According to the last advices, the
Great Eastern was to begin laying
the Atlantic cable on the 10th, and
she is now, therefore, well on her
way outward. But there are always
apt TO be unforeseen causes of delay
and detention; and if the present ca
ble gets laid before the last week of
July everybody will be satisfied, not
to say agreeably surprised. 1t is
true every possible precaution against
accidents has been taken. We sup
pose there is no doubt that the new
cable is by far the strongest and most
complete ever constructed. 1t will
sustain twelve miles Of its own weight
between the ship and the bottom Of
the ocean. The paying out apparatus
has been greatly improved, and many
new eXpedients, suggested by the for
mer trials, have been added. But,
after all, the possibility remains that
trouble may occur at precisely those
points which, never having given any
/ before, have been overlooked. The
task of laying a 1900 mile ocean cable
! Is at once so gigantic, delicate, pro
tracted and variable that success will
be truly wonderful. But some time
or other the thing is to be done, and
let US hope that time has at length ar
rived.
1t would certainly be something
more than a curious coincidence, il
the ocean telegraph should be estab
Ilshed III time to transmit the events
OF the great war now opened on the
Continent of Europe. 1t would ma
terially change our relations toward
the English press. Instead of relying
upon their columns, after the prelim
mary dispatches from Father Point o
Halifax, for the whole mass of GU,
acknowledgements should have on
, European news every morning anC
evening, as promptly and regularly a
that from the various points of on
own country. Battles in German,
and Venetia would come to hand. il

Vetoed and yet it is a Law.

On the 18th inst, the President
to the House, the bill which
had passed both branches Of Congress,
extending the time Of the Freedmen's
Bureau, with his reasons, why the
same should not become law; which
we're similar to those communicated
by him to Congress and tie country,
ON the 18th of February last.
The question as to whether the bill
should become a law, the President
veto Notwithstanding, was decided
very quick, by a two-thirds vote IL
both the upper and lower Houses
, which leaves Congress again maste

Result of the European War.

If the war in Europe should result
according to the present indications,
we think it would give general salts
faction in this country though there
may be some manifest drawbacks to
the chief advantages inuring to the
people Of Europe. 1t would further
aggrandize for the present the Napo-
leonic dynasty in France. To that
goes Venetia nominally, and yet we
fear not quite so nominally but that
before he transfers it to Victor EN-
manuel, he will take his equivalent in
the acquisition of Sardinia, and per
haps other material compensations.
And then the distinction of being the
recognized arbiter of this whole con.
troversy greatly advances the power
and influence of Louis Napoleon. But
there might be worse things in Europe
than the ascendency Of France, in the
present stage of Continental affairs
at least.
On the other hand, Italy, in all
probability, gets Venetia, thus com
pleting her kingdom, under circum-
stances which will not incite arrogance
or belligerant disposition. She viii
quietly go to work to develop hen
internal resources. Austria. the most
reactionary of the great governments
of Europe, the most bigoted in hcl
religious and political spirit, is heavily
Inundated. Francis Joseph is un
doubtedly better than his nation, but
he is necessarily controlled in a great
degree by his position. Prussia, OF
the other hand, is better than hen
Government, and the effect of this

Hence the success of those measures
reflects credit and honor upon him.
Morrill, opposed the financial measures
that saved us. Hence we claim that
their success reflects no honor upon
him, but on the contrary, shows want
Of proper appreciation of the fnan-
cial necessities of the war. But
enough upon this point.
After spending some time about Mr..
Morrill's support Of the different tariff
and tax measures of the last five years,
which, in our first article, we gave him
credit for, Mr.. Walton further says, by
way of defending his "hero:"
"Now what if there are little spots in Mr.. Nor
rill's career There are spots on the sun, but it
shines gloriousy still it enlightens and WHITES
the earth. Will friend Grout blot it out from the
skies, and hang candle in its place Wei ath-
er think not"
Certainly not. What then; does
it follow that Mr.. Morrill, is a fnan-
cial "hero ?" You will remember friend
Walton it was your proposition, that
he was a hero: and it seems to US,
when you have to 60 among the
heavenly bodies for material out of
which to establish his heroism, or by
means Of which, in a brilliant manner
to "gloriously" explain away his faults,
that you have under your care, a
very ethereal hero indeed; reminding
Une, somewhat, Of tue my tlvlug ioal
creations of an earlier day. The truth
is, Mr.. Walton, and it may as well be
confessed, as concealed, Mr.. Morrill,
did not take a broad, statesman-like
view of our financial necessities at the
outset of the war. His notions were
very well for the country in time OF
peace, but were wholly inapplicable
to state Of war. 1t is true that
many good men entertained like views
with Mr.. Morrill,, upon this financial
question; but all such were clearly
wrong. Because they were wrong
however, on this point, we do not say,
that they have never rendered the
country any valuable service. All
that we say, is, that their friends must
not claim for them what is untrue and
in the case at hand, Mr.. Morrill's
friends must not claim that the finan-
cial success Of the country during the
war, is attributable to him, when it is
conceded that he opposed the very
scheme that gave us that success; what
we object to, is this untruthful, I'M
merited laudation Of Mr. Morrill, that
is all. We think Mr.. Walton, that you
claim too much in this particular for
your "hero;" much more than the facts
will warg rSant; and to this object, as
oeing over-wrought and extravaganza.
Now if you would own it, and leave
it there, and not try to get round it,
bv way of GEN. GRANT and the Sun,
we should be satisfied. We presume
you see the point.

Messrs. Editors Il had the pleas
ure, while spending day in your
town, of witnessing the trial of now
ing machines, On the farm of Mr.. Ben
ton, which occurred on Friday, the
18th inst, between the Buckeye, Gran
lite State, and Clipper machines.
The day was fine, and the land Sc
lected admirably adapted to test the
quality of the machines. The Clip
per did good work, bnt where the
bottom was thick, and the grass fine,
it fell far behind either of the other
machines. The Granite State did
much better; but the Buckeye sur
mounted every obstacle, not once clog
cling, or "biting the DUST as did the
other machines. A great desideratum
with farmers when purchasing a ma
chine, should be to get one which can
be used to advantage on rough ground,
and at the same time, one that requires
as little power to work it as possible,
and in this respect, the Buckeye ma
chine presented a great advantage

WASHINGTON, July IL. 1t is posi-
lively ascertained that Postmaster
Gen. Dennisoh has rendered his res
ignation to the President. This was
done i'll writing. The reason as stat
ed by Dennison himself, is a differ
ence Of political views. 1t will be
recollected that he was President of
the Union Republican Convention
which re-nominated Mr.. Lincoln, new
er intending otherwise than to adhere
to the party, whose principles it rep
resented, and as the call for nation
al convention at Philadelphia is in
antagonism to that organization, there
was no other course left to him than
to retire from the Cabinet, while his
personal relations with the President
are undisturbed and friendly. The
separation is entirely of political
views.

Taylor VS.. Reynolds. This was an

New USE OF OXYGEN.-The use of
Oxygen gas for Illuminating purposes
seems destined at last to be success
full. Heretofore the principal objec-
ton has been the great expense, the
cost being about one dollar cubic
foot, but experiments have been made
in France which prove that it may be
afforded for two cents foot. The
new source OF oxygen is the reaction
OF silica upon sulphate of lime. By
directing jet Of oxygen through an
ordinary gas-burner, the Illuminating
power Of the gas is greatly increased,
and a saving Of from forty to fifty per
cent effected. The introduction of
the oxygen into the flame has also
important consequences to health. 1t
will destroy all the noxious gases
which have escaped the purifiers, and
only water and carbonic acid will re-
suit from the combustion,
