RAISING THE WRECK OF THE PATRICK HENRY.
On yesterday we noticed the United States
Government wrecking steamer Jean Sands
making preparations to raise the wreck of the
steamer Patrick Henry, which was blown mp
and sunk at the lower wharf at Rockets on
the Sd of April, 1863 The steamer has every
facility for raising the largest kind OF wrecks,
and commenced with the lk-inch iron cable,
connected with the wreck. She has also a
diving man regularly employed, and on yes
terday we had the pleasure of seeing him with
his armor on, consisting of a helmet, or head
piece like n smoke stack, with breast and back
plates of lead, and thick, heavy lead bottom
shoes, make descent under the water, where
he remained for some ten minutes TO find ont
at what point the cable was attached to the
wreck, which he did with perfect accuracy.
The performance was witnessed by large
crowd, who were no doubt startled al the idea
of man walking about ut the bottom of the
river. AS it will take some days TO raise the
wreck, persons will no doubt avail themselves
Of the opportunity to witness the great curl
osity of q diving man."
AMERICAN TELEGRAPH COMPASY-REAovAL.-

from the corner of Fourteenth and Franklin to
the corner Of Twelfth and Main streets The
new office is large, commodious and hand
somely fitted up, and the constant click-clack

the amount of business which the company
transact. The branch offices of the company

tinued as usual.

THE GARRoTISG CASES. III. Fenan and
Mayor yesterday TO answer the charge of
feloniously assaulting and robbing jeremiah
Reagan on last Monday night.
Callahan was examined on Wednesday, and
il will be remembered that Reagan, in his
testimony, stated that when he recovered from
the blow that had been struck him by the per
sons that robbed him, he found on the ground
near him an envelope directed to s Fl. Fenan.
Fenan-not Fairyend-was in the court
room at the time rs n witness TO testify to
Callahan'S gaod character. He was imme-
diately arrested, and Il ring, which was identi-
fled rs Reagan's property, found upon him.
Callahan's case was postponed until yester-
day, and Fenan committed to Jail with him.
The case was brought up yesterday, and
Reagan testified TO the same facts as he had
recited on the day before. a man named
Brady appeared and testified that he had
found the ring III question under a chair in
the Syracuse House, and gave it TO Fenan.
Fenan was one of the proprictors Of the house.
This accounted for the latter's possessing the
show that the envelope found by Reagan was
amongst his papers when he left the Syracuse
House. His Honor did not deem the evidence
sufficient, however, to relieve Fenan of all
suspicion, 50 he remanded the parties for
further examination before the Hastings
Court, consentng 10 give them bail in the sum
of two thousand dollars, each, for their APP

Bold Attempt to Break Jail.

An attempt was made on Sunday morn
ing TO overpower Sheriff Davidson and his
assistants and rid him of his boarders. The
circumstances were as follows; II is the
custom every Sabbath morning 70 bring
the prisoners, in squads, to the front Office
for the purpose Of giving them shave. II
is rather commendable in our worthy
Sheriff TO pay these weekly compliments Ia
his flock and should be repaid with better
conduct.
Previous to the first installment of fshavers
In the office on last Sunday, the Deputy
Sheriff Mr.. Berry, had got some word of n
proposed conspiracy TO do some foul work
and things were prepared to meet the ap-
preaching disasters. Several of the prison
ers were brought out among them desper-
ado named Grubb, whoquietly took his seat
and rested easily under the manipulating
operations of the barber. All at once he
made an effort 10 strike the Deputy Mr..
Berry, when two policemen previously
placed In concealment stepped toward and
subdued the gentle villain. His weapon
was = regularly constructed ''hiliyn made
of lead.
Some mystery was apparent as 10 where
the metal had come from to manufacture
this deadly missile, and senrch being made,
II was found that Il had been gouged from
the crcvices of the stone wall, where inser-
tions had been made for the hinges Of the
different doors. The sheriff, very happily
follcd this bold attempt at head breaking
aud Jail breaking, and him and his deputies
deserve much credit for the constant vigil
lance with which they are guarding these
breakers Of public peace, law and good or
der.
our jail is full OF desperate characters
and the rostlessncss of the prisoners and
their bold attempts ut escape Is accounted
for by the near approach of justice to be
dealt In our courts Too much praise can
not be bestowed upon Mr.. Davidson for
his vigilance, and We hope that he may
meet with nothing disastrous In his line of
duty.
