The general programme of the second, and,
os wc trust, final attempt to submerge this gi-
ganticlincof electrical communication between
the New and Old Worlds is, we believe, deci
ded on, and all the preparations necessary to
secure a successful plan of derations are rap
idly advancing toward completion. Since our
last notice of the progress of this great under
taking the machines at Glasse & Eiiiot’s man
ufactory have been working day and night to
complete the 400 additional miles of cable or
dered before last Christmas, and intended to
replace the 384 miles which were submerged
and lost last Autnmn eff Valeutia. This ad
ditional length has now been completed. It is
of precisely the same kind of cable as the rest
which wc have already described—flexible,
strong, small nnd light; it has been tested and
retested, to insure its perfect insulation, and
its completeness bcingthusdefinitely ascertain
ed, the lost miles of it were shipped last night
on board tho Adonis screw steamer for con
veyance to Plymouth, where it will arrive on
Monday next. In the dockyard there, at Key-
ham, the main bulk of the cable, to the length
of 2.200 miles, has been stowed away in gi
gantic coils during the Wint°r, nnd a full staff
of electricians, uudor the directions of Mr.
Whitehouse, have been engaged in working
messages throughout its entire lengih. and
generally proving the electrical fitness of the
cable to tho fullest extent. The result of these
experiments, we are informed, has been in the
h’ghcst degree satisfactory. Most of those ac
quainted with the first efforts which were made
to send messages through the entire length of
the cable know that tho retarding influence,
or whatever other name electricians may now

When the Adonis, with the 409 recently
completed miles, arrives at Plymouth on-Mon
•lay next, the additional length will be iinmc
diatciy landed nnd joined on to the coil already
at Keyham. i'his will raise the entire length
of cable already manufactured to nearly 2.1)30
utiics, or some 130 miles or thereabouts more
than the entire length with which the expedi
lion started last Autnmn. There is no doubt
however, but that the first attempt was mad
with too small nn allowance for casualties, and
that consequently when the cable parted, and
about 380 miles were lost in the depths of the
Atlantic, it so reduced the length of wire re
mainmg at the disposal of the engineers that
further perseverenee in the attempt became nl
most impossible, 'i'o guard against a recur
fence of this mishap it has now been deter
mined to manufacture an additional 300 miles
of cable beyond tlic2.<>30 miles which we have
slated is already completed. This additional
quantity will be commenced at Glasse & Elli
ott’s works on Friday next, and will bo com
pleted in a month or so, nnd forwarded to Key-
baui to be joined to the main coil, which will
then measure nearly 3,000 miles in length.

On her arrival at that port she will inst mtly

length to 1,500 miles, instead of J,20Q. as on
the Just occasion. On Hoard the Agamemnon
the cable will not he coiled away iu oneprodi
gious mass amidships, but be distributed equal
ly on the fore, midship, nnd after part of the
vessel, in three coils of about 500 miles each.
By this arrangement, of course, the weight of
the wire is equally distributed and the ship
well trimmed. Tho very reverse of this was
the case last Autumn, when tljg weight of the
whole mass was concentrated amidships, and,
thus balanced on the principleof a Chinese toy.

The Sunken Ships at Sebastopol
The Constantinople correspondent of the
London Times writes:
“The schooner Silver Key and the steamer
General Knox, belonging to the American
Wrecking Companies which undertook to raise
the vessels of war sunk in the harbor of Sebas
topol. have returned to Constantinople, and
are advertised for sale. The attempt to raise
the sunken vessels has completely failed; not
one of them was recovered. The Black Sea
teredo, so often attributed to the well calculat
ed imagination of the liussian Admiralty, is a
stern reality. It has eaten up the body of the
Russian fleet, leaving only the outer shell.—
The wheel of the Twelve Apostles has been
brought down as a specimen. Although it
consisted of strong mahogany, two years and a
half in the waters of Sebastopol have reduced
its weight to almost nothing. No external
change is visible beyond a few small holes,
where tho greedy miners sunk their shafts.
The most approved contrivances were tried by
the two rival companies. The vessels were
caulked and made seemingly water tight, but
when it came to pumping out it was found that
the timber was so rotten that the water perco
lated everywhere through the galleries made
by the teredo. To this iu itself invincible dif
ficulty must be added the fact that most of the
vessels bail sunk from four to six fathoms into
the mud. Even if the ships had been raised
; hey would have been of no use. As they
could not be raised, it was tried to blow them
up in order to clear the harbor, which at this
moment is so blocked up that only a narrow
channel, marked out by buoys, is left, through
which small vessels can with difficulty wind
their way. The damage done to the timber
is. however, so great, that not even the at
tempt to blow the vessels up succeeded. As
much ns five thousand pounds of powder was
tiled with a two-dcckcr; but, as the rotten
imber lutd too little power of resistance, the
result was that the weakest point gave way,
and the explosion tore out a small part in the
side of the vessel, leaving the rest altogether
untouched. The harbor must thus remain
blocked up until by degrees the work of the
teredo is done, and the ships fall to pieces.
According to the account brought down, eigh
ty-one vessels were found sunk, which is much
more than ever was known or supposed. The
companies have brought up sufficient anchors,
cables. &c.. to pay, at any rate, part of their
expenses, and probably the Russian govern
ment will make up the difference.”
Desperate Encounter with Dogs.
The South Side Democrat says that Mr.
Thos. Whitworth, residing in Dinwiddle coun
ty, a few miles from Petersburg, was badly bit
ten by his own dogs, a few days since under
the following circumstances:
He was on his way to the meat house
compauied by a servant woman, when, from
some cause, his two large bull dogs flew at her.
He turned on hearing the cries of the woman
and succeeded iu rescuing her, when she ran
some distance and fell fainting to the ground
Fite dogs now vigorously attacked him, and
for some time it required all his efforts to pre
vent them from dragging him to the ground
His strength was fast failing him, he bad noth
ing with which lie could defend himself, and
no oue was near to render him assistance-
billet of wood lay upon the ground and he
thought that if he could gain sufficient time
to stoop and secure it, he might be able to
drive them off. By a renewed effort with his
feet he succeeded in forcing them back and
quickly reached the billet, but ere his fingers
cached it the larger dog taking advantage of
his position, seized him by the neck. Mr.
Whitworth had now nearly given up all hopes
of rescue, but with admirable presence of mind
he summoned his remaining strength, and
grasping the dog by the throat aucceeded in
choking him off and forced him against the
house, where he continued to hold him, when
the other dog caught him by the arm which
held the former. A forcible'blow from the un
encumbered hand caused him to release his
hold, but only to change his attack to another
quarter, aud burying his teeth in Mr. W’s
hip he continued to wrench aud chew the flesh
In the meantime, a man working the field, at
tracted by the screams of the woman before
fainting, and the continued cries of the daugh
ter of Mr, Whitworth, who observed from the
window the desperate situation of her father,
hastened to tho house and arrived at this crisis
md after a severe cncouuter with the smaller
dog succeeded iu driving him off. lie then
returned to the assistance of Mr. W., who still
held the larger dog choking him against the
house, und was directed by him to knock the
dog ou the head with an axe, which was ac
cordingly done, and the dog thrown aside for
dead, hut he revived in the course of an hour,
and went about the premises as if nothing had
occurred. As may be expected, Mr. W. was
vsristed to the house in a deplorable condition.
The following day the largest dog was shot,
and it is the intention of Mr. W. to dispose of
the other.

Value of the Precious Stones.
The finest varieties of sapphire come from
Pegu, where they occur in the Caprelon moun
tains near Syria. The red variety—the ruby
—is most highly valued. Its color is between
a bright scarlet and crimson. A perfect ruby
above 34 carats is more valuable than a dia
mond cf tho same weight. If it weigh oue
carat it is worth 852; two carats $208; three
carats §760; six carats 852,000. A deep col
ored ruby, exceeding twenty carats in weight,
is generally called a carbuncle. The largest
oricutal ruby known to be in thc world was
brought from China, to Prince Gargarin, gov
ernor of Siberia; it came afterwards into the
possession of Prince MenchikofF, and consti
tutes now a jewel in the imperial crown of
Russia. A good blue sapphire of teu carats
is valued at 8260; if it weighs twenty carats,
its value is $1,040; but under ten carats, the
price may be estimated by multiplying the
square of its weight in carats into a quarter
eagle. The sapphire of Brazil is. merely, a
blue tournabinc, as its specific gravity and in
ferior hardness shows. White sapphires are
sometimes so pure that when properly cut and
polished they have been passed for diamonds,
i’ho yellow and green sapphires are much priz

Remarkable Angelic Visitations iti
HANCOCK COUNTY, OHIO.
According to the most accurate r.:;d tellable
information we can g e t. Orange township in
the South-western corner of li. iicock county,
has recently been made the favored locality of
one of those remarkable visitations which the
people have learned to regard as very “few
and far between;” an angel visit. We briefly
give the particulars., as wo received them, from
a source that all will concede. Some time in
August last, a bright, intelligent little girl, atred
five years, daughter of Mr. Charles, whole
sales in the locality described, while near the
well in the yard, about noon of the day, seem
ed to discern something high up in the air,
and discending toward her. The attention
of the child was so much drawn to the object
that her gaze became riveted upon it, and as
it drew nearer, she was observed to make fre
quent attempts to reach it with her hands, and
form a closer acquaintadce with the strange
visitant. When the mother of the child was
called to the scene, the little girl informed her
that she was in the presence of an angel; that
she had talked with it; that it had made com
munications to her; and furthermore, gave a
description of if, according in every particular
with the generally received impression of the
appearance of these messengers from above-
To satisfy herself that there could be no delu
sion in the matter, the mother entered into con
versation with the stranger, and after being
satisfied with the reality of the interview—af
ter having seen and talked with the angel face
to face—and after receiving information from it
of the precise time when her own death would
occur—she retired from the spot, taking her
little girl with her, and the angel waving its
bright wings, returned heavenward.
When thc mother and child were alone, they
talked freely of what they had seen and heard,
and the mother’s sadness was made deeper by
the artless story of the child, who said that
“the angel told her she would die just two
months from the time she first saw it, at pre
cisely twelve o’clock and twenty-five minutes;
that she would be three days in dying; that
her death would be unlike that of others; that
her friends would suppose her to be in a trance;
tnat her eyes would not be closed; that her
funeral sermon would be preached hi three
weeks after in the new school-house of the
neighborhood, by a man whom, with his horse
and buggy, she described, and that her friends
would have difficulty in procuring the house
for the occasion.’- The mother kept the sad
secret to herself, and waited for the appointed
time, hoping that all might yet go well with
her and hers, and not caring to be reckoned as
one who would attempt to revive the defunct
doctrine of spiritualism. But with the time
came the terrible blow.
1 hree days before the time predicted for her
death, the little girl fell upon the floor, from
whence she was taken to bed, aud at the hour
and minute foretold, on third day, breathed
her last. Her eyes remained open after death,
and could not be closed. Friends, supposing
her to be entranced,made many and vain efforts
to restore her to life. A few days after her
burial, as Rev. H. P. Durst was passing that
way, a Inend of Mrs. Charles requested him to
tarry awhile and preach the little girl’s fuuer-
al sermon. The reverend gentleman excused
himself on the ground of having prior engngc-
rnenes, but promised to do so iu a short time.
His person and equipments corresponded in the
most minute particulars with the prophetic de
scription,. and when he did return to redeem
his promise, the workmen who had built the
new school house, having a lien upon it, refus
ed to let it be opened for the funeral service ;
but subsequently they gave up the key, and the
sermon was preached at the exact tiuio and place
predicted- ,
The bereaved mother intended that thc
knowledge of these prophecies and their fulfill
ments should go out of time, with her, but re
cently, the secresy bearing more crushingly
upon her, she determined to reveal the whole
matter, and in accordance with this determina
tion, one day last week she sent for John Lati-
morc. Esq., andSauiuel Wood,one of our coun
ty commissioners, and to them gave the parlic-
lars, the most prominent of which wc have giv
en. The gentlemen named are nmoi g thc old
est, most respectable and influential citizens of
our county, and their known tit iracters for in
tegrity is sufficient guaranty that they would
not favor a wrong action, or in any way assist
in giving publicity to a story, as to thc truth of
which they had a reasonable doubt. These
gentlemen, we understand have taken down
the facts, as Mr. Charles related them, for tiic
purpose of giving them to the public in pam
phlet form. They both bear testimony to the
good character and standing of thc lady v.-ho
makes the revelation, andwould regard any
thing coming from her as entitled to credit.—

From the Covington Type of the Times, we
extract the following;
“Just as we were going to press, a note from
Dr. Campbell to Dr. Hendrick, of this city,
brought information of the murder of M. M.
Gay, Esq., of this county. The murder was
committed by a free negro named Mike Davis,
a copper colored fellow with snaggle teeth,
about 50 years of age. He will probably at
tempt to make his way to Macon. Ho dresses
well. No further description is given.”
Heaven Brougut Down to us.
A tender mother was endeavoring to convev
to the inquiring mind of her child an idea of
Heaven, and the necessity of being a good boy
U» order to obtain admission there hereafter.
She pictured to his imagination the happiness of
the blest, aud as additional inducement for him
to lead a correct life, said that he would be like
the angels, who have harps iu their hands.
“Mamma,” responded the urchin, wistfully
gazing into his mother’s eyes, “mamma, if it
makes no difference with God, I’d rather have
a jeicsharp."
The astonished mother rang thc bell, and thc
nurse removed the polite little stripling to bed.

A Cure for Dyspepsia.
From the Hon. Solomon Foote, from Ycr’t.
Washington, D. C., June 1.
Dr. Geo. B. Green,—Dear Sir: In your note this
morniug, you ask “for an expression of my opinion
regard to your medicine called Oxygenated Bit
ters.” It affords me pleasure to state that from the
experience I have had ia curing a severe attack of
Dyspepsia in my own family, and from the wonder
ful effects which it hss produced in other and more
severe cases, arising in famiHes of Membeis of Con
gress with whom I am acquainted, I think it an in-
aluable medicine, and hope that such circulation
will be given to it as will bring it within the roach of
all who are afflicted with th it distressing mal dy.
Respectfully yours,

Weed’s Patent Sewing; machine.
We have been often asked which is the best Sew
)g Machine in use, and to satisfy ourselves, have
spent some time iu examining them all, and now
give our opinion to our readers for their benefit.
We purchased one of tho above named Machines,
and liavo tried it on every kind of work required in
a family, nnd it gives the best satisfaction; doing its
work very rapidly, neatly and stronger than the usu
al hand work. It is muen harder to rip work done
on this Machine than that done in tho ordinary way.
It is neat and tasty, being very nicely finished, and
to all appearance, simple, beyond the possibility of
getting out of repair, by ordinary use. It is very
strong and durable, and we are well assured one of
them will not wear out in years of constant use.—It
has already saved tailor’s and dressmaker's bills
enough In our family to pay its cost, nud wo think it
a very profitable investment, to say nothing of its
convenience and the hours of needle work it saves a
mother. We must emphatically pronounce this
thc best Sewing Machine in use, and tho greatest
labor-saving invention oftho day.
