RECOVERY OF THE OLD ATLANTIC CABLE.
The London Times publishes the follow
ing minute particulars Of the recovery Of the
Atlantic Cable Of 1865;
II any Of our readers can imagine what
the difficulty would be Of picking up little
rope in Cheapside from the top Of st. Pau's,
they will be able to form faint notion Of the
difficulty Of lifting the wire lost last year in
three miles depth of water and in the middle
Of the Atlantic. Apparently, however, tho
ships, fitted with proper apparatus, found no
more difficulty in graphing than one might
experience in raising night lines for eels.
They all caught it, and caught it when and
where they wanted. The weather was very
rough, but nevertheless, the Med way, which
was the first on the ground, succeeded in
catching it, raising it partly and bouying it,.
In the night, however, while heavy sea was
running, the bouy ropes gave way, and the
cable went to the bottom again. IL must be
remembered that from repeated sounds taken
for lhe purpose Of the telegraph, no ocean
bed is 80 we'll known 10 us as the bottom Of
the Atlantic Where the cable was grapped
for it is covered with a soil composed literal
ly of minute shells Of the dtatomace0 tribe,
s9 minute, in fact, az to be only visible under
a microscope and so fne in their organiza-
tion as to prove that not the slightest motion
eau exist at those depths, for otherwise their
delicate formations would be destroyed. On
these the cable has lain harmlessly as on a
1sd Of sand, and the grapnel, as we have said,
50 once caught it. The Great Eastern ana
be Midway did not aerive on the searching
ground till the 18th of the month, aud after
preliminary arrangements had been made for
v1rking in concert, the Great Eastern, on
hs evening Of the 18th, caught and raised
he cable more than 500 f,thoms. In the act
Il bloyng It, the buoy rope slipped, and it
vas again LOST On The second day she
caugh. it again, and this time brought it to
be surface in the act Of bringing it over
he bows the grapnel surged, and the wire
gain plunged down to its resting place,
hree miles beneath the ships. Once more,
within two days, it was raised by the Great
Eastern, while the Albany to the west. caught
md broke it, and all the work nad to be be-
gun again On the 2o,h the Medway caught
and brought it up thousand tathoms,
when, the sea being rough, aud the strain on

pitching Of the vessel, the rope broke. On
me evening Of the same day, however, the
Albany caught it again and brought il to the
surface, and the Great Eastern, to " make as
lrance doubly sure got two miles Of it on
board aud securely buoyed what was outside
q he vessel. The work Of making the splice
At once commenced, but not where the wire
was fastened to the buoy. The Great East
srn, on the contrary, under-run the wire to
4 considerable distance to the east, in order
20 get rid Of the tangle in which the differ
cnt bouy and grapnel ropes must have in
volved its western extremity. After this
necessary process some eighty miles Of the
wire were abandoned"

ADMIRAL" sEMMEs ON sTILTs.-As the
pirate semmes, who was chosen to the office
Of Judge Of Probate at Mobile, has not been
allowed to exercise the functions ofthat office,
great Inconvenience and hardship have been
caused to widows and orphans by the delay
Ia the settlement Of estates, and the detri-
ment to the public has become o serious that
the Mobile Tribune has called upon semmes
to resign. To this demand the freebooter
responds 10 his paper, the Mobile Gazette, in
grandiloquent style. After saying that he
had been chosen to the office by the people
and commissioned by the Governor, and that
II he is obstructed in the discharge Of his du-
ties it is no fault Of his, he continues;
"Can any citizen Of Alabama, with these
facts before him, call upon Admiral Semmss
to resign, without feeling himself inwardly
rebuked for a want Of that manly State pride
which, above all things else, snould charac-
terize the true citizen, Have the citizens Of
Alabama fallen so low that they are willing
20 sacrifice their constitutional rights sad
the honor OF their State, for any temporary
advantage whatever; Admiral Semmes. for
one, will never consent to such d sacrifice.
Armed authority may trampe his body into
the duet, but he has never yet parted with
his honor, and be never will. In the atti-
tude which his case has assumed before the
public, he regards himself as an humble rep
resentstiye Of the honor and dignity Of his
State, and that State shall not be outraged
and dishonored through him. He will not
become the willing instrument Of her debase-
ment. II he is kept out Of mis- Office by mill
tary force, IN time Of peace, the remedy does
not rest With him, unless he would dishonor
himself Let those eloquent appeals which
the Tribune has addressed 90 him be address
ed TO the President Of the United States"
The pirate Of the Alabama never parted
with his houor" This man who escaped to
an English vessel after lowering his Aas in
surrender--who burnt deiencoless merchant
vessels and plunderod the women and chill
dren who fell iato mis- hands, wantonly de-
stroying female ,rinkets and keepsakes, talks
Of never yielding his honor-the honor Of a
highwayman Could anything be more IL
dculous; His claim to represent the " hon
or and dignity" Of Alabama recalls the wit
ticism Of a Massachusetts sheriff, who. on
being threatened with shaking up, reioined,
" Remember. who shakes me, shakes the
Commonwealth /" II fSemmes represents the
honor and dignity" of Alabama, SIZE has

GAVE IT UP.-Henry Clay Dean, who was
at one time Chaplain in Congress, had very
strong objections to the custom of the mem
bers Of his congregation OF looking around
when any one entered the Church.
Being worried one afternoon by this turn
ing practice in his congregation, Mr.. Dean
stopped in his sermon and said
" Now listen to me, and I'll tell you who
the people are as they come in"
He then went on with his discourse, until
gentleman entered, when he bawled out like
an usher
deacon A., who keeps a shop over
the way" and then went on with his sermon.
Presently another passed up the aisle, and
he gave his name, residence and occupation ;
ahd 80 he continued for some time.
At length some Que entered the door who
was unknown to Mr.. Dean, when he cried
out,
"A little old man, with drab coat and
an old white hat Don't know him. Look

The CALIFORNIA UNION PARTY,-Owing
to the fact that the name of " Republican " is
not used at present in California, that party
in 1862 having united with the Northern 10y
al Democrats and formed a Union party
Union in a double sense--the high sounding
dispatches of the Associated Press are well
calculated to deceive the public at the East.
The " National Union State Central Commit
tee" notice of whose address was tele-
graphed yesterday, is bogue affair. 1t rep
resents, if it represents anybody, which is
doubtful, as there is no record of any such
body being regularly constituted, the copper
heads of that State, two-thirds of whom are
Southeruers. There may be score Of rene
gade Republicans also with them. The genu-
inc Union party of California to-day is as
radical as the Republicans of Massachusetts.
They carried the State for Lincoln by over
twenty thousand majority.

the FlSANoIAL EFFECT OF THE PREsI-
DENTS PoLIoY.--In reply to question as
10 what effect the success Of the Presidents
policy would hsve upon our National Securi-
rites, the Hon. Thaddeus Stevens has writ
ten the following important letter:
john Ginger, Esq.-DEAR sIR:-In an-
swer to your inquiry, What effect the sue
cess Of the Presidents views will have on
the National Securities :? l am of the opin-
ion that its effect would be very injurious.
he President contends that the body OF
men acting as Congress mas no constitutions
al powers, and can do no valid act 10 the alb
seuce of The excluded States. The Congresses
that authorized the war debt, aud laid the
Internal duties to pay it, were composed
Of precisely the same number Of representa-
lives, from the same States, as the present.
e il SHOULD be decided that those Congresses
had no Constitutional existence, then the s.
20s, l0.40s, 1905, and the legal tender
greeubacks will have been issued without
authority, and will be worthless.
Whether they would ever be redeemed
would depend on what the President would
consider a Constitutional Congress, after the
admission of tne rebel representatives, when
the condition Of the debts OF both beligerents
would be considered.
