"PAYING oUTn-THE CABLE.

At this moment of writing we are in instant
expectation of hearing that the great sea
serpent, or electric eel, called the Atlantic
Gable, has wriggled into Asp-y Bay. At our
latest accounts the Great Eastern was 'pny-
ing OUT the cable literally, and it is ex-
pected that the expenditure would be sue
cessfully completed by to-day; for the more
the ship pays out the faster she pays out, her
speed increasing as her load lightens.
The stockholders of the cable company
have been "paying out =" good deal, and If
they succeed in their enterprise the pub
fishers of newspapers will soon have to pay
OUT about two thousand dollars per week
for European news.

Virginia Affairs.

We cut the following from the Richmond
correspondence of the Baltimore american:
Another death has occurred in the family
Of Hon. h. NJ. 7. Hunter. On July the 2Sth
at the family place in Essex county, Musco
Hunter, aged fifteen, went to bathe in mill
pond with his brother and two of Commodore
Barron's sons. In attempting to swim to an
island in the pond the boy became exhausted
and cried for help. Young Barron swan to
his rescue, but the drowning boy grasped
him 20 closely that lie could do nothing to
help him. As they sank together young Hun
ter's grasp relaxed and he went to the bot
tom. The body was recovered two hours af-
terwards. Mrs. Hunter was absent at a
neighbor's when the accident occurred and
was overwhelmed with grief on her return to
find the lifeless body of her boy at the house
which he had so lately left in joyous health.
The remains were inferred in the family
burying ground, where Sarah Hunter, q love
iy daughter about sixteen, was buried few
weeks before. The head Of this unhappy fam
lily is now political prisoner at Fort Pulaski.
Several notices have appeared to the effect
that the Legislature has changed the cont-of-
arms of Virginia by the removal of the
words, " Sic Semper 1yranms, which are
said to be rendered obnoxious by Booths
repetition of them. This is n mistake, and

the National Exchange Bank and National
Bank of Virginia, when they had their first
new notes presented, left off the objections

but rs n matter of necessity. At the time
the popular feeling ran very much against

that feeling has worn away, and no one de-
sires to see the motto which has aoated above

The Foremo.t soldler..

It will be remembered that previous to tho
capture of Richmond propositions were made
that considerable amount Of money should
be raised and deposited with General Grant
for presentation to the national soldier who
should first replace tho glorious old ensign Of
the Republic over that city, in the then con-
templnted assault on it. The matter, how
ever, was not prosecuted to the extent de-
signed, and only four hundred and sixty dol
lars were raised. Besides, Richmond was
not taken by assault, but by the forced
evacuation OF the rebels. In consideration Of
this latter fact General Grant decided to
divide the money among the three soldiers
most conspicuous for gallantry in the final
assault on Petersburg which was in effect an
assault on Richmond, and, on tho recon-
mendation of their corps commanders, he has
awarded It to the following brave men, and
addressed each Of them IN autograph let tor
to that effect: Sergeant David W. Young, of
the l39th Pennsylvania infantry, 9th corps;
Sergeant Thomas MoGrau, 23d Indiena in
fantry, oath corps, and Corporal Jacob r.
Tucker, 4th Maryland infantry, 9Th corps.

Nor AN ESCAPED PRIsoNER.-This morn
ing colored man named Anderson Williams
was arrested near the City Hall, supposed to, be
prisoner eseaIed from the courtroom. On be-
ing taken into court 1t was found that no prisoner
had escaped this morning. The man was taken
to the station house, where hackman named
Michael Conner appeared and said that he found
williams in his hack near the depot, and he
would not get out, whereupon a fight between
them took place stones were thrown, and for a
time some excitement prevailed.
Joseph wilkins testified that he met the ac-
cused near the depot looking for policeman, and
witress sent him to the Fourth ward station l.
house.
Williams, the accused, stated that he got into
he carriage to eat his dinner, aud Conner came
IN and struck him, and he (williams) struck h,m
b-ck.
It baving been proved to the satisfaction oil
Justice Walter that both parties were Sighting on
the street, he sentenced each to pay fne OF w..
Conner, the hackman swore he would not p y
his ane, aud he would go to jail first. Upon G
officers getting ready to lock the parties up, Con:
ner suddenly changed his mind, and concluded
to pay the Ave dollars. Williams paid his fine,
and the parties left the station house.

JoHN II. SURRArT.-It will be scon, from
our news columns, that John II. Surratt, the
conspirstor, is positively reported as being
in Canada. The Montreal Witness Of Fri
day, in aluding to the supposition that the
IN: n recently brought to Washington from
the West in irons was Surratt, says: There
is no occasion for our entertaining any belief
of this kind, inasmuch as he, Surratt, is in
the Queens dominions."
A gentleman who arrived here from Mon
treal last week informs us that II is the gem
eral belief in that city that Surratt has been
there for several weeks concealed by friends,
There is considerable feeling among the
Catholic portion Of the community in regard
to the execution of Mrs. Surratt and the
boast has been openly made TINT the Fed
erals could never bo able to retake the son
from Canadian soil. There is no doubt,
hosever, that the Canadian authorities
would promptly surrender hiu. If he was
found and arrested, entertaining, as they do,
an adherence second only to our own for the
eOnspirators.
We trust that the Government will make
every effort In Its powar to ascertain the
whereabouts Of SurrptG and secure his por.

ceptions, and their false haste to denounce

that single head will fall, or any vengeance
be visited upon those excluded from pardon
For himself he is not surprised that the
United States choose to remain on their
guard, and to exact guaranty from the
leading spirits Of the rebellion. Southern
sympathizers on that side of the Atlantic
have all along asserted that the cmbnrrass'
mel /, of the North would culminate in the
hour of victory. 1t is worth while to take
them at their word.
To protest against the imprisonment and
trial of DAVIS is to ask the victor to declare
his own triumph iniquitous. To accuse, try,
and convict him of high treason, is to be
faithful to the frst and most evident interest
of the Republic; to announce that the true
seat of Government has always been ut
Washington; to affirm that what the people
constituted through the Federal compact was
the Union.

that the legitimacy Of an insurroction de
