Dr HusHi-ir? official account 01 tlio Groat East ern'? voyage, and the abortivo attempt to lay th. cabio, hna fouuti it* way Into tho journals?but the public intercut i:i it 1?>* been m great measure an iicipatcii by the record of resolto previously pub lished. The Doctor, however, bring? hi? clover pen into plav, and ho toils the whole atory with "tho vividness of n real artist, who know? how to invest oven the driest scientific toehniealitica with n melo-dramatic attractiveness that is certain to ?neat tho public attention. Take for example biB doHcription of the snapping of tho cable, and its ?lisappcaranco from mortal eyo in tho wavoa of tho Atlantic: , ., "It is not possihlo Tor any words to portray the dismay with which-thc sight waa witnessed and the now? heard. It was enough to move to team t And when a man came aft with a piece of the inner end lashcd'still to the chain, and ?mo saw tho tortured strands?torn wires?the lacerated core?it ia no exaggeration to say that a strange feeling of pity. M though for somo sentient creature, mutilated nnd dragged asunder by brutal l'orco, paBBcd through the hearts of tho spectators. But of what use Bontinicntal abstraction, when instant, Htren uouB action wna demanded ? Alaa ! action I There around lay the placid Atlantic, smiling in the aun, and not a dimple to show whero lay bo many hopes buried (if cablea be as incu) till tho sea gives up her dead. But there wan no blank despair, and if any folt it they Biippressed tho expression of it, whilst by far tho greatest number of those on board woro actually animated, not by tho losa it Hclf, but by tho accidental nature of the occurrence, and felt greater confidence than over in the laying of tho cable. Confidence, under tbeso disheartening circuui Btancea, it bocius to us, .ma heroism itself, and this hcroiem waB not of tho abstract, sentimental kind, for straightway? "After a brief consideration, Mr. Canning, whose Ercsenco of mind and Bclf-poBscsaion uevor left im, decided (all but ?.'gregioiiB folly it seemed) to sock for the cable in the bottom of the Atlantic? to get out the grapnels and drop down to it and pick it up again. Never had alchemist lesa chanco of finding gold buttons in the droas from which ho van seeking fiumm potabile, or Philoso pher'?! Btoue. But, then, what would they aay in England if not even an attempt, however desper ate, bad been made? There wore men on board who had picked un cablea from the Mediterranean full 1-100 fathoms down. The weather waa beauti ful, and if even there were no soundings, and the depth beneath Ufa wob matter of confidence, it was nettled at laat that the Great EaBtcrn should atcam ten or twolvo miles to windward, eastward of the position in which she was when tho cabio went down?out with tho grapnels and wire ropo, and ?Irift down acrosn the course of the track in which the cabio was supposed to be lying. Although nil utterance of hope was suppressed, and no word of confidence escaped the lipa, tho mooting shad ows, of both wore treasured in some quiet nook of .--the fancy. The doctrine of chanco coidd not touch euch ft contingency aj wo bad to epeculato upon. And now they came forth?Ihc grapnels, two five-armed anchors, with flukes sharply curv ed, and tapering to an oblique loothlike end?tho hooka with which the Giant Despair was going to HhIi from the Great Eastern for a take worth, with all it? belongings, moro than a million." But it waa dull, drowsy work, and, aftCT all, there seems to have been but little real heart in it, for the Doctor goes on to say : "At first the iron sank but slowly, bnt soon tho momentum of descent increased, so aa to lay groat stress on the picking-up machinery, which waB rcndcrcil available to lowering the novel messen ger, with warrant of search lor tho fugitivo hi?l den in mysterious caverns beneath. Length flow after length, over cog-wheel and drum, till the iron, warming with work, heated at last so as to convert the water thrown upon tho machinery into clouda of Btenm. The tune passed heavily indeed ! All life bad died out in the vessel, and no noise was heard ox?:cpt the dull grating of tho wire ca bio over tho whcols at tho bow. Tho most apa thetic anil indifferent would have sacrificed much (o haVc beard tho rumble of tho cabio again, and have thought and esteemed it tho most grateful music in the world. Tho electrician's room was closed?all their uubtlo apparatus stood function less, and cell, zinc nnd copper throw off suporbouB currents in the darkened chamber. Tho jockeya had run their raco. and rcpoBcd in their iron sad dles?the drumB boat no moro?their long reveille was onded at last in tho muffled roll of death?that which had been broken could give no trouble to brakes, and man shunned the region where all these muto witnesses were testifying to the vanity of human wishes. Away fiew tho wire strands, length after length; ocean was indeed insatiable "more" and "more," cried the daughter of horso leech from the black night of waters, and still the rope descended. Ono thousand fathoms, fifteen hundred fathoms, two thousand fathoms, hun dreds again mounting up, till at last at 5.0 P. M. tho strain was diminished, and at 2300 fathoms or 15,000 foot the grapnel reached- tho bod of tho At lantic, and set to its task of finding and holding the cable. Whero that lay wrb of course boyonu human knowledge, but as tho ship drifted down aei-OHB ite course, there waa juat a sert of head ?diaking eurmiso that the grapnel might catch it?that tho ship might feel it?that the iron rope might be brouglit up again, and the cable across it might?here was the most hazardous hitch of all?might come up without breaking. But 2500 fathoms) Alas I and bo in the darkness of the night?not more gloomy than her errand?the Groat Eastern having cleared away one of the great buoys and got it over her bows, was left as a sport to the wind and drifted at the rate of seventy feet a minute down upon tho imaginary fine beneath which the cable nod sunk to useless rest." Nevertheless, ns the reader already knows, the cable was really "clutched," once, twice, thrice? but tbo "clutch" did not hold?the strain was too great?and so the great ship bad to give it up and return to England, with Mr. Field and all the Btafl", Dr. Hnseell adding, "much strengthened by the eonviction that but for the fault? in the cable the Old World and the Now World would have been ?re this united by tho Atlantie, Telegraph, and ani mated by the ilrmeBt belief in ultimate success." Tho "faults" alluded to, it is insinuated, wero the doings of Bome malicious employee?but the in ?iniiation does not seem to be supported by any -coloring of facts. >? Tbe Era of Great Frauds_At no time within our recollection has there been such a succession of great frauds as during tbe past three or four months. Following each other so rapidly that their extent and audacity have severely -shaken tho public sense of security, tho wonder is that no serious financial revolution has followed in their -wake. Just glance at tho list of these huge rob beries : Charle? Winsor, Mercantile Bank.-.1273,000 Alfred Townscnd, New Haven Savings Bank.115,000 Kmith J.- Eaton, Produce Broker.600,000 Henry K.

Ketcbum.4,600,000 Unknown, cashier.100,000 Total.16,920,000 Thus, within the briet space of one hundred days, or thereabouts, frauds and robberies by trusted financial agents have been brought to light amounting to near six millions of dollars. Snch a statement wonld stagger any sober com munity. But Wall-street is so drunk with greed and gambling that it ruffles tho dark surface and then passes into oblivion. Nor is this to be won dered at. Tho class which, in the hour of our deadliest peril, could play at foot-ball with the na tional credit and tho national honor, are more apt to sympathize and condole with these detected scoundrels than to institute a reform of this high ly disgraceful state of things among themselves. ?Jhicago JiepuUican. ? ? * * Mademoiselle Van der Mcerch, from Paris, has opened an attractive exhibition of learned birds' at tho Polytechnic, London.

Your readers sre alroady familiar with the personnel of tho family, tho ageof each, and their pccuUariticH. 1 Hball not, therefore, attempt to describe them, but merely relato a few little incidente during their rcfidcuce at ?ho Donegaaa. It was their custom to cat at tho public table along with tho other guests of tho eHtablinhmcut. Tho littlo boy, about niuo yoara old. was very talk ative anil noisy. On u small scale hi; liielvcd up ?8 much noise and fas* at tho Doncgana au his pa ternal relative did on a lnrgo aralo darin* the r? bellion. At moals ho was constantly gabbing in u loud voice, and finding fault with everything placed before him on tho table, and with the ser vants. Withal lie is a lad of much spirit and ori ginality of thought and expression. "I say, nigger," said ho ono day to one of the colored servants, "I wish you would bring me some custard." Tho custard, in considerable quantity, was brought and placed before him. "Is that tho way you bring custard in this coun try?" ashed the boy. "Yes," answered* the servant; "you can help yourself to a? much or as little us you choose." "I don't liko it that way. In my country wo al ways got it in nice little cups," said MaBtor Davis. "Hero, nigger." (To tho servant. ) Servant?"1 don't think you'll lind such a word as nigger in the English dictionary." Master Davis?"Ob, indeed 1 Why, I inppose I Bhull liavo to havo a dictionary with mo hereafter when I want to converse with colored people in Canada." On another occasion a young lady stopping at the hotel asked Master Davis if lie would give her one of his buttons. After looking at her attentively for a while, he said: Master Davis?"Aro you a Southerner?" Lady?"No." Master Davis?"Arc you a Canadian ?" Lady?"No." Muster Davis?'Tcrbaps, then, vou're a Yan kcoV" Lady?"No, not a Yankco, citbor." Master Davi??"I wonld not give ono of my but tons to a Yankee for the world. But if you were a Southerner I would give you one. Those are the buttons I wore when 1 was a Colonel in the army?tho rebol army?mind that?not tho Yankee army." Lady?"I would not mind kisB?ng yon if you gave me ono of your buttons." Master Davis?"Oh! I would not kiss a Yankee woman; no, not for all the world.'' Lady?"But I'm not a Yankee." Master Davis?"I'm afraid you arc." Lady?"You won't give me a button, then?" Master Davis?"No." Jeff. Davis is now reported to submit gracefully to his discomforts. Ho woidd probably bear a trial civilly. THE CHARLESTON MARKET.

It produced better cotl ton, and a larger amount, than on my good land; h es work was needc. in making the cotton than on my other land. Hot a particle of rust was to bo seen where I applied your Superphosphate, while the rust prevailed over eveiy oiLer portion of the crop. Respectfully yours, DAVID PAYNE. Note.?Mr. Payne's good land compare? favorably with the b~st cotton lands on the Saluda Hiver. Th? b?lud? bottoms arc proverbial for producing large quantities of cotton. COTTON. _, ? . . J Colombia, 8. C, October 18, 1869. Mr. J. J. MAr-Efl?Dear Sir: In reply to youre of the 1st inst, I cheerfully state: I have used Mapes' Nitro geni/.ed Superphosphate of Lime on my cotton of the present your, and um perfectly satisfied with its yield. I can recommend it to my neighbors with confidence, as a pure and effective manure, and would give it thu preference to any other in the market. Yours, respectfully,' THOB. DAVIS. Mr. Charles W. Mixon, of Edcnton, Chowan County, N. C, writes to Mr. Bockover: In regard to Mapes' Phosphate it worked admirably for me, the product being fully equal If not superior to? both the manures before mentioned. It did not btart the young plant as early as cither the other manures: but it - seemed to retain it? color and pods much better, and no symptom of rust was ever seen where it was applied-?alt. the land I planted in cotton being about the same quality and strength. CHABL.E3 W. MIXON. Extract from a letter from Colonel Gideon Dowse, of Berzclla, near Augusta, Oa., August, 1860: \ J. J. Mapes?Dear Sir: I have no hesitation in saying that on my own farm your Superphosphate has bren, \ and is now, superior in its effects, whore 1 have applied it on my cotton, to either lot-manure or cotton seed;.end,, as compared to the land without manure in the same field (in my opinion the only true way to test it), it is aiiSrar to one in the number of grown bolls, and as ten to one in the young fruit and forms, in favor of the SuperSuM? phate. This opinion Is formed from a close and critical examination by my overseer and myself. There is one ffeulfc. from its application, which, if it had nothing else to recommend it, is of incalculable value, and that is, itfSoeo seem to guard against that worst enemy of the cotton plant, namely, the rust. I have applied it to land that invariably rusta cotton, and there Is as yet net a sign of nut In it, while the uno kind of land just adjoining is completely mined by it already. % This experiment confirms that made by Mr. Lomas, of S. C, last year; and I am fully persuaded that any plant manured with it does withstand a drought better aud keeps green longer than with any other application that ha?, coin? under my notice. I have ?sen cotton, corn, okra, melons and other garden plant?, that have kept greet? during the terrible drought that has so completely destroyed all our gardens, and my nutmeg melons are as gr?era ?and blooming as beautifully as in spring. I have written this as the result of my judgment from close observation. When I shall have gathered my crop? it will give me pleasure to givo you the result from actual weight and measure, yours. GIDEON DOWSE. Extract from Weekly Day-Book: New York, October 20, 1860. "We have, in the course of an extensive agricultural correspondence, gathered evidence of the superior valne of Mopes' Nltrogenlzcd Superphosphate of Lime upon tho cotton fields of the South, where Peruvian Guano bad been used with, partial success. The boll* have been heavier, and of greater number, the yield of cotton per aere ha?; been larger, and what is also of the greatest consequence, no rust is discovered in cotton fields where this article >? applied, to which may be added its peculiar lasting power of fertilization, and Its comparative cheapness. These facts have como to us in correspondence from parties who have used other like agents, and who give this by far tho highest praise. "We have arrived at the conclusion, after considerable experiment ourselves, and of careful search for the re sults of the trials of others, that Mopes' Fertilizer has more of the property needed in a general manure, in horticuU turo and agriculture, than any thing else of the kind we are acquainted with." EoflKTrrxD, g. c., October 10,18M. 3. J. MirER, Esq., New York?D<ar Sir: 1 bought four tons of yonr Superphosphate of Lime for my cotton crop, also some guano, and have tried them aide by side on the some ?juallty of land. A of a particle of rust was to be seen where your Superphosphate was used ; and I also applied stable manure on a portion of mv ?and. The cotton had the rust when the latter wua used. The yield of cotton was splendid w??>n the Superphosphate was used, despite the extraordinary dry year. When I applied tho other manure the yield was not good. I applied tho Superphosphate at the rate of 100 lbs. per acre, and believe It would havo paid better If I had put more per acre. I sold my cotton In Hamburg yesterday at %e. per pound over the unnol market price. Tho Unt WM consid ered very strong and heavy. I consider youra a reliable manure. Your?, truly, JAMES M. LANHAM.
