The New ATLANTIC CABLE The new
cable now being constructed in Eng
land, for the Atlantic telegraph, weighs,
in air, BASS pounds per nautical mile.
and in water, ! $50 pounds. Its break
ing strain is the weight of II miles of
the cable. The amount to be shipped
is 2,730 miles The cable now being
manufactured, is stronger, more hexi-
BILE and more elastic than the cable of
last year and the machinery for pay
ing out has been improved, SO that in
case any accident occurs, the cable
can be underrun and hauled on board
ship without the hazardous operation
Of transferring it from the stern to
the bows of the Great Eastern
Three ships will be employed in
laying it, and it is expected that the
work will begin early in July. It is
mentioned as a curious fact, that the
submerged cable, which the telegraph
managers are sanguine of recovering,
is now more perfectly insulated than
when it left Valencia Bay last year

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.--A most distressing
accident occurred yesterday noon while
the salute in honor of Washington's
birthday was being fired in the park. A
Young man named Robinson, student in
the Commercial School, was assisting in
firing the cannon, and while ramming a
cartridge, was blown from the muzzle OF
the gun by premature discharge. a
He was thrown some ten feet from
where he was standing, and when picked
up was insensible. He was taken into the
Capitol and medical assistance. sent for.
DR.. Ward was soon BY his side, and adj,
vised his immediate removal home before
his wounds were dressed. On cxamina-
tion it was foundthat his right forearm
was shattered so as to give no hope of being
saved, his breast and face badly bruised,
and clavic'e probably broken, bmt in con
sequence of the great swelling in that por
tionof his body, this could not be defi-
nitely ascertained. One eye was. Sc
vercly injured, but there are hopes of its
being saved. Yesterday afternoon the
sufft rer's arm was amputated at the lower
third, few inches above the elbow He
soon rallied from the shock, and this morn
ing was comparatively comfortably. a1
AS in all snch cases, the speculatons as
to the exact cause of the accident, are in
Vulnerable, every bystandcr having diff
ferent theory and all equally positive of
the correctness Of their opinions. We
understand that the gun used is new
one, and considered perfect, and that
great care was used to properly close the
vent. 1t was not the gun in use when
Wickert was killed. .-Nadison Capitol.

The Journal contains the particu-
lars of ''almost an accident which oc-
CURED at Madison few days ago. While
Rev. Mr. Fellows was speaking to a large
audience on the occasion of The meeting
of the Bible society, a noise was heard
like the report of a cannon, when suddenly
those occupying the center of the church
found the floor sinking under them
There was quite an alarm for moment or
two, as no ore could tell how low it would
sink, nor wnst consequences might ensue.
and the floor was speedily relieved of its
pressure, and its downward progress stayed.
Investigation into the cause of the aeci-
dent shows that great disaster was mar
rowly escaped. 1t appears that one of
the transverse beams, by some carelessness
subsequent to the enlargement of the
church. had been left with insufficient
support of scantlings, which were crushed
by the u..usual pressure, but the beams
ioists, and floors held together, and did
not break mp. Had the floor sunk little
lower. they must have separated, and
those on the unsupported floor fallen thro',
when serious loss of life and limb must
have resulted.

since. Also, that an infant, poorly clad

The Wisconsin says that on Saturday
the noon train on the Milwaukee and Chi
cago railroad ran off the track this side of
Rockland, smashing up two of the ladies'
cars. One man was slightly injured. The
accident was caused by the breaking Of a
rail. Friday, as the six P. m. train was
coming up from Chicago, the body Of man
was discovered lying near the track. about
nine miles south of that city, Before the
train could be stopped the pilot of the en-

Major Davenport, of Shullsburg, has
now the richest lead mine in that vicinity.
In drifting from his old lead, short time
since, he discovered large opening, the
walls of which have the appearance of
being solid mass of mineral Last year
100000 pounds of mineral were taken
from these diggings. worth from $4,000
to $4,000, and yet the new discovery
yields much better than that The Messrs
Law, who have been mining successfully
at Stump Grove for the past two years,
sold their mine recently to DIR. George w
Lee, f,r about $4,000. and not three
days after the sale was completed, the
miners broke into a vertical opening,
eighteen feet up and down, containing a
solid sheet of mineral about fifteen inches
thick. The Messrs. Law observe that they
disposed of their mines little too soon

Comments of the Press.

For the purpose Of showing how the
presidents veto message is received by the
people generally throughout the United
States, we copy the following comments of
some of the leading newspapers on the
subject:
The New York Tribune says: "We
deeply regret this, and we think he will
have to regret it even more deeply. For
this veto will be understood by all that is
brutal and ruffianly at the south as giving
license to any abuse and oppression of the
blacks that white mallgnity and rancorous
hate can devise"
The New York Times says: "The veto
implies no essential difference of opinion
between the executive and the majority in
congress on the primary object of the bill.
In no essential point is the president at
variance either with the majority in Con-
gress or with the country, so far as the
claims of the freedmen are concerned. He
seeks to reach the end aimed at in the We
toed bill by other, and, what he deems,
less radical agencies"
The New York World says: "President
johnson has nobly sustained his character
for steadiness ofpurpose and political cour-
age by the veto he sent to the senate yes
terday of the bill for enlarging the powers
of the freedmen's bureau"
The New York Herald says "The
freedmens bureau bill has, at the hands Of
president johnson, met with the fate it
deserved. His general arguments and his
specifications against the bill are consistant
convincing and conclusive"
The Chicago Tribune says: "The veto
will at least have one good effect, namely
in affording conclusive proof to doubling
souls of Mr.. Johnsons recreancy to the
great cause for which our people laid down
their lives and their property, and convine-
ing our citizens by logic of a most ugly
fact, of the backslidng of their cheif mag
istrate, which, notwithstanding the most
oininous indications, they have been so far
10th to believe" aol ;gdN
The Chicago Times says: Something
else than clamor and denunciations willibe
needed to excite public sentiment against
president Johnson for his veto of the freed
mems bureau bill He was careful to rid
die it in his veto message. No bill has
ever been returned to the American con-
gress with clearer, stronger, and more con-
vincing reasons for disapproval'
The Chicago Repet6lican saws: GAS is
evident from the veto message, the reasons
of the president are those of man who,
finding himself thwarted in his own policy,
is determined that, if he cannot have his
way, no other branch Of the government
shall do so.' 9a1
