The tIantic Telegraph.

The probability is that the Great Eastern
is at the present time on her way. or soon
will be, with the Atlantic cable on board
that is to connect England and A Mcrica. =
The ship has in her, as nearly as possible,
seven thousand tons of cable-or, including
the iron tanks which contain it and the
water in which it is sunk, about niue thou :
sand tons in all. In addition to this, she
has eight thousands five hundred tons of
coal on board, and other weight. including
engines, amounting 10 all to twenty one
thousand tons, bringing her down 10 82s
feet drailght.
She was to leave London on the 9th, as
we learn by the London Times, and is ex-
pectcd to arrive at Valentia about the 9tL
or 10th instant There she will be met by
the two ships-of' war appointed to convoy
her, the Terrible aud the Sphinx. Both
these vessels are fitted with the best appa-
ratus for deep sea soundings, with buoys
and means for buoying the end OF the cable,
if even it should become necessary and
with Boleu's night light naval signals.
with which the Great Eastern is likewise
supplied.
The cable will BE- first taken out from the
forward tank, next from that amidships
and lastly from that as'ern and if all goes
we'll should arrive with nearly five hundred
miles of cable in her still unused, an excess
which is most wisely allowed in case of &C
(. cident. The London Times adds that since
the paying out apparatus has been in work
its action has been faultless.
Everything which human foresight can
suggest, either in cable or ships every
thing which long experience or scientific
progress can devise-has been provided,
and the success or failure Of this vast expc-
dition is now only a question of weather.
II all goes we'll, both as to course and rate
of steaming, telegraphic COMMUNICATION with
the United States may be looked for, at the
latest, about the Goth or 21st Of next month.

vantages of race, no more than natural ad-
vantages of soil, cannot be preserved with
out the requisite culture, and to cherish
and developc these, lies in the power of
no Convention OF Constitution, but must
depend upon the people themselves. In
this respect, then. the future of the State,
and tile condition Of our children, lie in
our own hands.
What, then, is t..::is necessary basis of
all superiority of civilization? What it
has been in every age-Education. Broken
up and thrown back as everything has
been by four years war, and with new
order of things introduced, it is most in
cumbcnt upon us to lay hold of this SUBJ
icct at once, and. to take care that the
rising generation enter not upon the du-
ties of life, unculturcd, untaught, and
behind the world in even the clements of
knowledge. 1t would be singular spec
tacle at a future day, to see two grand
children, one of former master, the 9TH
er of q former slave, when the latter was
the better educated of the two, not from
natural capacity, but because the ances-
tors cf the former took no care to secure
for him that upon which every freeman's
superiority and dignity must in great
degree depend Education cannot be
forced upon free people, and must be
voluntarily sustained by them. If, then,
the people will now determine to, have
education for their childrcn-education
beftting frcemen-and such as they can
have, if they arc determined to support
competent ins6tutions--then the future
of the State may be worthy her olden po-
sition and renown.

NOT So

The LEADER says: "Of the seventeen
districts which elected Union representa-
tIves last fall, sixteen gave maiorities for
he Union ticket in October" Let the
LEADER examine the figures closer, and it
viii find that there is a greater falling off
than it admits in the above paragraph
Plain Dealer.
When a newspaper fatty denies the
statements made by another, custom and
courtesy alike demand that the denial
should be backed by proof. The Plain
Dealer gives no such proof, and the
above paragraph is as u~ncourteous as it is
ungrammatical and ~unfounded. We reit-
crate the facts which it denies. The Union
State ticket, at the October election, had
majorities in the LIST, I'd, Sd, 4th, 9Th, 9TH, sth,
9Th, 10th, 18th, l4th, 18th, 10th, 18th, 18th
and 10Th dissatisfaction in all. The
Democrats had majorities in only three
the 9TH, 18th and 18th. The smallest ma
for the Union ticket given in any of
the sixteen mentioned was in the ninth,
General Buckland's) where it had 100
majority, taking the vote for Attorney
General as a fair average for the ticket.

NORTHERN OHIO NEWS
CARROLL COUNTY,.

On last Friday night, the office of the
county Treasurer, in this place, was en-
tered by some person or persons, with no
good intent. They entered through the
windows at the back part of the office,
which was forced up by means of inserting
a lever under the bottom of the window
sash, and forcing it up. The window was
found hoisted next morning, which, with
the exception of the marks thereon, and
those on the door which had been roughly
tried to be forced, being the only marks
of their presence. From appearance no
attempt had been made on the safe which
contained the county funds. Also, on the
same night the store of Mr.. James Hutton
was attempted to be entered, but the par
ties becoming frightened, left without sue
ceeding.
Mr.. George Perry, of Harrison town
ship, this county, met with Il serious acct
dent on last Friday. He and Mr.. Scott
merchant at Harrisburgh, started in a two
horse rig to the railroad, and it being wet,
Just as they started, hoisted an umbrella
which frightened the horses and caused
them to run away, throwing Mr.. Perry
from the wagon and breaking his leg, u
short distance above the knee.

N at the Treasury Printing
ILLEGAL

Washington Correspondence Gin. Commercial.
The Printing Bureau of the Treasury
department recently made n blunder of
such a stupid character that it is a wonder
1t was not discovered by some one of the
many attaches in time TO save the rcputa-
ton of the establishment. The careless
off-hand name in which they do things
IN the Printing Bureau would ruin ahy
job printing office in the United States in
six months. Think, for instance, of them
striking of, 1 don't know how many thou
sand dollars, but as much as they wanted
at any rate, of ten-cent fractional notes.
and then discovering, when the work was
completed, that in the engraving of the
plate the word Gents had been omitted.
and that the bill might mean ten mills, ten
cents, ten dollars, or ten d-ns, just as
might be agreed upon between the holders
and the redeemcr of it. 1t had los all
over it, but the word Gents did not once
occur The faur pas was not discovered
until the greater part of the notes had been
paid out of the department. An attempt
is now being made to call in the
issue, but the work proceeds very slowly.
The dead of the Printing Bureau is Mr..
Clark, about whom a Congressional inves-
tigating Committee told so many naughty
stories a year and a half ago. But there
seems to have been some hidden virtue in
him that made him ~invulnerable.
