WEDNESDAY, JX7M 1869. THE iUiNTIC CABLE. OB Board the Great Scientific Teat i. The London ftZegropV of May 23 has the following interesting account of the preparations on board the Great Eastern for hying the ocean telegraph cable DIFFERENCES BETWEEN 1S58 AKO 1605. A visit wras paid to the Great Eastern a few days since by a large party of the Director's friends, and it maybe said that all who understood the preparations which they saw came away with a greatly strengthened confidence in the future of the new cable.

Since 1858, when the first Atlantic line was laid, the advance that has been made liy the scientific werld toward comprehending electrical phenomena is very great. It has been said, by a man well qualified tj speak oriithe subject, that electric science has passed, since that time, from its childhood to its. 1 maturity. So far as the phenomena connected with long electric circuits -were concerned; we hud in 1S5S BO 'knowledge whatever. The instruments in commonuso were unstated to receiving signals great length of cable the necessity of providing'for the conductor an insulation so perfect as to approach an absolute condition was inadequately appreciated.

The best preliminary test for a long cable had not been devised, and the old Atlantic telegraph was laid without having been subjected to any searching test on shore. Everybody had advice to give concerning the management of the wire, but no one recommended the precautions which subsequent experience has. shown to be necessary. When the signals began to fail, and the battery power was augmented, and magnetic induction coils, which rapidly helped on the destruction of the. eoductor, were put in circuit, no rme thought of "nursing" the of humoring its fescle attempts at articulate utterance and of finding out what is said rather by listening acutely than by constantly callino- on it, in the language of Victoria gallery 5 to "Speak up." The old cable, however, is dead and gone part of it has been picked up and applied to ignoble uses, as a race horse past his work may be put into the shafts of a hansom part of it has been abandoned, and lies where it may rest until the end of time, in the dark unfathomed caves" of the deep sea.

Let us turn to the practical present. SCENES OX BOARD THE GREAT EASTERN. The Great Eastern looks just now more like an engineer's workshop than a sea-going ship. The vast expanse of her deck is covered with wooden sheds and piles of timber. There are smith's forges below, and between decks you might fancy yourself in a machinists factory.

The great engines of the ship, it is true, have lost the bright look of machinery which is in constant use; and the huge dull masses of iron seem asleep or in a trance. If you descend the ladders which lead to the boilers and an expedition which is more like going down a mine than any other. to which it can be compared you find yourself in the midst of darkness, solitude and cold but in those regions of the vessel where the cable is being shipped and watched, there is every sign of keen, vigilant intelligence. When you understand what is being done, you see something more than that scientific forsight of the highest order directs every step and that the thick, tarry rope, coarse and rough to appearance, which he coiled away under water in the tanks of the ship, is manufactured, scanned and tested with as much caro as the nicest optical instrument in an astronomer's observatory, or the most delicate apparatus of fragile glass ever applied to the careful experiments of chemistry. THE SCIENTIFIC TESTS.

Itsoeins impossible there can- be any fault in the Atlantic cable when the Great Eastern goes to sea. To say nothing of the tests applied to it at the manufactory it is tested not alone after it has been taken on board, but during its delivery into the ship. As soon as a length is brought alongside, one end is connected with the coils already on board, and the other end with tiie instruments in the testing room lue circuit is tbus made through the whole extent of the coil, the portion on board and the portion alongside. The process of hauling in then commences, and the insulation is continuously observed ihe instruments in the testing room record the smallest deviation from absolutely perfect insulation. It will be understood that an insulation which shall be quite perfect, as an electrician understands the word, is not atainable.

A peace of metal seperated by means of the purest glass, and inclosed in the driest atmosphere that can be obtained, will, if cbar-- ed with electricity, lose that electricity alter a time. In speaking of insulation we murt therefore bo understood to mean an approximate condition but the approximation in the case of the new Atlantic cable comes so near perfection, that this rough tarry rope is a scientific wonder. The last dying pulsation of the old Atlantic cable was forced through it by means of a galvanic battory consisting of two hundred and forty cells. The submarine telegraph from London to Amsterdam is habitually worked with a battery of forty cells, and such a battery is commonly used for the other submarine lines of turope. Signals have been repeatedly sent through more than thirteen hundred miles of the cable now on board the Great Eastern, by means of one cell.

Galvanic currents so feeble that they could not have been felt by the hand, and might have been passed harmlessly through a circuit completed by the operator's tongue, can be uied to convey messages along a length of cable that would very nearly strech from London to St. Petersburg. Over needle instruments, such as those in ordinary use for land telegraphy, a current from one cell would be powerless. To record such faint pulsations of elec- wicity, it ig necessary to use Professor inompson mirror galvanometer. This beautiful instrument consists of a mirror about the size of a four-penny piece, made of microscopic glass, and so thin that it weighs only a grain.

On the back of this mirror a minute magnet is fixed, and eighteen or twenty inches, and reveals its faintest movements. Different combina tions of these movements represent the different letters of the alphabet, and thus the apparently erratic wanderings of a ray of light are made to convey intelligence. An instrument of this kind is constantly used to test the cable, as it is hauled on board and if any fault had existed, it could not have passed without detection. Up to this time when there are on board the ship and alongside 1 970 miles of cable, no fault has been discovered. THE IMMERSION-.

The machinery for paying out is not yet on board, but is being put together at the Greenwich works. 1'he process of im- mersion will take about a fortnight. The beginning of the shore end will be laid by a small vessel, which: meet 'the Great Eastern about tirtritf 1 mites from the Irish coast. The cable Will then be assed on beard, connected with that I the great tanks, and the big ehip OUR DEAD AT AXDERSOXVILIE. of Wiiconiln Burled in begin her voyage.

To the uninitiated this process of cutting and joining the cable appears very mysterious, but the engineers who are used to the work, face it -without any hesitation. joints do not really "either the insulation or the strengtB-of the as wherever they are made; the external and conducting wires are spliced along a considerable not less than' thirty the gutta percha carefully put separate layers, firmly pressed together by means -of warm irons. The completeness of the joint is tested by laying it in an insulated metallic vessel, containing water, and ascertained by means of tests applied to this vessel, whether any electricity escapes from the joint aa a current is passed along the cable. The Receipts and Taies of Public Amusements. When the future historian of the Republic takes up the burden of great Conflict, it will interest him and his readers to turn for a while from the glare of flaming cannon and bristling musketry, to examine the social conditions of civil life in a country in which such scenes of rigorous warfare were enacted; and it will promote accuracy in the estimate of our national character, to study, the habits and demeanor of society through.

its baptism of fire and blood. To this end we have collected the items of expenditure of the people of New York for public amusements during the present season, as eminently calculated to illustrate the habita and temper of our people. From the 1st day of July to the 30th day of April last, the seven principle theaters and the Academy of Music in this city, received for dramatic performances $1,053,000, and paid tax on the same to 4he amount of $21,050. The largest sum paid by any theater for tax during the period above named was that paid by Niblo's Garden, amounting to $4,778.92. The smallest sum paid by any theater between the foregoing dates was that paid by the Old Bowery Theater, amounting to S1.C81.C4.

The second largest tax was that paid by the Academy of Music, amounting to $3,320. -The second smallest tax was paid by the New Bowery Theater, and amounted to $1,817,50. The third largest tax was paid by Wallack's Theater, and amounted to the sum of $2,788.44. The third smallest tax WM paid by the Broadway Theater, amounting to l.oG, The French Theater from October to February, paid a tax of $107.48. The three Negro Minstrelsy Exhibitions paid tax to the amount of $2,440.24.

Bryant's paid the largest tax, amounting from Sept. 3, to April 30, to $993. Wood's establishment paid the next largest, amounting to over $728,16. Campbell Ilooly's Troupe paid tax to the amount gf $719,08. From October 1 to March 31, the Hippo- theatron, in Fourteenth paid tax amounting to $1,540,74 on their equestrian and other performances.

The American Theater, No. 444 Broadway, paid a tax of $774,30 on their receipts from July to April. The German Theater paid, from September to April, tax to the amount of $1,052. In addition to the foregoing amounts of tax paid by places of Amusement between July 1st and April 1st, we may mention Barnuu'g Museum, the taxes on the gross receipts of which reach the high figure of $5,178,68. 6 Independent of the sums enumerated above, a large amount of tax is paid annually in this city by the proprietors of miscellaneous exhibitions, making a total of not less than $30,000, annually paid into the Treasury from the single source of public amusements in the metropolis alone.

Meaning of Doing. Have you ever considered carefully what is the meaning of doing a thing? Suppose a rock falls from a hill side, crushes a group of cottages and kills a number of people. The stone has produced a great effect in the world. If any one asks respecting the broken roofs, What did it?" you say the stone did it. Yet you don't talk of the deed of the stone.

If you inquire farther, and find that a goat had been feeding beside the rock, and had loosened it by gnawing the roots of the grasses beneath, you find the goat to be the active cause of the calamity, and you say the goat did it. Yet you don't call the goat the doer, nor talk of its evil deeds. But if you find any one went up to the rock in the night, and with deliberate purpose loosened it, that it might fall on the cottages, you say in quite a different sense, It is his deed; he is the doer of it." It appears, then, that deliberate purpose and resolve are needed to constitute a deed or doing in the true sense of the word; and that when, accidentally or mechanically, events take place without such purpose, we have indeed effects or results, and agents or causes, but neither deeds nor doers. Now, it so happens, as wo well know, that by far the largest part of things happening in practical life are brought about with no deliberate purpose. There are always a number of people who have the nature of stones; they fall on other persons and crush them.

Some, again, have the nature of weeds, and twist about other people's feet and entangle them. More have the nature of logs, and lie in the way, so that every one falls over them. And most of all have the nature of thorns, and set themselves by the waysides, so that every passer-by must be torn, and all good seed choked. All these people produce immense and sorrowful effect in the world. Yet none of them are doers; it is their nature to crush, impede, and prick, but deed is not in them.

We may, perhaps, expediently recollect as much of bur botany as to teach us that there may be sharp and rough persons, like spines, who yet have, good in them, and are essentially branches, and can bud. But the true thorny person is no spine, only an excresence; rootless evermore. No crown made ef such can meet glory of angel's Jltukin. THE Viroqua Times has the following oil items: A. C.

D. M. 1 SIR have the honor to enclose herewith an alphabetical list of the Wisconsin soldiers who died at Andersonville prison. The list was compiled by myself in leisure moments, from the original Prison Record and Hospital Register kept by the rebels and now in the hands of Gen.

Wilson to be forwarded to Washington. The paper is taken 1 from one of the books of the old Prison Record. The list is probably incorrect in some parts, but it is as correct as can be made from the books. The Hospital which contains the numbers of the 1 graves, is missing from 22d 1864 to Sept. 10th, 1864.

Many names al' so, which I find in the Prison Register as having died, have no place in the Hospital liegister, consequently tho number of graves cannot be found; and too, I find several names in the' Hospital Register which have no place in the standard, the Prison Register. With these difficulties, and the additional one of having to pick the names from over 12,000, that mistakes should be made is natural. I merely send it to you as it is, thinking that there may be no better opportunity, and that Wisconsin should have a record of her sons who have starved to death in that abominable hole prepared for their reception by the chivalry of the Prison Pen at Andersonville. The prison was established in February or March, 18C4, but doca not seem to have received any prisoners until April. There were aboat 5,000 in prison up to the middle of April, 18G5, when they were removed to Florida upon Gen.

Wilson's approach. They have-since been exchanged. The largest number ever together at one time in prison was on August 9th, 33,000 August can boast too of having had the most deaths of any one month 2,992. Most on any one day, August 2o Tho Hospital Register shows 12,818 souls to have been buried in all; through the graves number 12,940. Our soldiers were buried like carrion; a long ditch 3 feet by Gi wide was made, in which the chivalrous southrons placed them without a sign of a coffin, on their sides, so that each soldier occupied just about one foot of the length of the ditch.

Thus they were packed and dirt shoveled over and on to their bodies. There stand the 12,940 graves an everlasting monument of damning infamy to all who were concerned in the starvation and killing of our soldiers. Wisconsin has suffered very little com pared with her sister States, her loss beinn but 224. If you consider this contribution as worthy to be kept, I shall have been amplj rewarded my pains, and only too glad to have done anything for the benefit ol my native State. I have the honor to be, (Signed) HENRY F.

The men in the store began exclaiming and commenting upon it. "What a loss!" sayi one, Why the deacon will well nigh break down under it," says another.

And so they went on speculating, one after another, and the conversation drifted on ia all sorts of conjectures. At last a quiet man, who sat spitting in the fire, ooked up and asked: "Did he hit the 3wlf" That man was for getting at the point of the thing. Let all public speak--1, in the pulpit and elsewhere, heed the iral. Did you aim at something and did you hit what you aimed at? No matter about the splurge and smoke and Did you hit that owl How JEFF. DAVIS AMUSES etter in the Rochester Democrat from Fortress Monroe says of Jeff.

Davis: Ho now walks his cell almost constant- and amusea himself as he approaches either wall by trying to put his finger on the careless flies that dot the whitewashed surface, but they invariably, like the sought to grasp, elude him.

marl8dtfe797. i Janesville, March 27th 1805. i CITY NOTICES. THE CULTIVATOR or large amount of corn to be planted this season, renders it necessary for the producer to have some improved implement for its cultivation. To meet this demand, I am now building The Jiadyer Stale gig corn planter.

After six months experimenting with different models, we have one which we are willing should be put to the test, and that it should stand or fall on its own mer its. A lengthy description does not seem to be necessary. We will simply say that we are confident it will perform all that any cultivator will, and all that any farmer will require of it. It has six shovels, or four, as desired. The shovels are so arranged as to cultivate wide or narrow shallow or deep; and they all have a very easy side motion.

To say that they are made under the supervision of G. F. Lane, is a sufficient guarantee that they will be well made. In fact, they will be warranted in every respect. The Badger State gig cultivator will be sold this season at $50 at the shop.

Call and see it at the shop one block south of the Hyatt House. R. J. RICHARDSON, Manufacturer. Janesville, May 5th, 1865.

They have token the highest premiums al the recent State Fairs of fifteen States; they have, moreover, received the warmest encomiums from all persons who have ever used ihe machines, and those who have had opportunities to compare the different styles of machines, generally prefer Grover Baker's to any other. They do the work neatly and well, do not get out of order, and are readily adapted to any kind of sewing. We would advise our lady readers, who are in want of a sew ing-machine, to call at Grover and Baker's Standard.
