ceived in that city by the Postmaster
LOUISVILLE, Ky, July 8, 1866.
p. NJ, Portland, Maine:
DEAR SIR-aenerat Sherman, the Great Arson
and Fire King, is oneo more abroad with his in
oendiary torches. Every day we hear Of destruc-
tive fire in some locality at the North. As long
as sherman remained stationary at st. Louis and
chicago, fires were principally confined to tn ose
places. Now, that this great drsolator is on his
march North, we hear daily Of fires either in his
front or rear. Day before yesterday the town Of
!awrenceburg, Indiana, was consumed by fire.
Yesterday we heard OF your town suffering from
the fires OF Heaven, and to-day another fire is re-
ported in Pennsylvania and look for such re-
ports daily until the vengeance Of the Almighty
Is appeased by the destruction OF seven fold the
amount Inflicted by the desolating march through
the South by the Great Arson-fres in his front
Gres In his rear, fires at his right and fires at his
left hand is destined to be your fatest the North
The total destruction Of New York city and Bos-
ton by fire would not equal the si1ty-mile wide
tramp Of Sherman through Georgia. Ijust call
your attention to this matter in order that your
curiosity may lead you to observe, 10.
Yours, joan SMITH.

been written, II all who thought like John Smith
had taken the trouble to express their opinion.

TESTING THE CABLE.-The Times correspon
dent, who accompanies the Atlantic Telegraph
expedition, says that not day has passed since
the fracture OF last years cable that its Insulation
has not been almost hourly tested at the Irish
end: These tests show its condition up to the
broken end, 1900 miles from shore, to be abao-
lutely perfect. "fhere is always certain amount
OF resistance to an electric current entering a
cable, which is called retardation, and is mea.
sured by millions Of units 4 submarine wire Of
certain length can, therefore, always bs mea-
snred Oh, as it were, and It's insulating and con-
ouctlVe powers asoerbained to within mile OF a

wlre: Ihese tests as we have said have been
carried on hourly with last years cable, and the
result as to millions Of units has corresponded
day by day in the most remarkable manner. OF
course both it's 'conductivity" and resstance have
prevailed; but nine times out Of ten The Resistance
test has been the same, even to miliionth unit.
day after day, and these tests are identical with
those which would be obtained from q perfect
submarine rope 1860 miles long. The readings
OF the barometer at the station also afford the
most curious data, which until now have been
almost entirely overlooked IN electrical science as
connected with the submarine cables It is found
that exactly in proportion as tho barometer rose
the resistance Of the current increased, and pioe
Versa. In plain terms, low barometer meant n
good cable, and high barometer O bad one.
Another curious circumstance which has son1o.
times been noticed, but never carefully recorded
till now, is that between twelve and two in the day
and only at those hours, the cable Ia always ut s
worst"

Good News from Maryland


The following letter, written by J. ". FoRNEY,
to his paper in Philadelphia, The Press, brings
cheering intelligence:
WASHINGTON, D. O., July %, 1s66.-The Aspect
in Maryland ia by no means promising. In saying
ahis desire to state a fact and warming at the
same time. Governor Swaun, chosen by Union
men, ia following the example Of Andrcw john
son. and preparing to betray his friends. It is not
doubted that, through the sinister influence of
Montgomery Blair, he will appoint commissioners
under the registry law, who will enroll the names
of returned rebels in the different countless All
hopes OF q different result are given up and now
the tried and trusted patriots who ,ttered them
solves that Mary land Was wholly secured to the
Union, are preparing for desperate struggle in
November.
Remembering tho oounsels and the admonitions
OF their illustrious and lamented leader, Henry
Winter Davis, wuo, in the darkest hours OF the
rebellion, maintained steady confidence in the
final result, aud loudly called upon the people to
rally around the imperi!ed Republic they will
fight to the last. Trained their enemies are TO
dissimulato and accustomed to all the arts en-
ployed to drag Mar! land out Of the Union, an
effort will be made to put the Radicals of Mary
lana IN the wrong-to force cohhict, ii possible
conflict Of arms-and thus to furnish a pretext
and other Johnson teachers.
In other words, If the Unionsts of Maryland re-
sist the attempt Of the returned rebels to overawe
and overwhelm them at the polls, then Andrew
johnson will be called upon to declare martial law
to lntercede by the army to give tho rights OF
down Che brave spirits who saved Maryland from
the fate OF Virginia and South Carolina. You will
observe that nothing has recently proceeded from
tho White House inconsistent with precisely this
sequel. And should it transpire, you can go back
to Andrew Johnson's 22d OF February speech to
find the sources. From that period to the present
every step has been a new usurpaton, q new be.
trayal and new prescription, and when the plot
is fully prepared for Maryland you may anticipate
the same attempt upon Missouri; but in tho latter
State ! think treason and it's red-handed myrmi-
dons will probably receive a warmer welcome than
that which awaits them in Maryland.

SUDDEN DEATH-The wife of Mr.. N. Clary
who keeps shop and resides on Commercial
street at the foot of Park street, was found
dead in her bed about nine O'Clock yesterday
morning. She had previously been about the
house and was discovered by one of her chill
dren who entered the room.
Mrs. @. had been unwell for some days, but
not so much so as to be confined to her room.
At times she has exhibited symptoms of men
tai alteration, but there was nothing in her
death to cause suspicion that she died other
wise than from some natural cause. This was
the opinion of Coroner Hall, who was called,
and who deemed an inquest unnecessary.
