TRE Unitep States, ENGLAND AND TRE ATLANTIC CaBLe.—The New York Commer- meTeial notices the nice es between the Queen, the Presiden and o' es in or- der to ask:—“How long, in case of war between England and this country, would American dispatches be tolerated on thesnbmarine wires!

I therefore took the 7 a.m. train for Baltimore, connecting with the 9.15 train on be Northern Central railroad, reaching here atidp.m. After a very refreshing nig&t's rest, under blankets, 1 arose early, to find myself in & narrow valley. surrounded on al) sides by the spurs of the Alleghanies, which here tower above us to the height of 1,300 feet, covered With forests of hemiock, birch, white pine and chestnut, with here and there mighty bonlaers of granite jutting from their sides, reminding the tourists of the crim old castles and towers that frown down upon the KNine away in “ Faderland.” Lycoming Creek, Rock Run, and Red Run, three beautiful streams, come ljeaping down through the gorges ot the moun- tains, jorming many lovely cascadesand water- falls, and furnishing to the disciples of Isaac Walton excellent sport in + trouting,” some of our party catching mountain trout meas- uring sixteen imches long: and to those who enjoy the batb, the and rapids to be found of these streams present every attraction There is also an abundance of game, such as deer, bears, pheasants and rail, to be found on the mountyins, and ‘e for the first time in many years | had the pleasure of seeing and hearing the woodcock drumming. There is al+o another kind of game, no: somuch sought for, but 1 quite plentiful, viz: rattlesnakes. onr party baving killed two monsters during the week. They measured four and four and one bals feet long, with six and seven rattles, indicatiny nine and ten years of age. Phere are also several semi-bituminous coal mines near, only one of which is a! present in ope ation, We mace up a party and visited i! After traveling up a rough and ver Mountain, one thousand feec high, suddenly to the mouth ofthe mine, whic en'ers the mountain on the northern side. As we drew near the entrance the sound of an ex- plosion far in the bowels of the mountain, seemed like distant heavy arullery, and shook the mine to its meuth. In afew moments miners appeared, pushing before them two small cars filled with coal: they proved to be regular English coal miners, aud in their pe- culiar costumes presented a rather novel sight to us lowlanders. Atter making some in- quiries as to their mode of life, &c., we in- quired of one what disease the miners seemed most to suffer with, and were quickly and frankly answeted, ~of drunken sickness.” Un- fortunately. 1 fear, too true. He invited us to enter the mine, but none aecepted, save your correspondent, who, with some trepidaticn. crawled three hundred feet into the mountain tbrough 4 horizontal shaft thirty-three inches high and about thirty-six inches wide, with water constantly dripping upon me all the way, and the bettcm composed of a soft mix- ture of coal dust and water. The little lamp which the miners wear on their caps (one of which had been oe me) seemed only to make “darkness visible,” and as I crawled slowly forward, 1 found it most difficult to di- vest myself of the feeling that the mountain would “Jet down on me.” A printer's ink tab does not approximate the terrible blackness of 4 coal mine, and 1 made up my mind if ever I got out safely, that I would never again com- plain of the price of coal; for I think they earn all they get for it. After proceeding some dis- tance the foul air caused by the blast became Nery oppressive, and I halted, thinking to re- turn; but being assured of safety by one of the miners, I took courage. and finally succeeded in exploring the mine thoroughly. In turning tocome ent 1 accidentally extinguishea my light, and was forced to gTope my way to the entrance as I best could, and was glad enough to breathe the pure mountain air again. and look up to the bright sun, that lovely type of the great «Light of the World.” Descending rapidly we arrived at the Ralsien House, m the valley below, in time to sup on “mountain trout,” and the saany other good things prepared tor ns. There are many iron mimes and iron ard sulphur springs {n the vicinity. and many other points of interest among the mountains. @ne path which leads ever the mountains to a deserted miner's yil- Isge. called the “Whiskey Path,” proved to our party to be well watered, as they were caught on the menuntains and thorongbiy drenched by rious rain. Most of the ladies of the party are Washingtonians, and if their triends could have sen them in their “col. lapsed state.” they would not have recognized those who, with expanded crinoline, sweep so majestically our noble avennes To-morrow 1 shall leave for “Watkins,” sit- uated at the he: of ~-Seneca Lake,” v York, and im my ext will cive your rm some account! of ats wonderful glen scenery, lake fishing, &c LowLanp. INDIVINTAL PREDISPOSITION TO CHOLERA. In ery place, in every house visited by cholera, nearly all the inhabitants are exposed, to a greater or less extent, to the influence of the cholera poison. Mostof them feela change im their usual health, yetonly a few wholly succumb to the disease. The power of with- standing the epidemic is very different in dit- ferent individuals. Everything that weakens, that over-stimulates or otherwise makes the bowels unusually susceptible. er that drives the biood from the surface of the body into the internal organs, or whatever diminishes the natural excretions of the body, does amjury. and predisposes any person to the disease. Every person must avoid what his experisnce bas taught him that will produce diarrhea. impure water and decaying articles of food must be avoided. The food must be strength- ening, but always moderate. Intoxicating liquors must not be freety used. Intemperate persons suffer severely from the disease. Keep the bowels warm. for which purpose use flan- nel bands. Ventilation of dweilin; utmost importance. We see how 1 overcrowded ships and jails, where ease produces the most terrible havoc: and if persons who are infected with cholera in any place, directly afterward go to live in foul air. they are likely to be seized with the full force of the disease, while those who go to healthy homes and pure air may suffer little or nothing at all from their exposure to the cholera. Poison in the infected district Therefore all dwell- ings should be thoroughly ventilated and cleaned when an epidemic comes. People must keep the doors and windows of their bouses nm, regardless of the weather, and protect emselves meanwhile by clothing The common practice ga | chloride of Ime in rooms where the air is corrupt is not & good substitute for ventilation.

As itis generally understood that after once killing & man those animals are dangerous, the director ofthe circus decided upon having it it killed. and for that purpose applied to the authorities of Friburg for a piece of cannon. This was granted, and the animal having been enticed into a favorable ition, the gun was fired, and the brate tell dead. 87 At Worcester, Mass., & number of Inds bung like squirrels to the sides and windows of the car, jojning in the call of + * n.” “The civilian general, rising, pointed the boys to a military gentle. man ia the car, dreseed im uniform, where- upon 8 bright-eyed urchin responded, «Uan’t come that, general.
