FROM A FRUSTA MD MACOS. By the arrival of the steamer Savannah from Augusta, this morning, we have full files of Augusta and Macon paper. We extract the following items: Union Club.— The need of some organiza tion in this city that shall embody and reflect the sentiments of those who honestly support the Government and the National 'adminis tration is a matter of the highesUmportance. With a view to facillitate this organization a auituble paper has been prepared and is now ready for signatures. It may be seen at this office by those who favor such an organization A club similar to that now in active opera tion in Savannah will do more to restore rightful authority in this Statu than any other agency that can be instituted.

June Gth, 18(55. > General Orders) No. 11 ; In compliance with orders from Headquar ters Department of the South, the folio win°- regiments, whose term of service expire ber ime the loth September, will prepare to ren dezvous at Savannah, with' a vilwv of bein” musteied out ol service—22d 21th and out?. lowa, 128th and uist New' York (Hikers and men—l congratulate you that the time has at last arrived when you may return to your homes and families and once again resume the peaceful avocations of life \ou have faithfully and bravely fought for your country, and can always bear in vour hearts the proud consciousness of having done your duty. a L who have had the honor of fferhting w*Ui you, can testify to your valor court uct on the field—your obedience to or ders and discipline while on the march and in c amp. In thus bidding you good by, on your ap proaching departure to your distant homes let me express to you my thanks and appre ciation ot your soldierly behavior—-and the hope that you and your families may enjoy the peace you have so gloriously won. * Edward L. Mo line ux, v Brevet Brig. Gen. U. S. V. • The Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel, in speaking of the address, remarks thus: The address of General Molineux to the troops under his command, who have been ordered to Savannah to be mustered out of service, is very beautiful and appropriate. The General congratulates them, in a true soldierly manner, that the time has arrived when they can retire to their peaceful homes, and enjoy the comforts thereof with the con scious feeling that they have nobly and faith fully discharged, the duty they owed to their country. He speaks to them of their valor and bravery, and most nobly gives his testi mony in praise of their meritorious deeds. In' bidding them a farewell, the General takes occasion to testify liis appreciation of their soldierly behavior, and kindly wishes that they ami their families may enjoy the peace they have so gloriously won. It is praise of this kind, when justly due, that makes the discharged soldiers feel proud of the service he has done his country. And when praise conies from such a strict disci plinarian as General Molineux, the soldiers receiving it may consider that they justly de serve it. |From the Augusta Chronicle & Sentinel.] A Deserved Compliment. —A corres pondent of the Savannah Herald, writing from this city, pays Gen. Molineux, the commander of this post, the annexed compliment : “General Molineux still commands the city, und his measures are not complained of by any reasonable people. He has been brevet - ted for gallantry in tlie field, and now is win ning much praise for his ability m civil capa city." The praise given by the Herald’s writer is wall merited and justly deserved. As yet. we have heard no complaint in regard to Gen. Moliueux’s exercise of authority. He has issued no orders except those which are absolutely necessary, and those which the health and welfare of the citizens call for. His conduct towards those under his com mand, has beeff without exception kind nqd courteous, and he resorts to no harsh mea sures unless compelled to in order that his rules and regulations may be obeyed and carried out. Although his stay has been but a short time amobg us. yet he has by his conciliatory policy already made a host of film and warm friends in our midst. The eity ot Augusta was never more quiet and orderly than at present. Law breakers have become good citizens, well knowing if they were otherwise they would lie promptly arrested and punished. But. little, if any, disorderly conduct Is now seen on our streets, and store robberies are of iare occur rence. As long as it i3 deemed necessary to’ keep Augusta and vicinity mffier a military law, we hope we shall have the pleasure of re maining under the just and equitable rule of Gen. Molineux.

The London Telegraph of May 23d has the following interesting account of the prepara tions on board the Great Eastern, for laying the ocean telegraph cable: DIFFERENCES BETWEEN 1858 AND 18G5. A visit was paid to the Great Eastern a few days since by a large party of the directors’ friends, and it may lie said that all who un derstood the preparations which they saw came away with a greatly strengthened con fidence in the future of the new cable. Since 1858, when the first Atlantic line was laid, the advance that has been made by the sci entific world towards comprehending electri cal phenomena is very great. It has been said, by a man well qualified to speak on the subject, that electric science has passed, since that time, from its childhood to its maturity. So far as the phenomena connected with long electric circuits were concerned, we had in 1858 no knowledge whatever. The instru ments in common use were unsuited to re ceiving siguals through a great length of ca ble ; the necessity ot providing for the con ductor an insulation so perfect as to approach an absolute condition was inadequately ap preciated. The best preliminary test for a long cable has 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 re commended the precautions which subse quent experience has shown to be necessary. When the signals began to fail the battery power was augmented, and electro-magnetic induction coils, which rapidly helped on the destruction of the conductor, were put in circuit.. No one though! of “nursing" the cable—of humoring its feeble attempts at articulate utterance, and of finding out what it said rather by listening acutely than by constantly calling on it, in the language of the Victoria gallery, to “Speak.” The old cable, however, is dead and gone; part of it has been picked up and applied to ignoble uses, ns a racehorse past his work may be put into the shafts of a Hansom; part of it has been abandoned, and lies where it may rest till the end of time, in the “darkun fathomed caves” of the deep sea. Let us turn to the practical present. THE SCIENTIFIC TESTS. It seems impossible that there can be any lault 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 hoard, 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 the instru ments in the testing room. The circuit is thus made through the whole extent of the -coil, the portion on l»oard and the portion alongside. The process of hauling in then commences, and the insulation is conliuu ously observed. The instruments in the test ing room record the smallest deviation from absolutely perfect insulation. It will be un derstood that an insulation which shall be quite perfect, as an electrician understands the word, is not attainable. A piece of metal separated by means of the purest glass, and enclosed in the driest atmosphere that can be obtained, will, if charged with electricity, lose that electricity after a time. In speaking of insulation we must therefore be under stood to mean an approximate condition; but the approximation in the case of the new Atlantic cable comes so near to perfection that this rough tarry rope is a scientific wonder. The last dying pulsation of the old Atlant ic cable was forced through it by means of a galvanic battery consisting of two hundred and forty cells. The submarine telegraph from London to Amsterdam is habitually worked with a battery of fifty cells, and such a battery is commonly used for the other submarine lines of Europe. Signals have been repeatedly sent through more than thir teen hundred miles of the cable now on board the Great Eastern, by means of one cell. Gavanic currents so feeble that they could not have been felt by the hand, and might have been passed harmlessly through a cir cuit completed by the operator s tongue, can be used to convey messages along a length of cable that would very nearly stretch from London to St. Petersburg. Over needle instruments, such as those in ordinary use for laud telegraphy, a culrent from one cell wonld be powerless To record such faint pulsations of electri city it is necessary to use Professor Thomp son’s mirror galvanometer. This beautiful instrument consists of a mirror about the size of a fourpenny piece, made of microscope glass, and so thin that it weighs only a grain. On the back of this mirror a minute magnet is fixed, and thus supplemented it is suspend ed by a silken fibre in the heart of a coil of wire, so that any current passing through the coil deflects the magnet and mirror along with it. A ray of light reflected by the mir ror falls on a scale, distant about eighteen or twenty inches, and reveals its faintest move ments. Different combinations of these move ments represent the different letters of the alphabet, and thus the apparently erratic wanderings ot a ray of light are made to con vey intelligence. An instrument of this kind is constantly used to test the cable, as it is hauled on hoard; and if any fault had exist ed it. could not have passed without detec tion. 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 vet 6u board, but is being p.ut together at the Green wich Works. The process of immersion will take about a fortnight. The beginning of the shore end will be laid by a small vessel, which will meet the Great Eastern about twenty miles from the Irish coast. The cable will then be passed on board, connected with lhat in the great tanks, and the big ship will begin her voyage. To tlie uninitiated this process of cutting and joining the cable ap pears very mysterious, but the engineers Who are used to the work face it without any hes itation. The joints do not really endanger either the insulation or the strength of the cable, as wherever they are made exter nal and conducting wires are spliced along a considerable length—sometimes not less than thirty yards— and the gutta percha carefully put on in separate layers, firmly pressed to gether by means of warm irons. The com’- pleteness of the joint is tested by laying it in an insulated metallic vessel containing water, and ascertaining, by means of tests applied to this vessel, whether any electricity escapes from the Joint as a current is passed along the cable. Diclcrna aa a Reporter. Readers of “David Copperfield" will re member Dickens’s lively description of a newspaper reporter’s struggles with the ste nographic system of short hand reporting, which was so incomprehensible in its details and so difficult to master that the luckless learner was driven to the verge of distraction by the severity of his labors. This passage and its allusion to the life of a newspaper re porter has generally been regarded as a bit of autobiography; and this conclusion fs veri fied by Mr. Dickens's recent speech at the Newspaper Press Fund dinner in London, at which he presided. Tiie Newspaper Press Fund is anew insti tution in London, founded two years ago, for protective and charitable purposes. Its sec ond celebration took place on the 20th ot May. Mr. Dickens made the opening speech, in which, after alluding to the power exer cised by a tree press, he gave the following pleasant reminiscences of his own life as a reporter : “I went into the gallery of the House of Commons as a parliamentary reporter when I was a boy not eighteen, and 1 left it—l can hardly believe the inexorable truth—nigh thirty years ago; and 1 have pursued the calling of a reporter under circumstances of which many of my brethren at home in Eng land here, many of my successors, can form no adequate conception. 1 have often transcribed for the printer from my short-hand notes important public speeches in which the strictest accuracy was required, and a mistake in which would have been to a young man severely compromising, which had been written on the palm of my hand by the light of a dark lantern in a post-chaise and four, galloping through a wild country, all|tlirough the dead of the night, at the then surprising rate of fifteen miles an hour “The very last time I was at Exeter I strol led into the castle yard there to identify, for the amusement of a friend, the spot on which I once took,’ as we used to call it, an elec tion speech of my noble friend Lord Russell in the midst of a lively fight maintained by all the vagabonds in that division of the county, and under such pelting rain that I remember two good-natured colleagues, who chanced to be at leisure, held a pocket hand kerchief over my note-book, after the man ner of a state canopy in an ecclesiastical pro cession. [Laughter. ] “I have worn my knees by writing on them on the old back row of the old gallery of the old House of Commons ; and I have worn my feet by standing to write in a preposter ous pen in the old House of Lords, where we used to be huddled like so many siieep [laughter], kept in waiting till the wool-sack might want restufting. (A laugh.) Returning home from excited political meetings in the country to the waiting press in London, I do verily believe I have been upset in almost every description of vehicle known in this country. [A laugh.] I have been, in my time, belated on miry by-roads, towards the small hours, forty or fifty miles from Lon don, in a ricketty carriage, with exhausted horses and drunken postboys, and have got back in time before publication to be received with never-forgotten compliments by Mr. Black, in the broadest of Scotoh, coming from the broadest of hearts I ever knew. (Hear, hear.) “Ladies and gentlemen : I mention these trivial things as an assurance to you that I never have forgotten the fascination of that old pursuit. [Cheers.] The pleasure that i used to feel in the rapidity and dexterity of its exercise ha3 never faded out of my breast. Whatever little cunning of hand or head I took to it, or acquired in it, I have so re tained as that I fully believe I could resume it to-morrow. [Cheers.] To this present year of my life, when I sit in this hall, or where not, hearing a dull speech—the phe nomenon does occur—[laughter]—l some times beguile the tedium of the moment by mentally following the speaker in the old, old way ; and sometimes, if you can believe me, I even find my hand going on the table cloth. [Laughter.] Accept these little truths as a confirmation of what I know, as a con firmation of my interest, in this old calling. Aceept them as a proof that my feeling fur the vocation of my youth is not a sentiment taken up to-night to be thrown away to morrow [hear, hear, ] but a faithful sympa thy, which is a part of myself. [Cheers.] I verily believe, 1 am sure, that if i had never quitted my old calling I should have been foiemost and zealous in the interest of this institution, believing it to be a sound, a wholesome, and a good one.
