The Daily IISTgws. THTRSDAY MORNING, MARCH 23, 1866. GENERAL BANKS AND THE PAKIS EX. uiBvrioix. In tho absence of any thing more interesting, ?we give our readers the following racy article from the Bound Table. It is mainly on a subject of much importance. Aside from that, however, the clever castigation of the great commissary of8tonewall JACKSON, and "the hero of the Red River expedition," is well worth reading. General Banks' speech on tho French Exposi? tion of 1867, delivered in the House tho other day, waa, in many respects, a remarkably good one. Its excellences, however, are receiving ample praise in all quarters. Perhaps we may render some service, on the other hand, by noting where the Pogrom sticks out with fatal prominence. The subject itself, indeed, while very interesting and almost national-certainly international-was an entirely sober, practical and tranquil one, and one on which we do not think the eagle should have been let slip. We intend no reference, of conree, tb the General's little philosophical reflec? tions, even be they aa sweeping as, for example, this: "Whenever the people have had wrongs to re? dress cr rights to assert, their only means of ap Eealing to public opinion and sympathy, except y violence, have been through the exhibition of the fruits of their industry. Thus it has ever been in Poland, Hungary, France, or England." If it ever amuses any gentleman to generalize a little, whether Ul or well, on such harmless pointa, we hope always to be tho last to object. But it ie Hr. Banks' proposed contributions to the exposi? tion which attract our attention by their novelty. First, theo, he desires to contribute ten scientific gentlemen, who shall thoroughly lecture the old world on our great and glorious country till the mortified British hon shall retire with his tail be? neath hie legs; thc French, Austrian, Russian, and other eagles shall gnash their beaks, as our own majestic biped joyously flaps his wings; and the benighted old world in general shall be made to see stars in the new. After which, the trium? phant ten shall journey homeward, flushed with oratorical triumph, to tell us what they saw and what they said. But these selected ten are not the only live con? tributions Mr. Banks proposes to make to the ex? hibition. He desires to send there, to cruise as near as possible, Admiral Farragut ! "And that he may not stand alone" (which is certainly a very good reason), Mr. Banks would send Generals "Grant, and Sherman, and Sheridan"-the object of this display of dignitaries being "that we may show the world ot what stuff our army and navy are made 1" In other words, while we send mate? rial products, like other nations, we are also, unlike them all, to send a few human specimens of the genus Americana for the world to inspeot. Colum? bia wiU not seek to divert the world from due at? tention ) her patent flapjack-pans and soothing syrups, Dut she will confidentially remark to the world of these three generals and the admiral, like the mother of the Gracchi, " These are my | jewels." We wonder whether the degenerate scions of the old world who got np the great show expected this grand stroke of genius in the way of contributions from our glorious republic ? Bid they assign a space for the "human form divine," alive and aggressive, in our sector of the circle ? What sort of tags have they got ready for labels for our bipeds ? But we can leave this point, as it is obviously so absurd aa to run not the slightest chance of actual trial. It is only one of those aquilar flights so common in our country. If our generals go at all to the show, they will doubtless go very quietly and modestly, as is their wont, with the genuine Yankee desire to see, not the bogus Yankee pas? sion to be seen. Mr. Banks says "we want that Admiral Farragut shall command in the waters of Europe our iron-dads and our monitors." We don't think we want, or that the Admiral wants, anything of the sort. Why, at all events, put Farragut over iron-clads and monitors 1 His fa? mous victories were all won while he himself was on a wooden ship. He is the hero of "iron hearts in wooden walls." He was not tied to the "mast" of a monitor in Mobile Bay. And, by the way. much aa everybody admires that very bold ana skillful sailor, we think it decidedly another flight of the national bird when General Banks speaks of "that most simple, that most pure, that most spotless hero of this or any age, Admiral Farra? gut." We don't profess to belong to the nil ad mirari school; but, really, isn't this a little strong ? However, the General is somewhat apt, in complimenting living celebrities, to "lay it on with a trowel." Well, Mr. Banks' military personages are about as likely to parade in Paris for the purpose he wishes as the Davenport brothers-two other American human exhibitions whom, by the way. we might cage and send. Now for his material contributions. Mr. Banks proposes, with special fervor, "the log cabin where lived one of our earlier Presidents," and "the humble roof beneath which was boru or dwelt the martyr President." This is an unique suggestion. If it wiU help the cause any, we would hint that Barnum be ap? pointed one of the ten commissioners, and be as? signed to tho department of curiosities. Indeed, perhaps the veteran showman has still in his pos? session (as he once had) one of the two houses Mr. Banks intends to transport. Perhaps England may follow suit, and give us the original dumplings which caused the royal George to goggle so and to stammer, "How get the apples in ?" Mr. Banks revels in the historic triumphs of McCormick's reaper, Steers' yacht, and Hobbs's picklock. But some of the objects which he is chiefly bent on sending this time savor more of piquing unintelligent curiosity than of aiding scientific knowledge. Ee would contribute materials of war which have "seen service." as if they really had seeu it and appreciated it. This recalls one of cidney Smith's remarks. A person in the company had beeu exhibiting a walking stick which had voyaged around the world, to tho great curiosity of the beholders. "And, after all," Bays Sidney Smith, "it is only a stick !" Gen. Banks Bays : "A pair of worn-out shoee, the dress of an Ameri? can soldier, tho shelter-tent under which ho slept, his bayonet, his musket, his knapsack, his cap, his rations, anything thrt belonged to him, will attract more attentiou and draw greater crowds of peoplo and hold thurn longer and closer than will tho crown ie weis of England." We answer "scarcely." We hopo so, but do not think so. The "traps" of one of Garibaldi's vete? rans, yes, or one of Marshal Bazaine*?, would doubtless attritct even more attention-though, to be sure, the French and Italians would not think of introducing them. But tho chief negative rea? son is that there will be nothing novel in the old shoes, tho coat and browsers, tho shelter-tent, the cap, or the knapsack. These all resemble closely enough tho European models. Nor is there, proba? bly, anything novel in the rest of the specimen equipments; and the rations will bo moldy and inexpressive. In a word, instead of quietly going and taking her place among her sister nations, General Banks proposes that America ehall kick up rather a bigger dust than anybody in the circus. We ar3 to use the exhibition for proselytizing the world. We are to be no longer cool, "but vocife? rous. We are to have ten or moro spokesmen, at least, because "it ia a duty wo owe to other na? tions, as well as to ourselves, to show them what we are." We are to aend over a batch of heroes to gracefully receive tho plaudits of Europe. Our proposed material contributions are to be patri? otic, at all events, if not industrial. Some of them strike us as being fitter for a raree-show than for ?his exposition. Mr. Banks seems to imagine our civilization wholly different from that of other white men. for he propoaea that our people Bhall explain "the food upon which they live, the clothing they wear, the customs of the society in which they move." We never have perceived any fundamental differ? ence between ourselves and "other Anglo-Saxons" m these respecte. In those pointa, however, where difference exists, we do not think it ad? visable for our people to make any very large brags. Of course, with such ideas iu our hcada, we should at once overflow the apace asaigned to ??i.,,.- c.ord"'Rly Mr. Banks proposes to have the frf^^^L0! our perfonnanoe in a side-show tbsT?LCf amp ?,?

The St. Louis JRejniblican gives an account of a frightful scene in one of tho coaches from Denver City, on the 12th inst. A German, named HENS CHILD, one of the passengers, supposed to have been a hardened criminal, betrayed a suspicion I that ho wa? the victim of a conspiracy, ?nd. MaHafJ darkness of night attacked ferociouslyall^B were within reach. . Beyond Alkali, the coach was occupied in the following order: Henschild, McCaul and Barlow on the back seat Bice and Boyd on the middle seat, and Steitz and Deidesheim er on the front seat, with Kimball on the top of the vehicle. The latter had exchanged places with Mr. Steitz a ""arter of an hour before the opening of the tra -, dy. The time was between two and three o' clock at night, and all excepting Henschild were sleeping, most of them soundly. The assassin, upon whoso guilty conscience the weight of pre? vious crimes was no doubt pressing heavily, heard, far to the rear, the clatter of horses' hoofs. It was the two cavalry guardsmen who ordinarily accompany the overland coaches in their journeys, approaching from Alkali Station. His coward fears, it is believed, caused him to think they were coining, at Barlow's instigation, to arrest him, and he at once began his work of mur der. With the right hand he discharged i pistol, the ball from which entered the back and passed out at the breast of Mr. Bice, killing him instantly. The same ball he expected would kill Mr. Steitz, who sat in une with and directly in front of Bice, but it only Erazed the hand against which he waa leaning his ead while sleeping. With the left simultaneous? ly he thrust a butcher knife at the breast of the other armed passenger, Mr. McCaul. It pene? trated the lapels of three coate, which the latter had on at the moment, and also his waiscoat and coat, wounding him slightly. Sitting next to the assassin, he comprehended the situation of affairs the moment he woke np, and instantly grappled with bim. Being encumbered with clothing, and his great coat being buttoned up, he could not draw his own pistol, but he so resolutely held the arms of his adversary that ne waa enabled to stop further murder. In the struggle Henschild's pistol went off three more times; ODO of the balle went through the brain of the already dead Mr. Bice, and the others grazed two more passengers. All this was but the work of an instant The in? mates, on being roused by the shots, thought the stage was attacked, and there were exclamations of "Drive on" and u8top" impulsively uttered. The driver stopped, and all pitched out, the body of Bice falline out of the door at the same mo? ment Mr. McCaul held on to the desperado a while longer, but, encumbered as he was and liable to be overpowered, ho let go hie antagonist and leaped out after the others. A conference was then held, at which Mr. Steitz suggested that he should be captured unharmed, as ne was, perhaps, crazy. Mr. 8., however, had ridden outside during the preceding time, und did not knew ot facts of which his companions were cognizant, that proved the existence of method in tho ruffian's madness. He therefore surrendered bis opinion, and agreed with the others that Hen sehild should be thoroughly disabled. A carbine was borrowed from the guard for the purpose, but it snapped on pulling the trigger. Mr. McCaul then discharged a pistol throe times through the side of the stage. The fellow exclaimed, "Oh 1 you have shot me in three places," and became motionless. Barlow approached and took hold of his feet to pull him through the door, when the latter rose and thrust at him with the knife with such effect that Barlow's side, fa;e and cheek were awfully gashed, and his tongue and mouth split open. The assassin next proceeded to repel fur? ther attempts by whetting his knile on a piece bf iron. McCaul now fired the contents of bis pistol, but owing to the darkness the effect was not fatal. He thereupon took the pistol of the deceased, Bice, and, guided by the stage lamp, which was lighted and held by Steitz, he fired "everal more shots with better aim. Henschild, as if imbued with the desperation of resisting even death itself, did not expire until twelve hours afterwards. Th? Atlantic Telegraph. The following article on this enterprise is from the New York Evening Post : It seems to be certain that another serious ef? fort to establish telegraphic communication be? tween Europe and the United States wiU be made during the coming summer. The energy and hopefulness of the Atlantic Telegraph Company are worthy of the highest praise, for, although two great cables he at the bottom of the ocean, and heavy capital has been sunk with no hope of return, disaster does not check the enterprise nor cool the zeal of the directors. Even patient and long suffering stockholders do not murmur, but submit willingly to new assessments, and the stock of the company has gone up in the London market. A new company has been formed in England, under the title of the "Anglo-American Telegraph Company," with a capital of $3,000,000. This company will act as the agent for the old organi? zation, and an issue of twelve per cent preference stock has been made for the purpose of providing the necessary funds. The anuna! meeting of the shareholders of the old company, held in London on the 8th instant, accepted this arrangement, and renewed confidence in the final success of the enterprise was freely expressed. Old and new interests are, therefore, united. The manufacture of the new cable is going on rapidly, about one hundred miles having been finished weekly for some months past. The Great Eastern will again be employed in laying the cable, and it is intended that she shall start in the latter part of June or the beginning of July. The elec? trical tests applied to the remains of last year's cable, still on board the Great Eastern, produce satisfactory results, showing that the long stow? age in the tanks has not injured the continuity. The new cable-much stronger than that of last year-contains, in every mile, besides the Manilla which holds the composition, seven miles of cop? per wiro, four miles of gutta percha, ten miles of galvanized wire, and fifty miles of Manilla spun yarn-so that in every mile of cable there are seventy-one miles of material. It is understood that an attempt will be made to recover the lost part of the cable by grappling; but this will be merely incidental to the greater work of laying a new fine, for which an abundant length of wire will bo provided. The Great Eastern will carry the wholo of tho new cable and lay it from Ireland to Newfoundland, and alter coaling will return to the mid-Atlantic to grapple for the lost end. New grappling-goar is in pre? paration, which is believed to bo capable of re? covering all that was sunk; but tho procesa will be difficult, and it is not safo to rely upon the success of this part of tho new experiment. The English journals speak Hopefully of the pro-pect. Tho London Daily News observes that " tho qualities of tho Croat Eastern remove half the diiliculties that would attend the layinp; of a cable from a first-class steamer of the ordinary dimensions. Her unequalled steadiness, the re? sult of her size, and the perfect control over her movements which is obtaiuod by the joint usu of paddles and screws, make the work she has to do vir ?"ally independent of the accidents of weather. Ar el an equal measuro of confidence may bo placed in ier paying out machinery, which worked so perfectly last year. It is just as certain, that with g-od tackle aud strong hauling in machinery, a fault, when it occurB, may be lifted from a depth of two thousand feet, and cut out on board the ship, when the cable may be spliced and laid in perfect condition. Moreover, it is proved that in a depth of two miles a cable may bo caught up at the bottom of the sea by the grapnel; this op?ration having been performed throe times in 18G5. In fact, more than four nautical miles of the Atlantic cable were recovered last year from a depth of over two miles. It is further a great advantage that electrical testing at sea can be conducted with such entire certainty that the existence of a fault in the cable may be discovered in less than a minuto after its occurrence, and its position in the cable accurately ascertained." The wisdom gained through repeated disap? pointments is useful in all enterprises of thia kind, in which many novel difficulties aro to bo over? come, and new applications of scientific skill are required. The improvements made in the experi? ment of last year gave BO much assurance vi a practical advance since 1853, that there was a rea? sonable hope of final success; and the failure of 1^15 was really an accident in which ordinary pre? cautions naturally failed. The faults of last year may ho remedied next summer, and, in anv event, the enterprise will be regarded with increasing interest. ?
