THAT MOB.-The DeldWdredn "fies into
passion over our article about the mob, and
says we tried g to make a case out of it against
the Democratic party and Gov. Salisbury"
We did not mention party politics in the mat
ter, and if c0ndemning copperhead mob re-
fleets on the Democratic party and its organ is
plnched by the "snOe," let it vince. We do
not wish to miSrepresent the Governor. What
We said was what was universally attributed to
him; what the nl0bies gaze as a reason for de-
SiSttng For the sake of good order, religion
and his official position, we hope the Governor
didn t make the remarks referred to- But where
there is so much smoke there must be some
fire. The Deld,cdredn says that Federal
bayonets deferred no one from attempting a
riot and adds: ." 1t is we'll known in Dover, if
not in Smyrna, that it was partly in conse-
quence of threats made by the soldiers that the
negroes had no regular tents on the ground or
their usual privileges accorded to them" If
this Is specimen Of our neighbor's veracity it
is very defective. The negroes had their usu-
al privileges; attended in large numbers, wor-
shipped as usual, were preached to as usual, and
listened to and their preacher protected from
becoming Stephen" by the soldiers The
Detd,cdredn, we believe, knowingly made a
false statement. Its braggart assertion that
bayonets did not keep order is also untrue
AT night the house where the bishop STAYED.
IN Camden, was stored, and the preacher threat
ened with violence A guard of soldiers drove
the mob Oft and defended the house all night
Mobs are never governed by good advice. but
are always subdued by sufficient amount of
brute force. The assertion of our neighbor is
an insult to the soldiers and an effort to throw
blame on these peaceable, peace preserving
men, We are accused of over-estimatinp tho
number of the mob. We have it from one Of
the managers (as good authority, and perhaps
better, than our neighbor) that when the mob
formed at the bread stall it numbered over a
hundred persons, and dropped off to about fiftv
when they were about to make the attempt at
capturing the "nigger" The Delanoyeoo
is evidently in bad humor, and calls the

have been sad for the poor negroes had Fed
eral bayonets' been invoked" Why? II
knows they were invoked; what, but good re.
suits, followed.
We learn from good authority that the pray
er meeting in the mission tent was inter
rupted so much on the last night of the camn
that a guard was placed around it. which
frightened the mob off. The men engaged in
this disturbance, We are told, were, many of
them, persons of influence, and hailed from
Dover in some instances 1t is we'll known
that many persons bitterly opposed the camp
and Methodist preachers, and looked upon the
whole affair as an abolition concern. :" An
men who thus try to disturb religious meetings
may be classed with the draft rioters. assassins
Northern city burners, and other copperhead
agents of the late rebellion. If this reflects
on the Democrats let them "come out from
among them"

The Atlantic Cable.

AS this is the great topic of public interest
and discussion, we will give an account of its
workings, Tor its failing to work, since the
first discOuraging reports were received.
The telegram respecting the first dscoura-
ging reports was dated 30th ult., when seven
hundred miles of cable in all had been paid,
when insulation was lost; cause unknown" "
Five days later European news comes to us
brought by another steamer, with intelligence
from the Great Eastern down to noon of Aug.
I'd. The interval of four days, from the 29th
Of July to the ID inst, appears to have been
occupied-cOntrary to general anticipation
in paying out the cable at the rate of i25 mile
day. On the latter day the signals again
become unintelligible, and finally cease alto
gether.
Again news was brought by the steamer
China, which gives Intelligence up to the 9th
inst. This intelligence is of the same discour-
aging character as those previously received.
Between the second and the sixth inst, there
had been no renewal of the signals. In the
mean time various speculations are INDUCED
in by the newspaper press of this country and
Engl land on the untoward condition of things
some hopefully, others despondingly.
The latest and most discouraging intelligence
is up to the l5th-yesterday. 1t is brought
by the schooner First Fruit, which arrived at
Harbor Grace, Newfoundland, that morning.
She makes the following report: On the 9th
Of August, at clock in the morning, saw
the steamship Gredt Eastern and the Brit
ish war steamer Terrible The two steamers
we've then about five miles from Beacon buoy.
At noon the Terrible came near the FIRST Fiuit
to receive information from her of the bearings
of Beacon buoy, and reported that "the caJlt
'caS parted on the 2d Of -4ugust
If this report be correct it will probably put
an end to further effort, and the attempt tc
unite the new and old world by the electric
current terminate, as in SO, in failure.

THE SUICIDE OF Mr.. EARLE.
lFrOm the Newark AdxerIiser. Aug. III


A large portion of our community were star
tied last evening, at the astounding news ofthe
implication of Mr.. James II. Earle, of this ci
ty, in the defalcation of the Phoenix Bank, New
I ork, and his suicide while in prison. The
high character which he had always borne, and
his department here, had commanded for him
the respect of a large circle of friends, who
deeply lament his shocking fate. Mr.. Earle
was native of Elizabeth about thirty-one
years of age, and lived with his mOther-in-law
at so Halsey street. He was about five feet
five inches high, with flowing beard and gen
tlemanly manners. He was a member of the
Second Presbyterian Church, and very regular
in his attendance at the sanctuary. His style
of living here was not unusually extravagant
beyond the owning Of fast" horse) and his
taxable income last year was only one thousand
five hundred and thirty-nine dollars. Mr..
Earle leaves one child, boy about six years
OF age, who is at present with relatives in Mon
mouth county. His wife died about wear
since, having been found dead in her bed
Mr. Earle was morbidly sensitive as to the
opinion of the world and being connected
with some OF the most respectable families in
the State, it is believed he preferred death to
disgrace. His remains will be brought to this
city on Monday, and taken to Elizabeth for
burial.
