How a submarine cable becomes use
less, and is repaired, is described in a late
Norfolk letter to the New York Herald
the cable in the case being that between
Fortress Monroe and Cherrystone, on The
eastern coast Of Virginia. The CORES,
pOndent says
The cable, including the covering, is
an inch and q half ia diameter, the con-
ductOr being only fve-sixteenths of an
inch in thickness, and made Of gutta
percha, inclosing even u~ninsulated cop
per wires. Taking 3 steam tug the cable
was grappled for and run over The tug
on rollers. By continued signaling
either way the vicinity Of the leak,
within the breadth Of the tug, was dis
covered. Examining this segment the
break or flaw revealed itself.
Only by the tongue and its extreme
s-ensitiveness to the passage Of the cleo
trio current vas the place Of rupture
found. On examining the outer cover
ing only the slightest puncture, about
the size a pin would make, was discov-
cred in the interior gutta percha coating.
Here, on further investigation, one ofthe
wires was found broken in two, which,
Of course, the wires not being insulated,
destroyed communication. The suppo-
sition is that in making the cable this
wire got very slightly bent, and at
length was broken in two by the passing
electrical current, and probably the cur
rent evoked by a thunder storm which is
stronger than usual. 1t will be remem-
bered that we bad not long ago that rare
phenomenon OF mid-winter, a thunder
storm. 1t was at this time the cable
gave out. The work OF repairing the
cable was easy and expeditions.

There are pow siKty-one children in
the Nathez orphan asylum, the greater
part under twelve years of age. The
majority Of them have lost their parents
during the war. The matron and assist
ant are said to have rare endowments for
their position, and the regime Of the asy-
lum is maternal and christian. No
death has occurredin the institute during
the year.
The Democrat says there Is a crazy
negro to be seen going gibbering
about the streetsO of Natchez almost every
day. She sometimes commits violent
mischief, and is a great nuisance. She
is fond Of stopping ladies in the streets,
and has g penehant for throwing brick
bats at people as well as smashing win
dow glass.

Our Gum Paper, published at Ponto-
toe, says the north winds, like the northern
politicians, seem resolved to keep US
out in the cold as long a possible. The
~icicles, like our DEVILS nose, are orna-
mented with drops of water.
The jackson Aississippian says the
Iunatic asylum is a browning honor to
the state. Christianity commands Of
civilization respect by directing, under
its dispensation, these manifestations OF
enlightened humanity for, before the
Son Of Man came, amid all the effdl-
gence of governmental structure, seien-
tife attachments and intellectual culture,
no institution OF charity was erected on
earth. The institution, the Mssissip-
plan regrets, is filed beyond capacity.
The Vicksburg Tines gives a glow
ing eulogium on the public reading OF
Sehiler's master piece, by a Mr.. Stetson,
a new sspirant for fame.
The Vicksburg Herald fears if the
supreme court should decide favorably to
the south that congress would imme-
distel z abolish the supreme court, and,
perhaps, hang the judges. He finishes
his article with the rather selfish con-
eIusiou that if they do it will not hurt us !
The Catholics of Jackson, Miss, have
dedicated a new chapel. 1t is a very
handsome building, and supplies the
place of one destroyed by fire during the
war.
The Natchez Courier says the late Sc
we're weather is rapidly changing to a
more spring-like temperature. Fortu-
nateIy no freeze was felt, although very
tender vegetables and flowers showed
the presence of e slight frost. The dan
ger is over, unless the full moon Of March
should bring some radical changes Of the
sky.

WASHINGTON, March u.-Iu Response
TO the resolution to the senate, making
inquiry of the secretary of war as &
what military expeditions are in pro.
gress, or in contemplation, to visit the
Indian territory, the secretary trans.
mitted a communication from Gen.
Grant, enclosing a correspondence with
Lieut. Gen. Sherman, commanding in
the Indian department., and stating
that these dispatches give informa-
ton of all hostilities contemplated
until the Indians by their own
acts make further operations necessary
and that the present operations look
more to preventing further massacre
than to hostile action toward the Indians
on the plains. The dispatches detail the
proposed operations for the protection
and safety of emigrants, and ask for re-
Inducements n the power to issue ra-
tons to the peaceable Indians Of hostile
tribes as a means of bringing the latter
to terms, which authority Is given by

themselves or others, that the great
number Of those communications has
rendered it impossible for him TO read or
answer, or even to open them in person.
The latter duty has, therefore, been as
signed cOnfdentially to others. Aud as
many Of the writers have requested that
their applications should be kept secret,

day caused these letters, amounting to
nearly four thousand, te be burnt in bis
presence, thus relieving their apprehen-
sions and his own responsibility.

The MOrmons are inclined to exagger-
ate their numbers, and set down the
population of Salt Lake City at 25, 900 f;
but the Gentiles, pointing to the census
Of 1860, which gave but 1925 in all
Utah, say there cannot be over $1,000
now in the entire territory. A gentle
man who has Investigated the matter
somewhat fully this season, believes the
true population is about 10000 souls for
the territory, and 10000 or 10000 for the
city. Yet, because an ordinary sized
house, which at the east would scarcely
be occupied by eight or ten people, is
here found to comprise, within its four
walls, from two TO twenty wives, each
surrounded by a large, interesting and
constantly increasing family, it is a
matter of no small difficulty TO estimate
the people by the number Of their DWELL
