An Extraordinary Atlair—Ottoman Currrency
Counterfeited In lew York to the Extent of
Four lUllion Eight Hundred Thousand Dol
lars!
Amongthe receift hems of news from Turkey,
was one in reference to the arrest of a woman, up
on the charge of counterfeiting, as she was about
to disembark at Constantinople from the steamer
in which she had come ns a passenger from Eng
land. Idle amplitude of her crinoline first attract
ed to this woman the attention of the police; her
conduct then excited their suspicions, and she
was arrested and searched. Her dress, it was
found, was thickly quilted with counterfeit notes,
in imitation of the “caimes”—a paper currency
of the Ottoman government—each worth forty pi
astres, or eight dollars in our currency; and her
trunks were furnished w ith false bottoms, in which
a large number,of the counterfeits were packed.
After her. arrest, she was carried before the Minis
ter of Police, where site confessed her guilt, and
represented that she was a Moldavian, named Mrs.
Sevasti, but under an assumed name, had procured
the counterfeit paper to lie printed in the city of
New York, by a printer in Duane street, named
Harrison. A dispatch -stating these and other
facts confessed by the woman was .sent by the Ot
toman government, through its Minister in Lon
don, to J. Horsford Smith,-Ottoman consul at New
York, who, as soon as he received it, went before
the Mayor (on Thursday .morning last) and made
the following affidavit:
City anti County of Xetn York, ss.—J. Hosford
Smith, Consul for the Ottoman Porte, in the city
of New York, being duly sworn, deposes and says
that he has received a dispatch from thh Ottoman
Government, through the Turkish Minister in Lou
den stating that Mrs. Sevasti, a Moldavian, has
arrived at Constantinople from England, with a
considerable quantity of "caimes,” or paper
money, consisting of six hundred thousand pieces
of paper money, of twenty piastres each: and that
said Mrs. Sevasti has, during a judicial proceeding
or interrogation, made before the Minister of
Police, stated that she, under the assumed name of
Madame Zaifmen, had caused the said “caimes,”
or paper money, to be printed in the city of New
York, by a ceitain Haxrrison. a hook printer
in New-York, at Duane street. No 82. That she
had taken away four -plates, in order to print the
imperial “Toughra,” or signature of the Snltan,
and seal for the reverse of the “caimes,” and that
there remain beside sixten pieces of each of these
plates in the magazine of the above named printer
and in his possession; as well as the torn and dirty
“caimes" among those which she has caused to be
made. And deponent further says that he has full
reliance in the authority of the information thus
ccnvpyed, and he believes tliat the said “caimes,’’
and the plates for printing them, or some part
thereof, are now concealed on the premises, or in
the possession -of the said Harrison at No. 82
Duane street, in the ward of New York. And
deponent turther says that the said “caimes” are
paper money issued by and under the sanction of
the Turkish Government, and that they circulate
as money therein, and be believes that the said
Harrison had printed, the same with the intent
♦o deceive and defraud, and that the same should
he uttered and disposed of with a fraudulent
design; and deponent prays that said—Harrison
may be arrested, and that a search warrant be is
sued to seize on the said plates and counterfeit
“caimes,” which he lias reason to believe, and does
believe, are in the possession of said Harrison
at No. 82 Duane street. J. Hosford Smith, Ot
toman Consul.
Sworn to before me. this 7th day of Oct., 1858. )
Daniel F. Tiemakn, Mayor. $
The Journal of Commerce, of the 8th inst .in
which we find this affidavit, gives the following
account of the proceedings taken upon it by tiie
Mayor.
The Mayor entrusted the case to the manage
ment of Sergeant Birnev who visited Mr. Harri
son’s printing office, and to’d him of ihe nature of
his business. Mr. H. expressed himself greatly
surprised, and protested his perfect innocence of
auy collusion with the Turkish fraud. He frankly
acknowledged that he had printed the “caimes,”
but said that he had no knowledge of their real
nature—which, is not at all strange, as they look
very much like the labels on fire crackers or
Turkish tobacco, and, being destitute of signa.
tures, or the usual bank note devices, would con
vey to no uninformed mind the idea of a paper
currency. The note is about five inches long by
foor wide; printed on common looking paper,
and the engraving of the face presents a mere
jumble of Turkish character and emblanies. The
back bears a small round impression, which
proves to be the seal of the Sultan, but which
looks like a meaningless anagram to one not ac
quainted with the fact. Mr. H. was anxious to
have the mystery thoroughly sifted, and freely
told Sergeant Birney all the facts in his posses
sion.
He says that about the first of July last he was
called upon by a lady of smart, respectable ap
pearance, about forty years of age, speaking
broken English, who showed him one of the
"caimes,” and informed him that it was a label
of which she desired to have six hundred thou
sand copies made. She wished him to have an
exact engraving taken from it, and the quality of
paper to be imitated as closely as possible, and
asked him his price for managing the who busi
ness. Mr. Harrison told her that he would do the
printing for one dollar a thousand, with an extra
charge for the actual cost of engraving, the paper,
and other incidental work- To this she agreed.
The woman’s mannerwas plausible, and Mr. Har
rison naturally supposed that the-queer looking
picture was a label for some patent medicine,
oriental balm, fig paste, or other preparation
wherewith to tickle the public. He therefore
closed the fcargin without hesitation or suspicion,
and immediately gave the engraving job to Mr.
Orr, who soon made a perfect duplicate of the
original
The woman, who gave her name as Madam Z.-iif-
ireu, called from time to time to see proof of the
work, and expressed a particular anxiety that the
imitation should be faultlessly exact. She was es-
oecially solicitous about the small circular figure
(the Sultan's name) to lie printed on the back. Mr.
Harrison visited paper dealers in the city to obtain
material similar to that of the lahils, hut without
success and at last he was obligd to resort to the
paper manufactures at Kiugslsnd Mill. Belleville,
New Jersey, who of course readily undertook the
task and turned out an article so near like the Im
perial fabric that it would puzzle a good judge to
tell them apart. Mr. H. then had stereotype plates
made of the engraving and printed the “labels,, in
sheets of twenty each. Everybody around his uf-
ficewas familiar with the work, people going in
and out examined it. and though its strange ap
pearance gave rise to some guessing, nobody for a
moment suspected its real character.
The job was speedily finished, and about the 23d
of July Mr. H. delivered the six hundred thou
sand “labels,” to Madame Zaifmen, who was then
stopping at the Astor House. The documents
made about six reams of paper, anil tilled three
large trunks. She paid him all hi# bill, excepting
three hundred dollars, for which he took her note,,
as she said aim was out of money, and he could do
no better qmh-r the circumstances. This was the
last that he had heard of her or her “labels,” until
8ergeact Bixtiey made Ids visit.
Mr. Harrison showed the Sergeant a large bnn-
dle of the “caimes' —several thousand of them—
which were laid aside by the printers, as not quite
up to the standard of perfection insisted on by
Mr#. Zatlmen, who was evidently a good judge of
the fine arts. The precious bundle was lying a-
round loo#a with other parcels in the office. It
was delivered into the Sergeant's possession, with
all the plates used in the printing. The latter
were piled away with Mr. Harrison’s other stock,
and it was plain that there was no intention what
ever of coucealiiig any of the property.
The Sergeant took Mr. Harrison before the May
or, where he gave bail to answer in the sum of
four thousand dollars.
The Journal of Commerce also publishes the fol
lowing card, addressed to the public by Mr. Har-
risou: The undersigned desires to state, in refer
ence to the charge made by the Turkish consul, of
printing “caimes,” or paper money, such as is
used by the Turkish Government, that he is en
tirely and absolutely innocent of any criminal
knowledge or intent in the whole matter, not hav
ing entertained the remotest suspicion, at the time
tliejob was done, or since, that the printing which
be executed could be put to any illegal use. The
job came to his office apparently in the regular
course ol business; the womau, being a stranger to
him, was told the rules of the office, requiring from
strangers a reference, or an advance payment; she
chose the latter alternative, and the job was putin
hand, and executed as soon as it could convenient
ly be dyne. The “labels’” as she called them, and
which he supposed were to be used ou some nos
trum or article of commerce of eastern origin, from
their beirrg Chinese characters upon them, were
[ printed from the ordinary stereotype plates used
[ by job printers in their business. The wood en
graving was made by Mr. J. \V. Orr, who does ail
the subscriber’s engraving; the plates were electro-
typed where he has all that kind of work done;
tiie paper was made by dealers from whom he pur
chased largely: and tliejob was printed openly in
his office, in the view of strangers, visitors and cus
tomers, having been oil the press some fifteen days
and seen during that time by hundreds of persons,
no concealment or secresy, nor the slightest at
tempt at privacy, being made by him, from the
moment lie made the bargain until tliejob was de
livered at tile Astor House. Indeed, so little did
tin- undersigned suppose he had been doingauy-
thing wrong or illegal in printing this job, tJiat
these “labels," which now prove to he Turkish pa- |
per money, have been lying loose around his of
fice since July last; and a large quantity ot them,
which (lie office hoys had been using as waste pa
per, were on the shelf in full view of the officer
when he came to make the arrest: The electrotype
plates also were in the cupboard with the plates of
all his other customers. There is »othing in the
appearance of these "label#” to lead any one to
suspect they could he used as paper money. They
are about the size of the printed paper that comes
on a pack of Chinese fire crackers, and are partly-
covered with similar characters.
To those who know the subscriber personally,
any assurance of his entire innocence of any
guilty knowledge in the matter, he feels is unnec
essary; but to stranger# and the public at large,
this statement is submitted, to the end that his un
suspicious and innocent connection with tho trans
action may be correctly understood.

THE TEHUANTEPEC ROUTE—SAILING OF
THE COMPANY’S NEW STEAMER SUCllIL.
To decide upon the comparative merits of each of
the respective routes—Panama, Nicaragua, and
Tehauntepec, and say which has the strongest
claim to public favor would be difficult, inasmuch
as each has some physical; or natural objection or
advange, which does not belong to the other. For
instance, the Panama has a safe, quick passage by
Railroad across tire. Isthmus of only a few hours,
but the distance is so much greater than by either
of the others, that this advantage is lost sight of,
and considered of no account.
The Nicaraguan route is claimed to be some 700
miles nearer than the Panama, with fine harbors
on both sides, a delightful climate, and a safe and
easy transit across the Isthmus; and the present
company has by securing, as we stated yesterday,
the two splendid steamers of the Collins line, the
Atlanta and the Baltic, secured for tie- route a most
favorable imptession.
The Tehuantepec, of which we intend to speak
more fully, for the reason that' so little has been
sai l about it, possesses oue great advantage over
both—distance. By this route the distance be
tween New Orleans and San Francisco is said to
be 1,9 Ml. and between New York and the latter
1.4IMI miles less than either of the other. There is
another feature which would seem to commend it
to the public favor, and that is the quiet and effi
cient manner in which the affairs of the company
have been conducted.
Perhaps no enterprise has ever been started and
carried ou more successiully or oue in which so
many practical business men tire to be found —
Mayor Barnard. I . 8. Engineer Corps,assisted by
Mr. IVin. II. Sidell, surveyed the route for the
railroad which is to connect the river steamer with
the ships an the other side.
These gentlemen are too well known in rail
road circles, both at home and abroad, as having
been connected with some of the great engineer
ing enterprises of the day, to require any notice
from os.
Mr. Sidell was for some time the assistant of
Maj. Huges on the Panama Railroad, since then
la- has i cabled fifteen mouths on the Tehuantepec
route, engaged with Major Barnard in surveying
the railroad for this Company, so that he under
stands well the topography and nature of the coun
try.
This company, which has gone so quietly into
operation, is called the "Louisiana Tehuantepec
Company.” It is organized under the general
laiv ot Louisiana, which is similar to the manu
facturing and mining law of this State. The cap
ital is $8,000,000, divided into shares of $100
each. Emile L<- Sere of New Orleans, is Presi
dent: Hargotis Brothers of this city, are agents;
and Senator Benjamin of Louisiana, general attor-
ney.
The company have not issued any stock, hut will
in the course of a few months. The money neces
sary to buy the steamship Quaker City, build the
Suchil—a tine iron steamer for the river, stock the
road with horses, coaches, pay men, agents, and
for all other purposes necessary tojcouimence oper

of the company.

For all these, and other blessings of countless

thanked God for health aud life. You never made
the w orld better for your living. You owe for the
breath you breathe, aud for the strength you enjoy.
You haven't anything to your credit outlie day

Nowhere. You drink, gamble, and chew tobacco,

Report on 'hi state of th~. Atlantic Telegraph Qu
ids.
Lendon September 18.—I arrived at Valentia
on the evening of the5th inst when I found that
no words had for many' days been received
through the Cable from Newfoundland.
On the 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th I tested
the cable at intervals in four different ways to
ascertain its condition. The following are the re-
sults:
I. There is a fault of great magnitude at a dis
tance. of between 245 and 300 statute miles from
Valentia, but the locality cannot be more accu
rately ascertained until a portion of the cable, 20
or 30 miles in iengih. has been tested against my
taudard of resistance and until the log has been
onsultcd to ascertain the amount of slack paid
out. I would suggest that the piece of cable at
Greenwich be carefully measured aud tested a-
gainst my standard, in order to obtain the most
correct estimate of the distance of the fault. As
suming, however, that it is 271) miles, and allow
ing 22 per cent. for slack, it is impossible that
the chief defect is in shallow water—410 fath
oms.
2. The copper wire at the faulty place above
alluded to does not touch the iron covering
of the cable as is proved l>y its forming a valtaic
element, which gives rise to a continuous positive
current from the copper wire varying very little
in tension.
3. Theiusnltation of the wire between Valentia
and the fault is perfect, or at least contains no
defect of sufficient importance to be perceptible
or to materially influence the working were the
cable otherwise perfect.
4. The copper wire is continuous, and conse
quently the cable has not parted. Faint signals
or rehearsals are still received from Newfound-
land, but the power used w ill shortly cat away too

A Day at the Mate But Stops.
A few days ago we made a visit to the shops of
the Western and Atlantic Railroad in this city
for the purpose of getting aii inside view of the
buildings whose exteriors present so imposing ati
an appearance.
In the main passage of the office buildings wo
passed a venerable looKing gentlpman, dressed in
a suit of blue Kentucky Jeans which had evident
ly' “seen some service.” Seeking our esteemed
lriend Mr. IV. II. Barnes, we were by him intro
duced to the present Superintendent, Dr John !v-
Lewis whom we found to be the gentleman we
had before passed, so unpretendingly attired.—
We found him to be a “gentleman of the olden
time”—a stern disciplinarian, but. with a kind
heart.
By him we were escorted through the buildings
making up the workshops and offices where is
conducted all the important business connected
with this great State work. • Commencing with
the transfer of freight, we were shown the arrange
ments for keeping all the property not in use,
safe from the effects of the weather, and the dep
redations of the mischievous. Returning we
were taken to the wood shop, a building oue hun
dred and forty feet in length and sixty in breadth
ivhere some stock cars ot superior and improved
construction are being built, preparatory to the
trade of the coming winter. Passing through an
open space, we next entered the Blacksmith shop
on - hundred and twenty feet long and forty feet
wide, where there arc twelve furnaces, ten of
which are in almost constant use. The most uo-
ticable features of this department are a steam
(or tilt) hammer, used to draw and weld heavy
iron and an air generator. Avery large axle was
being welded at the time. The air generator oc
cupies about six feet square in one corner of the
Smith Shop, and is powerful enough to create a
blast, at each forge. At right angles with these
two shops is the Machine or finishing shop, two
hundred feet long and sixty feet wide, which is
furnished with every implement necessary to per
form work from the most minute repairs to the
building ofan Engine. In proof of this, we saw
part ofan Engine which had been commenced
by the former superintendant, on which about
three thousand dollars worth of work had been
lone, but is left unfinished because not needed.—
and foundry, each fifty feet long and forty feet
wide.
From the finishing shop we emerge into the
Round House, which is two hundred and fifty feet
diameter. This is a splendid specimen of archi
tectural design and mechanical execution. Here
one becomes appaled. almost, as the eye wanders
over the various machines which are housed there
and contemplates their wondrous power. Here
were some ready for duty—others undergoing re
pairs and one or two worn out and condemned.—
In the centre-is the turning table,so perfect in its
construction, that with an engine upon it of twen
ty tons weight, or more, it maybe turned by a
boy.
At the end of tho finishing shop which connects
with the Wood shop are the Pattern and supply
room, and the office where the accounts are kept
with the Engines, showing the amount of labor
performed, and the number of miles rim by each
ry cord of wood,-quart of oil and pound of
tallow.
Leaving the Round House wo came to the De
pot and main office building. The whole struc
ture is one hundred and sixty feet long and forty
wide. From the western end. which is nearest
he Round House, there risesa building three
tories, or nearly fifty feet high, and containing
welve rooms, four on each floor, leaving the Do

Plantation work for October.
Cotton Ricking.—This is still the pressing bus
iness of the plantation for this month, and every
moment should be devoted to it that can be spar
ed from other urgent work that must necessarily
receive the planters attention. Pick trow with all
available force, while the weather is dry and warm
as ere long the short days -of whrter, -with the
chilling winds, will be upon you, when cotton
picking becomes a tedious and disagreeable busi
ness.
Corn and Pens.-—The housing of these crops is
a part •of (be urgent work alluded to above, and
should now bc’-Rttetided to as soon a# possible, as
much waste resohe from allowing them to remain
longer in the field. It is quite an object iu this
country—by which wo mean the cotton ritates—
to put up com in such's way as to protect it from
the ravages of the weevil. This however, can
never be accomplished with anj' degree of certain
ty, until our planters get in the habit-of construc
ting corn houses that will first protect their coru
from rats. Whatever of care and attention maj - be
necessary for the construction of a barn or bin, for
the protection of your wheat, not less, surely,
should be devoted to the construclion’ot your corn
houses, for the protection of your corn—to the
planter a much more valuable grain.
Pick j oui peas and put them up in a close bouse
in tiie bull and dry, and the weevil will do them
little or no injury. Pick and weigh them up care
fully as youdo yonr cotton: at planting time j’ou
will get a bushel for every 100 pounds.
Sweet potatoes—This crop should be housed to
wards (be close of this month. There is an old
Indian notion prevalent among,planters of Indian
origin, we suppose, that “frost should kill the
vines first.” It is -immaterial in what way you
put up your potatoes; you -have no guarantee that
they w ill keep sound if the vines be killed by frost
before j'ou dig them. Frost, sufficiently hard to
kill the vines, will freeze the surface of the earth
to a sufficient depth to chill and seriously injure
many of the roots. Do not delay digging bejond
the 20tli in this latitude.

The Ohio State Douse on Fire—Loss of valua
ble Documents.
About 5 o’clock yesterday morning those of our
citizens residing iu the viciuitj- of the -State Capi
tal buildings were aroused by the alarm of fire,
given by the workmen on the artesian well in the
State House yard It was discovered that the
basement room in the Northeast corner of the
building, directly under the office of the. Secretary
of State, and used by the Secretary as aslurerooni,
and by workmen as a paint shop, was being rapidly
enveloped in flames. A few minutes after the first
alarm the steam fire engine was on the ground,
and was soon followed by the “Capitol” machine,
both of which poured a tremendous stream of water
through the windows, the steam engine on the
north side and the Capitol on the east.”
An immense volume of smoke escaped through
the two windows, followed by sheets of fire, leap
ing up into the very faces of the fiiemeu, making
it extremelj' difficult to reach thepoint from which
the flames arose, as all the avenues loading to the
room were locked aud full of smoke. A large pile
of stationery, wrapping and printing paper, in a
corner of the subterranean room, was wrapped in
flames, and it was a I most impossible to reach it
with water.
But the strenuous exertions of the firemen were
successful, and the flames succumbed after an
hour’s bard work. The room was opened, but for
some minutes was hot as a furnace. The stationerj-
iu the room, valued at about $400, was totally
destroj'ed. Almost $300 worth of heavy glass,
jnst placed in the room the day before, was a total
loss. Considerable painting apparatus and raw
materials, valued at from $200, to $300, belonging
to the contractor, Hamilton Cummings of Cincin
nati. w ere destroyed.
Five or six hundred volumes of public doc

of documents from the first organization of the
Territorial government to the present time, were
totally ruined. These documents were of great
value as records, and it will he impossible to
replace them. Their real value is incalculable,

The Carnival of Crinoline.
We have been especially favored during the
past mouth with the most delicious weather that
has ever been experienced, even within the memory
of that somewhat mj-thical individual, the oldest
inhabitant. A clear sky, an ambient atmosphere,
cool daj s and magnificent nights go far to Beep us
all iu good humor; while Ceres and Flora shower
their gifts in profusion for the delectation of the
gormot's palate, or the adornment of the boudoir of
ladies iarr. The artery of commerce and fashion,
Broadway, flows from morning till night with a
human tide, affording a splendid study for the phi
losopher, the lounger, the myralist and the philan
thropist. Everj fcodj’ seems to have forgotten the
crisis aud the revulsion and the stagnation of last
year; and by the accounts of the Broadway shop
keepers, wl*o saj" that the richest and dearest fab
rics find the readiest, market, it would seem that the
lessons ot economy which were inculcated by the
hard tim^s have vanished like words written in
the sands of the sea-shore. We are aware that
much of the activity of the retail trade in articles
of luxury is ow ing to the great influx of 8ouherneis
who have been driven away from their homes by
the yellow fever. They have filled up the hotels
to an unprecedented extent aud rolled no end of
dollars zuto the pockets -of tie landlords. But
deeper than this southern surplusage there are
signs of a lively season in tie world of fashion
and folly. IVe have three periods in the fashiona
ble world. In the summer months New York is
comparatively deserted' for Saratoga, Newport,
and other resorts of the votaries of pleasure. In
September, October, aud November the metrop
olis again becomes the iieadquarters of the beau
THoeile, which includes people with more money
than brains, people with braius arid no money, anil
people without either brains or money. They are
all here now. In December they will flit away to
Washington, which city will be unusually gay
this season. It is the short season of Congress,
and all tin- dining, wining, fliriing, dancing, and
so on, will have to be done in a great hurry. In
April we shall have them all in Broadw ay again,
ready for the spring and summer campaign. Thus
we have the metropolis as the headquarters of
fashion, as it is of commerce, the mechanic arts,
literature, and the fine arts. Just now we are all
iu glorious condition, and laugh at old Jupiter
I’lnviuswho has made three several attempts to
spoil our sjtorts by getting up an equinoctial
storm; lint they have all been inferable failures.
Some people say it is all owing to the comet. If
so. some demonstration of admiration to the illus
trious stranger would he in older. Iu ihe old
times the comet was an unw elcome visitor, being
regarded as a forerunner of evil; but that is an
exploded humbug. If, now, the cornet has revived
trade tilled up the hotels, kept off the equinoctial,
and set all the aristocracy—codfish, pork, and
otherwise—in a flutter of expectation, then we saj’,
hurrah for the comet, as a first-rate institution!
Let the comet blaze awhile longer if the weather
holds fair.

\ tention was directed to the Truck for Engines,
w ith outside bearings, whereby an Engine, will
run enough more miles with one oiling, to ac
complish a saving in oil of about uinetj’ per
cent.
()ne fiftv-horse-power stationery Engine drives
all the machinery in this magnificent establish
ment. It is a beautiful piece of mechanical skill
and runs with so little noise and jar as to excite
wonder—in fact did one not see it, its proximity
would hardly he realized. This is stationed about
the centre of one side the Finishing Room, aud ad
joining the Smith Shop.
IVe were shown, in the Finishing Room a new
switch, the invention of Mr. Mark M. Dooly,
which has been patented by him. It is a combina
tion of the Switch and Frog, and is accounted an
important invention for Railroads. Mr. Dooly,
by merit, has been advanced from Lumber Train
■conductor to an important and responsible position
on the Road.
To provide against the destruction by fire of
these immense and costly buildings, everj - precau
tion has been taken of which human foresight is
capable. Near the centre, in a small brick house
and occupying but tittle space, is a small but pow
erful lire engine worked by steam, fitted with
hose, which discharges a stream one inch and oue-
cighth in ciameter Six fire plugs distributed in
different convenient and exposed places, with a
supply of hose, afford a control of all parts of the
property. As a general thing a stream could be
played upon a tire on the premises within ten
minutes from the time of the alarm. An oppor-
tunitj- was courteously offered us of witnessing
the performance of this “little giant” by Dr. Lewis
in much less time than that mentioned, it was dis
charging a horizontal stream to the distance of
about oue hundred and twenty-five feet, and tlien
was turned upon llie majestic smoke stack, which
is considerably over one hundred feet high, over
which it threw water with the greatest ease.—
There is always at command a s.,-. hours’ supply
of water, within fifty feet of the engine, and a
further supply w ithin an available distance, to be
added by means of machinery should the above be
exhausted.
I bus it will be seen that everj thing possible to
be done has been done, to perfect the outfit oper
ations. Its entire arrangements are upon a scale
with the interest at stake, and reflect the highest
credit upon the projectors. It is to be deplored
tlii: its management prior to the present Admin-
| istration has led our people to regard it with such
decided disfavor.
IVe undertook this discription that our people,
aud others interested, might know the extent and
value of this propertj'. The information we
sought was freely supplied bj - the venerable and
courteous Superintendent and the other officials, j K ir0 ^ e i( c if thev please
all of whom evinced the greatest readiness to im-1 i; zad >> ’
part all required for our purpose. Although less j
perfect and full than we might desire, our des
cription maj- serve our design. It is all our lim
ited time and knowledge could accomplish.
It is proper probably, to remark that, our visit
was dictated lij’ no selfish or partizan purpose.—
Ourselves and the Governor and those under him
who have immediate charge of the Road, are inde-

ble and, consequently, into the test w ire, the elec-
tricily burnt through the incision, rapidly burning
a hole nearlj - one tenth of an inch in diameter.
When the lull force of the coils was brought to
bear on the test wire by removing them from the
cable and allowing the electricity only one chan
nel—viz;
That of the test wire—the discharges, as might
he expected, burnt gutta perelia under the water
halt an inch in length, and the burnt gutta perelia
came floating up to the surface.
The foregoing experiments prove that when
there are imperfections in the insulating covering
there is verj great danger arising from using such
intense currents.
The size of the present conducting strand is too
small to have worked satisfactorily, even had the
insulation been sound. With a strand of larger
dimensions less intense currents would be requir
ed, and both speed and certainty increased.
It is not, however, altogether impossible that
some intelligible signals may yet be received
through the cable, as stated in my previous com
munication. C. F. VARLEY,

IVe refer the sympathisers with Judge Douglas
iu the South, and law-abiding citizens evervwli ’iv,
to the follow ing article from the “Kansas Herald
of Freedom” of the 2d iust..
“Toe Trek Position'.—Senator Dougin*, in
our opinion, expresses the true mode tor the
people of the Territories to meet the Dred Scott de
cision He said on the 24th of August last, in a
public speech:
"In my opinion, the people of a Territory can by
lawful means exclude slavery before it comes in as
a slave State. Whatever the Supreme Court may
decide as to the abstract question of w hello r slav-
erj* may go iu under the constitution or not, the
people oi' a Territory have the lawful means to ad
mit or exclude slavery.
“Slavery cannot exist a day anywhere, unless
supported bj' local police regulations. These reg
ulations can only he furnished by the local legis
lature.
“The legislature of Kansas cannot neglect, at
its next session, to take away such local legisla
tion as now encourages or gives protection to
slavery. It will do more: 1twill throw pains and
penalties around the institution; it will give, to the
negro the right to defend his person from assaults
upon him by his master; it will, in short, make
hun a freeman, and that without provision or re
compense! The underground rail road will be
throw n upon the surface. Those holding slave
property in Kansas are urged to consider this as
for it will surely be rea-
pendent of each other. We cannot perceive that
because we have been aud are now opposed tojthe
Governor and his partj' he represents, his Bank
Vetoes and principles, and denounced the manage
ment prior to this Administration, that we are to
be suspected on the one hand of bending the knee
to power, or to he prevented on the other, from
speaking approvingly when more correctly man
aged.
IVe alwaj-s believed the Road should pay; it is
doing it. if the superintendent is to be believed,
and no one doubts his capacity or his integrity.—
It is demonstrated that it will paj’, and now it
becomes the people, if they retain the ownership of
it, to hold each successive Administration, no
matter by what name called, to at least its pres
ent point of net profits.

The actual resistance of the fault appears to he
at least equal to ten miles of the cable but is most
probably greater.
Taking it at its lowest resistance, viz., 10 miles
and assuming that Newfoundland is only using
1811 ceils of Daniels battery, the strongest current
received thence during my stay was only 1 24
part of the force that it should be were there but
this one fault. When it, however, is borne in
mind that ou the other side they are probably
using more power and also that the detect first
alluded to probably offers more resistance than
that assumed viz.,T<) miles it is evident that there
is another and more distant fault, the approxi
mate locality of which 1 could not pretend to es
timate at this end without being able to speak to
Newfoundland.
From authentic data sliowu to me at Valentia
I am of opinion that there was a fault on board
the Agamemon. before the cable was submerged
at a distance of about 563 miles from one end and
640 from the other.
He here enters into elaborate staterm-nts
and calculations, of no interest to the public
reader:
The inference by rough calculation, t'nerefoie is
that there was a fault offering a resistance equal
to 1,001) or 1,209 miles of cable situated at a dis
tance of about 56)1 miles from one cad of the 1,290-
mile coil on board the Agamemon
Tins, however, cannot be the fault first alluded
to, situated at about 270 miles from Valentia, but
may have been the oue which caused such alarm
when the ships were 500 miles from Ireland, and
when the signals ceased altogether and never cer
tainly recovered.
It is not at all improbable that the powerful cur
rents from the large induction coils have impaired
the insulation, and that had more moderate power
been used the cable would still have been capable
of transmitting messages.
To satisfy rnj’self on this point I attached to the
cabie a piece of gutta percba-covered wire, having
•eds, by about one- first made a slight incision iu the gutta pcicha to
iet tho water reach the wire, the wire was bent so
as to close up the defect. The defective wire was

The Judge's prescription for annulling the Di ed
Scott decision is doing its work in Kansas. The
opponents of the constitution and the law are
now changing front, and seem determined to abol
ish slavery through ti e agency of the territorial
legislature, and in the manner suggested by Judge
Douglas. They are no longer anxious for imme
diate admission into the Union, as will be seen by
the following, on the subject of the organization
of a State government, which we extract from the
sanic paper:
“This cannot he in less than a year and a quar
ter from this time It would be impossible to pro
vide fora new convention, cnlljthut body together,
frame a new constitution, and present it to Con
gress, and get it ratified hy that bndjq after hav
ing been ratified by the people of Kansas, between
the meeting of the territoritial legislature in Jan
uary next, and the adjournment of Congress on
the Ith of March following, in two months from
the convening ot the legislature in January, to the
meeting of the next Congress in December, (being
eleven months,) in which provide for and make a
new constitution. There being ample time, we l
shall expect to see a good constitution framed.—
iluring ail that time the object of the free-Siate j
partj' has not ‘been achieved,” and he who is a j
member of that party is guilty of treason to it who j
attempts to overthrow it.”
It is marvellous how quickly the seeds of disloy- ;
alty to the constitution germinates and takes root j
in the soil of “republicanism.” Judge Douglas’s |
incendiary fires have tairly illuminated the old j
Topeka councils, and we are promised a great deal 1
of hard work to extinguish tln m. But they will
only burn up the rubbish and purify the atmos
phere. Tiny will be put out !—llasbiagton Union.
Sale of the State Rond.—Tiie Grand Jury of Cobb
county, (panelsof both weeks) protest against the
sale of the State Road, but favor the appropriation
of the uet proceeding to educational purposes.
We would suggest as good polity for the State,
that as long as the Road pays into the Treasury, as
it is doing now, with the prospects ahead of i f s
paying still more into the Treasury, it would be
well enough to keep it. We doubt much whether
bank stocks, or any other property will ever paj'
the State a better dividend than the Road in ail
time to come will pay.—Empire. State.
The Crab Cholera.—We learn that a large num- 1
her of'our citizens havo recently been attacked
by a violent form of cholera morbus, caused hy
eating crabs. From what cause we are unable
to say, this shell fish has had imparted to it of iate
some noxious property, that makes it certainly
unfit for food. We know several cases of short
hut severe sickness that occurred from the use of
them in the last week, and a phj’sician informed
us j'esterday that he had heard of no less than one

Pehrt Davis—Sir :—Although personally a stran
ger to you, yet the benefits I have received from the
use of your invaluable remedy, the Pain Killer, induces
me to pen a word of praise for it, mid gratitude to you
its inventor. I have tried a score of patent medicine*
of various kinds, mid consider the Pain Killer the very
best of its kind ill use. It is not a panacea for all the
ills flesh is heir to, but it is certainly a grand specific for
many diseases. Two years experience lias convinced
me that for Headache, Indigestion, Pain in the Stom
ach. or in any other part of the system, Severe Chills,
Weariness, Common ('olds, lloaiteness, Cledera,
Cholera Morbus, Diarrhoea, Dysentery, Tooth-Aehr;
ike&c., there is nothing In Her than the Pain Killer.
I have this hour recovered from a sev< re altuek of the
Sira Headache, by using two tcnspoonsful, taken at
thirty minutes interval, inn wine glass full of warm
water. I am confident that, through the blessing of
Go* , it saved tne from the Cholera during the summer
of J S19. Travelling in Connecticut niidMnssaehusct's,
amid heat, dust, toil, change of diet and constant ex
[sistire to an infected atmosphere, my system was daily
predisposed to dysentery attacks, accompanied with
pain, lor which the I’ain Killer was u sovurigu
remedy: one tenspoonfiil curing the worst ease ill a'*
hour, or at most, half u day! My brothers iu the minis'
try have used it with n.iieli success in various disease#-
1 have heard many cases Ihe eountiy over, of Dysen
tery being cured by its use. Put in the teeth, it would
solp the tooth-ache in several minutes*
Gratitude, mid u desire for its genera! use, has drawn
from me this unsolicited testimonial in its favor. T!>®
Pain Killer is a blessing to mankind, and needs but ti>
bo known to be admired. May yon be richly reward
ed as hs distinguished inventor.
Yours respectfully,
14 St. with constant gratitude,
