WAsnrNo'rON, Nov. 22d, 1862.
DEAR GAZETTEz—Since Monday last the
region of the Potomac has been in the cou-
tinual enjoyment of one, of its chronic atoms,
or “settled” fall rains. As a physical conse-
quence, things are not as “quiet” hereabouts
as they have been wont'to be, and moreover
the current of that geographical carrier has
been very materially disturbed, and while
the rain and mud will . impede the progress
of our army under its new and advancing
leader, the rapid rise of the river will be a
better guard upon the Capital than an army
of 25,000 soldiers. During all the week past,
the very greatest activity has been discernable
in all the departments connected with the
army movements, and'the President, the
Secretary, the GeneraDin-Chief, his subor-
dinate and heads Of the various bureaus of
the War Department, have had frequent
meetings and incessant occupation both day
and night. From all of which it is safe to
argue that something is going to be done.—
Day before yesterday, miles of pontoon bridgss
were loaded and sent down the river, and
almost hourly loaded transports with men
and miterial of war are leaving the 6th St.
wharf for Aquia Creek and Fredericksburg.
The plan for reducing Richmond by Gen.
Burnside is radically different from that ar-
rangement by McClellan, but it meets with
the entire approval of the President, Gen.
Halleck, the Secretary of War, and indeed
nearly every member of the Cabinet; in fact,
it is reported of “Uncle Abs" that he “can
comprehend it, although a cm'lt'an, as the ‘plan’
is on the basis of. ‘common sense’ instead of
‘strategy.’ ” It has been kept a “state secret”
with about as much fidelity as such secrets
are generally kept, until now, nearly every
body hereabouts, and especiall the stash,
seem to have had it leaked out to them, or
have guessed it out. I shall, therefore, be
doing no injury to the cause to give the GA-
ZETTE readers my “guess” as to the pro-
gramme, and I think they will be as success-
ful in comprehending the great movement as
the President is reported to have been. SO
if the reader will take the map of Eastern
Virginia and trace with me the outline of
army movements, they will discern what a
chess game the third great advance upon
Richmond is to be. From the McClellan
line of slow advance, the new Commander
has suddenly, and with real Napoleonicsa-
gacity, turned his army from the enemy’s
front at Warrenton by a flank movement,
and precipitated them down to Fredericks-
burg. Here his base of supplies is by the
Potomac River to the mouth of Acqua Creek,
whence a railroad follows his advance to the
rebel capital. This removes one very seri-
ous difficulty in the pushing forward of sup-
plies to a great army. The rebels discovered
his feint three days after he had made good
his retreat, and at‘last dates had got down to
Gordonsville, the intersecting point of the
Orange and Alexandria with the Virginia
Central Railroad, Some twenty miles, or two
do ye farther from Richmond than the Union
Army. From Fredericksburg, it is “guessed”
that Burnside will hasten down to the “junc-
tion’.’ of the Fredericksburg and Virginia
Central Roads, and there await the rebel re-
treat back to save their capital, and here, it
is presumed, will, within the next fifteen
days, be one of the most decisive battles of
the war. Now leaving Burnside to confront
the rebel hordes at the “junction,” let the
eye run down in a south-west direction to
Gen. Foster’s, Forces now advancing from
the North Carolina border to Weldon, then
trace eastward to Suffolk and our own Gen.
Ferry, with the army of Gen. Peck, can com-
bine forces with the North Carolina army
up at Petersburg, twenty miles south of Rich-
mond and in the rear of any great rebel force.
Then if this flank advance upon Richmond
should be still further strengthened by anoth-
F" General, whom the people delight to hon-
or, (and I guess it will,) from Fortress Mon-
roe via the James River, with Gun Boats,
&c.,,-I ‘guess’the'rebels will find themselves
between the upper and the nether millstone,
and if theydont get ground to powder, still
further ‘guess’ there will be a considerable of
a smashing among confederate crockery, and
I shall end my guess with the conviction that
the people will be able to “see it." Such
very briefly is the generally conceived Burn-
side plan of the campaign, yet a thousand
contingencies are yet possible which may
change it in whole or detail, at all events may
our noble army be sustained by the prayers
, of all loyal men, that God in his infinite wis-
. dom will ordain the victory for the Right,
which is to be attained by such a holocaust
of human life.
Our 17th has got back to near Fairfax
again, as I learn at the City P. 0. this morn-
ing. The 27th is still at Fort Ethan Allen,
at Chain Bridge, but are under marching
orders. The 2nd Conn. Battery is still on
the old Bladensburg Road, east of the Capital,
with a prospect of soon moving forward.
I visited the Armory Hospital yesterday
and found from the 17th from
Nomadic—Lawrence W. Smith, James
Benedict, Jr., Charles W. Lounsbury, Mi-
chael Dougherty, I. J. Gilbert, Augustus Pel-
ham.
New 6bnaan,—Miles 0. Jones, Robert
Bishop, Wm. Wilson.
Rz'dgefield,—P. C. Lounsbury, (the sickest
man of the company and his parents have
just arrived to care for him.)
Brz'dgeporl,—S. I. Burditt, Demand Kirk.
parted—Franklin H. Scofiold, and——
Tilisson from Weston.
These men are all on the mend, and hoping
soon to rejoin their Regiment, except Louns-
bury of Ridgefield and Tilisson of Weston.
Overwork and deficient food are assigned as
the principal causes of so many of this Regi-
ment being in the Hospitals. I hear of two
or three more Norwalk boys at the George
town Hospital and among them Chas. Whit-
ney, but have not had time to visit them.—
There are a few also at the Alexandria Hos-
pital. By far too many are on the~ sick list
in this Regiment and it becomes the officers
to see to the rations, to ventilation and clean-
liness among the men. '
The “ Connecticut Soldiers’ ReliefAssocia-
tion,” is doing a noble work here for our men
and cannot be too heartily seconded by our
good people at home. F. A. ROCKWELL, Esq.
of Ridgefleld, as well as our friend Crofut,
late of the J efi'ersonian, are active, members
Rockwell desires us to urge the citizens of
Connecticut to forward without delay, both
Woollen Goods, (Mittens, Stockings, Under-
shirts, &c.,) and also Hospital Stores, in view
of the great and almost imminent battle
which is impending. He also. suggests the
“Hope Army Express" as the safest and
most economical mode of transportation from
New York City. I append herewith, one of
their circulars for insertion, with the hope
that Connecticut may be moved to some im-
mediate action to succor the sick and imper-
iled sons of her own maternal soil:—
' It is the purpose of this Association to
extend Relief and Comfort to Connecti-
cut’s sick and wounded, who may be in
any of the forty-five hospitals Of Wash-
ington, D. C., and vicinity, and to keep
a record of the name and locality of each
individual ; the time Of his departure from
the hospital, and his destination, and, in
. case of death and burial here, the locality
of the grave. Although the Government
provides for the necessities of the sick sol-
dier, yet it is often necessarily slow in
procuring articles of clothing and others
of pressing necessity, and it cannot pre-
tend to furnish those little luxuries and
comforts which the hand Of affection
would bestow upon its sick and suffering
object. We present .to our friends in
Connecticut, this organization, through
which they can reach the sick bed of the
soldier, and we ask them to place at our
disposal, money, or such articles as may
be deemed necessary or beneficial. Baud-
ages, socks, drawers, shirts, dressing
gowns, slippers, haudkercbiefs, thin pan-
taloous ; also jellies and wines, and any
other delicacies, will be distributed, or
carefully dblivered to the person to whom
they are sent. '
To accomplish these purposes, we have
chosen the usual board of Ofiicers, viz., a
President, Vice President, Secretary,
and Treasurer, and besides a Committee
for the reception and acknowledgement
of donations, and a Committee on Hos-
pital Correspondence.
All packages should be directed (pre-
paid) tO the CONNECTICUT Somfsa’s Rs-
mnr ASSOCIATION and a letter conveying
information of its contents and shipment
should be sent to any one of the Com-
mittee on donations. Inquiries concern-
mg persons who may be in the hospitals,
should be addressed to any member of
the Committee on Hospital Correspond-
once.
The members of the Association, who
will frequently visit every hospital, will
report to the Committee, the information
desired by the friends of each soldier.
The Association now appeals to the
good people Of Connecticut, in behalf of
those whose patriotism led them to forego
the peaceful pleasures of New England
homes, and peril health and even life it-
self, in a great and good cause. This ap-
peal will not be in vain. You who have
given your best sons to the cause Of Your
Country, will not fail to respond to their
sufferings. ..

How IT OntorxArnn.—Somc time since
there was a rumor here that Capt. Fowler
had been out on an expedition in command
of four companies, and captured 30 rebels,
part cavalry. A member of the 17th gives
the following as thefoundala'on of the report.
“One of the men wrote home to his wife, that
they had been out on an expedition-and cap-
tured 30 Rabbits. The wife read 30 Rebels.”
The exploit was of course told, and grew by
travelling into quite a respectable story.

with the Republicans, but was nominated by
both conventions, and Of course elected with-

EDsGAfl'r'rn z—We form part of quite an
army gathered in these several Camps, and
have a population, in number at least, equal
to many a city of note. We have much of
the pomp and circumstance of war, but all
this does not prevent the men looking back
and saying “ This is not Camp Terry,” or
“that was paradise to this mud hole—this
Chiskahominy.” It was bad to leave home
and lie out-doors, and be choused out of
some two or three mouths’, but this mud and
poor rations, and other evils, are worse.
Your readers know of that miserable Sab-
bath morn, the breaking up of the 23d Regi-
ment’s Camp, at New Haven: all the day
drumming, shouting, cursing, marching, ma-
ny a christian soldier was sad-hearted on
their account. On Tuesday, the 28th Reg’t
followed; every arrangement was well and
quickly made. A little after noon we were
all snugly on board the Traveller,—a little
too snug, perhaps. Herebegan our troubles.
The men were piled together, and few, per-
haps slept, such was the noise; before mom-
ing, water for drinking and washing gave
out. One man was taken very ill, and had,
to be sent to his home at Darien, next day.
Arriving at Williamsburgh, Wednesday,
about 7 o’clock, A. M., we found at the dock,
just arrived, the Granite State with the 24th
C. V. The men would not compare with
ours, and the companies were not nearly as
full. Both regiments were kindly received,
provided with breakfast, and cheerfully
marched to the Camp through mud and rain.
That night Officers and men had to be con-
tent to lie down upon mother earth, content
with straw and blankets. So far our trou-
bles have not afi‘ected our health.
.One poor fellow was shot through the
thigh, by a countryman who had taken upon
himself to avenge the wrongs of his neigh-
bors, whose fences, fowls and families had so
long been abused by the soldiers.
Water has to be brought from a distance.
Straw is dificult to obtain. Rations are
4‘
scant, often poor and irregularly served. I
am told it is all done at one place for the
whole Camp, and by contract. It is hoped
by all that our stay here will not be long.
Our men are well pleased with their Colonel,
whose soldierly bearing, attention to his men,
and skill in drilling the Regiment, commend
him to all. Officers and privates are learn-
ing rapidly. Few men are given furloughs,
as the uncertainty about our departure makes
it necessary for us to keep together.
The Norwalk Company, at last, are out of
hot water. Lieut. Beckwith has .been ap-
pointed Captain; Wm. Mitchell, First Lieut.;
Ed. Ayres, Second Lieut. The men are well
satisfied,aud it will be agood company. 0f-
ficers and men generally are doing their du-
ty. Norwalk will have cause yet to be proud
of them. I am sorry to say that our friend,
Capt. Lewis, has gone home quite ill.
Yours truly,

W The English journals‘ are discussing
the resolutions of the New York Chamber
of Commerce, in regard to the depredations
of the Alabama. The liberal journals, of
course,‘denounce such {neutrality as their
Government exhibits, while the representa-
tives of the aristocratic party regard Semmes
and his vessel as engaged in a regular and
legitimate mode of warfare. The New says
the effect of his style of conducting the busi-
ness is to drive all American vessels away
from a burning ship.. It also complains of
the losses already inflicted upon Englishmen
by this sea-rover. The Star takes strong
ground against allowing any more vessels to
be built. It states that there are as many as
nine other ships being built in British ports
for the rebels. It denounces this revival of
piracy on the high seas, with much bitter-
ness.

33‘ The Louisville Journal, commenting
'ou the excitement caused by General Mc-
Clellan’s removal, uses this sensible and pa-
triotic language :—
“ What all patriots want is great results.—
If they are obtained. all patriOts will rejoice;
and if they are not obtained, all patriots will
lament, without much regard in either event
to the fate of individuals as individuals.—
Burnside and McClellan are nothing; but
the general who wins victories for the repub-
lic is the republic’s benefactor. He is the
general for us—he is the general for all pa-
triots."

Mnssns. Eorrons :—Siuce I last had the
pleasure of addressing you, various experi'
ences have been undergone by the 7th Conn,
some gratifying, others which leave a tender
but sad recollection. The names of Hooton,
Hitchcock, Palmer, and others, have been
graven on our hearts and minds, and this soil
been honored with their remains. May we
never relinquish our objects ’till those re-
mains rest under the sure and lasting platoo-
tion of freedom’s flag.
Siortly after returning from the Pocotali-
go expedition, our regiment was ordered to
this place, from motives of health. We are,
at present, located in an elevated and pleas-
ant situation, having our brother regiment,
the 6th Conn, on one side, and the 4th New
Hampshire on the other. Beaufort is pleas-
antly located, commanding an extensive
view of the bay with its picturesque wood-
land shores. I The town possesses those at-
tractions incident to a place where stiff rog-
ularity is done away with, and every edifice
seems to have been built according to the
peculiar fancy of the owner. Large build-
ings and small, the grand and the humble,
are mingled together. Most of the houses,
however, are of the better class; many pos-
sess stately architectural beauties; and the
yards seem overflowing with flowering vines
and roses ; there is also a profusion Of orange
trees and ornamental shrubbery.
Yankee enterprise has already developed,
itself in this pet town of_ the South Carolina
Chivalry, and though deserted by their late
owners, the streets are alive with the hustle
and activity of business. Keepers of Restau-
rants hang out their bills of fare ; the likeness
taker is kept actively at work to furnish the
greedy demand for pictures to send to the
loved ones at home; and the trade in yankee
nick-nacks runs high.
Yesterday the 7th Conn. attended divine
servrce in the Episcopal Church; the dis-
course was delivered by our Chaplain, Rev.
Mr. Wayland. There was some very excel-
lent singing by the choir, composed of indi-
viduals from the regiment who meet several
evenings each week for practice. Several
citizen families attended, the juvenile mem-
bers of which tenderly reminded us of other
times and scenes.
A very pleasant afternoon was passed.—
It seemed so grateful ,to sit once more in the
house of God, and listen to his word dis-
pensed from the pulpit. Mr. Wayland ap-
propriately referred in his sermon to the
year that had just elapsed since We first took
possession of Hilton Head, slightly review-
ing our eventful history, and speaking eulo-
gistically Of some who will never return to
their Northern homes. . ,
An effort has been made to gain recruits
for a regular artillery regiment, from among
the volunteer troops here. A few have en-
listed from most of the regiments. It is a
cause of some dissatisfaction among the vol-
unteer commanders. Sickness decreases
with the approach of winter, and we hope
that before it becomes necessary to undergo
the ordeal of another summer campaign
here, the Stars and Stripes will float triumph-
ant over every State. .
Very respectfully yours, _

ECONOMY 1N FUEL.-—Retrenchment is
the order of the day. It pervades alike
the palace and the cottage. Luxuries
and labor both are high ; the rich man
counts gravely his diminishing dollars,
and the poor woman computes again and
again the proportion between income and
outgo, the amount Of probable expendi-
tures and possible pence. In all our
large towns the winter is looked forward
to with a shudder, on account of the
marked advance in the price of fuel. In
all probability many families in moderate
circumstances are resolving to burn less
and suffer more, to diminish the number
of fires in the household, and accept them
where they cannot be dispensed with, in
a mitigated form. Already we see a. vis-
ion Of chilly dining rooms haunted by
the pale ghosts of former fires, of parlors
where the mercury sinks as low as the
heart of the intruder. We Catch the
odor of closed chambers where the pure
breath of heaven is a forbidden thing, of
easements whence pale faces look lau-
guidly out, and listen to the angel of
health as he sweeps joyously by, but dare
not admit him lest he bear the chill of
frost upon his wings. We see the seam-
stress stitching in her shawl, a cough loz-
euger between her purple lips ; we catch
the shudder of madame in her dressing-
room, where the pretty pink fingers are
fast becoming stiffened and blue.
Now we are all aware that there are
thosewho take a pleasure in gratuitous self-
iufiictious, and who fancy that to be un-
comfortable is both prudent and patriot-
ic. They are mistaken. It is neither.—
Frost preserves thedead but destroys
the living. Nature will not be defrauded
in this way. The healthy can exist in a
low temperature only by an extra con-
sumption of food, the fires within making
up for the lack of fires without. The del-
icate and dyspeptic cannot endure cold
without a corresponding loss of vitality ;
the resources of the system, already slight,
are exhausted in the effort to supply the
element withheld. There is no economy
in the ague. In many cases there is no
saving even of fuel in the end. The coal
stolen from the parlor in December is
consumed in a sick-chamber before the
following March ; to say nothing of bills
for medical attendance, and the thriftless
loss of time. Besides, it is wasteful to
save fuel at the cost of vital power. N 0
man or woman who is chilled and com-
fortless can work effectively and well.—
The 'mind is benumbed as well as the
body. The mental fingers, like the phys-
ical, are changed to thumbs. Delicate
tasks are performed clumsily or not at
all, Warmth is the most kindly ,of la-
bricators, and the cost of friction. The
human machine, like all others, is run at
the greatest profit when it is kept in
good condition. Suffering is rarely cheap,
and very few in these times can afford to
be cold.— Springfield Republican.

oners the day of the battle—total 208
I released them all on parole. The com
mending officer of the enemy, Col. J. P.
Mcheeters, was killed. I delivered his
body to some Of his brother officers, who
ware prisoners, and he was decently
buried near the battle-field, the chaplain
of the 8th New Hamshire officiating.
One of the pieces of the enemy’s artil-
lery broke down in the retreat. We
secured it, and have it now in our posses-
sion. All of my command did very well,
both Officers and men. The 8th New
Hampshire advanced steadily in front of
the enemy’s battery. The 12th and 13
Connecticut crossed the bridge, formed
in aliuc of battle under the very accu-
rate and splendid fire of the enemy’s ar-
tillery. My cavalry has been Of invalu-
able service to me ; both officers and men
have done splendidly. I wish I had four
times the number. The signal corps,also,
has been of great service to me.
“I crossed over my train and encamp-
ed on the battle-field ; had my own and
the enemy’s wounded put in a house
which I took as an hospital. I went in-
to camp the next morning (yesterday).
I moved on down the right bank of the
bayou, throwing over th 75th New York
and Williamson’s cavalry on the left bank.
I left about thirty wounded of my own,
who could not be moved, and the enemy’s
wounded in charge of Surgeon B. N.
Cummings, of the 13th Connecticut, and
left them povisions, money, and supplies
for their care. I entered Thibodeaux at

RESTORATION or A Smart SHEPHERD.—
In accordance with recent modifications
of the Church cannons made by the late
General Convention of the Episcopal
Church, the Right Rev. Bishop Potter
of this Diocese has restored to the Minis-
try the Rev. John Murray Forbes for-
merly Rector Of'St. Luke’s Church. The
defection of Mr. Forbes to the Roman
Catholics, about 10 or 12 years ago, cre-
ated no little sensation among Episcopa-
liens.
Mr. Forbes was for 8 or 9 years the
officiating priest of St. Ann’s parish in
this city. The restoration by Bishop
Potter places him once more in good
standing on the Episcopal Church roll.—
The Bishop has also restored to the Epis-
c0pal priesthood to the Rev. William G.
Hyer, who several years ago became a
convert to the Unitarian doctrine, from
which he has recently rccanted.— Tribune.

THE GREAT STEVENS BATTERY——1k Rt:-
VOLUTION IN IRON SnirnotLDINc PROM-
Isan.—The New York papers say that,
within a few weeks past, there have been
important experiments made in that city
which will revolutionize, in a great mea-
sure, the existiug efforts to make ships
of war impregnable. Mr. Stevens, the
inventor of the great floating battery, is
the leading mind in the matter. One ac-
count of the discovery says:—
“Some time since, being alive to the
important hearing which the new ord-
nance discoveries and developments in
Europe would have upon the future con-
struction of armored vessels, he sent spe-.
cially to the. Eastern hemisphere a gen-
tleman of very large practical kuowtedge
of such firings, to investigate analytically
the progress made by inventors of ships
and guns. That gentleman is now in
Aserica, and has given a valuable ac-
count of his experience. The facts col
looted by him, and the results of ord-
nance trials at home, have partially con-
vinced Mr. Stevens that. there is now no
iron-clad vessel in the world impervious
to the shot that might be hurled against
it. Urged by this conclusion, he endeav-
ored to find out, by the exercise of his
creative faculties, if a ship could not be
rendered really impreguable. The labor
spent in trying has not been lost, and
there is reason to believe that before
long New York harbor will, if the city
authorities wish it, be protected by a
craft which can defy W urriors or La
Gloires.
“The experiments alluded to have been
going on privately, as publicity would de-
feat the object of the inventor. Tho suc-
cess which has attended them, however,
will lead almost immediately to active
measures of importance."
We fought the combined rebel forces
of Mississippi, commanded by Van Dorn,
Price, Lovell, 'Villiniguc and Rust in per-
son, numbering, according to their own
authority, thirty-eight thousand men.
We sign-ally defeated them, with little
moic than half their numbers, and they
fled, leaving their dead and wounded on
the field.
The enemy’s loss in killed was 1,423
Officers and men, their loss in wounded,
taking the general average, amounts to
5,692. We took 2,218 prisoners, among
whom are 137 field oficers, captains and
subalterns, representing 48 regiments of
infantry, l6 regiments of cavalry, l3 bat-
teries of artillery, and 7 battalions, mak-
ing 69 regiments, 6 battalions, and 13
batteries, besides separate companies.
We took also fourteen stands of colors,
two pieces of artillery, 3,300 stands of
arms, 4,500 rounds of ammunition and a
large lot of acc0utrements. The enemy
blew up several Wagons between Corinth
and Chewalla, and beyond Chewalla
many ammunition wagons and carriages
were destroyed, and the- ground was
strewn with tents ,ofiicers’ mess chests,
and small arms. We pursued them forty
miles in force, and sixty miles with caval-
r .
yOur loss was only 315 killed, 1,812
wounded and 232 prisoaers and missing.
It is said the enemy was so demoraliz-
ed and alarmed at our advance, they set
fire to the stores at Tupello, but finding
we were not close upon them extinguished
the fire and removed the public stores,
except two car loads Ofbacou, which they
destroyed.

MILITARY RANK—HOW TO KNOW IT.—
In these days, when long striped trowsers.
and now and then straps on the shoulders
too, are prevalent in this community, and
well-dressed men in 'undrcss’ abound, our
fair friends may be glad to know how to
tell who is who, and avoid the solecism
of addressing a Major General as “Cap-
tain.’ ~
By a glance at the shoulder straps
worn by army Officers, their ranks, and
the branch of the service to which they
he attached, may be at once named, if
you know how and this is the how.
The shoulder-strap of a. Major-General
bear two silver embroidered stars one on
each end of the strap. A Brigadier
General has one silver star only. A
Colonel hasa silver embroidered spread
eagle ; a Lieutenant Colonel has two sil-
ver embroidered leaves, one at each end
of the strap ; a Major, two 'gold embroi-
dered leaves similarly placed. A Cup
taiu has two gold bars at each end of the
strap ; a First Lieutenant, one gold bar
at each end ; and a Second Lieutenant
no bars Mall.
The cloth of the strap, by its color,
distinguishes the arm of the service. For
General and staff officers, it is dark blue;
for Artillery, scarlet ; for Infantry, sky
blue; for Riflemen, green, and for Caval-
ry, orange-color. .
Non commissioned officers are indica-
ted by “chevrous” or stripes on the coat-
sleeve in the form of a letter V. Corpo-
rals Wear two stripes ; Sergeants, three.
Orderly Sergeants have a. lozenge or (ii-
amond shaped figure, with the angle of
the chevrous. Sergeant Majors have the
three stripes of a sergeant completed in-
to a triangle, base uppermost.

18' The Transatlantic telegraph is not
so stone dead as it has seemed to be for
four years past. Notwithstanding the
failure of the enterprise of 1858, capitalists
in Great Britian, with their government
at their back, have gone on adding
achievement to achievement, until now
the most prominent firm in the business
is confident of its ability to lay a line
across the Atlantic that will give satis-
faction. Messrs. Glass, Elliott & 00.,
of London, have laid, within the last
eight years, six thousand six hundred and
fifty miles of insolated wires, now in
working condition, connecting various
countries. Between England and Hol-
land four wires have been laid, each 140
miles long ; between England and Hano-
ver, 280 miles, twofivires; between Eng-
land and Denmark, 368 miles, three wires;
France and Algiers, 550 miles, one wire;
Malta and Alexandria, 1,535 miles, one
wire. ' The line between France and Al-
giers is submerged nearly as deep as the
line between Ireland and Newfoundland
would go. -. Messrs. Glass, Elliott 6; 00.,
offer to take of the stock of a Transat-
lantic Telegraph Company to the amount
of $100,000; and in evidence of their
confidence to their own ability to do the
job, after the experience they have had,
they ask that they should be paid weekly
only for the time of their laborers and
the first cost of the material used, and
they will take their profit of twenty per
cent. on the line in installments, payable
only after the cable shall be in working
condition. There is no doubt that Glass,
Elliott & Co., are the leading men in the
submarine telegraph business; are men of
capital, whose experience and past suc-
cess is unquestionable, and businessmen
of sound judgment credit their claim to
be able to lay a line across the Atlantic
that will work and prove of great impor-
tancc.
But the lapse of time has started a po-
litical difficulty which was not pressed
against Cyrus Field’s company, although
thoughtful Americans were every where
aware that it existed. The initial points
of the proposed line, both in ‘ ‘
and Europe, are in the Britisl
ions, Ireland and Newfoundlai
terminus ou the American side
he in the United States before our Gov-
ernment can see its way clear to expend
money in support of what may be used
in war to our incalculable harm. What
an immense advantage England would
enjoy over America in case Of war! And
no treaty stipulations can be framed, that
it would not be. easy for England to
break, or get round in practice, by some
subtle diplomacy or other. This nation
has lost the confidence it once had in the
honor and good faith of Great Britain.—
Her conduct in this struggle of ours, has
destroyed the sympathy we once felt f’or
her, and which we fondly, and perhaps
foolishly, supposed that she l'CClpl'OCuLed.

l’ccrs: “Confidence is a plant of slow
growth.” But it withers like Jonah’s

THE LARGEST DIAMOND IN N oars
AMERICA—The Boston Traveller says
that the largest diamond in this country
is now on exhibition at a jeweller’s store
ll] that city. Is is reported to have been
found a. year since in Stoke County, in
the northern part of North Carolina, on
the Virginia border, near the Blue Ridge,
and m the rough, weighed twenty-three
and three quarter carats, and since out-
Its true
value it is difficult to estimate, butit may
probably be found somewhere between
$10,000 and $18,000, and but for two
almost inappreciable Spots, the stone
would be worth more. In size it ap-
proaches a large plum stone in length,
but is deeper and broader, almost a
square on the face, with rounded corners.
In the rough it was about square. Each
of the faces had to be ground down sepa-
rately, as it was unsafe to chip off cor-
ners for fear Of cracking the stone. The
cost of the fine sand used for this pur-
pose was over one hundred dollars, and
the total charge for the work will be
fifteen hundred dollars, more or less.
