fully made to recover the cable, though it
was grappled with at an immense distance,
but not so effectuaIly as to he reunited with
the portion in the Great Essten which re
mained to be submerged.
The mammoth vessel returned for addi-
tional "means and appliances" which may

exact place where the breaking occurred so
well buoyed that it can readily be found
at any time. As soon as the Directors of
the Atlantic Telegraph Company ascer-
tanned that there was a failure, beyond
doubt, they called meeting of sharehoI-
ders, ano In less time than it has taken us
to write these lines, it was agreed to con-
tinue the effort to establish submarine
telegraph Between Valebtia and Newfound
land, and further sum Of ESQ, 900 (eq11al
to 100000 in gold,) was subscribed on
the spot. There is persistency and courage
in this, and both are characteristic of our
friend John Bull, for whom, as a distant
relative in good circumstances We have
considerable respect, Independent Of his be-

Graphic Accounts of Shcridnn's Battle Of

New York, April 4.-The World has prspb

which was the turning point in the giant con
fllct, and which under Sheridans genersIshIp
will take rank with anything on record II ap-
pears that Grant wasnOt satisfied with the dav's
business on Friday, and placed Sheridan in su-
preme command ofthe whole OF Warren's Corps
and all the cavalry. Sheridan at once maneu-
vered with his cavalry, dsmOunting a portion
in front of the rebels and gradually pressed them
back into their works under the most desperate
and terrific fighting OF the war While this was
being done, and done slowly by order, Sheridan
set about forming the infantry tactics that he
does in cavalry, 1t was marvel to see so pal
try force Of cavalry press back and hold in
check 10000 rebel infantry. Still they did it
and IN such manner as to completely hide the
movements OF our infantry. They were driven
back step by step into their works, then the sig
nal was given, and the infantry closed on the
works like a huge barn door The rebels saw
their situation, but did not appear 10 appreciate
how desperate were their circumstances. They
fell back to the left only to see four close lines
of battle waiting to drive them across the field
at the right. HOrsemeR charged them. in
their vain attempt to fight out and, in their rear
foot and cavalry began to assemble and slant
fire, cross FIRE and direct fire by file and battery
rolled perpetually cutting down their bravcst
officers and strewing the field with bleeding
men, while their own artillery was turned upon
them. At last bodies of cavalry mounted their
parspets and charged down upon them, slashing
and trampiDg them into confusion They had
no commander to lead them out of the toll into
which they had fallen.
We captured four cannons, ambulance trains.

General Sheridan tells me the conflict cost him
personally no more than 500 men and the service

For monthsI could not work at anything,

time. While in this condition l was in Mr.
Rowbothams store, in this city, and he seeing
how low 1 was, recommended me to try your
Pine Tree Tar Cordial. He said he had sold
great deal off and that, as it had cured so many
others, he believed it would do some good. /

ASTHMA AND COUGH CURED.

The Pine Tree Tar Cordial gives instanta.
neous relief in cases of Asthma and WhoOping
Cough. 1t often cures whoOping before it runs
half It's cOurse,.as it acts at once on the phlegm
and mucus and expels them from the throat,
and the sufferer is relieved. In case of Asthma
use DIR. Wishar5's Dyspepsia Pills with the Cor
dial as they have never been known to fail to
cure that disease.
