The Atlantic Cable. The work of taking the
Atlantic cable out of the A'jamemnon, as well as the
Niagara, had been completed. The cable is coiled
in water tight apartments, so as to admit of its be
ing submitted to a variety of tests under water.
During the whole of the Winter, Mr. Whitehouse,
the chief electrician of the Company, is to be en
gaged in experiments of a most interesting nature
upon the cable, so as to ascertain not only its elec
tric capabilities, but th rate at which each signal
can be transmitted, and the effect which the differ
ent periods of the day, the temperature and state of
the atmosphere have upon its conductability. The
attempt to lay the cable next year is to be made at
the end of June or beginning of July, and it has
been determined to resort to the plan originally con
templated, namely, to commence the submerging
process in the middle of the Atlantic, the two ves
sels engaged sailing respectively for the shores of
Newfoundland and Ireland. Three thousand miles
of cable are to be coiled on the vessels instead of
2,000 as in the first attempt, and the mnaufacture
of the additional quantity has been commenced.
Mr. Hyde, a Mormon recusant, has been lec
turing to large and interested audiences in Washing
ton City about the Utah Saints, and with particular
reference to the belligerent attitude of Brigham
Young. He speaks of Brigham as possessing extra
ordinary administrative abilities, with a strongly
posted and well armed body of fanatics to back him.
Of their 60,000 people, they number, 8,000 soldiers,
trained to arms and inured to active service ; and
they have manufactories of arms of all kinds of
balls, bombs and gunpowder. Mr. H. suggested
the repeal of the organic law of Utah Territory as a
means of divesting Brigham Young of any show of
legal authority ; and in order to intercept the 15,000
Mormon disciples, who are expecting to reach Salt
Lake City in the spring, he proposed that martial
law should be proclaimed throughout the Indian
eountry. '

"' The Register's Ready Relief. :
Our cotemporary of -the Warrenton ' 'News de
serves the thanks ot the public, and, especially of
our neighbor of the Register, for the clear and stri
king light in which he has set forth the virtues of
the great " R. R. R." of the'day. ' It mast be a good
medicine for those who feel inclined to take it. ,It
is said it will even " pay taxes," and do many other
things, besides giving every body and his ancle an
hundred acre lot, a certificate of life insurance, and
a pocket full of as good rocks as ever stubbed' any
man's toe. " What more," in .the impressive lan
guage of the News, " can any man require of a med
icine which is to be had gratis?" It was formerly
called " distribution" but is now called, from its
remarkable virtues, the " Register's Beady Relief."
The only difficulty about it is the getting hold of it.
It is as scarce as hen's teeth or the " ottar of roses."
Yet, unlike other medicines, the very promise of it
to a patient is Kaid to cure ; and sometimes the mere
shadow of a promise has been known to draw the
most virulent corns, exterminate splinters in the
flesh, and create an appetite under the ribs of death.
Get it first, and then try it ; and if you cannot get
it, take s promise, on which so many thousands
have been living these many years past Persons in
want of the article, with a " Democratic" doctor to
administer it, will please apply at the Register of
fice. Its virtues are thus set forth by the News :
" R. R. R. The Great Old Ligut Revived.
Being thcRaleigh Register's Remedy for all evils,
past, present and future, on the robbing Peter to
pay Paul system.
An old politician, whose sands of political exis
tence are nearly run out, has lately discovered an
almost forgotten specific, for the cure of all diseases
anectmg the body politic. Actuated by the most
disinterested and benevolent motives, he anxiously
desires public attention to this invaluable remedy.
He does not lay claim to being the original inventor,
but only to a new and improved mode of adminis
tering the specific. It was formerly used as a de
mocratic blister, and signally failed. It is now of
fered as an emollient on the " soft soap" system,
and success guarantied ; if used according to the
printed directions. The proprietor has no hesita
tion in saying-, it would pay oif England's national
debt, if taken in sufficient doses, and he has auto
graph letters from distingu shed members of the
British Cabinet, ordering a large quantity for the
suppression of the Sepoy mutiny. The fall of Del
hi proves the efficacy of the R. R. R. While dis
claiming all bombastic pretensions, justice requires
that the truth should be told. The R. R. Remedy
if properly applied will tunnel mountains, build
railroads, pay every man's taxes, give every body
i an hundred acre lot, and teach the babies their A.
B. C. AVhat more can any man require of a medi
cine which is to be had gratis? Tus old politician
refers the incredulous to the following genuine cer
tificates :

cian's R. R. R." with the most miraculous success
One bottle made me a State Senator, and with a sec

railroad and gammoned lh, West. I tronglv. re com
mend every know nothing candidate, to keep a dose
or two of this precious remedy always at hand.
Alfred D .
Having much experience in administering public
doses ad nauseam, 1 am of opinion that the R R.

rior to the " Pupe"s pills" or the " Foreigners tine
tare." I can conscientously recommend it as a kill
or cure medicine. John A. G ,
5ih district.
A Chance for $3000 a year and furnished residence.
The Proprietor of the R. R. R. is anxious to
meet with a gubernatorial agent for the " distribu
tion" of the R. R. Remedy. He must be of demo
cratic proclivities, but of lax principles, not easily
scared or made to blush, and superior to the vulgar
prejudices of honest conviction or political consisten
cy. To a suitable person who will make himself
generally useful, the above chance is offered. He
will have a pleasant summer perambulation through
out the State with the thermometer at 95 degrees,
have some tall talking to do, and an oppurtunity to
spend from $25 to $50 per week, or more if he has it.
In addition to the above excellent offer, the proprie
tor will guarantee the agent Irish piper's pay, more
"kicks than coppers." Any democrat willing to cm
brace the opportunity will address (in his own hand
writing,) R. R. Remedy, Register office Raleigh, on
or before the first of April next

Bishop Pierce. It is announced that Bishop
Pierce will preach at Weldon on Sabbath next.
Large numbers of persons will no doubt enjoy the
pi; asure of listening to one of the most eloquent
arid powerful gospel ministers in the Union. It is
Sfid that the late Judge Toomer, who heard him. in
Pittsboro' some years ago, was almost ready to con
elude that he had never heard any preaching before.
We simply give it as an incident, not intending by.
it to add to Bishop P's great reputation as a preach
er: for our private opinion is, that lawyers as a class.
are very poor judges of good gospel preaching. N.
C. Christian Ad cocate.
We trust our neighbor of the Advocate does not
mean to be understood as intimating " that lawyers
as a class " are not good "practitioners " of good
gospel preaching.
George D. Prentice in Richmond. Mr. Prentice,
the celebrated Editor of the Louisville Journal, has
been lecturing in Richmond. The South says: "Al
though dissenting entirely from many of the doc
trines and opinions of the distinguished speaker, we
were nevertheless highly entertained by his brilliant
discourse. With none of the graces of oratory
awkward in gesture and with an exceedingly un
musical voice, he yet managed to hold the ear of his
audience in breathless attention, and to call forth
frequent and spontaneous bursts of applause." - i
The several volunteer companies of Peters

Christmas day." This may be so, but we have not
'heard of it The Petcrsburgians, we are Sure, would

Kansas and her Constitution.
J Unquestionably the only subject in Kansas af
fairs in which the people of the whole - country are
.concerned, is that of slavery. We take it for grant
ed that the new Constitution 8 republican, and that
"it is, in. all respects, the question of slavery except
ed, such a Constitution as the people of the Territo
ry desire, . The late Convention, legally and proper
ly elected and assembled, adopttd a - Constitution,
and directed that, it should be submitted to the peo
ple at the polls on the 21st day of next month ; and
assuming that the Constitution so adopted would
meet the approval of all parties, provision was made
for taking the sense of the people on one question
only, that of slavery those in favor of slavery to
vote " Constitution and slavery" and those opposed
to slavery to vote " Constitution and no slavery."
. The Constitution will, therefore, certainly be ap
proved by the people, whether the slavery clause
should be accepted or rejected. State officers will
be elected on the first Monday in January, and the
Legislature of the State will assemble within thirty
one days from the time of the publication of the fact
, of the State's admission into the Union.
But if the slavery clause should be rejected by
the people, it is provided in the Constitution that
slavery shall no longer exist in the State of Kan
sas, except that the right of property in slites now
in this Territory shall in no manner he interfered
with." Slavery already exists in Kansas, and &
thus recognized and guaranteed ; and unless a Con
vention should be called and the institution abolish
ed, it will continue to exist, and may become perpet
ual. This is all plain. What, then, becomes of the
charge preferred by the Know Nothing presses of
the South, that Mr. Buchanan and the national De
mocracy were engaged in the work of excluding
slavery and making Kansas a free State ?
- The friends of Southern rights in Kansas have in
deed fought a noble fight.' With not more than two
hundred slaves, and inferior in numbers to the "free
State men," they have achieved much, though they
may not achieve all they hoped for, by their cour
age, their firmness, and indomitable resolution.
Slavery exists in Kansas, and is not abolished by
the . new Constitution. This much has certainly
been gained, whatever may be the result of the vote
of the people on the 21st of next month, and what
ever may be done by a future Convention.
In our last issue we expressed the opinion that
" the excitement is not yet over. It will commence,
and will probably run higher than ever, as soon as
Congress meets and the question is taken up. We
fear this will be the case, though we hope for the
best." The Washington Union stands firmly and
in good faith by the recent action of the Kansas
Convention, and the Charleston Mercury expresses
tbe hope that Kansas is not yet lost to the South ;
but the Philadelphia Press and other Northern De
morratic journals exhibit much dissatisfaction with
the action of the Constitutional Convenlion. The
Press complains that the entire Constitution was not
submitted to the people pronounces the submission
of the slavery clause only a mere trick" an " un
worthy expedient," and calls upon Congress to re
ject the Constitution. Dots Mr. Forney expect the
national Democracy to go with h im in this move
ment ?
Congress will assemble on Monday the 7th of next
month. By the 10th of January Kan-as will apply
for admission into the Union, and then the excite
ment will begin fully to manifest itself in Congress
and throughout the country The just and proper
course would be to admit the new State at once,
without looking to see whether she had established
or interdicted slavery. This is the meaning and object
of the Kansas-Nebraska act; but we cannot hope to
see it carried into effect without still further and
higher excitement. The question remains to be de
cided whether the Northern people will consent, un
der any circumstances, to admit a State whose Con
stitution does not positively prohibit slavery. We
have a strong and abiding confidence in the North
ern national Democracy ; but the Northern people
have a decided majority in the House of Representa
tives, and the defection of a few only of the Northern
Democratic members would result in the rejection
of the new State.
Biuc.riAM Youno and Utah One of the Wash
ington correspondents of the Richmond South aysz
" A fearful responsibility rests upon the Adminis
tration of Mr. Fillmore for the appointment of Brig
ham Young to the offices of Governor and Superin
tendent of Indian Affairs in Utah Territory, as it is
now evident that it h ta been chiefly under color of
the latter office he has been able to bostilize the In
dian tribes, to incite them to murder and rapine, and
to effect an alliance with them in his treasonable
war upon the authorities and military forces of the
government This infamous alliance is the most ter
rible feature of the Mormon hostilities. It seems
impossible to devise, now, any plan of operations to
disconcert it or to avert its consequences. Not only
may it bring into the field, as it is supposed, twenty
thousand blood-thirsty savages, but it will afford to
the Prophet and his followers, these American Be
douins, a refuge in the mountains, where they can
retreat further and further if necessary, carrying on
a desultory and harrassing war ; or, with the assis
tance of the savages, may cut off all supplies and -starve
out their invaders, in the event of the govern-
' ment troops being ever so fortunate as to occupy the
: valley of Salt Lake."
Tbe troth is, Brigham Young ought never to have
been appointed Governor of Utah ; and the proper
course would have been to have removed him at
1 once. He has been threatening the government of
the, United States for years. His treason has at last
revealed itself, and now he must be put down by
the strong hand at a heavy expense of blood and
treasure.

Odd Fellowship in North-Cakoltna. The
Grand Lodge of North-Carolina recently held its
annual meeting in Wilmington. The Herald says;
" We learn from the report of the Grand Master,
that during the past year there have been 153 initi
ations, 18 rejections, 21 admitted by card, 56 with
drawals by card, 6 reinstated, 96 suspended, 63 ex
pelled, 19 deaths, 1,825 contributing members, and
297 past grands.
There has been received for initiations $845 50,
for degrees $1,564 50, charged for dues $4,614 60,
received dues $3,667 01, from fines, &c, $357 05,
widow and orphan's fund $1,387 54 making in all
thftom total of $12,436 20.
the lodga has to its credit $1,109 26, and a note
and interest $121 20 making a total of $1,230 46;
besides $127 31 belonging to the widow and orphan's
fund.
We are' sorry to learn from the following para
graph from the report that the lodge is not in as
flourishing a condition as we would wish to see it :
i roin the facts as disclosed by your oiticers, tt
would seem we have not a great deal of cause for
congratulation in regard to the material prosperity
or the order. Indeed it would seem, from compari
son, that there has been a successive depression for
several years. Indeed the Grand Master feels some
apprehension, he must confess, upon the subject of
the fund tor the support of the Grand Lodge.
Whether the addition of further taxation, or the ab
olition of annual sess ons, and the substitution in
lieu thereof, of bienniel, are the means of placing
this fund upon a permanent basis, U not for hitu to
say, but are suggestions thrown out for your consid
eration. Of this;, however, he feels assured that this
fund should be perminent ; it should not be liable
to the fluctuations to which it hat been heretofore
subject, and which now threaten it It should, too,
be sumYien:ly large to render it unnecessary at any
time for our Grand Officers to run their names to
obtain means, with which to pay off the expenses
of this body. It is the duty of wise legislation to
avert, and not to await patiently the arrival of threat
ened injury and disaster. It may be, that we may
find in the present financial embarrassments of our
ent're country, a proper explanation of our dimin
ished prosperity, for so intimate are all the links in
the great chain of human advancement that no one
great interest can be interfered with, without a cor
respending sensation being felt throughout the en
tire chain."

We have suggested February as the suitable time
fr holding the Convenlion to nominate a candidate
for Goveri.ur. The Western Democrat prefers May,
and the N. C. Standard recommends April. The
time, however, is of little importance, provided care
be taken to have every ptrt of the State repreented.
We, therefore, urge our friend- throughout the
west, to see that every county appoint such dele
gates as will sutler no engagements to prevent them
from attending the meeting of the convention. A
full representation, from every part of the State,
will scarcely fail to nominate a candidate to whose
support to the whole party will harmoniously and
enthusiastically rally. Salisbury Banner.

Last year he had the finest heifer at the Fair, and re
ceived a premium then, as he did for the hog this

Oxford, N. O, Nov. 25, 1857.
MARRIED,
In Charlotte, on Tuesday evening the 24th of Xov., by
the Rev. Alex. Sinclair. Win. J. Yates. Esq., (editor of the
Western iMuujcmt) to Miss Sal lie A., daughter of the late
Alex. Springs, Kq.
DIED.
In Winston, Forsyth, on Friday, tbe 13th int Mrs. Abi
gail M. Burrow, wife of Wat. Harrow, Esq., of this town, in
tbe 37th year of her uge.
It is with enations of deep and unaffected sorrow that
the writer of these lines attempts a feeble tribute to tbe
virtues and memory of the deceased. And yet thee? a
calmness with that sorrow, which flows from the sweet and
pntteful assurance ihut a life of eem,)lury piety, rectitude
and usefulness, has terminated in the ploricus triumph of
Christian faith, tnd the acquisition of that eternal reward
" which is laid up in Heaven
Without the immediate circle of her own family, where
she was the light and life, the deceased was endeared to
numerous friends and acquaintances, with whom to know,
was but to love her. Her departure, while it is deeply af
flicting: to the bereaved husband and tender orphans from
whiwe midst she has been called, casts a gloom over many
hearts in tbe community, where the memory of her virtues
and her affections will outlive tbe grief which time may
assuage or take away.
Mrs. B. was a faithful and consistent member of the
Methodist E. Church, with which she became connected at
tbe early age of sixteen years, and which exalted profes
sion she exemplified in her dailv walk and conversation.
For several years past she bad been rendered an invalid,
and while prostrated from the attacks of a painful and ma
lignant disease, often prayed to be delivered by death from
her siiflerings. Yet these she bore with tbe utmost calm
ness and Christian resignation , and though entertaining
only the slightest hope of recovery, was resigned to tbe
will of her Heavenly Father, whether spared to the bosom
of her family and friends, or called to enter a better and
higher sphere.
All that medical skill, together with the assidkraa and de
voted attentious of a kind and loving husband could da,
failed to restore her to health ; and gradually declining,
she at length fell gently asleep, and her spirit soared to tbe
ret which remains fur tbe children of God.
There was something about ifie close of her earthly ca
reer that can never be forgotten by those who attended her.
With the calmness and Composure of one preparing to leave
home but for a season, she "made knowu her wishes to her
husband, gave directions concerning her burial, and made
every request sue desired ol her bereaved children aud
friends; and when the hour o dissolution had come, no
fear or terror moved her breast, but with a placid smile
upon her countenance, like one awaiting to depart, she met
the last enemy, and bade adieu to earth. The stroke of
death rarely fulls upon a better or a nobler heart.
The editors of this paper, whose fortuue it was to reside
in ber family for a length of lime, mourn the departure of
one whom they hare ever regarJed as among the best and
deaiest uf earthly trieuds one who was to them like a
mother. Vfhutever destiny they may meet, amid the trial
and victssitu-ies f life, the memory of her kiudness will be
treasured, tadeless, within their hearts.
But it is not for us to grieve as though there were no
hope. Full well we know that death, though stern and in
exorable, came gently and as a messenger of rehef to her.
1 h .ugh her pilgrimage on earth is ended, and she is taken
from those she loved, the cheering consolation is left that
she has attained the possession of unfading joys, and is at
res i loreer, in
" The home of the weary, where in peace reposing,
Her spirit lingers in unbounded bliss:
Though o'er its dust the uncurtained grave is closing,
Who would not early choose a lot like this !"

next December, when 1 shall leouujtuewcy Mbtiatrwg tba
above named papers. They have been published ae kng'
that most public men know their character, and theretor
I deem it needless to give a minute account of the kind of
matter tbev will contain. '"
Thb DaiLT 6ut will contain a report of tbe DabaUSi
in both branches of Congress, as taken down by reporters,
equal, at least, to any corps of short band writers ia thisoe
in any other country. -A majority of them will, each. be.
able to report, verlatim, ten thousand words an boar, while1
tbe average number of woHs spoken- bv flaeoC apuM)
' rsrelv exceeds seven thousand five hundred words aa hoor.1
When the debates of a day do not make more than forty,
columns, they shall appear in tbe Daily Globe tbe next
morning, which will contain, also, the news of tbe day, to
get ber with such editorial articles aa may be suggested Ay"
passing events. - . t
It is also n-.j intention, from time. to time, M. occasion,
mav require, to pnblish my reminiscences of tbe public mea
with whom I have been associated during tbe last twentv
eight years. Anecdotes of General Jackson, ao4 tbe lead-'
era of' tbe party which he conducted, and the leading men:
of other parties, will, I believe, be interesting now when,
partisan bitterness has abated. - L,
In becoming tbe reporter of tbe debates of Coogreea I
deemed it proper to say that the Globe would never be a'
partisan paper. This pledge will But be forfeited br rauec
dueingasa contribution to history the political trait t
character which distinguished the public men of my timet,
Although I am, and intend to re-aaain, a thorough Demo
crat, I will never obtrude my principles in a way to make
them objoxM.us to any party. But, in regard to peraeeS.
and events which go to make up history. I hope to make
the Globe an honest memoir; and with that view I am re
sol red to speak independently of all parties. O
Ten CoxGKBSsioiaL Gubk axd ArpBXDix will contain'
a report of all the debates in Congyesa, revised by tba-
. . -1 - . .1 1 . J : .
speakers, tbe Messages or tbe tresiaent or tbe LaiteO
btates. the Annual Reports of tbe Heads of -tbe Executive'
Departments, tbe Lws passed daring tbe session, and eo
pioaa indexes to all. - They will be printed oaa doable'
royal sheet, in book form, royal quarto aiae, each number
containing nixteen pages. The whole will make, it ia be-,
lieved, between 3,800 and 3,5K pages, as tbe long sessions
for many ears have ranged between those nnmbera, and
the next session will be what is termed a " long one. This
I believe is the cheapest work ever sold in any eouatry,
whether a reprint or printed from manuscript copy, taking
for data the average number of words of tbe long sessions,
since tbe year I $43. The average number of pages is 8,876,
and the average number of words on a page is x,37, conse
quently the average number of words of a lona; eessioa ia"
V,2vi,772. As I have sold to subscribers that number of.
words fr sir dollars, it follows that they hive paid Ujs tloav
six and one-half cent for every 100,000 word I has fs
nMed them, while 1 have paid my reporters fS 89 for every'
2,397 words, of this work ia minmeript. lias aay other
bookseller, any where, ever sold a book in the first instance,'
while it was new, at low a rate? I believe not ; and
strong is my belief, that I hereby agree to give to aov per-i
son who shall prove the contrary a complete set of the de-'
bates running back to the year 1833, making-forty-three
quarto volumes, which -sell "for tS a volume. An act of
Congress authorizes these papers to go by mail free of poatt
age. The next session will he, without doubt, an nnnso.
ally interesting one. as it will be the first under a new Ad I
ministration, and several complex questions must be dts-
cussed in it ; for example, the currency, Kansas, revenue,
a&d other questions. The Globe will be, as heretofore, the;
only source front which full debates can bp obtained. --. '
