NJ. Woodbridge. The services were held
in the Centenary M. 4. Church, conducted
by Rev. DR.. Wickes, of the Congregational
Church. The house was crowded to over
flowing, and very large procession---the
family of the deceased, the members of the
Bar of Washington county, and friends and
citizens generally-followed the remains to
the Mound Cemetery. The bearers were

regret, we, the membersot the Washington
county Bar, have heard Of the death of our
late associate, the Hon. VIM. A. Whittlesey.
During the whole period of our connection
with the profession in this county, we have
been witnesses of the estimable qualities of
the deceased. AS lawyer, his discrimin-
ating mind, his legal requirements, the
friendliness and honesty of his counsels,
his urbanity In the court room, and his uni-
form courtesy and kindness towards
the junior members of the profess
sion, have elected our esteem, and
endeared him in our recollections.
AS a citizen and neighbor, the kindliness
of his dispositiOnyhis liberality, his cheer
tulness, and his remarkable freedom from
all feelings of envy, resentment and ill will,
won for him the respect and friendship of
all who knew him. We tender to the fam

bereavement; and as testimonyOf our re-
gard for the memory of our deceased asso-
ciate we, in body, will attend his funer-

committee be requested to present copy
of the same to the Court of Common Pleas,

Atlantic Cable,

By dispatches from the East, we are in
been successfully laid, and several messages
transmitted Through its entire length. This
is one of the greatest achievements of the age
and to the projectors of this mighty undertak-
ing and to those who have been mainly instru-
mental in its completion. the sntire civilized
world is deeply indebted. The principal
cities of the Eastern States are now placed
in direct telegraphic communication with
England and the continent. and we, on this
coast, will receive our European news at the
same time We get dispatches from New York,
St. Louis and Chicago, instead of having to
wait twelve orfourteen days for intelligence
by steamer. As would naturally be expect
ed, the London papers claim that the concep
ton and successful completion of this great
work is due entirely to British genius and
enterprise. That large portion of the mon
ey necessary to carry out an undertaking of
this magnitude was furnished by English
capitalists, we do not deny; but the one to
whom the greatest credit is due, and to whom
the world owes the most, is Cyrus w. Field,
a native of the State of New York. He it
was who first advanced the idea of the prac-
tieability of such an enterprise, and finally
succeeded in convincing other capitalists of
its feasibility. In 1856 he organized the At
lautic Telegraph Company, and having re-
ceived aid from our own and the English
Governments, the cable was completed and
successfully laid in 1867. For nearly
month the line worked well, and number
of messages were sent from Valentia to New
foundland. Owing to some defect in the
cable it soon ceased to work. In 1865,
new cable having been completed, an attempt
was made to submerge it; when about half of
it had been laid, the cable parted and as the
Great Eastern, aboard which it was slowed,
was not supplied with the necessary appli-
ances for raising it, she was obliged to leave
it and steam back to Valentia. A new cable
was Immediately commenced, which was
completed and coiled aboard the Great East
ern in June last. Early in the month of
July, having spliced the shore end at Valen-
tia. she steamed away for the far-distant
shores of Newfoundland, where she arrived
after short passage, without any accident
happening to the cable. Messages were re-
ceiyed from and transmitted to Valentia eve
ry day during the voyage. The cable is in

At the beginning Of our enterprise, more

increased facilities for perfect work We are at

should entitle them to that distinction. San
Andreas may be '.in luck" but if it is we
can't see it. For your benefit, Mr.. Gazette,
we will state that the officers and records of
this county still "linger" at Mokelumne
Hill, where they belong, and where they will
remain until the officers are as "grav as
badgers" provided they can hoodwink the
people into electing them.

oAN ASDREAs JUBILANT.-The Supreme
Court having decided the long-contested
county scat question, between Mokelumne
LII and San Andreas, in favor of the latter
place, the good citizens of that town had a
grand publication when the news was receiv-
ed at that place. The suit has cost Gala
veras about 100000. The Calaveras folks
IN these parts appear to be well pleased with
the declson.-Alpine Chronicle.
"a fellow feeling makes you wondrous
kind" don't it. Markleeville and San An
dreas are in about the same fix, and it's no
wonder they condole with each other. The
citizens of San Andreas, however have got
a1lttle the advantage of those of Marklee-
vile; they have got chance to fight for the
county seat for while yet, and by drawing
largely on their imagination, have got up a
Jollilcation or two; but the Markleeyillians
never had ghost of show, nor came near
enough winning the county seat of Alpine
to even fire an anvil. You say "the Gala
veras folks in your parts seem to be well
pleased with the decision" We. don't doubt
1t. We should naturally expect that any
one who is id fool enough to leave this
county, where man can make living by
hard labor, for such barren, dreary, sterile,
ice-bound, played out section of country as
Markleeville is, would be in favor in San
Andreas. Long before the county seat is
removed from Mokelumne Hill, the Alpine
Chronicle and its sympathetic editor will
have ceased to exist, and Marklecville have
become bowling Wilderness inhabitcd'only
by coyotes and skunks.

Weekly Calaveras chronicle., 1866-08-04

A CORRESPONDENT of the Amador Ledqer,
writing from Volcano, has the following in
regard to an item which we published two
weeks ago, in relation to the West Point
quartz gold dust:
Not five per cent. of the gold taken out at
West Point comes to Volcano, while thou
sands of dollars are sent from Amador to
Calaveras and sold for a fraction more per
ounce than can be obtained in Amador. The
truth is, Calaveras is largely indebted to
Amador for her returns of gold, and think
l can say without boasting, that the fact of
her adjoining the richest quartz county in
the State has given her prestige in the mar
ket that she never would have otherwise OBJ
tanned.
This correspondent. is either lamentably
ignorant about the subject upon which he at
tempts to write, or else he wilfully misrep-
resents the facts. We got our information
from the very persons who are the largest
shippers of dust from that locality, and they
told US that three-fourths of all the gold ta-
ken out at West Point was sold in Volcano,
or sent to San Francisco by that route. We
presume these gentlemen know as much about
their own affairs as this Volcano wiseacre
does. AS to those thousands of dollars
which are sent from Amador to this county
and sold for fraction more per ounce than
can be obtained at home" that is all CANNON.
We do not believe there was ever gold
enough brought from Amador to this county
to be sold, to pay mans toll across the
bridge. In conclusion, he says that "the
fact that Calaveras adjoins the richest quartz
county in the State has given her prestige
in the market that she would have never
otherwise obtained When we consider
that, notwithstanding the large amount of
gold which Amador receives from this coun-
ty, our shipments of dust are fully equal to
hers, and that when the mills which are in
process of erection are completed. our returns
will double theirs, the last statement of this
correspondent-appears simply ridiculous
That Amador has some rich quartz leads,
and that generally speaking she is nice lit
tie county, we do not doubt; but the limited
extent of her territory precludes the possibil-
ity of her competing with her mother in
quartz mining or anything else.
