Eben ~~ - THE ATLANTIC CABL Vacentia, Oct. 15.— Nothing stirri the fact that the cable between the i the mainland, which belon and Irish Magnetic Telegraph C A WOMAN BRUTALLY ASSASSINATED. In Cincinnati, one evening last week, Chas. Cook, Wm. Seiter and. Wm. Swift, visited a house kept by one Caroline Davis. they entered the house, a conversation com- menced between Seit nd the deceased, whore name was Kate Beareau. Seiter urged her to accompany him to a room, but she refused He tuld ber he had money to give her; to which she replied, * if you have got an joney, you had better take it home and give it » your sis- ter.’ This was said in the hall. Seiter then followed her into the sitting room, where the other young men and the girls were, knocked her down, and kicked her on the face, head and body. Kate raised from the floor, when Seiter remarked, with an oath, “You sban’t throw up wy sister to me;’’ knocked herdown again, and repeated the kicking in a most brutal manner. Cook then seems to have also taken an active part in the affair, and repeating the language of Seiter, that she should not throw up his sis- ter to him, knocked her down. Both then at- tempted to drag her to the door. ewearing they would take her to the watch house, and have all in the house arrested. The girl got clear of them, and going into the sitting room, seized 4 spittoon; when the witness, Mrs. Daria, cried out that the watchmen were coming, and Seiter and Swift left by a side gate, leaving Cook still engaged with the deceased; Seiter telling Cook. as the former left the house, to * Kitt her.’ Cook then whirled her around, pulled a knife from his pocket, stabbed her in the left side, and raninto t#® yard. The wound inflicted was a horrible one, being about five inches in length on the surface, and reaching so deep as to cut the left lung nearly in two! The wounded woman, who was covered with blood, lived perhaps twenty minutes. After the fatal blow was struck, she raised herself ee from the floor by one elbow upon a jounge, and called fora glass of water; which, with a spasmodic effort, she threw into her mouth, and then, with an oath, exclaimed to Cock, ‘* You have stabbed me.”” _A minute after, one of the girls bent over Kate, and told her she could not live, and ad- vised her to pray. The sin-stained courtezan, in that honr of blood, could realize the neces- slty of prayer—of asking forgiveness for the manifold transgressions of her erring sister, whose spirit was rapidly passing to its final ac count. And the victim of “the liberty of the knife” did pray, while the gaping wound in her side gave utterance to a biceathing sound with every word that was uttered. She prayed for herself, for her husband and child, and sank into the arms of death with the prayer still upon her lips. What a scene for a brothel ! Cook, the alleged murderer, is, perhaps, 20 years of age or thereabouts, and is the son of a wealthy citizen. 1 Mr. Cuay to tax Bors.—The Western Farmers’ Almanac for 1839, contains a letter from the sage of Ashland to one of his name- sakes, which has never before been published, and is so characteristic of that great man that we take pleasure in transferring it to our ool- umns: ompany, again failed on the 12th, and although the weather was far from fine yesterday, it was uuderrun by their agent, Mr. Walker, and found to have been severed about ten yards nearer th: island than thelast time. T day, if fine, it is to be again spliced; in the meantime, Mr. Walker has now and then to croz3 over to the mainland where the iron hut forms an office. to see if eesages waiting at Killarney artholomew teudent of the Atlantic telegraph here, rer a telegraphic message that was posted in Kil larney, to the effet that until further orders, no current was to be sent into the cables ex- cept that generated by Henley’s evils. Yes- terday afternoon Mr. Kell, who went out last August in the Niagara, and who has only re- turned within the past fortnight, to America, arrived for the purpose of laying the long talked ef shore cable, which has been daily expected around from London in a sloop. “Mr. Keil says the rejoicings at New York passed all belief, and he thinks Mr. Cyrus W. Field will, tor the fifth time, again come over to this county. This director has the reputation of being most act- ive, although the chairman of the company, Mr. Samuel Gurney, M. P.. is very attentive Here it is said that they are waiting to obtain the Government guarantee of 4 per cent. for all the money laid out already and that might be required; but whether you ask the island- ers or the telegraph clerks, you get the same auswer. We have no knowledge wnat the di- rectors are doing or what they intend to do If a conclusive proof is required of their un- certain proceedings, I will mention that in 1857, the Niazara paid out 330 miles of cable, 18 of which was shore cable, although 15 miles were originally intended to be laid. Shortly after the first failure, the Leipzig steamer came round to take this up; 4} miles of shore cable were left down, the farthest end out to sea being anchore:l as it is at present ; {9 miles of the 330 were taken up, and more, I think, might have been, had Sir Charles Bright gone out himself. There is another half mile of shore cable coiled up under the sand on the mainland, so that there is actually at the sta- tion five miles of shore cable. When Mr. Whitehouse applied for more shore cable, there was 35 miles of it at Plymouth, since taken round to London. Now [ understand, after a delay of nearly three months, 5 miles of shore cable s to be sent round from London, which will make 10 miles in all, and would make 10 miles in length if the old shore cable is used. Now it is got likely the damage is in the first 10 miles, Ashough: of course, it is possible. The directors, oue would imagine, would try lay down afresh say 50 miles, 20 of shore and 3 of ordinary cable. Lhen Mr. Whitehouse’s ideas would be proved, as it is still quite pos- sible that the damage may be near snore, not- withstanding the contrary opinions ot Protessor Thomas, Varaley, Mr. Henley, &c. One thing is very certain, if the new shore end is laid, does not improve matters, the season is too far gone to do anything more this year, although signals from Newfoundland were evident yes- terday afternoon. The Atlantic Telegraph staff_at present consists of the Superintendent, Mr. Bartholomew, and five clerks or assistants, viz., Messrs. Collett, Kingsford, Calcutt, Bull, and Smith. These latter each daily wateh 4 hours and 43 minutes, and the present system is to try and send messages from Valentia at the even hours, say 4 to 5, 6 to 7, &c., and re- ceive at the odd. 1 believe all the staff here have got notice to leave the eompany on the 30th November, unless anything favorable turns up. [a all probability Mr. Kell, who has been connected with the Mediterranean cable, will be able to commence operations in about three days, and the general belief is, that the shore ead will be brought in past the lighthouse, in stead of round between Church Island and the mainland, as at present. The superintendent I know approves of this idea, as it avoids the Cress sea.—London Telegraph. Oct. 20 —$_$_——<-ce--—____— A Rewarkaece Crowivat Teian— Deferred Justice.—The Clayton (Ala.) Banner has a re- port of a remarkable criminal trial, just con- eluded in Henry county. Alabama More than fourteen years ago, in February, 1844, in Barbour county, John. a slave of Be. Alex- ander P. Crawtord, was most brutally whippet to death. The prisoner, who was then i Crawford's overseer, being immediately after the whipping, and while John was yet alive. charged with it and threatened with a prose- cution, fled from the neighborhood. Two years after he was arrested by Mr. Thomas Cargile in the city of Montgomery, passing under the mame of Boyd; and, being brought back to Barbour county, the (irand Jury at the spring term, 1346, found a true bill against him for murder. The venue was soon changed to Henry county, where the prisoner had formerly lived, and where he had some relatives and many friends; and trial being had at the spring term, I5i, before the Hon. Samuel Chapman, he was found guilty of murder and sentenced to the penitentiary for ten years— the jury, however, owitting in their verdict to ascertain the degree of the murder. On ac- count of this omission, the judgment gas re- versed by the Supreme Oourt, and the prisoner remanded for another trial. Various continu- ances were had, sometimes at the instance of the State and sometimes at that of the pris- oner. In the meantime the defendant having obtained bail, married in a respectable family, and had several children. The protracted or- deal through which he had passed, the interest felt in the family to whose fate he had singu- larly linked bis own, and the influence of a prudent and correct deportment on his part, excited a sympathy in his behalf so strong as apparently to set at defiance, and, in the ovin- ion of everybody, to put aconviction out of the question. The inevitable hour at length how- ever rolled around, and on Tuesday morning, in the presence of an immense crowd, the trial commenced. ‘The jury, about 4 0’clock on Sat- urday evening, retired, and having delibe- rated about 3) hours, returned a verdict of manslaughter in the first degree, with a unani- mnous recommendation of the prisoner to mercy the su ASHLAND, 7th July, 1845. My Dear Little Namesake: Your parents have done me the honor to give my name to you. On that account, male the request of Your good mother, I address this note, which she wishes to preserve for your perusal, when, by the lapse of time, you shall have attained an age that will enable you tecomprehend and appreciate its friendly purport. four parents entertain fong hopes of you, and you ought to strive not to disappoint them. They wish you to be good, respected, eminent. You ean realize their most sanguine hopes, if you firmly resolve to do so, by judicious em- ployment of your time and your faculties. Shun bad company and all dissipation—its in- evitable consequence. Study diligently and perseveringly. You will be surprised at the ease with which you will master branches of knowledge which, at first view, will frighten you. Make honor, probity, truth, and princi- ple your invariable guides. Be obedient, and always affectionately respectful to your par- ents. Assiduously cultivate virtue and reli- gion, the surest guarontee of happiness, both here and hereafter. In your intercourse with fellow beings be firm, but at the same time bland, courteous, and obliging. Recognise at all times the paramount right of your country to your most devoted service, whether she treats you ill or well, and never let :elfish views or interests predominate over the duties of patriotiem. by regulating yourself according to these rules you may become respected and great, be an ornament to your country, and a blessing to your parents. That such may be your des- tiny is the sincere wish of their and your friend. Ji. Cuay. Master Henry Clay, Coxtrapiction.—Mr. Thomas Winans, of Baltimore, contradicts the etatement of the London News as to the alleged frauds of cer- tein railroad contractors upon the Russian (iovernment. He says: “ [tis quite probable that the observations of Professor Strave, the astronomer, have es- tablished the fact that the true distance be tween St. Petersburg and Moscow by a straight line is less than that by the line of the railway. [t would be strange, indeed, if it were other- But it is difficult to conceive how the ength of a circuitous railway between two distant points can be established by ‘‘c*lcula- tions’’ made by an astronomer “relative to the true geographical positions’? of those two places. 1t is nowhere stated in the letter from St. Petersburg that the observations of the as- tronomer have suggested and led to the re- measurement of the railway track—the only proper mode of ascertaining its length—and we may fairly conclude that if such a meas- urement hud been made, and disclosed go start- ling a discrepancy as sixty miles, it would have beeu too important a fact in support of the English letter writer's purpose to have been omitted; and it may therefore be assumed, with entire plausibility and fairness, that this story rests upon no better foundation than that an astronomer has discovered that it is not so far from St. Petersburg to Moscow by an air line as by the route of a railroad necessarily prolonged by the character of the country through which it passes. I dismiss the sub- ject with an emphatic expression of my belief that this startling revelation is the result of the deliberate malice, or the scarcely less cul- pable ignorance, of the St. Petersburg corres- pondent of the London News, which, like many other English journals, is ever ready to give currency to any ma reflecting upon the good faith and honor of an American.’ Procress.—ur country began its career among the nations of the earth eighty-two years ago, with only thirteen States and a population ors 000,000.
