A'Nxw Ati-vjitic CAM.—A scheme of
laying a new cable by a new route Is l>cing
effected. The line will rpn from Falmoutli,
England, to Halifax. by way of Oporto and
the Axotea. The submarine cable will Iks aix
hand mi sea miles from Falmouth to Oporto;
nine hundred from Oporto to the Azores and
fourteen hundred from the Aaores to Hali
fax, making twenty-nine hundred miles in
length.
The peculiar feature of the new cable is its
construction. It is described by Sir. Allan,
the inventor, as having an internal copper
wire cure, of dimensions that vary according
to the proposed length of the cable. This is
protected by a spiral coating of small steel
wires, which provision furnishes not only
great strength, but mncli flexibility to tlic
cable. Tlic whole is then imlsjdded in gntta
pcrvha, and then covered with an outer coat
ing of tarred hemp tape. These precaution
ary measures against rust and breakage arc
valuable improvements over those cables used
hitherto. It is claimed also for this cable
that it weighs only a quarter as much » for
mer Atlantic cables; that it will not stretch,
and will cost far Nsa than the ordinary ra-

Confederate officer, addressing a knot who
had been engaged in general conversation.'’
He said :
You ask me if I do not feel mortified to
participate in undoing the work I have been
ao long trying to have accomplished. I will
answer you aa I have a dozen othen: You
know I was as earnest as anybody, in actions
aa well as words. The appeal to arms was de
cided against ns. I now no ept the result as
it stand* recorded. I have : worn to support
the Union, and to acquiesce in the emancipa
tion acts, and I mean to do so. I think it is
tbc duty of cvcnr good Georgian to labor
now for the welfare of the South under the
new regime. I see no good to come from dis
cussing dead issues—trying to prove wc were
right, or somebody else wrong, and I liave no
use for people. North or South, who are con
stantly doing it Ha true conservative poli

Georgia has brilliant prospects before her;
but a great deal depends on her people, and
perhaps almost as much on what they do not
do, aa on what they do; for improjicr and
unwise acts will tell against her good more
at this and other times.
The views held by this Confederate officer,
cannot lie too highly commended. Our illus
trious leaders, Generals Lee and Jousstos—
men ri'bo embarked in the war from princi
ple, staked tlicir all upon its issue; men,
whose courage and patriotism arc beyond
suspicion, set tlic example in accepting the!
situation, and in exhorting their countrymen
to cease all opposition and agitation. They
did not submit witli the superstitious rever
ence of the Bengalee to the mandate of
fanaticism, but bowed to the decree ofndvcrsc
fortune, with the resignation of tme cliris-
Tlicy justly argued that, ns wc had
appealed to the arbitrament of arms, and ap
pealed unsuccessfully, it lichooved us to ac
quiesce uncomplainingly in its decision.
Time has vindicated tbc wisdom of the
example thus Set by these two, first in wan
and first in peace. Before tbc conclusion of
hostilities, many expected that in the event
of subjugation, wc should be treated with
such harshness as would eclipse the sufferings
of any previous subjugated people. But for
two events, this sad fate would undoubtedly
have been reserved to us. Many hoped
and argued, that even in the event of our ar
mies licing dispersed in the field, yet actua
ted by the resolution to conquer, or to die,
wc would follow tlia example of the Cam-
anclic and Seminole Indians, take to the
swamps and mountains, and finally wcary
our enemies into acknowledging our inde
pendence. Again: Mr. Jcunsox was sup
posed to Ire a man consumed with diabolical
passions, his hatred of the Southerners ac-
eknowlcdgrd, and only needing an opportu
nity, to reduce us to unfathomable depths of
misery and degradation. In course of time,
Mr. Johnson occupied the presidential chair,
and Pastors.

tary fairs are gotten up, and sometimes will

There is no doubt some truth in what the

pertinent, we will cite a fact that we wit
nessed a few years ago, in illustration of the
dfferencc of treatment accorded to the vol
unteer and veteran. About the time of Walk
er's famous occupation of Nicaragua, many
young men were invited to join him by the
applause of the public; voice. All of those
who left the Gulf States on this knight er
rant expedition, were regarded almost as he-
ros. After awhile, a steamboat load, filled
with wounded and broken down men, reached
the Balise, at the mouth of the Mississippi
river, utterly destitute, and anxious to reach
New Orleans. The tow boats, however, re
fused to take them up, without being paid in
advance, and none of the filibustering sym
pathisers in New Orleans were willing to de
fray the expense. At length Captain Dczr-

In regard to the nunored complications in
French and American affairs, the Independ
ence Beige says, the intention of the French
government, not to continue the occupation
of Mexico beyond what is absolutely neces
sary, and thereby to remove all cause of dis
pute with the United States is more decided
than ever. It is even said that a speech from
thc throne, at the next meeting of the French
chamber, will announce the immediate and
entire evacuation of Jlexico by thc French
troops.
Belgium papers of the 23d say negotiation
have been completed for a new corps ofBel-
ginn troops for Mexico, consisting of a regi
ment of cavalry of 7 squadrons, two' of which
will leave in January.
An English paper says the spot selected in
Westminster abbey, as the last resting place
of the late premier, is in thc north transept,
where He buried Castlcreagb, Wilberforce,
Canning, Charles James Fox, the cart of
Chatham and his brilliant son, and a host of
worthies, whose names have adorned this
country's history.
The London Tima of Oct. 23 says: “We
have to settle affairs with America to our
mutual satisfaction, and Lord Russell has his
hand in it. That is the main, perhaps the
only reason why lie should V premier.
Viewed in this light, he is a necessity, like
medicine. The nation must take him, even
though it makes a wry face.”

efforts of President Joiixsox in our behalf.—

The Fashions.—Balmorals of superb qual
ity continue in vogue. Black silks quilted in
diamonds or fancy pattern of colored stitch
ing are veiy fashionable. A popular style is
a pattern of embroidery in velvet. It can be
made several inches deep around the bottom
and to suit thc wearer's taste. Light balmo-
rals of poplins, clicoks, stripes, trimmed with
fluting or Hght colored embroidered bands
are popular.
Thc Empire bonnet lias become absolutely
hideous. Fashionable milliners Have become
disgusted with thc inelegant and abominably
ugly hunch-backed looking things, and will
not disgrace their establishments by sending

Paris have tabooed thc fashion. The hunch

thing, is only affected by gritetta.

Thompson, because thc general refused to ac
cept the Drake infamy known as tlie new
constitution oath, but offered instead of it an
oath prepared by himself, covering the whole
ground of constitutional allegiance to the
United States and the State of Missouri.
The scene was one of marked interest to
thc bystanders nnd not unamusing, from the
contrast exhibited in thc astonished and
very serious faces of the radical judg
es, and the composed and determined
purpose as shown on thc bronzed fea
tures of Gen. Blair. It was evident to all
present that the initiative was being taken to
overthrow tlic infamous violation of a great
vested right—thc right of franchise un
shackled by tlic test courage of thc new con
stitution.
Gen. Blair, after waiting for several to cast
their votes, said: “Gentlemen, I offer to cast
my vote, and am ready to prove to you I am 21
years of age, and have been a resident citizen
of the state of Jlissouri for over 20 years, and
that I am otherwise qualified to vote at the
present election. Here is my ballot (the gen
eral here presented to Judge Ridley his bal
lot.) I have prepared nnd now offer you an
oatli of allegiance, whiciri have subscribed
nnd sworn to. I decline to take the oath
prescribed by the new constitution of Missou
ri, and desire you to decide that I am enti
tled to cast my ballot without takjng.said
new constitution oath.
Mr. Ridgley replied—“We can’t decide so,
general, but must decide exactly the reverse,”
to which'Jlr.'Thompson assented.
Gen. Blair then said—“Gentlemen, I re
quire you to say, whether my ballot is reject
ed, only because I have refused to r ,tpke the
new constitution oath fj*
The judges answered—“Entirely so for no
other reason, because yon refuse to take the
constitution .oath.”
Gen. Blair inquired— ‘Do you regard me
in all other respects as a qualified voter?”
Messrs. Ridgley and Thompson replied—
“Certainly, your vote is rejected upon that
ground and that ground only.”
The ballots for Jlcssrs. Peekham and Daily
were then folded by Mr. Ridglcy and mark
ed to him “rejected,” and Gen. Blair quietly
left the poll.
Keen ox tiie Edoe.—Lawyers arc sharp
—don’t fool with them. We heard of an in
cident recently that was in point A. sued
B. to recover a claim of $100. A’s lawyer
made out the papers, which were served on
B., who is luinself a lawyer. The papers
were not duly stamped ns the law directs,
consequently B. took it easy and did not ap
pear. Plaintiffs were much surprised—look-
ed_ over thc papers to see what informality
might occur, whereupon the defendant could
hang an excuse for not appearing, but found
none. New papers were made out, and thc
amount sued for reduced—inadvertantly so
low that no stamp was required. A’s coun
sel served the papers. An interview took
place. B. explained why he did not appear
to answer at first, and informed his brother
at law that lie had laid himself liable to tho
government fine of $109 for not stamping, as
the law requires—$50 of which was to go to
Uncle Sam and $50 to the informant; but lie
would waive his $50, but not Uncle Sam’s.'—
Tlie counsel for the plaintiff was nonplussed.
He never bought $50 worth of experiencee so
suddenly in all his life. Suffice it to say, the
claim of his client was adjusted satisfactorily
all around without any trial at all.—Dacen-

jS?” Tlic New York correspondent of the
Boston Pott says:
Perhaps it is rank heresy to say it, but
there are some people who are not in tears
over the departure of the “English capitalists" j
by the Scotia, on Wednesday. Tlicir jour-'
neyings and junketings across the coun
try ought to have sent them home, not only
in great good hnnior but considerably ela
ted anent the worshipful reception accorded
them by almost all classes of our people. Their
repute, as possessors of immense wealth, which
on investigation, they were w aiting to scat
ter broadcast over the United Sates, did not
fail to bring around them multitudes of mam
monish moths, whose ideOartry was both
transparent and ludicrous to lookers on. But
it seems that, even across the water, they have
not been without witnesses, for the London
Saturday Reriae of Oct. 7th, sneeririgly says:
“We may langh heartily at thc •perfect ova
tions’ with which it appears that certain En
glish railway capitalists are being received in
the United States, and when we remember
Sir Jlorton Peto and Mr. Kinnaird. it is ex
cessively funny to read the mighty aphorism
of thc American journalist that ‘the capital
ists of a country are its brains.’” When will
onr people give over worshipping the golden
calf of British capital—which is an idol that
sneers at and snubs its devotees in proportion
as their devotion grows warm and servile ?
