The steamship “Prof. Morse liaB •completed the laying of the sub-ma. riue cable between Key West andlun- ta Rnssa. The line works finely. The statioa house at No. 9, A. & G. R. R. (Tebeauville) has been under pinned and re-covered—so says the Way cross editor of the Times. Strange those Gulf Road folks will be so raughty. Why not let the old thing .go to pieces and accept the nice, com modious station house at Waycrossi the junction of the roads V The good people of that place have built a good one and offered it to both roads. The B. & A. is ready to use it. Wonder why the A. & G. is not? The British ship Western Empire, from Pensacola to Liverpool, sprung a leak and sunk at sea on the morning of the 14th tilt., when about one hun dred and thirty miles from the coast of Florida. The ship and cargo were valued at $62,000. The crew aban doned the vessel, took to the long boat and reached to within two miles of the beach of St. Vincent’s Island, when the boat capsized and the second mate and six of the crew were drown ed. The remaining men, seventeen in number, clung to the keel of the boat and finally drifted to shore. Cupt. Hobbs, master of the Western Em pire, died at Pensacola, and the ship was in the charge of the first mate at the time of the disaster.—Key of the Gulf, The Palmetto Guard, of Charleston, S.

They say : “The differences which threatened the Union are ended—rettled, we liope> now and forever. War, we trust, wil not divide those whose welfare is to be at peace with each other. The first century of our political existence is near its close. In the glorious remi niscences which ushered it in let us B eek to bury the demon of discord.’’— The Montezuma Weekly tell of a frog that was cemented up in the brick work of a bridge over Flint river in this State by Mr. Wm. Fay, bridge builder of the S<>utnwestern R. R* It regained in its cemented cell twelve years, having been put there by Mr. F. in 1863, os an experiment when ♦building the bridge. The Weekly con cludes its remarks with the following: Wlitiii cynfined to th U repository of its twelve years inactivity it reposed in an indenture of its shape and size formed in the soft mortar by its weight, which had long since resolved into the consistency of stone, and when released by an incision into the structure a few days ago, the frog from its confinement, .leaving the murk of its shape which had thus har dened into adamant around him.
