"7 tJire but little -Dawtage: AbotMilf past three on - Tuesday, afteion'th'aldarm of fire wds raised in our streeta, and on rcpiiring to the . spot we folud the fire already ewtin. guiAhed. It occurred on the premises of Mr. CtARL.s CATtICART, and origi nated fOim the careless handling of matehea. by some .olored childrou. Some:bedding. ad a little corn in the shuck were daniged. eibe.AlaideCEable, This great enterprWic has been once more delared successfulPy accoiplish ed. Asthis is the fifth effoTt to lay the. cable, we will not go into eestacy over it yet, but will coolly wait for something confirinatory to turn up. We will-shy'however that if it con tinues to work w9lI for one iw'lith, then we will consider the Atlantie cablpa great success. Sigi.eant, We said some time ago that only a certain elementi of Southern sentiment was invited to the Philadelphia Con vention. We also divided the politi cal elements of the country into thre. clasgifications. That we were corr6et in saying which One of those was iivit ed to the Convention, read the .arti cle bolow. We are still sutprised that so much enthusiasm has been ex hibited by our ablest men to enter that Convention. We shall soon see who has the right view of the subject. Soein of the secession papers are con gAtnlating themselves on the fact that Hamilton Fish, John A. Dix, and other loyal men of New York, are taking steps -to be represented in the Philadelphia Convention. To show the -bas on witibh these gentlemen are acting we quote as follows ftAu their call for a. meeting to appinit delegates: "By the langnage and spirit df the call, it. will be perceived that those who refuied their support to the GAv ernment in puttfing tfowhI the rebeflion, and those who approve hf the ,cti6h of Congress' in keeping 16yal Represonta. tives out of their seats, hnd lovid' States out of the UTrrion, are- exhIled from the invitati<t, and am not e - peetd to&participato in the' pi-elii nary meet Inrgs, ot-to take seate in the Convent ion." The meaning of which is, that no radical, so-called, will be pdwitted, and no man fromn the Spth, )Vill be. the President'a,$d t6eTes Oat .We ha,ve anxiotsly *rathed for - some evidence thate thoPlesidht op posed the Test Oath.

The nti-reconeillationists roll it as a sweet morsel of Vengeance under their tongues Upon the late insurrection Astq, merely, as one of their number re, contly said i a public speech, to let them kno% that "there is a puinishment. after denth."

Tine PacImIC, RI.ROAD.-The first idea of a railroad to the Pacifit origina. led more than thirty years ago, and the first demonstration in favor of tle pro. ject was in a public meeting at Di buqie, Iowa, about 1838. A man by the name of Mli Whitney - petitioned Congres.s to make a giant of one hit dred millions of acr6s of -land to hin to enable him to construct a railroad to the Pacific, ind offered as security (qr the faithful application of the landA to. that object, the pledge of his honor, he being a broken fofa' meeliaht at the time. His.appliatio .wait r4e6weif everv ses ion, until finally it bealpe a party., meaenif, endorwed both by Republicana and Dotnoerats.
