A New Subm rine TELEGRAPH.
From the New York Tribune, A,

FROM inc new 1ofk tribune, Aug. 3Oth
This new and gigantic enterprise has
been started, and is in the incipiency OF
its progress, under the title of The Amer
lean Atlantic Cable company" which has
already been incorporated under the act
passed April II, 1848. for the incorporation
and regulation of telegraph companies.
The shares are placed at 500, 100000 Of
which forms the capital stock. Four per-
sons may take one share among them at
S25 each. The route selected by the
American Atlantic Cable Telegraph COM
pany" is from the coast Of the United
States-ria Cape Charles, across to the
Island of Bermuda, passing through that
coast the Azore islands commonly known as
the Western isles, and from thence direct to
Lisbon, the capital Of Portugal The cable
will DO laid in three sections, the first and
third of which will be much the same
length, and the second, crossing mid. ocean,
is just double the distance of the third. In
the event of any casualty, no matter how
serious. to either Of the sections, the other
two would, as matter of course, remain
intact, whereas an entire suspension of
any communication would be the result Of
any accident, no matter how trifing, to the
present company's route from Valentia to
Newfoundland. This route was suggested
by Mr.. w. 8. Worl, the president Of the
company. The success Of this cable will
be of great and beneficial service to the
commerce Of both countries, by establish.
ing in the Atlantic ocean two shipping sta !.
tons, one at the island of Bcrmuda and the
other at the Azores, whereat the outward
and homeward-bound masters Of vessels
will be Immediately placed in direct commu-
nication with the owners, in case Of any
exigency arising out of any accident or
other perils Of the sea. The question Of
Keeping these two stations conn ected with
the main land is solved problem, as cables
in other parts of the world are working
much greater distance than that which ex-
lists between New York and Bermuda. or
the Azores and Lisbon. The construction
of this cable will DO Of the most approved
materials and of perfect insulation. The
company have been collecting for the past
two years, all the necessary data and sur
veys, together with charts of tides, cur
rents, winds, soundings, ETC., SO as to enable
them to commence operations at an early
period. They have applied to the congress
OF the United States for grant and other
aid necessary, and have also applied to
Great Britain and Portugal for grants and
the rights Of way. The minister from Port
ugal to this government addressed the fol-
lowing letter to the president Of this com
pany:
"SIR-l will cheerfully apprise his ma
Jesty's government of your project, and do
not hesitate in believing that every reason

A Cairo dispatch to the Chicago Tri,
bune says that a heavy swindle was re-
Gently perpetrated upon some Illinois
cotton traders. An Illinois firm en-
ployed several agents to buy cotton in
Mississippi and Alabama. One of these
agents, calling himself J. w. Payne,
representing himself to be from Hunts
vile, Ala, procured of the Illinoisans
the sum of $4,000, with which to pur-
chase cotton in the neighborhood of
Columbus, Miss, at which place he had
been operating for several months.
Instead of buying cotton, he at once
proceeded 10 Mobile, where he got $50, :
600 more-most of it his own funds
and at once decamped. The parties
swindled offered q reward of $4,000
for the arrest of Payne and recovery OF
the money. he was formerly a Cap
tain in the 10th Alabama, under Lee at
Richmond. 1t is thought that Payne
is a fictitious name, and that his true
name is Maginnis. 1t is probable that
he has gone to Mexico or Brazil, as he
often expressed his determination to
visit those countries.

The Veto of the Freedmen's Bureau
BHII-The Issue between the Presi-
dent and Congress.
The Freedmen Bureau Bill has, al
the hands of President Johnson, met
with the fate which it deserved. He has
with his objections, sent it back to the
Senate-the body in which it origina
ted-he has given it the veto, and q
very broad, strong, comprehensive and
emphatic veto it is. He is opposed tC
the bill, root and branch He objects
TO it on constitutional grounds, and on
grounds of expedIency. He holds that
there is no authority for the measure
no Justice in il to the States directly
concerned, and no necessity for it. He
thinks that no such legislation should
be applied TO the Southern States which
are unrepresented in Congress, and
that in the enormous batch of Office
holders which it authorizes, although
their appointment Is placed IN his
hands. the scheme is Objectionable.
His general arguments and his speci.
hcations against the bill are consistent,
convincing and conclusive. They are
what we expected from the well known
opinions and earnest and decisive char
acter OF the man. In order that there
may. be no mistake as to his position he
defines it thoroughly He enters into
full exposition of his reconstruction
