The Atlantic  T-.lcgri.pl_..
The Directors of the Atlantic Telegraph Company have published a card, in which tliey say :—
That a serious fault exists in the cable at some
point between 200 and 300 miles from Valentia,
can.tot bo doubted; but as Mr. Whitebou.e had
established no means of concerted action betweeu
the Valentia and Newfoundland stations in case of
difiieuUy, it is not altogether possible to ay wheth-
tire embarrassment ariado imm the funk
referred to.
They bave, therefore, . ent out with full instructions one ol the staff, and they are encouraged to
hope that some communication may possibly yet
be established through the cable ior a time, even
in its present state, and that as soon as tho weathet
and other circumstances are such as to encouragt
the making an attempt with some chance of success to raise and repair the injured part, it is not
beyond probability that the existing cabl
be rendered permanently useful.
Tbis legitimate result has been postponed by
adverse circumstances ; but the Directors, in spite
of this piece of evil fortune, cannot remember otherwise than with an honorable feeling of pride and
satisfaction, th(U the primary and ruling motive
which actuated them and their brother shareholders in entering upon the first epoch of this great
work, waa not altogether of a sordid or mercenary
character, and that one at least of the great objects of the subscribers has been fully successful.
The Loudoa correspondent of ihe New York
Herald, writing Sept. 24th, Bays:
The results ofthe experiments wbich have been
no doubt very ably conducted at Valentia, within
the last few days, if they are not of a conclusive
nature, must at least be suggestive of very grave
considerations to tbe minds of men of science
Whether the press of tbe United States has, ae the
Times alleges, neglected the claims of Mr. now
Sir Charles Bright, or whether that powerful organ of opinion has not itself condescended to mire
than one littleness iu reference to the share which
America and her chosen sons have had in direct
connexion with the great exploit, of which the 5th
of August saw the consummation, it is now scarcely worth while to inquire. The opp3,rtunity is
now afforded to all the distinguished men of science lately engaged, instead of coutestin
Krom  T.o.vcr  L-iUlforiila.

or of the Territory, waa forced to resign ; he became obnoxious to the dear people, from the fact
he laid a tax or contribution on them. The people wisely declared in favor or the constitution;
got rid of contribution aud Governor at the same
time. The present general is SeSor Don Tran-

republic.
Senor Villasano leaves here tomorrow for Guay
mas, it is supposed on a private mission, and it is
supposed that tho ports of Souora and Lower California will be thrown open for the admi.siou ol

The Bilver mines in the country are being worked more systematically than heretofore, and two
large clippers are daily expected to take in cargoes
oro, hides, Brazil wood and silver for Europe. The
great difficulty in working mines of silver is lhe
want of capital ; the mines requiring a large capital to work them tu advantage. A Bluice has
been started in Ihe wet diggings for gold. Se far
we have not heard the result.
The rains have been later than usual, but much
more abundant, and the much dreaded temporal

Pasture ie good, sugar crop excellent, and corn

180 men, the companies not being fail. Col. Nau-
man is in command of this post, and tho appearance
of things in general gave evidence of great cleanliness and efficiency. The thermomct<*r at the Fort,
at mid-day on 29th Oetober, waa 80 deg Fahrenheit ; and this morning, at 7 o'clock, it had fallen
to 60. The cold this morning was sensibly felt by
us all, and my sensations were similar to those experienced on the river bottoms of the JIissij_sippi at
this season ofthe year.
Fort Yuma is placed on the north Fide of tbe Colorado, at the junction of this stream with the Gila.
It is located on a hill or bluff, some sixty feet above
the river, the bill being denuded by the high waters
that take place in the months of June and July. The
site chosen is very commanding and conspicuous.
The course of the Colorado river at tbis point is
east and west. The color of the water is of a dark
brownish red, with a swift current and smooth sur
face. There are many whirlpools in tha centre of
the stream, and it is considered difficult lo swim out
of the eddies when once fairly within their whirl.
The banks, or rather the bottom land of the strean
h. merely a deposit of light debris, of the finest dus
or sand washed up when the river is high, and left
as sediment when it falls. Tho most prominent
mountain peaks in view are Pilot Knob and Chimney
Peak—both very beautifully pointed towards the
sky. Standing out in bold relief against the horizon, they present a pietur._a.iiie aspect with
ing outlines.
The river abounds in a species of fish known ns
the buffalo fish. They havo large fiat heads with
round and long bodies. I caught several over a
foot in length, and they proved fine caling. Quail
is abundant along the river bankB ; and scorpions,

further   be  numberless during the summer season.    There

Indian war in the Navajo country.
Captain McLean, of the Iti fit's, was returning
from Sanla Fe lo Fott Delianoe with seventeen
mounted rJllemen ami a few friendly Indians end
Mexieons under Captain ltlaa LaBsero, when*, witb-
jn two days march ol Foit Defiance, he discovered
a large body of Indians attempting to surround

war-whoop Iheir intention of attacking hie foroff-
He led the attack, and at a distance of t-Tree ta
four bundled yards tired, billed several ludian**
and dispersed the rest. A party of them, who
gained McLenn's flank, opened a sharp fire of arrows and ballets.
McLean wai badly wounded, supposed at fin!
mortally. Hit men continued thu fight, and took
a large amount of property, horses, elc. It ia sajv
posed ihis is tho bund of Indians which protweied
the murderer of Major Brooks' servant.
Col. Milt'.:, commanding at Fort Demnnce, reports that thle precipitates another serious Indian
war, nnd lhat he will bike the field without delay
with all his force, consisting of about three hundred mounted riflemen and iiifautry. It jM ir.id
these Indians unmbur about two Ihousnnd warriors.
They are defiant, for when McLean-a party drew
their arms ihey laughed in their peculiar [ftuhioe.
It is believed we are on the eve of a general Indian war. The Department, in view of these circumstances and Ihe necessity of giving security
to the overl-ind routes, will uct with determined
vigor.

The New York l)ai,y A>ws,  of October   10th
says : The much talked-of sale of the Col litis steamers is,at last consummated. The California and
New York SleamBhip Company has, we learn,purchased the Baltic and the Atlantic, of the Collin*"5
line, and the Hermann, of tbe Bremen line, to run
on the Pacific side, in connection wilh the Company's boats on the Atlantic. The sale of steamers was concluded yesterday. The price paid was
$400,000 each, $200,000 being pa.d down in cash,
and ihe balance secured by lien on the ships. The
same company has also purchased two steamships
I'or this side, which will make lhe connection com

Nicaragua, opening again the old route, so long
jealed up by Yande;bilt. This purchase gices to
the line the best, boals in lhe world.
