ATLANTIC CABLE.

The Atlantic Gable, says the Cleveland
Herald, has disastrously encountered the
very mishap which alone, perhaps, Of all
others, it is exposed to. By the ground
ing Of a huge iceberg, close in shore at
the very mouth of the karbor at Hearts
Content, at the Newfoundland end Of the
deep sea line, the cable laid last year has
been touched, and probably so much
abraded and crushed that after a day or
two Of imperfect communication the cleo.
tric current will wholly cease. The inju.
~ is capable Of speedy and effectual re.
pair, and, in the meantime, the business
Of the two continents is amply accommo-
dated by the old Gable Of '65, which for.
.'tunately escaped injury.

The Mobile Riot,

Under date Mobile, the 18th, the spe.
cial Of the Cincinnati Enquirer tele-
graphs tho following facts in regard to the
riot Judge Kelley, a Radical disturber Of
the public peace, got up at Mobile on
the night Of Tuesday /:
The riot here on Tuesday night was
unprecedented, and participated in only
by rowdies, negroes and Radicals. KEEL
ley excited the people, got up the fight
and then took a horizontal position be-
hind two buckets.
Four whites were killed, and one ne
gro. Twenty whites we're wounded
Shots were fred from and at the stand.
A meeting Of citizens will DO held to.
morrow to condemn the affair. The Rad
icals are trying hard to make political
capital out Of it.
Kelley left to-day for Montgomery,
with martyrs colors flying.
The travelling reporter with Kelley for
the New York Herald and Cincinnati
Commercial is a Radical, and has delib.
erately misrepresented the facts. He ad-
mitted to me that he hid behind the
stand and saw nothing, but says he can
~substantiate his statements with negro
testimony. The negroes fred about thir-
ty shots and then ran. The whites were
unarmed, and hence the number Of them
killed and wounded.

A boy named Fitzgerald, seventeen
years old, has been arrested in Lexington,
Miss, charged with five murders. The
Lexington miss Advertiser, speaking
of bis arrest, says:
The premises Of his father were sur
rounded, and in q short time he was dis
covered emerging from an open field, en-
deavoring to reach the woods some distance
off. He was hotly chased, and was cap:
tured after having been struck by pistol
ball from one Of tho pursuing party,
which made q slight flesh wound in his
face, and brought him to the ground
He was carried to Noxubo county, the
scene of his last crime. 1t seems young
Fitzgerald killed a negro in Dc Soto

Tennessee /; a freedman on his fathers

his capture on the 18th ult.
