TROUBLE WITH THE FRENCH CABLE.-A
dispatch from Brest dated June 3Oth says:
This morning at 8 o'clock, Greenwich time,
the Great Eastern telegraphed to us, We are
going to cut the cable and buoy it. This has
evidently been done, for no signals have passed
since. A careful watch has been kept for a
renewal of the signals. The first sign of some
thing being wrong in the electrical condition
of the cable occurred early this morning, but
nothing of definite character until the above
message reached us. We had a very long
message at II. 81, Greenwich time, last night,
from the Great Eastern, at which time the sig
nails were reported by Mr., May to be most per-
feet. see no reason for the slightest alarm at
what the Great Eastern is doing. 1t was evi.
dent from the resistance OF the gutta-percha
reported last night that the slight of the 25th
was improving. Mr.. May agrees with me in
thinking that they have buoyed the cable in
shoal water, and are returning to remove the
fault The delay is the only Inconvenience

WE are gratified to learn that Col. Alfred E.
Buck of Mobile has been nominated for Con-
gress by the Republicans and Unionists of the
first district of Alabama. This nomination is
one eminently fit to be made. Col. Buck was
born id Foxcroft, Maine; graduated at Water
vile College with high honors, short time be-
fore the war, and for brief period resided in
Hallowell, where he married. His wife is a
daughter of the Hon. III. X. Baker of that
city. In the autumn of 1861, he entered the
army, and was soon after commissioned cap
tain in the 18th Maine Regiment, with which
organization he was identified for year or
more, and until he was commissioned Lieut..
Col of the---th colored infantry, by Presi-
dent Lincoln. He served as an officer in the
army for period of five years, with great
ability and success. Upon retiring from the
service, he adopted Mobile as his home, and in
the re-establishing of law and order, was elect
ed Clerk of Courts for Mobile County, for the
term Of SIX years, which Office he now fills.-
He was prominent and influential member
of the Reconstruction Convention which met
at Montgomery and formed the present con-
stitution of Alabama. He is young man OF
fine abilities as well as of unfinching integri-
ty, and is just the man to lead on to victory
the friends of reconstructionin his district
