1 The Atlantic Cable—lmportant Report.
1 Mn. l.oiTOK—.Sir: lam instructed by the Direc- J
I tors to forward for publication the annexed report .
rom Mr. Yuriev, tbe electrician to the Electric ai,d
International telegraph Company. He is one of
the gentlemen who has been consulted by the

REPORT OS THE STATE OF THE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH
CABLE.
LONDON, September 13.
I arrived at Valencia on the evening of the stb
inst., when I found that no words had fox many
days'been received through tbe cable from New
foundland. , ... ...
On the *jth, 7tb, 3th, 9tb and jOth I tested the
cable at intervals in four different ways to ascer
tsiu ns condition. The following are the results :
1. There is a fault of great magnitude at a dis
tance of between two hundred and forty-fire and
three hundred statute miles from Valencia, hut the
locality cannot be more accurately ascertained un
til a portion of tbe cable, twenty or thirty miles in
length, has been tested agsinst my standard of re
sistance, und until the log has been consulted to
ascertain the amount of slack paid out. I would
suggest that the piece of cable at Greenwich be
carefully measured and tested against my standard,
in order to obtain the most correct estimate of the
distance of the fault. Assuming, however, that it
is two hundred and seventy miles, and allowing
twenty-two per cent, for slack, it is possible that
tile chief defect is in shallow water—four hundred
and ten fathoms.
‘i. The copper wire at the faulty place above al
luded to does not touch the iron covering of ib<-
i cable, as is proved by its forming a voltaic ele
ment, whi'eh gives rise to a continuous positive
current from the copper wire varyiug very little
[ In tension.
S. The insulation of the wire between Valencia
. and the fault is perfect, or at leas: contains no dc
, (bet of aufHcifcul importance to be perceptible *or
,to materially influence the working were < the cuble
otherwise perlect.
1. The copper wire is continuous, and conse
iquentlythe cable has not parted. Faint signals,
• or reversals, are still received from Newfoundland,
b«i the power used will shortly eat away the ex
posed eopper wire in the faulty place by electro
■ lytic decomposition.
The actual resistance of the fault appears to bo
. at least equal to ten miles of the cable, but Is most
probably greater.
I Taking it at its lowest resistance, viz: teD miles,
I sod assuming that Newfoundland is only using
one hundred and eighty cells ol' Daniel's battery,
, the strongest current received thence during my
; stav was only 1-iMih part of tha force that it should
. hs ware there but this one fault. When it is, how
ever, borne in mind that on the other side they
’ are prububly using more power, und also lhat the
’ defect flrstsllnded to probably oilers more resis
' lance tliuu that assumed, viz : ten miles, it is evi
dent that there is another and more dislunt fault,
the approximate locality of which I could not pre
, lend to estimate at this end without being able to
. speak to Newfoundland.
From authentic data shown to me at Valencia I
am of opinion that there was a fault on Imard the
Agamemnon, before the cable was submerged, at
a distance ol about five hundred and sixty miles
from one end uud six hundred and forty from the
other.
The following ure the </.tfci in question, but on
what occasion they were obtained I am unable to
stale. They were, however, probably taken when
the ships were at Queenstown :

When two hundred miles had been removed

Indicating considerable leakage on board the Aga
memnon.
I am also informed that the currents through
the cable, eren immediately after it was submerg
ed, were so weskthst relays were useless, and that
not one perfect message Was recorded by them,
everything Hist was received being reud from the
deflections ofa galvanometer.
By comparing the above data with those of the
new cubic now making by Messrs. Glus.se and
Klliott for theKlectric und International Telegraph
Compunv, the amount ot current which entered
the one thousand miles of cable when disconnected
al one end, should not have exceeded 2or 2 - 5
parts instead of 7 5 and S'o parts.
The inference by rough calculation, therefore,
is that there was a fault offering a resistance equal
to one thousand or one thousand two hundred
miles of cable situated nt a distance, about five
hundred and sixty miles from one end of the one
thousand two litiudred mile coil ou board the
Agamemnon.
Tins, however, cauuot be the fault first alluded
to, situate at about two hundred and seventy miles
from Valencia, but may have been the one which
caused such alarm wlien the ships were five hun
dred miles from Ireland, and when the signals
ceased altogether, and never certainly recovered.
It is not at all improbable that the jiowerful cur
rents Iroin the large induction coils have impaired
the insulation; and that, had more moderate pow
er been used, the cable would still have been ca
pable of transmiting messages.
To satisfy myself on this point, I attached to the
cable a piece oigutta percha-covered wire, having
first made a slight incisiou tu the gutta percha to
let the water reach the wire; the wire was then
bent so as to close up the defect. The defective
wire was Iheu placed in a jug of sea Water, and
Ihe latter connected with the “earth.” After a few
aignals had been sent from the induction coils in
to the cable, aud, consequently into the test wire,
the electricity burnt through the incision, rapidly
burning a hole nearly one-tenth of un inch in di
ameter.
Wheu the full 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-vis: that of the test wire-the discharges, as
might be expected, burnt a hole in the gutta pet
eha under the water half an inch in leugth, and
the burnt gutta perelia came floating up to the sur
face.
The foregoing experiments prove that when
there are imperfections in the insulating covering
there is very great danger arising from using such
intense eurreuts.
The size ot the present conducting strand is too
small to have worked satisfactorily, even had the
insulation keen sound. With a strand of larger
dimensions less lutense currents would be reejuir
ed, and bt th speed and certainty increased.
It is uot however, altogether impossible that
some intelligible signals may yet be received
inrough the cable, as stated in tuj previous com
munication. ' c. K. Varlev.

I observe a paragraph in the OovrUr of the 2.lth

made her appearance at Savannah a short time
ago. She bad just previously to that per.rd land

A terrific explosion of the gunpowder at " h.
Polinin de Manna,” (naval powder magazine ) near
this city, took place on the afternoon of the 29th
ult. The magazine was situated at the head of
this harbor, a little to the Southward of Fort
Atares. The magazine contained one hundred
and fifty thousand pounds of gunpowder, four
hundred grenades, one hundred and fifty of which
were charged, and four hundred Congreve rockets.
A ltHle to the Eastward of the magazine a long
range of stone storehouses, called the ” Planters’
Storehouses,” were being erected, which, with the
magazine, were (except some eighty or a hundred
feet of stone wall) totally demolished.
The number of lives sacrificed is not correctly
known to the public, but are generally believed to
exceed three hundred. Eighty-six, seriously
wounded, were immediately taken to the military
hospital, where all that science or humanity could
dictate was done for their relief. The Captain-
General, General Manzano, Segunda Cabo, and
.Brigadier Echararria, Political, were immediately
at the scene of the disaster, giving aid and com
mands for the relief of those beneath the ruins.
I regret to state the work of examining the ruins
was not afterwards carried on with that energy
that might have been expected. Three or four
days after the explosion, a little dog was obserred
Matching at the'stones and whining at a particu
lar spot. A few large stones were remored, and
beneath them was found the ilog’a master, a car
penter, alive, but with one of his legs shockingly
crushed, five or six days after the explosion,
another man was taken alive out of the nuns, and
I believe he still lives.

The Mosquito Fleet—What it will have
to Contend with in Paraguay.
A correspondent of the New York Journal of
Oommeree, who appears to be well informed in re
gard to matters connected with the expedition to
Paraguay, savs;
“ One would suppose, from the urticles publish
ed in the newspapers, that this Paraguay expedi
tion wus to be a sort of u holiday excursion, and
that all this Mosquito fleet had to do was to
steam up the river to the capital of Paraguay, and
to batter down a fort or two. Now, it is as well
to state what this expedition will really have to
encounter, in case Isipez refuses to accede to the
demands which will be made by the United States,
through Judge Bowlin. So far from President
liopez having the most remote idea of acceding to
these demands, it is thought by those who ought
to know, that Judge Bowlin will not be allowed to
enter Paraguay Territory, but will be received at
the extrme southern limits of the Republic, and
sent back from whence he came.
“ There is little probability that Lopez will per
mit a Hteamer to ascend the river, and thereby
give those on board an opportnmty to view his
means of defense, and even should he be ever so
willing, it is not likely that he will remove the
obstructions, which will be placed in the river, be
fore Judge Bowlin’s arrival. The river will be
extensively boomed uud chained. Extensive earth
works are being constructed, it is well known,
along both banks of the river, and before reaching
Assumption, the Heet (supposing them able to re
move ilie obstructions in the river, and dismantle
the earth-work batteries) will have to silence a
fort, or redoubt, mounting forty heavy guns. In
approaching this redoubt, the fleet of steamers
must receive a raking fire for the distance of half
u mile. This redoubt is placed on an elevation of
sixtv feet above the level of the river. Suppose,
then, the possibility of passing the above redoubt,
the Mosquito lleot has nothing more to do but re
duce a fort, a short distance South of Assumption,
that mounts sixty-four guns, forty-two pounders.
This fort is also on elevated ground, being one
hundred feet above the level of the river. Oppo
site this fort there are two channels, one along either
embankment, there being a shoal in the middle of
the river, ami the American vessels being in the
channel on the opposite side to the fort, will not
be able, through the narrowness of the river, to
bring their guus to bear, as too great an elevation
will be required. '
“To reduce the above defenses, the United States
send a few steamers which are to tow ra/te up the
river, on which rafts guns of a heavy calibre nre
to be placed, and the men who work the guns will
be exposed to the swarm of nfiemen who line the
river. Paraguay can easily raise an army of thirty
five thousand men, who are far superior to the
Mexican troops. The American expedition can
land one thousand two hundred men, and out of this
number there will be but three hundred men who
are disciplined Soldiers,and these are the marines.
To reduce the redoubts and forts alluded to it will
be necessary to carry them by land, and to do so,
a large infantry and'artillery force will be neces
sary. At least four thousand men will be required,
with a proper siege train. The expertness of the
mounted Paraguayans with the lasso is well known,
and as cavalry they are very formidable. In case
the expedition fails, as it will be almost sure to do
unless properly reinforced, it caunot be said that
proper care was not taken in the organization of
the force, as we have all read a great deal about
the care with which the expedition was being or
ganised, particularly in the selection of ofheers,
and it will be a great pity to have the expedition
fail for want of infantry soldiers. This cannot be
a naval battle, but a struggle on land, six hundred
iniies from the ocean.”
Indian News. —We hare been allowed theperu
sat of a letter from Mr. Fletcher, dated Miami,
Fla., Oct. Ist, and addressed to Ins son in this
place, from which we extract the following:
"We had a visit, Sept, 19th and 20th, from
Tiger Tail’s party o’lndians, fifteen in number,
including lmnseif—thirteen men and two boys.
They are all peaceable and express a wish to con
tinue so. Three of the young Indians could read
and write and calculate in dollars and cents.
They are determined to remain in Florida: they
nave plenty of money, and say that all the money
in the United States will not bribe them to leave
here. They wish to settle themselves down and
live in peace, to be governed by the laws and pro
tected bv the laws.'
We are informed that many are engaged in
clearing land about six miles front the residence of
Mr. Fletcher. AH the Indians are now in the
eastern part of the Everglades, engaged in the
cultivation of arrowroot.

Mr. Keed iu China—The Policy ol his
Mission.
The New York Tribune justly compliments Mr.
Reed for the manner in which he has discharged
the hi*'h and delicate trust confided to him by the
President. That paper thus indirectly—for Mr.
Reed acted under specific instructions from Gen.
Cass—compliments the Administration :
•‘Mr. Keed, on his arrival, fotiud the great body
of the American residents hot for joining in the
English war against Canton. We have ourselves
repeatedly delefided him tor not- yielding to this
foolish clamor, and the justification which it.is let
ter puts in for his keeping out of that war seem
entirely conclusive.”
He had no power to yield to any clamor which
might demand his co-operation with the belliger
ent States against China. Gen. Cass, in his letter
of instructions to Mr. Reed, said:
“ The objects which it is understood the allies
seek to accomplish by treaty stipulations are:
“1. To procure from the'Cbinese government a
recognition of the right of other powers to have
accredited ministers at the court of Pekin, to be
received by Emperor, and to be in communication
with the authorities charged with the foreign
affairs ot the empire.
"2. An extension of commercial intercourse
with China, which is now restricted to five ports
enumerated in the treaty.
“ 3. A reduction of the tariff of duties levied up
on domestic produce in its trsnsit from the interior
to the coast, as the amount now imposed is said
to be a violation of the treaty.
“ On this subject vou will be able to ascertain
the true state of the'alleged grievance when you
reach China, and to act accordingly.
“4. A stipulation for religious freedom to all
foreigners iu China.
“5. An arrangement for the suppression of pi
racy.
“4. Provision for extending the benefits of the
proposed treaty to all the other civilised powers
of the earth.
“These objects are recognised by the President
as just and expedient; and, so far as you can do
so bv pcucelul co-operation, he expects that you
will aid in their accomplishment.”
“ This country, you will constantly bear in
mind, is not at war with the government of Chi
na, nor does it seek to enter that empire for any
other purposes than those of lawful commerce,
and for the protection of the lives and property of
its citizens. The whole nature and policy of our
government must necessarily confine our action
within these limits, and deptivc us of all motives,
either for territorial aggrandizement or the acqui
sition ot political power in that distant region. ’
This is the language of Mr. Reed’s instructions;
and it is well known that the policy of the Presi
dent in respect to the neutrality of our envoy has
never been modified.
On the 10th of April last Gen. Cass addressed a
note to Lord Nupier on the subject, from which we
make this explicit extract:
“The United .States have not been exempt from
similar aggressions, (alluding to alleged grie
vances of the British in China,) and have had cau
ses of complaint also for the injuries which their
citizens have received in China; but these have
been generally adjusted by the Chinese authorities,
or redress has been the prompt action
of our officers, bo that my immediate predecessor
felt himselfjustified in saying to ourcommissioner
in China, 111 a despatch of February 27, 1357,
that our relations with that country did not war
rant a lesort to war, even if the President could
constitutionally have recourse to that extreme
measure.
“A careful examination of the reports and
despatches in this department leads me to concur
iu this opinion.”
We have taken so much pains to applv the com
plimentary language of the Tribune to the admin
istration, which, as that paper will readily see, is
entited to the credit of whatever good has come
out of the peaceful policy of the government iu
reference to the Celestial Empire. We do not in
tend in this to reflect upon Mr. Reed. lie has act
ed with gaeat good sense, and to the entire satis
faction, we have no doubt, of the President. It is
well, however, since the public journals of the
day are publishing lengthy accounts from China,
and concur in awurding Mr. Reed exclusive credit
for what is certainly due to the admirable policy
of the administration, that they should be referred
to the record.
from the Charlt ati'ii Courier, Oct. 13.
Later from Mexico.
We are indebted to purser Mahoney, of the
Isabel, and to our Havana exchanges, for transmit
ting the following reports of interesting and im
pornvnt details from Mexico, as related by passen
geis m ihe Solent, which arrived at Havana with
Vera Cruz dates of the 3rd iustaot.
The British steamer Solent, Lewis,, left Vera
Cruz on the 3rd instant, at 12 M. At 7 A. M. in
the morning, the Oturier Extraordinary arrived
from the City of Mexico, with news that General
Vulauri had been defeated by General Miraman,
near San Louis. loiter news reports that he had
captured one thousand prisoners and several pieces
of artillery,
At BA. if., another courier arrived from Vera
Cruz, stating That Vidauri had defeated Miraman,
and that the latter had blown his brains out in
despair. The latter is the story of the Liberal
party. There is no doubt but that a battle lias
been fought between the above Generals, and
that General G. Vidauri has met with reverses.
The Solent has brougfit the news from Tampico
that Governor Garza, of the Liberal parly, general
commanding at Tampico, has levied a contribu
tion on all foreigners there, amounting to one hun
dred thousand dollars; and failing to raise tne
same, had imprisoned a large number of Spaniards
and American citizens. These were retained in
prison thirtv-eight hours, without anything to eat
or drink, and were liberated on promising to raise
the amount, one hundred thousand dollars. A
number tied to the English steamer Solent, then
in harbor, and the Spanish Consul took refuge on
board a Spanish vessel-of-war, lying off Tampico.
His family took refuge on board the tngash
steamer Solent, and were landed at Havana.
The whole*afikir is considered a great outrage,
and important dispatches are on the way from the
Consul at Tampico for Washington, as also im
portant dispatches from our Mimster, Mr. torsvtn,
at Mexico.
The rest of the belligerent forces remain as per
last news. . ... ..
Lieut. Jones, of sloop-ot-war Plymouth, is the
bearer of dispatches for Washington.
The Plymouth sailed from Vera Cruz on the
2sth of September for Tampico, but had not ar
rived up to the departure or the British steam ship
Solent. What steps Capt. Dahlgreen, of the Pit
month, will take in the affair was not known. The
American Minister, Mr. Forsyth, and tamily, will
be ai Vera Cruz on or about the 18th mst., to sail
in the Plymouth for the United States.
Col. Talcott, \V. E. Myers, A. B. Gray, with a
corps of engineers, came as passengeis in the Bri
tish steamer Solent, and embarked on board steam
er Isabel, on the 10th inst., for Charleston.
On the wav down from the City of Mexico the
diligence was attacked by robbers, when three of
them were shot dead by the above party. None
of the gentlemen were hurt. This is the first de
feat that the robbers have met with, and it seems
had a very beneficial effect, as they did not make
any attack on the diligence for about one week.
Th’e ringleader, at -Vie de Para, was
killed.
The Steam Plough.
I A brief paragraph transferred to our columns a
! dav or two ago alluded to the success of a stearn
plough, the invention of Mr. Fawkes, of Lancas
ter TPa. I at the late Slate Fair in Illinois.
This plough is described as a cross between a
locomotive and a tender. It is mounted on two
guiding wheels and a huge propeling wheel in
the Shape of a drum, which overcomes the diffi
culties of miring on solt soil and slipping on hard
smooth ground. It is said to be easily managed,
and to require bat a moderate amount of fuel. It
draws six ploughs, so regulated by spiral springs
as to yield to any extraordinary obstruction. The
machine was tried ou the most difficult soil, the
unbroken prairie, and its performance is thus de
scribed in the Chicago Inhune:
‘•The prairie was baked so hard by drouth that
the praire breaking ploughs would not run in it,
and the trial of sod ploughs was abandoned in con
sequence. Notwithstanding this fact, the invent* r
was so confident of success that he gave the order
to put the ploughs to work in this almost imper
vious soil. After a little delay in regulating to
this brick-like surface, the engine moved forward,
when six furrows were turned side by s:de in the
most workmanlike manner. The excitement of the
crowd was beyond control, and their shouts end
wild huzzas echoed far over the prairie, as there,
beneath the smiling autumn sun, lay the first
furrow turned by steam on the broad prairies of
the mighty West. The goal was won. Steam had
conquered the face of nature, and the steam plough
had become a fact; it was working over the rich
rolling 5 prairies of‘Egypt,’ and turning up its
wealth of nutritious elements for the growth of
the cereal aud pomonal products—self-moving,
and containing a power unequalled to turn up the
lower strata of soil, so tich in potash, in phos
phates, in silicia, and other essential elements of
vegetable growth. The long line of matchless
furrows parted the crowd, and lay between the
moping masses like a line of silver wove in the
gray setting of the prairie. Amid the excitement
the inventor remained calm ; it was enough for
him to hear the glad shouts of victory which rent
the air. For this he had toiled ; for this bis hands
had become hardened and his face made swarthy
over the glowing iron out of. which he forged the
muscles of the iron steed of the prairies.
“ Mr. Fawkes, and others, were called out by
the crowd, and made brief speeches. Mr. Cole
man, a member of the Hoard, spoke of the suc
cess of the steam plough, now witnessed, as mark
ing a new era in the world’s progress, and de
clared that this great enterprise may be placed side
by side with the steam engine, the steamboat, the
locwmofive, the cotton gin, and the telegraph. Af
ter the speaking the engine again moved forward,
when the ploughs turned up the loose viwFdrift of
Egypt, laying six furrows, side by side, with the
most perfect ease, and in the most workmanlike
manner. The consumption of fuel and water was
very moderate. That the engine is a complete
success, there can be no doubt, and all that is now
wanting is to demonstrate, that, taking the whole
expense into consideration, it is cheaper than
horse power. If this is answered in the affirma
tive, it will produce the greatest revolution iu ag
ricultural progress that we have yet seen ; it will
take another wrinkle from the brow of labor, and
»ive to the toiling millions lighter tusks to per
form.”
From the Columbus Times , Oct. 14.
Georgia—A Compliment*
The question of university and common school
education is now engaging the attention of the
people of Georgia. It has called iuto requisition
the talents of Cobb, and the ability of the news
paper press. That the subject is worthy the con
sideration of an enlightened people, none will gain
say ; that it may meet with success, we may be
permitted to hope. In the New Orleans Commer
| nal Bulletin, we find an editorial from which we
! extract the following compliment to Georgia in
j connection with this great enterprise:
I “ Georgia has received the proud appellation of
! the “ Empire State of the South,” and appears de
termined to be worthy of it. In manufactures,
railroads and other kinds of home industry, she
has set an example well worthy of being followed
by her sister States of the South. Much of her
territory is barren, and yet we are not certain
after all, that this will not ultimately turn out a
blessing rather than an evil; for has not expe
rience proved that where nature does everything
for a people, they will do nothing, or very little,
for themselves? Place a man upon a sterile soil,
and necessity compels him to exert himself to ob
tain a living, and in the exercise of his wit and
his industry for this purpose primarily, he will
soon hit upon agencies by accident or otherwise,
that will convert his barren acres into sources of
wealth, luxuries and all the refinements of life.
The sterile, under the rnagic wand of industry di
rected by intelligence, becomes fruitful; streams
irrigate arid wastes, and flowers shed over them
the beauty of their perpetual fragrance.
Somewhat of these results has already obtained
in Georgia. Her people are a very practical peo
ple; they put their hands to the plow, to the loom,
to the anvil, to the millstone; they put into prac
tical’operation the machinerv, and the appliances
whereby this southern poverty may be replaced
with wealth, aud this weakness with power.
There is common sense, sterling common sense in
all that, and we should like to witness the exhibi
tion of something, or somewhat more, of this spirit
of resolute independence and indomitable energy
in certain other localities that might be mentioned,
not excepting a certain saccharine region some
times yclept ihe Sugar Bowl of the Union. It is
our true policy and the only policy that will enable
us to cope successfully with our neighbors. Unless
we adopt it, and carry it out with unflagging vigor,
we shall find ourselves left laggards far in the rear
of our more stirring rivals. We cannot depend
exclusively on our position and the richness of our
soil. There is requisite the genius of the cunning
band and the intellect to develope their advan
tages, to draw from them the inexhaustible maga
zines of wealth which they are ready to yield.

Some of the scientific men of the day have been

look at the comet through the same sort of glasses
that the reporter of the Harrisburg Patriot did:
vide his report:

that comets invariably foretell the approach of a
sickly season, and the lager is the most healthy
drink extant. Shouldn't wonder.
Twelve M.: More lager—two comets percepti

of the comets, and is taking them to the lock up
concluded to go with them—quite a family party
—lager is not mtox—. ... , ,
There are some glasses in this region through
wh'ch if a man would look a half dozen times, he
would’be made to see forty comets all at once, and
most likely some of them strike him on the head.
