. Read
it and laugh:
1.-THE idol Of American worship en-
braces a continent-nay, world it in
cludes all the future it claims to subju-
gate the entire realm Of human thought.
It is treason and heresy to stop short of
the whole visible and speculative sphere.
The world is to be regenerated on this
new model-the New World, then the
Old. Accordingly, the present holders of
this august destiny can give up nothing.
It was decapitstion in China to doubt
that the Emperor was brother of the Sun
and Moon, and it is political death in
America to doubt that all nations viii re-
ceive the law from Washington, annex
themselves to its mild realm. and bow to
its easy yoke. In the Old World-which
has been ba:tled, and bufeted, and beaten
by hard facts, if not into wisdom. at least
into submission-when conquerer is de-
feated he gives up his conquest; when a
State cannot fight the world, it says so
and gives in. By the same rule when
private man has played for great stakes
and lost, he sits down and makes The best
of it. He knows that it IS possible to ex-
ist without large fortune, without high
position, without dignified employment,
without many friends, without an acre Of
land, without even house to call his
own. He congratulates himself If he has
not lost honor and sunk into caste be-
low his habits and natural instincts. The
most overwhelming and overstepping am
bition may end by accommodating itself
to q very humble place, and finding hap
p,ness in self-respect and self-content.
There are few, indeed. that have not had
to surrender good deal of their early
day-dreams. The American cannot do
this. The dream, which others on this
side. the Atlantic can better describe in all
its grandeur, is too strong reality for
him. Having worshipped it and obeyed
it-having laid on its shrine all he held
dear, he is now its humble slave. He
must do as it bids him, and go through
blood and flames to enforce its dire be-
hests. No partial sacrifice will appease
it. All or nothing he asked for ; all or
nothing it demands at his hands. So long
IS that idol stands on its pedestal, the war
must rage on; and we see no symptom Of
its early overthrow" srsafss

FINANCIAL.

The Mercantile Gazette, commenting
upon the panic" in the East, says that
the decline is in the currency or paper
values of the commodities referred to
the gold value remaining very nearly if
not precisely as before; hence the infiu-
ence of these and similar fluctuations will
but slightly affect those parties whose
transactions are based upon gold values.
1t IS under circumstances like these that
our metallic currency vindicates its great
superiority. So far as changes in value
are the result of increased cost of produc.
ton or importation, or Of supply and de-
mand, they will reach us; but beyond
this we see nothing to disturb the course
of our own market.
The New York Times of the 2lst Feb
ruary, in speaking of the appointment Of
Mr.. McCulloch as Secretary Of the Trea-
sury, assures the public that under his ad-
minisration there will be economy, q
prompt execution OF the revenue laws,
and grand financial policy, looking to
the speedy resumption of specie pay
ments." The same authority intimates
that he will defeat the efforts of the
gamblers" to sustain the premium on
gold, and in all proper ways will use the
whole power of his department to restore
the finances of the country to condition
fatal TO all speculations which damage
labor and add cost TO the Government"
This policy of the new Secretary (thus
foreshadowed) has doubtless been fully
inauguratedssince his induction into Office
and may have had some influence in low
ering the premium on gold, apart from the
very favorable military situation, the i'm
pulse given to exports of produce and the
decline in imports since January last.
