UF ITS KAILIKK.
The following communication to the New
York World of July 13th, written hy T. P
Shaffner, will he read with interest, although it
predicts the failure of the Atlantic, Telegraph
at a practically available work :
The Atlnnlio telegraph cable is nair proba
bly being laid, and 1 desire to commit myself
on record respecting mat important enterprise.
The cable will bo over 8,000 miles in length
to ho operated at one circuit. The company,
on raising itt capital, asserted that it would
transmit intelligence at the rnteuf sixteen words
per minnto. - It is nnw tinted that it will trans
mit, commercially, eight words per minute.
Suoh It the propo-liloii whioh the company pro
poses to demonstrate in a few days. To what
extent the 0 ible will operate It a problem, and
the solution will be of great interest. -:
Iu my opinion, there it not the leuit poatibil
ity of the transmission of even five wordi per
minute. If that number he hurried through
the cable, the molecular destrnotion will be in
evitable. It may be possible to tend two or
three wordi per minute; but at that rata the
conductivity of the metal will fail within ninety
dnrs, nnd perhups ere that epooh the iusiilatiou
will cento to he effeotive.
Now, I propose tn reason a little, Hint the
uninitiated may not be misled, either at to
coiiDUence in my judgment or hopes In ultimate
tuccett. The working of a subaqueous oirouit
of two thousand miles Is a problem of thenblest
scientific consideration, nnd we should be cure
fal in forming cmlclutitiu. .... ,.;
-Urn constructed through air, suspended on
poles, may transmit commercially forty words
per minute. The length of a cironit may he
fiv hundred miles, and seldom, if ever, one
thousand miles in no case, however, in any
part of (lie world but a circuit been operated
through air or otberw ite a distance of two thou
sand five hundred miles. In the mouth of
Maroh Inst the Neve York Journal of Commerce
and ninny ether pupen in America, puplished

To Han Franoiico DiugCT On Sunday morning, tt
3 o'clock, the wires of the Western Union Company
were connected with the Pacific lines and ninnuuiiiua
lion octitbliiluil direct between this city and San Eran
cKio. Though the weather wus hull, rain railing at the
time ut ninny points 011 the mule, the wires worked well,
mid a considerable amount of business wnh triitomctcd.
The distance Is Hourly 4,0110 miles, and the dilli'reiiee
of time shout lour hours. This Is unquestionably the
longest telegraphic circuit ever worked, and the' fact
that Mich a length of wire was leleaniiihed over in one
ciruiit, is 11 notable era ia the history of telegraphing.
1 Ins fabrication imposed upon the press, of
course was designed to effeot an object. The
line of luihi miles waa composed of from six
to ten oircuiti, over each of which the dispatch
bad to liu sent by ineuhuuisin orliy aa opera
tor, bringing into nctiou it now buttery for each
circuit. .
The Atlnntio entile? cannot he divided into a
erics of oiicuitsi It must be worked at one on
broken line, and 1 will give tho neurett exam
pie u lo submarine length. The Malta and
Alexandria cable, submerged In the Mediter
ranean Sea, it Ihn nearest approximate. It is
iu length iihuut 1.350 mile, divided into three
seutiout, the longest, nf which it about 650
miles. Tho first section was laid between
Malta nnd Tripoli, on the African coast ; then
the cable wnt taken to ten and again brought
to shore at Kungnzzi, and then again taken to
tea ami landed at Alexandria, the latter lec
tion being 050 miles in length. The object of
the British government in dividing the line into
sections waa to increase the speed of transmis
sion, When the line bat been worked at on
circuit, namely, 1.350 miles, th higliert speed
of transmission attained hat been three to four
words per minute 1 hut when" rperated io teo
linn, with the longest circuit only 050 mile!,
the tpeed wat from fifteen to sixteen words per
minute. Here, tlieu, is tbe proportion! If a
eiibiiiarinu cable can transmit, over a oircuil of
050 miles, fifteen or sixteen words per minute,
mid over a circuit of 1,350 miles, three to four
word per minute, how many words can be
trni'iuiitled through tho Atlantic oulil stretch
ed over 2.000 miles f
It it hut fair to state that with the apparatus
prepared by Professor Thompson, ami by the
use ol abbreviation!, three or four word per
minute for a few day may be attained. ;
There is not ono ttep advance in th science
of electricity since 185S to Imtify any other
hope than that which might have been enter
tained at tbe laying of the other cable. '
The phenomena of the Leyden jar I devel
oped in all submarine telegraphs iu proportion
to the length of the cable. Wheu the con
ducting wire Is charged by an electrio battery
the negative of that charge encircle! the cable,
and produce, what is culled "induolire retard
alum." Jlcsiiles 1 Ins hindrance, we mutt con

War on our National Prosperity," reoently de
livered in Baltimore, by Wm. E. Dodge, of
New York:
Thera are great Interest very great inter

war, from whioh Ihey will never recede. The
great impetus given to tlie development of nt

Is another evidence of material prosperity. Oar
coal, iron, gold, silver, lead, copper, and lino
mine have attracted an attention never bafor
known, nnd millions bava been Invested ia
working them. The great underlying wealth
nf England, which ha given permanency to
Its wealth, hai been it great iron and coal In
terests. We have been largi- Importer of coal
and iron. Many people Id England, at they
tee immense quaotitie of railroad iroa and bar
iron and tbeet Iron and boiler iron going ta
America, have very rauoh the idea of a Mem

naturally asked, "What ia that?" "Why," laid
he, -you bavt gnt no iron." When he wa told
that iu a tingle county in the Stat of Penn

They will find that there will he little or no

derful impetus to all mineral interest of this
country. There ii a mania abroad. There ar
thousands of new schemes, and new oompanln
forming every day; and although many ol them '
may prove failuret.yet there it one roiuarkabl

from those speculations In years gone by which
we have witnessed. Men are tint now going
to bank and getting note disoonnted that hav
been endorsed by neighbor. The faot it, th
people have gut the money, and Ihey ar look

companies are organising for th yery purpose,
and most of them are honestly intending to

critics cnnstuntly Insist that wo must treat the
late President of the rebellion at a belligerent
and not aa a rebel. They say we mutt not
take hie life. Now on this question wo say '
nothing for the present ; but we confront our
English critics by English authority. ' Lord
Castlerengh did not hesitate to say that Napo
leon Bnnitparte might b treated at a rebel.-.

Before Napoleon waa oaptnred Lord Cattle-'

00 the 7th of July, 1815 1 1 ,
"If we take him (Napoleon) w shall keep

Indeed, nothing could really be ueoeiary hot
the identification of bi perton. I hav had
some conversation with the civilian, aud they
re nf opinion that thit woald be, in all respects,
the lentt nbjeoliouable oourte. They think that
the King of Franoo won Id hav a clear right
to consider him ua rebel and to deal with him
coordingly." 1
Agaiu on the 21st of July, Lord Cattlereogh
tho ooiiuliidet his letter to Lord Liverpool:
" Wa with that tho King of Frauoe would
hang or tlioot Bonaparte at lh hett tormina-

have the custody of him. it it aot unreasonable
that we should b allowed to judg of tho meiu

difficult for an Englishman to say that Jeffer
son Davit may not lie treated ai a rebel. There
ii another caution, which we may well follow.
