SABBATH SCHOOL FEsrtvAL.-Two of the
Sabbath Schools OF the city held their
Christmas festival, last night. We had the
pleasure OF attending that of the st. Paul's
and Mission Sunday Schools The usual
religious exercises were had in the church,
consisting of singing, catechitical instruc-
ton, &c, after which the schools were con-
Quoted to Masonic Hail. which had been
handsomely fitted upf for the occasion, and
where many rare delicacies had been pre-
| glad the hearts or the children. The affair
was an exceedingly brilliant and pleasant
one, especially to those within the inner
court. The music at the church was de-
cidedly excellent We also dropped in for
few moments to witness che Festival of
r sTRINIrY SABBATH SCHOOL, 40 \
Where we founa the Pastor, Rev. @. ".
Sims, assisted by sundry others, pluclxing
| highly attractive fruit from the two beau
tiful Christmas trees, and calling out the
names Of the various favorites OF Kris
Kringle. There was a large attendance,
and we are told there had been some re-
markedly fine music.i "a solo by Mr.. Fred.
Bennett, now entitled to the proud dis
tinction of Father Bennett we heard
warmly eulogized. We had expected a
more elaborate report from the senior
editor. and hence are not prepared to go
into full details. 1t was, however, q very
pleasant and interesting affair.
The usual Christmas services commence
ed this morning at 4 o'clock, at the Catho-
lie Churches of the city. The attendance
was large, and the services highly impos-
ing and impressive. .-,-,.., ...4.-..f,,
The Sunday School Festival of the Old

The third attempt was made with the same
vessels in 1868. The ends of the cable were
joined in mid-oeean on the 29th of July, and
on the 9Th of August the two ships arrived
simultaneously at their respective destina-
tons.
This was the partially successful effort which
is identified with the name of De Sauty.
Certain defects in the paying -out machinery,
and the more serious faults in the construc-
ton Of the cable itself were avoided the next
time, and on the 21st Of July 1865, the Great
Eastern left yalentia Bay with another tele-
graphic cable. An accident to the machinery
caused the loss of the cable when the voyage
was more than half over they grappled it
three times, in two and half miles Of water,
but had no rope strong enough to lift it on
board, and the enterprise was then abandoned
for the year.
The first undertaking was but crude affair
in comparison with that of 1866.
| * The cable, in 1858, had breaking strain OF
a little over three tons, or was capable of bear
ing five miles of its own length in water. The
present one will bear strain of eight tons, or
twelve miles Of its own length in water. Then,
a slight defect of insulation was fatal now, so
wonderfully have telegraphio instruments been
improved that it is easy to work through sub
marine cable with a foot Of its copper eonduc-
tors stripped bare to the water.
But in the meantime, another project to
unite the two hemispheres in telegraphic com
munieation is in progress in another direction.
AT the last accounts, the overland Russian tel
egraph was advancing to completion. This
line is to cross to Asia, somewhere in the
vicinity of Behring's Straits and will COM
1nunicate with Eastern Europe through Siberia
When IL is finished, the earth will be girdled
/ by an electric belt, controlled by science, and
obedient to the will Of man.

ADJOURNED.

The so-called United States Congress has
adjourned. It's first session has come, for
tunately, to close, if not to happy end. 1t
would not be too much to say that the country
will rejoice at the falling of the curtain over
that scene of yindictive imbeeility which has
been enacting in the Capitol for the last eight
months. Unfortunately, however, the relief
which is caused by the adjournment of the So
called Congress is much modified by the an
ticipation of its reassembIing in December.
OF course when it has before it still three
months of existence, it is too early to write its
history. Extraordinary sits acts thus farhave
been, we may yet have to witness proceedings
far more remarkable Whena body assuming to
represent the United States excludes eleven
States from representation when party pre-
tending to be a " Union party labors assidu-
ously for the continued disruption of the
Union when faction which processes to
favor liberty surpasses the despotism of
Russia in yindictive tyranny it is impossi-
BILE to assign limits to its intolerance and
ferocity. Thus far the history of the thirty
ninth Congress has been record of persistent
attacks on constitutional government, on pri-
yate rights and on public liberty Its proceed
ings have been marked by reckless audacity
entirely unparalleled in the annals of this
country. It has usurped the functions of
the Executive it has attempted to crush
the independence Of the Judiciary, and
it has assaulted all the safeguards which
the Constitution throws around the rights Of
the States and of the citizen. The various
measures by which it has demonstrated its
despotical and Eindictive character-the false
ly called civil rights bill, the constitutional
amendment, the freedrnens bureau bill and
Others of like nature-have been from time to
time discussed in these columns. 1t is unne-
oessary to do more than allude to them here.
Unfortunately the country is to suffer from
another session of this corrupt and tyrannical
body; but happily on the Fourth of March
next, we can write it's obituary and its epitaph.
Perhaps, when it finally gives up the ghost,
there may be some to regret its demise and
honor its memory. There are even those who
strewed flowers over the grave of Nero

Hon CUTHBERr BULLIrr's CARD. We refer
our readers to the card of Hon. Cuthbert Bull
lit published in to-day's paper, and the state
ment he makes as to the representation of
Louisiana in the Philadelphia convention.
Mr.. Bullitt, we understand, will make no OPP
position to any other set of delegates ap-
pointed to represent Louisiana, but is willing
to refer the claims of the two delegations, if
there should be any contest, to the convention
itself Our neighbor, the Bee in commenting
upon Mr.. Bullitt's card, uses the following
language, which we take to be fair and cor
rect exposition Of the whole matter
In another column is a statement from the Hon,
Cuthbert Bullitt of his position as an early and,
steadfast friend Of President Johnson and of his
course in reference to the representation of the
National Union Conservatives of Louisiana in the
Philadelphia convention. Those who know this
gentleman have never doubted his desire to har-
monize and unite all the friends of the President
and of the principles in behalf of which the con.
vention is called, His statement is couehed in
language that is sngulary free from recrimina.
ton, and in its calm and dispassionate tone, it
presents an instance which is as rare as exemplary
in publications of a political nature. We trust
thatMr, Bullitt's spirit of Cancellation will be man
ifest in the absence of any unseemly contest for
seats by rival delegations from Louisiana.
