Supreme Jadgeship.
Hon. f II. Williams has received his
commission as Supreme Judge, under the
appointment Of Gov. Merrill caused by
tn. failure of Judge Dillon to qualify.
and on Wednesday telegraphed to the
governor that he should accept the ap-
pointment and qualify at once.
When the appointment was first an
nounced, it was feared that owing to his
extensive private interests, Judge Will
liams would decline it, Indeed, it was
well known that he had not sought the
position, and even when learning that
Gov. Merrill contemplated making the
appointment, he authorized friend to
say to the governor that it was not de-
sired by him. Gov. Merrill was satisfied
from the hearty approval of all whom he
consulted that the appointment of Judge
Williams would be the best that could be
made, and therefore he disregarded the
protest of Judge Williams in the case.
As the appointment was to be made
from the republican ranks, we heartily
endorse the judgment of the governor
that the appointment of Judge Williams
to the supreme bench was the best that he
could make. Judge Williams is q fnish>
ed scholar, thorough lawyer and a gen.
tleman universally esteemed and respect
ed. The Judiciary of Iowa gains largely
in his promotion to the supreme bench. -

Omaha, one of the cities born of the
Pacific railroad, and which for time
increased in population and business
at rapid rate, has already suffered
relapse. Business there, according to
a local paper, is unusually dull-sO
much so, in fact, that the City Council
is Offering bonuses to manufacturers to
establish themselves in the place.
AS result of the wretched state of

The Honorable Thomas Ewing, in
a letter on the Mississippi river, de-
velops an interesting theory of the
tendency of rivers running southwark

attributes it to the constantly increas-

forces this explanation by pointing
to the fact that ships sailing south

TEE BARREN Rocks YIELD BRBAD!-
Yes, the rugged cliffs of the ocean strand
produce something that, if not bread, is
more nourishing and fattening than the
staff of life itself. The Sea Moss which
carpets the rocks on the shores of Ireland,
Iceland and the coasts of Northern
Europe, is as truly a food sta
pie, when properly prepared, as
wheat, rye, or Indian corn. The Irish
variety, locally known as Carrageen, is
now manufactured under e patent, into
one of the NEST nutritious, pslatable, di-
gestible, and delicious elements of susten-
ance the world has ever seen. The article
has been patented under the name of SEA
Moss FARIHE, and the extensive mills of
the Sea Moss Farine Company, New York,
are now turning out immense quantities
of this economic luxury which has already
taken a prominent place among the COM
modities of the American produce mar
ket. Its price is almost nominal; and the
puddings, custards, Jellies, creams, blanc
mango, and other light table luxuries
prepared from 1t are superior in flavor las
well as in eheapness) to those made from
corn starch, maizens, ravelsnta, or any of
the other gelatinous extracts of grain.

A GREAT battle was fought on Sat
urday on the banks Of the Saar, in
which the French under Marshall
Mcmahon have been defeated and
forced to retreat. The Prussians so
victorious were under the command
of Marshall Niederborn. Is is impos-
sible to eliminate from the mass
of telegraph. dispatches that
have reached us anything
like connected narrative, or
even reasonable description Of the
fight. All that we know, in brief is
thai after a bloody day the French are
in full retreat, leaving four thou
sand prisoners and much "plun-
der" in the hands Of the Prus-
SLAMS, who, judging by this move
ment, are determined to push their
campaign upon a plan which informs
us that advancing from the Rhine
which has been crossed at Cologne,
Coblentz and Mayence-the move
ment of the three corps will be
coneentric upon the French capital.
Napoleon himself announces the de-
feat, and no doubt his nerve so severe
" challenged has ere this recovered
its tone, and with his gallant generals
he is preparing to confront a foe that
is untiring and pouring on in an al
most resistless tide. To-day will per-
haps bring Us news Of a renewal of the
battle, as the last news places the con-
testants in sight. We have no side 10
take in this unhappy eontest-unfortu-
nate in any aspect-as it comes upon
Europe in the midst of unexampled
prosperity and a material progress
only serpassed by that of our own
young States. We only hope for its
speedy end, in the interest of a COM
mon civilization.

A most significant commentary up
on all that has been given out recent
ly by the Spanish authorities at EIa-
Vana, comes from Madrid, in the an
nouncement that Captain General De
rodas has made requisitiOn for rein
forcements to the amount of fourteen
thousand men. From forty to sixty
thousand men had previously been
sent to the Island of Cuba, according
to the information submitted by the
Committee on Foreign Relations to
our House Of Representatives. Since
then there have been repeated stale
ments, to the effect that nothing was
left of the Insurgents but few hum
dreds of guerillas, scattered about
among the hills. Now, the question
arises, does it require an additional
force of fourteen thousand men 70
finish up the work in suppressipg
these Insignificant bands Of guerilia5,
or has the powerful Spanish army,
sent to Cuba, been so terribly
reduced by casualties as to need these
fourteen thousand to fill up their va-
cant ranks; or going to the main
question, are we not to understand
that the stories about the insurrectiOn
having died out were false? Which

and the train was taken up in a very
short space, but the car that was off
the track went over the bank. The
accident wac caused by the sudden
breaking of a wheel. The killed will

The West India Telegraph Cable.

KINGSTON. IA, July 9.-The tele-
graph fleet has at last sailed from
here, conveyed by her Majesty's
steamship "NestaI," United states
steamship "Yantic," and a Spanish
gunbOat. As regards the length of
time required for the submarine pOr-
ton of this work, this cable is only
exceeded by the British, Indian and
French Atlantic cables; but as regards
the difficulties attending the compile
ton of the enterprise, it is probably,
without any exception, the most dif-
ficult ever attempted. The mere fact
that about thirty-six shore ends will
be required is sufficient proof of the
amount of trouble to- be anticipated.
The entire contract embraces about
3l53 nautical miles of submarine cable
and $50 miles of land line, and the
whole system, when completed, will
connect Cuba with Jamaica and Pa
mama, and with the major portion of
the West India Islands.
The first portion of the work con-
meets Havana with the port Of Bata-
bano by land line; from thence a
submarine cable will be laid to Glen
fuegos, and from thence to Santiago
de Cuba. From this important place
cable will be laid to Morant Point,
in Jamaica; from MOrant Point two
cables will be laid-one, the longest
section of all, to Aspinwall, n. G. +;
the second will be to Porto Rico, and
from thence to the South American
coast, touching at the principal
islands. The following list gives the
different sections:
Batabano to CienfuegOs, Cienfuegos
to Santiago de Cuba, Santiago de Gu
| ba to Morant Point, Morant Point to
Aspinwall, MOrant Point to Porto
Rico, Porto Rico to st. Thomas, st.

/ Unique, Martinique TO st. Lucia, St
Lucia to St. Vincent, st. Vincent tc
/ Barbados, st. Vincent to Grenada
Grenada to Trinidad, Trinidad to Cape
| Nassau.
The steamship "Dacia" and five
other vessels are employed in the
work. The "Dacia" has been fitted
up as the vessel from which all the
work will be done, the other vessels
being simply employed as carriers
Her machinery is of the strongest and
most massive form possible to con.
ceive, and the picking up machinery
is very strong, and probably heavier
/ than that used on the "Great East
ern" for the Atlantic cable; the drum
is overhanging, driven by internal
gearing. The steamer "SufFolk" will
lay the shore ends, and has been fitted
up for that purpose.
The cable for the work is divided
into deep sea cable, 1855 nautical
miles; intermediate. 100 miles, and
shore ends, 6S miles. Total, 3,l5;
nautical miles.
