The Herald has a long s3ecial dispatch
from Hearts Content relative to the Atlantic
cable, but the only new point in it additional
TO Mr.. Fields is the following;
Practical conclusions have been arrived at
by those engaged in various capacities in the
expedition, that the steamship Great Eastern,
from her size and sea-goiug qualities can car
~ and lay an Atlantic Telegraph Cable safely
IN any weather, that nothing has occurred to
create the least doubt in the minds of the
practical men engaged in the expedition Of
the safe-laying Of the cable, but on the con-
trary, their confidence in the undertaking has
largely increased by the experience thus far
obtained. that with the Great Eastern, and
stronger tackle, and with improved picking
up machinery, there is possibility OF recov-
ering the end Of the cable and completing the
line already two-thirds laid.

The Attorney General, in response to an
inquiry of President johnson whether the
persons charged with the ofense of having
assassinated the late President should be tri-
ed before a military tribunal or civil court,
gave a written opinion sustaining the former
mode of trial. This opinion has been printed
1t msintaineo that military tribunal exists
under and according to the Constitution in
time of war that the law of nations consti-
tutes u part of the law OF the land and that
the laws of war constitute the greater part OF
the law Of nations. The laws OF war author
re human life to be taken without legal pro-
cess, or that legal process contemplated by
those provisions in the Constitution relied
upon to show that military Judicial tribunals
are unconstitutional. The law of nations,
which is the resu.. of the experience and wis
dom Of ages, has decided that jayhawkers,
banditti, &C., are offenders against the law
the law OF nations and Of war, and as such
4menable to the military.
Our Constitution las made those laws a
part of the law of the land. Obedience to
the Constitution and to law, then, requires
that the military should do their whole duty.
They must uot only meet and fight the enc
mics of the country in open battle, but they
must kill or take the secret enemies OF the
country, and try and execute them according
to the law. The civil tribunals OF the coun-
trg cannot rightfully interfere with the mill
tary in the performances of their high, ardu-
Gus and perilous, but lawful duties. The
Attorney General chsracterizes Booth and
his associates as secret, active, public enc
mics and he concludes with the opinion
that "the peasons who are charged with the
assassination of the President committed the
deed as public enemies, as | believe they did;
and whether they did or no, is question to
be decided by the tribunal before which they
are tried.
They not only can but ought to be tried
before military tribunal. II persons charged
have offended against the laws Of war, it
would be palpably wrong for the military to
hand them over to the civil courts as il
would be wrong in q civil court to convict a
man Of murder who had in time Of war killed
mother in battle.

On THE SLY.-An anonymous call is out
for convention in Lamoille County to nomi-
nate ticket, which convention is to be COM
posed OF I" all who believe in the principle OF
equal taxation and are in favor Of taxing bank
stock, United States stocks and bonds equal
ly with all other property" Readers of cop
perhead newspapers will readily guess that
this is only trick to get somebody into the
meshes of the copperhead net. There is no
principle more universally recognized than
that taxation should be equal and just upon
persons aud property. Nobody in fact dis
putes it, and nobody thinks of permitting any
body, bank, or other corporation, to escape
from taxation II just tax can be enforced
In reference to the special points here named,
the taxation OF United States stocks and
bonds, the only question is one of power,
not Of expediency and we once more remind
Dur readers that the first thing TO ascertain is
whether the State Gun tax them. If it can,
legally and faliry, we think everybody will go
% for just tax, proportionate to other like
property. There is nothing more important
State affairs now than its systems of taxa
ion and finance. How honorably to discharge
very obligation, and how to divide the bur-
len fairly among its citizens. are broad ques-
ions, touching all persons and property, and
II the interests of the State. We must not
epel population and capital by unjust or too
Durdensome taxes, nor disgrace ourselves by
equalization. Cannot honest men Of all par
ties agree to act upon broad and honest prin-
aipes In these mattersl II not, we shall
surely want new party; Prudent. Honorable
and Honest and we will go about il honestly
and without disguiss.

. began to haul in, and at | | so A. NJ, when
HOO fathoms Of grspnel rope had been got
on board, a shake broke near the ship and
400 fathoms OF rope sunk with the cable to
the bottom OF the Atlantic. A buoy was
lowered with 2400 fathoms Of cable, and a
mushroom to hold il and mark the spot. Du-
ring the operation Of picking up the machine
ry gave way. 1t is supposed that tooth
broke off by the strain, and this getting in
between the spur wheel smashed the latter.
This accident happened twice, and the opera
ton Of hauling in had to be performed by the
capstan.
Friday, Saturday and Sunday weather un-
favorable for recovering cable.
Monday, 7th, lowered another grapnel.--
At IL 10 P. M. commenced dragging for ca
Bile. At in the evening began to haul in
Tuesday, sth, at $50 A. M, 1000 fathoms
of grspnel rope hauled in when shackels broke
just inside the ship. Lost in this attempt
1900 fathoms OF rope.
A second buoy was lowered to mark the
spot. The balance Of this day and all the
next was fully occupied in having new shack
les made for the hauling in Of the rope, alter
ing the capstan and making preparations for
another attempe to recover the cable. Had
the apparatus been ready the weather on
Wednesday was too rough to attempt any
operation. The two buoys rode out the gales
10 this depth perfectly.
Thursday, l0th, at A. NJ. began TO low
er the grapnel, and at S.55 had out 2460 faith
oms, all that was left on board the vessels
and commenced dragging for the cable, and
continued to do so until the evening, when
we began to haul in slowly. Friday. llth,
at A. NJ. Flashing hauling in the 2460 faith
oms Of rope, when the grapnel came up foul
with it's own chain. At ii A. Nj. began to
lower grapnel again, and as soon as all the
2460 fathoms we're payed out commenced
dragging until $3.50 P. NJ, when we began to
haul in slowly. 1t was soon evident by the
great strain that the grspnel had caught the
cable. At P. M, when 10 fathoms
had been recovered, the rope parted.
As there was not sufficient rope on board the
Great Eastern to resume grspnelling, it was
decided that the Great Eastern should return
at once to England.

CHECK REINs FOR DRAFT HoRsEs.-The
head and neck Of horse assist in balancing
bis body when not restrained by taunt
check rein just as the arms OF man enable
him to walk with more ease when they are
unconfned. When a check rein is so short
as to hold the head Of horse higher than he
is accustomed to carry it, it is impossible for
him to travel or draw easily. man can
walk or run much more advantsgeously with
his arms free and his head and shoulders
thrown little forward, because they are i'm
portant balances for his body. II draft hors-
es have check reins they should always be
unhitohed when they are hauling a heavy
draft, especially up hill. II one watches the
movements Of horses head when he slips on
ice, or pavement, be will soon be satisfied
that draft horses should not be checked up
much. Carriage horses may be made to hold
their heads high but those which have hard
pulling should be allowed to DO it in the ea-
siest manner, with their heads held naturally.
