IHE ATLANTIC CADLrs.-It is an.
nouuced that the broken Atautic cables
cannot be repaired for some time, rs the
last attempt to grapple for the cable has
proved unsuccessful. and the rcpnir
steamer has been so much injured that
she cannot return to the work sooner
thnn next June. The only means of
transmitting news until that time will be
the French cable. When tho rennir
steamer has been rcfittcd she will rcturn
to the spot whero the injury occurred.
which IS about sixty.five miles from
Hearts Content, and lay new cable, so
as to clear the rocky ledge which, it is
stated, caused the fracture. Should this
method he found impracticnblc, a heavy
cable will be needed over the dangerous
spot so rs to hold on steadily ald pre-
vent chafing. The maintenance of t.,c.
graphlc communication across tho At
lantlc ls not 80 easy and simple n matter
as was once supposed, and it is, there
lore, suggested that a short ronte for
steamers should be adopted. BY the
latter plan. steamer would run from
vaientia. Ireland, to S.. John, New
ioundiand: Passengers might then be
conveyed by railroad across tie island of
newfoundland to ST. Georges Bay, and
then by steamer to Bay Chaleur. The
distance between Valentia and st. John
is l,60O miles, and swift steamers, it is
Stated, would make the run in four aud
half or five days. For carrying out
this project, the construction of a rail
road across Newfoundland is absolutely
necessary, another railroad from Bay
Ohaleur across the province of New
Brunswick to comment with the Maine
roads must also be built. By this route,
when completed, it is asserted that pas.
eengers and mails can pass from London
to New York in six days.

oRlng to the fact that they are not DON.
neeted with ns by telegraph The latest
news from Uruguay, however; is to the
eHece that civil arris still raging, and
with unabated fury. Gen. Carei,allo
was superseded in December by Gen
Suarez In command of the national
forces. 'Suarez. with an army of about
8,t0O men, advanced about the middle of
Decsmber to the relief of Montevideo.
which was closely invested by the victo.
flpns and over confident rebels, who.
5000 strong, thought the campaign de-
oided in their favor. When Suarez np-
psared, the rebels were compelled to
reiinqnish all tho advantages obtained.
raise the siege, and start of in order to
confront and defeat him if possible.
Ihe two armies met ut Sierra de Minas.
Zen: Suarez endeavored to avoid ge-
neral engagement, on account of dispa-
rlty IN numbers. as the Government was
frying by oil means to reinforce him will,
1niantry and artillery. Suarez received
relnforcemeDts to tho numbcr of ], 600
men, took the offensive, and gave battle
on the river Snnce, on Christmas day,
riepalslng the rebels, capturing some OF
s.0iA a.uieIy Anu remaining IN posses
slon of the field. The Government
forces slaughtered every rebel prisoner
and wounded man left on the field. The
rebel army has since retreated 200 miles,
burning and destroying everything in
their path, having collected and driven
before them every horse, mule and sheep
they could find. Tho Government has.
since the above events, proclaimed am
nesty to all who may present themselves
to the competent authorities within thir
ty days from the 5th. A largo number
OF persons have avniled themselves of
this act of clcmency from the Govern
ment.
