The Copperhead press have taken the ut
most pains to exonerate JEFF. Davis, General
Lee, and other high officials, from all blame
in this murderous affair Now that Captain
Wertz, the 6endish jailor, has been arrested
and held for trial, they are busy attempting
to whtewash the infamous man. The Chicago
Times says: "If testimony on both sides is
received it will not be difficult to prove that
Captain Wertz acted towards the prisoners in
the most humane manner, and did all for
their comfort that laid in his poarer" Who,

able. Then, everything seems to have been
taken for granted; now, nothing is left to
chance or theory. The strength of the cable,
as we'll as its iusularity and "conductivity,"
has been perfectly established. twill bear
a weight of nearly eight tons, and can safely
be depended on to support eleven miles OF
its length In water. Instead Of being COM
mitted now to two ships, as formerly, the
whole cable is slowed on board the Great
Eastern; and to that vessel, aided by con-
sorts which will supply assistance but carry
none Of the wire, the great task Of deposit
ing the cable on the bottom of the Atlantic
is 10 be intruSted. II is slowed in three
tanks, which are respectively, 81 feet, So
feet In, and So feet in diameter, and will
hold a coil-the first of $50 miles, the second
of $40 miles, and the third Of $50 miles Of
cable. The mechanical arrangements for
its delivery are not materially different from
those on the Niagara and AgamemnOn. 1t
is on the character Of the cable itself that
the company rest their chief hopes of a more
permanent success than attended their last
experimentn
