this awful story as We heard it A farmer
sold his farna TO three men, who gave him
$4,000 cash in part payment. In the

to remain, but the farmers wife declined,
because it was doubtful if her husband re-
turned that night, and she knew there was
a large amount of money in the house
She remarked to the peddler that if her
husband returned, he would probably meet
him. The peddler drove on, met the far
mer, and returned with him. As they Rp-
preached the house, the farmer observed q
light in a room in which he usually kept
his papers, and remarked TO the peddler
that there were burglars In the house. The
psddler produced a pair of revolverA and
The two stationed themselves at points
where the burglars would probably attempt
to escape; they gave the alarm, and three

them, when the third ran toward the lar
mea, who killed him. Upon entering the
house, the farmer was Mortified to find his
wife and child murdered. When the bodies
of the murderers were examined, it was
discovered thst they were the parties who
had purchased the farm that day /; one of
them being brother in-law to the farmer.

The good people Of home, while indul-

have, no doubt, frequently asked the quei-

Yet, now We see clustering around the
embodiment of great achievements, results
that transcend any that have taken place
since the foundation of u Government
But to relate how the day passed with ns,
We have to state that we were invited to
dine at the board of q worthy friend,
Major J.. F. Herrick, which was bOunh.
fally spsead with the good things of tho
season, and which spoke in higher terms
than words can express, to the credit Of the
COED taste and generosity Of cur host.
Having powerfully" reinforced the inner

well fitted for our comfort and where we
engaged some time st favoritSgames, being
inspired occasionally by q little "essence
Of the wine,1' and the entire company en-
Iivened by many pitby and appropriate
toasts. At sunset we were summoned to
headquarters by the band, where q large
of the regiment) had cOngregsted to listen
to the speaking. 1
lieutenant Colonel r. H. Bently was
called for, and excused himself by saying,

dressed the Assemblsge like 8 true soldier,
with a heart filed with q glowing fire Of

The Transatlantic cable.

The Great Eastern, according to pro-
,granmet steamed, out of the river Med
way on the afternoon of the oath June,
and proceeded TO the anchorage selected for
her 81 the More, where she could remain
until about the 9th of July to take in coal
and stores, adjust her eompasses and COM
plete the arrangements for the paying out
Of thu cable.
THE PROSPECTS, OF THE UNDERTAKING.
- From the London Post, June IS
The process of laying the Atlantic Tele-
graph cable is about TO commence. There
are several considerations touching the diff
AculEes which have 70 be ~surmounted, and
which il may be desirable to set In their
proper light. One of the principal dan
1ers by which the cable is said 70 be
threatened Is described IS consisting In Rb-
runt and extensive variations In the sur
face of the oceans bed. 1t Is known that
At some distance from the coast of Ireland
there is 4 great increase in the depthof the
Atlantic. and it was formerly believed that
the steepness of the inclined plane stretch
inc batveeu the shallow water and the
deem sea beyond was much greater than it
really appears to be. The slope is now be-
lieyed, from soundings which have been
made. to be very gradual, and TO extend
over s distance of nearly q hundred miles,
with 4 descent of less than 8 hundred and
Afty feet in q mile.
But the condition of things on that part
of the earth's surface which Is covered
with water is, we have every reason TO be-
Teye, as different in its confguration from
the portion which is covered with All, as
the latter is from the surface OF the moon,
where there is apparently no atmosphere
at all, OF, at ~Allievents, not such an stmos-
phete IS ours Unless q submarine descent
were so abrupt that the cable would have
20 hang from its summit in q perpendicu-
lar manner, or be stretched across from
over house teiiegSrasSphnsS, Z Would, Il eau aRS
} tiously paid out from the ship, easily &C
!. commodAte itself to slopes Of considers
| BILE steepness. The bed of the ocean il
generally soft and when once the cable
3 had accommodated itself to the confgurs
, ton of the surface, It would remain per.
fectly quieseent. There appear to be NJ
currents at great depths and the grsvita
) tion of the water would tend 10 maintain
it in its position. The chief peril which
Q the enterprise is TO encounter is perhaps
after all, that of storms, which may de
prive the crew of the Great Eastern of al
Q command over their vessel. Il is vel
calculated to impress sven the prOudes
= and most powerful with q consciousness Q
g our impotence when we reflect that tn
success of 60 great and so useful q projeC
d q project on which 30 much care hs
Q been bestowed and so much capital expend
d ed, and the moral and political eOnst
quences of which are so important an
beneHcial-depends chiefly upon the hap
k py accident of uninterrupted fine weathe
during the few weeks that it is being exc
euted. But all that could be done hs
been done, and the best season has bee
chosen for the voyage.

IFrom the London Morning Herald, June p.
Meanwhile, the work of reconstruction,
hollow and temporary as it must be at the
best proceeds but lsnguidiy. Apr0vision-
al military governor has been appointed in
the State Of Mississippi. The same ar
rangement is proposed for Georgia, Ala
bsma and South Carolina. Texas and
Western Louisiana are 10 be held by an
army. It does not seem that sny attempt
is being made as yet TO carry out the edicts
Of prescription and coniscstion, which
would exile or ruin every landowner in the
South. The trial of President Davis is
postponed until September. By that time
It is to be hoped that their passions will
have so far subsidized that the politicians of
the North will regard the fallen ststesnsn
with some modicum of that respect which
is so universally felt for him in Europe.
That they chained him in mRnscles IS q
felon, as Is Enthusiastically stated in 8
Washington newspaper, will be an ever
lasting disgrace TO the Insignificant person
who is believed 70 be have authorized the
outrage. Except in this c~onjuuCture 40
one, we suppose, viii eYer speak IN the
same breath of Mr.. Secretary Stanton and
of Jefferson Davis. the heroic President of
the c~onfederacy. Successful or fallen, tried
or untried, condemned or uncondemned,
Jefferson Davis is to us the greatest man
In America. The colossal figure of the
statesman who commanded and carried
out this grand war of Independence, with
its battles won, its deeds Of super-humsn
daring, its manful demonstrations; which,
forever, in spite of anthAt bruteforee can
attempt, will separate the, Southern from
the Northern States of America-wH
tower n history, will be celebrated in song,
viii be cherished by remotest posterity,
when the very names Of the men who OPP
posed him are lost and forgotten. l

February oath, 1864.
DEAR SlR:-I take much pleasure in
informing you that my daughter is much
better of her deafness under your treat
ment. She had the scarlet fever when i've
years of age, which left her hearing seri
ously impaired, which seemed also to be
settling down into permanent, and, as we
much feared, perfect and incurable deaf
ness.
We were not a little fearful and unbe-
lieving in any efforts to cure the case, hav-
ing previously applied to other physicians
without success. But under your treat
mont we soon found evidence of decided
improvement. The offensive discharge
soon changed and indicated 8 healthy
healing process. We are yat making use
ofyour prescription, and We hope you viii
not fail 70 visit these parts again soon, 90
several of my friends are anxious TO see
the good Samaritan, that they may obtain
a little of the oil of consolation for them
selves. Respectfully yours,
