The Steamer Atlantic —Singular Sensations es the |
Diver.
1 Mr. Mallletert and hit companion* returned from
( Long Point last evening, after a second and a auc
; cessful attempt to reach the wreck of the Atlantic,
{ o!though from unavoidable circumstances nothing
i has yet been accomplished toward raising the Ex
| press Company's safe or commencing operations
i upon the wreck. We have been furnished by Mr.
John Green, the diver, with a very interesting ac
count of his descent. Notwithstanding the some
what unfavorable condition of-the weather and the
roughness of the water, it was determined to make
an attempt to reach tho wreck on Saturday morn
ing, in order to lest tho capacity of the new hose.
Mr. Green therefore arrayed himself in the ma
rine armor and started our second trip to Ine bot
tom of Lake Erie. He descended without any dif
ficulty, and landed directly in the interior of the
steamer’* smoke-pipe, the tor and sides of which
he felt with his feet and hands. lie was then ele
vated again some little distance, and alighted
the second time on the braces, following down un- j
til he got on to the cross braces. He did not, how-
snooted in making a firm footing on the j
deck, owing to the unsteadiness of tho small steam- j
or used on the occasion, which communicated too I
much motion to the hose and ropes.
There was much risk of the intrepid djver got
ting entangled in the ropes and wood-work so as to
be unable to extricate himself, or to tear the dress, j
and being again elevated ho descended a third I
time alongside and clear of the wreck. lie now
| went down fourteen feet below the upper deck j
and even with the guards, his head being one bun- 1
dred and thirty-nine feet, and his feotone hundred
and forty-four feet below the surface ot Lake Erie.
This is the deepest dive ever made, une hundred
and twenty-six feet being the greatest depth over
before reached. The new hcao was found to be
perfectly successful; tho diver felt quite at ease,
aud went down and up, without the slightest in
jury to dress, pipes or man.
T’he marine armor consist of a perfectly air-tight
India-rubber dre?9, topped by a copper helmet
with a oloar, thick plate of glass in front. The
pipes which supply and exhaust tho air, lead from
the top of this helmet. The pumping requires
much labor; four, and sometimes six men being
• emnloved upon it at the same time, end compelled
I to work hard at that. A great pressure of air is
I pxnerienced by the diver upon his lungs, equal to
CXpCnOUvOU WJ »*UW Hn VI uj/vii >
75 lbs. to the inob, and very few individuals could j
bear it for any length of time.
When first going into the diesg. the eetißalicm of 1
oppression it- very overcoming, but passes awey |
in a r noat measure "after entering the water. When j
a depth often feet is reached iu the descent, the j
drees bewmes entirely emptied of air and collapsed
to the body, causing "a pressure oil over the diver j
equal to th* heft of « t«n pound weight, except
ing as to the beau, which is protected by the pro
i per helmet. The difficulty in breathing now be
j oomea great, and s. painful sensation is experi
enced by the diver, the jaws becoming distended,
| and the head seemingly splitting. This continues
1 uu til after descending another ten or twelve
feet, then the pain is relieved, the diver feels oom
j sortable, and experiences no further tuconvience,
W ben abou*- sixty feet below the surface, hun-
I dreds of the legitimate inhabitants of the water
surround the diver, nibbling at their strange visi
-1 tor as though he was “food for the fishes.” After
; reaching seveutv-flv© feet, all is perfectly dark—a
plays irupenetrat-le darkness—and an electric flame
black,around the inside of the helmet, caused by the
i friction of the pump. At about one hundred and
• sixty feet the water is very cold, being in the pre
sent season within four or five degrees of freezing.
Mr. Maillefert has returned iu order to obtain a
larger steamer, and to wait for settled and calm
weather before making another attempt. He has
not the slightest doubt' that the next etfort will be
crowned with success. Mr. Green, the diver, has
proved himself capable of doing the work effectu
ally, and must rank as one of the first and most
useful “under water'’ men in the country. Two
| most excellent diver besides Mr. Green are in com
: panv with M. Maillefert. We shall look with
! much interest for the result of the next trial, but
that i‘ will be successful we have no doubt.
Arrival of the Empire C’lty.
The steamship Empire City, Capt. Windles, ar
rived this morning from New York the 18tb, via
Havana the 19th inst.
The officers of the Empire City says they were
treated with remarkable politeness by the Spanish
officers while in the harbor of Havana.
The Havana papers continue to be filled with
long and scurrilous diatribes against the United
Stales Government, people end press, which ap
pear to bo as silly as they are false.
The Diario d-e la- Marina gives an account of the
loss of the war steamer Pizarrc, the best vessel in
the Spaunish navy, from which that she
lett Havana on the 10th, and at 7 o'clock that
uight was off the port of Mariel. Approaching
the shore too close, she struck upon a sunken
reef, and, according to the Dktrio, will prove a
i total loss.
An officciid notice in the Diario says that a
council of war w:« to be held on the 18th, to ae
j termine the cause penduiownJbfcTB T £tmslKTo

tion of the revolutionary paper, La Vox drtPiiebio.
| A gentleman who came passenger on the Em
pire City informs us that arrests continued to be
i made daily, both in Havana and in the country.
I Among the foreigners in Havana, not even the
■ simplest opinion upon the state of the country is
; expressed without the utmost caution as to being
j overheard, os spies swarm at the corner of
every street, and a report from one of them to the
Government is sufficient to cause the arrest of any
individual. Two English officers, belonging lb
the British steamer, had walked out to the Punta.
n firt opposite the More, at the mouth of
the harbor, ami were pointing to the forlifioationß
in sight, when they were arrested and imprieou
; Ed on suspicion of being filibusters taking obser
vations. An appeal to the British Consul, bow
j ever, procured th ir immediate release.
All American newspapers, without exception,
' are strictly prohibited. Even the acting Araeri
j can Consul there, Mr. Moreland, our infoimaat
t says, was unable to got a singie paj-er from the
United States. The pilot of tne steamship Black
1 Warrior, who lives at Key West, left the steamer
at Havana, with the intention of proceeding from*
thence to his home. In his trunk he had some
ft-y 3 of New Orleans papers, which be was taking
*■o I s family. The e were pounced upon at the
Cur*on,-House, and immediately sent to the palace
of the Captain General, notwithstanding Urn re-
G.onstraaces of the in Jignan* owner.
Parties of troops leave the city daily fbr the ;
country, and prisoners arrive by every train. Our
: informant saw sixty persons transferred to the
Moro in one ba:cb, securely bound: among whom j
he recognized several persons of wealth and :
standing. A squadron ot cavalry, under the lead
of a notorious commissary or police officer of the j
ch ji was in the south of the Island searching for
- stand of arms, wluoh the Government had !
received information has been lauded near Cien

Later from Texas.
By the arrival of the steamship Louisiana, Capt.
. Forbes, from Galveston the 19th inst. we have re
ceived dates from that city to the 17th.
r - The Lavaca Commercial says the pooau mast
f on the Colorado, Guadalupe and San Antonio riv
- ere, is very heavy this season, and quite a number
-of persons are preparing to gather as soon a* the
- mart begins to fill.
The ludiaaola Bulletin, speaking of cattle rais
- mg. says that this important branch of Texas pro
- due;ion was never in a more encouraging state than
at present and adds :
In the coast region the number cf stock raitei s
i is multiplying rapidly. In no portion of the coun
try ere cattle raised more easily or successfully,
and with so few losses, as in the Caranchua coun
» try. M e learn that Col. Clark L. Owen has brand
ed in his stock 800 calves, the production of 1852
while onr neighbor, Capt I. K. Mitchell, on the
' north side of the bay, has branded 400. The i
‘ Messrs. Ward, Coleman, Wildy, and others have
very large herds on the Caranchua. Messrs, j
Snodgrass, Fulton, and others, we ere glad to learn {
are establishing a stock farm on the same stream, !
on which they will place a herd of 4,000 head.
The Bulletin save that there is a great increase
in the lumber trade of ludiauola. From the 16th f
of August to the 18th of September, inclusive, 599-
000 feet had been received. Notwithstanding
these receipts, the supply is by no means com- i
' meuburate with the demand.
A- correspondent of the Nueces Valley, writing ‘

Gen. HcoU’a Speech at Cleveland.
A fribnd, who belongs to that nondescript class
of politicians, the genus Whig, who support Pieeob
end Kino, writes ua saving:—“ You have a pecu
liar way in your editorials of turning up your uo»e
at every thing low down and demagogueical,” and
encloses a report by Telegraph of a speech made
by Geu. Soott at Cleveland, Ohio, of which he asks
our opinion; That we may do Gen. Soott no in
justice, we subjoin the report which appeared origi
nally in the Baltimore papers, and wo confess that
it l« such a complete compound of silliness and low
demsgogueisui, and so thoroughly mixed, that we
• are wuollv unable to determine which predonu-
• urt? W UVUf Ui flj.'y IV wu w* utiuv I
! nates. Indeed, it would require all the powers of ■
i the most skilful analyst to decide. Without, how- ;
j aver, settling this question, we may remark, that 1
this speech has only more thoroughly aatisned us ■
of the total unfitness, nay, unworthnees, of Gen. (
Soorr’for the high station to which his inordinate |
and nuchaetened ambition aspires.
There is. however, one fact, which strikes us as
e little curious in connection with our friend, to
1 whom wo ere indebted for the copy of the speech
j —that ie. that he, a Whig from principle, should
object to Gen. Sooxr'e practising the low arte of
the latest demagogues, while h( supports Pxbscb,
| the mere spawn and creature of the moat debased
demagogueiam, ami who really has nothing else to
commend him to the public consideration or favor.
1 Really, we think he should be silent on the subject
I of demagogueisux when ho can consent to thus
j (-ouu.onauce it in hie candidate.
Bat enough of this—the reader is doubtless anx
ious to see tbh extraordinary speech of General
’ i Soon. Here it is:
i • Okk. Scott's Speboh at Clbvbland.
Cleveland, Ohio, Sept. 21—The following is
1 j the speech of Gen. Scott, made from the balcony
of the American Hotel, yesterday, to the throng
which assembled to welcome him to the city ;
> “fellow citizens—When I fellow citizens, I
mean native and adopted citizens, ha well as^ah
1 who intend to become citizens of this great and
- glorious country. 1 thank you for the euthusias
j tic reception \ou have given me. (Cheers.) But
! there is one thing I regret in visiting this beautiful
j citv, cud that is the rain. 1 was pained that while
- | I was comfortably sheltered in a covered carriage,
i vou should has e been exposed to rain and mud.
i During my military campaigns, and at other times
i | in the discharge of the duties of my office, and
1 I during the greater part of ray life, I have been on
the march, and have always been accustomed to
i expose myself to the weather and other incouve
l i niencee of camp life, in common with the brave
- soldier of the army, and lam pained at this time,
to see you put to such inconvenience on my uo
s count." (Great cheering.) Fellow-citizens—l have
i thought u man could hardly call himself a citizen
3 of this great country, without passing over these
t great lakes, of which this is justly celebrated as
r i one of the most beautiful of the whole West,
i ! (“You're - welcome hero,” from an Irishman.) I
i i hear that rich brogue—l love to h*sr it—it makes
j me remember the noble deeds of Irishmen, many
i 1 of whom I have led to battle and to victory.
- ;■ (Great cheeringy) 1W mas purpose; I
> ; am travelling for the purpose of ee’eoting a site for
> j a military hospital. I simply c-ame at your call to
■ | thank you for thij greeting. You have seen dt to
i greet me cordially, so would you greet any of your
• ; country’s Generals. I accept it as an evidence of
' ycur patriotism ; it convinces me of your devotion
• and love of your country. [Cheera.j 1 will not
detain you longer you are wet and covered with
mud. I repeat my thanks for this enthusiastic re
ception. (Great cheering.)
This morning he was waited upon by a large
number of our citizens, and on his departure in the
cars for Golumbue, was enthusiastically cheered.
The Democratic Candidate.
j In a recent article, the Baltimore America* «x
--j presses the confident conviction in the defeat of
Gan. Pierce, and assign* three causes therefor.
The second and third are »o forcibly put, and
withai so entirely true, that we subjoin them and i
| commend them to the dispassionate consideration j
of every intelligent and reflecting mind:
i “ Another cause which work* powerfully in fa- ’
j vorofue whigs is the obscurity and political in
significance ot Gen Fierce, it is impossible to
make anything out of him. His civil career and j
| his military career alike stamp him with the mark !
i of mediocrity. He cannot rise above the dead le
■l vol of political stagnation. The idea that he has
! done anything to entitle him to the votes of the
. people for the Presidency is so absurd that we do
1 not find it often brought forward. No efforts,
however desperate, can give public interest to the
cause of such a candidate as this; his name ha* no
associations with any thing great in addon or noble -
| in spirit, or useful in service. He was scarcely j
' known in Congress or in the army; he has made
ns figure in the for am or in the field. Hence it,
follows that bis partisans have dull work in trying -
to arouse the people to do something for Bierce. <
They are apt to inquire what has he done for his
country! Gen. bcott they know, and they know ;
something of his doings—but Pie-oe they do not
know, and do not seem very anxious for an intro
dudion to his acquaintance.
“ The third cause of encouragement to the whig*
| aud of embarrassment to their opponents, may Ce
| found in the fact that the Fierce party have so tied
i fl fViut - in \ vAxir rtf fitter-
I tl.bu* nan i* teat, m view 01 tacit avowed princi
ple*, they cannot act in behalf of any of fho groat |
i interests of the country. Their political principles
| are a aeries of negations. If the people of the |
; great Wed and Northwest desire to have the mesa*
i of internal commerce facilitated, they are told that j
: Congress has no power to carry on any genera! '
! system of internal improvements; the votes of)
fierce in Congress against every river and harbor
bill that came before him eland forth in the public
view, along with the vetoes of Mr, Folk. If Penn
vauia desires to have her great iron interests j

“ There is not a single point upon which the
Pierce paity can go before the people and maintain
themselves consistently with their professed prin
ciples. For them the canvass is barren, the hust
ings dumb—so far as any words of sound policy
are concerned.”
It i» indeed a melancholy reflection to sec a great
nation of independent freemen, so perfectly the
slaves of party and corrupt irresponsible Conven
tions, as to permit themselves to bo confined to
two such men a« Generals Scott and Pierce, to se
lect a President from. The one a mere General,
a successful one it is true, and nothing else; and the
ether a sort of amphibious hybrid—neither Gen
eral nor civilian,—in short nothing. Neither pos
sessing any qualifications or distinction which
should commendthem to the American people for
such a station.

The electric telegraph from Pare to Bordeaux is
now opened to the public. It i», says the Euro
pean correspondent of the New York Commereial
Advertiser, probably, the most perfect line of mag
netic communication in existence. The wires, ;
ten in number, go the whole distance under j
ground. They are five inches apart, and form u
hollow square! To guard against humility, they
are supported upon wooden blocks, with the ne
cessary insolation, encased in a coating of gutta
pereha and lead. An ingenious contrivance ena
bles the guardians to detect at once the exact spot
where any flaw or break has occurred, without the
digging up of any portion of the trench. As the
wires follow the lino of the rail road, upon whose
sacred soil no mortal foot is allowed to tread, they
will be safe from profanation. It is said that the
tariff caprices will bo more moderate than upon
the other lines.
A Nkw Ship Cakal Projected.— The New York
Post states that among the passengers leaving on
Wednesday in the steamer Sierra Nevada for Cha
gros, is Mr. Catherwood, the artist, who many
years ago attracted the attention of American t by
his admirable illustrations of John L. Stephens’
popular book of travels in Central America. Mr.
Catherwood’s visit to New York had relation in
part to a very important project which lias been
set on foot by some wealthy London capitalists for
the construction of a ship canal across the isthmus
ot Darien and between points different from any
which have yet been discussed as the termini of
such a work.

■ making an aggregate of 1108,000,000 ;so that the

Things in Havana,
Although our readers have already been placed
in, possession of an abstract, by telegraph, of the
Havana news, brought by the Crescent City at Now
York, they will doubtless be interested with the
i perusal of the subjoined letter from lieut. Pouter
and the accompanying correspondence oftheNew-
York Herald;
It will be recollected that we published, on the
arrive! of the B. W., a manifesto of the Captavu-
General, against Mr. William Smith, the purser o;’
the Crescent City, on the suspicion that he had
written a communication, relative to the conduct of
the Spanish authorities, to the New York papers.
This manifesto was handed to Capt. Porter, ot the
C. C., by Messrs. Drake &, Co.’s clerk, after the ar
rival of that ship. The following letter of Capt.
Porter is the answer of the said communication :
Havana, Sept. 14. 1832.
GentUrrun —I have received a communication
from yon to-day, enclosing one from the Spanish
government, in which Mr. Wm. Smith, purser of
this shi t , ’8 accused of writing infamous reports for
the newspapers, and prohibiting Mr. Smith from
going on shore, a* if the said Mr. Smith had com
mitted some criminal act.
The injustice and absurdity ol tms order wnl be
apparent to you, when I assure you, on the honor
of an officer,'that Mr. Smith has never written or
composed any article for the newspapers , n
wa« duo to the gentleman in question first to inquire
if he had written any article injurious to the gov
ernment. „
Citizens ot the United States ere not a! ram >-0
express their opinions on foreign political matters,
especially in their own territory, where freedom oi
speech is allowed to the meanest individual, ih
shortness of my stay hero will not permit me to go
into a discussion of this matter.
I merely wish to state to yon that an indignity
has been offered to the American flag, through the
ship I command, as an officer of the United States
government, in placing on board police office?* to
take charge of Wm. Smith. I, moreover, inform
yott, that! will not permit the police offices to
st ß y on board, under the circumstances ; that 1 in
tend to sail st four o'clock, and if any attempts are
made to prevent me, the Spanish autl onties will
have to answer to the United States for the result.

I among whom it is reported, is a special agent oi the
Captain General to this country and to Mexico.—
* What this individual intends to do in the Traded
States, is foreshadowed in our correspondent a let
ter‘ Havana, Sept. 14.
The Crescent City arrived here this morning from
New-Orleaus. but so great is the difficulty in get
ting on board, that I don’t know if 1 shall bo sole
to sand this letter. Since the discovery ofthe press
Vox del Pueblo, it is almost an impossibility to re
ceive or send away a communication. An letters
tp,B‘ pass through the post office are opened,
and it they contain one word against the govern
ment thev are destroyed, and perhaps a dozen in
nocent ne; sons are punished for the oftcnce. It
an attempt is made to deposit a letter with one
the officers ofthe steamers, one of the numerous
sules belonging to the police informs at once, aud
tfie~person who attempts to deliver a letter is sure
to find his way to the Moro, in the lowest depths
ot which hundreds es innocent md:vid*nrls are slow
la -perishing for want of proper comfort-*. Von little

Os four da3 «* jouriioy from the most freo am. iiyzvdi

head of Police, with the Captain of the Port, as Ins
executioners. The former may be seen at. oven
hoarof the night and day, sneaking through tne
at o*te, violating the sanctity cf private dwellings
—while the Captain of the Port is rowing aboutthe
harbor in ins boat driving in the poor fisherman,
who is toiling for his miserable pittance, and stop
ping every otic who is passing iu a boat ou his ‘.e-
l himato business. Every American newspaper or
periodical is prohibited on fehore, with t.lO
exception ofthe Evening Press, which has nottne
spirit to say a word against General Canedo s ty
rauny to the people ; and it is a heavy fine and im
prisonment for auy one to bo found with a nev s
paper on hi» person. There are one or two versons
now in disgrace for the heinous tin of reading an
American newspaper.
There is a spirit of misery and despair pervading
the bosom of the unhappy Creoles; and the mis
fortune is, they have no sunshine in the tntuve.—
Every thing looks dark aud gloomy, and the Cap
tain General, (like his great prototype, Nero, fid
dling amidst the burning of Rome, ) laughs at tne
misei v and despair around turn, snu sighs to think
there 1* no mote room in hi* prisons for more ric
riins. What will the. people in the United Staled soy

know that over one thousand persons arc pining
away in dark and loathsome dungeons, not ono of
whom arc convicted of u single criminal offence,
and merely for aspiring to obtain some of the* e
blessings of liberty which are enjoyed by mhlions
within one day's voyage of Cuba i Von will never

they are suffering iu Cuba, because they cannrt
lilt their voices to make it known.

oi liberty should know that this monster ia human
shape is about to be among them ; for he it was,
who raised a band, when Crittenden and his me.i
wore shot, and marched around the city with th
matilated remains of the unfortunate Americans;
aud afterwards gave an entertainment, at which a
glass jar was placed upon the table with the ear of
one ofthe prisoners preserved in spirits. It is said
that he goes to Mexico to stir up the old Spaniards,
and get them to ask assistance irom Spain to iVac
a monarch on the throne of Mexico. Hi* ree: ob
ject is to sneak amongst the Creoles of New-Yo v k,

“The narrow inlet, which is her present quarters,
