The laying down Of the rev Atlantic ca
bic will probably be attempted in July. On
April oath, fourteen hundred m,es had been
stored on board the Great Eastern. and the
work was proceeding at the rate Of twenty.
five miles a dy. Electricians are kept
constantly employed in passing currents
through the cable, and every foot il subject.
ed to the seyerest tests. The weight of the
cable is 400 pounds to the nautical mile,
while that Of 1853 weighed only 26l pounds
The experiments made are said to have es
tablished the fact that if the enterprise is a
success, at least twelve words a minute can
be transmitted across the broad Atlantic
It is considered that the problem is reduced
simply toa question whether July will be a
month Of moderately temperate weather.
Probably one or more vessels from our ma
w will be detailed to take part in the great
work. .... .. ... ..
COMING INTO THE OLD CHANNEL The
Philadelphia papers notice the arrival in tina !:
city Of large invoice of Geors ia cotton yarn,
the first that has reached there since the
war began. It was from the Eagle Mills,
and was packed in large boxes, owing to the
fact that there is not in Macon asingle yard
Of baling cloth nor a ream of packing paper
with which to put the yarn up in its former
sized packages. The consignees are now
parceling 1t out according to custom, and
wrapping and labelling it as the trade. are
accustomed to see It. How beggard and
impoverished Georgia has made herself by
this war is plainly illustrated by this first
shipment Of what was once its leading and
staple production, cotton yarn. ....,
Relics The rage for relics in this coun.
try IS something astounding. A respecta-
bly, dressed man was noticed the other day
putting in his pocket brick from the, wall
in front Of Mr.. L:ncon's house; and this is
but one Of ten thousand follies. The entire
stairway upon which Colonel Ellsworth was
killed, in Alexandria, has been cut into
chips and carried away. The tree, at the
foot of which Sickles shot Key, in Wash.
,ngton, has been barked and cut until it is
dead. The oak tree under which Gen. Grant
talked with Pemberton, and arranged the
terms of the surrender of Vicksburg has
been anpihilated,. and recently party dug
into the ground ten feet for the roots of the
historic oak. An elm tree which Abraham
] Lincoln planted stands in front of his old
