From the Atlantic Mordhly. The Two Armies. As Life’s unending column pours, Two marshnlled hosts are seen,— Two armies on the trampled shores That Death flows back between. One marches to the drum-boat’s roll, The wide-mouthed clarion’s bray, And bears upona crimson scroll, “ Our glory is to slay.” One moves in silence by the stream, With sad, yet watchful eyes, Calm as the patient planet’s gleam That walks the clouded skies. Along its front no sabers shine, No blood-red pennons wave ; Its banner bears the single line, “ Our duty is to save.” For those no death bed’s lingering shade ; At Honor’s trumpet call, With knitted brow and listed blade In Glory’s arms they fall. For these no clashing falchions bright,— No stirring battle-cry ; The bloodless stabber calls by night,— Each answers, “ Here am I 1” For those the sculptor s laurelled bust, The builder’s marble piles, The anthems pealing o’er their dust Through long cathedral aisles. For these the blossom-sprlnkled turf That floods the lonely graves, When Spring rolls in her sea-green surf In flowery-foaming waves. Two paths lead upward from below, And angels wait above, Who count each burning life-drops flow, Each falling tear of Love.

Large numbers of these in- sects bad alighted upon the track, literal- ly covering the rails. The train passed over a great number Of them, which made the track so slippery that the wheels turn- ed round without going. Sand was pro cured and poured upon the rails when the train resumed its accustomed motion, and preceded without delay. OW THE LAWYER’S SAINT—Evoua, a law- yer of Brittany, went to Bome to entreat the Pope to give the lawyers a patron saint. The Pope replied that he knew of no saint not already disposed of to some profession. His holiness, however, pro- posed that he should go round the church of Giovanni di Laterana blindfolded, and after saying a number of Ave Marius, the first he should lay hold of should be his patron. This the good old lawyer undertook; and at the end of his Ave Marius, stopped at the altar of St. Mi- chael, where he laid hold of, not the saint, but, unfortunately, the devil under the saint’s feet, crying out, “This is our saint, let him be our patron.” : TELEGRAPH DOINGB. The incidents attending the landing of the cable at Trinity-Bay are perhaps fa- miliar to most persons, but the St. Johns’ papers and the reporter for the Herald give further-details that are of some in- terest. The Niagara came to anchor on the morning of the 4th, at about two o’clock. Is was, Of course, still dark, but the out- lines of the frowuing hills of the land-lock— ed bay were. distinctly. visible. As the anchor dropped, it was announced that according to the signals made, the Aga- memnon was in or close by Valeutia Bay. This added to the enthusiasm already felt and there was no thought of sleep. The men who for six days and nights had watched the cable with. hardly an inter- mission of rest, were still on the alert.— Capt. Dayman of the Gorgon, who had not slept for five nights, came on board ‘of the N‘gara with Capt. Otter of the Porcupine. The boats were got out and manned. On one Was placed enough of the cable to reach the shore, and to reach the Telegraph House, at the distance of half a mile. Previously to this, Mr. Field had gone ashore, and scrambling up to the House found everybody asleep; The operators having given up all expecta— tion of ever hearing from the cable, had made little or no. preparation. The House or Station, by the way, stands “solitary and - alone” on a hill side—a path having been cut through the woods and bushes. Not a person was found at the landing or in the vicinity. Mr. Field and those connected with him had the matter all to themselves. The boats put off from the Niagara in a line—most of the ofiicers,with the electricians and many of the men being on board. In all, there were met an hundred persons. The boats reached the landing about sunrise. The cable had now been brought to the American shore. The electricians applying their tongues to the end of the cable, announced that the current contino nod perfect. The next thing in order was to transport the end tion to the station. This was compar ely an easy matter. A long procession: was formed, Capls. Hudson, Dayman and Otter be- ing ahead. (be account says that Mr. Field led the way, and the whole crowd fell into line. As the cable was covered with tar, there was at first some demur, but eventually all hands took a fair bold, and the procession moved off. This was, in appearance, no great pageant. There Were no banners flying—no bands of mo- sic—no shouts of triumph from an assem-' bled multitude, but, after all, that proces: sion was a grand affair. It should for- nish a theme for a piece of music to be entitled, “ The Telegraph March.” It was not very easy, it seems, to keep step on the occasion. The pathway along shore was rough and bogg , and the captains not knowing how to navigate on shore, got into all the bad places, the way soon led up an elevation Of two or three hundred feet, and in half an hour the procession reached the Station. The cable’was placed in connection with the instuments, and again it was found that the continuity was perfect. Capt. Hudson took his place on a pile of boards, and the crowd gathered around him, and in simple and most appropriate language, Capt. H. referred to the com- pletion Of the great work in which they had been engaged “That work,” be said “ has been performed, not by us, there has been an Almighty Hand over us, and without Divine assistance thus extended, success was impossible. With this con- viction firmly impressed upon our minds, it becomes our duty to acknowledge our indebtedness "to that overruling Provi- dence who holds the sea in the hollow of his hand. ‘ Not unto us, Oh Lord, not unto us, but to thy name,'be all the glory)” A prayer was then read, and the cable- layers soon after returned to the landing. During the proceedings thus far every- thing had been done cooly and deliberate- ly. There had been no show of enthusi- asm, and little or no conversation had taken place. As the Officers and men gathered at the landing, the 1st Lieu- tenantlof the Niagara called out, "Now men, three cheers I” The Herald reporter says “ the last word had hardly been spo- ken when the demand was responded to with an outburst that came from,the very depths of the heart. Hurrah! hurrah I I Iiurrac I I leach louder and wilder than the last, and as the final cheer burst forth the echoes took it up and repeated it again, till it seemed as if the wilderness around were peopled, and thousands of voices in every valley and on every hill top joined in the glad shout of rejoic- ing I” From the London Times. The Atlantic Telegraph We sincerely congratulate the promo ters of this great enterprise upon the tri- umphant success, by which, after so many delays and disappointments, they have been rewarded. It is difficult so sudden- ly to realize the magnitude of the event which has just taken place, the accom- plishment of this mighty feat comes open as not in the gradual and tentative man- ner in which mostscientific exploits have been performed, but with a rapidity wor- thy of the agent which it employs. The steam engine, the other great discovery of our time, has been perfected little by little, and no one can exactly say when it was that each of the triumphs, which it has successfully achieved became possi- ple. Practice was so far ahead of theory that high scientific authorities argued the strongly against the possibility of results, and were not refuted 6y counter argu- ments, but by the accomplishment of those very results the possibility of which they had denied. With the Atlantic Telegraph it has been just the contrary. Theory had shown the practicibility of this line, but practice lagged infinitely be- hind it. Instead ofproceeding by slow degrees, the‘projectors have leaped at once to a. gigantic success. We believe we are correct in stating that 500 miles of telegraph have never before been suc- cessfully laid under water, and yesterday that a communication had been estab~ lished beneath 2,000 miles of stormy ocean, under a superi‘ncumbent mass of water, the depth of which may be calcu- lated in miles Only now, when it has succeeded, are we fully to realize the magnitude and the hardibood of the en- terprise: Over' what jagged mountain ranges, is that slender thread folded, in what deep oceanic valley does it rest, when the flash which carries the thought from man to man from one continent to another darts along the wire, through what strange and unknown regions, among things so uncouth and wild, must it thread its way. It brings us up ti- dings from the vast abyss, but not of the abyss itself, but of men like ourselves who dWell beyond. Since the discovery of Columbus notlr ing has been done in any degree compar- able to the vast enlargement which has thus been given to the sphere of human activity. ,.We may, now that this most difficult problem of all has been solved. be justified in anticipating that there is no portion of the earth’s surface which may not be placed in immediate commu- nication with us. We know that we have in our hands the means of a practical ubiquity. Distance asa ground of no- certainty will he eliminated from the cal- culations of the statesmen and merchant. It is no violent presumption to suppose that within a very short period we shall be able to present to our readers every morning intelligence of what happened the day before in every quarter of the globe. The admiralty will know to with- in a few miles the position'of every ship in her Majesty’s service. The intelligence of a Caffre war or an Indian mutiny will reach us before the first blood that is shed is cold, and we shall be able to economize the time consumed by the ordinary ve- bitles of intelligence. We see with not unnatural satisfaction that the advantage of the discouery will be the greatest to those countries the possessions of which are the most remote, and therefore that England has more to gain than any of her rivals. More was done yesterday for too consolidation of our empire than the wisdom of our statesmen, the liberality of our Legislature, or the loyalty of our col- onists could ever have effected. Distance between Canada and England is annihil- ated. For the purpose'of mutual com- munication and of good understanding the Atlantic is dried up, and we become in reality as well as in wish one country. Nor can any one regard with indifference the position in which the Atlantic Tele- graph has placed as in regard to the American Republic. It has half ,undoue the Declaration of 1776, and gone for to make us once again, in Spite of ourselves one people. To the ties of a common blqod, language and religion, to the le- gitimate association in business and a complete sympathy on so many subjects, is now added the faculty of instantane ous communication, which must give to all these tendencies to unity an Intensi- ty which they never before could pos- sess. We are happy that it has fallen to the lot Of this country tocarry out an enterprise in which human nature is so deeply inter- ested in concert with the only other na- tion on the globe in which the flame of science is fanned and kept alive by the breath of freedom. Let those who are assembled at Cberbourg to celebrate an- other development in the art of destruc- tion, and to fete the inauguration of a fortress avowedly designed to threaten the independence and prosperity of these Islands, reflect on the true nature of the enterprize which has thus been executed, and turn from the contemplation Of science degraded' to the handmaid of slaughter and devastation to science ap- plied to her legitimate office as the con- ciliator, the benefactress, and the enlight- ener of the whole bumgn race. A mili- tary monarchy has created Cherbourg ; political freedom and commercial enter- prize have made the Atlantic Telegraph, and they have nothing to blush for in the comparison. I THE TERMINUS or THE ATLANTIC CABLE AND SURROUNDING SCENERY.-—All who have visited Trinity Bay, Newfoundland, with one consent allow it to be one of the most beautiful sheets of water they ever set eyes upon. Its color is very peculiar —-—an incxpressible mingling of the pure blue ocean with "the deep evergreen wood- lands, and the serene blue sky. Its ex- treme length is about eighty miles, its breadth about thirty miles, opening bold- ly into the Atlantic on the northern side of the island. At its southwestern shore it branches into the Bay of Bull’s Arm, which is a quiet, safe and beautiful har- bor about two miles in breadth, and nine or ten in length, running in a direction northwcst. , The depth of water is sufiicient for the largest vessels. The tide rises 7 or 8 feet, and the bay terminates in a beautiful sand beach. The shore is clothed with dark green fir trees, which mixed with birch and mountain ash presents a pleas- ing contrast. The land rises gradually from the water all around, so as to of- ford one of the most convenient and agree- able towu sites in the island. You ascend only about a quarter of a mile from the water, and there are no longer trees but wild grass, like an open prairie. Here are found at this season myriads of the upload cranberries, upon which unnmber- ed ptarmigan or the nbrthern partridge feed. The raspberry, bakeapple berry, and the whortleberry are also common. Nu- merous little lakes may be seen in the open, elevated ground, from which flow rivulcts affording abundance of fine trout. After ascending for about a mile and a half, you are then probably 300 or 400 feet above the tide, and nothing can exceed the beauty of the scene when, at one view, you behold the placid w Iters of both Trinity and Placentia Bays—tho latter sprinkled with clusters of verdant islands. You can now descend westward as gradually as you came up from the tele- graph landing, to the shore of Placentia Bay, where there is an excellent harbor and admirable fisheries,skirtiug the shore, and the accompanying road of the land telegraph line leading from St. Johns west- ward through the island, to Cape Ray.— At this season of the year game is very abundant——reindeer in great numbers, bears, wolves, dzc. ; others very numer- ous, are the large northern hare, foxes, wild geese, ducks, &c. ' About 4 miles southward of the en- trance of the Bay of Bull’s Arm on the shore of Placentia Bay, is situated the ex- traordinary La Manche' lead mine, the ready yielding a rich supply of remarka- ble pure galeoa. The place where the property of the telegraph company, 111- $ cable is landed is memorable in the histo- ry of the island as the naval battle ground between the French and English in their early struggle for the exclusive occupan- cy of the valuable fisheries along the coast. From the Times, (0in Article.) Financial Position of the Telegraph Com- pany. The Atlantic Telegraph shares of £1,000 each, which were ofi'ered yester- day at £340, immediately advanced this morning, on the receipt of the telegram of success to a nominal quotation of £600 to £800. Later in the day it was found that holders were extremely firm and the final price was £880 to £920.— The first through message from New York is now awaited with intense inter~ est, and most persons connected with the American trade are sanguine that it will give a permanent impulse to the commer- cial intercourse of the two countries, and the economy it will also effect by frequent- ly preventing the profitless shipment of goods and specie. As the Niagara is announced to be in Trinity Bay, New- foundland, the connexion with New York will most likely be established with great dispatch. The land telegraph through Newfoundland runs from St. John’s skir- ting Trinity Bay, to Cape Bay, on the other side of the Island, thence there is a cable to Asbpee Bay, Breton Island, which connects with the lines through Nova Scotia and New Brunswick and the United States system down to New Or- leans. The working of the land line of about 250 miles across New Foundland, has not hitherto been quite satisfactory. but it answers ordinary purposes, and there is an intention ultimately to avoid it by running a submarine cable from Placentia Bay to Cape Breton. The financial and general position of the Atlantic Telegraph Company now appears to be as follows :—-Their origi- nal paid up capital was £350,000 and this has since been increased to £426,000 an additional £31,000 having been raised a short time back, and £75,000 in shares having been created to be handed over in payment for the exclusive privilege as- signcd to the Company immediately on the successful completion of the underta- king. Although the amonnt to partici- pate in dividend is £456,000, the cap- ital actually received is £381,000 and out of this the charge for the entire cable has been paid, together with all other expenses, and a small cash balance is still on hand applicable to the current outlay. It is understood that the only additional capital now intended to be raised is the small sum that will bring the total to £500,000, and which is required for the stations, &c., that remain to be established. The colonial concessions to the company give them an exclusive right for fifty years as regards the coast of Newfoundland, and the shores of Labra- dor and Prince Edward Island. and twen- ty-five years as regards Breton Island.— They have also a similar privilege for twenty-five years from the State ofMainc. From the respective Governments of Great Briton and the United States the terms obtained are a payment Of £14,000 per annum from each for the transmission of their messages for 50 years, until the div- idends amount to 6 per cent. on the orig- inal capital of £350,000, after which each Government is to pay £10,000 a year, such payment to be dependent on the elli- cient working Of the line. Previously to the failure of the first expedition, which sailed on the 4th of August, 1857, and lost 383 miles of cable, the £1,000 shares touched about £1,150 or £1,200, and the lowest point has been £300, a sale being made at that price since the at- tempt last J one, were there was an addi- tional loss Of 480 miles.

The Albany Journal thus sketches the principal features of this new invention : “ The Hughes instrument is a combina- tion of the House and Morse inventions In the Morse instrument, t'wo or three pulsations of the electric current are re- quired to indicate one letter. In the House instrument it requires from one to twenty-eight pulsations. In the Hughes instrument it requires but a single pulsa- tion for each letter. The mechanism by which this acCompIish is simple, through the principle upon which it is based is complex. The tape wheels at the respec- tive stations revolve to print the message, and their revolutions are governed by v1- brating springs. These springs cause them to revolve in exactly the same time. There is an acoustic principle involved, via: that two springs which give the same mu- sical tone, while vibrating, vibrates the same number of times per second. The springs are therefore chosen and regula- ted by sound. Tbis instrument, it is evi- dent, economizes both time and electric power. ‘Its exceeding sensitivess to the least perceptible pulsation of the electric- al currents, adapts it especially for long lines and submarine cables. It is ca able of writing forty words per minute, with about one tenth of the battery power of other instruments, and sends messages both ways at once! At least so its in- ventor claims, and it is to be tested on the Atlantic Cable.” ————4~<.>e THE TELEGRAPH SECTIONAL.—-Tbe pro- position for Government aid to the At- lantic Telegraph was introduced in the Senate by Mr. Seward. It was support- ed by him, Douglas and Rusk in earnest speeches. It was opposed on the ground of a lack of constitutional authority, and that the North would get more benefit from it than the South, and that there- fore it was “ sectional.” Providence Journal. c<.>o 3‘ The opposition exhibited by Con- gress to the appropriation for agricultu- ral purposes, has induced the patent office to estimate the advantages arising from this expenditure. The whole amount ap- propriated in twenty years amounts to $267,500. The office has reliable data in proof of the assumption that, without an increase of capital or labor, the farmers of the country are enjoying enhanced pro- fits in their corn crop of over $24,000,000 a. year, and in their wheat crop $20,000,- 000 more ; that the new product of Chi- nese sugar cane will realize a profit of [0 per acre on one million acres this year. This would show a large balance in favor of the agricultural bureau. From the Bufialo Commercial .fldverliser. EUROPEAN CORRESPONDENCE No. VII. THE HOME OF JEANNIE DEANS—HOLYROOD —EDINBURGH——STIRL1NG CASTLE. STIRLING, June 24, 1858. From Melrose a two hours’ ride bro’t us to Edinburgh, where we arrived early in the evening. In the morning we sal- lied out for sight-seeing. Immediately in front of our hotel on Princess-st, is the monument erected by the citizens of Ed- inburgh to Walter Scott, and a truly grand structure it is. It is an open Goth- ic spire, some two hundred feet in height elaborately finished, and containing with- in its lower area, a massive statue of Scott in a sitting posture, with his favor- ite dog Maida at his feet. The monu- ment has been so Often pictured and des- cribed, that it is unnecessary for me to dwell upon it. Coming as we did direct- ly from the sequestered and unostenta— tious burial place of Scotti with its plain tomb-stone, this magnificent monument afforded a most striking contrast. The views from its several galleries are ex- ceedingly beautiful, and the grounds around it finely laid out and kept in ex- cellent order. We then rode around the city, its pe- culiar and striking character being, from the numerous views published of it, quite familiar. The drive around Salisbury Crags and Arthur’s Seat, called the Queen’s Drive, is a beautiful road. The morning being fine, we left the carriage and went to the top of Arthur’s Seat, From this elevated spot we had a most splendid view of Edinburgh and the sur- rounding country for full twenty miles.— Below was the city of Edinburgh spread before us like a map, the streets and buil- dings being quitc distinct. At the right and near by was Salisbury Crag, a bold steep clifi', somewhat resembling East Rock at. New Haven. The sight of Da- vie Dean’s cottage, the place where poor Efiie held her trysting with Robertson, the ruins of St. Anthony’s Chapel, where the interview between Jeannie Deans and Robertson took place, were all pointed out to us, and answered perfectly the des- cription in the Heart of Mid Lothian.— Seaward, we had a fine view of Leith, the harbor of Edinburgh. Porto BeIIO, a fashionable watering place ; farther on was Preston Pans, famous for the victory of Charles Edward and the death of Col. Gardner; beyond this was the Mussel- burgh sands, and in the distance the fa- mous Bass Rock, in the German Ocean. In another direction we had Craigmiller Castle where Queen Mary resided after her return from France, Carberry Hill, where she was abandoned by Bothwell, and in the background, the Hills of Lam- mermuir. In another we had the long range of the Pentland Hills, and in the distance, the dim outline of the Grampi— an Hills and the blue peaks of the High- lands. Altogether the view from Ar- thur’s Seat was, on that clear morning, most grand and magnificent. Holyrood Palace was our next point, but we unfor- tunately found it occupied by military and I'I'eemnsons, who were to have a grand celebration in the city, and the palace was granted them for the clay. The pal- ace is not impressive in its appearance, being situated on low ground, but it is hallowed by associations with the beauti< ful Queen Mary Here she enjoyed all the pleasure she ever had as a Queen, and suffered her greatest misfortunes.— The rooms occupied by her, remain in nearly the same position, but the palace having become a sort of favorite 3 with Queen Victoria, has been greatly im- proved, especially in the surrounding grounds. , We entered the city again by the Can- ongate, through which famous street the ride was very interesting. It was once the residence of the aristocracy, but is now occupied by swarms of poor people, who fill the tall building to the top, fre- quently seven and eight stories high.— Being a gala day, the whole population were out, filling the streets and Windows with men, women and children. As we rose the bill, the appearance of the population improved. We passed the old Tolbootb, now used for city offices, and near by was the house of John Knox the great Scottish reformer, a most an- cient and venerable looking building. Old St. Gile’s Church is a fine building in ex- cellent condition, and near this are the old Parliament Houses which must have been splendid in their day, and are now used for public Offices. We proceeded to the Castle, which we found full Of country peeple, drawn here by the great celebration. With much difficulty we made our way to the room where the an~ cient regalia is shown by artificial light, and really it was superb. The rooms of Queen Mary are in the same building, and in a small room adjoining she gave birth to James VI, her only son, after. wards the successor to his mother’s mur- deress, the vindictive Queen Elizabeth of England. ‘ The celebrated old cannon Mons Meg is on the highest point of the castle, and is a great pet with the Edinburgh people. The castle is built on a high rock, the peaks of which are still its highest points but the numerous pictures of it are so common, that description is unnecessary. We rode quite through the new town, and found it almost literally a city dfpal- aces. Whole streets are built after one Ian, and the whole seems to have been built about the same time, so uniform are they in style and appearance. Donald- son Hospital is a splendid building, and the old Hospital, built and endowed by the goldsmith of James VI, George Her- riot, is a noble monument of individual forethought and liberality. The crowd in the streets to see the cel- ebration was so great, that we were ob- liged to give up further riding. I never saw so many free masons together, nor so general an interest taken in masonic mat- ters. There were said to be four thou- sand In the procession, officcrcd by the highest nobility in the land. Holyrood Palace was given up to them, the milita- ry were out in full force, and a grand su- lute was fired from the castle. This last from the immense height of the castle was truly grand. Towards evening we walked to the Cal- ton Hill, another high eminence overlook- ing the city. On this bill is the Nelson monument, decidedly in the worst taste of anything we have yet seen in this coun- , try. It looks like a telegraph station, cameras, &c, &c. and appears to be a mere show-housefly The beginning of ' the Natiéual,M0llfl‘-. ment is there also, in the shapeOfisomo dozen marble columns, bnt'iv‘ilf iiéirfei‘bc' finished.
