The UNION DEAD AT ANDEEsoNvILLE.-M
Clara Barton, the humane Worcester lady
who has gone to Andersonville to give chris
tian burial to such of our soldiers as died
there, writes under date of the 18th ult.,
to friend as follows: tH -
"We arrived here on the 10th, and are
now in the active prosecution of our labors.
Capt. James NJ. Moore, kindly detailed by
Gen. Rucker to assist me in the performance
of our sad, though interesting duties, is low
organizing our forces and preparing the
ground for the reception of the heroic dead.
Two hundred and seyenty-six we're recov-
cred yesterday from the ground outside the
ead-line," beyond which they had acci-
dentally strayed to procure a little fresh
water, or the roots Of shrubs, or trees, to
allay the pangs of thirst and hunger, and
for SO doing were barbarously murdered.

EASTERN NEws.-Leslie, the acrobat, walk
ing on the tight rope over the Niagara Falls,
lately, with peach basket on each foot, a
bucket of water on his head, and one in
each hand, besides the balance pole, STUN
bled when half way across, losing the three
buckets and nearly his life. After strug-
gle, he regained his footing and the shore,
amid loud acclamations. Some folks think
Leslie fool-we don't.

EXIT THE INDEx.-The London h,der, pro-
jected by the insurgents and sustained with
British gold, has finally suspended, after
surviving the Confederaey for few months.
When Lee and Johnston surrendered, the
editors of this veraeious sheet were in no
wise disconnected, but proclaimed that the
Confederates would yet achieve their inde-
pendence beyond the Mississippi. The sue
cumbing of Kirby Smith, however, brought
them to their senses, and "surprised at the
suddenness of the collapse" they forthwith
began to take in sail, and have now followed
the example of Mason and Siidell, and gone
into retirement.

In the fight between the 7th Michigan cav
airy and the Indians, six miles above Little
Laramie, which we published particulars of
few days since, man of the regiment by
the name OF Bacon, was captured by the
Indians after bloody and desperate resist
ance. His captors chained him to the wheel
OF wagon. and after scalping him, pro-
ceeded to pile bacon, with which the wagon
was loaded, around him, and setting fire to
the pile. burned him to death. Let it be
remembered that these are the same Indians
who few months ago were deemed friendly
and drew rations from the Government.
Can anything short of complete extermina-
tion be sufficient punishment for such per-
fdy and fendish atrocity ?-Neus.

The ATLANTIC CABLE.-Capt. Napier reports
as follows: :. - 80
The cable parted on Wednesday, August
"a, at noon, in 1850 fathoms of water. II
was then grappled for three different times,
and raised twelve hundred, and nine hun
urea, ana SIXTY fathoms, respectively, when
the %rappling broke, the cable remaining
unbroken. The Great Eastern returned to
England for stronger and better graphing
gear.
Mr.. Varley, one of the managers, writes
most eneouragingly regarding the cable.
He says: We found no difficulty in grap-
ping the cable, even in the greatest depth
OF water. As soon as proper tackle is pre-
pared, we will probably commence grap-
pllng for the cable again, one hundred miles
east OF the break, where the water is only
l,oOO fathems deep. The buoys ride the
gales well, being fastened by pieces of con-
demned CABLE
