Governor Senter, or Tennessee, has very
insinuating way Of canvassing for votes. He
addresses himself to the better halves Of the
voters. He concluded q speech last week as
follows: f.Ladles, a word before we part
when the day for election arrives, get up early,
prepare good breakfast, have the shaving
water cpd towel ready, let nothing but smiles
and cheerfnlness possess you. and when the
good man starts for the polls, go with him to
the gate, put your arm about his neck, kiss
aim, then ask him to vote for Senter. Again,
I thank you" afIt
The New Orleans Picayune sayslthe ex-
pertinent of shipping slaughtered beef to that
port from Texas has proved q complete sue
cess. lot Of thirty head arrived at New Or
leans on the 10th inst. in the steamer Agnes,
which had been itted up with refrigerating
apparatus Tor the purpose, and came out in
perfect order. looking as if freshly slaughtered,
though killed on the 9Th instant The means
used for preserving the beef is so efectual
that it may be shipped for long distances-to
Northern as we'll as Southern pc rts. Arrange
ments are in progress for sending large guam
titles to Mobile and Havana. Texas abounds in
beef cattle, thousands OF which are slaughtered
for their hides and tallow alone; and IL this
new process proves to be as successful as it
now seems likely to, it will be a great step
toward cheap beef.
Since the rccont accident at Mast Hope,
on the Erie Railroad, the question of the pro-
priety OF using iron cars has come up again
for discussion. Just after the accident Of De-
cember 18th, 1867, at Angola. on the Like
Shore Roa'l. when seventy persons were killed
and forty were wounded, iron freight cars were
experim nted with, but the results were not sat
isfactory. Now, however, q car has been pro.
posed, which, it is stated, will entirely super
sede the wooden cars. The new car 10 com
posed Of wrought iron tubes, combining the
greatest strength with the least weight, eannot
take fire, and will not break into splinters.
Another advantage consists in the greater
amount of merchandise tho iron tube cars will
carry. It is asserted that common box car
built Of wrought IRON would wo.gh less than
six and one-half tons, while wooden cars Of the
same dimensions weigh not less than ten tons.
The wooden cars are allowed to carry ten tons
OF freight; the iron cars, on account Of their
great strength. it 10 believed. could carry thir-
teen and one-half tons. the weight OF car and
freight then beng only twenty tons.
The New York Times states that number
OF wealthy and skilled fnanciers have for some
time past been quietly working up the means
and programme for an American Atlantic
cable, to proceed direct from New York City to
Europe. ais line will be worked with what
are known as ''sounder Instruments is.
the alphabet is indicated by sound instead OF
by the galvanometer reflector system, as now
used on cables, and can be operated three or
four times as rapidly as can possibly be done
by the present system. Two sets OF thess in.
struments were manufactured for this company
sometam since. and have been thoroughly lest
ed both in Europe and America--in Europe
through circuit of 5000 miles Of insulated wire
and with the most perfect success. They are con-
structed upon entirely new principles, and
are so far wholly unknown to the public. It
is confidently expected that the project wilIbe
far advanced toward completion the coming
fall. For prudential reasons the European
terminus Of the American cable is for the pre-
sent withheld; but II is perhaps worth while to
mention that the consideration OF amity, pre-
caent and prospective, OF any foreign govern
ment has entered into the calculation Of the
