A sad, @ memorable day in the annals of Atlantic tele” with which the sight was witnessed and the news Seard. When a man came aft with a piece of the {ower end lashed still to the chain aud one saw the tortured strumde, torn wires and lacorated core, it is no exaggeration to say that strange feelings of pity, as thougt. some human creature had been mutilated and dragged asunder by bratal force, passed through the hearts of the spectators. Captain Moriarty was juat coming to the foot of the com - panion to put up his daily statement of the ship's posi- tion, having had excellent observations, when the nows came. “I feel,” he said, “we will not feel much interested now in knowing how far we are from Heart’s Content. However, it was something to know, although it was little comfort, that we had now fun precisely one hun- dred and sixteen miles since yesterday, that we were one thousand and sixty-two miles from Valentia, six hundred and eighty miles from Heart's Content, that we were in lat. 51 25, long. 32 96, fications from those recently published. a In contradiction to the above, an opinion has been o fidently expressed to-day by parties competent to judge, that the government will not undertake the trial of Wirz, but will cause that person to give States evidesicé sn the approaching trial of Jefferson Davis, whereby it will be proved that the rebel President was the direct and prime instigator of tbe cruelties practised upon Union prisoners and the numberless other atrocities which were from time to time committed in deflance of the usages of war. Tho continual delay that, has occurred in bringing Wirz to trial, which has now been impending for upwards of a month, argues strongly in favor of the above statement. It is known that Wirz has expressed his desire to make important revelations as to the extent that Davis was implicated in the outrages of the Southern prisons, MR. ANDREWS’ REQUEST FOR INFORMATION AND THE HERALD'S REPLY. The publication of Mr. Andfews’ letter of inquiry and the Herawp’s pithy response, concerning the authorship of a communication published in its columns on the 25th ult., has excited considerable merriment here at the former's expense and greatly increased his indignation. He believes it to have emanated from geome clerk in his own bureau, and is reported to have instituted some sort of informal proceeding, by: which he hopes to discover the obnoxious individual. COUNTERFEIT TREASURY NOTES. Several counterfeit one dotlar United States notes were recently presented at the Treasurer's office for redemp- tion, but were readily detected by the experts in that bureau, There were numerous counterfeit fifties, but none, 20 far as is known, of the denominations of one thousand, five hundred and twa dollars. All others are counterfeited, THE CHOLERA IN SPAIN. The government has been officially informed by a let- ter dated Port Mahan, Minorca Island, July 27, that the cholera had made its appearance on the coast of Spain. The civil Governor of the island had given direction that proper care t-takon to prevent the snreading of the disease sould vessels arrive having tt on . ard. BOSTON APPOINTMENTS. The following Boston appointments were made by the President to-day:—Hon. Hannibal Hamlin, Collector of the port, viee Mr. Goedrich; Daniel W. Gooch, Surveyor of Customs, vite Mr. Phelps; and A. B. Underwood, Naval Officer, vice Mr. Tuck. : ° APPOINTMENT OF INTERNAL REVENUE OFFICERS. dames B. Gamble was appointed Collector. of Internal Revenue for the district of Florida, and Benjamin Me- Donough Assessor for the Eirst district of Texas. . FORD'S THEATRE BUILDING, ‘Tho contrast for converting Ford's theatre into a fire proof building, as a depository for the rebel archivos, has been awarded to Richard Dunbar, of Brooklyn, at $28,000. After midnight the wind arose, accompanied by heavy ‘showers of rain and dense drifts of fog, and increased to /@ strong gale to the southwest; but the ship scarcely felt ‘dt, and went on paying out the cable without hindrance ‘atahigh rate of speed—seven knots an hour: About daybreak the wind suddenly shifted to north northwest, and fell to a light breeze, and gt four A. M. the course ‘was altered to northwest by west half west, the sca ‘following. Morning broke in beautiful, and the cable ran ‘out easily at the rate of seven miles an hour. = \ ANOTHER DEFECT DISCOVERED. At 5:35 A. M., ship's time, the paddles were stopped, @ndat 5:45the ship was stopped by orders from the electrician’s room. In fact, at eight A. M., Greenwich time, or a minute after, whilst the electrians were pasa- ing the first of the half hourly signals of currents to tht shore, the galvanometer suddenly detected a flow of electricity, which indicated a serious fault. The test gave no result as to locality, for the fault was very varying; but it was generally believed to be not far from the sternofthe steamship. It appears that while Mr. ‘Cyrus Field was on the watch in the tank, a little before ‘the time of the accident, a grating noiso was audible as ‘the cable flew over the coil astern. One of (the experienced hands immediately said “There isa piece of wire,” and, called to the lookout jman above to pass the information aft; but ‘mo notice appears to have been taken of tho ‘circumstance. After the ship was stopped and the re- mainder of the flake paid out a piece of wire was seen * jprojecting out of tho cable in the flake, underneath that in which tho fault was suspected to exist, and on one of ‘the men taking it in his fingers and trying to bend tt 4 down, the wire broke short off, It was nearly three ‘tnches long, and had evidently been of hard, ill-tem- (pered metal, which had flown out through the'threads in @he tank: The discovery was in some measure a relict the men’s minds that one, certainly aud, possibly, the ’ of the preyious faults might have been the rosult of accident. It was remarked, however, that this fault jarred in the same watch as all the previous ones had. ¢ fault was too Kerious to be overlooked, and as there jwas a diMoulty in dotecting its situation, preparations swore made to get the picking up apparatus ready. i THE CABLE CUT, ‘Previous to doing so two cuts were mado in the cable, tthe first Rear the old splice, between the main and the ‘fore tanks. Cable all right. The second cut was three ‘niles om board, which showed the fault to be overboard. « The wire rope and the chain wire were secured to the able torward, which showed a maximum strain of twenty-three and a ‘half hundred weight; and at five yminutes past nine o'clock, Greenwich time, the cable ‘was sevored and went over the stern, one thousand ono hundred and sixty-six miles having been payed out ‘when the end splashed into the water. {HAULING IN THE CABLE. With leas difficulty than usual—in fact, with compara- Alvo facility—the cable was hauled in over the bows. At ‘eight minutes past ten o'clock A. M., Greenwich time, ‘ithad been hauled by the port side of the ship, and as ithe wind stood, she drifted over the course of the cable, t came up readily. The strain on it, according the indicator, being from fifty to fifty-five fe weight, although the latter figure re. raga the maximum, only reached on one occasion. Another Account. H. B. M. Steamsuse TerniBur, August 11, 1965, H, B. M. STRAMSHIP TERRIBLE ig about the Groat Eastern steamship this 11th day of August, 1865, having been in company with her since July 23, when the splice was niade with the shore end of the cable, twenty-seven miles from Valentia, since which date one thousand two hundred and twelve miles of cable have been paid out, the distance from Valentia being one thousand and sixty-three ‘miles, and Heart's Content, Trinity Bay, Newfoundland, six hundred miles, The cable parted on the 2d of August, at thirty-five minutes past twelve P. M., in soundings of two thousand nine hindred yards, latitude 51 25, longitude 32 98, under the followta¢ circumstances :— A partial ’ LOS3 OF INSULATION having been discovered on August 2, the ship stopped to pick up six miles of the cable, within which it was sup- posed by electrical test that the fault lay. The cablo was passed from the stern to the bow of the ship for the pur- poss of recovering it. Aftor getting in by steam machinery two miles of cable, the fault being still ovor- board, the cable broke about ten yards on board of the wheel at the bow, being injured by chafing on the stern of théship. Two previous faults had been discovered. in soundings of half a nautical mile and two miles in depth, and had been successfully picked up by the same machinery and the faults cut out, In the. tipst case ton miles and in the second two and a half miles were hauled in when the cablo parted. Tae @Rarwrt, * ‘was let overboard, with two.and a half miles wire rope, the ship being so placed ag to drift over the line of cable; thecabio was hooked after the expiration of several hours. When two thousand and two hundred yards of the wire rope bi n hauled in a swivel in the lattor gave way and two thousand and six hundred yards of rope were loat—having lifted the cable one thousand and~ two hundred yards from the ground. A buoy with a flag was moored, with five thousand yards of rope to mark the place it is in—latitude 51 28, longitude 38 42.30 ASRCOND ATTEMPT ‘was made to grapple 7th of August, and was unsuccess- from the same cause, two yards of rope being hauled in. Another buoy was placed im latitude 61 25.30, longitude 356. PARDONS. L. L, Stevenson and Michael G. Harmon, of Staunton, Virginia, were pardoned by the President to-day. Tho rebel General J. A. Smith, of Tennessee, applied for pardon to-day. CONSOLIDATION OF THR THIRTEENTU- AND SIX- TRENTH NEW YORK CAVALRY. The Thirteenth and Sixteenth Now York Cavalry Vol- unteers were yesterday consolidated, aud oow bear the pame of the Third Provisional Cavalry. The superau- morary officers are being mustered out. PERSONAL. Major General Geary arrived in Washington this morning. Colonel M. R. Morgan, Commissary of Subsistence, United States Army, has been ordered to Leavenworth, Kansas, to take charge of that department, and will leave in'a few days. Brigadier General W. P. Benton, formerly Colonet of the Eighth Indiana, has resigned. Upon hearing of the serious illness of Governor Brough, of Ohio, Secretary Stanton detailed Surgeon Judson to proceed immediately to Cleveland to consult end assist in his medical treatment. Chicf Justice Chase has arrived in the city and is stop- ping at his residence. Secretary Seward and family and Attorney General Speed are expected to arrive from Cape May to-night. SURVEY OF THE ROUTE OF THE OREGON CENTRAL MILITARY RAILROAD, The President of the Oregon Central Military Railroad Company has forwarded from Eugene City, Oregon, to the General Land Office a survey of that route extending from the above city in a southeasterly direction for some thirty-six miles, which distance is already in successfu running operation, The line of the road takes the gen- ¢ral direction of the Middle fork of the Williamette river and pursues its route to the eastern boundary of the ‘State, from whence it may follow the line of the pro- posed emigrant route. By an act of Congress, approvea July 2, 1964, alternate sections of public lands designated by odd numbers, and three sections in depth, lying on each side of the route for the distance above described, ‘were granted the State of Oregon to aid in the construc- tion of this road: A THIRD ATTEMET ‘was made on the 10th of August. The grapnel came up with chain foul around the fluke, the bottom covered with ooze, It is believed the) grapnel touched the cable’ a couple of hours aftor it Jouchod the ground. ‘THE FOURTH ATTEMPT was made on the 11th of August, which also failed, hav- ing raised the cable six hundred yards from the bottom. Having now exhausted the stock of rope any further attempts became impossible. The following practical conclusions have beon arrived at by those engaged in various capacities in the expedi- tion: — First—That the steamship Great Eastern, from her size and sea-going qualities, can carry and lay an Atlantic telegraph cable safely in any weather. Second—That the paying out machinery, constructed for the purpose by Messrs, Canning & Clifford, works perfectly, and can be confidently retied on. That the in- gulation of the gutta percha conductor improved by reason of the reduction of the temporature afd the great pressure at the bottom of the ocean, and was more than double what it had been before starting, proving itsolf to be the best insulated cable ever manufactured, and many times higher than the standard required by the cmtract. The cause of the two faults which were picked up was in each case a perforation of the gutta percha through to the copper by a piece of iron wire found sticking in the cable. Electrically, the third fault was analogous to the first. The difficulty can be guarded against in the con- struction of future cables. FiurthThat nothing lias ocourred to create tho least doubt, in the minds of practical men engaged in the pi moti of successful laying and working of the Atlantic Telegraph Cable, but, on the contrary, their confidence in the undertrking has been largely increased by the a “goed thes obtained. fe were, however, nearly in two thousand fathoms of ‘water, but it was considered a favorable circumstance ‘ ‘what we had not got in a few miles further, as we should +" fthen have been in the Atlantic plateau. As far as could (be ascertained the ship was now over a gentle elevation, on the top of which there was only one thousand nine Jbundred and fifty fathoms of water. ‘THE PICKING UP was, as usual, exceedingly tedious, and one hour and «forty-six minutes elapsed before one mile was got on oard. Then ome of the ongine’s occentric gear gut out sof order, so that @ man had to stand by with a hand- + jepike, aided ty a wedge of wood and elastic band, to as- pint the engines.
