These accidents are becomiug numerous, and some effort should be male to protect tho thoughtless and ignorant from the dangers that are daily occurring from the use of explosive horning finid. -The French] Atlantic Cable, it is announced, will be oompleted by Jane 1st, only one hun? dred and seventy miles of the line having to he made. The Groat Eastern, with the cable aboard, and with the tenders, will leave Sheer? ness, noar the mouth of tbe Thames, on Jone 10th, and, after coaling at Portland, will pro* ooo a to Brool. From Sioat tUo atout IlaotviM will immediately start for St. Pierre, off New? foundland, while two other ships will sail for St. Pierre direct, to lay the portion of the line between St. Pierre and Duxbury, Massachu? setts. The land line from Duxbury to New York is already in course of construction. -TheDetTo:t Free Press makes the follow? ing singular statement : "Senator Chandler loft here, with his family and servants, on Sat? urday night, for New York, where ho will re? main a few. days preparatory to sailing to Europe. His wife and daughter each tako with them a colored female servant, and be takes two black male servants. These servants are to be fitted out while ia New York with very showy livery. The coats of the men servants are to be of lavender color, with white buttons, upon which is the Michigan coat of arms, ex? cept that the stags support the letter C, which is of red enamel, with gold edge. The female servants wear large belt buckles bearing the same design as that upon the battons. The bats of the men are blaok, with a wide purple band and ' a large silver cockade, ia the centre of which is one of the brittons aforesaid. -The statistics of divorce in Connecticut are startling. Daring last year the divorces numbered four hundred sad seventy-eight, or mon than one-tenth the number of morriiges. . AU the. marriages celebrated in the State dur? ing the year are included in the total of 4784. ? The Norwich Bulletin says: "A large propor ' tion of t beso are marriages between foreign? ers, communicants of the Roman Catholic Church, who, except in very rare oases, nevar trouble the courts. The twen y-?ve unhappy couples whose names adorned the Superior Court docket for this county at its last term ara, without exception, native citizens. Add to this tho number who are practically divorced, but who, from family or other considerations, neglect to obtain a legal separation, and the extent of the evil will be made apparent." The new Governor of Connecticut has recom commtnded to the Legislature a modification of the existing divorce laws, the provisions of which are so lax that there ii hardly any appli? cation for divorce which the judges could le? gally refuse. -Last Wednesday, in New Tork City, an election was held among the Methodists for five trustees to take charge of the usual groat camp meeting, to bs held at Sing Sing, in Au? gust. The female members wore entitled to vote, and as groat complaints wero made last year by this portion of the church in regard to the unfair and injudicious allotment of the tents, great excitement prevailed. Five print? ed tickets, containing the names of the candi? dates differently combined, were distribated by canvassers stationed noai the polls, bat "scratching" also prevailod to some extent. By six o'clock only thirty-five female votes bsd been cast, hut according to tho tactics of an ordinary political election, the women reserved their strength ti\l the last moment, and at 8 o'clock, the time ot closing the polls, came up in a large body of near a hundred, to deoide the contest. Io addition, the married women exercised a supervision over their husband's ?otea, examining tbe ticket and depositing it in tho box, with tho remark in some cases : "You may -vote that, dem ; tL?L? aii right.* This incident caused fhe genera! observation, "That's what we're coming to." -The newest of the new plans for connect? ing England with Franco by railway, is that of a submerged iron tuba, to be supported at a depth of about SO feet below the s?rtaos of the water by iron trostlos, the feet of which will rest upon tbe bed of the straits. The tube is to ba in Its outside diameter 28 feet 6 inches, add With a View of giving it sufficient strength it la to be of cast iron, 8 inches in thickness. Ita length between each pair of legs or sup? ports la to be 800 feet, and the weight of eaoh o? thcso soot iona 8000 tons. Each of those lengths is to be mado up of 8 segments of 07 root 6 inches, and tbose aro to bo firmly boltod together by means of steel bolts passing through extornal flanges. Each sogmont will bo mado wator-tight by a bulkhead, aud will bo lowered until it is brought into exact posi? tion with tho portion previously fixed, and when made fast by the bolts the near bulk? head will bo removed, and tho workmen will paas on to tho next eosmont. Tho ventillation of Hie tube is to bo provided by stationary steam power at one of tho entrances to the tubo, which will force a sufficiency of air through a channel constructed along the inner roof of the tube to a point about midway of its entire length, whore it will be discharged and force itself along the tube to either end. All this sounds impracticable enough; but we live in an age of marvels, and perhaps the tho scheme may one day be raalized. ^CHARLESTON. TUESDAY MORNING, JCNE 1, 1869. Our Wester ct Connections. The report of John B. Lafitte, Esq., the representative of the City of Charleston, before the City Council of Cincinnati, is a clear and comprehensive summary of the arguments in favor cf a railway connection between the Queen of the West and the great seaport of South Carolina. And while it shows conclusively that the most advanta? geous terminus for the proposed Southern road is Knoxville and not Chattanooga, it gives us the encouraging assurance that whatever route may finally be adopted, we shall have a connection with both Louisville and Cincinnati, by the time that the Blue Ridge Railroad is completed. The Knox? ville route would give Cincinnati a connec? tion with Norfolk and with the railroad systems of North Carolina, Georgia, and Alabama, as well as with Charleston, but even if the less favorable route via Chatta? nooga be chosen we shall still be able, by Laking advantage of the commercial energy af Louisville, to reach up into the heart of the West. Cincinnati, no less than Charleston, wiU be benefited by obtaining a cheap and rapid communication with our seaboard. If we send to her the foreign produce, the salt ind other commodities that she may require, the West will send to us the iron and coal if Tennessee, provisions of every kind, and the manufactured artioles which Cincinnati san produce more cheaply than any city of the East. These facts, now for the first time, of late years, forced upon the atten? tion of the people of Ohio, will have great weight in determining the manner of ex? pending the ten millions of money which Cincinnati is authorized to lay out in build? ing a Southern railroad. And, however, much private interests may be opposed to the Knoxville route, its claims are now so itrong that they cannot well be ignored. If Knoxville be indeed made the termi? nus, the result will be due to the exertions of Mr. Lafitte, President Harrison, of the Blue Ridge road, Chief Engineer Low, and the other gentlemen who have so faithfully represented the interests of our City and State. And in any event, we may ?aw go to work with the assurance that it rest? with ourselves *. <*eoi?e whether the mil? lions already ?pent are to be thrown away, or whether by adding to them we make th? whole profitable, and secure that commer? cial prise which has so often eluded our grasp. Mr. Lafitte is especially forcible in hi? statement of th? reasons which should in? duce ns to strata every nerve to secure the prompt completion of the Blue Ridge Rail? road. These reasons need not be recapitu? lated hero. Bat in assuming that the com? pletion of the Bin? Ridge Railroad is th? on? great object for which to strive, we must not forgot that we hove no reason to hope for any outside help. Cincinnati and Louisville already have their hand? full; they will push forward towards oar bor? ders. We must be ready to meet them.. The State Legislature ha? already au? thorized the guarantee of four millions of dollars for the completion of the Blue Ridge Railroad, and has pledged the faith and credit of South Carolina to the punctual payment of the bonds that may ba issued for that purpose. Bat the great work will require about six millions, and it is all-im? portant that it should not be suffered to lag for want of funds. South Carolina has, at this time, fuUy $200,000,000 of taxable pro? perty, and this must be so increased in amount by the opening of the Blue Bldg? Road and tho influx of new trod? and com? mer?a, that we ?hall be able to pay, if ne? cessary, the whole interest on tho money to be ?pent in building the road, and yet be less oppressed by taxation than we aro at this tim?. We can give an abundant secur? ity for all our debt, and as th? Bin? Bldg? Railroad is for th? benefit of th? whole State, we should bo ready to give it assist? ance from th? common fund, and so hasten the coming of the day which shall link South Carolina and Ohio together, and make each the means of swelling th? for? tune of the other. We repeat, that the completion of the Blue Ridge Railroad is the one thing to which we must direot all our efforts. The State, th? oily and individual citizens must never slacken their endeavors until the great work is accomplished. A Good Mam ?one, The aotive business oiroles of the South? west have not received, for a long time, so gravo a blow a? has been dealt them in th? casualty by wbioh Colonel L. T. Woodruff, of Mobile, lost hi? lifo. Ho waa one of the beet of the old sohool of Southern mer? chants, and hi? dignity, courtesy, and nie? ?.ns? of honor were only equalled by hi? untiring energy, enterprise, and pnbllO spirit M ? eRIem. Ia tbs w?r, Woore a conspicuous and honorable yart as eolonel of an Alabama regiment, and ?ino? tho close of hostilities the unflagging seal walo* he baa displayed la th? work of Ot? material restoration of our section, Won foi him th? Presidency of th? Mobile Board of Trad*. Colonel Woodruff waa well known io many of our elMt?n?, sad tb? writer can never forgot th? genial hospitality with whioh th? members of the press were wel? comed by him during a reoent vlolt to Mo? bil?. T**e Presbyterians of the North. Some days ago we had a brief announce? ment by telegraph of the steps whick had been taken by the Presbyterian General Assemblies in New York to reconcile the differences which have so long separated the Old and New Schools of that denomina? tion. The New York papers bring us the particulars of the basis of reunion which has been agreed upon by the two bodies. The doctrinal differences whioh led to the separation of the Old and New School de? nominations in 1838, oonsistcd mainly in a more or less rigid construction of the stand? ards of the church, especially with refer? ence to the doctrines of eleotion, original sin, &o , the Old School aooepting more in? flexibly the oreed of Calvin, whilst the Confession of Faith was interpreted by the New Sohool in a less literally Calvinistic sense. The basis of reunion now adopted requires that "the Confession of Faith shall ?continue to be sincerely received and "adopted as containing the system of doo "trine taught in the Holy Scripture." As each sohool had professed to do this in its separate organization, there would seem to be no difference on that point warranting a permanent separation. The plan of reunion abstains from deciding the original ques? tions at issue, and eaoh party is left to put its own construction upon the standards, only that henceforth the differences upon these points are not to interfere with the unity and harmony of the church. This plan has yet to undergo the discussion of the various Presbyteries of the two As? semblies, Who are to express their approval or disapproval before the 15th of October next, and if approved of by three fourths of eaoh, the two Assemblies, meeting in Pitts? burg in November next, sholl so deolare, and take aotion for formal reunion. Tho unanimity and heartiness evinoed in the aotion of the Assemblies would seem to warrant the belief that the Presbyteries will aot in the same spirit, and that the reunion of the two oburohes will be fully completed in November next. This, however, is not, as some have sup? posed, a reunion of the Northern and Southern Presbyterian churches; though that subject came up for discussion in the Old Sohool Assembly on a report of the com? mittee on bills and overtures, and was re? ferred to a special oommittee. The Mode? rator, however, stated that any aotion at the present time might be damaging to the peaoe of the Southern church, and would be inopportune.
