To the Dry Tortugns.

The President has changed the place of
con finement of DR.. Mudd, Spangler, Arnold,
and O'Laughlin from the Albany penitcn-
tiary to the Dry Tortugas, n secure prison on
a barren reef few miles beyond Key West.
No visitors can reach their place of oonfne-
ment except by special permission of the
Government, and there is absolutely no
chance of escape. A more suitable spot for
the incarceration of these conspirators could
not have been selected, and the change will
commend itself to every impartial Judgment.
The solemn roll Of the waves of the gulf the
silent and even ghostly air, or rather want of
air. on these lifeless coral reefs; the absence
Of every living thing save the albatross and
Che shark "the blue above and the blue be-
low, ;" in one unyarying monotony, save the
frequent visit of the hurricane, which only
adds terror to desolation-all these may
faintly picture the far Seaward home of those
to whom the law and the testimony have de-
MED the boon of death.--NeD York Timer.

Is the Atlantic Gable simply GaIyanis
Rafaarv.


EDITOR REPUBLICAN: As the Atlantic cable
is now occupying the attention of tho press
and tho public, will you allow me to present,
through your columns, a theory regarding it
to the SdVanS'
1t is q well-known fact that gutta percha
is not perfect non-conductor Of electricity,
ranking below shelac, glass, sealing wax, 30.
Consequently, there is 4 certain amount Of
connection between tho inner copper wire
and the outside iron covering, through the
gutta percha coating. This point established,
we have all the materials for galvanic bat
terry, the salt water and the two metals sep
arated by partial nou-conductor.
Is II not possible that the former cable was
simply an elongated galvanic battery, and
that the reversal Of its polarity by the i'm
mense batteries produced the electric effect
at the receiving station, which was believed
to be waves or impulses from the sending
station! This theory would account for the
gradual giving out Of the former cable by the
consumption of the material, which was
shown to be nearly destroyed when attempts
were made to raise tit not being Of sufii-
cient strength to be raised to tie surface in
comparatively shallow water. QUERIsT.

The Banks, Meeting In New oriean


The New Orleans correspondent Of the

in the Crescent City on the Fourth of July,

there would be celebration at the Custom
House, at twelve o'clock, uuder the auspices

and was not long in discovering my error;
for, upon arriving at the head Of the stairs,

will accommodate ten thousand persons, was
filled TO its utmost capacity.

perform the duties Of q citizen Of the United
States the propriety Of their leaving the
country, the Charlottesville man thus re-
minds the Government Of It's duty towards
the amnestied:
Except the cases specially reserved in the
proclamation OF the President, all Of us who have
taken the amnesty oath are absolutely and en-
tircly restored to all the rights and privileges Of
citizens Of the United States; and while we are
bound, as above stated, to true allegiance and
fealty, the Government is reciprocally bound TO
care for and protect us, aud morally bound to
alleviate our suGerings and bind uP TIE toounds
,ohich zoe have recsired. "
And so II would appear from the reason
ings Of these lately -erring brethren, that se-
cession was only q "blunder," and that Il
was bluuder because the experiment re-
suited in disaster to the South This is re-
markaby cool for the season. II cachinna-
tion is possible in the internal regions, We
imagine the arch fend must have laughed
loud and long when he Received his copy Of

walls all over the South Because they were
beaten and chastised into obedience @ they
6lnndyed. If they had succeeded it would
have been all right. The rebellion which has
cost the country so much blood and treasure
was a "blundor" because 1t injured the
South JEFF. DAVIS, according to these
astute philosophers, is to be tried (whilc the
Government is, as in duty bound, binding up
the wounds the amnestied have received) for
having committed a "blunder.' -Four as-
sassins of the rebellion were hung tho other
day for having HHndered! Jous WILKES
BoorH was shot by sergeant of the l6th
New York cavalry for his laundering!
We pray Heaven that there may be no
serious blunders committed in the work Of re-
constructing those portions Of the Union
shattered by the internal "blunder" Of
secession.

One Of the Richmond papers, which plumes
itself upon its loyalty, in its issue of Tuesday
commences q leading article with the follow
ing language, the italics being ours:
''It requires no mental aeumen to discover now
that secession was bluader. But IL stL re-
Iaires s0Die moral courage 10 make the dOtBiiS-
sion. Secession was blunder; not no much In
the fact that IL destroyed slavery, for slavery
could not have much longer existed bat ia Tie
def hta the destrucfi0n came Ia the manner most
ruiaOUs 10 The SOuth.''
The editor proceeds TO echo an article
copied into his columns from the Charlottes-
willie Chyo1ieie, the burden of which is, that
Il was not worth while for the South to rebel
against the Government for the sake of pre-.
serving the institution of slavery, because
that Institution had been doomed to extinc.
tion by the Almighty. But there is no ac-
knoWlsdgmsnt that tho treason amounts to
anything more than "blunder"
Says the Charlottesville Chronicle: ..
1--WE raise NO question about The Justaess 0t
the quarrel. That Is neither here nor there.
We oaiy say that secession was binnier, and
the ruin Of the South Is the consequence Of that
blunder. 4" g.. r'...
1t is plain, from the language of these
people. that they cling to the right of seces-
sion, and only denounce the leaders of the
late movement for bringing on the contest ut
time and under circumstances that rem
dered failure inevitable. Says the Rich
mond print:
THE Southern mind aud Southern politics
were under the absolute control Of q set OF men
who's iniatnatlon and obstinacy were In an In
verAs ratio with their want Of intellect and states

ing the blind, aud both falling into the ditch. "
Says the Charlottesville Chronicle:
at was the folly Of Mr.. Jefferson Davis Il Co.
to attempt To deepen aud widen the foundations
Of slAysIy. They were not satisfied to recognize
slavery as u transitOry' institution, destined In
