A Democratic meeting nt PiUwburg, on thi* account, voted down resolutions sustaining the AJministrs- tion of "a Pennsylvania Pr« siden»’\ and divers other manifestations of popular dis* pleasure were made. All thia should have bad no influence whatever upon the Preai- dent nr his subordinates, if the contractor could cheapest supply foreign iron, notwith standing the advantage given to Pennsyl vania iron by existing laws, he should have been allowed to do so, and should have been indulged to the same extent that a contractor using the Pennsylvania article would have been indulged. But it seems that the pop ular clamor has induced the authorities eei»e up.ifl tbo first opportunity to deda tho Mycis contract forfeited, u* wo learn by a df-patch fiom Washington dated Oct.6th This was done because he failed to deliver the portion due on the first u> October—i failure that in other contractors would cither have icon informally indulged for a days, ur remedied by withholding from their pay damage* for the loss of time. The step taken will not remedy tho evil, but aggravate it, because a new contract must now be made and delay experienced before tho manufac ture of tho pipe can commence. But both customary courtesy and public interest must sutler to enable trading politicians to buy or appease popular sentiment. The Cable. We ropy elsewhere the official report of tic Telegraph and the pros pects of the Cable. Very little hope can bo derived from it that tho Cable will he restor ed to use ; nor does it appear that it ever worked in a satisfactory or reliable manner. The lailure, however (if it should turn out to ho a complete lailure), is one of thoso ••uses of adversity” which science invariably tun s to advantage, and from which it learns to mature and perfect its processes until the great aim is accomplished el lest The delects and errors brought to light in in vestigating the cause* of the present failure will of course be guarded against when next Report of the State oi ih* Atlantic TeU ejfrtjm ('able. London, September lH. 1 arrived at Valcuiia on the evening of the jili in*:., wlieu I tound trial no word* had lor many days bocn received through the cable from Newfoundland. On the Gth, 7ih, 81I1. 9ih and 10?h, 1 teeted the cable at intervals, in tour different w ays, to ascertain its condition. The following are the results: 1. Therein a laull ot great magnitude at n distance of between 245 and 300 miles from Valentis, but the locality cannot be more accurately ascertained until a portion oi the cable, twonty or thirty miles in length, has been tested against my siandard, and until the log has been connulted to ascertain the amount ot slack plaid out. I would sug gest that the piece of cable at Greenwich bo card dly measured and leeit-d against my standard, in order to obtain the most correct entimatt- of the fault. Ansuming, however, that it is 270 milos, and allowing 22 per cent, for slack, it is possible that the chief defect is in ihullow water—410 lathotns. 2.

The Washington Statu, Richmond En quirer, Augusta Constitutionalist, anti other Boutlern papers supporting Judge Douglas, are earnest in demanding t" know why it is the Administration ami the Washington Union confine their proscriptive end denun- ristory warfare to Judge Douglaa and his local friends in Illinois. Why, say they, Is not Clov. Wiae also denounced and pursueJ with unrelenting, rancor ; fordid not he also oppoan J.ccomptou and justain Pouglka in every step! Why not get up oppnaltion to English and the numorous othrr Northern Democrats who sustained the Conference bid. but now announce their intention to violate it; for do not they at present occupy the same position as Douglas? Ii must bo oonfeased that there is force in this iuterrogalory argument, ami wo ppre- heud that a candid answer to it would reveal personal influence* that certain high official* an* anxious to keep out of sight. But let ua see whether the interrogator* in thi* in stance occupy any better position than the interrogated. Why do not they demand that Walker, Stanton, Reader, Broderick Ildskin, Montgomery, Forney, ct al., shall also be received back into lull fellowship and high position in the Democratic ranks ! Has not Judge Douglaa auatained these refractory end unpardonable Democrat* iii every position they have taken? Doe* he not occupy the aune position with them ! And ran any treaty of jieace bo mule with Douglaa which doea not include also these Ids friends? Would Dougla* bo arting with the chivalry and honor generally ascribed to him. should he conclude a peace with the Administration which did not also grant pardon ami security to hia subaltern* ! The conflicting demand* of these factions disclose one truth very clearly, and it ought j ,bo c ‘ ,m I’ to consign the whale party to Coventry. It j *‘ n b ,, " b Ml is party udoantuge they are mutually work- | lotion* commendatory of Adrian, Walk, mg tor, and not principle.

The Southern papers supporting Douglas, on the oilier hand, see that without the co-oparatioo of the Illinois “giant” their party can have uo chance of future success—that when they throw Douglas overboard, they also throw Overboard the Presidency and tho control of ail the Federal office*. Hence they are wil ling to t*ke back Dou^a*. hecautt of his strength, but resolutely bar the door against Walker, Reeder and Forney, whose service* they bink they ran afford to dispense with. in plain word*, it is Douglaa* power that j # gooJ (ia , they are afraid of, while such “poor devil*” | „ ff)t M a* Walker at a!., who have done no more than Douglas, can't come in, because they the political power to compensate ot this of working the rest upon tho ef- ■ end of the line, ry flint, ns there intelligible.

Taking it ntiiu lowest resiatnneo, viz : 10 miles, and assuming that Newfoundland is only using 180colls of Daniel’s battery, the strongest current received tliouce during my stay was only I>2tth part ol the force that it should be were there hut thia one fault. When ii is, however, home in mind that on tho other side they are probably using more power, and also that the defect fust alluded to probably offers more resistance than that assumed, viz: 10 miles, it is evident that there is nnother and more distant fault, the approximate locality of which 1 could not protend to estahliah at this end without bo- ing^nhlc to speak to Newfoundland.

In Eacainlns coun ty (Pensarola. dec ), the Americans elected both t> eir candidate for Senator, Nicholson, and their nominee for Repreaentalfrve, Wil- liam*—making a gain of this county to off set their loss of Jackson. The vote for Con gress in Escambia stood, Hawkins 304. Weatrntt only 78! In Duval county (Jack sonville, &c.) Weatcott beat Hawkins about U3 votes, and it was supposed that the Amer ican ticket for the Legislature waa electsd by a smaller majority. Theae two counties appear to afford an index of (he way the Congressional election is going in the two sections. The Tallahassee Floridian reports that the Democrats have carried Leon, Wa- kulli, Gadsden, Jefferaoq, Madison and Hamilton counties for Hawkins. In Leon and Wakulla Democrats were elected to the Legislature; in Madison, Taylor and Lafay ette, three Democrete and one American, and Hawkins' majority in these three coun ties 26 ; in Hamilton, an American Senator and Democratic Representative. Franklin county, in which Apalachicola is situated, gave Hawkins 220, Weatcott 11. Eppes (whig) got 139 for Senator, and Tbig- pin 105.

God rent the Long Ago I On the evening of the 86th of September tho appenranco of tho comet, in tl^a great re fractor of the Cincinnati Observatory, was especially interesting. The central portion, or nucleus, was examined with power* vayy- ing from one hundred to five hundred, with out presenting any evidence of a well-defined planetary disc. It was * brilliant glow of light darling and, flashing forward in the di rection of the motion toward the *uo, and leaving tho region behind in comparative obsurity, But tho most wonderful physical feature presented wa* a portion of a nearly circular, nebulous ring, with its vortex di rected toward the *un, the bright nucleus be ing in tho ceiitro, while the imperfect ring *wopt more than half way round the lumin ous centre. Thi* nebulous ring resembled those which sometime* escape from a steam- pipe, and did not exhibit the nppearauen, which ought to he presented by a hollow homi*p!)cricaj envelop of nebulous matter There w*« ail evident concentration of light in the central portion* of the ring, while, in the case of a hollow envelop, tho brightest portion should ho at the outer edge. By mi cromMtricnl meanuroinont tho distance from the central point to the circumfercnc* of the ring was found lo lm about 9,000 miles. This would givo a diameter of eighteen thousand mile*, in case the ring was entire. Similar measurement*, made on the evening of Che 26lh of Heptombar, indicated a decided in- crease in the radius of the ring, which w»* now not less than twelve thousand mile* in length. On the *aine evening I noticed the D ot “ Do hush, Mary," replied the sister, b, ® nd iUe,f ' nl ° lhe head portion of the tail, whose own face wa* acarlet, though it wore bul somewhat to penetrate into — ■ ' this nebulous ms**, especially on the upper part, presenting tho nppoarance of about 200 degrees of a npiral. The tail on the 25th wn* decidedly brighter and better de fined on tho upper than on the lower por tion. while on tho evening of the 25th thero was a much nearer approach to equality in brightness, especially near the head of the comet. Through (he telescope, and near the head, the tail presented the appearance of a hollow nebulous envelop, under the form of a paraboloid of revolution, the edge* being brightest and well defined, while there wa* a manifest fading away of light toward the central region. Through the vast depth of nebulous matter composing this wonderful appendage the faintest telescopic stars shone with undiminished brightness. ie can gaze on this gigantic object, in all it* misty splendor, without a deep im pression that the eye ia resting on a rnaa* of uebulous matter precisely auch as the nebu lar theory of La Place suppose* to have been the primordial condition of our sun and all it* attendant planets, and from which cha otic condition this beautiful system of re volving worlds ha* boon eVoked by the action oi a single law. The only comet which hns presented an appenranco resembling tbe one now visible, is the one known ns Halley’s Comet, as «eeri by Bir Wm. Horschel and others in its return in 1836. Thero is thia marked difference betweon the two: That while the onvelop of Halley’* Comet is describod a* a hemis pherical hollow envslop, this shows more the shape of a nebulous ring ; there it a faint, misty light, of irregular outline, but not to be mistaken by even a casual observer.
