The Atlantic Cable,

We have now the official announcement
that the attempt to lay the Atlantice Cable
will be renewed next year. Both the Gable
Company and the Gable Construction Com
pany feel sanguine as to the ultimate sue
cess of the enterprise. The Cable Construc-
ton Company have offered to commence at
once the manufacture of a new cable, and
the Directors of the Gable Company have
unanimously accepted this proposal The
old cable is at the same time to be com
pleted, so as to have next Summer two per-
feet cables. The manufacture OF the new
cable has already begun.
Capt. Anderson of the Great Eastern has
received an offer from the Gable Constrac-
ton Company to command the Great
! Eastern for five years in laying Gables, and
he has accepted the offer. Capt. Anderson
as stated in his letter, which was published
few weeks ago in the Tribune, feels very
hopeful as to the complete success of the
next attempt. He regards the cable as per
feet, with the only exception of penetration
of the gutta percha core by pieces of wire
and this fault will be carefully guarded
against in the manufacture ofthe new cable
He, moreover, expects to sail next year witt
a more efficient graphing gear, which il
case of any defect being discovered will no
expose the cable, while being hauled in, t
the same accident which this year proved
fatal.
The unshaken hope and courage which tn
Telegraph Company have evinced in tn
great trial through which they have passed
; will challenge universal admiration an
raise the warmest sympathy everywhere fc
the success Of their new attempt.

The Communication Tax.

The speech of Col. T. w. Higgins, Of the
73d Ohio Volunteer Infantry, delivered at
j kson Ohio, September 18th, at re.un-
ion solliers' meeting, contains passage so
pthy that it forces its way into our col
umns. The Colonel says on the oommuta-
ton tax:
"Thc Democratic party of the State of
Ohio opposes the four dollar militia commu
tation tax and declares that it is oppressive
and ought to be repealed. Now, if the
Democracy Of the State of Ohio had been
IN the army, they would be exempt from
this tax; but as they all staid at home, and
as they are almost the only ones who have
the tax to pay, in consequence OF staying at
home, they think it oppressive. Poor souls |!
They are to be pitied for their many and
sore Affections. They can avoid paying this
oppressive tax, however, by joining the
Ohio National Guard, and drilling few
days in the year; and why dont't they do
it7 They might practice arget.shooting as
recreation, if nothing else for they must
have deal of ammunition on hand, as they
have expended very little during the last
four years. They have burned scarcely any
powder in battle, and, save what was used
in shooting returned soldiers and Provost
Marshals, and what was expended in re.
joicing over Vallandigham's return to Ohio,
they must have their entire stock of ord.
nance yet on hand. Let them, by all means,
Join some military organization, and save
the oppressive tax of four dollars, of which
they complain so much"

Newborn Love for the Soldiers

Recently the members of the seth Illinois
Regiment held their anniversary at Peoria,
Colonel II. G. Ingersoll, the commandant
made speech, and paid his srespects to the
men now protesting to be the best friends Of
the soldiers. lie said: ,. .g.
This is not political meeting, and yet |
can not forbear saying a word or two con-
cerning the soldiers friends. There are men
here in our midst pretending to be your
dearest and best friends. They belong to
a party, some of whom, | will not say all,
were not your friends when you were fight
ing the battles of your country. They
laughed at your wounds-they sneered at
your scars-they mecked the corpse of your
comrades-they prophesied your defeat
they hoped for your disgrace they prayed
for your overthrow and death--they despised
the cause for which you were battling--they
were the allies of your murderers.
Now you have reached home covered with
glory; you are welcomed by the true people
of the North; you are radiant with success
and the very men of whom have been
speaking crowd around you and say they
were your friends Beware of them al, |!
They do not want to help you; they want
You 10 help them When they come, tell
them that you can have no confidence in
their sincerity till they bring:back the thirty
pieces of silver, the price Of your blood; tel
them to go aud follow to the bitter end the
example of their illustrious leader. .a

Well Done.

Governor Stone, the Union candidate for
reelection in Iowa, in a recent speech,
made capital points against Democrats,
which are as good for Ohio as for Iowa.
We, therefore,, quote few of them:
These men who so fiercely and persist
emily denounced the war against the rebel
lion as unconstitutional, unjust and wicked |;
they who stigmatized President Lincoln as
tyrant and a usurper OF unwarrantable
power in attempting by military operations,
to enforce obedience to Federal authority
in the seeded States; they who, from the
time he took the oath of Office on the 4th
of March, 1861, down to the fatal hour
when the assasu's bullet was sent crashing
through his brain, constantly assailed him
with every opithet their vile tongues could
lay hold of; they who organized themselves
into q secret and reasonable association tc
resist the draft and prevent the wasted
ranks of our armies being recruited: they
who denounced your sons and brothers,
while galIantly bearing our banners agains
the enemy, as "Lincoln hireliugs and cut
throats," as Sherman's thieves and mar,
auders;" they who attempted to disiranchls'
our soldies by opposing and denouncing th,
law allowing them to vote; they who, from
the beginning to the end, asserted that the
war was failure; that the South conquer
ed, and that Lee was the greatest genera
in the world. These men, thus steepe
and dyed in treason, are now stretching
forth their polluted hands to welcome bacl
the heroes who have, by their fidelity an
unrivaled valor, defed all the cepperhea
opposition, given the lie to their predi.
lions and save the Union, and impudentl
propose a political partnership with them
Such sublime impudenc, has its parall
only in the mendacity Of this same part
last fall, in declaring, in their nation'
platform at Chicago, that the war had bee
q failure for four years, and that the Unit
could only be restored by convention

Remarkable Pedestrian Trav-


The Philadelphia North American says;
There is at present in our city traveller,
Frederick Shaffer, who has devoted some
thirteen years his life in endeavoring to
foot" 1t around the world. A native of
Carle's Hsfcn, in the electorate of Casscl
Germany, he has already traversed over
three-quarters Of the globe, and, incredible
as it may appear, with no other means of
prosecuting his object than that derived
from the precarious occupation of repairing
umbrellas, and occasional charities from
those who feel interes'ed in this seeker of
knowledge under difficulties. One would
naturally Imagine person capable of per.
forming such an unprecedented feat would
be the ipcrsonication Of health, instead OF
which he presents the appearance of small
delicate boy. Early in life he was unfor.
tunate enough to have his hack broken, and
this fact, coupled with his wea,ing little
red cap with tassel Ia Ipuavo, renders hin
quite q conspicuous object
In his ,Ddnder.buch we saw several compli
mentary letters from notabiities in Europe
and from Mayor Gunther If Now York, ant
Mayor Henry, etc He is at present enjoy
ing the hospitalties OF Mr.. John Binder
Exchange Place and Carter street, who ha
kindly given him a home during his sojour
here We wish the little traveller ever
success.

THE ELECTIONS.

The elections held so far have gone
gloriously. MAINE and VERMONT have
both held elections for State officers.
In Maine, Gov. CoNY's majority will
exceed 10000, against little over 49,
600 last year, though the total vote
has fallen off nearly one-third. Maine
has never before shown an increased
majority for our side the year after q
Presidential election. M Oh
Thoreturns are not all in from Ver-
mont, but enough is known to satisfy
us that her majority viii be fully up to
last year, If not larger. ~
This is an encouraging omen to
Union men. GAS goes Maine SO goes
the Union !" lg .L5iot
Connecticut will vote in this month
and Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Min
nesota and West Virginia in October
