a shearing at Shelburne at which prizes

sheep were sheared, whose average weight
of carcass was little more than 20 pounds.
and whose average weight of fleece was 13

imal which weighed 50 pounds; while the
largest fleece weighed 20 pounds and 10

1215 ounces; another, which weighed 81

The Atlantic Gable of 1866 IDjur
ed by AN TcebursS.

I CHARLES E. STEWART, Chairman of the
AngIo-American Telegraph Company,
published letter in the London Times of
Saturday, of which the following is an ex-
tract:
On the 9Th inst. It was reported that on
the 4th,r at $50 P. NJ, large iceburg
grounded off the harbor of Hearts Content,
newfoundland, about = miles north north
west of the northern point, and 200 yards
east of the 1866 cable, in about sixteen
fathoms of water. No danger with the
present wind: On the Sth instant it was
reported that the iceburg had disappeared;
but in passing over the cable of 1856, it
seems, however. that some damage must
have been done, for signals through that
cable became imperfect, and the imperfec-
tions have not ceased. The cable of 1865,
however, is unimpaired, and there is no
reason to doubt that the injury to the cable
of 1866 will be repaired without. delay or
any considerable expense. | need only add
that the capacity of the cable of 1865 ex-
ceeds the requirements of business, great
as it is between this country and America.

At the time of the organization of the first
Union League in Charleston the freedmen
were exceedingly enthusiastic on the sub
ject of educationE Not only were the daY
schools crowded withehildren, but at night
the white-headed octogenarians sat side by
side with young men and women in prima-
ry classes. The desire Of the freedmen of
all ages was to learn to read and write, in
order to enable them to become voters-an
object which was, kept constantly. before
them with the most excellent effect. In
an evil hour it was proposed to organize a
Loyal League, and charter was obtained
from Philadelphia. The men flocked to its
meetings by hundreds. One after another
conncil was formed and the schools were soon
deserted. An unprincipled Northern man,
a common scavenger, became, partly by the
gross ignorance of the negroes, and partly
by his own INSCRIPTIONS perversions of
parliamentary law, the secret dictator of
the leagues. Forms and ceremonies were
endlessly multiplied, until at last every
evening was wasted in ridiculous paro-
dies Of PARLIAMENTARY and Masonic forms.
The worst passions of the freedmen were
appealed to and their truest friends de-
nounced, in order, as it soon proved, that,
by controlling the colored sentiment, the
leader might command the influence and
secure the trade Of the white politicians of
the State. And yet this ruling spirit of the
leagues was man so entirely uneducated
that he could not have been elected in the
lowest office of, New England town.

We learn that Miss Catharine Hatton,
of Caroline county, Virginia, has lately
made the startling discovery that she is the
rightful heir of property to the amount of
about one million of dollars in the upper
part of this city. The lady claims that she
is the direct and only living libeal descend
ant and sole heir of George and Anne E..

one hundred acres of land in No. % of Illi-
nois grant, from Andrew P. Hay, David w.

Cole and Alexander Mars, who were ap-
pointed by the General Assembly of the
State of Virginia. as commissioners, to ap-
portion and deed the lands granted to the
Illinois regiment. This patent was issued
to George and Anne E. Hatton, as the sole
heirs of Christopher Hatton, who was SOL
dier under General George Rogers Clark in
the famous expedition, in what was known
as the Illinois regiment r.1t
The suit which will decide her claim is
for lot No. 81 Upper Oak street. the prop
erty of VIM. S. Culbertson, and In the event
of her success in this case she will, it is
said, commence suit for the whole estate.
The case is docketed for the eleventh day
of the present term of the Floyd Circuit
Court. 1t is creating quite a sensation in
real estate circles. Her claim embraces one

Civil Rights.

. aa--Na y
IFrom the New York Times, (Rep.N 49,
The, Civil Rights bill is giving rise to
many eccentricities; not to say BIS 1rdities,
in the vast region subject to military rule.
Under the orders of the commanding Gem
erals, ihOrse-railroad companies are COM
PEELED to carry negroes in every car they en-
ter, regardless of any regulations which the
companies may have enacted for the guild
ance of the own suborllinates.S That is to
say, the military edict has gone forth that
the companies shall no longer manage their
own business in their own way. At Nor-
folk. again, the captain of; "a ferry boat
has been arrested on the Mayors warrant
for excluding a colored woman fro N the
white women's cabin. Public opinion at the
North will undoubtedly say that the exclu-
sf9eness born Of the old system of Slavery,
which this Captain would perpetuate, must
die bWitite Slavery itsel But the query
arises,lIs this Interference with the details
Of Steamboat or horse-car management es-
septial to the yindication of the principle of
equality irrespective OF color, which the
Civil Rights Act is intended TO establish
If q General may set aside the regulations
Of railroad companies, and Mayor the
regulations Of steamboats,, what is to hinder

pretense of carrying out the Civil Rights
